Chapter 367 - 367: The First Treatment Has Already Taken Effect
“That would be best.” After saying this, Mu Chengxi carried Wen Xin out of the clinic.
Reaching the car, the driver quickly jumped down to open the door for Mu Chengxi, who then got in with Wen Xin. The driver, not daring to look at Mu Chengxi’s expression, drove towards Lanzhi’s direction.
After Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin left, Zhuge Jingming collapsed into a chair, exhausted from the acupuncture session. He now fully understood why his grandmaster had always been supported by his master during Wen Xin’s treatment. Performing acupuncture was indeed physically draining.
The next time he administered acupuncture to Wen Xin, he resolved to be in better physical condition to withstand the demands of the treatment. He took this treatment very seriously.
“Master, Old Master Ling has come. He said he wanted the young lady who visited the clinic yesterday to treat him. He felt a connection with her and would like you to introduce her.”
Yang Lin entered and respectfully informed Zhuge Jingming, also subtly reminding him of Old Master Ling’s status.
“Go back and tell Old Master Ling that the young lady who came yesterday was here for business, not to seek medical advice, nor to take up a permanent position here. Therefore, we cannot offer any treatment to Old Master Ling. I hope he understands.”
Facing the Ling family, one of the top families in the capital, and especially with Old Master Ling himself coming over, Zhuge Jingming should have greeted him personally. However, his physical condition wouldn’t allow it. He planned to visit later with a gift of medicine as thanks.
Yang Lin wasn’t aware of the relationship between Wen Xin and Zhuge
Jingming, but he could tell that Zhuge Jingming’s response was a polite refusal.
“Master, the young lady’s medical skills are impressive. Is she from our Green
Physician Sect? Why haven’t we seen her before? Is she your close disciple?”
If she was Zhuge Jingming’s close disciple, it would make sense that they hadn’t met her, and her impressive medical skills would be understandable.
Having recovered a bit, Zhuge Jingming looked at Yang Lin and chuckled lightly. “Her? I wouldn’t dare claim such a connection. Just remember, she is someone our Green Physician Sect must respect. As for the rest, you’ll find out her identity in time. Now, go and relay my message to Old Master Ling as I told you.”
Seeing Zhuge Jingming’s respect for Wen Xin, Yang Lin didn’t press further and respectfully left the treatment room.
Yang Lin, following Zhuge Jingming’s instructions, respectfully conveyed the message to Old Master Ling, who responded with a polite smile.
“Well, a gentleman appreciates the virtue of others. Since Master Zhuge is reluctant to disclose the young lady’s identity, please let him know that if he can persuade her to treat me, my Ling family is willing to grant him a favor.”
Old Master Ling, stroking his beard and smiling comfortably, believed his offer was too good to refuse.
After Old Master Ling left, Yang Lin relayed his words to Zhuge Jingming, who sank into thought. He was curious how Old Master Ling had recognized Wen Xin’s medical skills and specifically requested her treatment, which was quite unusual.
After pondering for a while, Zhuge Jingming realized the gravity of the situation, especially involving Old Master Ling of the Ling family, a figure not easily provoked by commoners like him.
He picked up his phone and called Mu Chengxi. The phone nearly disconnected before Mu Chengxi answered in a cold tone that could chill anyone.
“What’s the matter?”
“There is. Old Master Ling just came by, wanting the Little Uncle-Master to treat him. I’m not sure how he knew of her medical prowess, but I’m concerned it might trouble her, so I’m hoping you can help resolve this.”
Knowing the close relationship between the Ling and Mu families, Zhuge Jingming believed Mu Chengxi could easily handle this.
Old Master Ling’s offer was too significant to be greedy for, so he preferred not to get involved with the Ling family’s matters.
“I understand. I’ll take care of it. If anyone from the Ling family comes to your clinic again, let me know. I’ll deal with it.”
Mu Chengxi, holding Wen Xin in his arms, hung up the phone and looked down to meet her bright eyes. He smiled gently at her.
“Have you fully awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
“No…” Wen Xin shook her head while resting in Mu Chengxi’s embrace. “I just feel a bit weak. You don’t have to worry. Treating this condition isn’t something that can be done in a day or two. I didn’t treat it before because it was too time-consuming. Now that I have some time this month, I’ll properly undergo treatment. Maybe I’ll start to get better.”
Seeing Wen Xin’s pale face, Mu Chengxi tenderly kissed the top of her head. “Seeing you like that scared me to death. You should have told me beforehand.”
Wen Xin sat up in Mu Chengxi’s arms, leaning lazily against him, her head on his shoulder. “I didn’t expect it to be so intense, but it does seem to be effective.
Wen Xin lifted her hand to grasp Mu Chengxi’s. He felt the warmth in her palm and looked at her in surprise. “Is this the result of the treatment?”
“It should be. I thought it would take several sessions to feel anything, but after the first treatment, my palms are already warm. It seems it will be effective soon. ”
Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand tightly, still concerned about her current weakness. “I’ve told Zhuge Jingming that the next treatment will be at our house. You might catch a cold like this… I’ll arrange for the driver to pick him up.”
“That’s good. I just heard you mention the Ling family to Zhuge Jingming.
What’s going on with them?”
“Zhuge Jingming said Old Master Ling wants you to treat him. I haven’t heard about the old man having any health issues. I’ll call Ling Yichen. Don’t worry; it won’t cause any trouble for Zhuge Jingming.”
Mu Chengxi gently enveloped Wen Xin in his embrace, one hand softly squeezing hers, allowing her to rest against him. “Sleep a bit more. When we get home, I’ll carry you upstairs.”
“Okay, I’ll sleep a bit more.” Wen Xin felt exhausted, wondering if being with Mu Chengxi had made her lazy.
The car stopped in the underground parking lot of Lanzhi. Mu Chengxi carried Wen Xin upstairs, and she didn’t wake up even as he changed her into pajamas.
Seeing Wen Xin’s complexion return to a healthy glow, Mu Chengxi’s anxious heart finally relaxed. He covered her with a blanket and went into the study..
