Chapter Thirty-Six: Xiao Tianyan's Sudden Appearance

  Today was Ye Nan's shift again, but since it was Sunday, there were fewer patients and it was relatively relaxed. After the others finished their rounds, they didn't have much to do, so they left Ye Nan and Hong Chi on duty and went on holiday.

  Hong Chi went to the outpatient department, Ye Nan was alone in the office with nothing to do, until after 10 o'clock, still no hospitalized patients had been received.

  Ye Nan was listlessly switching channels on the TV with the remote control, but there really wasn't any attractive program. Finally, he stopped at CCTV-3, which was rebroadcasting a party that night. Ye Nan liked Wang Leehom who was enthusiastically singing an old song on it.

  Ye Nan closed her eyes and softly hummed along with Wang Leehom's voice: "Black hair surrounds a circle, singing all the thoughts..."

  As Ye Nan gradually entered a state, a light "tap tap" knocking sound came from the door.

  Ye Nan opened his eyes and looked over, a woman in her thirties with a child of around ten years old standing at the door. Ye Nan nodded to her and smiled lightly, asking: "Please come in, what's going on?"

  The woman looked quite young, with delicate features, curly hair, light makeup, and a pale white suit, looking like a standard white-collar worker. She brought the child in, smiled at Ye Nan, and handed her the hospital admission notice, saying: "My child hasn't been eating well for the past few days, I want to bring him here for some injections."

  Ye Nan took a look at the notice, "Li Xiaoyang... fourteen years old, autism?" Ye Nan subconsciously glanced at the child beside the woman. The first impression was that he was a very handsome boy with black shiny hair, long eyelashes and a pair of beautiful eyes under them, a straight nose bridge, and slightly upturned lips. He had obviously inherited his mother's genes and belonged to the type that little girls liked.

  His complexion was slightly pale, and his eyes, except for a faint glimmer when looking at Ye Nan, were as still as stagnant water, obviously lacking the usual vitality of a normal child.

  Ye Nan took a look at this child and suddenly had a very strange feeling, there were some strange fluctuations on the child's body, which seemed to be spiritual power fluctuations.

  He couldn't help but furrow his brow, and unconsciously closed his eyes to probe with his spiritual sense. Indeed... this boy had a familiar yet unfamiliar fluctuation of spiritual energy, mainly concentrated between the child's eyes and forehead.

  "Tianyan... gathering the harmony of yin and yang, benevolence to all under heaven" Ye Nan suddenly blurted out this phrase! He didn't know why he would suddenly think of this, but based on past experience, it was definitely for a reason. A faint, inexplicable smile appeared on Ye Nan's face, this child is not ordinary...

  Li Xiaoyang's mother looked at him with a somewhat strange gaze, Ye Nan hastily smiled and nodded: "Alright, no problem, please wait for a moment, I'll go arrange a bed for Xiaoyang."

  After that, she went to the nurse's station and arranged for a single room. Then she took the two of them to the ward, asked about their situation briefly, and did a physical examination. Fortunately, everything was generally fine, just slightly malnourished.

  "After checking, he smiled and said to Li Xiaoyang's mother: 'Generally speaking, everything is fine, just a bit malnourished. Please come to the office, I'll ask you some more questions.'"

  In the office, Ye Nan asked Xiaoyang's mother: "When did Xiaoyang start showing symptoms of autism?" "It was probably around 8 or 9 years old..." Xiaoyang's mother slowly told Ye Nan the whole situation from beginning to end.

  It turned out that Li Xiaoyang had been saying since he was a child that he could see all sorts of strange people, and at first, it scared his family members. His grandfather and grandmother took him to various temples to worship gods and Buddhas, many of whom were said to be very efficacious Daoist priests and temple fairies, who claimed that Xiaoyang was born with a yin-yang eye and couldn't change it, and there were also many people who wanted to take Xiaoyang as an apprentice.

  But the family couldn't bear to send their child to a temple like that, so they found many mental health experts, who all said it was a hallucinatory disorder. They took medicine for a while and got better, but as soon as they stopped taking the medicine, the situation would happen again.

  And in recent years, the medicine has also become less effective. As Xiao Yang grew older, he was quite lively as a child, but later felt that he was different from other children in many ways, becoming more and more introverted, and gradually not speaking much at all. After seeing experts, they all said it was severe depression, with a tendency towards autism, but taking a lot of medicine had no effect.

  Especially in the past half month or so, Xiaoyang has not spoken to his family members and has not eaten much. He is getting thinner and thinner, so I thought of bringing him to the hospital for some nutrient injections."

