"Amitabha, Buddha bless, Buddha bless!"
Yang Ying clasped her hands together and murmured to herself.
"Mom, it was Ancient Sorcerer who saved Zhao Ru, what does Buddha have to do with it?"
Zhao Wei walked up to Ancient Sorcerer and said sincerely, "Thank you, Ancient Sorcerer!"
Zhao Weiru looked at Ancient Sorcerer, still a bit confused about what had just happened after regaining consciousness.
"My dear granddaughter, you fell ill six months ago and no doctor could cure you. Fortunately, you met Mr. Luo, or else..."
As Yang Ying spoke, her eyes turned red again.
"Mom, why bring this up? It's all in the past."
Zhao Wei felt a wave of relief; the past six months of his daughter's illness had been overwhelming, and now he could finally relax.
"Oh, there's no need to be polite."
Zhao Wei shook his head and looked seriously at Ancient Sorcerer. "Mr. Luo, for you, it may have been a simple act, but for our family, it was a life-saving grace. Is there anything I can help you with?"
As the mayor of the city, Zhao Wei held significant power; such a promise could be described as invaluable.
Looking at Zhao Wei, then at Ancient Sorcerer, Feng Leyao couldn't help but feel envious; she knew all too well what a mayor could do.
"Awesome! Truly awesome!"
Luo Tieniu shouted in his heart; this was not something that could be achieved through flattery, but rather through genuine skill.
"Well, I do have something I would like to trouble Mayor Zhao with."
The Ancient Sorcerer saw Jiu Ye nodding at him, understanding that it was a signal for him to go ahead and make his request.
"Sure, go ahead."
"It’s like this: a Rare Earth mine has been discovered in Luo Family Village. The country has its policies, but I believe that since it was found on the land where the people of Luo Family Village have lived for generations, they should receive more."
The news about the Rare Earth discovery in Luo Family Village would soon spread, and many people would come rushing in. These individuals would be powerful, wealthy, and influential, akin to sharks smelling blood, ready to swoop in. Without strong support, the villagers would be left with nothing.
This issue had crossed the Ancient Sorcerer's mind ever since Ono Ken Saburo mentioned the Rare Earth on that land. He knew he had to find a way to address this problem.
Zhao Wei was undoubtedly one of the best choices; once he took an interest in this matter, those people would think twice about how they approached it.
He never expected that the request from the Ancient Sorcerer would be like this. Zhao Wei was taken aback for a moment and instinctively asked, "Is that all? Nothing else?"
"That's it."
The Ancient Sorcerer understood that Zhao Wei thought he would make a personal request, which is why he was so surprised.
Zhao Wei looked deeply at the Ancient Sorcerer, nodded, and said, "Alright, no problem."
"Great!"
Jiu Ye gave a thumbs up to the Ancient Sorcerer and shouted.
Zhao Wei was not an ordinary person; it wasn’t easy to make him owe someone a favor. The Ancient Sorcerer had seized this opportunity but chose to give it up for the sake of Luo Family Village.
Feng Leyao was quite surprised; she really did not expect the Ancient Sorcerer to make such a request.
"I think everything here is settled, so we will leave first."
In fact, before returning this time, the Ancient Sorcerer had thought about doing something for the village. Now that Rare Earth had been issued, this was a golden opportunity. It would be appropriate to use Zhao Wei's favor to do something for the village.
"Wait a moment."
Zhao Weiru, who had been listening to everyone speak from the side, immediately stepped forward upon hearing that the Ancient Sorcerer was about to leave.
"Oh?"
The Ancient Sorcerer was taken aback. Zhao Weiru's Ghostly Energy had been dispelled, and she seemed perfectly normal. What could possibly be wrong?
"My illness has just recovered; could you stay for another day or two to observe?"
Before the Ancient Sorcerer could respond, Yang Ying beside him nodded vigorously and said repeatedly, "Yes, I think it should be done this way."
Zhao Weiru was quite frightened by what had happened this time. The key point was that this was no ordinary illness; only the Ancient Sorcerer could treat it. It was indeed prudent to stay for a few days to observe the situation.
"Well..."
Zhao Wei found himself in a difficult position. He also felt it would be better for the Ancient Sorcerer to stay for two days, but he was hesitant to make such a request.
The Ancient Sorcerer looked at Zhao Weiru and noticed a faint smile on her face, with a mischievous glint in her large eyes. Clearly, using her illness as an excuse to keep him around was just a pretext.
However, this request was straightforward and hard to refuse, especially since Zhao Wei had just agreed to take care of Luo Family Village—this task would not be easy, and Zhao Wei would certainly bear immense pressure because of it.
"Alright, then I will stay."
"Then I will trouble you, Mr. Luo."
Zhao Wei was quite happy to see the Ancient Sorcerer agree to stay; his daughter was incredibly important to him.
Zhao Weiru had returned to normal, and Yang Ying was very pleased. She even disregarded her old age and personally went to the kitchen to prepare a lavish meal.
After eating, Zhao Wei left first. As the mayor, he had too many matters to attend to, and now that his daughter's illness had improved, he had to return.
The Ancient Sorcerer escorted Zhao Wei to the gate.
"I am truly grateful this time! I will take care of the matters in Luo Family Village. When you come to the city in the future, be sure to give me a call!"
Zhao Wei tightly grasped the Ancient Sorcerer's hand and shook it vigorously, as if he were addressing a superior.
"Alright, I will definitely pay a visit when I have the chance."
After Zhao Wei's car drove away, Feng Leyao approached and said, "Ancient Sorcerer, walk with me; I have something to discuss with you."
"Okay."
Yang Ying's house was located in the outskirts, surrounded by lush green fields. The Ancient Sorcerer and Feng Leyao walked slowly along the path between the fields.
Turning her head to look at the Ancient Sorcerer, Feng Leyao felt her heart skip a beat. However, she quickly fell silent. She had originally planned to stay with the Ancient Sorcerer for a few more days but had just received a call from the Newspaper and had to return to the capital.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Noticing Feng Leyao's gaze, the Ancient Sorcerer found it a bit strange.
"Did you learn that?"
Ancient Sorcerer understood that Feng Leyao was talking about her method of treating Zhao Weiru—the entire process was witnessed by everyone, and there was nothing to hide.
"I am a shamanic healer, simply put, someone who uses shamanism to treat illnesses. If you have any patients in the future, remember to refer them to me, and I will give you a referral fee."
"You know shamanism?"
Feng Leyao was quite surprised; she never expected it to be this way. However, upon reflection, it wasn't too strange. The crow, Oil Pot, and finally the Black Snake all hinted at something unusual—how could an ordinary doctor know these things?
"Ancient Sorcerer, I just received a call from the Newspaper, I have to go back."
Feng Leyao sighed inwardly; after reuniting with Ancient Sorcerer, her heart, which had been calm for many years, began to stir again, but she had no choice but to leave. She even felt a bit of fate playing tricks on her.
Ancient Sorcerer paused his steps and stopped; he didn't expect Feng Leyao would have to leave so soon.
"I see... Let's keep in touch in the future."
Feng Leyao fell silent and finally nodded, saying somewhat helplessly, "Yes, let's keep in touch in the future."
A gentle breeze blew by as Ancient Sorcerer and Feng Leyao walked slowly together, both remaining silent as if hoping time would stop.
However, those who must leave will always leave; no matter how much one wishes to stay, they cannot. Ultimately, Feng Leyao still left. Luo Tieniu drove her to the station to catch her ride, while Ancient Sorcerer and Jiu Ye stayed behind; they would wait until Zhao Weiru's condition stabilized completely before leaving.
