From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

Chapter 648 - 619: Witnessing a Miracle

Ye Changyuan said, "Dad, your head truly doesn’t hurt anymore?"Elder Ye nodded, "Where’s Xiaoxu?"

Qiao Rulong said, "I helped him to his guest room to rest. He just vomited a mouthful of blood. We wanted to take him to the hospital for treatment, but he said it wasn’t necessary."

Ye Changquan hadn’t had time to change his clothes; blood stains were still on him.

Elder Ye said, "For the sake of my illness, he’s really been through a lot."

Ye Changyuan and his brother exchanged looks. Although their father kept saying he was fine, they didn’t really believe it. Even if Xu Chunliang truly practiced Qi Gong, how would he handle a tumor inside the skull? Could it really be eliminated without surgery like external lithotripsy? If it were that powerful, would there still be any need for neurosurgery?

Ye Qingya said, "Doesn’t it seem like Grandpa’s spirit has improved a lot?"

Elder Ye stood up, and a group of people quickly went to support him. Elder Ye waved his hand, saying, "No one needs to help me, I can walk." He stretched his limbs and murmured, "My hands aren’t numb anymore, and I don’t feel dizzy. I’m fine, completely fine!"

Ye Changquan said, "There really is Qi Gong that cures all diseases, huh." He didn’t believe it, but seeing his father’s current state, he did seem not like a patient.

Ye Changyuan said, "Dad, why don’t you rest first? Tomorrow, we’ll accompany you to the hospital for a full body checkup."

Elder Ye shook his head, "I’m fine. I want to go see Xiaoxu."

Everyone urged him not to move about too much. At this time Xu Chunliang came, having just taken a shower and changed into clean clothes. He didn’t look too well but was much better than when he had fainted on the ground.

Elder Ye walked up to him, holding Xu Chunliang’s hand, and said, "Xiaoxu, why aren’t you staying in the room to rest?"

Xu Chunliang smiled, "I’ve finished the tasks that Brother Long and sis-in-law asked of me, and I’ve cleared your ailment, so I should be heading back."

Ye Changquan thought to himself, this brat isn’t planning on running away, is he? Is he worried that the Ye Family will hold him accountable? If the old man ends up worse because of his treatment, we won’t let him go no matter where he escapes to. It’s normal to be cautious when it concerns a matter of life and death for one’s father.

Ye Changquan said, "The house isn’t lacking a place to stay. What’s the rush? Just stay and rest."

Xu Chunliang saw through his thoughts, laughing, "Are you worried I’m going to flee to avoid responsibility?"

Elder Ye said, "There’s no fleeing from responsibility here. I’ve written a disclaimer and requested Xiaoxu’s treatment of my own accord. Whatever happens during or as a result of the treatment is entirely my responsibility and unrelated to Xiaoxu."

Xu Chunliang said, "Although there were some ups and downs during the treatment process, it turned out fine in the end, thanks mainly to Elder Ye’s strong willpower. With someone else, it might not have gone as smoothly." He subtly flattered Elder Ye.

Elder Ye said, "Your medical skills are exceptional indeed."

The Ye siblings exchanged looks. Whether their father’s illness was truly cured remained uncertain, but one thing was certain: Xu Chunliang had successfully convinced the old man.

Xu Chunliang said, "I have things to do early tomorrow morning, it’s not convenient to stay here. Anyway, Elder Ye is alright now, I’ll leave first. After you go to the hospital tomorrow, you’ll understand."

Elder Ye said, "In that case, we won’t insist you stay, Rulong, you take Xiaoxu home."

Qiao Rulong nodded.

Before leaving, Xu Chunliang said, "Elder Ye, I hope everyone keeps the matter of my treatment for you secret. Regardless of the hospital check results, don’t mention my involvement in the treatment."

Elder Ye said, "Don’t worry, we won’t speak of it." According to what Xu Chunliang mentioned, someone had poisoned him; Elder Ye had already vaguely identified someone as the culprit in his mind.

Ye Changyuan saw Xu Chunliang out, returned home, and realized it was already half-past four in the morning. With all the drama, he felt completely awake now.

Ye Changquan was waiting in the living room with a stance prepared to call to account.

Ye Qingya helped Grandpa back to his room to rest, ensuring he was settled before she returned.

Seeing her father and uncle speaking softly in the living room, Ye Qingya said, "Second Uncle, don’t blame Dad. I’m the one who invited him. Address me if you have concerns."

Ye Changquan sighed, "Qingya, I’m not blaming you. I’ve been working abroad for years, and Grandpa has been cared for entirely by you guys. I can’t be grateful enough. But as the saying goes, desperate times lead to desperate measures. We can’t be swindled by Jianghu fraudsters."

Ye Qingya said, "Xu Chunliang is not a Jianghu fraudster."

Ye Changyuan nodded, "I can vouch for that. He comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners; his medical skills are legitimate."

Ye Changquan knew a bit about Xu Chunliang’s background too, and didn’t press further. Anyway, the treatment had been conducted, the effort applied, luckily without serious consequences.

Ye Changquan said, "We’ll take Dad to the hospital in a while; I just feel something odd about him."

