Battered Jing Lin (3)

The man said nothing and silently approached Jing Lin. His large hand grabbed the old man lying on the floor, as though picking up a chick, and ruthlessly tossed him to the side!

Bang!

The elderly man's body slammed against the door, his throat became sweet in an instant, and he sprayed out a mouthful of fresh blood. His complexion was livid due to rage.

"Yun Luofeng!" he roared savagely, glaring intensely at Yun Luofeng with cruel eyes.

Just then, a voice suddenly came through, breaking the mutual hostile atmosphere.

"Our Elder Rong won't be seeing visitors today, so..."

Lin Xiao was about to make all the people present leave when he suddenly spotted Yun Luofeng standing amongst the crowd and could not help but startle.

Jing Lin was oblivious to this anomaly and scrambled to rise from the ground, his large hand caressing his injured chest and his complexion was extremely unsightly. "Shopkeeper Lin, someone's stirring up trouble at your Medical Pavilion, will you just ignore it?"

Lin Xiao knitted his brows, subconsciously looking at Yun Luofeng, whose arms were folded across her chest.

Yun Luofeng's face was enigmatic as she stared at Lin Xiao with wickedly smiling eyes.

Lin Xiao bitterly chuckled. Elder Rong's stance on Miss Yun was very obvious. Even if they had to give up on the imperial clan, they would still need to protect her safety! However, he couldn't gauge the attitude of Miss Yun at all. What if she did not want to reveal her brilliant aptitude in medicine, and he exposed her identity instead? He's terrified that he would cause her ire. 

Lamentably, Lin Xiao did not know that Yun Luofeng's skill in medicine was already exposed last night...

"Our Medical Pavilion will settle this matter ourselves."

Lin Xiao tightly furrowed his brows. All he wanted to do right now was to make Jing Lin leave. As for the other matters, they were not something he could question. 

"Of course I believe in your Medical Pavilion's skill." When Jing Lin heard these words, he even thought the Medical Pavilion would give justice to him, and his aging appearance could not refrain from showing pleasure. "But this Yun Luofeng isn't only conceited and arrogant, she's also incomparably cunning. I'm afraid that your Medical Pavilion would be unknowingly deceived by her. Just like yesterday, she randomly hired an old man to pretend to be sick and then volunteered to save that old man. As a result, everyone believes that she has an outstanding talent in medicine, when in fact, she's still the same useless person like before!"

The corner of Yun Luofeng lips tilted up. She did not think that Jing Lin would go as far as making an excuse like an elderly man faking an illness just so he could convince himself that she could not really treat the old man!

"Lin Xiao!" An old voice slowly traveled behind Lin Xiao. 

The Medical Pavilion inner hall's curtain was lifted, and two elderly men came out from it.

One of the old men was dressed in a white robe, having the manner of an immortal and the bearing of an expert. The other old man wore a cyan robe, and his aging face showed an ailing appearance. A pretty young lady closely accompanied him on the side. The girl was currently lending her arm to support the cyan-robed old man to slowly come out.

"Elder Rong, Elder Ning."

Lin Xiao turned to face the two elderlies, respectfully cupping his hands in salute.

"Humph! I don't know who dares to cause trouble at our Medical Pavilion! Quickly get lost already!" Elder Rong's temperament was extremely volatile, his sight sweeping everyone in the main hall until it finally settled on Jing Lin.

Jing Lin naturally was oblivious that the person that Elder Rong spoke of was him. He even thought that the other person was rebuking Yun Luofeng; a touch of pleasure flashed through his eyes, and, thus, he roared at Yun Luofeng, "Yun Luofeng, didn't you hear Elder Rong's words? Make yourself scarce from Medical Pavilion this instant! Medical Pavilion will never welcome an arrogant person like you!"
