The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Divine Doctor Xue

Provincial City. The Gu Family.

Upon learning what had happened to Gu Chen, Elder Gu, Gu Tiannan, was utterly enraged. He immediately arranged for a helicopter to transport Gu Chen and the bodies of his bodyguards back home.

In Gu Tiannan’s bedroom, Gu Chen’s eyes were shut tight, his breathing shallow and weak. He looked as if he could breathe his last at any moment.

An old man was seated on the edge of the large bed.

The old man wore a green gown. One of his hands rested on Gu Chen’s wrist, checking his pulse, while the other gently stroked a long beard.

This was Divine Doctor Xue, a Divine Doctor of great renown in Jiangbei.

Gu Tiannan and Gu Chen’s parents waited nearby, their faces tense with anxiety.

After a long moment, Divine Doctor Xue withdrew his hand. Gu Tiannan asked in a whisper, ”Divine Doctor Xue, can Ah Chen be saved?”

Divine Doctor Xue’s expression was incredibly grave. ”Old Gu, tell me the truth. Have you offended someone?”

Gu Tiannan was taken aback. ”What do you mean?”

Divine Doctor Xue glanced at Gu Chen’s parents.

Gu Tiannan understood his meaning and said gently, ”Feiyun, Qiuyu, the two of you, please leave.”

”Yes.”

Gu Feiyun and Yang Qiuyu withdrew.

Divine Doctor Xue extended his senses, and only after confirming they were alone did he lower his voice. ”Ah Chen has an incredibly dense Yin Sha Qi in his body. It’s entrenched in his Sea of Consciousness. Have you ever offended anyone from the Ghost Doctor Sect or Miaojiang?”

Yin Sha Qi?

Gu Tiannan’s expression changed dramatically. ”I’ve never met anyone from the Ghost Doctor Sect or Miaojiang! Divine Doctor Xue, please, you must save Ah Chen.”

Divine Doctor Xue looked conflicted. ”Old Gu, you should know this better than anyone. People who walk these unorthodox paths are utterly unscrupulous. I am truly unwilling to make an enemy of them unless there is no other choice.”

Gu Tiannan gritted his teeth. ”Divine Doctor Xue, do you remember that Stone Needle of mine? If you can cure Ah Chen, the Stone Needle is yours!”

Divine Doctor Xue was ecstatic. He had been coveting Gu Tiannan’s Stone Needle for many years!

In Divine Doctor Xue’s judgment, that Stone Needle was likely the legendary Xuanyuan Needle! A treasure ranked among the top ten in the myths and legends of the Dragon Country!

”Excellent! You’re a straightforward man, Old Gu! Even if it costs me my life, I must cure Ah Chen!”

”I’m counting on you.”

Divine Doctor Xue said in a serious tone, ”Then I must ask you to bring out the Stone Needle, Old Gu. Using it will increase our chances of expelling the evil presence by at least thirty percent!”

Gu Tiannan’s pupils constricted slightly. ’This Divine Doctor Xue... He won’t release the hawk until he sees the rabbit.’

”Very well. I will go and fetch the Stone Needle!”

Soon, the Stone Needle was brought over.

Gu Tiannan carefully cradled an incredibly exquisite Jade Box and placed it before Divine Doctor Xue.

Divine Doctor Xue slowly opened the Jade Box. Inside lay a plain, unremarkable Stone Needle. And yet, Divine Doctor Xue trembled with excitement!

From within the Stone Needle, Divine Doctor Xue could sense a very faint aura. It was an aura that was both righteous and tranquil, yet filled with an incomparable majesty!

Divine Doctor Xue bowed reverently to the Stone Needle before taking it in both hands.

At this moment, Divine Doctor Xue looked as though he were having an audience with an Ancient Great Power, his expression becoming incomparably sacred.

”Heavens above! In the name of Patriarch Xuanyuan, this disciple borrows the power of Creation from the firmament to expel this vile presence!”

As Divine Doctor Xue chanted, he slowly raised the Stone Needle. An incredibly profound and mysterious sensation arose. It was as if an unseen energy was pouring down from the highest heavens, bathing the Stone Needle in its light!

Although the Stone Needle still looked as plain as ever, it filled Divine Doctor Xue with an urge to fall to his knees in worship!

