The patient this time was introduced by Mr. Meng.
The patient was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was slightly shorter than her peers. She was fair-skinned and had pleasant facial features. She was originally a pretty girl, but her eyes were hollow. There was no expression on her face. She looked wooden, like… a wooden person without a soul.
Other than the girl, there was also a middle-aged man and woman.
The man was tall and powerful, his eyes sharp.
The woman had short hair and looked valiant.
Mr. Meng introduced the two of them to Tang Li first. “Miss Tang, this is Mr. Guo, and this is Mrs. Guo. This young lady is their daughter, Guo Yuting.”
Then, he introduced Tang Li to them. “This is the Miss Tang I told you about.”
“Miss Tang, hello.”
When Mr. Meng came, he must have told them about Tang Li’s age and appearance. When the two of them saw the pretty and young Tang Li, they were not too surprised.
Mr. Guo asked directly, “Miss Tang, I heard from Mr. Meng that you can cure all kinds of difficult illnesses and can use mystic force. Look at my daughter. As long as you can cure her, we’ll agree to whatever price you want.”
Mrs. Guo continued with hope in her eyes, “We brought Yuting to see many doctors. Most of them said that she was autistic, but I can tell that she wasn’t. She wasn’t like this before she was six.”
Suddenly, Mrs. Guo’s eyes turned red as if she was reminded of something awful.
Tang Li had been observing Guo Yuting since she was brought in.
Hearing that, she raised her hand and touched the girl’s head.
Just as she expected, the girl lost a soul, and her consciousness was stripped away.
She withdrew her hand and asked the two of them, “What has she experienced?”
Mrs. Guo covered her eyes and burst into tears.
She sobbed and said, “We only have one daughter. To protect her safety, she has been living in S City with her grandparents since she was born. However, we have too many enemies. A careless mistake ten years ago allowed them to find out about her existence. My parents and daughter were captured by them at that time. They were captured for nearly half a month. During that half a month, my parents were tortured to death, and my daughter…”
At this point, she really could not continue.
Mr. Guo went on, “When we found her, she was lying beside the bodies of her grandparents. At that time, she was covered in blood and surrounded by hungry wolves.”
“Can you imagine how scared and helpless a six-year-old girl was in that situation? After we saved her, she never cried or smiled again. She was just like a wooden doll.”
Mrs. Guo broke down crying as she listened to him describe what happened back then.
Affected By Mrs. Guo, Mr. Guo and Mr. Meng both looked like they were about to burst out crying.
For a moment, the atmosphere became very oppressive.
Tang Li could imagine the pain a five or six-year-old girl would suffer after experiencing those things. She could roughly guess where the girl’s soul was. She sighed and asked, “What’s her nickname?”
The three of them looked at her at the same time, not quite understanding why she was asking this. However, Mr. Guo still said immediately, “Yuting’s nickname is Yuan Yuan. Because she was fair and fat when she was young. This nickname was given by her grandfather.”
Tang Li nodded and raised her hand to stroke Yuan Yuan’s head. After a while, she looked at the couple and said, “Yuan Yuan’s soul has been lost. It should be at the place where you found her years ago. If you want to find her soul, you have to go back there.”
Hearing that, the couple looked at her with their mouths agape.
Tang Li smiled. “Why? You don’t believe me?”
“No, no, no, we believe you,” Mrs. Guo said. “We’ve also consulted with a master before. He said that Yuan Yuan’s soul is gone and disappeared and that there is no way that we can retrieve it.”
They had high statuses, but they were also ordinary parents. After trying all kinds of medical treatments, they started to look for other methods to treat her, so they found many famous masters in this area, but none of them could call her daughter’s soul back.
“Miss Tang, do you have a way to call our daughter’s soul back? As long as you can cure our daughter’s illness, we will agree to whatever you want.”
Mr. Meng looked at the two of them with mixed feelings.
“Let’s forget about money for the time being. When I cure Yuan Yuan, I’ll surely come to you guys for it. Don’t worry, I won’t be unreasonable. I can assure you that you can afford me.”
When Tang Li saw Yuan Yuan, she liked her quite a lot, but she could not bear to see such a little girl become a wooden doll for the rest of her life. Plus, the couple were virtuous people, so helping them could also help her accumulate some merits. However, she did not have a vessel that could store souls now. After some thought, she said, “I’m currently treating my father-in-law’s illness, so I can’t leave Imperial Capital to go to the southwest for now.”
“It’s alright. As long as Miss Tang is willing to treat our daughter, we can wait.”
Tang Li nodded. “Sure.”
Tang Li nodded, and the two of them heaved a sigh of relief. Mrs. Guo seemed to be afraid that Tang Li would go back on her word, so she immediately said, “Then we’ll go and help Yuan Yuan with the hospitalization procedures immediately. I happen to be having a break recently, so I’ll stay here with her.”
Tang Li, “Actually, she doesn’t need to be hospitalized.”
“It’s alright. It’s quieter and safer here. I’m relieved when I’m here.”
Tang Li knew exactly what Mrs. Guo was thinking, so she agreed, “Alright.”
Then, the couple went to settle the admission procedures for Yuan Yuan and left her with Tang Li.
Because Yuan Yuan was missing a soul, she was so quiet that it was as if she did not exist at all. If Tang Li asked her to sit, she would sit.
Tang Li looked at the fair and clean little girl, but she was thinking about where to find a container to store souls.
After she came to this book, she had a hard time finding some useful spirit artifacts.
Mr. Meng, who was sitting at the side, hesitated for a long while before finally saying, “Miss Tang, I didn’t tell you about Mr. and Mrs. Guo’s identities just now. I think it’s best that I tell you. They’re from the Royal family…”
Tang Li looked at him in confusion. What did this have to do with her?
Mr. Meng added, “I’m telling you about their identities because I want to tell you that if you can’t treat this patient, then don’t. They only have one daughter. I can’t bear to see Yuan Yuan’s condition get worse than now.”
“What could be worse than now? Death?,” Tang Li said. “I can treat everyone as long as they are still alive.”
Mr. Meng was actually stunned by Tang Li’s confidence at that moment. He then apologized, “Sorry, I was being dramatic..”
