Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Yin Disease

Zhu Kangshi’s words were clearly full of disdain for Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan didn’t bother arguing with him, simply saying, "I’m indeed no famous medical sage, but I do know that your needle will definitely cause a grave mistake!"

Zhu Kangshi flew into a rage, "Young man, what nonsense are you spouting! If you don’t understand, then don’t speak recklessly!"

However, He Yuwan was listening, "Doctor Chen, are you serious? Could such treatment truly lead to trouble?"

Chen Xuan nodded, "If I’m not mistaken, this doctor must believe that Young Master Lei Dong is certainly suffering from convulsions, right?"

He Yuwan was taken aback, "Is that not the case?"

Chen Xuan shook his head, "Of course not! Although the condition of Young Master Lei Dong bears many similarities to convulsions, there is a fundamental difference."

"To be precise, Young Master Lei Dong’s illness cannot be classified under any modern medical condition, but is instead a ’shadow illness’!"

"A ’shadow illness’?!" He Yuwan was astonished, and even Lei Tianzong frowned.

Lei Tianzong, as the Liangjiang Marquis, naturally had more experience, and he had heard something about shadow illnesses.

To put it simply, all ailments related to evil spirits could be collectively referred to as shadow illnesses.

However, these things had always been merely rumors, and nobody had truly seen them.

Zhu Kangshi was sneering incessantly, "Stop acting superstitious! So-called shadow illnesses are nothing but the figments of ignorant people’s imaginations!"

"As a physician, if you can’t cure an illness and then attribute it to a shadow illness, that’s simply incompetence!"

Chen Xuan huffed lightly, "The fact that you haven’t seen an illness doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist! You think I’m incompetent, but I think it’s your ignorance that breeds fearlessness!"

Zhu Kangshi burst into fury instantly, "What are you, anyway? A mere ordinary doctor daring to speak to me in such a tone!"

"Do you have any idea, even if your hospital director saw me, he would have to be very respectful!"

Zhu Kangshi was right in saying so, for as a medical authority in Liangjiang, every hospital would treat him with the utmost courtesy and regard him as an honored guest.

Now, being so openly challenged by Chen Xuan, it was naturally very irritating for him.

Chen Xuan remained unconcerned, "What I’m saying is the truth. For a doctor, it is most important to know one’s own limitations, and the worst thing to do is to rush into things blindly!"

"You aren’t even sure what affliction the Young Master is suffering from and just because the symptoms seem seventy percent similar, you rashly want to administer the needle. You’re not treating him, you’re harming him!"

Chen Xuan’s gaze was sharp, and he immediately saw through Zhu Kangshi’s obvious desire to make a name for himself in front of Lei Tianzong by taking a huge risk in administering the treatment.

With his motives laid bare, Zhu Kangshi became both angry and embarrassed, "Who are you calling harmful? A little doctor dares to be so arrogant, it’s simply preposterous!"

Lei Tianzong quickly intervened, "Enough, now is not the time for both of you to argue. My son is in a critical condition, how should we treat him? Please discuss at once and decide on a solution."

Zhu Kangshi reluctantly suppressed his anger, "Marquis, Young Master Lei Dong is merely suffering from convulsions. Rest assured and leave this matter to me; I will surely cure the Young Master!"

Chen Xuan’s expression was grim, "Absolutely not! If he is treated for convulsions, Young Master Lei Dong’s condition will only worsen!"

Zhu Kangshi waved his hand dismissively, "Stop your alarmist talk! Only an incompetent doctor like you would be so cautious and fearful!"

Chen Xuan and Zhu Kangshi continued to exchange heated words, and it seemed they were on the verge of breaking into a full-blown argument.

Both seemed to have their own valid points, leaving He Yuwan unsure of whom to listen to, while Young Master Lei Dong’s condition was becoming even more critical, with several medical staff even struggling to restrain him.

Finally, Lei Tianzong made an executive decision, "Enough, let’s proceed with Divine Doctor Zhu’s method first!"

Hearing Lei Tianzong’s decision, Chen Xuan felt a wave of disappointment.

But on second thought, it made sense. Zhu Kangshi was a leading figure in Liangjiang’s medical field, ranked among the four Divine Doctors, while Chen Xuan at that time was just an unknown doctor in a hospital.

From Lei Tianzong’s perspective, his choice was actually quite normal.

"Doctor Chen, I’m really sorry..." He Yuwan apologized with a look of regret to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan felt complicated emotions but said nothing more.

At this moment, Zhu Kangshi was full of smug satisfaction, "Lady He, there’s no need to be embarrassed. I will prove that the incompetent should not be relied upon!"

Having said that, Zhu Kangshi directly applied the needles.

The Silver Needle went straight into Lei Dong’s Yintang acupoint, followed by Quan, Shaoshang...

As these Silver Needles were inserted, something miraculous occurred.

The previously violently struggling Lei Dong actually quieted down!

Seeing this, both Lei Tianzong and He Yuwan showed surprised delight.

A victorious smile appeared on Zhu Kangshi’s lips.

He looked at Chen Xuan with pride, "How about that, kid, do you still dare to say I can’t cure him? Hahaha..."

Zhu Kangshi burst into loud laughter, but before he could let out a second chuckle, an astonishing scene unfolded.

Lei Dong, lying on the sickbed, suddenly floated up into the air!

His head and feet dangled downwards while his abdomen arched up, his whole body resembling a bow drawn upwards!

"What... what’s going on?!" Lei Tianzong was stunned.

"This... this shouldn’t be happening, how... how can this be?" Zhu Kangshi, who had never seen such a bizarre scene before, was severely frightened.

Chen Xuan, however, had a solemn expression and spoke in a low voice, "The soul of Young Master Lei has been stolen!"

Ordinary people couldn’t see it, but Chen Xuan saw it clearly, just now he distinctly observed a black shadow being dragged out of Young Master Lei’s body by an unknown force.

This was clearly one of the Yin diseases mentioned in ancient medicine, known as Soul Stealing Syndrome!

"What? Soul? Stolen?" Lei Tianzong and He Yuwan were clueless.

"What time is it, and you’re still spouting nonsense about superstitions! Where is this soul from?!" Zhu Kangshi cursed angrily.

He had never heard of such things, so naturally, he didn’t believe them.

However, just as Zhu Kangshi finished speaking, an even more bizarre scene occurred.

Lei Dong’s small body, only a foot in length, suddenly sprang up like an agile wildcat.

He first kicked Zhu Kangshi away, then, he directly lunged towards Lei Tianzong!

"Oh my goodness!" Zhu Kangshi fell on his butt in a state of shock and fear.

Lei Tianzong was also shocked by this abrupt development.

A son of less than a month old, actually trying to kill him?

Is there anything weirder than this in the world?!

"Marquis, be careful!" Ge Shan tried to intervene immediately.

Yet the energy that burst forth from Lei Dong’s slender body was incredibly astonishing; with a single slap, he sent Ge Shan flying.

Afterward, he pointed a finger and aimed straight for Lei Tianzong’s face!

Lei Tianzong was stunned for a moment, his eyes reflecting the increasingly closer fingertip, as well as the strange and eerie smile on his son Lei Dong’s lips...
