Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

The members of the Thieves' Sect had already settled in at the Medicine King Sect, but Eric didn't go to visit. After all, he was only acquainted with Wu Yun and had no intention of making friends with anyone else.

After relaxing for two days, he suddenly noticed that the atmosphere at the Medicine King Sect had become serious.

Somewhat surprised, he summoned Juju, who had a good relationship with him. She was the only female among the direct disciples of the Medicine King Sect's sect master. He asked, "Senior Sister, what's happening?"

Juju hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not hide anything and said, "Young Master, our sect master has encountered a difficult illness!"

Eric was slightly taken aback and asked, "Is it the patient sent by the Thieves' Sect?"

"Yes."

What kind of injury or illness could it be that even the foremost medical experts of the current era found difficult to handle?

Eric was curious and somewhat worried. He asked Juju to lead the way, as he wanted to go and see for himself!

Normally, unrelated people were not allowed to enter the diagnosis hall, but as the young master and young mistress of the Medicine King Sect, Eric, Tan Ailing, and Tang Feiyan were naturally exceptions.

When they arrived at the ward, which was equivalent to an inpatient department, they happened to see Eric Yun walking out of the room with a shaking head and a look of despair, holding gold needles.

Seeing the three of them, Eric Yun was slightly stunned. Then, he glared at Juju with a red face and said, "Eric, daughter-in-law, you're here too..."

Eric nodded. After Juju left, looking a bit frightened, he got straight to the point and asked, "Grandfather, is the patient from the Thieves' Sect in a serious condition?"

"Yes!" Eric Yun sighed and said, "The patient has a strange internal injury, with a Qi flow wandering between the meridians, heart, and lungs. Judging from its nature, it should belong to the Western-style Qi, but there are some strange changes. Neither medicine, stones, nor gold needles can remove it! This time, I've lost all face..."

Tan Ailing couldn't help but ask, "Grandfather, can't we find an internal martial arts expert to draw out the Qi?"

"That's the strange thing about that Qi!" Eric Yun sighed again.

"I've seen the Western-style Qi before; it's somewhat similar to our hard Qigong, straightforward. However, the Qi inside the patient's body changes unpredictably and is unusually stubborn. Its insidiousness surpasses some of our more vicious internal martial arts. The Qi is like a living thing. Once an outsider's internal force enters the body, weaker forces will cause it to backlash, while stronger forces will evade. Whether it's backlash or evasion, the patient will suffer immensely when it's active..."

"Such a sinister Qi?" Tang Feiyan was amazed and admiring. "The injured member of the Thieves' Sect is truly formidable to endure such inhuman pain for a long time..."

"You misunderstand, Second Daughter-in-law!" Eric Yun shook his head.

"The Qi doesn't usually act up. It only causes immense pain when it's influenced by external forces like medicine, stones, acupuncture, or internal force!"

Tan Ailing furrowed her brows and asked, "Grandfather, as long as the patient doesn't use their internal force, are they just like ordinary people?"

"Even worse than ordinary people!" Eric Yun sighed.

"The Qi wanders between the heart and lungs. Even if the patient doesn't use their internal force, they will still be affected, coughing from time to time, showing signs of weakness and deficiency!"

After thinking for a moment, Eric asked, "Grandfather, is the patient available now?"

Eric Yun nodded, "I just finished giving him acupuncture, and he had a severe bout of pain. He's resting now. Do you want to see him?"

Eric nodded and said, "Let's see if my abilities can be effective, we can't let the Medicine King Sect lose face!"

With a flash in his eyes, Eric Yun, silent, led Eric and the others back to the ward he had just left.

Two young men were sitting outside with furrowed brows. When they saw Eric Yun, they stood up and saluted.

Their eyes lit up when they looked at Eric and the others.

Eric Yun nodded slightly and did not stop to introduce Eric and the others. He hurriedly lifted the curtain and entered the inner room.

Inside, an ordinary old man who was twisting a towel was startled when he saw Eric Yun. He quickly asked, "Old Sect Master, do you have any other instructions?"

"Master Fan, my grandson wants to see your disciple!"

"Your grandson?" Master Fan's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Is it the one named 'Eric'?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Master Fan was almost in tears of joy. He grabbed Eric's hands and said, "Please save Yun'er..."

He was not to blame for being so excited, because he knew Eric was the "Living Buddha" of Sakya.

