“`

This was not because Lu Chennong was unwilling to trust Xu Fan, but because they had experienced too many disappointments over the years and found it very difficult to feel confident.

“Ah, let’s not bother with it. The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment,”

At that moment, Lu Chennong looked at Xu Fan and gently withdrew his hand; however, Xu Fan glanced at Lu Chennong and spoke with a smile:

“Right now, do you often wake up from sleep in shock at around three in the morning, and also feel a faint feeling of distension in your lower abdomen?”

What?

Upon hearing Xu Fan’s words, Lu Chennong’s eyes immediately widened in shock. He certainly hadn’t told Xu Fan about this, so how could Xu Fan have known?

Was it simply from feeling his pulse just now?

Lu Chennong was truly astonished this time, as he looked at Xu Fan with excitement and said:

“Do you really have a way?”

“I can’t make promises yet, I need to examine your wife first,”

Xu Fan said this with a smile, while Lu Chennong was overwhelmed with excitement, quickly running over to share the news with Zhang Lijuan.

Xu Fan also walked straight over, and then gently said to Tongtong:

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Tongtong, are you having fun? Why don’t you rest for a bit? Auntie seems sick, and Daddy is going to help Auntie check her illness, alright?”

When Tongtong heard this, she widened her eyes and said with deep concern to Zhang Lijuan:

“Oh no, Auntie, you’re sick. You should go rest right away. I won’t play anymore. Let’s go, let’s go drink some water!”

Seeing Tongtong’s reaction, Zhang Lijuan was moved and said to Xu Fan:

“Mr. Xu, your daughter is really well-behaved; I’m incredibly envious. Her mother must have put a lot of effort into raising her like this, right?”

Hearing this, Tongtong chimed in:

“Of course, my mom is the best mom in the world and, of course, Tongtong is the best Tongtong in the world!”

Xu Fan and Lu Chennong’s wife laughed out loud at this, and then they went to a coffee shop where Xu Fan began to take Lu Chennong and his wife’s pulses seriously.

After taking both their pulses, Lu Chennong nervously asked:

“Mr. Xu, how are the results? No matter what it takes, as long as you can cure us, we are willing to accept it!”

Although Xu Fan seemed very young, after seeing what Xu Fan had done earlier, Lu Chennong trusted him completely; after all, he was his last hope.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Xu Fan simply smiled slightly and said to Lu Chennong:

“If I’m not mistaken, what you have is not an illness but poison.”

What?

On hearing this, Lu Chennong’s eyes widened in shock, and Zhang Lijuan looked at her husband dumbfounded, asking Lu Chennong:

“Honey, is what he’s saying true?”

Lu Chennong’s demeanor suddenly changed, and his entire body emitted a scorching aura! He didn’t answer Zhang Lijuan’s question but rather turned, with a ghastly pale face, to Xu Fan and asked:

“Mr. Xu, may I know what poison I have been afflicted with?”

“`

As Xu Fan looked at Lu Chennong, a slight furrow formed between his brows. He had long since realized that the identities of these two people were not ordinary, but now, seeing Lu Chennong’s demeanor, he felt he might have underestimated their status. However, this had nothing to do with him, so Xu Fan’s face still retained its usual indifference as he said:

“The poison you’re suffering from is called Shiguyin. This toxin is extremely rare, and it’s insidiously damaging as it silently strips away the yang essence from a man’s body. The symptoms are characterized by sharp abdominal pain occurring precisely at three o’clock in the morning, yet without any accompanying diarrhea.”

Hearing Xu Fan’s words, Zhang Lijuan quickly said:

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“You’re right, my husband does suffer from abdominal pain in the middle of the night. I always thought it was stomach pain, but was he actually poisoned?”

Xu Fan shook his head with a smile and replied lightly, “That, you’ll have to ask your husband!”

Zhang Lijuan hurriedly turned to look at Lu Chennong, whose face was extremely pale. It was clear that he understood something, but he didn’t immediately explain anything to Zhang Lijuan. Instead, he asked Xu Fan:

“Since you could diagnose that I’ve been poisoned, Mr. Xu Fan, I wonder if you could also remove this toxin?”

At that moment, Lu Chennong’s gaze was filled with urgency as he looked at Xu Fan because to him Xu Fan was indeed a lifesaver!

Xu Fan did not answer but nodded slightly before saying:

“This toxin is not difficult for me to resolve. You just need to prepare some herbs, and then I can get to work and rid you of this toxin. After the detox, with a period of recuperation, you two will be able to have the fruit of your love!”

Hearing this, Lu Chennong and Zhang Lijuan were suddenly overwhelmed with elation. They had never expected that a simple outing could lead them to such a master!

Lu Chennong was ecstatic. He suddenly embraced his wife and exclaimed excitedly:

“Hahaha, I, Lu Chennong, can finally become a father!”

Zhang Lijuan could not help but shed tears, for, to a woman, the lack of children had always been an excruciating torment, and now, finally, there was hope, so she cried tears of joy.

However, Lu Chennong soon came back to his senses and, suppressing the excitement in his heart, he dared not call Xu Fan ‘Mr.’ anymore but addressed him directly as ‘Master’:

“Master Xu, what herbs will I need? I’ll go prepare them right away!”

“I’ll write you a prescription, but there’s a particular catalyst that’s a bit hard to find. You’ll need a fifty-year-old Jinling Grass. But I believe you’ll be able to acquire it. Once you get these herbs, I can start concocting the Elixir, and then you’ll be able to conceive a child.”

At this, Xu Fan smiled and continued, and hearing that Xu Fan could concoct an Elixir, Lu Chennong’s eyes lit up once more.

He was a man of stature and was somewhat informed about such matters. No wonder Xu Fan had such medical skill at a young age—it turned out he was a highly valued Alchemist!

“Hahaha, I, Lu Chennong, am truly fortunate to have met you, Master Xu. I really don’t know how to thank you!”

Xu Fan just shook his head with a smile and took Tongtong into his arms. He then pointed at the small bear toy Tongtong was holding:

“There’s no need for that. You’ve already given me enough reward. Look, Tongtong is playing quite happily, isn’t she?”

Hearing this, Lu Chennong’s eyes widened, surprised. Was Xu Fan’s reward really just this teddy bear that cost less than twenty dollars?

Seeing Xu Fan’s demeanor, Lu Chennong realized that Xu Fan was serious and laughed heartily again:

“Tongtong, oh Tongtong, you really are my lucky star!”

“Huh? What?”

At that moment, Tongtong, who was playing with her teddy bear, heard this and turned her head, asking in puzzlement.

Seeing Tongtong’s reaction, the three of them laughed heartily again!

Only Tongtong was filled with confusion. What were these adults laughing about?
