Chu Liuyue seemed to sense something as she looked up and glanced at him. She then smiled and asked, “Fourth Young Master, is there something wrong?”
Looking into that pair of clear eyes, Lin Zhifei retracted his gaze and lightly shook his head. “Nothing much. Ms. Dugu, I have to trouble you with my health in the coming days.”
Chu Liuyue smiled with deep meaning. “Fourth Young Master, you don’t have to be polite.”
Then, she walked over and wanted to take Lin Zhifei’s pulse. “Before I refine the medicine, I want to see how your body is doing, Fourth Young Master.”
Lin Zhifei stretched out his hand and gently pulled on his sleeves that were embroidered with bamboo leaves, revealing his white and thin wrist. One could even see the veins on it.
Chu Liuyue raised her hand.
At the side, Lin Tianfeng suddenly handed a handkerchief over and wanted to place it on his son’s wrist. However, Lin Zhifei glanced up at him and lightly said, “Thank you, Father, but we don’t need this in the future since I’ve already agreed to let Ms. Dugu help.”
Lin Tianfeng was dazed, and shock flashed across his eyes. He said… no need? Hasn’t he always hated people touching him?
This was because someone had once disguised as a heavenly doctor and taken action against him while taking his pulse. Ever since then, Lin Zhifei had been very careful about this.
But now… He really trusts this Dugu Yue so much? Even though Lin Tianfeng found it weird, he didn’t continue and put away the handkerchief upon seeing his son’s calm expression. “Okay! Okay then… Ms. Dugu, please go on!”
As if unable to see the interaction between the father-son duo’s gazes, she smiled slightly and stretched her hand over to take his pulse.
Compared to yesterday, Lin Zhifei’s aura was obviously stronger. Even though he still couldn’t be compared to normal people, he was much better than his initial condition.
Chu Liuyue nodded and injected a wave of force into his body! Then, she followed yesterday’s procedure again.
Lin Zhifei looked like he was enduring the pain; he didn’t yelp at all during the entire process. However, his face became very pale, and many tiny beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, making him look very unkempt.
At the side, Lin Tianfeng watched on as his heart jumped. So Dugu Yue is treating Zhifei in this manner?
Yesterday, he left early and didn’t see. Now that he saw it today, his entire heart was about to jump out from his throat!
There were quite a few times in between where Lin Tianfeng’s heart ached very much. If Zhifei didn’t hint at him to calm down, he would’ve called her to stop.
This time, Chu Liuyue cleared another portion of the weird thing that accumulated on Lin Zhifei’s Yuan meridian. This exhausted a large part of her energy.
When she ended, she sighed deeply. “Okay, I’ll go refine the medicine. Fourth Young Master, you can just recuperate for now.”
Lin Zhifei looked at her expression that was faintly lethargic as he asked, “Ms. Dugu, you seem to need rest as well… My body has been ill for many years, and I can afford to wait this while longer. Why don’t… we continue after you rest, Ms. Dugu?”
Lin Tianfeng also expressed his agreement. “That’s right. Even though I’m not a heavenly doctor, I know that heavenly doctors will use up a large portion of their energy when they refine medicines. Ms. Dugu, you—”
“Thank you for your concern, Master Lin, Fourth Young Master. I know what I’m doing, and I won’t be reckless.” Chu Liuyue stood up and smiled. “I want the refinement to work on the first try more than anyone else, so I’ll make my own preparations. You don’t have to worry, but there’s one thing I need help with. This time, I need approximately one day and one night to refine the medicine. Master Lin, I hope you can guard me.”
If it were someone else, they most likely wouldn’t dare to directly invite Lin Tianfeng to guard them. Normally speaking, only the strongest ninth-grade heavenly doctor in the clan could ask Lin Tianfeng for help.
But facing Chu Liuyue’s bold suggestion, Lin Tianfeng directly agreed without much thinking. “No problem!”
As long as she can treat Zhifei in the end, what does this count for?
“I’ve already told someone to arrange a room for you to refine your medicine; it’s nearby. Also, Ms. Dugu, do you need a cauldron or some sort?” Lin Tianfeng tried to ask. “I have quite a few cauldrons in my Lin family, and they are all beneficial for refining medicine. Ms. Dugu—”
“Thank you for your kind intentions, Master Lin, but I have my own cauldron. Therefore, I don’t have to borrow yours.” Chu Liuyue smiled and politely rejected him.
“Oh… Okay then.” Lin Tianfeng was slightly disappointed. Dugu Yue is from outside the God Residence Realm, so the cauldron she uses won’t be any better. Originally, I wanted to lend her a slightly better cauldron so that she could refine the medicine more smoothly. However, I didn’t expect her not to be very interested in it…
However, Lin Tianfeng knew that heavenly doctors were mostly prideful. Since she had already said this, there was no need to convince her further.
Then, Chu Liuyue brought those herbs and went to the room that was specifically freed up for her to refine medicine.
At the entrance, Lin Tianfeng looked at Dugu Mobao and asked, “Ms. Dugu, since you need to focus on refining your medicine, we’ll take care of this child first, okay?”
Dugu Mobao knitted his brows.
Chu Liuyue hurriedly said, “Thank you, Master Lin, but this child is afraid of strangers. Therefore, he’ll just follow me in!”
Won’t this small child get in her way if he goes in? Lin Tianfeng found it weird. “But—”
“Coincidentally, Big Baby is also starting to learn how to be a heavenly doctor, so it’s fine if he follows me,” added Chu Liuyue.
Lin Tianfeng was stumped. Since he wants to follow his mother to learn, I can’t say anything as an outsider.
At this point, Lin Zhifei spoke from the side. “Since Ms. Dugu insists, then… We’ll do it her way.”
Chu Liuyue then felt assured as she bowed to them and turned around to walk in with Dugu Mobao.
When the duo’s figures disappeared, Lin Tianfeng then looked at his son and sighed deeply. “Zhifei, you seem to trust them very much…”
Lin Zhifei glanced at the tightly shut door and window as an extremely light ripple flickered in the depths of his clear eyes. “She’s just a pitiful woman bringing a child with her.”
Lin Tianfeng felt terrible. He knew that Zhifei thought of himself through them, so he behaved in this manner.
“…Actually, you have nothing to do with what happened to your mother back then. Besides, it has been such a long time. Zhifei, you don’t have to take it to heart…” said Lin Tianfeng rather hesitantly. “Besides, because of you, Yu’er has never wanted a child these few years… Are you still not willing to let go of your prejudice against her?”
Hearing this, Lin Zhifei’s nonchalant expression finally changed. His pale lips curled up as he looked at Lin Tianfeng, an extremely faint smile appearing on his face.
The sun shone down on his face, and it was like a piece of fragile glass that dazzled. “Whatever you say, Father.”
“You—” Lin Tianfeng was stumped and wanted to say something more when he heard a nervous and urgent woman’s voice.
“Master! Something bad has happened!”