The brothers exchanged gazes, both thinking of ’the light before dying’, yet neither willing to voice it. Tonight, they were too restless to sleep and planned to take the old man for a checkup first thing once he woke.

Ye Changquan suggested his brother and niece rest, stating he hadn’t adjusted to the time zone yet and was wide awake.

Ye Changyuan also couldn’t sleep well and told his daughter to rest.

At the request of Xu Chunliang, Qiao Rulong took Xu Chunliang to his villa in the Western Capital. Xu Chunliang mainly wanted a place where he wouldn’t be disturbed to rest.

The two didn’t talk much along the way. Xu Chunliang was too exhausted from overusing his Inner Strength to bother with conversation, and Qiao Rulong didn’t know where to start. He was anxious inside. What was Elder Ye’s situation exactly? Was the illness cured or not?

When Xu Chunliang got out of the car, Qiao Rulong came over to help him.

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I’m not so frail as to need that, Brother Long. You should hurry back and get some rest too."

Qiao Rulong finally asked, "What’s Elder Ye’s condition now?"

Xu Chunliang replied, "You wouldn’t believe me if I said he’s fine. Better to wait for the test results."

Qiao Rulong pressed his lips together and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Xu Chunliang told Qiao Rulong not to worry about him and not to tell anyone he was there. He would leave on his own after waking up.

Qiao Rulong gave him the key. Since he hardly ever came here, Xu Chunliang was free to use the place during his stay in the capital.

After returning, Xu Chunliang immediately sat cross-legged to meditate, using the Heart Method of the Tianyi Chapter to restore his depleted Inner Strength.

It wasn’t until four in the afternoon that Xu Chunliang completed his cultivation, and his physical condition returned to normal.

He turned on his phone and saw many messages, mostly from Pu Jian and Chen Qianfan. Both of them had wanted to meet Xu Chunliang for drinks the previous night, but his phone was off, and he didn’t reply to any messages, as if he had vanished into thin air.

In the messages, Xu Chunliang found one from Ye Qingya, who had sent him a medical report. It showed that, according to hospital reexamination, the tumor inside Elder Ye’s skull had miraculously disappeared.

Xu Chunliang got up and went to the living room, where he saw Qiao Rulong sitting on the sofa, looking at his phone.

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "You didn’t leave?"

Qiao Rulong said, "I just came back not long ago. Did you just wake up?"

Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "I slept comfortably this time."

Qiao Rulong asked, "Is your body okay?" Xu Chunliang looked energetic, unlike someone who was sick, but Qiao Rulong had seen him cough up blood last night and was worried that he might have developed some ailment, for which his sister would surely blame him.

Xu Chunliang shook his head, "I’m completely recovered. Brother Long, could you please send me back to the Beijing Office?"

Qiao Rulong said, "Elder Ye has recovered. He had a full check-up this morning, and the tumor in his brain has completely vanished."

Xu Chunliang had already expected this outcome and smiled, "Didn’t I say that good people are protected by the heavens?"

Qiao Rulong said, "My father-in-law and the others are very grateful to you and would like to thank you in person."

Xu Chunliang said, "No need for that. The reason I treated Elder Ye was solely out of respect for you. Please tell them that if they truly wish to thank me, they should keep this a secret."

Qiao Rulong thought to himself that his sister must have played a role, although hearing Xu Chunliang’s words felt good. Elder Ye’s recovery meant that his influence would last for several more years, which was beneficial to both the Ye Brothers and himself.

Xu Chunliang’s abilities were indeed extraordinary. If others found out, it might not be a good thing. Treating Elder Ye last night had exhausted him to the point of coughing up blood. If every treatment were like this, he wouldn’t be able to treat many more patients and might even lose his life.

What he didn’t know was that although Xu Chunliang had depleted a lot of Inner Strength, he wasn’t exhausted to the point of coughing up blood. The coughing was all part of his strategy to show the Ye Family his sacrifice and to make everyone aware that treating Elder Ye was a life-threatening task. Such matters should never be publicized.

Considering that Xu Chunliang hadn’t eaten yet, Qiao Rulong suggested eating something before sending him back.

At that moment, Chen Qianfan called.

When Xu Chunliang answered the call, Chen Qianfan complained, "Chunliang, I finally reached you. Your phone was off from last night until now, and Pu Jian and I thought something had happened to you."

Xu Chunliang laughed and said, "Brother Chen, what could possibly happen to me? I was mainly attending an internal training, and the organizers required us to turn off our phones."

"We’re classmates, right? Isn’t the class officially starting tomorrow?"

Xu Chunliang replied, "I have other assignments."

Chen Qianfan said, "I forgot, you’re also the leader in Hu Shan Town."

Pu Jian and Chen Qianfan were together, and he grabbed the phone, also complaining. The purpose of the call was to invite Xu Chunliang to dinner that evening.

Huang Wanglin, Master Huang San of Linzheng Hall, heard Xu Chunliang was in town and invited him to dinner tonight. Pu Jian had agreed on his behalf.

Xu Chunliang knew it must have been Pu Jian’s quick mouth, but Master Huang San was a good person, having provided the clue for the last dragon bone. Since he had recovered, Xu Chunliang decided to accept the invitation.
