Chapter 1033: Treatment

Her voice sounded especially sudden in the silent living room.
Lin Tianfeng knitted his brows. "Why? Do you think it’s not good?"
Lu Yu’er knew that she had lost her composure and hurriedly laughed to hide it. "No, no. Master, don’t misunderstand. I-I was just a little surprised…"
This woman doesn’t look anything special. Why would he agree to let her treat Lin Zhifei?
"To gain Master’s nod of approval, this Ms. Dugu must be outstanding," she said as she glanced at Chu Liuyue. "Ms. Dugu’s heavenly doctor cultivation level must be very high, right?"
Chu Liuyue simply smiled. "Madam Lin, you’re too kind. I’m just a seventh-grade heavenly doctor."
Lu Yu’er slightly widened her eyes in much disbelief, and she instinctively looked at Lin Tianfeng.
Lin Tianfeng said, "Even though this Ms. Dugu is just a seventh-grade heavenly doctor, she’s quite capable. She might be able to do it if we give her a try."
Lu Yu’er almost thought that Lin Tianfeng was joking. Is he serious? Even a seventh-grade heavenly doctor has the right to treat Lin Zhifei now? I still clearly remember how Lin Tianfeng treated the eighth-grade and even ninth-grade heavenly doctors in the family clan when they couldn’t treat Lin Zhifei. However, what is going on now?
"Master, I know that you’re worried about Zhifei, b-but… We can’t randomly find someone to treat him just because we’re anxious!" Knowing that Chu Liuyue’s cultivation level was average, Lu Yu’er didn’t care about her as she directly pulled Lin Tianfeng over and worriedly said, "T-this woman comes from an ambiguous background. Do you really want to let her treat Zhifei? You also know that Zhifei hates strangers. If this aggravates his illness…"
"With me around, what’s there to be worried about?" Lin Tianfeng didn’t care about Lu Yu’er’s worries. What trouble can a young woman from the outside realm—who even has a child—cause? This is the Lin Residence. How could I be afraid?
"But—"
"Besides, she has seen Zhifei before, so she’s not considered a stranger."
This was also another important reason why Lin Tianfeng was willing to let her try. Lin Zhifei had always been introverted and didn’t talk much—even the people in the Lin Residence might not be able to talk to him.
Since he was willing to talk to this woman, then… There is no harm in letting her try.
Lu Yu’er was secretly shocked. W-when did this happen? Why don’t I know about it?
She wanted to say more, but seeing that Lin Tianfeng had already made up his mind, she sensibly didn’t object further. "Then… We’ll listen to Master for everything. If Zhifei can become well, nothing else matters."
This matter feels amiss in every aspect. Perhaps it will turn out to be nothing after all these troubles! Thinking of this, Lu Yu’er relaxed a little.
Lin Tianfeng looked at Chu Liuyue. "Follow me."
…
As the Lin family’s Fourth Young Master, Lin Zhifei had a distinguished status, but he lived in a desolated yard in the residence’s south-western corner.
Chu Liuyue followed Lin Tianfeng and finally reached his place after walking quite a distance.
Standing outside the yard, Chu Liuyue saw the jade bamboo that took up half the courtyard through the moon door.
Seeing that Lin Tianfeng was here, the pageboy hurriedly greeted him. "Master."
Lin Tianfeng waved his hands and looked inside. "Where’s Zhifei?"
"Master, Fourth Young Master has been resting in the house the whole time. He’s reading books now."
Lin Tianfeng nodded. "Go and announce that I’ve invited a heavenly doctor to treat him."
In all these years, the same situation had happened countless times. The pageboys serving here had long become used to it, so they acknowledged the order and turned around to report to Lin Zhifei.
When the pageboy left, he glanced from the corner of his eye and swiftly spotted Chu Liuyue standing behind. He secretly felt curious. This woman looks very unfamiliar. Is this the heavenly doctor that Master has invited?
But it wasn’t his place to ask this, so he hurriedly left.
Not long later, the pageboy returned. "Master, Fourth Young Master invites you and the heavenly doctor in."
Before Lin Tianfeng immediately took action, he glanced at Lu Yu’er beside him. "Yu’er, you can… go back first."
Lu Yu’er didn’t seem to find it surprising as she nodded lightly.
Chu Liuyue watched from the side and noticed some things. This Lin family is rather interesting. As the Lin family head, Lin Tianfeng has to inform his son in advance before he enters the latter’s courtyard. This Madam Lin isn’t wanted at all either as she can’t even enter the courtyard.
Lin Tianfeng nodded in comfort. "You’ve been taking good care of Zhifei all these years with all your heart, but he still doesn’t understand it yet. Sooner or later, he will accept you."
Lu Yu’er looked slightly aggrieved, but she still smiled gently. "Master, you’re right. Quickly take Ms. Dugu in. I’ll go first."
Then, she bowed and directly left.
Lin Tianfeng sighed as if feeling apologetic before he stepped in. "Let’s go."
Chu Liuyue pulled Dugu Mobao closely behind her.
…
When they entered the house, Lin Zhifei was reading a book. Hearing the noise, he stood up. "Father."
"We’re father and son—there’s no need to stand on ceremony. Quickly, sit!" Lin Tianfeng hurriedly walked over.
Lin Zhifei nodded slightly and later looked at Chu Liuyue standing behind. He was slightly dazed. "It’s you?"
Even though her face was ordinary, with her pair of sparkling, black gem-like eyes and the child with purple hair and eyes beside her, it was hard for him not to recall her.
Chu Liuyue smiled and bowed. "I’m Dugu Yue. Greetings, Fourth Young Master."
Seeing that the duo really knew each other, Lin Tianfeng felt more at ease.
Lin Zhifei suddenly realized something. "You’re… the heavenly doctor that Father invited?"
Chu Liuyue blinked. "Actually, I came to the residence on my own. I previously received your help, but I haven’t had the chance to thank you properly. Hence, I specifically came over to return your favor."
Lin Zhifei was stunned for a while before he recovered his senses. He glanced at his father, who was by the side. This Dugu Yue is from outside the realm, yet Father was willing to let her treat me. Is she really someone incredible?
"You don’t have to waste your efforts." Lin Zhifei’s thin lips curled up into an extremely faint smile as his eyes were distant and cold. "I know my own body’s condition."
I’ve tried so many methods, but they were all to no avail. I don’t feel that the woman before me has any special methods.
Chu Liuyue didn’t give up. "Fourth Young Master, you have to try before you know for sure, right?"
Lin Tianfeng couldn’t help but softly advise, "Yeah! Zhifei, I know that you don’t want to cause trouble. If it’s an ordinary heavenly doctor, I wouldn’t have let her in either. This woman… does seem rather capable. Just let her take your pulse first, and we can discuss the rest later, okay?"
Hearing his father put it this way, Lin Zhifei couldn’t reject him further. He paused for a moment and finally nodded. "Okay."
Chu Liuyue then walked forward.
Lin Tianfeng passed a handkerchief over and placed it on his son’s wrist.
Chu Liuyue didn’t mind it as she lightly placed her white and slim fingers atop it..
