Chapter 26 Evil Spirit
The car sped along, probably because it was almost afternoon and not yet rush hour, so there wasn't much traffic. After another 20 minutes, we finally arrived at the First People's Hospital. The First People's Hospital truly lived up to its reputation as the largest hospital in Jiangcheng, with five buildings just for the inpatient department. Even at this hour, we saw many people coming and going. This time, Huang Kaiping and Zhao Xiu respectfully invited Yang Nianqing to his son's ward.

Yang Nianqing and Fan Ruichen followed Huang Kaiping to a private ward. The ward had only two beds and a toilet. Although Huang Kaiping had just lost a lot of money, he was still good to his father and son. Although the First People's Hospital is a public hospital, it can also open private wards, but opening a private ward in the First People's Hospital is not cheap.

As soon as I entered the ward, I heard heavy breathing. Huang Kaiping's father and son were unconscious with flushed faces. A middle-aged woman stood up with a worried look on her face: "Xiuxiu, you're back. The doctor just came and gave us a critical condition notice. If Ayong and Longlong's fevers don't break, they'll be in danger. What should we do?"

"Master! What should we do?" Zhao Xiu cried out anxiously.

Huang Kaiping looked at his father and son with red eyes. Both of them were still on IV drips. His son's face was flushed and his breathing was hoarse. He raised his hand and slapped himself twice. "Master, please save my father and my son!"

Although Huang Kaiping has a bad temper and is impolite, he is still very good to his family. Yang Nianqing nodded, "I will cure them."

Yang Nianqing stepped forward to examine the two men. She saw a reddish-black mist circulating within their bodies, and a patch of darkness beneath their eyes, the mist seemingly trying to penetrate their hearts. Yang Nianqing tugged at Fan Ruichen and asked, "Can you see the black mist inside their bodies?"

Fan Ruichen looked at the two of them. To him, they seemed normal except for being a little heavier in their breathing and having a slightly flushed face. He didn't see any mist, so he shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything."

Yang Nianqing nodded: "I see, okay."

Using her backpack as cover, Yang Nianqing took out a small round box from her spatial bracelet. This box was made of thousand-year-old peach wood when she was in the secret realm, which could preserve spiritual energy to the greatest extent. There were no living creatures in the secret realm. The box contained cinnabar made from the blood of a rooster that she had found after leaving the secret realm. The rooster had lived for 5 years and was said to crow every day and be the most energetic. Of course, she didn't know if the seller's self-praise was true, but the rooster was indeed full of yang energy, and its blood had a good suppressing and dispelling effect on yin and evil things.

Yang Nianqing used her little finger to apply a dot of cinnabar and then used her spiritual power to quickly draw an exorcism talisman on the foreheads of the two people.

As time passed, the runes slowly seeped into the foreheads of the two people until they were completely invisible. Yang Nianqing nodded and said, "It's alright, but the two of them have suffered a great loss of vitality this time and will probably need to recuperate for a while, otherwise it may shorten their lifespan."

Zhao Xiu nodded repeatedly, and she, along with her husband and mother-in-law, went forward to check the two people's temperatures.

Zhao Xiu's mother-in-law, Luo Jinzhen, exclaimed excitedly, "The fever has gone down! It's amazing that the fever has gone down!"

"Great! Great!" Huang Kaiping couldn't help but cheer repeatedly.

Looking at the three excited people, Yang Nianqing glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "You should first find a doctor to check on their condition and help them recover. Now go to your house and deal with that antique."

Huang Kaiping wiped away his tears, then lowered his head and kissed his son, saying, "Okay, Master." He turned to Zhao Xiu and said, "Wife, you and Mom stay here to take care of Dad and Longlong. I'll take the Master with me."

Zhao Xiu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and pulled Huang Kaiping aside, whispering, "Be respectful to the master later, don't offend him!"

Huang Kaiping nodded quickly; after this battle, how could he dare to be disrespectful to anyone?

So Yang Nianqing and Fan Ruichen followed Huang Kaiping to his current residence.

In the hospital lobby, a boy stared blankly at the retreating figures of Yang Nianqing and her group. The boy appeared to be sixteen or seventeen years old, about 1.8 meters tall, with shoulder-length, layered hair and round, almond-shaped eyes beneath thick eyelashes. His features were exquisitely delicate, making him look quite adorable. The boy sat on a chair, his left foot inexplicably covered in blood. He was still trying to follow their retreating figures through the bustling crowd, his almond-shaped eyes filled with shock and confusion.

After paying the registration fee, Gu Yuanhong pushed his wheelchair back and saw his cousin staring blankly at the hospital gate. Gu Yuanhong glanced at the hospital gate and asked in confusion, "What are you looking at, An Yu?"

