Amidst the anxious waiting of the Lin family mbers, Doctor Li walked out of the hospital room.
"Doctor Li, how is my father?" Lin Youpeng asked eagerly.
Doctor Li, composed as ever, stroked his beard. He cast a quick glance at Luo Xiu and said kindly, "Rest assured, Old Master Lin is out of danger. He can be discharged soon. Just rember to take good care of him at ho."
"You truly live up to your reputation as the Divine Doctor, Doctor Li!"
"You're simply miraculous!"
"The Lin Family will never forget your great kindness!"
The crowd showered him with praise and gratitude.
After the Lin family mbers went into the hospital room, Doctor Li approached Luo Xiu and spoke in a low voice, "Young friend, may I have a word with you in private?"
Luo Xiu nodded.
The old man and the young man moved to the other end of the corridor.
Seeing that they were alone, Doctor Li dropped his previously profound deanor and cupped his fist in gratitude, his voice filled with excitent.
"Thank you for your guidance just now!"
Luo Xiu was taken aback for a mont, then waved his hand. "It had little to do with . The credit goes to your own solid foundation, sir."
"You're too modest, young friend. If it weren't for your words earlier, I'm afraid Old Master Lin…"
In truth, Doctor Li had been extrely nervous. Since becoming famous, he had never failed to cure a patient, which had earned him the na "Divine Doctor." In terms of dical techniques, few in Sea City could surpass him. But Lin Daqi's illness was truly strange, and he had no confidence he could cure it.
Fortunately, Luo Xiu's guidance at the critical mont allowed him to preserve his reputation. He even felt that his dical skills had improved. The human body's ridians and acupuncture points were like a vast and complex astronomical code, and Luo Xiu was the one who had helped him decipher it.
"My na is Li Jiuzhen. May I ask your na, young friend?"
"Luo Xiu."
Li Jiuzhen said humbly, "Your words earlier were truly enlightening. It's true. These past few years, I've been so wrapped up in fa and wealth that I almost forgot I'm a healer."
Luo Xiu smiled faintly. "Actually, there's nothing wrong with pursuing fa and wealth. Healers are people, too. We aren't born indebted to anyone, and we have the right to pursue our own goals and provide for our families."
"What you say is absolutely correct. By the way, young friend, if I may be so bold… was the technique you guided on earlier the legendary Creation Thirteen Needles?" Li Jiuzhen asked with extre caution.
Luo Xiu nodded and smiled. "Yes. My master made learn it when I was a teenager."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiuzhen's eyes widened. He hastily asked, "May I inquire as to the na of your esteed master?"
"I'm sorry, but my master has forbidden from revealing his na."
Li Jiuzhen gave an embarrassed smile. "Of course, of course. I was being presumptuous."
Although Luo Xiu didn't reveal anything, Li Jiuzhen already had a good guess as to who his master was. After all, not just anyone knew the Creation Thirteen Needles. In the entire world, only that reclusive master from Ghost Valley Mountain was known to practice this miraculous needle technique.
Luo Xiu turned to leave. "I have other matters to attend to, so I must take my leave."
"Wait a mont, young friend!"
Li Jiuzhen hurriedly caught up, handing a card to Luo Xiu with a smile. "This is the Purple Gold Card for my Wan Yao Hall. If you ever need to purchase dicine, take this card there, and everything will be free of charge."
Luo Xiu replied, "I cannot accept a reward for sothing I haven't earned."
Li Jiuzhen smiled. "Think of it as a gift for a new friend. Please, accept it. Besides, those few words of advice you gave are more than enough to earn this card."
Thinking that he did indeed need to buy dicine, Luo Xiu didn't refuse again.
"In that case, thank you."
"Think nothing of it."
Watching Luo Xiu's retreating figure, Li Jiuzhen's face bead. He made a ntal note to build a good relationship with this young Divine Doctor. What if he's in a good mood one day and gives a few more pointers?
...
「At the hospital entrance.」
Lin Xiyue found Luo Xiu and asked, "Can you drive?"
"No."
"Then take a taxi back. I have to go to the company," Lin Xiyue said, handing him a key card.
Luo Xiu took the card. "I'll go back later. I want to walk around for a bit."
Luo Xiu didn't return to the Lin Family Villa in the Sea City Riviera complex until sunset.
The Lin family was sitting together at the table, having dinner.
Lin Daqi said, "Luo Xiu, co and join us."
At the hospital, the old master had already co to terms with things. No matter how he looked at it, Luo Xiu was better than those pampered heirs. Moreover, Luo Xiu's master was his savior. Besides, Lin Xiyue and Luo Xiu were already legally married, so there was nothing he could do even if he disapproved.
Luo Xiu walked over and sat down next to Lin Xiyue.
Zhang Cui snorted and said sarcastically, "So people have perfectly good hands and feet. I just hope they won't plan on freeloading off the Lin Family forever. The Lin Family may be large and successful, but it's not a charity for beggars."
Luo Xiu rely smiled. "Old Master Lin knows better than anyone that if it weren't for my master, the Lin Family wouldn't be as wealthy and powerful as it is today."
Lin Youpeng sneered, "So, you plan to use that favor to get sothing in return?"
Luo Xiu retorted, "That's still better than being ungrateful."
Just then, Lin Xiyue coughed twice. She set down her chopsticks and gave Luo Xiu a deep look.
"Luo Xiu, since you don't have anything to do at ho, you should find a job. If you can, co to the company with tomorrow."
He t her gaze and sensed the threat in her eyes. A stifling feeling of frustration washed over him. If it weren't for that damn Jade Pendant…
"Fine, as you wish."
He shook his head helplessly. I'd have to deal with Zhang Cui's attitude if I stay ho, so I might as well go to the company. It's only for half a year. I just have to endure it.
...
After dinner, Luo Xiu went upstairs.
The Lin family's French-style villa had four floors, with the entire third floor being Lin Xiyue's private domain. Luo Xiu casually picked a guest room, took a shower, lay down on the bed, and quickly drifted off to sleep.
An unknown amount of ti passed before a knock on the door startled him awake.
Luo Xiu got up to open it, only to be stunned by what he saw.
Outside the door stood Lin Xiyue, wearing only a thin, silky nightdress. It seed she had nothing on underneath. Her long, snow-white legs were on full display, and she wore a pair of fluffy slippers with bunny ears. The look was a mixture of extre sensuality and girlish charm.
"What are you looking at?"
Luo Xiu snapped back to his senses and quickly averted his gaze, muttering, "Aren't you dressed like that on purpose for to see?"
Lin Xiyue walked into the room. "Have you showered?" she asked.
"Huh?" Luo Xiu stared at her, completely bewildered.
Lin Xiyue said with a blank expression, "Didn't we agree that we would sleep together once a week? Today is Monday. We'll start today."
