Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Utter Contempt

"Please have me leave?" Ye Fan was taken aback.

Chen Lin frowned and turned to Lu Jing, "Mom, didn't I tell you I went to invite Master Ye? Why did you also invite Divine Doctor Tang?"

"Isn't this because I'm worried about your father's condition? Besides, Divine Doctor Tang is highly skilled in medicine, which is surely better than bringing in this young lad, right?" Lu Jing said anxiously.

She had heard about Ye Fan from Chen Lin and knew that Ye Fan was in his twenties.

Although her daughter Chen Lin had told her before leaving home that Master Ye alone was sufficient, she couldn't help but worry and went as far as to pay a hefty sum to invite the top divine doctor in Central Plains, Tang Renjie.

Hearing this, Chen Lin said irritably, "Mom, you're really just grasping at straws. I've already said that Dad isn't sick; it's 'malevolent spirits possessing his body'!"

"Nonsense, what 'malevolent spirits possessing his body'? I think you've been deceived by him!" Lu Jing stubbornly said.

Chen Lin sighed, "Mom, didn't you notice that Haonan looked much better today? It's all thanks to Master Ye!"

"Yes, Mom, my sister is right, Master Ye coming alone is enough!" Chen Haonan also said.

Last night, he had personally witnessed Ye Fan taking action. From the longevity lock, a wail like that of a fierce ghost emerged, followed by a stream of black mist, and he instantly felt much better.

Lu Jing didn't believe it at all, "You youngsters are just too gullible. Is there even such thing as 'malevolent spirits'? Alright, hurry up and let this young man out, Divine Doctor Tang is about to make his move!"

"Mom!" Chen Lin became anxious.

Lu Jing huffed, "Let me tell you, I had to invite Divine Doctor Tang many times before he agreed to come. Don't you cause trouble at this critical moment!"

"Junior, get out quickly!" Tang Renjie said with dissatisfaction.

He was a renowned divine doctor with an old-established reputation in Central Plains, and if he claimed he was second in medical expertise, probably no one would dare claim to be first.

Over the years, the number of patients he treated were countless. The Chen Family had invited him before, but he was too busy to come.

It was only after the Head of the Chen Family fell seriously ill and Lu Jing spent 30 million to ask for his help that Tang Renjie set aside his work and rushed over.

Unexpectedly, before he could start his treatment, this Ye Fan appeared.

Professionals are often rivals, and the field of medicine is no exception.

Especially since Tang Renjie was held in high esteem in the medical community, how could he tolerate a twenty-something youngster trying to take his place? This infuriated Tang Renjie.

Seeing the old man full of pomp, Ye Fan sneered, "Can't you see that Patriarch Chen isn't sick?"

"Oh? If Patriarch Chen isn't sick, then what is it?" Tang Renjie asked coldly.

Based on Tang Renjie's many years of experience in treating illnesses, it was mostly likely that Patriarch Chen, Chen Qiankun, had eaten something he shouldn't have, leading to toxins accumulating in his body over the years.

He had seen many such cases before, and for him, a cure was not difficult.

Ye Fan said solemnly, "Enchantment, meaning the Head of the Chen Family is possessed by malevolent spirits!"

"Malevolent spirits possessing his body? Complete and utter nonsense!" Tang Renjie scolded angrily.

Unruffled, Ye Fan continued, "You might not know about the Chen Family's longevity lock, right? It was meticulously crafted by an artisan for the Third Prince, Zhu Youji, on the order of Emperor Zhu Changluo of the Mingguangzong Dynasty!"

"According to historical records, both father and son died violently, and after their death, their tomb was raided by grave robbers, leaving their bones discarded in the wilderness. Bearing immense grievances, they turned into malevolent spirits and hid within the longevity lock!"

"The Chen Family, for three generations in succession, wore the longevity lock. The elderly grandfather passed away first, followed by the illness of the Head of the Chen Family, and then the Young Master of the Chen Family, Chen Haonan, encountered me. I discovered it, which was how he narrowly escaped disaster!"

"Even if your medical skills are excellent, you can't eradicate malevolent spirits! Step aside, and let me do it!"

