Chapter 540: Chapter 368_2

Mu Lin handed the medicinal herbs to Elder Mei, "Here, these are the two kinds I have; I’ve given you all that I have, but it’s enough for at most five days. This elder here will need treatment almost every other day, until no poison is detected in his body." Mu Lin remembered clearly, her master had taken her down the mountain to a place where they had stayed for more than half a year.

It is to say, it took more than half a year to cure the person back then. However, for this elder in front of her, it would definitely take longer than half a year.

An hour later, the medicine Mu Lin mentioned was ready. One bowl was intended for oral intake, while the rest would be used for steaming, or rather, medicinal steam baths.

Her master once told her, if certain toxins could not be removed from the body, they needed to be released from within. This was the most common method of detoxification, sweating it out. Combined with acupuncture, it would gradually treat his condition.

"Remember these points here, don’t insert the needles too hard, otherwise it could lead to fatal injury," Mu Lin instructed as she performed acupuncture, providing Mei Qingyuan with a clear view of her technique and demonstrating how it should be done.

Step by step, Mu Lin explained in great detail.

Mei Qingyuan expressed his astonishment. He had never known that acupuncture could be used in this way. The spots that were usually extremely dangerous became lifesavers in the hands of Mu Lin.

Time flew unnoticed. During the treatment, Mu Lin, without any hesitation, sent the man out of the room.

Claiming that his presence would distract her and affect the elder’s treatment. If anything were to go wrong with the elder during treatment, he would bear full responsibility.

Hearing this, the man dared not linger in the room any longer. Even though he acted high and mighty in the beginning.

Mu Lin scoffed lightly, he indeed was useless.

"Done." Mu Lin withdrew her hands, "Leave the needles there for half an hour, they can be removed when the steaming is finished."

Mei Qingyuan nodded, looking at Mu Lin in admiration, "Girl, you do have abilities." He felt genuinely humbled.

Mu Lin chuckled and accepted the praise without any objection.

Mu Lin administered a sedative to the elder so he can have a good sleep during the steaming and acupuncture treatment.

When a person is asleep, he is completely defenseless. As a result, all the pores of his body could open up, slowly expelling the toxins. This allowed the elder to have a good night’s sleep while they kept watch over him.

"Lass, are you curious about who he is?" Mei Qingyuan suddenly asked, sitting next to Mu Lin.

Mu Lin shook her head, "No, there’s no need. To me, he is just one of many patients." There was no difference.

Upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, Mei Qingyuan laughed helplessly.

He knew well that this girl was filled with things unrelated to worldly affairs, including her own affairs. Well, since knowing wouldn’t make any difference to her, things might as well stay as they are.

Looking at the elder who was asleep not far away, Mu Lin said out of the blue, "Keep an eye on the man who calls himself the family doctor, if you can."

Upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, Zhou Jiansheng looked at her in surprise, "Why?"

Mu Lin smiled lightly, "Haven’t you noticed? He’s starting to get anxious." She had deliberately put him out so that he doesn’t get any information.

With a thoughtful expression on their faces, Mei Qingyuan and Zhou Jiansheng exchanged a glance as if they understood something, "Alright, we’ll keep an eye on him." They hadn’t expected that Mu Lin, despite only having a single encounter with the man, had noticed so much, things that they had overlooked all along.

It turned out that the people around them were not all on their side!

They wouldn’t take any chances during this treatment.

Half an hour later, the first treatment session ended. The elder was still asleep, and the silver needles were removed and packed away. After saying a few words to Mei Qingyuan and Zhou Jiansheng, Mu Lin left.

Mu Lin had no intention of staying to receive their thanks. She didn’t need it. She had only stepped in to help because of Elder Zhou. However, she did admit that she quite liked the elder. He seemed like an open-minded man.

A few minutes later.

"Don’t let her just slip away next time," the elder’s voice drifted into the ears of the two men. He couldn’t believe that when he woke up, Mu Lin had already left. It was indeed a shame.

After the treatment, the elder could clearly feel a significant improvement. His body felt amazingly relaxed. Mu Lin truly lived up to her reputation as a Divine Doctor.

The elder chuckled. He wondered when he would see this delightful girl again.

After hearing the elder’s words, the two men nodded.

Though they agreed, they knew well enough that they could not hold back Mu Lin. If they had had that ability, they wouldn’t have allowed Mu Lin to be taken away from them in the first place.

Even thinking about it now filled their hearts with regret.

Finally, they informed the elder of what Mu Lin had warned them about before leaving. The elder appeared slightly surprised at first, then nodded in agreement, promising he would be cautious and get someone to investigate.

In fact, he already believed Mu Lin’s words.

So, the fate of that man was beyond a doubt.
