Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 782 - 785: Gu!

The elderly man from the Divine Healer Pavilion stared at Liu Ergou with a puzzled expression, awaiting his answer.

Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Liu Ergou said, "Regarding Uncle Zhang's condition... it's not an illness. Can you all understand what I'm saying?"

His claim that it wasn't an illness left everyone even more confused. If it wasn't an illness, then what was it? Some kind of madness causing random spasms? The explanation seemed to be growing more preposterous by the second.

Just as Liu Ergou was about to explain in detail, the elder's apprentice, who had only just managed to calm down, suddenly burst out again.

"Heh, still playing at being mysterious, are we? So it's not an illness again!" he sneered. "Then what do you claim it is? Was he poisoned? Or possessed by a ghost? How about this? Why don't you organize an exorcism? What do you say?"

Liu Ergou, however, couldn't be bothered with him. He simply turned to Zhang Yuan and asked, "Before I explain this condition, Uncle Zhang, I need to ask you: have you offended someone recently?"

Liu Ergou's question left Zhang Yuan stunned and at a loss for words.

"Ah? Offended someone? What do you mean? I don't quite understand what you're talking about!"

Liu Ergou did not answer, but simply repeated himself. "It means exactly what it sounds like. Have you offended anyone? For instance, has anyone told you that you wouldn't live well in the future, or something along those lines?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan sank into deep thought, while the rival elder's apprentice began to heckle.

"Hahaha, look at this! This is your so-called Divine Doctor! I never expected a divine doctor to act like this! If someone like him can be called a Divine Doctor, then shouldn't my master be called an immortal?"

After speaking, the apprentice shot a provocative glance at the elderly man from the Divine Healer Pavilion.

However, the man from the Divine Healer Pavilion didn't even deign to look at him, stating coldly, "You over there, you're getting old. You should retire and get some rest. As for your medical skills, there's no need to pass them down. It would only be an embarrassment. Look at the successor you've chosen—all he can do is mock and ridicule, unable to even speak like a decent human being!"

At the scathing words from the Divine Healer Pavilion's elder, the other old doctor collapsed to the ground with a thud, wanting to say something. However, his apprentice cut in first, "You're really getting into your act, aren't you? You're quite something else. You say whatever you please and expect people to believe it? What a joke! I…"

Before the apprentice could finish, his master could no longer hold back. He turned and roared, "Shut your mouth! If you dare say one more word, get out of here immediately!"

Hearing the fury in his master's tone, the apprentice reluctantly closed his mouth, though he still wanted to say more. His face, however, held a mocking expression. It was clear he was waiting for Liu Ergou to make a fool of himself. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Just then, Zhang Yuan, who had been lost in thought, spoke up. "Er Gou, now that you mention it, you've reminded me of something. As you know, I'm in the real estate business. I have many empty buildings, and about a month ago, I rented one out. When I went to collect the rent, the tenants were unwilling to pay."

"We argued a bit, but they gave me the money in the end. However, as the man was leaving, he told me I wouldn't live much longer and that I would die in agony! Thinking about it carefully, it was right after I collected the rent from that place that I started to become like this!"

Having said his piece, Zhang Yuan asked nervously, "Er Gou, just tell me straight. Can you cure my condition or not? Stop keeping me in suspense! All your questions are really scaring me!"

Looking at the nervous Zhang Yuan, Liu Ergou laughed. "Uncle Zhang, rest assured. If I couldn't cure you, I wouldn't have asked so many questions. I would have just left without a word. But when treating an ailment, you have to address both the symptoms and the root cause, right? If I only treat the symptoms, what about the cause? That's why I had to get a clear picture of the situation!"

At these words, Zhang Yuan grew visibly excited. His condition could actually be cured! This was absolutely incredible news.

With this thought, Zhang Yuan immediately declared, "Er Gou, as long as you can cure me, I'm willing to give you half the shares in my company. We'll be equals!"

Hearing such an offer, everyone present looked at Liu Ergou with undisguised envy. Shares in Zhang Yuan's company? Their value was immeasurable. After all, Zhang Yuan didn't just invest in real estate in this city; he owned properties in other cities as well. Real estate had always been the most profitable industry, and if Liu Ergou got half the shares, his annual dividends would be in the hundreds of millions! It was a truly enviable prospect.

However, Liu Ergou just waved his hand calmly. "Forget it. I'm not that interested in money. I only came today out of respect for Uncle Fu, since you're his good friend. I won't say any more. If you really want to give something, just give me a hundred or two as a token gesture."

After this statement, everyone looked at Liu Ergou as if he were a complete fool. But Liu Ergou didn't seem to care in the slightest.

"Alright, enough nonsense. Let's be direct. Uncle Zhang, this is the work of a Gu from the Miao region. It's just a low-level one, though. It's quite simple for me to break. If it were a more powerful Gu, there'd be no hope. It would be better to just make it quick."

Liu Ergou's mention of "Gu" drew shocked expressions from everyone present. Wasn't that sort of thing just the stuff of legends? How could it be real?

It was Fu Ya, sitting on the sofa, who finally reacted, his gaze turning sharp.

Gu! If this matter involved a Gu, then the situation was extremely serious!

With that in mind, Fu Ya made a mental note to ask Liu Ergou what was really going on when he got the chance.

After finishing his explanation, Liu Ergou turned to Zhang Yuan. "Uncle Zhang, I need you to prepare a brazier with a strong fire. Then, get me a small, pure silver knife. You must prepare these two items. If they aren't ready, I can't save you!"

The moment Liu Ergou finished speaking, Zhang Yuan immediately ordered his housekeeper to make the preparations. In just over ten minutes, the two items Liu Ergou required were ready.

Looking at the blazing brazier, Liu Ergou nodded in satisfaction. He turned back to Zhang Yuan and said, "It's time, Uncle Zhang. I'm going to begin the treatment. The process will be painful, so you must endure it and not move. If you move, all our efforts could be for nothing!"

Then, Liu Ergou turned to face the onlookers. "And you all, sit there quietly and don't wander about. Of course, if you want to leave now, that's fine too. I won't stop you.

"But if anyone causes trouble later, I won't be so polite!"
