Chapter 633: 419 Silver Needle Detox (Second Update)_2

Mu Lin never expected Gu Muqing and Shen Wei to know each other. Everything that happened today felt like it was destined; and he himself, had become the matchmaker.

From the time she met Tang Qishan in Ming City to now, everything indeed feels like it had been arranged.

His eyelids slightly drooped, his eyes filled with deep thought.

It was unusually slow, after all it was just a small bowl of medicine, yet it took nearly half an hour. Gu Muqing’s hand had almost stiffened, he had to switch hands continuously.

When the last sip of the soup medicine entered Shen Wei’s mouth, Tang Qishan finally sighed in relief, looking to Gu Muqing, "That’s it, thank you, President Gu."

Gu Muqing shook his head, "Given my relationship with Little Weiwei, there’s no need to be so polite." Then, putting aside the tube in his hand, Tang Qishan took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of Shen Wei’s mouth. He then got up, turning to look at Mu Lin.

Mu Lin: "Everything else off, except for the underwear."

Tang Qishan nodded and without hesitation, did as he was told.

He casually took off his coat, as the temperature in the room was a bit high.

Mu Lin took out the necessary items and put them on the table, making his preparations. Two rows of silver needles were laid out there. Afterwards, he turned to Tang Qishan and Gu Muqing, "Please make her sit up straight."

The two complied.

As the silver needles were taken out and sterilized with fire, just when both men thought Mu Lin was going to use them, he dipped them into another bowl. In an instant, the silver needles turned pitch-black.

This was indeed a virulent poison, capable of such transformation in just an instant.

Tang Qishan looked to Mu Lin, astonished, "Miss Mu..." The soup was toxic, so was the same one he had just fed WeiWei!

No wonder Mu Lin had insisted that he administer it instead of drinking it himself; neither Tang Qishan nor Gu Muqing had ever imagined that poison could also be a cure.

Mu Lin gave him a nonchalant glance but did not speak.

Tang Qishan fell silent. He knew one thing, a poison doctor didn’t appreciate doubts or criticisms while treating a patient, otherwise, even if the treatment was half done, she would be unwilling to continue if she likes, leaving you helpless.

Tang Qishan believed that Mu Lin would never harm Shen Wei; as long as he was sure of this, everything else, no matter what he saw, was irrelevant.

Gu Muqing, on the other hand, had never had any doubts from the beginning, appearing very calm.

As for Tang Jun, he was anxiously pacing outside at the moment.

It was taking too long... unbearably long... each second felt like a day, he was itching to rush in.

Why did Mu Lin have people undress to diagnose them?

At first, Tang Jun thought that once the medicine was prepared, all his mother had to do was drink it and she’d wake up. He didn’t anticipate it being so complex.

Time was gradually passing.

Tang Qishan had never seen this method of treating illness before. Mu Lin used the silver needles to channel a full bowl of medicine into Shen Wei’s body. Watching the needles gradually fade from black back to silver, Tang Qishan was so shocked he couldn’t feel anything else.

Rather than channeling the soup medicine, it seemed like he was channeling the poison from the medicine into Shen Wei’s body.

An hour later, Mu Lin removed all the silver needles from Shen Wei’s body.

"Done." A cold, indifferent voice rang out, "You can put your clothes back on now." She looked somewhat pale and weak.

Mu Lin hadn’t exhausted so much energy like this in a long time since she treated Old Master Jing. Being suddenly drained, she was finding it a bit hard to endure.

As it was a one-time event, the consumption was even greater than before.

"Thank you." Tang Qishan expressed his gratitude, then proceeded to help Shen Wei get dressed.

Gu Muqing stood up and walked over to Mu Lin, watching her pallid face that was devoid of color, she asked with concern, "Linlin, what’s wrong?" Seeing her so drained from treating someone made her uncomfortable.

"Sister Muqing, don’t worry, I’m fine." Mu Lin shook her head, "I’m just a little overexerted, I’ll be alright after a rest." To be honest, if she had been this drained when she first descended the mountain, she would have collapsed already.

But it seems, in this not-so-long period of time, she may have actually made some progress. While the training down the mountain wasn’t the same as up the mountain, any progress was good. She didn’t like standing still.

"That’s good then." Gu Muqing felt a bit relieved. However, looking at the faint sweat on Mu Lin’s forehead and her pale face and lips, she was still a bit worried, "Let me help you down to rest a bit." She had heard about the conditions Mu Lin faced when treating her family’s old master. Every time after treatment, she would have to sleep for few hours to recover. Seeing it for the first time, Gu Muqing felt a pang of heartache.

What a paradox. Here was a girl who was obviously good-hearted, but was indifferent towards her tarnished reputation. It was simply helpless.

Mu Lin nodded, and by this time, Tang Qishan had already finished dressing Shen Wei. He looked at her flushed face and a glimmer of happiness flashed across his eyes.

Mu Lin, it was successful, right?

At that moment, he didn’t dare to voice his question.

He got up and went downstairs, leaving Shen Wei to rest in silence. After all this turmoil, she must have been tired.

As the door was opened, Tang Jun rushed in abruptly, nearly colliding with Mu Lin and startling Gu Muqing, who quickly shielded her.

Tang Qishan furrowed his brows at him, "Why the rush?"

"Dad, mom...?" He cocked his head to try and look inside, then turned to Mu Lin, looking at her noticeably weak face. Suddenly, he didn’t dare to ask.

Although he didn’t know why Mu Lin had become like this, Tang Jun’s intuition told him that it had something to do with the treatment of his mother. And he had almost bumped into her just now.

"Let’s go downstairs first and talk about it," said Tang Qishan.