Xu Anyu snapped out of her daze and stared wide-eyed at Gu Yuanhong, saying, "Brother Hong, I think I just saw my second brother! He was wearing women's clothes! And a wig!"

Gu Yuanhong was surprised: "Nofi? That number one straight man in the universe, who is also a bit chauvinistic, would wear women's clothes? I've never seen anything like it before."

Xu Anyu clutched his head in regret, saying, "I can't believe I didn't take a picture!"

"Wait a minute! Didn't I call Nuofei the day before yesterday? Wasn't he filming in Hengdian? How come he's here?"

Xu Anyu was stunned for a moment. Yes, his brother was filming in Hengdian. How could he be here? Xu Anyu raised his head: "But I'm sure I didn't see wrong. He looks exactly like my brother, except he's wearing a wig and women's clothes. How could I mistake him!" As he spoke, he stood up to chase after him.

Gu Yuanhong quickly helped him up and put him in a wheelchair, saying, "Your leg is broken, so you can calm down! If you want to know if it's your brother, just have a video call with him later. But you, you broke your leg while trying to catch a sorcerer. You're a level 4 ability user, aren't you ashamed?" Xu Anyu wiped his face and said somewhat awkwardly, "This time I was indeed careless. I didn't expect that guy to have so many ways to save his life."

"After I get your foot fixed, I still need to pick up Spirit Cat and Mask from Team 3. This warlock has seriously violated the law; we can't let him escape."

Xu Anyu nodded and took out his phone to make a video call to his second brother, Xu Nuofei. Just a few seconds later, his brother's androgynous face appeared on the screen. The man was dressed in ancient costume, his long hair blowing in the breeze. His narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes glanced over, exuding a captivating, almost otherworldly aura. Xu Anyu couldn't resist secretly taking a screenshot. His brother was incredibly handsome, but his ancient, handsome attire didn't quite resemble what he had just seen.

"What's up, Xiaoyu?" Xu Nuofei took the water her assistant handed her and took a sip.

"Nofi, did you come to Jiangcheng today?" Gu Yuanhong asked from behind Xu Anyu.

Xu Nuofei shook his head in confusion and said, "I've been at the theater all day."

Judging from the video showing people in ancient costumes walking by Xu Nuofei and the antique-style scenery, he is indeed in Hengdian.

“An Yu said she saw a woman who looked exactly like you and thought you were dressed as a woman,” Gu Yuanhong chuckled.

Xu Nuofei raised an eyebrow and shook his head, saying, "Crossing women's clothes is impossible! I will never cross-dress in my life! I am a dignified seven-foot-tall man! How could I possibly wear women's clothes!"

Gu Yuanhong's lips twitched. This child still couldn't realize that while his face could be described as strikingly beautiful, it was definitely not manly!

Xu Nuofei's assistant jogged over to him and said, "Brother Nuofei, the director said we can start preparing for the next scene."

Xu Nuofei nodded, then said into the video, "I have to go now, I'm hanging up."

Xu Anyu put away her phone, frowned, and argued, "I really didn't see wrong, it's exactly the same!"

"Does it resemble both Daiqing and Tangtang?"

Xu Anyu pouted and said, "Tangtang does look a bit like my brother, but Xu Daiqing doesn't at all!"

Gu Yuanhong was both amused and exasperated. The relationship between him and his sister was still as bad as ever. As for the twins, Daiqing really didn't resemble Xu Nuofei; she probably looked more like her aunt, Xu Anyu's mother, Gu Rongrong. "The person you saw might just be someone who looks similar," he said. As they spoke, they arrived at the doctor's office. Gu Yuanhong wheeled Xu Anyu inside.

Xu Anyu didn't speak, but she was deeply puzzled. Could people really look alike? They were too similar.

Huang Kaiping led Yang Nianqing to his former residence, a three-story house he built himself. The surrounding area was filled with similar houses. Yang Nianqing looked up and was astonished to see the eerie aura emanating from the building; it felt like a haunted house. It was the first time she had ever seen such a dense aura.

Yang Nianqing frowned and looked at Huang Kaiping with suspicion, asking, "Where did you get that antique? It has such a strong malevolent aura!"

Huang Kaiping couldn't sense any malevolent energy, but he clearly felt that his house had become much more gloomy, a stark contrast to other people's homes. It was like a chilly early spring compared to the sweltering summer. Huang Kaiping scratched his head in frustration and said, "I got it from the black market. The black market specializes in buying things of dubious origin, whether it's antiques, gold and silver jewelry, or anything from black to white transactions. I should never have gone to the black market to scour for things!"

Yang Nianqing nodded in understanding. Having lived in Jiangcheng for over twenty years, he never imagined that there was such a place in Jiangcheng.

Yang Nianqing then turned to look at Fan Ruichen.

Fan Ruichen: "..."

"Alright." Yang Nianqing sighed regretfully.
