Chapter 210 209: Too Much Money

Mu Lin turned his back. "Manor Master Luo, you can put your clothes back on now."

Luo Wanqing let out a long sigh of relief and quickly put her top back on.

"Divine Doctor Mu, I'm dressed now!"

Mu Lin turned back around, and the way Luo Wanqing looked at him was completely different from before.

Mu Lin sank to the floor, leaning against the wall.

Luo Wanqing grew nervous. "Divine Doctor Mu, why are you sitting on the floor? Isn't it cold?"

Mu Lin waved a hand. "I'll get up after I rest for a bit!"

That ordeal, which had lasted over an hour, was utterly draining. He felt boneless.

He was so tired.

'Oh.' Luo Wanqing relaxed a little. She had thought Mu Lin still had lecherous intentions and was trying to peek up her skirt.

"Manor Master Luo," Mu Lin said, "the person who tried to harm you doesn't want to kill you immediately. They want to use the poison to corrode all of your True Qi. When you're on the verge of death, they'll show themselves, likely to blackmail you for something."

Luo Wanqing's expression changed several times. She already had a few possible suspects in mind.

Luo Wanqing felt at her waist and pulled out a bank card.

"Divine Doctor Mu, please take this! It's just a small token of my appreciation!"

'Why is it another bank card?' Mu Lin thought. 'I already have more money than I know what to do with.'

"There's no need. It was hardly any effort. If you really insist on paying, just pay Divine Doctor Zhao. Five hundred thousand per session, same price for everyone."

Luo Wanqing waved her hand. "Of course I'll pay Divine Doctor Zhao. This is a special thank-you just for you!"

Mu Lin tried to refuse, but Luo Wanqing insisted, pushing the card back. After it went back and forth a few times, Mu Lin had no choice but to accept it.

"Really, a small amount would have been fine. I'm not that short on cash."

Luo Wanqing said, "My conscience wouldn't be clear otherwise! If you don't want my money, could it be that you want my body instead? You can have it, then."

Mu Lin scratched his head. "Manor Master Luo, you are beloved by the people of Nanjiang. If I were to do something beastly, countless people would surely come looking for trouble with me. Please, don't make jokes like that."

Luo Wanqing pursed her lips. 'Don't I even have that much charm?' she thought.

'What gave me the confidence to say I could convince Sun Tiandang to let him go?'

'Why was that?'

'Just why was that?'

'I'll have to figure it out on my own!'

Mu Lin paused, then said, "Manor Master Luo, you should stay in Anhua for the time being. This treatment will need to be done a few more times."

Luo Wanqing nodded. "That's not a problem. I'll make the arrangements."

In the Holy Medicine Hall, everyone was waiting for the results of the treatment.

Divine Doctor Zhao was serving them tea and making conversation, but everyone's attention was still on Mu Lin and Luo Wanqing.

'It's been over an hour. What are they doing in there?'

'Even an hour at a nightclub would be over by now!'

'Can you really last that long?'

Just then, Mu Lin and Luo Wanqing came out.

Jiang Lan hurried over and carefully inspected Luo Wanqing from head to toe.

Luo Wanqing didn't understand what she was doing and found it a bit strange.

"Lan'Er, what are you looking at?"

Jiang Lan didn't have any malicious intent; it was just that the atmosphere outside had made her suspicious.

A group of old men had been staring grim-faced at the treatment room. How could Jiang Lan not know what they were thinking?

She wasn't some naive girl who didn't understand the ways of the world; she was well aware of such things.

That was why she was so worried about Luo Wanqing, leaning in to look at her from every angle.

"Manor Master, you're so beautiful!" Jiang Lan finally managed to say after holding it in for a while.

Luo Wanqing was quite pleased to hear this, as she had been wondering what Jiang Lan was going to say.

Without giving it much thought, she replied, "So I'm not usually beautiful?"

"It's different! Your complexion has improved, and your skin has gotten fairer! You're really different from before!"

Luo Wanqing reached out and playfully pinched Jiang Lan's lips. "It won't kill you to say a little less."

Divine Doctor Zhao took a look, and his eyes lit up as well. "Manor Master Luo, what did you go through? The change is so great, I almost don't recognize you!"

This wasn't flattery. The change in Manor Master Luo between when she went in and when she came out was truly enormous—so much so that even Divine Doctor Zhao found it hard to comprehend.

Luo Wanqing quickly pulled out a mirror to examine her own appearance, only then realizing that Divine Doctor Zhao was not exaggerating.

