Chapter 401 Hope of a Cure

Shortly after putting hand on his hand, Lin Mengya gradually frowned.

She stared at Xiao Yixin suspiciously, and then stretched out her hands to pinch several joints of his upper body and arms.

Long Tianyu became extremely sullen.

Xiao Yixin could only cough lightly and shrink, as if hurt by Lin Mengya. In fact, he was indeed a little surprised that the little girl had become so strong that she could grasp him so firmly.

“How is he?”

Xiao Yixin’s sensible cooperation made Long Tianyu feel a little better.

Therefore, he, who always had no interest in others’ business, inquired about Xiao Yixin’s condition, which was quite rare.

Lin Mengya looked at Xiao Yixin strangely, and then told the result of her diagnosis.

“From the result, I’ve detected no pathological changes in the bones all over your body. So, the problem should lie in the flesh and blood. The result I can detect now is that your body seems to be distorted due to a strange disease. Nevertheless, this distortion may be reversible. Brother Yixin, how long have you been injured?”

Hearing that there might be hope of a cure, Xiao Yixin was somewhat excited.

Thus, he answered every question asked by Lin Mengya.

“I got this look half a year ago. But at the beginning, only my face was ruined. This sarcoma had swollen up gradually since three months ago.”

In other words, it was not long before Xiao Yixin became so horrifying.

Lin Mengya became cheerful. As long as she found the culprit who had turned him into this, perhaps she could bring the handsome and elegant man back!

“Brother Yixin, I still got something to deal with. Wait for me here. After finishing handling my business, I will come back to save you. Moreover, my brother has returned to the Capital City. If you can’t bear to stay here, you can go to the Capital City to find him. For the sake of the fact that we had grown up together, I will definitely cure you.”

Long Tianyu knew Lin Mengya so well. As long as she said she could cure the disease, she would make it.

Based on her treatment for his father’s illness, he had more confidence in Lin Mengya.

However, Xiao Yixin smiled bitterly. He had searched for famous doctors at the beginning.

He had visited all the famous doctors in the Capital City, but it didn’t help the matter even if he had spent every penny.

Even after the famous doctors saw his face, they all said that he deliberately deceived them.

None of them pointed out his illness in such a determined way like Lin Mengya.

“Forget it. You don’t need to console me. It’s the punishment from heaven for my failure in identifying the villains. I have experienced the fickleness of human nature in this inn. Just leave me here to end this miserable life.”

Lin Mengya looked at him with some pity. The Xiao Yixin she knew was gentle and elegant, and his eyes were filled with sparkle of confidence.

But now all his pride was destroyed by this special illness.

Everything making him proud had collapsed. Those sarcasm and cold shoulders had probably exposed him to the hardships of human affairs.

Lin Mengya finally gave up consoling him, because now she only speculated that this disease might be curable.

However, she was not completely sure after all. Maybe Xiao Yixin was right. Before the brightness came, any beam of light might lead to gloom and doom.

Xiao Yixin was also a human, and he might have to bear much more than Lin Mengya.

“Why didn’t you close the door? Fu, do you want to get fired?”

A furious voice suddenly came from the gate.

Xiao Yixin immediately got up from his seat and looked at the door nervously.

Lin Mengya turned around and saw the one coming in. As she expected, it was Dongfang Xu, but at this moment his eyes were already full of impatience.

He held a horsewhip. He, who was upset, would definitely not let Xiao Yixin go.

Seeing the annoying waiter coming over in a hurry, he swung the dark brown horsewhip at him.

“Stop!”

He felt his wrist stopped by someone suddenly, and he couldn’t move his hand down even a little no matter how hard he tried.

With a flash of coldness in his eyes, he looked towards the man in black who suddenly appeared in front of him.

Although the man had a cold face, he was indescribably handsome.

But the man could suddenly stop his hand, which meant that the man could be considered excellent in martial arts.

They looked at each other coldly, but had evidently increased the strength on their hands. However, although Dongfang Xu had exhausted his strength, he still couldn’t make the man in front retreat even a little.

What an enigmatic person!

“Mr. Dongfang, why beat him? Fu just let us in. Besides, I come here to deliver the message you would like most to know. If I have offended you, I’ll make an apology first. If I have bothered you, we will leave now.”

A crisp voice said unhurriedly.

The man in black glanced at him vigilantly, but put down his hand first.

After that, a little childe with extremely delicate features appeared in front of him.

