Chapter 17

Qin Lin, indifferent, said, "What am I doing? Of course, I'm demolishing your shabby clinic!"

Saying that, he had the 'Miracle Doctor Clinic' sign taken down and thrown to the ground, then stomped on it.

"Swish, swish—!"

Before Qin Lin's foot could stomp on the signboard, a silver needle flew straight towards his eye!

"Ah!! My eye!" Qin Lin screamed in pain, clutching his eye.

"Who dares to cause trouble in my clinic?"

Qin Lily lifted the curtain and stepped out from the inner hall, followed by Ni Yan, whose face had significantly improved.

Ni Yan had taken a long time to finally recover!

"Brother Lin!" Qin Xin was shocked. Seeing blood streaming from Qin Lin's eye, she was terrified and glared at Qin Lily. "It's you! You attacked Brother Lin with a hidden weapon, didn't you!?"

Qin Lily sneered, "So what if I did?"

"You!" Qin Xin was furious.

Looking up and seeing Ni Yan behind her, Qin Xin felt relieved and quickly ran over. "Brother Yan, you're here! Are you alright? Chen'er told you before, this young nobody just appeared out of nowhere, he doesn't know any medical skills. Brother Yan, you shouldn't believe him..."

She noticed that Ni Yan's expression didn't look good and assumed that this so-called Huang had failed in his treatment. Although she didn't know what illness it was, as long as Huang failed, Brother Yan wouldn't spare him.

Qin Xin said sorrowfully, "Even Brother Lin got hurt by him, he's full of strange tricks..."

Before Qin Xin could finish, Qin Lily interrupted calmly, "Young Master Ni, my clinic just opened today, and someone's already here causing trouble. You won't stand by and do nothing, will you?"

Why not charge Ni Yan for treatment fees? Of course, she wanted free protection and an obvious backer.

Qin Lily sneered inwardly. She had known that opening a clinic opposite Qin's Divine Medicine Clinic would definitely attract trouble, but she hadn't expected it to come so soon.

But that was fine. She trusted that Ni Yan would help her handle it.

Sure enough, under Qin Xin's anxious gaze, Ni Yan impatiently said, "Qin Lin, what do you mean by this? Mr. Huang is a valued guest of the Ni family. Who allowed you to cause trouble here?"

Qin Lin, clutching his still bleeding eye, looked up in disbelief and fixed his remaining eye on Ni Yan, his gaze murderous.

"Ni Yan, are you crazy? I'm doing this for you!"

"You're the one who's crazy!" Ni Yan retorted, annoyed. "Why are you causing trouble at Mr. Huang's clinic? When did Mr. Huang ever offend you? Even if he did, Mr. Huang's clinic is now a valued guest of the Ni family. As long as the Ni family is in Tang City, no one is allowed to cause trouble here!"

In other words, the Ni family would be protecting this clinic from now on!

Mr. Huang had cured his illness, a life-saving grace. Beyond the immense gratitude for saving his life, Ni Yan had to honor his promise to protect this clinic. Besides, he seemed to have developed some other intentions recently.

Hearing this, Qin Lin's expression turned into one of utter disbelief.

"Get this straight, you're engaged to our Qin Divine Medicine Clinic!" Qin Lin hissed through gritted teeth, the pain in his eye intensifying along with his anger.

Qin Xin stood by, tearfully pleading, "Brother Yan..."

Ni Yan had agreed to the marriage alliance with the Qin family for the legendary lost divine medicine. The former Qin Divine Doctor had said only the divine medicine could cure his illness. It was rumored that Qin Lumin had taken the divine medicine when he fled, so Ni Yan had proposed the marriage, aiming to get the medicine.

But now that he was cured, he no longer cared about the marriage alliance. 

However, matters between the two families couldn't be easily canceled at his whim. Besides, Qin Lily was indeed quite attractive...

Ni Yan's tone softened as he said, "The engagement and this matter are two different things. You all need to leave now and don't come back!"

"Damn it..." Qin Lin cursed, almost ready to rush up and fight Ni Yan.

Meanwhile, Qin Lily, the person involved, was leisurely sipping tea on the side, as if it wasn't her newly opened clinic being disrupted.

With his eye injured, Qin Lin was naturally unwilling to back down. However, before he could take any action, a group of fierce guards suddenly barged in.

A clear voice rang out, "Divine Doctor! I'm here! Why didn't you tell me your clinic was opening today so I could come and support you... Huh? What's going on here? Who dares to cause trouble in my Divine Doctor's clinic? Are you looking for death?"

It was Ye An speaking.

Upon entering, he saw the tense standoff between Ni Yan and Qin Lin, and the mess in the clinic. He immediately slammed the table and declared, "Anyone who dares to touch my benefactor, I'll kill them!"

Ye An was a young master from the neighboring Ye City, with a significant background. His threat made even Qin Lin wary.

Qin Lin never expected that this unremarkable little clinic would actually know the notorious young master Ye An from Ye City!

"Oh, you're here?" Qin Lily greeted him with a smile, as if seeing an old friend. "Why didn't you bring your son along?"

Smiling on the outside, she was even more delighted inside.

Perfect. Each young master who showed up was more privileged and influential than the last.

Ye An's face turned red, losing all his earlier arrogance. He awkwardly said, "Divine Doctor... please don't tease me. You know that thing wasn't my son..."

The memory of the terrifying demonic flower made Ye An shudder. He quickly changed the subject.

"Qin Lin? Ni Yan? Are you the ones causing trouble here?"
