Chapter 341: Chapter 338: Things Are Not That Simple Throughout the dynasties, the Suppression Technique has always been prohibited and detested because of its malevolence, which is shocking to behold. Song Ye’s face turned pale when Qin Liuxi told him that he might have been subjected to this evil magic. "This is impossible." Seeing his agitation, Qin Liuxi countered, "Why is it impossible? As a general, you’ve killed many in battle, haven’t you? Isn’t it normal for someone to seek revenge? Even if no one does, what about pure jealousy and malice? General, human hearts are dangerous." Song Ye was stunned, licked his dry lips, and stammered, "But you can’t just jump to conclusions. We still don’t know anything yet." "I actually hope I’m jumping to conclusions, as that would mean there’s a chance to change the situation. Otherwise, your fate would be sealed, unable to be altered, and you might as well reincarnate early." Song Ye’s complexion grew even worse. He thought back over his years, really, was there no one who hated him enough to use such evil magic on him? Surely there were some, but aren’t they dead? But how could they use such evil magic on him after death, which is as disturbing as cutting off all familial ties? Who could be so ruthless towards him? For a moment, Song Ye felt uncertain and looked helplessly at Qin Liuxi, saying, "I really can’t think of anyone who would hate me enough to use such magic. What should I do?" "Since you are a guest of our shop, I will naturally resolve this issue for you. Whether it is the Suppression Technique or not, we can simply check at your residence." Song Ye immediately replied, "That’s great, shall we go now?" "General, there’s no need to rush to solve this matter. If it’s really this evil magic, it’s not difficult to break. Please, rest assured." Song Ye thought to himself, you’re talking as if I’m doomed, how can I be reassured? I might as well go to the temple and pray for a hundred peace charms to change my fate. Who knows if they can remain so composed about their fate in the future; certainly, he can’t. Indeed, these kinds of fortune-tellings shouldn’t be conducted lightly. Pleasant words are comforting, but unpleasant ones only cause distress, which can lead to sleepless nights and a lack of appetite, leaving one just calculating when the misfortunes will arrive. Just like now, Song Ye felt completely drained and said with a bitter smile, "In situations like mine, how many can feel reassured?" "You should consider a different perspective. It’s fortunate that you entered our shop and met me; otherwise, you would die without understanding why your life turned out this way," Qin Liuxi said with a smile. "The most fearful thing is to die in ignorance." Song Ye’s heart skipped a beat, and he nodded in agreement, "You’re right." If that’s the case, would he die a fool, hoodwinked about everything? However, by saying this, wasn’t Qin Liuxi implying that she was quite certain that he was cursed with evil magic? Song Ye felt a chill in his heart, wondering who was behind this and what exactly they wanted. While he was lost in thought, Qin Liuxi had already taken up a brush and swiftly written out a prescription. By the time he snapped out of it, she said, "General, your kidney deficiency needs careful nourishment of the Kidney Water essence. You’ll need to take medicine for at least half a year. During this period, also abstain from sexual activity, eat a light diet, and limit your alcohol intake. Additionally, come to our shop for acupuncture once every ten days to help stabilize your Essence Soul." Song Ye, hearing about his kidney deficiency and sexual activity, couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth, wanting to say something. But seeing the other party maintaining the solemn demeanor of a doctor, he felt unable to be pretentious. He glanced at the prescription handed to him, all were materials for nourishing yin and tonifying the kidney, such as Eucommia and Rehmannia Six Formula, then he asked, "Will I be healed if I drink this medicine for half a year?" Qin Liuxi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Not exactly. I will modify the prescription based on the recovery of your body. It’s not about drinking this medicine all the way through." Song Ye understood and handed it to Chen Pi, "Then, please bother brother to prepare the medicine for me." Chen Pi smiled and said, "Let Mr. Song know, even though our store is involved in medical practice and the prescriptions are prescribed by doctors, the herbal materials must be assembled by you at another herbal store, as we do not prepare the medicine. If Mr. Song doesn’t mind spending Silver Coin, you can get your medicine from Changsheng Hall, which has excellent medicinal materials. If it’s a general herbal store, Ren’an Hall is also good for value." Song Ye found it curious, medical practice without preparing the medicine, really strange. However, he did not ask further, only folded the prescription and planned to pick up some medicine from Changsheng Hall on his way out. "Master, now that my matters have subsided, could I trouble you to visit and check on my younger sister? Or should I bring her over?" Song Ye cautiously asked. Qin Liuxi immediately responded, "I am temporarily impaired in my legs and feet, bringing her over would be best. I heard from Chen Pi that you came here intending to reorder a coffin from Old Guantou, because your nephew’s grave collapsed?" "That’s correct," said Song Ye. "I knew Old Guantou too, he made sturdy and solid coffins, yet I never expected that he had already passed away." He bowed slightly towards the void. Qin Liuxi was puzzled, "I am somewhat curious, although he was your nephew, why are you the one arranging the coffin and the grave? Even though your sister is sick, what about her husband?" Song Ye sighed, "It’s quite strange indeed. I dreamt that my nephew said he was cold and soaking wet. On a whim, I went to his grave and saw it had collapsed and was even waterlogged. My sister in her sick state is already overwhelmed with worry, I dare not inform her, lest it worsens her condition. As for my brother-in-law, he’s also by my sister’s side every day. To prevent any slip of the tongue, I haven’t mentioned it yet; only planning to tell them once everything is arranged." Qin Liuxi half-squinted, "It’s a yin soul sending a dream." "Is there a problem with this?" Song Ye hurriedly asked, "Not hiding it from you, this nephew of mine was a few years younger than you, and since childhood, he had a special bond with me. I have been childless for many years after losing two sons, and my sister and her husband had agreed to adopt this child to me, for him to inherit the family business, but unfortunately, the child was not blessed." Now, not only Qin Liuxi, even Chen Pi felt something strange, Isn’t this too coincidental? "Your sister is willing to adopt her son to you, does she have another son?" Song Ye nodded, "Certainly, otherwise, having only one son, how could I agree to let her family end its lineage?" Qin Liuxi pondered and then asked, "Could Mr. Song mention your sister’s birth dates?" Song Ye was startled, his heart suddenly beating faster, why suddenly mention birth dates? It’s not another divination, is it? Seeing his hesitation, Qin Liuxi smiled and said, "It’s alright if you don’t say. Just asking, we can talk about it when Mr. Song brings your sister for the consultation." Song Ye felt a bit awkward and explained, "It’s not that I don’t want to tell. She doesn’t know her birth dates, and it’s not right for me to fabricate them." "Mhm." Seeing Qin Liuxi’s indifferent manner, Song Ye became even more anxious, wanting to say something but felt like it sounded like he was making excuses, so after babbling a bit, he agreed to come again the day after tomorrow and then left. "Master, the matter Mr. Song is involved in doesn’t seem simple," Chen Pi asked Qin Liuxi after he had left. Qin Liuxi, tapping on the table, agreed, "Indeed, it is not simple. We will understand once we see his sister."