Watching from the side, Gu Tiannan felt a pang of regret. ’So the old fox really did know the Stone Needle’s origins. He was just being evasive when I asked him last time.’

’But what’s given is given, like water that’s been splashed out. The treasure was no longer his to keep.’

PFFT!

Divine Doctor Xue plunged the Xuanyuan Needle into the Baihui Acupoint on the crown of Gu Chen’s head!

Waves of incredibly dense Power of Creation flooded into Gu Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, heading straight for Jin Pengfei, who was rampaging within!

The Power of Creation was exceptionally pure—the bane of all evil things!

Scorched by the Power of Creation, Jin Pengfei let out a bloodcurdling shriek and fled in a mad panic within the Sea of Consciousness!

「Meanwhile.」

Cheng Yuan was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt a throbbing pain between his eyebrows.

Cheng Yuan let out a muffled groan and his eyes snapped open. He instinctively clutched his forehead!

In just an instant, Cheng Yuan understood the situation!

’Someone was attacking his Witch Spirit!’

A wisp of his Spiritual Power was linked to the Witch Spirit, so he was feeling the backlash, hence the headache.

Cheng Yuan activated his Spiritual Power to its fullest. In an instant, he seized control of the Witch Spirit. Through its eyes, he saw Divine Doctor Xue and Gu Tiannan!

’So it’s this old codger, interfering and trying to save Gu Chen!’

’If Gu Chen wakes up, he’ll be in danger!’

’I absolutely cannot let Gu Chen wake up!’

Gritting his teeth against the searing pain transmitted from the Witch Spirit, Cheng Yuan controlled it, forcing it out of the Sea of Consciousness. Baring fangs and claws, it lunged at Divine Doctor Xue!

Divine Doctor Xue never expected Cheng Yuan to pull a move like this. He was completely startled and threw all his effort into defending himself!

Fortunately, the Power of Creation was too formidable. The Witch Spirit was already severely wounded, and Divine Doctor Xue’s own Spiritual Power was relatively strong, so the Witch Spirit failed to break into his Sea of Consciousness!

Even so, Divine Doctor Xue’s Sea of Consciousness was violently shaken. His mind felt like a chaotic mess, a loud buzzing filled his head, and his consciousness was nearly thrown into disarray!

With a surge of ruthless resolve, Divine Doctor Xue yanked out the Stone Needle and stabbed it forcefully toward his own forehead!

SQUELCH!

Fresh blood splattered from Divine Doctor Xue’s forehead. The Witch Spirit, pierced dead-center by the Stone Needle, dissolved into an aura of pure yin and evil, then gradually dissipated!

This time, even Gu Tiannan could feel the Witch Spirit’s presence, and goosebumps erupted all over his skin!

”Divine Doctor Xue, are you all right?”

Divine Doctor Xue fought back the pain in his forehead, panting heavily. Battling the Witch Spirit had consumed too much of his Spiritual Power; he was almost completely spent.

”The evil presence is vanquished.”

”You truly live up to your title as the number one Divine Doctor in Jiangbei, Divine Doctor Xue! Your methods are extraordinary! To think you can even subdue an evil presence! I wonder, can you deduce the attacker’s origins from it?”

”I can’t be certain for now. It didn’t seem like someone from the Ghost Doctor Sect or Miaojiang.”

As the two were speaking, Gu Chen slowly began to stir. He gradually opened his eyes, his entire body aching. He couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.

”Ah Chen, you’re awake?”

Only then did Gu Chen realize he was in his grandfather’s bedroom. Seeing Gu Tiannan, he was suddenly overcome with a sense of grievance.

”Grandpa, some ex-convict bullied me! You have to help me get even!”

”Who is it? Where are they?”

”He’s in Luocheng. His name is Cheng Yuan. He knew damn well that I like Ruoxi, but he still dared to go and register their marriage. I went to see him in person, and not only did he refuse to show me any respect, he forced me to kneel before him! He completely disgraced the Gu Family!”

”I’ll arrange for my men to bring Cheng Yuan here at once!”

Luocheng?

Divine Doctor Xue’s expression changed.

”Old Gu, you absolutely must not try to retaliate! That evil presence came from the southeast. Based on the distance, that would put its origin in Luocheng! A being who can control such an entity must possess power at least ten times greater than the entity itself! And on top of that, they’re surely backed by an incredibly terrifying power.”
