Chapter 68: A Confirmation

"Oh? Can you really see clearly?" The middle-aged woman couldn't believe it. She looked into the distance and her eyes widened. Her child's words were absolutely true. However, even she struggled to see that far across the street. How could her child see so clearly? Wasn't her eyesight restored? What was happening?

At that moment, the middle-aged woman stood there, gazing at Lin Yu with an incredulous look. This divine healer, with just a few simple actions, had miraculously cured her daughter's long-standing myopia? Was it a coincidence or something more mystical? It was simply astonishing!

In truth, Lin Yu's true marvel lay in healing her daughter's psychological ailment. Sometimes, the visible effects of his treatment were less impactful than those concealed within.

"It's nothing much, just correcting her crystalline lens through acupuncture, restoring its previous curvature via blood flow. The fact that it could be cured was unexpected. Partly, it's luck; luck plays a role here. Secondly, your daughter's eyesight issue wasn't genuine myopia. Her lens was temporarily curved, making it easier to treat. If it were genuine myopia, it would be harder to treat, requiring surgical intervention," Lin Yu humbly explained, attributing part of it to luck while setting up an ambush for the future.

After all, he had just displayed a considerable skill. If word got out that he could instantly cure myopia of over 500 degrees, he'd face an inundation of myopic patients. It would be a nuisance.

Therefore, he was determined to set up an ambush here while downplaying his medical expertise, preventing the two from thinking of him as too miraculous or extraordinary.

"Whether it's true or pseudo-myopia, you're still a divine healer, a divine healer! Thank you, thank you... Nini, quickly, properly thank this gentleman, no, call him uncle..." The middle-aged woman was overwhelmed, repeatedly bowing to Lin Yu. The young girl joined in with her thanks, leaving Lin Yu feeling embarrassed and unsure how to respond, much to the amusement of Zhang Xinran beside them.

"Um, please, hold off on thanking me. We still need to verify one important outcome," Lin Yu helped the two to stand up, stating.

"What outcome?" The middle-aged woman, still in extreme excitement, couldn't process things properly, astonished by the sudden cure of her daughter's myopia.

"The myopia issue is just the tip of the iceberg. Didn't we discuss earlier that your child's psychological shadows resulting from certain events led to mental stress, causing a sharp decline in her math scores? We can verify that now," Lin Yu smiled.

"Alright, alright, verification, we'll verify right away. But, how do we verify this?" The middle-aged woman nodded repeatedly, then scratched her head, unsure how to proceed.

"It's simple, let's do some exercises. Hmm, to ensure a good verification, I suggest not using the recent exam paper. How about this? Little miss, do you have any exercise books or similar materials? Get them out, and let's see how it goes," Lin Yu suggested with a smile.

"Sure, my mind feels especially clear now, and thinking about math doesn't feel like it used to. On the contrary, my long-lost confidence has already returned," the girl said resolutely, raising a fist to encourage herself. Simultaneously, she took out a few exercise papers from her bag. "These are homework sheets given by our teacher. They're of similar difficulty to the exam paper. I haven't looked at them yet; they're for self-practice. Shall I do these instead?"

She seemed eager to verify if she was truly cured. This ailment, neither small nor big, had troubled her for months. For a girl in adolescence, extremely sensitive to everything, this was a catastrophic blow, especially considering her excellent past academic performance. She desperately hoped her grades could return to their former glory.

"Alright, young lady, you go to that shaded bench to do the exercises. Let's have an on-the-spot test. I wish you success," Lin Yu patted her head, smiling.

"No problem, I will definitely succeed. I really feel like everything is different now," the girl rolled up her sleeves, grabbed pen and paper, handed the papers to her mother, and rushed to solve the problems on the bench. This surprised and amused Zhang Xinran. Who would have expected that after Lin Yu's intervention, the girl seemed like a different person?

For Lin Yu, however, she was incredibly surprised. She began to find him somewhat mysterious.

"Hey, can you really heal people? I couldn't tell," Zhang Xinran scrutinized Lin Yu, looking as if she'd seen an alien.

"Whether I can heal remains to be seen. We'll wait for her to finish the exercises before we conclude. Soon, I'll need you to check the papers," Lin Yu shrugged, chuckling.

"Divine healer, what's your name? How should we address you? Oh my, I am so grateful to you. Let's go and have a meal first. I'll get my child's father too. Leaving aside everything else, just for curing my daughter's myopia, I must express my gratitude. Today, I didn't bring much money, but I'll have my child's father bring some soon..." The middle-aged woman held Lin Yu's hand, expressing boundless gratitude. She was now entirely convinced of Lin Yu's abilities.

"Don't call me a divine healer. I just know a thing or two about acupuncture. I'm not that refined. Money? Let's not talk about money. When people come together, it's all about fate. When fate arrives, everything falls into place. If fate doesn't arrive, we might not even exchange a word," Lin Yu gestured with his hands, declining.

"Alright, Master, I've been too worldly. Well, I also need to thank you. Otherwise, I'll feel uneasy," the middle-aged woman seemed to have a knife-like mouth but a tofu-like heart, expressing gratitude while unintentionally elevating Lin Yu's title from "divine healer" to "Master," a higher realm.

"Really need to thank us? Um, big sister, could you please buy two bottles of water? I happen to be quite thirsty. After drinking, that will be your way of thanking me. You need not mention this gratitude again in the future,"

 Lin Yu smiled, suggesting.

"Sure sure sure, I'll go buy water right away, and some for Teacher Zhang..." The middle-aged woman nodded continuously, then hurried off to a nearby drink shop.
