Chapter 283: Chapter 218 - How About Trading Lives? (Part 1)_2

As for those around them, they watched Mu Lin as if purely to enjoy the spectacle, considering him quite attractive, but perhaps he was overly confident; even if he did understand Chinese Medicine, it wouldn’t be much use. At most, it was bold and reckless.

However, hearing Mu Lin’s words, a woman intervened, "Don’t stop her, she is... Mu Lin." She was taken back, a mini divine doctor, she had finally met her again.

She still carried that cold appearance, yet remained so beautiful.

What!?

Hearing the woman’s words, everyone looked startled for a moment. The next moment, they finally remembered who Mu Lin was.

The miniature divine doctor, can’t believe she’s on this plane! What an incredible coincidence.

In the past, many people knew of Mu Lin only by name, not by sight. Upon meeting her today, they finally understood why people called her the Mini Divine Doctor. She was simply too young.

Looking at her, ordinary people would find it tough to associate her with the reputation of a Divine Doctor- it was exactly like their earlier doubt.

...

"You are the mini Divine Doctor." A man and the doctor stared at Mu Lin in utter shock, unable to regain their composure.

Is... Is this for real?

However, Mu Lin’s words were extremely cold.

"This title has nothing to do with me." She chuckled at the Divine Doctor title... she was a doctor, but certainly not the divine; a divine doctor... she scoffed... was merely a joke.

Although she had heard this title so many times, Mu Lin would never admit to it.

Looking at the indifference in her eyes, the man felt a slight tremor in his heart. In her eyes, he could only see her cold detachment, making him ponder on what life truly meant to her.

"How is my father?" Not wasting a moment, the man inquired Mu Lin urgently; and he felt his heart filled with great joy upon learning Mu Lin’s identity.

Sadly, Mu Lin’s response was nothing more than a curt, "It’s nothing." She knew they wouldn’t understand even if she explained. Therefore, why should she waste her breath.

"What..." Hearing this, the man was left lost for words for a moment.

"Doctor Mu." The man changed his address, as if he knew Mu Lin was not fond of that title. "Please, help my father."

"What about my compensation?" Mu Lin asked calmly, making no move to proceed. The silver needle in her hand had already quietly laid back to its spot, which made the man lose his words.

Just a few moments ago, she was ready to help, yet now...

Before the man could react, some bystanders started to meddle in the matter.

"People are about to die, and you’re still thinking about a reward, what’s the point?"

"Yes, at least save the person before thinking about anything else."

"I thought she was ready to help just now, was that just for show?"

"A divine doctor huh, seems more like a plague doctor to me."

"Why not, come over here, I don’t mind." Mu Lin coldly retorted to the indifferent comments from the bystanders, her icy eyes sweeping over the onlookers.

The onlookers replied, "We don’t understand medicine."

"If you don’t know anything, then shut up." Her icy voice, coupled with the sudden chill in the air, made the onlookers shut their mouths, they could only stare at Mu Lin in sheer horror.

That was really... scary just now!

With a cold huff, Mu Lin had no interest in giving them any further attention.

...

"Just now, I was willing to help on my own accord. Since it was because of Qiaozi that I was willing to do it, it doesn’t require any compensation. However, you... you stopped me." Looking at the man, the curve of Mu Lin’s mouth lifted slightly, "And now, you are pleading with me." There is a distinct difference between the two situations.

If they wanted treatment, they should at least look like they were seriously asking for it.

"What payment do you want?" The man asked, looking at Mu Lin.

"That depends on how much you are willing to offer." Mu Lin said, she never concerned herself with the nature of the compensation. Money, she had plenty; people, events, items that interested her, she loved them the most.

"I don’t have much on me at the moment, but I can assure you, as long as you save my father, I can provide any form of compensation." He had no idea what Mu Lin was thinking at the moment.

"Unfortunately, I don’t believe in promises." Mu Lin toyed with the silver needle that somehow returned to her hand. She still carried that indifferent look without any emotion. However, the next moment, her demand shocked the man even more.

"What about a life for a life?" As she said this, her expression remained unchanged, "Trading your life for your father’s life wouldn’t be a bad bargain."

What a ridiculous bargain!

Everyone present finally got a chance to see the bizarre temper of the legendary Mini Divine Doctor; one moment he was taking the initiative to help, the next moment he was demanding a life for a life.

Could a real doctor really do such a thing?

All the people present were sure the answer was a definite no. However, this was exactly what was happening right in front of their eyes.

Finally.

"Okay! I’ll trade." After a long pause on his father’s body, the man finally looked at Mu Lin, his eyes resolved and unwavering.

Hearing his agreement, Mu Lin chuckled, "Are you sure you won’t regret it?" She continued, "Don’t forget, even if we save your father now, he doesn’t have many years left, and you... You’ve only just started."

"I’m sure." He replied to Mu Lin without any hesitation.

"Alright." Mu Lin nodded, "If that’s the case, then I’ll grant your wish."
