Zhao Qin on the side was obviously confused when he heard Li Huowang's words.

He couldn't understand what the other party was saying. Just as he clenched his fists and tried to say something, an old woman's voice made him forget everything in an instant.

"Master, look! Our son has come back."

Shocked, he turned to his wife and was surprised to see her clear for the first time in thirty years of being possessed.

"Do you... recognize me?" Zhao Qin rushed to her side, holding her hands tightly in excitement.

"Master, look how good our son is. He knows to be filial to his mother. He knows I like freshly fried dough sticks, so he went to buy them early in the morning."

The old woman spoke, biting the hem of Yang Xiaohai's clothes with her loose teeth.

Then, all the disciples of the Longteng Escort Agency were surprised to see the usually serious head of the escort agency shed tears.

Zhao Qin walked over and hugged his wife, crying out loud. "Fengxia... I'm sorry!"

Wang Chengxing, who had followed his master since childhood, suddenly felt his nose tingling. Although his master had a strict personality, he also knew that it was just a disguise.

At this time, Bai Lingmiao walked to Li Huowang's side and quietly tugged at his sleeve, asking in surprise, "Senior Li, how did you do it? You're amazing."

Li Huowang looked at the old couple embracing each other with a complicated expression. "Experience is the mother of wisdom. I have seen this before in the hospital. Actually, compared to identifying symptoms, I am better at identifying mental drugs."

"What kind of evil has she been possessed by?"

Li Huowang sighed lightly. "She hasn't been possessed by any evil. She was just too traumatized at the beginning and couldn't get over it for a while. As a result, she was locked up for thirty years and became like this."

After speaking, he was about to leave the dimly lit room with Bai Lingmiao, but was stopped by someone.

It was Zhao Qin, with tears in his eyes. He knelt down heavily and thanked Li Huowang. "Thank you for helping us!"

"Don't thank me yet. It's not over yet. Take her out and wash her clean and change her clothes."

At this moment, Li Huowang's words were like a decree in Zhao Qin's ears, and he immediately followed through with it.

The old woman, dressed in new clothes, was sent to a bright and warm bedroom, still holding Yang Xiaohai in her arms.

Li Huowang reminded Zhao Qin on the side, "If she likes to hold him, let her hold him. Spend some money to hire some children to take turns holding him. She's looking for a substitute in her heart to make up for her past losses."

"When the sun is out, take her out to bask in the sun more. Sun exposure can improve her mood and have a positive effect on the patient's recovery."

"If there's no one to accompany her, get her two dogs as pets. Pets can also have a calming effect on the mind."

"Thirty years is too long. Early intervention is more effective for this kind of illness. You should focus on stabilizing her condition."

Li Huowang paused for a moment, recalling what Dr. Li had said to other patients' families, and relayed other details to Zhao Qin.

"I only remember this much. Try it out. It's better than being locked up in a dark room with chains. Don't lock her up anymore, or use chains. She's already sick like this, and locking her up will only make it worse."

Zhao Qin looked at his quiet wife and was filled with excitement in his eyes. "It's enough. It's already enough."Li Huowang never thought that his wife, after thirty years, could still recognize him. In his eyes, he was now in the presence of a divine doctor!

"That's it then, if there's nothing else, we'll be on our way. We still have a long journey ahead of us tomorrow."

As Li Huowang was leaving, Zhao Qin stopped him with his trembling hands and said to his disciple, "Yuanhu, go to Dongfulou and prepare a feast, a grand feast!"

To express his sincerity, Zhao Qin spared no effort.

The best restaurant in this small town was reserved by the Longteng Escort Agency to entertain Li Huowang and the others.

The most luxurious banquet in the restaurant was beyond comparison to the inn's lobby. All kinds of delicacies made everyone's mouths water. Grilled chicken with fruit wood, braised whole fish, mixed preserved meats, and locust flower soup...

Especially the roasted suckling pig in the center of the table, with its tender and juicy meat roasted to a golden crisp, the fragrant juices enveloping it, and the faint oiliness shining under the candlelight, the aroma wafting through the air.

Even the mantou was squatting at Li Huowang's feet, excitedly licking its tongue and waiting for the leftover bones.

Sitting at the main seat, Li Huowang was not paying attention to these things. He was listening to Chun Xiaoman telling the story of the whole incident.

"Next time, ask me first before taking action, and don't involve Bai Lingmiao," Li Huowang said.

If this kind of thing wasn't handled properly, it would be a big trouble.

Chun Xiaoman paused for a moment, seeming to want to argue, but ultimately said nothing and nodded. "Yes, Senior Li."

Seeing Zhao Qin and his disciples, who had changed into formal attire, coming up the wooden stairs, Li Huowang sat up straight again.

Zhao Qin poured a full cup of wine for Li Huowang without saying anything, and then offered him three more cups.

"Zhao Escort, you're too polite. It's just that I couldn't stand by and do nothing about Lingmiao's situation. Please, everyone, have a seat," Li Huowang said.

Li Huowang picked up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks and saw that the accompanying escorts were also using their chopsticks, so he put it into his mouth and gave the others a signal.

The others, who had been waiting impatiently, picked up their chopsticks and started eating. While the escorts were stunned by their behavior, the food on the table visibly decreased in speed.

After taking a bite of a big chicken leg, Li Huowang threw it under the table.

"Benefactor, I owe you a great debt of gratitude! You saved my wife, which is the same as saving me! Tomorrow, I will send a generous gift to your home. Please don't refuse!" Zhao Qin said, his nose turning red from the wine.

"And if you have any difficulties in the future, the Longteng Escort Agency will definitely lend a hand!" he added.

Just as he was about to pour himself a fourth cup of wine, Li Huowang stopped him with his chopsticks. "Zhao Escort, it's not a good idea to drink too much. You might say something you regret. Actually, I have a favor to ask you."

"Since you are all in the business of escorting, do you have any suitable sword techniques that are better than others?"

This was not only for Chun Xiaoman, but also for himself.

He had just received a good sword from his master, but without a matching sword technique, it would be useless. He couldn't just wave it around like a fire stick and stab randomly, could he?

Since the other party had opened the door, there was no reason for him not to mention it.
