Chapter 353: All Thanks to Ni Daye’s Good Intentions
Lin Nuo couldn’t fathom why Mu Feng had such confidence in giving him the title of Divine Physician.
What on earth had he done to earn that name?
Had he been talking out of his head since it wasn’t dark yet? Or had he been drinking?
In the Lin family mansion, at least he had misled Liu Shuqin into saving everyone, which could barely connect him to the title of Divine Physician. Now? He had nothing to do with it!
At best, he was a counterfeit doctor.
Maybe he should apologize to all the real Divine Physicians out there.
“Lord, I’m not some Divine Physician,” Lin Nuo protested.
“Nii brother, don’t be modest! You just said you had a way to help Yiting recover quickly, and sure enough, it worked,” Mu Feng grinned.
Lin Nuo: “…”
When I said quick recovery, I meant moving a finger! What kind of medicine could make her dance around?
Plus, I haven’t even applied anything yet, so what’s it got to do with me?
“Dad, what’s happening?” Mu Yiting asked, confused.
“Yiting, Nii brother knows that the Violent Pill has side effects. After taking it, one’s strength increases but then leads to soreness and fatigue. So he mentioned he had a method to help you recover quickly.”
“Quick recovery?”
“Yes, it’s the medicine on the table. I’m not sure about pharmacology, so I could only order the servants to gather the medicine as per Nii brother’s instructions. I was skeptical at first, but I never expected it to be so effective.”
Mu Feng sighed, this medicine truly had a mighty effect! After taking the Violent Pill, the person was not just fine, but full of vitality.
This was unprecedented!
“I see, it all must be thanks to Nii Gongzi!”
Mu Yiting smiled, not surprised it was Lin Nuo; truly, he was remarkable, knowledgeable, and resourceful, even solving the long-standing Violent Pill side effect problem plaguing the black market.
Lin Nuo was bewildered.
This wasn’t him at all; he had nothing to do with it.
Could it possibly be?
He pondered for a moment and then asked Mu Yiting:
“Miss, have you ever taken the Violent Pill before?”
Mu Yiting shook her head:
“No, this is my first time. Why?”
“Nothing, just asking.”
So there was no way to compare with her past experiences.
Lin Nuo now had a little theory: that Mu Yiting was resistant to the effects of the Violent Pill.
She must have extracted the essence of the Violent Pill and removed the side effects.
Not completely, of course; she still fainted, which counts as a side effect.
But compared to being bedridden for over half a month, this hour-long fainting spell was nothing.
She might as well have just wanted a quick nap!
Wow, straight-up envy!
To take the Violent Pill and quickly boost one’s strength with minimal side effects? No way!
Oh, it seems there are a few other people with crazy physiques, like Su Mengyi, whose physique can truly be called the Great 威天龙.
It could only be explained by her special physique; otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense.
There’s no way his offhand comments could have made Mu Yiting better, right?
If it were true, why had Lin Nuo been such a useless fish for so long?
At this moment, Lin Nuo was deep in thought.
If only he had that kind of physique, wouldn’t he just take over the world in minutes?
Damn it, why did all the girls he knew have incredible abilities?
Happiness seemed to belong to others, while he had nothing at all.
At that moment, Mu Yiting grasped Lin Nuo’s hands tightly, smiling:
“Thank you, Nii Gongzi! I feel much better now, and I can even sense some improvement in my strength.”
Lin Nuo: “…”
You want to hit me where it hurts?
Please, spare me the gratitude, my mind can’t take it!
Mu Feng chuckled:
“Nii brother, can this recipe be used by our brothers? With it, they needn’t worry when taking the Violent Pill.”
Lin Nuo: “…”
You can’t truly think I’m a Divine Physician, right? Surely not?
You don’t expect that just because you have my recipe, you can indulge in the Violent Pill at will, right?
Go ahead, let a bunch try and see how many end up mutated in Helong Hall!
“Lord, this only works for the Miss; if others use it, it won’t be very effective,” Lin Nuo replied.
“I see.”
Mu Feng stroked his beard, beginning to understand Lin Nuo’s point.
It was clear that this secret remedy would require other methods to be effective, and he planned to keep this method hidden, using it solely for Mu Yiting.
It was clearly a treasured skill that shouldn’t be revealed carelessly.
And he was only willing to use it for Yiting, showing his deep feelings.
Mu Feng patted Lin Nuo’s shoulder, smiling:
“I understand now, Nii brother, you’ve held back a bit and don’t plan to reveal it, only using it for Yiting, right? How considerate!”
Lin Nuo: “؟؟؟”
No, please don’t over-interpret this! Did I say that?
Hearing Mu Feng’s comment, Mu Yiting also began to grasp Lin Nuo’s true intentions.
He had the ability to help those who took the Violent Pill recover quickly, yet he didn’t plan on doing so for anyone but her.
Clearly, that line about it “only working for the Miss” had already signaled his stance.
Truthfully, he was willing to join forces with her when she was weaker, helping her to build her power. That was already a show of loyalty. Now, to also ensure her recovery, it was even more profound.
She didn’t need to think much further; she understood his feelings.
Originally, his style of doing things was low-key and indirect. He wouldn’t just say it outright. And here they were; if she didn’t get it now, there would be no excuse.
After all, he was someone she could rely on. She had already declared her intentions; how could it not be genuine?
“Nii Gongzi, with you here, I feel at ease! Your efforts for me will not be in vain.”
Mu Yiting held Lin Nuo’s hands tightly, as if declaring her love.
Lin Nuo felt a bit strange.
On a regular day, he would hardly pay her any mind.
But as an undercover agent, could he not accept the Miss’s goodwill?
Of course he would accept!
Being trusted and valued by Mu Yiting would make things much easier for him in the future.
Lin Nuo humbly replied:
“This is what I should do, thanks to the Miss for your good intentions.”
Mu Feng’s hand landed on Lin Nuo’s shoulder again, with an expectant tone, he said:
“Nii brother, I entrust Yiting and Helong Hall to you from now on. Besides, I just heard from my returning subordinates that Xu Dong is colluding with the court. What’s the nature of this matter?”
“This is what the soldiers from the court said. At that time, the Xuanyun Sect wanted to kill Xu Dong, and a general stepped in to protect him, which revealed the truth. It seems to be genuine.”
“Sigh, I underestimated him. I never thought Xu Dong would do something like this.”
Mu Feng shook his head, somewhat apologetically, “I’m sorry, because of Xu Dong’s treachery, you and Yiting have fallen into a difficult situation. I will thoroughly investigate Xu Dong’s forces and must punish the disloyal.”
“Thank you, Lord.”
Lin Nuo replied, as it seemed things were unfolding according to his wishes.
“Now that Yiting is fine, I’ll head out to handle some affairs and won’t disturb you two anymore.”
Mu Feng left the room knowingly, leaving Lin Nuo and Mu Yiting alone.
Lin Nuo thought, since Mu Yiting was fine, he wouldn’t stay longer; time to go fishing.
“Miss, I also—”
Before Lin Nuo could finish, Mu Yiting kissed his lips directly.
