Chapter 93

In the room, only two people remained, and the atmosphere became even more awkward.

"Ahem! I've already said, there's something wrong with her. Just be more understanding." Nangong Yiren gave a dry laugh and tapped her temple with her slender fingers.

The ice queen would find it difficult to maintain her cold demeanor in front of Lin Yihang in the future.

"Uh-huh!" Lin Yihang nodded and sipped his tea.

"What's wrong with this thing? It's not a fake, is it?"

Soon, Han Xue came out, swinging her long legs, holding a small tripod in her hands and placing it on the table.

The moment Lin Yihang saw the small tripod, his eyes lit up.

A medicine tripod!

This is a medicine tripod!

On the walls of the small tripod, there were patterns that seemed random but were actually the flow of an array, capable of guiding spiritual energy.

The flow of this array was extremely strict, and even the slightest mistake was unacceptable.

Although some of the bronze artifacts Nangong Yiren had previously taken out had carvings, they were only similar in form, clearly imitations by later generations, not the flow of an array.

Lin Yihang was so excited that his hands trembled as he took the small tripod and examined it carefully.

Confirmed! It's a medicine tripod!

On the inner wall, in addition to the array flow, there were inscriptions. The only flaw was that the array on this medicine tripod was very ordinary, of low grade, and both the array and the inscriptions were damaged.

Lin Yihang's eyes were filled with excitement and regret, "What a pity! What a pity!"

"Is it really a fake?" Han Xue clearly misunderstood Lin Yihang's meaning.

Nangong Yiren had only mentioned over the phone that there was something wrong with the small tripod, without specifying what. Now, seeing Lin Yihang say it was a pity, Han Xue naturally thought it was a fake.

"No! It's not a fake! I don't know its cultural value, but I know it has a long history, at least three thousand years." Lin Yihang paused slightly, then looked at Han Xue earnestly, "This small tripod is very important to me. I hope you can part with it. Whatever price you paid for it three months ago, I'll pay double."

"Wow! So rich! But I like this thing and don't want to part with it. I'm not short of money!" Han Xue pouted.

Lin Yihang was slightly taken aback. He had been staring at Han Xue's face and noticed that she had been smiling all along, but her expression stiffened and changed dramatically after he said the last sentence.

Oh no!

It seems this lady is not short of money. Mentioning money made me seem so utilitarian, which upset her and made things worse.

"Xue'er, it's not what you think. Although this small tripod is not a fake, it's an inauspicious object, like my large axe, and it has radiation. If you keep it with you for a long time, it will make you sick." Nangong Yiren came over and said earnestly, "Doctor Lin, please check if Xue'er has been affected by the radiation... I'll pay the consultation fee."

Nangong Yiren added this last part, clearly afraid that Lin Yihang would discuss the consultation fee right there, which would ruin the mood.

"What inauspicious object? Radiation infection! My dear, you must have been fooled by a quack. You usually seem so smart!" Han Xue looked at Nangong Yiren with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

"Oh! I can't explain it to you! Doctor Lin, you tell her!" Nangong Yiren clearly had more confidence in Lin Yihang.

"Ahem!" Lin Yihang coughed awkwardly and glanced at Nangong Yiren. The young girl had a serious expression.

Lin Yihang sighed inwardly. Girl, this is a divine artifact! How can it be compared to your cursed weapon? Although it's a low-grade divine artifact and damaged, it's certainly not invaded by the evil qi from an ancient tomb.

Although Lin Yihang never thought of himself as particularly noble, he wouldn't lie about radiation just to get the small tripod.

"This small tripod has no radiation; it's a very good thing. As for Han Xue, although she has some minor health issues, they are not related to this small tripod." Lin Yihang said.

"Oh? Doctor Lin... you really are a doctor! Such a young doctor is really amusing. Tell me, what minor health issues does Sister have?" Han Xue looked at Lin Yihang with interest.

"If I'm right, will you give me this small tripod?" Lin Yihang asked in return.

"Sure!" Han Xue agreed, then realized something and stopped her, "Wait! Wait!"

She turned to Nangong Yiren and asked, "Darling, you didn't tell this young doctor all my little secrets, did you?"

"Lazy to talk to you!" Nangong Yiren rolled her eyes. What do you mean, "my young doctor"... She was too lazy to argue with Han Xue, knowing that arguing with this quirky friend would only make things worse.

"Alright! You tell me! If you're right, I'll give you this small tripod and won't ask for double the price. For Nangong's sake, the original price will do!" Han Xue said.

"Alright!" Lin Yihang nodded, his spirits lifted, "Your minor health issues are similar to Nangong Yiren's recent problems... menstrual cramps! However, Nangong's started only in the last two months, while your condition has been going on for at least seven or eight years."

As soon as he said this, Han Xue was surprised, and Nangong Yiren's face turned red.

Oh no! Oh no! You're talking about Han Xue, why did you bring me into it?

"Darling, you really didn't tell him?" Han Xue looked at Nangong Yiren suspiciously.

"Doctor Lin was introduced by Dean He to treat my father. One acupuncture session made my father stand up. We only met two days ago, and this is our second meeting. How could I have told him about... your problem?" Nangong Yiren said.

"Uncle's legs are better?" Han Xue's eyes lit up with surprise. She knew how worried Nangong Yiren was about her father's illness.

"Not completely yet, but we can see the hope of a full recovery. I believe Doctor Lin's continued acupuncture will soon cure my father." Nangong Yiren looked at Lin Yihang with gratitude and trust.

At this point, Han Xue no longer doubted anything. She knew her friend too well to think she would team up with an outsider to deceive her.

"Doctor Lin, since you can see my condition at a glance, you must be able to treat me, right? Please help me! If you can cure me, I'll definitely give you this small tripod!"

Han Xue, realizing this, was so excited that she almost grabbed Lin Yihang's hand.

Her history of menstrual cramps, as Lin Yihang said, had indeed been going on for seven or eight years. Every month, she had to endure unbearable pain, and despite visiting many hospitals, she couldn't be cured. It had almost become a mental burden for her.

"Doctor Lin, please help Xue'er! I'll pay the consultation fee."

Nangong Yiren said this, and Han Xue didn't mind. They were best friends, and in her mind, a consultation fee was nothing.

What she didn't know was that one acupuncture session from Lin Yihang cost a million!

...

The Avenue of Stars is really exciting, and I really want to watch it, but I haven't completed my task, so I can only sit here with 200% determination and force myself to write a chapter... Please give me a recommendation and a pat on the back!