Although his status in the lower five sects did not qualify him to attend Eric's succession ceremony, their intelligence system was comprehensive enough not to miss such major news! In Master Fan's opinion, the Living Buddha possessed "great supernatural powers" and could cure his beloved disciple!

"Let me have a look first!" Eric responded to Master Fan and looked at the bed. However, what he saw made his eyes widen.

Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan also exclaimed in unison, "Wu Yun!"

Yes, lying on the bed was Wu Yun, who had recently been in France. At this moment, he no longer had his former vigor, lying on the bed with closed eyes, pale-faced and sweating profusely.

Eric Yun and Master Fan looked at each other and asked in unison, "Do you know each other?"

Nodding, Eric replied in a deep voice, "Grandfather, do you remember me mentioning my good friend from the Thieves' Sect?"

Eric Yun suddenly realized, "It's him?"

"Yes."

Master Fan did not expect his beloved disciple to have a relationship with the young master of the Medicine King Sect and the Living Buddha of Sakya, and even be "good friends." This made him feel extremely proud.

If it were his usual behavior, he would laugh heartily three times and then somersault dozens of times in excitement.

However, his beloved disciple was still lying in the hospital bed, so he didn't have the mood for it. He just said excitedly, "It's Yun'er's good fortune to have a good friend like you. Please, out of your friendship, save him..."

"Don't worry, Master Fan! Wu Yun is my good friend, and I will do my best!" Eric said politely. "Also, please don't use honorifics when speaking to me. Starting from Wu Yun, I am also your junior. Just call me 'Eric'!"

Rubbing his hands, Master Fan said with excitement and some humility, "But how can..."

"What's not possible..." Eric decided for him, "It's settled!"

Master Fan glanced at Eric Yun and, seeing that he did not object, immediately smiled and said, "Okay then, Eric..."

Eric walked to the bedside and asked Master Fan, "What's the matter with Wu Yun?"

Understanding the meaning behind the question, Master Fan immediately replied, "Yun'er used a secret method of our Thieves' Sect to enter a deep sleep state, avoiding the pain of treatment!"

Eric nodded and asked, "When will he wake up?"

"In about twenty minutes!"

Eric did not speak anymore, quietly observing the Qi in Wu Yun's body with his "True Sight," and carefully analyzing it with his mental power.

Although Eric's persistent focus on his beloved disciple puzzled Master Fan, he was sure that Eric would not harm Wu Yun. So, he didn't say much and picked up a towel to continue wiping the sweat from Wu Yun's face.

After more than ten minutes, Eric sighed deeply. Eric Yun immediately asked, "How is it, Eric? What did you find?"

"It's indeed a strange Qi!" Eric's mouth curled up into a smile. "Fortunately, I can handle it!"

When Eric said the first half of the sentence, both Eric Yun and Master Fan were somewhat disappointed. But when they heard the second half of the sentence, they were both stunned. It took them a while to react, and the latter asked in a stuttering voice, "Eric... what did you say?"

Tang Feiyan was amused by Master Fan's expression and said with a smile, "Master Fan, Eric said he can cure Wu Yun's injuries!"

"Is that so? That's great, that's great..." Master Fan was so happy that he didn't know what to say.

Eric Yun felt very proud of Eric and chuckled, "Eric, do you need to prepare anything in advance?"

Shaking his head with a smile, Eric said, "No need."

With these words, not only Master Fan but even Eric Yun could not wait any longer. They both urged, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and treat him..."

"Let's wait for Wu Yun to wake up first!"

"Why?" This time, not only the two old men but also Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan were puzzled.

"My method, although it can remove the Qi from Wu Yun's body, it will also remove the internal force he has cultivated... So, I need to consult him first."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent. Even Tang Feiyan, who had just entered the martial arts world, knew the importance of internal force to a martial artist. No one could decide for Wu Yun; it had to be made by him!

Master Fan looked somewhat pained. "Is there no other way?"

Regrettably, Eric shook his head.

However, after thinking for a while, Eric Yun unexpectedly said, "There is a way to preserve Wu Yun's internal force..."

"Oh?"

Facing the inquiring eyes of everyone, Eric Yun said slowly, "If there is someone in this world who can cure Wu Yun's injuries without any side effects, it must be none other than Lin Yujie!"
