“Yesterday,” said Guo Zhenghe .
“Why didn’t you tell me that you were going to come to Beijing? How long are you planning to stay?” asked Wang Yao .
“It depends . I’ll stay for a week or so,” said Guo Zhenghe . “When are you available?” asked Guo Zhenghe .
“Why?” said Wang Yao .
“Some of my friends are interested in meeting you,” said Guo Zhenghe .
“I’ll see when I’m free,” said Wang Yao with a smile .
He didn’t want to meet with any youngsters from rich families .
“Okay,” said Guo Zhenghe .
He didn’t stay for long, and didn’t forget to say hello to Chen Ying, who had been busy doing chores around the house .
Chen Ying came out of the room after Guo Zhenghe had left .
“Mr . Guo seems to be very well informed,” said Chen Ying .
Wang Yao arrived at Beijing two days ago . Only Su Xiaoxue’s family and his aunt knew that he was here . He hadn’t met or talked to anyone else . He didn’t know how Guo Zhenghe knew he was here .
“Well, he knows a lot of people,” added Chen Ying .
Obviously, she didn’t like Guo Zhenghe; she was even a bit scared of him . That was why she didn’t come out of the room until he had left . Wang Yao noticed it . He didn’t know the reason why Chen Ying didn’t like Guo Zhenghe . However, he didn’t ask .
Chen Ying talked with Wang Yao for a while before going back to her room . Wang Yao sat in the courtyard and looked up at the sky by himself until it was past 9 pm . He stood up and walked to the center of the courtyard .
Wang Yao stood in the center of the courtyard . He felt his Qi inside of his body and slowly released his to mingle with the air in the courtyard . His Qi was like a lead, or an inductor . Then he started to be able to feel everything around him, as if the air was solid . He tried to pull the air, which was like soft gauze .
As he moved his hand, the gauze-like air moved with his hand . It became wind .
It started to become windy in the courtyard, making rustling sounds .
Chen Ying looked through the window to watch Wang Yao practice Kung Fu . She thought the way Wang Yao moved his body and hands were weird . She couldn’t find any routine to his movements . The leaves were rustling in the areas Wang Yao’s hands reached . However, the leaves in the distance didn’t move at all .
The wind was caused by Wang Yao’s movements .
Causing wind through movements of arms and legs could be achieved by some Kung Fu masters when the movements were extremely rapid . However, Wang Yao’s movements were slow and gentle . It seemed like Tai Chi, but not exactly . The slow movements still caused the wind to gust around him . This was really significant .
Wang Yao really enjoyed the practice . He didn’t stop until it was midnight . Then he went inside to rest .
The courtyard was full of leaves .
The next morning, it started to drizzle .
The rain was light and cool .
Autumn rain was like silk .
It was nice to have a cup of tea and read a book in such a day, or just do nothing but watch the rain . For some people, it was nice to have a nap in a rainy day .
Wang Yao and Chen Ying went to the facility where Chen Ying’s brother stayed for treatment .
Chen Ying handed Wang Yao an umbrella after they got out of the car .
“Thank you,” said Wang Yao .
As Chen Ying had already contacted the facility, everyone working in the facility was waiting for her . Chen Ying’s brother was a VIP patient . As his family member, Chen Ying paid a considerably high fee every year to support the facility . As gratitude for the amount that she gave for the facility, Chen Ying was highly respected . The manager of the facility would try her best to satisfy Chen Ying’s requests .
“Good morning, Miss Chen . ” The person who welcomed them was a middle-aged woman . She was short and skinny, but was in good spirits .
“Good morning, Ms . Fu,” said Chen Ying .
“I’ve arranged everything . Please follow me,” said Ms . Fu, the facility manager .
Chen Ying and Wang Yao followed her .
“Try to aim accurately this time, don’t go wrong,” said a patient .
“I think we need to change of point of view in the upcoming multi-party talks,” said another patient .
“In a long run, gold will become hard currency,” said a third patient .
“I’ve told you I’m the offspring of the emperor of Tang Dynasty . I have the sword given by Mingcheng Emperor at home,” said a fourth patient .
Wang Yao heard a lot of talking from the patients in the facility on his way .
The contents were colorful and full of imagination .
“Here we are,” said the facility manager .
She took them to a private treatment room . Inside was a young man who looked about 15 years old . He was good-looking . He sat on a chair . His eyes were calm and focused .
“Zhou?” said Chen Ying softly .
“Why couldn’t my Heart-breaking sword beat his Red-sleeve blade?” said Chen Zhoug .
He seemed to be obsessed with Kung Fu .
“What do you think, Dr . Wang?” asked Chen Ying .
“Let me take a look at him . ” Wang Yao walked towards Chen Zhou with a smile .
“Who are you?” Chen Ying’s brother stared at Wang Yao .
“I’m the one who can make you better,” said Wang Yao .
“Can you resolve the alien Qi inside my body?” asked Chen Zhou .
“Yes . Tell you the truth . I know the Kung Fu skills from the Yi-Gin Ching,” said Wang Yao with a smile .
“Impossible! Yi-Gin Ching is the secretive Kung Fu scripture from Shaolin . Only the Shaolin abbots and the Ocean Hall masters could access the Yi-Gin Ching . How did you get the scripture? Who are you? Did you kill Xuanchen?” Chen Zhou’s eyes suddenly became sharp, and he became so different .
“Yes, I killed him,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay, go to Shaolin with me . Tell them the truth, that I’m innocent!” said Chen Zhou .
