Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Nan Yan and Hua Shifang, along with others, arrived at the gate of the Divine Physician Sect. As they approached, they noticed a commotion near the entrance. An old man was causing a scene, shouting and gesturing wildly.
As they drew closer, they overheard the old man’s accusations. He claimed that he had been misdiagnosed by the Divine Physician Sect, leading to the ruin of his life. He insisted that he was now suffering from a terminal illness and demanded an explanation from Master Hua himself.
Nan Yan approached the old man and began to assess his condition. She checked his pulse, examined his complexion, and listened to his symptoms attentively. After a few moments, Nan Yan spoke up, her voice carrying across the gathering crowd.
“You’re perfectly alright,” she announced confidently, “you’re just pretending to be sick!”
The old man’s face changed drastically when he heard Nan Yan’s words.
How did she know he was pretending to be sick? Wasn’t it said that even with professional equipment, it wouldn’t detect anything after he took her medicine? The report would only state that he had a terminal illness.
The old man calculated for a while and came to a conclusion: Nan Yan was deliberately deceiving him! She must be connected to the Divine Physician Sect and was saying this to lessen the impact on them. With this thought, the old man slapped his thigh in frustration, feeling like crying.
However, Nan Yan was faster than him. As they conversed, she swiftly pricked a special acupoint on him with a silver needle hidden between her fingers. Then, with a stern gaze, she hypnotized him instantly.
Her hypnosis wasn’t very strong, just at the beginner level, so Nan Yan hadn’t used it much. After all, those who opposed her were not simple, and their mental strength was strong. With her abilities, the possibility of hypnosis failing was high. But this old man didn’t fall into that category.
To ensure the success of the hypnosis, she first lowered his guard and gained his trust by getting close to him. Then, she suddenly exposed his disguise.
Plus, she used a silver needle to prick his head acupoint, adding a quadruple layer of assurance. As a result, this ordinary old man with a weakened spirit didn’t even resist and was easily hypnotized.
“Old man, if you tell the truth now, I can consider not calling the police and letting you avoid jail. How about it?” Nan Yan asked..