  At this point, Xiaoyang's mother was already choked with sobs. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and continued: "I took him to several hospitals, but he said there were many strange people inside and didn't want to go in. I wasn't at ease taking him to a small clinic either, so we had no choice. Later, I heard that your hospital was newly built, so I brought him here specifically to take a look. Xiaoyang said it was very quiet here and there were no strange people, so he agreed to come in."

  With tears in her eyes, she looked at Ye Nan and asked: "Please, doctor, take good care of him. My child is a bit introverted, just supplement his nutrition, I don't ask for anything else."

  Ye Nan smiled and nodded: "Don't worry about this, I'll arrange it properly. You go accompany Xiaoyang first, the nurse will come to give an injection later."

  Xiaoyang's mother thanked her and left.

  The nurse came in and handed him the medical order, asking: "What medicine should this child take first? Do we need to draw blood?" Ye Nan thought for a moment: "Let's start with an amino acid infusion, draw some blood for a routine test, E4A, ask the patient if they've had breakfast, if not, add a liver function test."

  After finishing the doctor's orders, Ye Nan's mind kept circling around that one sentence: "Tianyan, Huitong Yinyang, Ling She Tianxia..." What does it mean? Huitong Yinyang is easy to understand, but what about Ling She Tianxia...

  This sentence kept swirling in Ye Nan's mind all day long, until evening....

  Recently, Fang Wei has started to train Ye Nan in basic combat skills in addition to physical training. In the days of training with Ye Wei, Ye Nan's physical strength has improved significantly. Through these days of training, his body shape has become more even, and the slight excess fat on his abdomen has disappeared, replaced by six hidden strong abdominal muscles. His limbs have also become much stronger, and he looks more handsome and slender than before. His temperament has also undergone a significant change, with a lot more sunny aura.

  Ye Nan and Fang Wei fought for a while, until Fang Wei's side kick hit him right in the chest again, and he fell onto the mat with another loud thud. Fang Wei took off his protective gear, sat down beside him panting slightly, and smiled: "You little scamp is making rapid progress, now you can last several minutes under my hands, not bad, not bad."

  Ye Nan lay on the mat, panting heavily, and after a while, he said in a disjointed tone: "If I'm still not making progress even with your gentle guidance, then I don't want to continue." After speaking, he made an effort to remove his headgear, sat up, wiped away the sweat from his forehead with a towel, and drank half a bottle of water. He smiled and said: "Looking at my current situation, I'm not far from my original goal, am I?"

  Fang Wei thought for a moment about the 1-to-3 goal that Ye Nan had set at the beginning, and smiled: "Based on the current situation, you can handle two or three ordinary people without any problem. To reach your original goal, it's almost there in another month or so. However, you can't be satisfied with this, as this only refers to those who haven't received formal training... If you were to encounter someone like me, even if you had a few more, it would still be useless. So take advantage of the fact that I have time now and suffer a bit more, learning something is never a bad thing."

  Ye Nan nodded thoughtfully and gritted her teeth, responding: "Alright, anyway we've already been through so much hardship recently, so I'm not afraid of suffering a bit more. Don't hold back, go ahead and teach me ruthlessly."

  "Alright, with your words I can rest assured. The young one is ready to continue suffering... Hehe." Fang Wei smiled and patted Ye Nan's shoulder: "Let's stop here for today, we'll continue tomorrow."

  Ye Nan had taken a bath and touched his chest, which was still slightly sore. He thought about the hardships of the past few months and felt that it was all worth it.

  Gradually thinking and entering the dream world, in the past month, Ye Nan has learned about twenty medium to low-grade talismans. Today, Lao Dao appeared on time in his dreams again, but he didn't teach any talismans today. Instead, he explained a sentence that had been lingering in Ye Nan's mind all day: "The Heavenly Eye is the innate spiritual eye of heaven, gathering the yin and yang energies of heaven and earth, communicating with yin and yang. If cultivated properly, it can intimidate ghosts and demons, dispel evil spirits, and break through all laws..." He also explained the cultivation method and restriction method: "The Heavenly Eye uses the Gathering Spirit Technique to absorb spiritual energy, passing through the Purple Mansion to the Seal Hall, then dividing and gathering in both eyes. After a long time, all laws will be broken... The sect's forbidden divine talisman can seal its spiritual energy, isolating yin and yang, but the practitioner's spiritual power must be stronger than their own innate spiritual power. Moreover, the restriction's effect is short-lived; the stronger the spiritual power, the shorter the duration..."