Seeing Ye Fan's earnest demeanor, which did not seem like a lie, Tang Renjie was stunned.

"Nonsense, how could there possibly be evil spirits in this world? You've been watching too many ghost movies, haven't you? Do you even believe in that feudal superstition?"

Suddenly, a young girl standing next to Tang Renjie stared at Ye Fan's naive face, full of disdain.

Upon looking, Ye Fan saw that the girl was wearing a white Pikachu T-shirt with a pair of slim jeans, her black hair flowing naturally, making her skin even more lustrous.

Her eyes were big, lashes long, endowing her with a spirited look. Her neck was as graceful as a swan's, her tiny waist couldn't be grasped fully with one hand, and her legs were long and straight. She had a perfect, slender figure, extremely beautiful.

The girl looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, but her spirit-filled eyes looked at Ye Fan with contempt, as if Ye Fan were a big fraud.

"Feudal superstition?" Ye Fan said with a smile as he shook his head.

The girl's name was Tang Duoduo, Tang Renjie's granddaughter. She had followed Tang Renjie in studying medicine since she was young and had never heard of evil spirits.

With her hands on her hips, Tang Duoduo puffed up angrily at Tang Renjie, "Grandfather, in my opinion, this guy is nothing but a scam artist from Jianghu. I can't believe he dared to come to the Chen Family to swindle. We should kick him out quickly and focus on treating the head of the Chen Family!"

"Hm!"

Hearing his granddaughter Tang Duoduo's words, Tang Renjie snapped back to reality, his gaze on Ye Fan growing even colder.

Even though Ye Fan spoke with great conviction, Tang Renjie remained skeptical. He had been practicing medicine for decades and had seen all manner of strange diseases, but he had never heard of evil spirits possessing someone's body.

"Madam Lu, we both prefer peace and quiet. Please ask this youngster to leave," Tang Renjie said.

Compared to Ye Fan, Lu Jing trusted Tang Renjie's medical skills much more.

Born in Central Plains City, who hadn't heard of the great name of Tang Renjie? It was said that Tang Renjie had never misdiagnosed a case since he began his practice.

The arrival of Tang Renjie was like a calming tonic to Lu Jing. In her heart, Tang Renjie was the pinnacle of the medical community, a deity-like existence, far beyond Ye Fan's league.

Thus, Lu Jing looked at Ye Fan with disgust and said, "Scammer from Jianghu, didn't you hear Divine Doctor Tang? Still trying to swindle my Chen Family, leave immediately!"

"If you don't leave, be careful—I can make a phone call that will have you spending the rest of your life in prison!"

It was as if not a single word that came out of Ye Fan's mouth was true. Both Chen Lin and her brother Chen Haonan had been deceived by Ye Fan.

"Are you sure you want me to leave? Believe it or not, it won't be long before you are kneeling before me, begging me to return?" Ye Fan scoffed.

"Mom, you really should believe Master Ye. Dad isn't sick, he is possessed by an evil spirit!"

Seeing that her mother Lu Jing wanted to throw Ye Fan out, Chen Lin hurriedly spoke up. seaʀᴄh thё nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Chen Haonan also added, "Mom, are you not aware of Dad's condition? So many renowned doctors and specialists have examined him, but none could diagnose the illness. If it's not possession by an evil spirit, then what is it?"

"Enough!"

Lu Jing became furious, her face darkening as she said, "You two are just too naïve, fooled by others!"

"Mom!" Chen Lin and her brother Chen Haonan both became frantic.

Lu Jing's expression grew colder, "Did you two not hear me when I said enough? If you dare to defend this boy again, you can both get out as well!"

Seeing that their mother Lu Jing completely disbelieved Ye Fan, both Chen Lin and Chen Haonan were anxious but helpless.

"Now, let's see who else you can trick!" Tang Duoduo said with a cold laugh.

Tang Renjie didn't speak, but his cold gaze towards Ye Fan made it clear he considered Ye Fan to be a professional scammer.

After scolding Chen Lin and Chen Haonan, Lu Jing, filled with loathing, pointed toward the entrance of the Chen household and said, "Why are you still standing here? Get out of my Chen Family's premises immediately!"
