Hearing the sound, Liu Tingting looked over and saw it was that detestable Lan Yan again.
She roared, "Lan Yan, you're still meddling in other people's business! What, aren't you at home accompanying your snake tribe slave? Why did you come here?"
With a "snap," Lan Yan whipped her whip onto Liu Tingting's veiled hat. "If you don't want to lose face in public again, shut your mouth."
Liu Tingting pulled her veiled hat tighter. With so many people around, she couldn't imagine the consequences if they saw her face.
She stopped talking about Jun Yelan and instead said, "Lan Yan, what business is it of yours that I'm looking for Divine Doctor Lin to treat my illness!" For some reason, she had been encountering bad luck every time she met Lan Yan recently.
Lan Yan laughed and said, "First, you cut in line. Second, you intended to lay hands on Divine Doctor Lin. We are all people seeking treatment from Divine Doctor Lin. If Divine Doctor Lin is harmed by you, who will we turn to for treatment?"
Hearing this, people behind her chimed in, agreeing that she had a point.
Liu Tingting felt embarrassed, glad she was wearing a veiled hat. She said, "I am also here to seek treatment from Divine Doctor Lin."
"Oh. I think you're not here for treatment, but to pick a fight," Lan Yan called out coldly.
She looked at the people seeking medical help around her and said, "Everyone, I think this person has been constantly interfering with Divine Doctor Lin. Shall we drive her away?"
The crowd shouted excitedly, "Yes!" They had already found this woman unpleasant, and she even dared to throw money at Divine Doctor Lin!
Forced to leave, Liu Tingting angrily got into her carriage. She looked at Du Yin, who was sitting in the carriage, and angrily said, "What should we do now!"
Du Yin glanced outside through the curtain, suspecting that Lan Yan was seeking treatment from Divine Doctor Lin for Jun Yelan. He had a mission from his master and needed to find a way to sabotage it.
"Don't worry, if you can't get treated, she won't be able to either."
With that, Liu Tingting smiled triumphantly and returned.
Lan Yan received everyone's praise and smiled, saying, "You're welcome." She returned to her spot in the queue, waiting for her turn.
As the sky gradually darkened, inside the Lan Mansion, Jun Yelan held a book and kept looking towards the door. She had left early in the morning; why hadn't she returned yet!
Then, he thought to himself that Lan Yan's return had nothing to do with him. He continued reading, but his gaze remained fixed on the same page. He saw Chun Tao passing by outside and called out, "Chun Tao, does your young lady have any important matters today?"
Chun Tao shook her head, "This servant doesn't know. However, the young master knows where the young lady went. Young Master Jun, why not ask the young master?"
Jun Yelan's eyes darkened slightly, "No need."
"What do you need to ask this young master about?" Shen Jin walked into the courtyard and saw Jun Yelan there, wondering, "I really don't know what's so great about you that my cousin, who has a high opinion of herself, likes you."
"Although I dislike you very much, because of my cousin, I won't do anything to you." He sat down and faced Jun Yelan directly. If it weren't for his cousin's instructions, he wouldn't bother coming.
He continued rambling. Seeing Jun Yelan get up, he called out, "I haven't finished speaking, where are you going?"
Jun Yelan didn't want to listen to Shen Jin's incessant chatter and headed to the mansion gate. He was waiting for someone to return.
At this moment, Lan Yan finally met Divine Doctor Lin.
Divine Doctor Lin took her pulse and asked in confusion, "Your body is very healthy. What brings you here?"
Lan Yan smiled, "Divine Doctor Lin, it's not me, but someone very important to me. His meridians are broken; is there any way to restore them?" She suddenly felt a little nervous.
"It's a bit difficult, but not impossible." Divine Doctor Lin saw that Lan Yan had driven away troublemakers earlier and was a person of true purity. He was willing to help such a person.
"Bring him to see me tomorrow."
Lan Yan couldn't help but smile, "Yes, thank you, Divine Doctor Lin." Great, Jun Yelan could recover his martial arts.
However, a nearby apprentice reminded him, "Master, I just heard the young lady who was causing trouble say that Miss Lan cares about the snake tribe people."
Lan Yan was still wondering why the apprentice said that when Divine Doctor Lin suddenly became angry. "No treatment, you should leave now."
She was utterly speechless. Her hopes were dashed just like that. She asked, "Divine Doctor Lin, why are you unwilling to treat snake tribe people! He is different from others; he is a very good and pitiful person."
Divine Doctor Lin's face was filled with anger, and he did not back down. He began to pack his medicine box and shouted, "I will not treat snake tribe people. This has always been my rule. Little girl, you can have me treat any human, but not this time."
He had already left.
Lan Yan was left alone here and walked back. As she walked, she plucked at a casually picked blade of grass and angrily exclaimed, "What kind of divine doctor is this, and what kind of damn rules! I just want to complete a task, why is it so difficult!"
The system comforted her, "Host, rules can be broken. If you come a few more days and make three earnest requests, perhaps he will treat you."
Lan Yan nodded, but she still felt indignant. She had queued for the entire day, only to have to come again tomorrow and wake up early again. She drooped her head, and two drops of rain suddenly landed on her forehead.
She looked up at the dark clouds overhead and shouted, "Heavens, can't you be a little kinder to me!" After speaking, an umbrella appeared above her head, her eyes brightened, and she looked at the person beside her.
Jun Yelan held the umbrella, staring at Lan Yan. From a distance, he saw Lan Yan walking alone with her head down, muttering to herself. Seeing that the weather was about to change, he went back to get an umbrella to pick her up.
Seeing Jun Yelan now, Lan Yan's eyes welled up with tears, feeling a little touched. She made up her mind; she would go again tomorrow and not give up easily. "Jun Yelan, you're the best. The people I met today are all terrible."
Jun Yelan, standing beside her, listened quietly, but a warmth flowed through his heart. He knew much more than Shen Jin now. He tilted the umbrella to the right, and the rain soaked half of his shoulder.
After returning to her room, Lan Yan drank the ginger soup brought by Chun Tao and felt warm all over. She then lay down on the bed and slept soundly.
The next morning, she went out again, heading to a temple outside the city.
However, this time a little shadow followed her. Jun Yelan followed slowly, wanting to know what Lan Yan had been doing recently and why she was so dejected yesterday.
Lan Yan quickly arrived at the temple and was met with a closed door. She suppressed the urge to curse and shouted, "Divine Doctor Lin, I'm not here to ask for treatment today, but to help you."
Seeing Divine Doctor Lin come out, she directly snatched the medicine box and said with a smile, "I'll help you carry it."
When seeing patients, she arranged people to queue up and helped pass prescriptions.
Divine Doctor Lin: "..." He did not stop her.
The apprentice nearby became sullen; these were the things he usually did. He walked to the side and bumped into a person with only one hand, who was also handed a bag of silver and a letter.
He opened it, and it contained information about Lan Yan and the snake tribe person. He muttered, "I must quickly go and tell Master."
