Su Ziyang put down the mop and looked back towards the door.

A handsome face appeared before Su Ziyang.

"Doctor Su, you must have a bad memory, don't you remember me?"

The beautiful woman saw Su Ziyang staring blankly at her, then covered her mouth and chuckled.

Su Ziyang scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Han Qianqian, right?"

"It's Qianqian." Han Xixi chuckled and corrected Su Ziyang.

"Oh, I'm sorry!"

Su Ziyang politely apologized. Su Ziyang remembered this woman not because she was pretty, but because she had a skin condition on her shoulder that Su Ziyang wanted to check on. However, he happened to be seen by Fairy Li and Daoist Master Xiao Yang!

"Have you finished your medicine?" Su Ziyang gestured for Han Xixi to sit down, and then sat down behind the examination table himself.

"Mmm, I'm done eating!"

Han Xixi nodded.

"Come, let me take your pulse!"

Su Ziyang thought Han Xixi was there for a follow-up visit, so he instinctively took her pulse, but to his surprise, Han Xixi giggled again.

Su Ziyang was getting annoyed by Han Xixi's laughter and stared at Han Xixi with some confusion.

"I took seven doses of your medicine and I'm completely cured! I didn't come here today for a medical checkup!"

After Han Xixi finished speaking, she generously revealed her bare shoulders again. Su Ziyang took a look and saw that her originally rough skin had indeed turned into a light mark.

"Ah! That's good, that's good!"

Su Ziyang looked at Han Xixi's shoulder, which had fully recovered, and nodded.

"I've come to ask Doctor Su if he can make house calls! So I've come to request your services!"

Han Xixi looked at Su Ziyang with a smile.

"Okay!" Su Ziyang paused for a moment, then said, "If the patient can come, then I suggest he come for treatment! That's more in line with the regulations!"

Hearing Su Ziyang's words, Han Xixi still smiled and said, "Oh! If she could come, I would have brought her myself. Why would I need to trouble you?"

"What is the patient's condition? How old are they?"

Su Ziyang neither agreed to make the house call nor refused, but instead inquired about the patient's condition.

"The patient is a 9-year-old girl. As for the specifics, I really can't say for sure how to describe it. If you really can't go out, then that's fine! I came today specifically to thank you!"

As she spoke, Han Xixi took out a delicate little gift box from her bag.

"This is a Parker pen. Thank you for curing my illness! I'll be going now! Bye-bye!"

Han Xixi presented the gift forcefully, giving Su Ziyang no chance to explain, and walked out the door after placing it on the table.

"Hey! Don't go yet!" Su Ziyang picked up his pen and called out to Han Xixi.

"What's wrong?" Han Xixi had already reached the door when she suddenly turned around, her long hair flowing gracefully, looking quite beautiful.

"I didn't say I wouldn't go! But I have to wait until after get off work!"

Su Ziyang quickly explained that Su Ziyang didn't actually want to make house calls, but Su Ziyang suddenly remembered the time when Daoist Jin took him to the city hospital to save the little boy with leukemia.

Hearing that the patient was a little girl, Su Ziyang was still moved, even though he wasn't that close to Han Xixi.

"Haha, okay!" Han Xixi nodded. "I'll wait for you in my car in the parking lot downstairs. Call me after work!"

After saying this, Han Xixi left her phone number and went downstairs in her high heels.

Su Ziyang tidied up the room, read for a while, and then it was time to leave work.

"Hello, this is Su Ziyang. May I ask which car you own?"

Su Ziyang started calling Han Xixi as soon as he reached the parking lot entrance.

"Come out right now!"

One minute later, a white Porsche pulled up in front of Su Ziyang.

"Doctor Su, let's get in the car!"

Han Xixi sat in the driver's seat and waved to Su Ziyang.

Su Ziyang didn't stand on ceremony and sat directly in the passenger seat.

"Doctor Su, I'd like to ask, when you practice medicine at this Daoist Medicine Clinic, besides treating illnesses, do you also perform exorcisms or fortune telling?"

After Su Ziyang got into the car, Han Xixi chatted with Su Ziyang while driving.

"I can see a doctor, but I can't do the last two things you mentioned!" Su Ziyang told the truth.

The question Han Xixi asked reflects a common problem among people today. Upon encountering anything related to Daoism, they immediately ask the master to tell their fortune! Upon seeing Buddhism, they say, "Master, please bless my temple!"

In reality, as long as one is upright and honest, there is no need to fear those evil and heretical practices, let alone need any consecration or exorcism.

When righteousness resides within, evil cannot invade!

That's the principle.

"You won't be scared when you get there, will you?"

Han Xixi giggled.

"What kind of illness is it? Is it that scary???"

Su Ziyang looked at Han Xixi with some surprise.

"It's not that scary, alright then, I won't scare you anymore! Since you don't know how to exorcise evil spirits or tell fortunes, I'd like you to take a look at my illness instead!"

With that, Han Xixi stepped on the gas, and the car sped off.

Su Ziyang wasn't a local and didn't know where Han Xixi had dragged him to, but this neighborhood looked like a high-end one.

Because Su Ziyang discovered that the entire neighborhood consisted of detached villas.

Han Xixi parked the car in front of a villa and got out.

Su Ziyang followed Han Xixi into the room. As soon as Su Ziyang entered, he smelled a strong incense scent and then heard the buzzing of mantras coming from a Buddhist chanting machine.

"It seems this is a Buddhist family!"

Su Ziyang followed Han Xixi around the screen at the entrance and arrived at the living room on the first floor.

There were three people sitting in the living room: two men and one woman. One of the men and the woman were sitting together, and their relationship appeared to be that of a married couple.

The man sitting to the side, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a Tang suit, was holding a folding fan and talking incessantly to a man and a woman.

The man and woman sitting to the side nodded repeatedly as they listened.

"Elder brother!"

Han Xixi entered the room, put her bag on the table, and then shouted.

"What are you shouting about? What kind of behavior is this, a young lady like you!"

The man, who had been listening attentively, stood up and reprimanded Han Xixi.

"Hey! You dare criticize me after just a few days! Sister-in-law, look at my brother! Beat her up, sister-in-law!"

Han Xixi chuckled and pointed to her older brother.

"Xixi's here!"

The woman looked at Han Xixi, and a smile instantly appeared on her face.

"Xixi, come here, this is Master Yan whom I invited today. Master Yan skilled in both medicine and Daoism, and his abilities are profound. Come here and let him take a look at you!"

Han Xixi 'Han Xixi older brother pulled her over and tried to sit down next to him.

"Brother, there are other people here! How can you be so rude!"

Han Xixi shook off her older brother's hand and pouted.

It wasn't that Han Xixi's Han Xixi brother was impolite; it was because the style of his house was quite unique. Su Ziyang had been standing behind them since he entered, so Han Xixi's older brother and sister-in-law didn't see Su Ziyang.

Upon hearing Han Xixi's Han Xixi, her older brother quickly turned around. "Oh dear, I'm so sorry. And who is this?"
