Chapter 692: Chapter 455 The Mighty Lady (Part 1)_1

"Alright." Mu Lin nodded, "Actually, I’m not too bothered about it. I’m just afraid that you’ll be saddened." If she didn’t hold back, the ones who’d feel pain wouldn’t be her.

"Will it be very dangerous?" After hearing Mu Lin’s words, Mei Qingyuan was a bit worried.

Mu Lin: "If we had proceeded prior, the risk would have been there. Even I couldn’t guarantee a hundred percent success." Or rather, there’s nothing in this world that’s risk-free. After all, if some unforeseen circumstances occur, no one could predict it.

"And now?"

"Now," Mu Lin lifted the corner of her lips, "It’s the same."

Looking at Mu Lin, Jing Chen felt helpless, Mei Qingyuan sulking, the elder chuckling lightly, whereas, the other man knitted his brows tightly.

For some reason, even though others regarded this young girl’s medical skills as miraculous, he still had a sense of distrust.

After all, they had never confirmed her skills firsthand. Although he was grateful that Mu Lin had exposed the poisoners last time, and that the recent treatment plan for Elder Mei was her idea, he still couldn’t trust such an unproven little girl.

Of course, Mu Lin really didn’t care about his trust.

"Young lady, quit joking around." Mei Qingyuan looked at Mu Lin and said.

Mu Lin looked innocent, "I’m not joking." Unfortunately, her smirk made her look like a mischievous child in everyone’s eyes.

"Though I can’t guarantee it will be perfect, but I can assure it to be 99.99999% safe." She was telling the plain truth.

Looking at Mu Lin, the elder chuckled without hesitation. He had never seen anyone speak so bluntly; It wasn’t that she couldn’t guarantee, she just didn’t want to. This must be her unique sense of humor.

The elder got it right.

Mu Lin does have a peculiar sense of humor that can scare people half to death, and the worst part is that there’s nothing one can do about it.

Except feel helpless.

Looking at the elder laughing heartily, Mu Lin gave Jing Chen a puzzled look, to whom he responded with a raised eyebrow.

He hadn’t seen the elder laugh this joyfully in a long while. As the head of a country, the elder didn’t have the luxury to laugh so freely. Who would have thought that Linlin’s simple words could bring about such merriment?

Jing Chen could only say: The lady is mighty.

Jing Chen wasn’t worried about Mu Lin doing or saying anything inappropriate in front of the elder. She knew her limits. Also, Mu Lin had this unique charm that wouldn’t allow anyone to be mad at her.

"Tell me, what’s the plan?" The laughter subsided, the elder looked at Mu Lin, the corners of his mouth still lifted.

"Acupuncture, medicinal bath, blood-letting, and soup medicine. A combination of all four." It’s really that simple.

"What, blood-letting!" As expected, when he heard this, the middle-aged man was the first to object, "This is absolutely not acceptable."

What if something went wrong? He had never heard of medical treatment involving bloodletting. He turned to look at the elder, "You absolutely cannot take this risk." Moreover, Mu Lin had said earlier that she cannot ensure zero risks.

If she can’t ensure it, then they should not attempt it at all.

However, the elder only laughed lightly at him, "Now now, Azhan, don’t let this girl deceive you. Remember that if I’m in good health now, it’s because of her." Hence, his worries were unnecessary.

The elder was surprised that Azhan was this resistant to Mu Lin.

"But." Zhan Zhong couldn’t comprehend the elder’s unwavering trust in Mu Lin. This was the first time he had seen such a situation. He instinctively looked at Mu Lin, wanting to see what was so special about her that the elder would trust her this much. But, he found Mu Lin was also looking equally amused.

A strange feeling took over him. Zhan Zhong had an inexplicable feeling that the young girl was toying with him.

It must be a delusion, right?

Perhaps it wasn’t that important. Of course, he had never been concerned about these things.

"Mu Lin’s medical skill is something that I can simply aspire to." The elder’s words finished, and Mei Qingyuan’s voice echoed the next moment. "I have witnessed this lady cure an almost-dead patient, whom we were all helpless to save, with bloodletting." So, when Mu Lin suggested bloodletting, he didn’t feel anything unusual.

