Wu Shengnan was stunned by Cheng Xiaofan's words, thinking, "No way, this guy can discern a patient's undisclosed illness from their voice over the phone?"
Was there such a bizarre thing in the world?
She couldn't help but ask, "Cheng Xiaofan, can you really discern a person's illness from their voice? Isn't that too incredible?"
Cheng Xiaofan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What, you don't believe me?"
Wu Shengnan replied, "Of course I believe you. You're so accurate. I'm just curious."
Cheng Xiaofan glanced at her chest and said, "To be honest, when you go to the hospital with this condition, doctors will have a hard time diagnosing it, and others won't be able to treat you well."
Wu Shengnan asked, "Why?"
Cheng Xiaofan explained, "The reason is simple. Your condition is latent, and ordinary equipment won't easily detect it during a check-up."
"Unless surgery is performed for a biopsy."
"When a biopsy is done, the diseased area will expand rapidly, and it's not something ordinary medication can control."
Wu Shengnan was startled by his words!
She said, "According to you, there's no cure for my condition?"
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "It's estimated that besides me, others really can't treat it!"
Wu Shengnan asked, "What method can you use to cure me of this condition?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Internal medication and external massage. I can say that as long as I take action, the illness will be cured immediately. It's not a big deal at all!"
Thinking about having a grown man massage her, Wu Shengnan shivered involuntarily, instinctively feeling a sense of resistance.
Cheng Xiaofan could see her thoughts clearly.
He said, "Think about it carefully. Even if I were to treat you, I'd have to handle the matter of Yupai Mountain first."
The implication in his words was very clear.
The condition is with you, whether to treat it or not is your business.
I don't necessarily have to treat you.
Wu Shengnan thought about the embarrassment and pain the condition had caused her. She gritted her teeth and said, "Cheng Xiaofan, after you've dealt with the Yupai Mountain matter, please treat me!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Miss Wu, I'm only treating you out of respect for my teacher."
"If it were anyone else, even if I knew they had this condition, I would absolutely never mention it!"
Wu Shengnan quickly replied, "Cheng Xiaofan, thank you!"
She knew her hesitation had been noticed by Cheng Xiaofan, and it had displeased him.
Cheng Xiaofan was indeed a little unhappy, as if he had some ulterior motive in treating her. If it were someone else, he wouldn't have paid them any attention.
Wu Shengnan said, "Cheng Xiaofan, I'm sorry. I hesitated just now, but I didn't have any other intentions. Please don't be angry!"
Since she had apologized, Cheng Xiaofan certainly wouldn't hold a grudge.
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Don't worry, I'm not angry!"
Speaking of which, Wu Shengnan was after all an unmarried young woman. It was quite normal for her to react in such a situation.
Immediately, Cheng Xiaofan chastised himself in his heart.
Half an hour later, the car drove out of the city. Yupai Mountain was not far ahead.
The rolling mountains, each with its unique shape, presented a magnificent sight from afar.
As they got closer to Yupai Mountain, Cheng Xiaofan felt the air becoming fresher.
Before long, the car drove into Yupai Mountain.
A very rough mountain road appeared before them.
The road was rugged and uneven, and the car bumped along continuously.
After driving for about twenty kilometers, they reached an open area where more than ten special police vehicles were parked.
Wu Shengnan said, "Cheng Xiaofan, our car can only stop here. There's no road ahead, so we'll have to get out and walk."
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Alright, let's stop the car here."
Wu Shengnan parked the car, and the two of them immediately got out.
Two special police officers were guarding the vehicles. Upon seeing Wu Shengnan arrive, they quickly greeted her, "Captain Wu, hello!"
Wu Shengnan merely nodded slightly at them and led Cheng Xiaofan directly into a dense forest.
Wu Shengnan said, "Cheng Xiaofan, we have to walk for more than seven li to reach that cave."
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "It's no problem. I grew up in the mountains and loved exploring them when I was young. This distance won't be difficult for me."
The special police force under the headquarters of the Jianghu Affairs Bureau were also selected from rogue cultivators in the martial world, primarily responsible for arrest missions.
Similarly, Wu Shengnan was also a cultivator.
Even though the path ahead was difficult, it didn't pose any challenge to Wu Shengnan.
She walked with vigorous steps, as fast as flying, lightly leaping over any obstacles in her path.
Cheng Xiaofan simply followed closely behind her. If he were to unleash his full ability, a mere surge of energy would allow him to cover the seven li distance in the blink of an eye.
Clearly, Zhang Heng had not disclosed his specific situation to Wu Shengnan.
The two moved one after another, leaping and bounding like rabbits and falcons. It didn't take long before they reached their destination.
The area was fenced off with a metal railing, and over a hundred special police officers were guarding the perimeter.
A large stone monument stood here, inscribed with the words: "Protected Restricted Area, No Trespassing!"
When the special police saw Wu Shengnan, they all shouted in unison, "Captain Wu, hello!"
Wu Shengnan, still with a serious expression, nodded and introduced Cheng Xiaofan, "Everyone, this is Cheng Xiaofan, recommended by Minister Zhang. He possesses extraordinary skills and is here to investigate the situation in the cave."
"Everyone, please remember, Mr. Cheng is now our leader, and all actions must follow his command!"
"Yes!" The more than one hundred special police officers responded in unison.
At the same time, they also greeted Cheng Xiaofan, "Mr. Cheng, hello!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Everyone, you've worked hard!"
Immediately, he activated his Dragon Eye clairvoyance, and his gaze swept towards the cave.
The cave was sealed, covered with wild grass and vines on the outside, and had a heavy stone door added inside. Ordinary people would not be able to discern that there was a cave here.
As his gaze explored further inside, he discovered a group of vicious-looking strange birds guarding near the cave entrance.
Each bird was as large as a small goat, and a dazzling flame burned on its body. These were the so-called Flame Birds that Zhang Heng had mentioned.
What shocked Cheng Xiaofan was that these Flame Birds originated from Earth's prehistoric era.
In the spirit realm of the desert oasis, he had encountered a few Flame Birds. They were extremely ferocious and overbearing, and ordinary beasts would flee from them in terror.
Their hunting method was incredibly formidable. Once they locked onto their prey, they would pounce, and the flames on their bodies would engulf the prey, causing it to melt and be instantly absorbed by them.
At the time, when Zhang Heng was introducing the Flame Birds to Cheng Xiaofan, he had already suspected that these fierce birds were from Earth's prehistoric era.
He never expected that these were indeed the same kind of birds he had encountered in the spirit realm of the desert oasis.
