Su Chen was slightly startled after hearing the girl's words, feeling a bit strange because most people would be eager to hear that they weren't sick. Why did this little girl insist she was ill?
"Xiao Xun, uncle won't make a mistake, you really aren't sick."
Su Chen, of course, wouldn't think he had made a mistake. As the "Ghost Doctor", he did have that confidence. If he couldn't even do this much, what right did he have to claim he could snatch people from King Yan?
"No, uncle, I really am sick!"
The little girl shook her head, not swayed in the least by Su Chen's words.
Su Chen found himself even more puzzled and thought the situation was sowhat eerie.
A little girl with purple hair, so young yet stunningly beautiful to the point of bewitching all who saw her, insisted she was unwell although she was perfectly healthy!
"Xiao Xun, how do you know you're sick?"
Su Chen probed.
"The old granny and the uncle said so."
The little girl seed devoid of guile and quite earnestly spoke.
"That must be your granny and uncle's misdiagnosis, don't worry, you are really very healthy!"
Su Chen thought to himself that it must be the influence of her family—apparently, the little girl trusted and relied heavily on those two people.
"Granny and uncle wouldn't be wrong!"
The little girl lifted her head, her eyes brimming with an unquestionable certainty that reflected the stature the granny and uncle held in her heart.
"Xiao Xun, you should head back now. You must have walked a long distance to co here."
Su Chen spoke, as he continued to tidy up the things on the table, thinking that without a doubt the girl had no problems—wasn't this just a waste of ti?
"Oh."
The little girl's eyes dimd slightly as she turned and started to walk back, her small figure looking lonely against the vastness of the grassy expanse.
"Wait!"
Su Chen called out, his heart inexplicably filled with compassion and distress at the sight of the little girl.
The little girl turned her head at the shout, a puzzled look on her face.
"Xiao Xun, maybe uncle made a mistake just now. Let take a closer look this ti," Su Chen beckoned to the little girl with a smile.
A trace of joy appeared on the little girl's face, and she hurried back to Su Chen, sitting down across the table from him.
"Xiao Xun, give your hand to uncle," Su Chen said with a gentleness he had never used before.
He didn't know why, but he instinctively felt a sense of pity and heartache for this little girl.
Hearing the request, the little girl imdiately extended her fair but slender arm.
Su Chen smiled and placed two fingers on her pulse. In truth, with his dical skills, he didn't need to feel her pulse at all.
But since the little girl insisted she was sick, Su Chen decided to be thorough. He wanted to see what, if any, the problem with the little girl was.
However, as soon as his two fingers touched the smooth skin of the girl's wrist, a surge of energy struck him, forcefully snapping his fingers away!
Su Chen was imdiately horrified, staring dumbfounded at the little girl in front of him!
"What's wrong, uncle?"
The little girl didn't understand what had just happened and looked at him curiously.
"Nothing, let's uncle check again," Su Chen said.
He had been cavalier before, but now he was extrely serious.
He put his hand back on the girl's pulse, and that energy surged towards his fingers once more.
He had been unprepared before and thus had been snapped away, but this ti he was ready and he wouldn't be caught off guard.
Nevertheless, he could still feel the force of the energy clearly.

Su Chen then released so True Yuan, and after a while, he finally managed to suppress the energy surge a little bit.
After that, Su Chen released so more True Yuan through her wrist into her body to examine her.
He had not expected to be shocked, but upon inspection, Su Chen looked as if he had seen a ghost!
There were few things left in this world that could surprise Su Chen, but at this mont, his heart was filled with imnse horror!
For he sensed a huge energy surge within the little girl's body, extrely pure and rampaging throughout her body!
The energy was very similar to True Yuan, but also seed slightly different; it was sothing Su Chen had never seen before.
Su Chen was filled with shock—how could this little girl's body contain such pure and domineering energy?
She looked to be only about ten years old! It was truly inconceivable!
This must be the reason she had been saying she was ill all the ti, it was hard to imagine the pain she must have endured with such a dominant energy wreaking havoc inside her body?!
"Little Xun, do you feel uncomfortable normally?"
Su Chen asked carefully.
"It's okay, I've gotten used to it."
The little girl said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen felt a sudden sadness, and tears threatened to fall.
Getting used to it, such a lightly spoken set of words, but who knows what ordeals lay behind them for the little girl!
"Co here, Little Xun, co to uncle."
With a smile, Su Chen beckoned, and the little girl, though sowhat hesitant and reserved, walked around the table and ca to Su Chen's side.
"Little Xun, when did you first start feeling ill?"
Even Su Chen was unsure if Little Xun's condition could actually be considered an illness.
"I don't know, I think I've been like this ever since I can rember."
The little girl replied, fiddling her fingers.
"Since you can rember? Isn't that usually around age three or five?"
Su Chen frowned, this was too incredible, where did this energy inside her co from?
"Uncle, can you cure my illness?"
The little girl tilted her head and asked innocently.
Su Chen was at a loss for words; he didn't know if he could cure the little girl, as he had never encountered such a situation before.
But looking at the little girl's innocent face, and her eager eyes, Su Chen ultimately couldn't bear to let her down.
"Little Xun, don't worry, uncle will definitely be able to cure you, but you need to give uncle so ti,"
Su Chen said with a gentle smile.
"Really?"
A tinge of joy appeared on the little girl's face, like she had been given a sweet.
"Really!"
Su Chen decided that he must cure the little girl no matter what, he wasn't sure why, but even though it was his first ti eting her, he felt a close connection to her.
"Little Xun, let uncle walk you ho."
"No need, uncle, I know the way myself."
"It's okay, uncle is free right now anyway."
As he spoke, Su Chen took the girl's small hand and began to walk forward.
This ti, the little girl did not refuse him, perhaps because he said he could cure her.
For so reason, the little girl felt very secure holding his hand, even more so than when holding her grandmother's hand...
