"But aren't you friends with him?" Wang Guozhen smiled, undeterred by Mu Lin's assertion.
Mu Lin grinned, "Who told you that I was friends with her?" She was certain she never said such a thing.
"Aren't you?" Hearing Mu Lin's words, Wang Guozhen was taken aback. "But wait!" He knit his brows, unsure of what to say.
He found the young girl before him to be unfathomable. Despite her youth, she seemed to have experienced everything, understanding all aspects of life thoroughly.
Mu Lin watched his troubled expression and chuckled, "It seems that you really...admire the Poison Doctor." Using the word 'admire' for the elder Chinese Medicine practitioner before her felt somewhat strange.
This man was one generation above her Master.
Mu Lin had never considered that she would be respected by such an elder. After all, her reputation, while renowned, was not a positive one. It never crossed her mind that an experienced Chinese Medicine practitioner like him would hold her in high esteem.
