The Martial Doctor-Chapter 106 - 104: This Kid Is Not Bad

Lin Miao left.

Guan Biyun looked at Mr. Jia and asked, "Old scoundrel, what do you think?"

"His mind is calm and steady, he’s a good seedling. Although that boy Wang isn’t good at much else, he does have a keen eye for people," Mr. Jia nodded.

"Was what you gave him just now really the Hangover Prevention Elixir?"

"Of course, when have I ever lied?" Mr. Jia snorted, "Giving him the Hangover Prevention Elixir was also a test. He didn’t take it right away but instead sniffed it first before swallowing it. In that moment, he was likely confirming whether it was really the Hangover Prevention Elixir."

"Your Hangover Prevention Elixir is different from others’, could he actually tell?"

"Whether he could tell or not, he still swallowed it. Without a hint of courage, would he dare to apply for this ’Path to Sainthood’ trial?" Mr. Jia said, "Guan Siyao, what else did you notice?"

"Old scoundrel, I am no longer Siyao," Guan Biyun rolled her eyes and said, "This kid, although young, seems to have already experienced intimacy."

"You can tell just from that?" Mr. Jia exclaimed in surprise.

"Not see, but smell. The scent he carries is different from yours," Guan Biyun replied slowly.

"Old scoundrel, I’m going to rest, see you tomorrow!"

Only much later did Mr. Jia understand the meaning behind Guan Biyun’s words and cursed, "Guan Biyun, what do you old women know? Your nose is sharper than a dog’s, but I’m maintaining my virgin status because..."

...

Regardless of whether it was a Hangover Prevention Elixir or not, Lin Miao would have swallowed it. It was a test or perhaps a trial from his counterpart.

A test of his courage.

In fact, it was indeed a Hangover Prevention Elixir, with quite excellent efficacy. By the time he left Tongren Hall, he was practically back to normal.

And the alcohol smell wasn’t so strong anymore.

What a good thing this is.

This one "Hangover Prevention Elixir" is probably quite expensive; it’s a necessary good for social gatherings since drinking is prone to cause problems.

This bit of residual alcohol smell, when expelled with internal energy, is almost completely eliminated.

"You’re back, junior brother."

"Senior sister, it’s so late, why haven’t you slept?" The study room was lit, indicating Sun Youwei was still waiting for him.

"I was worried and waited in the study for you to come back." Sun Youwei closed her book and walked over, tenderly taking the cloak draped around him.

"It was just having dinner, nothing major, and here I am back." Lin Miao stepped forward to hold Sun Youwei’s soft hands, "In the future, if it’s too late, don’t wait for me to come back. You must ensure your rest and sleep time each day."

"I know, but I can’t sleep until you’re back."

"Silly girl, don’t worry about me. I’m a martial artist, fully capable of protecting myself." Lin Miao gently embraced Sun Youwei in his arms, "Come on, I’ll take you back to rest."

"Okay."

...

"Thud."

Lin Miao glanced up at the sound of closing doors and windows from the neighboring loft. Was she also worrying about me, waiting secretly by the window so late?

An unexpected panic rose in Si Miaoxue’s heart. Just now, he seemed to have slightly raised his head, as if he saw her shutting the window.

She felt like she had lost her fight; after that night, her mind was filled with this rascal’s voice, especially when being controlled, unable to move, and under complete command of his aura.

It even sparked a sense of "heart fluttering" within her.

Could she have really fallen for this young man?

What a crisis!

Recalling her experiences over the past month, she felt controlled by something, doing things she could never have imagined before.

She even dreamt of those lingering scenes at night, able to savor them upon waking.

Is this the side effect of the Charm Girl Heart Skill, turning her into a woman obsessed with romance?

"Silly girl, if want to go, then go. What’s the point in holding back?" Long Po’s voice came, "Women of the Moon Worship Sect have always dared to love and hate. Miaoxue, what’s holding you back?"

"Master, I’m afraid..."

"Afraid of what? You initiated, and now you’re backing out. Don’t let Master look down on you," Long Po said.

"Master, he already has a senior sister, I’m afraid..."

"Silly girl, you already have a substantial relationship, does status matter so much?" Long Po replied, "With your identity, you’ll never be able to openly stay by his side, so why care about such things!"

"Aren’t you trying to persuade him to join the Moon Worship Sect?"

"There might have been a glimmer of hope before, but now, do you think he’d possibly join us?" Long Po said, "With his promising future, as a future leader in the Xinglin world, at a time when he rose from obscurity, you seized an opportunity. Once he succeeds, what kind of women can’t he have?"

"Master, how can you say that about your disciple?"

"Hey, I’m just telling the truth. The truth often stings a bit..."

Si Miaoxue stomped her foot and flew gracefully away from the rooftop, but she returned quickly, panting.

"What’s wrong?"

"He’s soaking in a medicine bath!"

"Silly girl, what a great opportunity, yet you foolishly ran back..." Long Po exclaimed, shaking her head and sighing. This disciple truly "likes" him, otherwise she wouldn’t have become this foolish, just like she did back then.

Without emotions, she’s overly clever. Once truly caught up, she turns clueless as a pig.

This girl is beyond saving.

"Oh!" Si Miaoxue leapt upwards again.

...

"Splash!"

A delicate body plunged into the bath barrel.

Lin Miao, who was absorbing the medicinal power and strengthening his bones through meditation, was startled. Fortunately, the bath barrel was large enough; otherwise, squeezing in two people suddenly would have shattered the barrel.

