459 Heartache
“Dad, why do we have to go out? She’s just taking a pulse. Is there a need for her to do this?”
Looking at the closed door, Cheng Ronghua was immediately displeased. Xu Guochao turned around and looked at Xu Haiping with cold eyes. “The two of you can go back!”
Hearing that, Cheng Ronghua’s face turned pale and her body swayed. She looked at her husband helplessly, who was also in a daze.
“Dad, Dad, what did you say?”
Xu Haiping’s mind went blank. Although he had two capable sons, he was a very mediocre man. Apart from relying on Elder Xu to get money, he also received help from his sons.
To be honest, he did not have any big ambitions. He only wanted to live a comfortable life and not to worry about anything.
Xu Guochao couldn’t even be bothered to cast a glance at Xu Haiping. Instead, he looked at Xu Linfeng. “Linfeng, help your parents back.”
Xu Linfeng glanced at his parents, who were stunned, and sighed in his heart. The old man had already made it clear previously that no one was to kick up a scene again. Why were they still so stubborn? Although they were his parents, sometimes, he felt that they were really useless.
Cheng Ronghua realized that the old man was serious. Just as she was about to make a scene, Xu Linfeng covered her mouth and whispered into her ear, “Mom, don’t make a scene. Brother and I will put in a good word for you. You don’t want me and Brother to be kicked out by Grandpa, do you?”
For the sake of her sons, Cheng Ronghua was willing to do anything.
In the bedroom.
“Doctor Qin, aren’t you going to take her pulse?” Xu Linyuan asked softly when he saw Qin Xi standing beside Xu Wu’s bed in a daze.
Qin Xi closed her eyes and sensed everything that had happened to Xu Wu. She looked at Xu Linyuan and Xu Haisheng. “There’s no need to take her pulse.”
The two of them were stunned for a moment before disappointment filled their eyes. They thought that Qin Xi’s medical skills would be better than that of other doctors. Was there really no hope for Xu Wu?
Qin Xi did not seem to notice their sadness. Her voice was solemn. “Now, everything I’m about to say is serious. You’d better listen carefully.”
The two of them looked at each other and immediately had a bad feeling.
“Doctor Qin, please speak.”
Qin Xi said word by word, “Her soul is imprisoned and is being devoured by a Yin spirit. Before long, the Yin spirit will gain intelligence and eat up her body to nourish itself so that it can be used by its master to revive the dead in the future. Do you know how much pain she’s in now?”
“The pain of one’s heart being gouged out is incomparable to it…”
The two of them turned pale. Xu Haisheng was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out. His lips trembled as he muttered, “The pain of one’s heart being gouged out is incomparable to it…”
Xu Linyuan’s body swayed. He could not believe that the apple of the Xu family was actually suffering such torture and pain. Their hearts felt like they were being pierced by thousands of needles, and they felt suffocated.
“Doctor Qin, but Xu Wu looks fine…” Xu Linyuan asked to dispel the fear in his heart.
However, when Qin Xi saw the two of them like this, she pursed her lips and threw a talisman at them. “That’s what you saw, and my world is like this…”
Before Xu Haisheng and Xu Linyuan could react to what Qin Xi was throwing at them, the world in front of them suddenly changed. It was terrifying, sinister, and filled with Yin energy.
The two of them were so frightened that their legs went weak. However, when they saw the Yin spirit on Xu Wu’s head, all their fear turned into anger.
