"Aging disease? That's really odd; I've never encountered it before." Ling Zhenfei was very puzzled. How could there be such a strange illness? He hadn't seen any mention of it in ancient texts.

Seeing the puzzled look on Ling Zhenfei's face, Bai Ling tentatively asked, "Do you feel confident about treating it?"

"Every disease has its causes, so if it can surface, it can surely be treated. Without seeing the patient, however, I cannot give you a certain answer."

"This is troublesome then. If you could be certain, this matter would be much easier to handle." After saying this, Bai Ling moved closer to Ling Zhenfei with a mischievous smile, "I've joined your fan group, and your fans are truly wild. Each one of them is fiercely defending you against the haters, as if it's their duty. If you don't step in, they will definitely be disappointed."

"You really are something, even joining my fan group. Dealing with these fans is actually a headache for me. This situation has gotten so big partly because of them. But their intentions are good; they want to defend my image. If I don't step forward, I really will disappoint them."

Bai Ling laughed, seeming very pleased with Ling Zhenfei's words, then said, "Not all your fans are expecting you to step in, though. Many professional doctors are among your fans, and they've analyzed that this disease is a global challenge with no possible cure, so they're not blindly asking you to save the day. Instead, they want you to be cautious and not to act without thinking, lest you risk your reputation for an incurable illness."

This person made sense. If Ling Zhenfei stepped in, even if he managed to cure the patient, others would simply take it for granted. But if he failed, it would be his own fault. Treating this young boy had too many drawbacks.

"But with so many people online following this matter, if I don't get involved, it'll also damage my reputation."

"The way this has developed, it's gone out of control and beyond our expectations. The final decision is still up to you: whether to take a chance and solidify your Divine Doctor identity in the eyes of most, or to hide away and pretend ignorance, covering up today's embarrassment."

Ling Zhenfei fell silent, and so did Bai Ling, just looking at her phone. At this moment, the food arrived; it was all made with vegetables from Xishan Manor. Just by the smell, Ling Zhenfei could tell the chef had done a good job.

"Wow, this is really good. I've never had such a delicious vegetable salad. This flavor is absolutely amazing." Bai Ling shouted excitedly after tasting a bite of her meal, not skimping on her praise for Xishan Manor's vegetables.

Ling Zhenfei was also a bit hungry and started eating as well. Even though he was feeling uneasy, he still needed to eat. A simple vegetable salad, with just Xishan Manor's vegetables and some dressing, could sell for so much. He found it an exquisite delight.

At this time, Bai Ling cared nothing for her image and ate voraciously, only sighing in satisfaction after she finished the entire plate of vegetable salad.

"This food is too delicious; I'm really scared I won't be able to eat it again. What would I do then?" Bai Ling sounded genuinely upset saying this.

"Don't worry. We have plenty of vegetables in Xishan Manor; you'll have more than enough," he reassured her.

"You said it, no take-backs," Bai Ling said with a beaming smile.

This was the first time Ling Zhenfei had seen Bai Ling eat, and he found her quite unique compared to other girls he had met before.

"Quick, look at Weibo. The Alliance Hierarch of the anti-Ling Zhenfei alliance has spoken, utterly disrespectful." Bai Ling, who had been browsing Weibo while eating, said with indignation.

Ling Zhenfei hastily took Bai Ling's phone to take a look, and this is what he saw on Weibo.

"Ling Zhenfei is nothing but a complete fraud. We have confirmed that all of Ling Zhenfei's healing videos are spliced together, with the sole purpose of creating a myth of the Divine Doctor to swindle money.

We have made a detailed analysis video, and those who don't believe can check my previous Weibo posts. Now, his mindless fans are asking Ling Zhenfei to treat this little boy. They are really overestimating this guy; the kid has a real illness, a difficult and complicated disease that can't be packaged and hyped. Ling Zhenfei doesn't even dare to speak up. If Ling Zhenfei has the courage to show up and help treat the boy, I'll cover all the treatment costs."

The Weibo user is known as Zhao Tianbi Ri, listed as the Alliance Hierarch of the anti-Ling Zhenfei hype alliance. Whether it's true or not is unknown, but judging by the number of followers, it seems to be true.

Once this Weibo was posted, the number of retweets was already quite significant, and it's still growing, which is pretty intimidating.

"What should I do?" Ling Zhenfei asked Bai Ling.

After thinking for a bit, Bai Ling said, "This is slander. If it were a celebrity, they would issue a statement and then send a lawyer's letter, or just ignore it. But you can't ignore it; the impact is too big. If you don't address it, people will take it as the truth."

Ling Zhenfei really felt a headache, not knowing what to do. However, this Zhao Tianbi Ri is shameless enough, claiming that those genuine videos are fake. This is like nitpicking in a chicken egg.

"Look, your fan alliance has fought back," Bai Ling showed him her phone again.

This Weibo was posted by the official Weibo of his fan alliance, aimed specifically at Zhao Tianbi Ri's post.

"This fan alliance guarantees with the integrity of its four million fans that Ling Zhenfei's healing videos are all real, all shot by netizens. The original footage can be found online as well as the parties and witnesses involved in the filming.

That someone could find fault in these videos only shows that there's something wrong with their hearts; they're critically ill and should seek Mr. Ling Zhenfei's treatment.

The fan alliance reiterates that Xiao Kunkun's illness is one of the rarest complex diseases worldwide, with no records of treatment or cure anywhere in the world.

For such a disease, Mr. Ling Zhenfei's intervention is an act of a doctor's compassion, and his non-intervention is a doctor's duty. Maybe some people should seek Mr. Ling Zhenfei's help for their mental illnesses – guaranteed to cure."

This Weibo is written very competently, not only addressing Zhao Tianbi Ri's post but also explaining the difficulty of treating such diseases to the public, and ending with a dig at Zhao Tianbi Ri and others; it's quite splendid.

The number of shares and comments under this post is astounding, and the account's follower count is skyrocketing.

"Who runs this fan alliance account? They are very capable," Ling Zhenfei asked Bai Ling.

"This person is also a doctor. He has always said not to get involved, considering that treating such diseases would be more harmful than beneficial, not worth it. The point of view in that Weibo is also his," said Bai Ling, quite proudly, as if she knew this doctor well.

At this moment, Zhao Tianbi Ri's Weibo spoke up again, but this time it was posted using the account of the anti-Ling Zhenfei hype alliance.
