A burly older man in his early seventies came over laughing.
It was none other than Foster Wade, the underground leader of the five provinces in the southern region.
He began to make a living at fifteen, following Mr. Hayden Joyner. In his twenties, he was forced to return to his hometown of Whitecloud City due to an accident. In more than thirty years, he occupied the underground world of the five provinces of the Southern Region and became the leader.
He was poisoned three years ago, and it was Larson who cured him.
At this moment, Giselle Wade, who was next to him and eager to eat him, walked towards Foster, who was walking with a big smile. Carver said, "Foster, I was obvious back then...why do you only have a few months left to live?"
Upon closer inspection, Carver discovered that although Foster was in good spirits and full of energy.
But his glabella was surrounded by a mass of death Qi, which was a sign that his life was about to end.
Ancient medical methods paid attention to observing, hearing, asking, and touching, and accommodated all kinds of skills for medical practice. The art of observation is also a compulsory course for ancient medicine. In addition, The Book of the Primordial passed down by his master accommodated various avenues, so Carver could tell at a glance that Foster had death Qi in him.
Foster smiled stiffly, "Dr. Larson, I know I'm a bit of a trick on you by letting Giselle find you, but please don't joke with me."
If anyone else said that, Foster would be furious, but when Carver said that, he had no confidence.
Giselle said angrily, "Mr. Larson, don't scare my grandpa."
Larson said seriously, "I'm not kidding. It would have been easy for your grandfather to live to be ninety years old, but now he only has three to five months to live."
Carver didn't seem to be joking, so Giselle said nervously, "Grandpa, are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?"
Foster felt it momentarily and said, "I have been feeling perfect since Dr. Larson gave me treatment three years ago. I haven't had any minor illnesses or pains. Dr. Larson, is there really something wrong with me?"
"Come here."
Foster moved closer nervously.
Carver accessed spiritual Qi and condensed it in his eyes, which could enhance his vision dozens of times.
After staring at Foster for a while, Carver said in a deep voice when the two of them who were so nervous that could no longer hold back, "You are surrounded by blood-evil Qi so that your life is drastically reduced. Take me to your room."
Giselle whispered, "Mr. Larson, aren't you a doctor?"
"I can't explain the inheritance of my ancestors in a few sentences, so please take me there first."
Knowing that Carver was not joking, Foster told his granddaughter to stop asking questions and took Carver to his room.
His room was more than two hundred square meters, including a bedroom, a study room, and a hall of one hundred square meters. The decoration style was antique, and the furniture was all expensive solid wood furniture.
As soon as he entered the door, Carver saw the front of the hall where there was a shrine against the wall, enshrining a bronze statue of Guan Yu, which made him feel a sense of power and domineering.
Carver narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where did you get this bronze statue of Guan Yu?"
Foster replied, "Saxon Johnston from Laurel Province Province gave it to me some time ago. He said it was an ancient artifact over 700 years old. Is it fake?"
Carver went to the shrine.
After staring for a while, Foster and his granddaughter became even more nervous and said, "It is indeed an ancient relic, and it is more than seven hundred years old, estimated to be a thousand years old. But how can you keep it in your room? Don't you know it?"
Foster said in confusion, "Dr. Larson, it is normal for us to worship Guan Yu. Is there any problem?"
"Of course, there shouldn't be a problem. But this is the statue of Guan Yu with his eyes open."
Giselle asked, "Mr. Larson, can you explain more clearly?"
Foster and Giselle really didn't know, and Carver explained, "The statue of Guan Yu is very murderous. He closes his eyes to improve the fortune while he opens his eyes to kill people. Foster will be hurt invisibly when he keeps offering incense every day, and over time, you would die strangely."
Pointing at the bronze statue of Guan Yu, he added, "If you don't believe it, check it yourselves. Does the statue have mercy and compassion in his eyes?"
The two of them looked over and found that the statue's eyes were full of ferocity when he opened his eyes.
Foster no longer dared to doubt, and said bitterly, "Then I can only live for a few months?"
"Mr. Larson, please save my grandpa."
Carver said, "Don't worry, since I found out, I won't let him die. But don't enshrine this statue anymore, let someone find a temple to send it to purify its evil spirit. In addition, I am also surprised that there are legends and records about this among the people. Foster how can you still make mistakes?"
Hearing this, Foster lowered his eyes, "Dr. Larson, this matter may be a bit complicated."
Thinking that this bronze statue was a gift from Saxon Johnston, the underground emperor of Laurel Province, Carver probably captured something.
He didn't want to get involved in these underground world affairs, so he said, "Then get rid of this bronze statue first. After that, I will give you acupuncture to strengthen your body and restore your lost energy. Then I will adjust the layout of the room for you. It will remove your glabella's death Qi, and nothing else will matter!"
"Dr. Larson, thank you for saving me again. From now on, if you need me anytime, Foster will go through fire and water."
…
Late at night, Carver, who was warmly entertained by Foster, returned to his room slightly drunk.
He took out his phone and found that it was out of battery. He quickly charged it and turned it on. More than ten text messages arrived, five of which were reminders of missed calls, all from Cecilia Yates.
"Are you in Whitecloud City? What are you going to do?"
"Are you busy?"
"Carver, you started to hang on to me before you could date me. Do you still want to date me?"
"Bad guy, why did you turn off your phone? Did something happen? Turn it on and call me back immediately."
"..."
After reading the text message, Carver smiled, "Is this the girl who is about to fall in love?"
He immediately made a video call to Cecilia and she received the call almost instantly. But as soon as the screen was connected, Cecilia suddenly said, "I forgot it, wait!"
Then it died.
But Carver had already seen it, and he swallowed hard, "You were holding your phone while taking a bath. Did you give it to me on purpose?"
More than ten minutes later, Cecilia did not call back, but just sent a message, "Bad guy, did you do this on purpose?"
Carver smiled and replied, "How do I know you are taking a bath? But you have a really good figure, why didn't I notice it last time? When can I feel it?"
"Bad guy. Don't want to talk to you and I'll go to sleep."
Cecilia then sent a voice message, full of shyness.
It was not early, so Carver said good night, threw his cell phone aside, and walked into the bathroom to take a shower.
Little did he know that Cecilia was holding her cell phone and yelling, "This bad guy, can't he tell that I don't want to sleep, but want him to coax me?" She was so angry that she kicked her legs on the bed, feeling that Larson was an idiot.
"Cecilia, what are you doing?"
Deborah Zimmer just opened the door and came in, but her daughter, who had always been reserved and steady, kicked her legs like a little girl.
With a blush on her face, Cecilia quickly sat up and said, "Mom, why did you come in without knocking?"
Deborah came forward with a smile and sat down, "When did I knock on the door? Why didn't you tell me before? Is there some little secret that you are worried about Mom knowing?"
Cecilia said nervously, "No."
"Your face showed everything and you still say no, are you and Carver in love?"
Cecilia thought Deborah would object and hurriedly explained, "Mom, we are not officially together yet. And Carver..."
Seeing her daughter look nervous, Deborah interrupted her with a smile, "Mom is not against it. As long as you really like him, we will support you."
Cecilia hugged Deborah emotionally, "Mom, you are so kind!"