He suddenly grabbed Wang Yao’s wrist with significant force .
“Are you Nameless South or Saint Sword North?” said Wang Yao .
“What?” Chen Zhou’s facial expression changed again . He looked quite serious .
“What are you?” asked Chen Zhou .
“Who is Chen Ying?” said Wang Yao .
“Chen Ying?” Chen Zhou was stunned by the name . He was lost in his thoughts . “The name sounds so familiar . ”
“Do you have any family members?” asked Wang Yao .
“I don’t have any family members left . They have all died in a fire!” Chen Zhou’s look changed again . He was furious .
“God is so unfair . I became a Kung Fu master but couldn’t exchange my skills for their lives!” shouted Chen Zhou .
Chen Ying looked so worried . She didn’t understand why Wang Yao asked those irrelevant questions nor why her brother was giving even more irrelevant answers .
He lived in his own world .
This was how Wang Yao felt . Chen Zhou lived in a world of Kung Fu, which was complicated but exciting .
“I see,” said Wang Yao with a smile .
Then he suddenly waved his hand . Chen Ying didn’t even see what exactly Wang Yao did before Chen Zhou passed out .
“What?!” Chen Ying held onto her brother who was about to fall .
“Dr . Wang, what did you do?” asked Chen Ying with concern .
“Haha, don’t worry . He’s fine . I just made him lose consciousness temporarily . It would make the treatment more effective . You saw how he was . Given his mental status, I couldn’t treat him when he was alert,” said Wang Yao .
“What to do next?” asked Chen Ying .
“Put him on the bed,” said Wang Yao .
Chen Ying followed Wang Yao’s instruction to put her brother on the bed next to the wall carefully .
Wang Yao went close to check the meridians in Chen Zhou’s head .
“There is some problem in the meridians in his head,” said Wang Yao .
This was the first time he found something wrong with Chen Zhou .
The meridians were not blocked, but distorted .
“Well, it’s strange . How come I didn’t find this last time?” murmured Wang Yao .
He took a closer look at Chen Zhou to confirm he had a problem .
“What is wrong, Dr . Wang?” asked Chen Ying anxiously as Wang Yao looked a bit confused .
“There is some problem . Let me take a look again,” said Wang Yao .
He had another look and found that some delicate meridians in Chen Zhou’s head were also suffering from the issue .
Things would become easier, now that he had found the problem .
Wang Yao started to massage Chen Zhou’s head in an extremely gentle way . He released his Qi into Chen Zhou’s head through massage . He tried to combine his strength and Qi to unblock and reshape the meridians . Of course, the meridians were inside Chen Zhou’s head, so Wang Yao was particularly careful .
It was very quiet in the room, no one dared to disturb him .
Chen Ying held her breath . She could tell that Wang Yao was conducting a special treatment session for her brother .
Chen Zhou started to sweat on his head . His body was shaking slightly .
Chen Ying wiped the sweat off her brother’s forehead . She was clutching her hand anxiously . He was her only family member left in this world . She couldn’t afford to lose him .
After about 40 minutes, Wang Yao moved his hands away from Chen Zhou’s head .
“Well . ” He breathed a sigh of relief .
“Done,” said Wang Yao .
“Finished?” asked Chen Ying .
“I meant today’s session was over . We won’t know the result until he wakes up . He won’t fully recover following one session, though,” said Wang Yao with a smile .
He pressed gently at a few acupuncture points at the back of Chen Zhou’s head while he spoke . Chen Zhou woke up after a few minutes .
“Sis, when did you arrive?” Chen Zhou’s eyes became clear and recognized Chen Ying immediately .
“Where is this place?” Then he noticed he was not in his room .
“This treatment room was arranged by the facility manager, and this is Dr . Wang,” said Chen Ying .
“Dr . Wang just gave you a massage treatment,” added Chen Ying .
“Massage treatment?” said Chen Zhou with a surprise . “I don’t think anyone can cure me . Sis, stop worrying about me and stop paying for me to stay in this fancy facility . Can we change to a different hospital?” asked Chen Zhou .
Chen Zhou was very considerate when he was sober . He didn’t want to burden his sister .
“Dr . Wang is an extraordinary doctor . You need to have faith,” said Chen Ying .
“Okay,” said Chen Zhou . He didn’t have many choices .
“Let me take another look at you,” said Wang Yao .
Wang Yao had a look at Chen Zhou again . He checked his head as well as the other parts of his body . Wang Yao found that in fact Chen Zhou was physically quite healthy . He just had a mental illness .
“Good, you have no issue with physical health,” said Wang Yao .
“I know . I have a mental illness . ” Chen Zhou didn’t attempt to hide his mental problem .
“It will take some time to recover,” said Wang Yao .
He was sure that his Qi worked in treating illnesses . The next step was to cure Chen Zhou’s mental illness .
Wang Yao and Chen Ying had been in the mental facility for the whole morning . An alert Chen Zhou cherished the time with his sister . He was quite talkative . He had lunch with Wang Yao and Chen Ying . He maintained alert throughout the whole morning .
“Remember to ask Ms . Fu to arrange people to observe your brother closely . The staff here need to talk to him regularly to document his psychotic episodes . They need to notify you every time he has an episode,” said Wang Yao to Chen Ying before leaving .
“Okay,” said Chen Ying .
She went ahead to pass Wang Yao’s instruction to Ms . Fu, then left with Wang Yao .
“Dr . Wang, what do you think of my brother’s condition?” asked Chen Ying .
“It’s strange,” said Wang Yao .
