Cancer is probably just the difference in the tissue density and thickness of the tumor. In fact, not only tumors, but even other substances in the body can create shadows as well.

Now, if he covers his lungs with True Qi, he can definitely cause an illusion of different lung tissue density and thickness, especially since the county hospital’s equipment is not as sophisticated as those in the city or province hospitals.

The car stopped at the county hospital, and they went directly to the relevant department, paid the fee, and requested an X-ray.

There weren’t many patients in the relevant department at the county hospital today, so they arranged for a scan right away after reviewing the case, and scheduled the usual cancer checks.

This kind of situation wasn’t uncommon, but through the case, the doctor felt that this person didn’t need to waste any more money. However, this couldn’t be said, so if the person wanted to be checked, they would be checked, and it would add to this month’s performance.

The doctor did feel that this patient seemed somewhat familiar, like someone they’d seen somewhere before—perhaps someone who had been to the hospital earlier.

Hospital scans can’t be done so quickly, and while waiting, Xiaomi was visibly very anxious.

"Let’s go for a walk, I haven’t gone shopping with you in a long time." Chen Han, seeing her like this, took her hand and led her out of the hospital to stroll around the county’s most famous commercial street.

When women go shopping, they can forget many troubles. Moreover, Chen Han really hadn’t gone shopping with her for a long time, so, unknowingly, two hours passed.

It was only then that they returned to the hospital and collected the report that had just come out. However, Xiaomi pulled him to leave the hospital directly.

"Aren’t we going to see the doctor?" Chen Han asked with a smile. He had already seen the shadow area on the film, and he felt at ease without any pressure.

"We’ll look at it ourselves when we get back. I’ve learned some knowledge on distinguishing shadows, and we can compare it to the one you had in the city before." Xiaomi immediately explained, "If the Celestial Venerable’s blessing is really effective, how surprised would the doctor be if he saw it? Getting to the bottom of it might invite trouble in the future, so it’s enough for us to know."

Chen Han chuckled. Whatever happens, happens, he thought, as long as it would make her less worried in the future.

As Chen Han and Xiaomi rode back to the Chen Family home,

Chen Kai also came out from the county bureau with Ma Qi, finally breathing a sigh of relief after looking at the documents in hand.

He had been working relentlessly to get the other party to agree to send people over to the Chen Family side tomorrow, otherwise, even with the county’s signature, it might take ten days to half a month after going through the process.

"Director Chen, should we drop by the county hospital?" Ma Qi suddenly asked.

Chen Kai naturally knew what he meant; yesterday, the rude person with hemorrhoids was at the county hospital, and the troublemaker from today was also sent there, and word came that he had hemorrhoids too.

Knowing the inside information, he was curious about it and said, "Let’s go take a look."

Once outside, he also made a call to the county hospital.

Upon their arrival at the hospital, a director was already waiting for them. As soon as they met, he said, "Director Chen, the matter you instructed has been investigated clearly. There are two people, and the hemorrhoids are indeed a bit strange. The one who came in yesterday, after surgery, it grew back quickly."

This made Chen Kai glance at Ma Qi, who nodded, indicating that his wife was the same.

Soon, Chen Kai and Ma Qi found themselves outside two hospital rooms, seeing those two people.

Both of them were lying on the hospital beds, unable to move without groaning in pain, crying from the smell.

Seeing this, Chen Kai and Ma Qi recalled the Patriarch Chen’s unwavering belief in science—did he really never feel embarrassed?

The hospital’s director suddenly asked, "Director Chen, I read the news online, and it seems they were disrespectful to the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable at the Chen Family’s place and then punished. Is that true?"

His last query was spoken a bit softer, as if probing for a secret.

Almost instinctively, Chen Kai said, "Director Wu, you’re a doctor, you must believe in science."

Ma Qi echoed, "Yeah, around here, it’s normal for people to have hemorrhoids due to the rainy weather, rural pollen allergies, eating heat-producing foods, or having a fiery temper. Director Wu, as a medical professional, you must stand firm and believe in science."

"..." Director Wu opened his mouth, questioning whether those hemorrhoids were really normal?

Cutting them off only for them to grow back the next day—it’s not normal, right?

It wasn’t scientific, which is why he was asking.

But could he dare say it’s not scientific in front of Director Chen?

If the other party said something in some meeting one day, would he still have his position?

So, wisely, he chose to remain silent.

...

Chen Family.

As soon as Chen Han and Xiaomi got out of the car, Xiaomi led him to her courtyard, entering the room.

The first thing she asked was, "Where’s the X-ray from last time?"

That item was naturally kept in the warehouse, but Chen Han pretended to open the cabinet and retrieved it from the warehouse, handing it to Xiaomi.

Xiaomi, without hesitation, took out the scans from both times and began to seriously compare them. In just a moment, joy appeared on her face, and she excitedly jumped into Chen Han’s arms, "The shadow has really decreased a lot, the Celestial Venerable’s blessing really works."

She was absolutely thrilled, snuggling in his arms, feeling the pressure vividly because of the effect of the Yellow Spirit Melon.

It was a blessing and a curse.

"Chen Han, what if I apprenticed myself to your Aunt and joined your Chen Family to cultivate?" Xiaomi’s sudden remark left Chen Han dumbfounded, looking at her in confusion.

Why did she suddenly want to become a Female Crown?

He couldn’t understand at all.

Seeing him so bewildered, Xiaomi giggled, "Why that expression? I prayed to the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable yesterday, as long as you get better, I am willing to serve the Taoist Sect and become a devotee."
