Chapter 64: The Hua Family’s Dilemma

He folded his arms and read the content carefully.

Whoever could cure the Hua family’s young lady would be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver.

"Shiyuan, why don’t you take it down? As for medical skills, I’m really not very capable."

This was Ye Shiyuan’s area of expertise.

He should be able to handle it with ease and certainty.

They could both save someone and also enter the Hua residence to investigate the situation.

Wasn’t that perfect?

Moreover, Bai He could clearly sense that the demonic aura outside the Hua residence was much denser than in other places.

It was evident that the demon was very likely inside.

Ye Shiyuan took down the notice, then went with Bai He to the gates of the Hua residence.

Two guards at the entrance went inside to report their arrival.

Before long, someone came out.

When the main gates opened, they saw a man and a woman who appeared to be the parents of the Hua family’s young lady.

"Was it you who took down the notice?"

"Yes, that’s right! Sir and Madam, my elder brother is a miracle doctor. We only arrived here yesterday. My brother has treated countless difficult and complicated illnesses. Seeing that Miss Hua is suffering from disease, we took down the notice in hopes of helping her recover soon," Bai He replied calmly.

If left to explain things himself, Ye Shiyuan would probably not manage to make it clear.

He would handle saving people, while Bai He would handle the explanations.

It was a fairly clear division of labor.

"So that’s the case. Please, both of you, come in."

After understanding the situation, they allowed them inside.

They did not question them too closely because they were overly worried about their daughter.

No matter who the visitors were, as long as there was even the slightest bit of hope, they would not give up.

Upon stepping into the Hua residence, the dense demonic aura made Bai He feel nauseated.

Fortunately, he immediately swallowed a pill and only then returned to normal.

The demon was definitely here.

There was no mistake.

"Sir, would you like to rest first, or would you prefer to examine my daughter’s condition right away?"

Madam Hua’s question was largely a test.

If Ye Shiyuan and Bai He had only come to swindle food and lodging, they would most likely choose to rest first.

If they had truly come to save someone, they would certainly choose to see the patient immediately.

Bai He held onto Ye Shiyuan’s arm and said, "My brother saves lives and helps the world, carrying the well-being of all under heaven in his heart. Now that we have come to the Hua residence, of course he wishes to see Miss Hua as soon as possible. Helping her recover quickly is what matters most, isn’t that right, brother?"

Ye Shiyuan nodded. "Mm. My little brother is right."

Hearing this, Madam Hua felt somewhat reassured.

These two seemed fairly reliable.

"Madam Hua, I heard that not long ago, Miss Hua was married. I also heard that the live-in son-in-law who joined the family is peerlessly handsome."

At the mention of this matter, Madam Hua did not look pleased. "What use is a handsome face? Xiao Xue must have been bewitched by something to insist on marrying a man of unknown origin."

"Madam, is he currently in the residence?"

"He has gone out."

Bai He nodded.

Ye Shiyuan should have caught that piece of information as well.

Before long, they arrived at the courtyard where Hua Xuedie resided.

Under Madam Hua’s guidance, they entered Miss Hua’s room.

Inside the room, the smell of medicine mixed with demonic aura.

Even after taking a pill, Bai He found it somewhat unbearable.

"Madam, when my brother is diagnosing a patient, no one may disturb him. Why don’t Madam and I wait outside?"

Although Madam Hua was somewhat uneasy, Ye Shiyuan had an upright and trustworthy appearance that made people instinctively believe in him.

So, she agreed.

Moreover, Bai He was staying as well.

After the door was closed, Ye Shiyuan looked at the woman lying weakly on the bed.

Her eyes were half-open as she looked at him. "You are?"

"I am Ye Shiyuan. Your parents invited me to treat your illness."

Her complexion was extremely poor. She hurriedly said, "Sir, you should leave quickly. He will not let me go."

"Why do you say that? Was marrying him not your own choice?"

"Sir, I beg you, this matter has nothing to do with you. There is no need for you to treat my illness. If I die, it will end everything. I do not want anyone to be implicated because of me."

Ye Shiyuan had not expected that this Miss Hua Xuedie would be such a kind-hearted person.

Living every day with a ruthless demon and yet still maintaining her kindness was truly rare.

"Miss, a physician’s heart is benevolent. Since I have taken down the notice, it would not be in keeping with my principles to leave without even examining you. Rest assured, I will do my utmost to cure you."

Ye Shiyuan waved his hand and a faint gentle sensation immediately enveloped her.

Hua Xuedie pale complexion suddenly improved and she realized that the man in front of her was absolutely not an ordinary person.

However, even if he wasn’t ordinary, he was definitely no match for that monster.

That monster was far too terrifying.

After completing his diagnosis, Ye Shiyuan took out a pill. "Miss, please take this."

But Hua Xuedie turned her head. "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I will not take the medicine. You should leave as soon as possible. He will return shortly, and if he sees you alone with me, he will surely be angry. He will definitely retaliate against you secretly."

Yet Ye Shiyuan’s expression remained unchanged.

Hua Xuedie continued, "I know you are not an ordinary person, sir, but... that monster is truly too powerful. You cannot defeat him. I will not take the medicine. If I fall ill and even die from it, I will harbor no resentment whatsoever."
