The Divine Doctor Lin was angered by his apprentice's concealment, but he couldn't watch him die. "You're called Jun Yelan, right? Let the person go first, and we can talk properly."
Jun Yelan ignored him.
Not far away, Lan Yan saw that if this continued, something big would happen. She quickly opened her eyes and coughed twice. She raised her hand and said, "I'm fine. Jun Yelan, let him go first."
Only then did Jun Yelan loosen his grip.
Divine Doctor Lin was somewhat surprised, and at the same time, he felt the deep affection between Lan Yan and Jun Yelan. He thought of his own son, who had pleaded with him in the same way.
Forget it, he could give him a chance.
Jun Yelan had already arrived beside Lan Yan, interrupting what she was about to say. He directly picked her up. "Let's go, I'll take you back." He tightly embraced the petite figure in his arms, gritted his teeth, and quickened his pace.
Lan Yan had no choice but to let Jun Yelan carry her away. She turned to look at Divine Doctor Lin's expression, feeling that there was hope this time. It was not in vain that she had knelt for so long; finally, she could get him to treat Jun Yelan's illness.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upwards.
Jun Yelan lowered his head and saw Lan Yan's smile, his eyes filled with more heartache. This fool, clearly injured, was still smiling. He carried Lan Yan into the manor and laid her on the bed.
Then he went to get the medicine box to apply medicine to Lan Yan.
Lan Yan saw Jun Yelan rushing around and said, "Jun Yelan, I'm really fine now. I can even run in the courtyard."
To prove she was fine, she moved her wrists and ankles.
Jun Yelan sat by the bed and couldn't help but hug Lan Yan. He made up his mind, even if Lan Yan didn't like him, he had to face his feelings. He murmured in his heart, "Lan Yan, I don't want to let you go."
For so many years, he had been alone and had suffered much unfair treatment. He hated everyone, including himself. It was not until Lan Yan appeared, with her repeated protection and kindness, that he felt an unprecedented warmth.
This warmth made him very afraid, afraid that it was a fire that would burn him. But now he couldn't bear to let go of this fire; even if the end was to turn into ashes, he had to approach it.
His eyes showed a strong possessiveness.
Lan Yan was a little stunned. Seeing that Jun Yelan's emotions were somewhat off, she stroked his back and patted him gently. More than anyone, she hoped that Jun Yelan could be well.
At this moment, outside the door, Shen Jin, holding a folding fan, was about to enter but was stopped by Chun Tao.
Chun Tao said, "Young Master, my lady is busy with important matters."
"What is Xiao Yan busy with?" Shen Jin took a step forward and was directly blocked this time. He couldn't see anything through the gap in the door and said, "Forget it, I'll come back next time."
He turned and walked a couple of steps, then turned back as if preparing to rush forward, but all he saw was Chun Tao's figure.
Chun Tao bowed respectfully, "Young Master, please go well." After Shen Jin left, she looked into the room and a smile appeared on her lips. She liked her lady's current appearance very much.
The next morning, Lan Yan received an apology letter from Divine Doctor Lin and said to Jun Yelan, "He agreed to treat you and said for us to go over."
Jun Yelan's expression was unreadable as he asked, "Do you want to go?"
"Of course, I've put in a lot of effort, I can't give up halfway." Lan Yan smiled and pushed Jun Yelan towards the door. This was a great opportunity that couldn't be wasted.
The corners of Jun Yelan's mouth curved into a shallow smile.
The two arrived at Divine Doctor Lin's place.
Divine Doctor Lin looked at Jun Yelan and said, "I'm only seeing you for this young girl's sake. She treats you well, and you must not let her down. I have a medicinal herb here. Go and pick it, and I will treat you."
Jun Yelan nodded.
"Let me tell you beforehand, this herb is on a cliff face, and it's not easy to pick. If something happens to you, I won't be responsible," Divine Doctor Lin added.
Jun Yelan took the paper with the drawing of the herb and said coldly, "I will pick it." He glanced at Lan Yan and then walked out the door.
Seeing him leave, Lan Yan's eyes couldn't hide her worry. "It's so dangerous, what if something happens?" She stepped forward, about to follow him.
Divine Doctor Lin called out, "You stay here and grind medicine for me."
Thus, Lan Yan had no choice but to retract her gaze, pick up the stone mortar, and begin pounding.
Divine Doctor Lin shook his head helplessly. This absent-mindedness was also like his son.
On the other side, Jun Yelan arrived at a nearby mountain and found the herb by a cliff. He looked down, and below was a bottomless abyss. He grabbed the stones at the edge and slowly descended.
He stepped on the gaps on the cliff face, slowly moving down, approaching the herb. However, it began to rain, and his movements became slow. He stopped in one place and released his snake tail.
He picked the herb, carefully put it into his embrace, and then climbed up. But the rain was too heavy, and the stones at the edge of the cliff began to loosen. He had to stop. At this moment, he saw a flower blooming gorgeously by the side.
He thought of how Lan Yan liked flowers.
At this moment, in the room, Lan Yan, seeing the rain, couldn't sit still and exclaimed, "It's too slippery now, it's not easy to pick!" She put down the stone mortar, slung a rope over her shoulder, and rushed out the door.
Divine Doctor Lin, from behind, called out, "Take an umbrella!" Seeing that the person had already disappeared, he muttered, "Alas, they are all infatuated." He had known a snake tribe member before and knew that they would be fine with such minor issues.
Lan Yan braved the rain and walked towards the mountain. She didn't know where Jun Yelan was, so she could only search from place to place, calling his name. "Jun Yelan, answer me."
After a long while, she heard a faint response. She followed the sound to the cliff, lay down on it, and saw Jun Yelan below, drenched in the rain. She was immediately relieved, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Jun Yelan, I'll give you the rope, hold on tight." She tied a knot in the rope and threw it down.
Jun Yelan grabbed the rope and, using his snake tail, smoothly ascended.
At this moment, the rain also stopped.
Lan Yan was speechless. What kind of weather was this? Seeing that Jun Yelan's clothes were only torn and he was not injured, she felt relieved. As she went to collect the rope, she accidentally stepped on a rock, and pain shot from her ankle.
She immediately felt that she shouldn't have complained about the weather just now.
Jun Yelan squatted down, carried Lan Yan on his back, and said, "Let's go down the mountain and see Divine Doctor Lin."
"Wait a moment, I can walk myself." Lan Yan didn't want Jun Yelan to be so tired.
Jun Yelan had already firmly gripped Lan Yan's two legs and said, "There are many wild beasts on this mountain. If you are slow, you will become their prey."
"Then, never mind." Lan Yan leaned forward and hugged Jun Yelan's neck.
The corners of Jun Yelan's mouth curved upwards. This was a shallow mountain, and there were no wild beasts. He took out the gorgeous flower from his embrace and handed it to her from behind. Last time, when he helped Lan Yan hang a flower, that flower was red.
Lan Yan blinked her eyes, took it with a puzzled expression, "You picked this flower from below the cliff and gave it to me?"
"Yes." Jun Yelan said no more and quickened his pace.
Lan Yan, resting on Jun Yelan's back, turned the flower in her hands and smiled, "It's very beautiful. Jun Yelan, thank you."
Jun Yelan did not reply, but a smile appeared in his eyes. If Lan Yan liked it, this flower had value.
