Chapter 479 - 220: Isn’t This Blessing Ritual Way Too Simple? (Part 3)
...
Chen’s Parking Lot, where Zheng Ruikai’s luxury car and ambulance also stopped.
After getting out of the car, Dr. Zhao Xing boarded the ambulance to check on Mr. Zheng Aiguo, the elderly gentleman. Inside, the ambulance was equipped with many instruments, all available for Mr. Zheng Sr.’s use.
Mr. Zheng Aiguo, when helped out of the car, also remarked, "The air at Chen’s is very fresh!"
Zheng Ruikai naturally noticed this as well. In Qingmin City, he had never seen a place with such good air quality.
Chu Ping emerged from another vehicle, saying, "Mr. Zheng, sir, Patriarch Chen has already arranged the blessing ceremony. We can head straight over."
"Thank you," responded Zheng Aiguo.
Zheng Ruikai, still supporting his father, followed Chu Ping inside Chen’s premises.
It wasn’t long before the group encountered a surprising scene—a man was cursing at the sky, "Damn it, straight into my mouth! What evil have I done, damn it, tell me..."
The man cursed as he wiped his face, then suddenly turned and fell to the ground, a rather comical sight.
Seeing this, Chu Ping whispered, "This guy’s got some issues; maybe it’s a lifestyle problem."
Zheng Ruikai paused, remembering what he’d read online.
It turned out to be true.
Thankfully, their family had a good reputation and hadn’t done anything outrageous, or else he’d probably have been unlucky himself coming here, huh?
Upon bringing everyone to the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall, Chu Ping found Patriarch Chen already waiting.
He quickly greeted, "Patriarch Chen, this is Mr. Zheng Sr., the patient."
Chen Han recognized the elder’s notable identity but remained calm, saying simply, "Come with me!"
"Thank you, Patriarch Chen," Zheng Aiguo nodded.
Zheng Ruikai immediately led his father inside, unperturbed by Patriarch Chen’s demeanor—every extraordinary person had their quirks.
If the blessing could genuinely heal his father, then...
"Shan Xin, kneel on the cushion!" Aunt guided Zheng Aiguo forward.
Meanwhile, Zheng Ruikai and Physician Zhao Xing were led aside by other palace guards.
Chen Han handed the prepared Golden Five-leaf Acanthopanax Wine to Mr. Zheng Sr.: "Sir, this is Blessing Wine. Drinking it will earn you the Celestial Venerable’s favor."
Mr. Zheng Aiguo took the wine and drank it as instructed without asking many questions.
As Chen Han retrieved the cup, Aunt began performing the sacrificial dance for the blessing ceremony, holding a duster.
Her dance flowed increasingly smoothly with the improvement of her health through medicinal cuisine.
Zheng Ruikai and Dr. Zhao Xing watched her dance attentively.
Especially Zheng Ruikai, watching very seriously.
This should be the beginning of the blessing, right?
Just unsure how long it needs to last, and with only the Daoist dancing, it can’t be this simple, right?
The sacrificial dance for blessing didn’t last long. Chen Han placed the cup on the altar table, and after a moment, Aunt stopped her dance and said to Zheng Aiguo, "Shan Xin, the blessing is complete; may the Celestial Venerable protect you!"
Both Zheng Ruikai and Zhao Xing were taken aback by this.
It’s over?
That’s it?
Especially Zheng Ruikai, who had heard Mr. Chu say Chen’s blessing was simple, but he certainly hadn’t expected it to be this simple.
Zhao Xing even felt a bit tongue-tied, questioning whether the Zheng Family had been fooled.
Could jumping like that really cure Mr. Zheng Sr.’s ailments?
You’re joking, right?
He knew how serious Mr. Zheng Sr.’s condition was; if this were effective, he would eat dirt.
Yet, he couldn’t say anything; the Zheng Family being deceived was already embarrassing enough. Speaking out would just be asking for trouble, right?
This was basic humanity and worldly wisdom he understood—so even though knowing the Zheng Family had been misled, he couldn’t show any sign of it, avoiding displeasure from the Zheng Family.
Zheng Ruikai hesitantly stepped forward to ask, "Dad, how do you feel?"
Mr. Zheng Sr., full of surprise, replied, "I feel quite comfortable—as if my body has lightened considerably."
"???" Zhao Xing had just silently vowed a ridiculous oath, and upon hearing this, he was instantly dumbfounded.
What?