"Si Miaoxue, are you crazy? I’m training." Lin Miao was agitated and angry; there should be a time for messing around.

"That’s why I’m here to accompany you." Si Miaoxue smiled alluringly and leaned closer.

"No! You need to get out; I’m too busy to entertain your antics tonight!"

"What did you put in this medicinal bath? Why is it effective for me too..." Si Miaoxue took a deep breath, feeling a tingling medicinal power seep into her body, several times stronger than the baths she used for training before!

"Effective for you too?" Lin Miao exclaimed in surprise; he had never tested this medicinal bath on anyone else, not even Su Chen.

Because it was his own secret formula.

Considering Si Miaoxue was in the Blood Fusion Realm, theoretically, the bath configured for the Bone Forging Realm should barely affect her.

Unexpectedly, the bath was effective for her too, which greatly piqued his interest.

"Do you have a formula for the Bone Forging Realm bath?"

"Yes, my mentor gave it to me; it’s a formula that’s been used by the Moon Worship Sect for hundreds of years. If you want to know, I’ll tell you," Si Miaoxue said without reservation, knowing that with a superior formula handy, worrying about others’ formulas was pointless.

Cross-reference and learn.

Formula for medicinal baths is not fixed; sometimes other formulas can inspire one’s own.

"I’ll modify this formula for you; try it next time. Maybe it will be even more effective." Lin Miao contemplated the formula for a moment and said.

"Even better?!" Si Miaoxue was greatly surprised.

"Yes, without increasing the budget, it will have a better benefit for your training, especially in eliminating the hidden injuries left by your previous training," Lin Miao explained. "You should leave first, and I’ll give you the formula later."

"I’m not leaving!"

"You’re such a grown-up, still so unreasonable..."

"I am being unreasonable. Bite me!"

...

Lin Miao wasn’t reckless; during training, if something goes wrong, it could be disastrous. So after finishing the medicinal bath, he got dressed and returned to his room. Being young requires moderation; the future still has plenty to offer.

As for Si Miaoxue, she also stayed until enough time had passed and then got dressed and left.

She gained quite a lot that night.

He truly is a little treasure man.

After hearing Si Miaoxue’s story, Long Po was also stunned for a moment, realizing that even the old monk’s modifications weren’t as good as Lin Miao’s.

Si Miaoxue, the lucky girl, hadn’t found the Saint Heir in ten years but found her own opportunity.

That’s fate!

"Girl, tomorrow you should give the Blood Fusion Realm medicinal bath formula to him and see if he can adjust it..." Long Po said.

"Okay." Si Miaoxue nodded; she was looking forward to what kind of surprise Lin Miao would give her next.

...

The next day, Lin Miao got up early, had breakfast with his senior sister, then took Xia Zhu to the Xinglin Hall to meet Mr. Jia, Guan Biyun, and Cui Wanquan.

"Mr. Lin is punctual; let’s go!" Once Lin Miao arrived, the three were ready to set off, so with a simple greeting, they turned their horses and headed back.

Lin Miao quite liked this "swift and decisive" approach.

He despised people who were not punctual and dragged things out, generally avoiding friendships with such people.

"Here’s the place, Mr. Jia, Mr. Guan, Mr. Cui!" At the newly renovated Xiuyue Square Convenient Medical Diagnosis Point, Lin Miao dismounted first and introduced.

"Did you spend money to refurbish this place?" Upon entering, Mr. Jia looked at the freshly painted walls and new door frame and said.

"Yes, the Medical Bureau temporarily transferred ownership of this point’s land deed and property deed to me, so I spent some money to refurbish it," Lin Miao nodded.

"The place is a bit small; how can it accommodate so many of us working together..." Cui Wanquan glanced around and said.

"Mr. Lin, whose property is behind? Can it be bought or rented?" Guan Biyun asked.

"Actually, I’ve already bought the yard behind and opened an interior door for direct access," Lin Miao quickly explained. "Please, let’s talk inside, all three of you."

"Not bad, though the place is small, it’s enough for one person to sit in consultation. If not for the likes of us being here, it would be sufficient."

"Mr. Lin, you haven’t set up an altar for the Three Saints here?" After entering, Cui Wanquan looked around the main hall in surprise and asked.

"Originally, this diagnosis point never had a Three Saints altar; as I’m just temporarily consulting here, it’s not appropriate for me to change it, thus no altar has been set up yet," Lin Miao explained, as the original setup didn’t have it, and he didn’t set an altar despite renovating.

"This isn’t right, Mr. Lin; doing so is disrespectful to the Three Saints!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Cui is right; I’ll arrange it immediately." Lin Miao gestured to Mr. Xie to quickly handle it.

Mr. Xie, being clever, immediately understood that this Mr. Cui was intentionally causing trouble. Buying a portrait of the Three Saints to hang on the wall, setting up an altar, and getting an incense burner isn’t a big ask.

By mentioning the "Three Saints," Cui Wanquan aimed to assert his presence in the supervisory group, as the norm is for medical halls to worship the Three Saints, and neither Mr. Jia nor Mr. Guan could argue against it.

When Cui Wanquan mentioned the "Three Saints," Mr. Jia’s lip curled subtly in disdain.

As for Guan Biyun, she maintained a smile, with inner thoughts unknown to anyone.

It’s said that King Yama is easy to meet but little devils are hard to handle.

This Cui Wanquan was indeed the little devil in the trio; such a person needs to be appeased, or though he might not help, he could easily hinder the progress.
