However, Qin Xiaoya was worried that things would not be so simple. The young master had just mentioned that this Master Hong could save Yang Yuxin, but it was only superficial; thus, Yang Yuxin was certainly still in danger.
Outside Yang Yuxin's room on the second floor stood three monks, all around fifty years old. These monks were High Monks from a temple in the capital, and they had been invited by Yang Yuxin's mother, who was a devout Buddhist. Master Hong, on the other hand, was a Feng Shui Master from Hong Kong Island, hired at great expense by Yang Yuxin's father.
Although Feng Shui and Buddhism were not of the same school, today they had joined forces. If it weren't for these three masters using calming spells at the bedroom door to suppress the evil presence, it remained questionable whether Master Hong could eliminate it.
"Thank you for your efforts, masters," Master Hong said politely.
"Your expertise in Feng Shui and formations truly earns our respect," the three High Monks replied with a bow.
The bedroom door opened, revealing Yang Yuxin lying on a princess bed. She had already opened her eyes and appeared to be in much better spirits.
"Yang Yuxin, Yang Yuxin, are you feeling any better?" Yang Yuxin's mother hurriedly approached, tears streaming down her face. Seeing her daughter suffer so much pained her heart deeply.
"Mom, I'm feeling much better," Yang Yuxin said with difficulty.
"Yang Yuxin," Qin Xiaoya stepped forward and called out excitedly.
"Qin Xiaoya, you're here too. Do I look ugly right now?" Seeing her childhood friend arrive, Yang Yuxin managed to force a smile despite her weakness.
"You're not ugly; don't think about anything else right now. The most important thing is to get your health back," Qin Xiaoya replied with a smile. From this perspective, it seemed that Yang Yuxin was indeed getting better and might really be okay.
Everyone believed that Yang Yuxin was out of danger. Yang Yuxin's father repeatedly thanked Master Hong and even offered to double his payment. Master Hong declined a couple of times but eventually agreed; who would refuse more money?
"Let's all go to the living room for a while. Let my wife help our daughter get ready; that girl loves to look beautiful," Yang Yuxin's father said with a smile. With so many people standing in the bedroom, it felt inappropriate to see his daughter in such a sickly state.
"President Yang, your daughter just needs to rest and recuperate. In about a month, she should be back to normal. Let's step outside so she can have some peace," Master Hong suggested.
One by one, everyone exited Yang Yuxin's room until only Yang Yuxin's mother, Qin Xiaoya, and Jiang Chen remained inside.
Qin Xiaoya stayed in the bedroom without anyone saying anything against it, but Jiang Chen's presence there raised eyebrows.
"Young man, why don't you go have some tea in the living room?" Yang Yuxin's father chuckled when he noticed Jiang Chen hadn’t left.
"Your daughter is still not out of danger; if you want tea, you'll have to wait," Jiang Chen replied calmly.
At these words, Master Hong, who had already reached the staircase, turned around and walked back. Until now, no one had noticed Jiang Chen’s presence; now that he spoke up, he became the center of attention.
Everyone’s expressions shifted from relaxed and cheerful to serious and tense.
"Young man, what do you mean by that?" Yang Yuxin's father asked with a heavy expression; he did not appreciate such jokes.
"This Master Hong may have some Daoist techniques under his belt, but unfortunately, he is still insufficient to save your daughter. The evil presence within her has not been eliminated; it has merely gone into hiding for the time being," Jiang Chen stated.
Concerned for his daughter's safety, Yang Yuxin's Father instinctively glanced at Master Hong, whose expression was far from pleasant.
It was humiliating for Master Hong to have a young man question his expertise. He had confidently claimed to have cleared the malevolent energy from Yang Yuxin's body, yet this young man insisted otherwise, leaving him feeling embarrassed.
"You may think you know better, but I am the one who understands whether the malevolent energy has been removed," Master Hong said with irritation, his sharp gaze warning Jiang Chen to back off.
"You don't understand," Jiang Chen replied calmly.
"How can you say that? I'm curious how you know that Miss Yang's malevolent energy hasn't been cleared," Master Hong pressed, trying to maintain his composure. After all, he was a Feng Shui Master and a Daoist Sect practitioner; it was beneath him to argue with a young man.
"I can see it," Jiang Chen stated simply.
"Ha! You can see it? Everyone here can see that Miss Yang is looking much better. Are you claiming to have special insight? Enough of your jokes, young man. It's not funny, and we won't hold it against you. Just step out of Miss Yang's bedroom," Master Hong said impatiently.
"Master Hong, could you please check my daughter again?" Yang Yuxin's Father asked, feeling uneasy after Jiang Chen's remarks. He wanted Master Hong to confirm everything once more for reassurance.
"There’s no need for another check. If I say she's fine, then she's fine. President Yang, you don't actually believe this young man over me, do you?" Master Hong frowned.
"No, no! Master Hong, please don’t misunderstand. I just want to be cautious," Yang Yuxin's Father quickly clarified, trying to maintain peace while signaling Jiang Chen to step aside. He didn’t want to offend Master Hong; if not for Jiang Chen being with Qin Xiaoya, the Yang Family would not have been so accommodating.
"Uncle Yang, since he says the evil presence in Yang Yuxin hasn't been completely cleared, then it surely hasn't been. I brought him here today specifically to help save Yang Yuxin," Qin Xiaoya suddenly stepped forward and stated seriously.
"Qin Xiaoya, who is this young man to you? Why do you call him 'young master'? What do you mean?" Yang Yuxin's Father asked in confusion.
"Uncle Yang, there's no need to question my relationship with him right now. The urgent matter is saving Yang Yuxin," Qin Xiaoya replied.
"Can this young man really save Yang Yuxin? Qin Xiaoya, are you joking with your uncle?" Yang Yuxin's Father found it hard to believe. However, knowing Qin Xiaoya well enough—she was not someone who would make light of such matters—he realized that if she had specifically invited this young man, he must possess some skills.
"Uncle Yang, you've watched me grow up; don't you know me? I would never joke about Yang Yuxin's life," Qin Xiaoya insisted.
Yang Yuxin's Father fell silent at that point.
"Young master, please help Yang Yuxin. I can't bear to see her suffering like this," Qin Xiaoya pleaded as she looked at Jiang Chen earnestly.
"Since I'm here, I will certainly help her. Don't worry; by tonight you'll be able to take her out shopping in Sanlitun," Jiang Chen smiled reassuringly. Having seen how well Qin Xiaoya had served him over the years, he would not ignore her request.
