221 It is My Lady

After processing Cao Zhibai's words, Ling Chuxi finally understood that this was a person who had brought out such a rare herb to the auction in hopes of luring in an expert capable of saving someone he knew who needed help.

"Could you tell me a little more about the condition of the person you want me to save?" asked Ling Chuxi after a moment of thought.

However, as her two legs are inconvenienced, she is worried about being a burden to me and therefore she has been unwilling to agree to anything officially. So, I hope…"

"I see. I will need to see the patient before I am able to diagnose her and give my verdict on her condition. Master Cao, when will you be able to bring me to see her?" said Ling Chuxi after some pondering.