Like the elder, in his heart, if Mu Lin had suggested a method, she must be confident in it. If she wasn’t, she most likely wouldn’t have suggested it at all.

Zhan Zhong looked at Mu Lin, but didn’t speak further. Jing Chen, who brought Mu Lin here, naturally sided with her, and the elder and Mei Qingyuan also supported her, so he refrained from voicing any further objections.

Mu Lin looked at him, leaning leisurely back, "Actually, this treatment is not entirely necessary. If you’re in a hurry, you can take it, if not, it should be alright after five days." There was no urgency.

"No problem, girl, just do as you’ve suggested." The elder looked at Mu Lin, speaking without any hesitation, "I hope to maintain my physical strength whenever and wherever on my journey this time." Although he had almost fully recovered now and his strength had returned significantly, he couldn’t possibly keep going for a whole day. If he had to sit still, it would be fine, but it wouldn’t be manageable if he had to move around.

Furthermore, the intention of this journey was to further strengthen the relationship between the two countries. Seeing a frail elder definitely wouldn’t be a good thing.

"Alright." Hearing the elder’s words, Mu Lin glanced at Zhan Zhong and nodded, "If you all say so." She had nothing more to add.

The present Mu Lin was increasingly becoming accustomed to her duty as a military doctor. Or rather, she was a healer, and she had never forgotten that.

Being a merciful healer, the influence of Mu Jue, on Mu Lin was profound, to say the least.

Soon after the prescription was prepared, someone went to make arrangements.

The elder looked at Mu Lin, "Girl, I heard from Jing Chen that you also plan to go to E Country with us?" He didn’t expect that, but if Mu Lin were to join them, he thought the journey might be quite entertaining.

"Yes," Mu Lin nodded, "I haven’t been abroad before." It would be nice to see the world, and see what the leaders of E Country look like.

Hearing Lin’s answer, the elder laughed lightly. He did not believe her answer was as simple as that. After pausing for a moment he asked once more, "What about your own matters?" He knew that Mu Lin was currently busy with her own stuff, and thus had not been often in the military camp since her new recruit training finished.

She would probably have to put off a lot of her own work if she went with them this time.

Since he cared, the elder had paid attention to many matters concerning Mu Lin.

"There should be no problem with my tasks temporarily," Mu Lin said. With two weeks’ time, minus a week, even if she was delayed a few more days. Even if she stayed in C Province, there wouldn’t be anything special to do, just wait for trouble to find her.

The elder nodded and did not ask any more. After all, it was Lin’s private affair, and it wouldn’t be good to ask too much.

Time slowly passed as they chatted leisurely.

The servants’ efficiency was remarkably high. In just over an hour, all arrangements were in place.

It was at this moment that Zhan Zhong finally understood why the elder and Mei Qingyuan trusted Mu Lin so much. The Mu Lin now was completely different from the leisurely Mu Lin they had seen before.

Her face was focused and serious, and her hands were flexible. It was only now that Mu Lin could be referred to as an accomplished doctor.

The elder’s body was now full of silver needles.

"Left hand." A cold voice sounded, the elder instinctively raised a hand. Mu Lin took it, and a small dagger quickly swept across his wrist. The blood oozed out, dripping bit by bit into a small bowl placed underneath on the chair.

Drip by drip, it gradually turned from dark to a deeper red, then back to normal color, just about filling the small bowl.

The reason for removing a moderate amount of blood was to speed up recovery. It wouldn’t work to just remove blood. Mu Lin first used silver needles to force most of the toxic blood into the left hand, let it flow out, and then the medicated bath helped push out the blood with toxins.

Of course, not all of it could be pushed out at once.

Finally, the soup medicine and detoxification pill prepared by Mu Lin basically completed the treatment.

Another hour passed, and the elder got up, showing no signs of weakness from the bloodletting, but rather a refreshing comfort throughout his body.

After ten years, he had almost forgotten the refreshing sensation of having a body completely cleansed from within, as if his organs were all transparent.

The elder suddenly felt that this young girl standing in front of him might just be his lucky star.

It was not until later that he found out that Mu Lin was not only his lucky star, but also a lucky star for all of them.
