"How's it going, sir?" Elder Min asked hastily when he saw Ling Zhenfei looking aside.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Elder, may I ask when Min Xiang first noticed the illness?"

Elder Min replied, "It was about a year ago when we first noticed something was wrong, but it hasn't been resolved, so it's getting worse now."

Ling Zhenfei said, "So what was Min Xiang like a year ago? Was everything fine?"

Elder Min said, "Everything was quite good a year ago."

"So, was Min Xiang living with Elder Min a year ago?"

Ling Zhenfei's words made Elder Min's face flush. Elder Min said, "To be honest with you, sir, I only started living with Min Xiang about one and a half years ago, that's when Xiangxiang found me."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback. So Min Xiang only began showing symptoms about six months after arriving at the Min Family, not as Min Lu stated, who said Min Xiang had issues upon arrival.

It's clear that Min Lu lied about this matter. Even if he didn't say anything, he was deliberately trying to hide it.

Ling Zhenfei was even sure that Min Xiang's illness was related to the Min family members. He just didn't know what means they used and which person was involved—Min Chuan, Min Lu, or Min Yue.

Or perhaps all three families were involved. If so, just imagine how terrifying this matter would be.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I've basically figured out Min Xiang's condition. I won't leave tonight; I'll treat Min Xiang tomorrow morning."

"Really, sir? Are you confident you can cure Min Xiang?" Elder Min was very pleased.

Min Xiang also asked with some excitement, "Divine Doctor, what exactly caused my condition?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't speak for now, have a good rest. After I treat you tomorrow morning, you can say whatever you want."

Those waiting at the door were all stunned, especially Min Yue and Min Chuan, who had indescribable expressions on their faces.

Min Lu said, "Mr. Ling, is it true? Can you really cure it?"

"I can cure the illness with a touch." Ling Zhenfei seemed very confident.

"Good, since that's the case, please treat Min Xiang tomorrow morning. There are many rooms in this villa, sir, you're welcome to stay here."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I'll just find a room and settle in."

After everything was settled, Elder Min led a group of people out, leaving Ling Zhenfei alone. Ling Zhenfei's room was right next to Min Xiang's.

Once everyone left, Ling Zhenfei returned to Min Xiang's room, sat beside Min Xiang, and gently checked her pulse.

"You're not confident about my illness, are you?" Min Xiang asked softly.

Ling Zhenfei shook his head and said, "Your illness is not particularly difficult, but even the best Medical Arts can't heal the heart."

"What do you mean?" Min Xiang asked.

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's meaningless; you'll understand in the future. Now, I suddenly want to mention something, a condition for your treatment."

Min Xiang showed a hint of disdain and said, "What condition?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's time to rest now. I see your bed is quite comfortable. How about you rest in the next room for a night, and I'll sleep here."

Min Xiang laughed, "I didn't expect you'd want to sleep in a sick person's bed. I really don't know what kind of person you are."

Ling Zhenfei chuckled, "Any place a beauty has slept is a good one."

"If you want to sleep here, suit yourself," Min Xiang said. She was too weak to resist whatever Ling Zhenfei intended.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Then I apologize."

After speaking, Ling Zhenfei reached under Min Xiang's body, and with some force, carried Min Xiang with the quilt to the next room.

Just as he reached the door, he bumped into the woman caring for Min Xiang, slightly awkward as their eyes met. The woman looked fearful.

"What do you intend to do?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just want to move Min Xiang to a different place. This place isn't suitable for treatment; the window doesn't let in any air."

Ling Zhenfei was truthful; perhaps due to concerns about drafts, Min Xiang's room was sealed, which made Ling Zhenfei very uncomfortable.

Ling Zhenfei didn't care about the maid's opinion and directly carried Min Xiang to the room he was originally supposed to rest in.

"I really don't know what you intend to do. Are you really a doctor? You don't look like one to me."

Ling Zhenfei said, "As long as I can cure you, that's enough."

The maid came over, holding a very delicate metallic object, intending to place it in the room.

Ling Zhenfei said, "What's this?" blocking the maid.

The maid said, "This is ambergris, it calms the mind, and Xiangxiang really likes the scent."

Only then did Ling Zhenfei recognize the fragrance that filled Xiangxiang's room, thinking originally it was Xiangxiang's own aroma, but unexpectedly it was the scent of ambergris.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Take it away; this is my room. Don't fill it with fragrance." After speaking, Ling Zhenfei pushed the maid out.

Ling Zhenfei sat back next to Xiangxiang, contemplating, and indeed found his situation better in this room, unsure if it was psychological.

"Are you perhaps a fraud?" Xiangxiang suddenly said.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Even a fraud can save you. Do you realize how dangerous you are?"

Xiangxiang said, "Of course I know. It's my body, isn't it?"

Min Xiang thought Ling Zhenfei referred to her physical condition, unaware of the greater danger—human nature.

Ling Zhenfei said, "To put it bluntly, you may not know how dangerous you are now. If not for me, today would be the end for you. Because I'm here, you can continue to live."

"You're talking as if you're The Bodhisattva Guanyin." It seemed Min Xiang was still somewhat skeptical of Ling Zhenfei.

It was understandable; Ling Zhenfei didn't appear to be a doctor, as he was too young.

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "What if I heal you?"

Min Xiang said, "If you can heal me, let me skateboard and ride bikes, I'll give you everything."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Alright, that's a promise."

Ling Zhenfei gave Min Xiang a Qi Replenishing Pill and a Detoxification Pill, then let her sleep.

Ling Zhenfei, however, could not rest, as this night was destined to be sleepless. Ling Zhenfei suspected people might come tonight, which was why he chose to stay in Min Xiang's room.

Ling Zhenfei lay on Min Xiang's bed, which still held her scent.

Along with the scent of ambergris, in traditional Chinese medicine, ambergris calms the mind. Yet, Ling Zhenfei found the scent odd, wondering if the problem lay in the fragrance itself?