Her improvement was indeed huge. Her skin was as white as paper, her eyes looked bigger, and the faint bags that used to be under her eyes were now gone.

'So the improvement can be this obvious!'

Luo Wanqing couldn't help but start looking forward to the next few treatments. 'If one session is this amazing, what will I be like after a few more? Won't I become incredible?'

She couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.

Jiang Lan turned, went out, and came back in with Mr. Qingshan.

"Divine Doctor Mu, could I possibly ask you to see one more patient?"

Jiang Lan asked pitifully.

Mu Lin looked at Mr. Qingshan behind her. "Are you talking about Mr. Qingshan? What's wrong with him? He looks fine to me."

Jiang Lan said regretfully, "Mr. Qingshan was injured when he was young. Ever since then, his strength has been suppressed, and he has never managed to fully recover."

'Is that so?' Mu Lin scanned Mr. Qingshan with his divine sense, and in an instant, he discovered a huge difference.

'Half his meridians are severed, yet he has the cultivation of a Grandmaster? What kind of miracle is this?'

Seeing how easily Mu Lin had identified his problem, Mr. Qingshan was shocked and felt even more respect for him.

Mu Lin said calmly, "Before you were injured, your cultivation must have been far beyond that of a Grandmaster, I presume?"

Mr. Qingshan's expression changed again and again. "Yes. At my peak, I was only half a step away from becoming a Grandmaster."

Mu Lin smiled faintly. "Just as I thought."

"Divine Doctor Mu, can you treat me?" Mr. Qingshan's eyes widened as he stared intently at Mu Lin.

Mu Lin nodded slowly. "Of course I can!"

Mr. Qingshan immediately knelt before Mu Lin and said excitedly:

"If Mr. Mu can heal my injuries, I, Long Qingshan, will serve Divine Doctor Mu faithfully, even if it means death!"

'Why do you all like kneeling so much? It's so tedious,' Mu Lin thought as he reached out a hand to help Long Qingshan up.

Lin Jin, however, was so surprised his jaw dropped. "So you're Long Qingshan!"

Long Qingshan nodded. "Yes, Mr. Lin, it is I!"

Mu Lin didn't understand why Lin Jin was so excited and asked, "Uncle Lin, what's the big deal about Mr. Qingshan?"

Lin Jin pressed his lips together, looking at Long Qingshan with an expression of disbelief.

"The founder of the Celestial Dragon Fist, who once shook the world. Some guessed he would be the youngest Grandmaster in history, but then he suddenly vanished without a trace..."

"Now the truth is out. To think he was actually injured!"

Mu Lin pursed his lips. 'So that's what happened,' he thought. 'I didn't know anything about it.'

Mu Lin then asked, "Uncle Lin, what's Mr. Qingshan's reputation like?"

"His reputation is excellent. Calling him a wandering hero fighting for justice might be a bit of an exaggeration, but he never used his power to bully others."

"Young friend, you've met many people. You should understand how incredibly rare that is."

Mu Lin nodded. He understood that point all too well.

It went without saying what these Martial Artists were capable of doing with their strength.

A young genius who never bullied others with his power could truly be called a dragon among men.

"I understand. Mr. Qingshan, please get up. I will help you with your treatment!" Mu Lin helped Long Qingshan to his feet and said calmly, "Come, let's go to the treatment room. But I have to warn you beforehand, your injury has been left for too long. It won't be cured in a short while, so you must be prepared for that."

Long Qingshan trembled with excitement. He finally had a chance to recover.

Heaven knows how long he had waited for this day.

Heaven knows how much he had sacrificed for this.

"Yes! Not a problem! As long as you can heal my injuries, I will serve you for the rest of my life!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Wanqing.

Luo Wanqing smiled freely and said, "Mr. Qingshan, you should go. The manor never dreamed of keeping you here forever."

Long Qingshan bowed deeply to Luo Wanqing. "Thank you, Manor Master. From now on, whenever you need me, I will rush to your aid at a moment's notice, no matter where I am in the world!"

His bearing was that of one who, having served for a day, would serve for a lifetime.

Luo Wanqing was also deeply moved. With tears in her eyes, she nodded. "That's right. You should go."

Long Qingshan strode directly into the treatment room.

Mu Lin followed close behind, but after a moment's thought, he came back out to bring two jade boxes inside with him.

This scene left the Lin and Xu families dumbfounded. Mu Lin was already so powerful on his own; if he gained Long Qingshan's help in the future, how could anyone possibly stand against him?
