Chapter 484: Chapter 335_2

"I’ve read hundreds of books on medical skills, all precious collections from my master. That’s why I told you not to compare yourself with me. I’ve been introduced to these things way earlier than you." Mu Lin had later learned that what she had seen was vastly different from what others had access to.

High school.

When he first started to become interested in Chinese medicine, Mu Lin recalled, that was the time her reputation was gradually spreading. At that time, her master was still by her side.

Poison! Doctor!

Thinking of Mu Jue, Mu Lin’s eyes soften unintentionally, and in the next moment, a cold light flashes across her eyes unnoticed.

"So that’s it." Xiu Fan was astonished but also found it reasonable. No wonder Dr. Mu’s medical skills were so advanced.

"So, Dr. Mu, is that why you condensed the soup medicine into powder and pill form?" Xiu Fan recollected that Mu Lin had done this earlier. It seemed more akin to western medicine.

"Yeah," Mu Lin nodded, "It’s more convenient to keep on hand. I can use it anytime, anywhere."

"Actually, I think I might have read some of the books you mentioned earlier. However," Mu Lin looked at Xiu Fan, "the books you mentioned, which I explored online, were different from the ones I had read before." Other than some basic information, those books were practically useless.

Mu Lin assumed that those books were pirated and were just misleading the readers.

That’s nothing but true.

"After I went to college, I learned that those books were indeed misleading." How could the content in Compendium of Materia Medica be so simplistic? It’s even less comprehensive than any casual medical books they read in school.

At this point, Xiu Fan chuckled helplessly.

Given the chance, he really would love to see the original versions of those books. But Xiu Fan had heard that those books were now out of print or even non-existent. The books available today were merely re-researched replicas. Did Mu Lin have those original versions?

However, considering Mu Lin’s medical skills, Xiu Fan had completely trusted Mu Lin’s words. To him, Mu Lin was an extraordinary and mysterious figure.

As much as Xiu Fan wanted to read those books mentioned by Mu Lin, he couldn’t bring himself to ask it.

Mu Lin knew what Xiu Fan wanted to ask even if he remained silent. "If there is a chance, I will bring them for you to see." Mu Lin believed that her master will be generous enough to share them.

Her master was such a kindhearted person after all. Mu Lin was often nonchalant about Mu Jue’s nature.

However, when Mu Jue turned serious, she could be a very tough character, especially during Mu Lin’s training. But now, Mu Lin missed those times.

"Really!" Xiu Fan’s eyes sparkled at Mu Lin’s words. He was evidently excited.

The books are at the place where my master and I live. I will go back there no later than next year. I can bring a few books for you then," Mu Lin promised, nodding. "I believe that Meilao and Zhaolao would also want to see them."

Even if she won’t continue living in the Black Forest, she will take some time to go back and spend it with her master, keeping him company, sharing conversations.

"Thank you, Dr. Mu." Xiu Fan looked at Mu Lin, excited just at the thought of being able to read those medical books.

There were no noticeable changes in Mu Lin’s expression, she just calmly suggested, "In return, I will leave the Chinese Medicine Clinic to you. You must help me manage it well." That being said, Mu Lin, honestly, did not mind.

But just because she didn’t care, it didn’t mean Xiu Fan didn’t. Mu Lin had been so good to him, asking him to do things within his capacity. How could he even think about not doing so?

"Yes!" Xiu Fan made a mental vow. He promised to run the business well.

At this moment, neither Mu Lin nor anyone in the clinic knew that the very next day their clinic would be visited by a significant crowd of influential people. That’s when Wang Guozhen would come to know that their sought-after Poison Doctor was none other than Mu Lin.

Unfortunately, by that time, Mu Lin had already left Ming City.

...

It was a frigid night. Only the dimly flickering stars were adding some charm to the evening.

It was already past midnight, around one o’clock.

Opening her eyes, Mu Lin got up and walked to the window barefoot without switching on the light. Her indifferent, cold eyes stared at the neon lights outside.

For some unknown reason, she had been feeling uneasy since the day.

Just then, her mobile phone rang, pulling Mu Lin out from her thoughts. She turned around to pick her phone. It was an unknown number.

"Hello." The moment she answered the phone, her previously indifferent face began to show changes.

Indeed, her uneasiness was justified.

At the same moment, in a jungle, withered trees looked intimidating under the faint light, adding an uncanny aura to the pitch-black night.

"Xigua, I order you to hold on." Jing Chen stared at Xigua, his eyes clouded with an impending storm, "Qiaozi has gone to the border for help, I believe our reinforcement will come soon. Linlin will be here shortly."

"You know Linlin’s identity; once she arrives, your injury will be nothing but a minor wound." Jing Chen was a bit unsure about his feelings at that moment.

Upon hearing Mu Lin’s name, Xigua tried to open his eyes, "Boss, actually, I do want to see the sister-in-law one last time." He still remembered their first meeting, and how astonishing she was.

The only thing he was thinking back then was ’I’ve finally met the Poison Doctor!’