The childe looked as old as Xiu, but his calmness also reminded him that this childe was the young man in Master Guo’s caravan.

Seeing that he was not an enemy, Dongfang Xu looked relieved a lot.

But what did the young man just say? The young man got the news he would like most to know. Could it be possible that this young man, who had just been here for one day, had got the clue that he had spent half a month tracing?

But this young seemed to be about to leave, which made him too embarrassed to ask.

“You turn out to be the young man in Master Guo’s caravan. Sorry for having offended you. I’m a rough fellow. Young man, don’t lower yourself to my level.”

Lin Mengya learned that Dongfang Xu was actually someone adaptable to circumstances.

He had stared at them with his scary big eyes just now. But at this moment, his gentle expression and tone made him look like the old man next door.

She had to drop the words she had prepared before.

The members of the Dongfang family were really unusual.

“Mr. Dongfang, I’m flattered by your remark. It’s our fault this time. When I came here, you just went out. So I asked Fu to let me in and wait for you here.”

Lin Mengya had always been a person returning someone else’s kindness tenfold.

Since Dongfang Xu had humbled himself on his own initiative as a senior, there was no need for her to be aggressive.

Dongfang Xu obviously had a good impression of this broad-minded young man, and he smiled slightly.

He asked all the companions, who looked fiercely at them, to enter the inn.

“Haha, as someone valued by Master Guo, you are a young talent who can make great accomplishment as I expect. By the way, you said that you got the news I want to know. What is it? Is it about Xiu?”

Dongfang Xu led Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu to the innermost table, and lowered his voice to ask.

Lin Mengya nodded silently, but did not speak.

With plenty of people around, no one knew if there was any spy placed or bribed by someone.

Dongfang Xu obviously understood this, so no matter how anxious he was, he just asked in a low voice on the surface.

After getting an affirmative answer, Dongfang Xu obviously looked a little excited.

But in order not to expose the news, Lin Mengya exclaimed at once.

“Recommended by Uncle Guo, I came here to trouble you to help me collect these medicinal herbs. If you can’t collect them, maybe no one around the world can transport the medicinal herbs I need out of Lieyun Empire.”

It was the simplest and least noticeable way to disguise as a merchant collecting medicinal herbs.

Moreover, everyone here should know that Master Guo had no intention of meddling with this matter.

The caravan led by Master Guo was leaving early in the morning, so it was reasonable that the little childe came to discuss the deal at midnight.

Dongfang Xu also understood what she meant, so he touched his mustache and continued cooperating with her.

“No problem. Little brother, it’s very kind of you to say so. Since you are recommended to come here by Master Guo, I will definitely collect these medicinal herbs for you. How about going to my room with me to have a look at the samples?”

After exchanging glances with Long Tianyu, Lin Mengya nodded gently.

Under the gaze of a group of masked men, they followed Dongfang Xu to a room on the second floor.

As soon as they entered the room, Dongfang Xu closed the door cautiously. He couldn’t suppress the anxiety on his face and looked towards Lin Mengya.

“Where is my niece Xiu? Is she in danger? Has she been hurt?”

Lin Mengya didn’t speak, but took out the small bag, where the hundred fragrance rat was, from her waist.

“Xiu entrusted it to me and asked me to deliver it to you. I once persuaded her to come back, but Xiu insisted on staying there. Mr. Dongfang, please don’t blame me for this.”

The hundred fragrance rat must have smelled the scent of a familiar person and got out of the loosened bag.

It smelled everywhere and finally jumped onto Dongfang Xu’s palm.

After seeing this little rat, Dongfang Xu seemed to be relieved a little bit.

He then lovingly touched the rat, took a few pine nuts from his arms and put them on his palm.

After squeaking cheerfully, the rat reached out its small paw and began to enjoy its big meal.

“As long as this little rat is still alive, it means that Xiu is not in danger for the time being. Where did you see Xiu? Has she ever been injured? Is she alright?”

As an uncle, Dongfang Xu really doted on his niece.

He could even give up the business of the caravan for her.

Lin Mengya didn’t dare to neglect it, and immediately told the whole story.

Hearing that Xiu was really caught by the subordinates of White Dragon and Black Tiger, Dongfang Xu showed strong murderous intent in his eyes.

He put the hundred fragrance rat, which had been full, back in the bag and hung the bag around his waist.

After spending a whole night searching for his niece, Dongfang Xu was apparently worried about the fact that his niece was in the hands of those people.

But he was stopped by Lin Mengya.
