Chapter 387: If Nothing Unexpected Happens

“Regarding Wang Xing’s illness, how is it? Do you have any leads?”

Coming to Tianji City this time, congratulating Sikong Wangxing on her Coming-of-Age Ceremony was one aspect.

Most importantly, Lin Xun was extremely worried about Wang Xing’s health.

When Wang Xing’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony took place, it would be the time her great tribulation arrived.

It was mainly because of this that Lin Xun had come to Tianji City.

Even if Qinger hadn’t left with Jiang Qingshang, Lin Xun would have found an opportunity to come.

“Of course.”

Hearing Lin Xun’s inquiry, Zhu Ling first raised her small chin proudly, then patted her pitiful little chest.

It wasn’t large to begin with; Lin Xun was a bit worried if Zhu Ling would pat herself even flatter.

“Who do you think I am? I’m a Genius rarely seen in three thousand years from Medicine King Valley. This time, I’ll definitely be able to cure Sister Wang Xing.”

“Is it really no problem?” Lin Xun asked again.

“Mhm, definitely! Just leave it to me.”

Zhu Ling nodded.

“This is thanks to the fire heart lotus you gave me in the Rootless Secret Realm before, and the Snow Dragon Grass scavenged from the Great Joy Temple.”

“Grandfather said that these two ingredients, one of extreme Yang and one of extreme Yin, are both top-grade Spirit Medicines in this world.”

“And these happen to be exactly what Sister Wang Xing needs most.”

“With these two ingredients refined into a Medicinal Pill, curing Sister Wang Xing will definitely be no problem.”

“Although we don’t have previous cases, after the joint deduction by Grandfather and the other Elder grandfathers of Medicine King Valley…”

“If nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be no problem.”

“Grandfather has already gone to the Tianji City Lord’s Manor, planning to check on Sister Wang Xing’s condition first.”

“In other words, the medicine is already prepared?” Lin Xun really wanted to see this Medicinal Pill.

Although Lin Xun didn’t understand pharmacology, he might be able to offer some help by performing a deduction using the Great Dao.

“The medicine isn’t ready yet.”

“Not ready?”

“Yes, because this medicine is very special and needs to be refined on the spot.”

“The medicinal power is strongest when it’s fresh from the furnace.”

“But Big Bad Guy, you don’t need to worry. I’m more worried about Sister Wang Xing than you are; there won’t be any problems.”

“I’ll also help with the refinement when the time comes.”

“Mm, thank you.”

Hearing what this Little White Rabbit said, Lin Xun’s heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled.

Lin Xun trusted this Little White Rabbit, Zhu Ling. Since the Little White Rabbit had said so, it meant that if nothing unexpected happened, there really shouldn’t be any problems.

“Big Bad Guy, what did you… just say?”

Zhu Ling blinked at Lin Xun, her eyes filled with disbelief.

“Oh, you didn’t hear it? Then never mind. I’m leaving, you should go back and rest well too.”

Lin Xun smiled and walked forward.

However, this Little White Rabbit, Zhu Ling, kept pulling at the hem of Lin Xun’s clothes:

“Big Bad Guy, say it again! This is the first time you’ve thanked me. So you actually know how to thank people, Big Bad Guy.”

“Don’t mess around, let go quickly. It won’t look good if someone sees us.”

“No, say it again!”

“I only say things once. If you keep pulling, I’ll knock you on the head.”

“Oww… Big Bad Guy, you hit me!”

“Hiss! Don’t bite me… Let go! Fine, fine, I was wrong. Let go! Are you actually a rabbit?”

The Tianji City Lords Manor.

In the young girl’s bedroom, the Sikong couple surrounded their daughter’s bed.

The unconscious girl lay on the bed, one small hand exposed. On her snow-white wrist, an aged hand rested over a silk scarf.

The old man was none other than the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley—Must Not Die—who was currently taking the girl’s pulse.

Originally, Must Not Die had intended to check on Sikong Wangxing’s condition.

But he hadn’t expected that as soon as he arrived at the Tianji City Lords Manor, he would hear the news of Sikong Wangxing fainting.

After a long while, the old man withdrew his hand and sighed softly.

“Senior Must Not Die, Wang Xing, she…”

The City Lord of Tianji City asked hurriedly.

Madam Sikong also leaned on her husband’s shoulder, secretly wiping away tears.

Must Not Die glanced at the girl on the bed: “It is Wang Xing’s Life Tribulation.”

“Please, Senior, save Wang Xing.”

Madam Sikong placed her hands in front of her and knelt down, her skirt spreading out like a red umbrella opened on a rainy day.

“Madam Sikong, there is no need for this.”

Must Not Die quickly helped her up.

“Please rest assured, Madam. This time, I am fully prepared. Wang Xing will definitely be fine. This is also a promise between me and Wang Xing’s grandfather.”

“However, Wang Xing’s Life Tribulation is estimated to occur within these next few days. It would be best to postpone Wang Xing’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony.”

“Thank you, old gentleman.”

Hearing such assurance from the World’s Number One Divine Doctor, Sikong Jing breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands in a polite gesture.

“My Tianji City will issue an announcement to inform all the guests that Wang Xing is unwell and the Coming-of-Age Ceremony will be postponed.”

With that, Sikong Jing turned to leave.

“Father, don’t.”

But before Sikong Jing could even take a step, a soft girl’s voice came from the bed.

“Wang Xing.”

“Wang Xing, rest well. Just leave everything to Father and Mother.”

Madam Sikong held her daughter’s small hand, her eyes filled with heartache.

“Father… Mother, please don’t postpone the Coming-of-Age Ceremony, okay?”

Sikong Wangxing looked weakly at her mother, her eyes filled with a heartbreaking plea.

“Wang Xing, it’s okay. Once you’re better, we can just hold it then.”

Sikong Jing quickly came to his daughter’s bedside.

Sikong Wangxing shook her head: “I’m fine… I don’t want to postpone it. Let everything proceed as planned…”

“Wang Xing… this…”

“Father, Mother… please. I beg you.”

A crystal tear rolled down the corner of the girl’s reddened eyes, carrying a rare touch of willfulness and stubbornness.

It seemed even more like the girl’s final bit of strength.

The girl didn’t know if Grandfather Must Not Die could truly cure her.

She just felt that she didn’t have much time left.

She might not wake up tomorrow.

She didn’t want to delay it.

At the very least, she could let Big Brother Lin see her most beautiful self during her once-in-a-lifetime transition to adulthood.

“Senior Brother Lin, there’s a letter for you.”

After getting rid of Zhu Ling and finally tossing her back to the other side, Lin Xun had just returned to the courtyard when his Senior sister Long Leier walked toward him.

“A letter?”

Taking the envelope, Lin Xun asked in confusion.

He didn’t know anyone in Tianji City, and few people knew he was here.

Why would someone send him a letter?

“Yes,” Long Leier nodded. “A few children brought it, saying it was for Big Brother Lin Pei.”

“Children?”

“Mhm, I see. Thank you, Junior Sister Leier,” Lin Xun thanked her.

“You’re welcome, Senior Brother.”

Long Leier handed the envelope to Lin Xun, bowed, and then left.

Opening the envelope, the first thing Lin Xun smelled was a scent that couldn’t be more familiar.

This scent is…

She Qiqi?!”
