Truth Revealed in a Sentence

A question mark slowly appeared in the minds of Lu Dong and Lu Xi.

Had their young lord just asked an 18-year-old, unknown person who only did farming, Cheng family's fake daughter to treat his illness?!

Lu Qi was poisoned seven years ago. After that, he went to many places and visited many peerless experts but no one could cure him. Now, he actually asked such a little girl to treat him?

Lu Dong again could not hold it in. He could not let the young lord make his own decision!

Therefore, he sent a message to Lu Xiu. "Young Master Lu! Young Lord is really sick! To pursue a girl, he is even willing to give up his own life!"

After that, Lu Dong planned to personally persuade him. "Young Master, this... this Cheng family's daughter is only 18 years old. What medical skills does she have? What if she gives you wrong medicine and it damages your body?"

Cheng Ling's eyes glanced at Lu Dong. There was calmness in her eyes, but it was full of strength.

It was fine to doubt her other things, but definitely not her medical skills. Medical practitioners had a heavy responsibility. Every dose of medicine and every needle, they have to fall into place. And the medicine had to be right. This was not only an obligation, but also a responsibility to save the common people.

Her this identity was not allowed to be tarnished by anyone.

Lu Qi did not speak. His eyes were still looking straight at Cheng Ling, full of seriousness while Cheng Ling walked towards Lu Dong.

Lu Dong swallowed his saliva. His heart suddenly began to beat faster. He kept encouraging himself in his heart. After all, he had been on countless battlefields over the years and had met countless sly opponents. How could he be afraid of such a weak little girl?

The weather was no longer as cold as before, and mosquitoes began to appear. Cheng Ling stretched out her hand and clapped in front of Lu Dong, killing a mosquito that was randomly flying around and waiting to suck his blood.

The "pa" sound was especially clear in this quiet night.

Lu Dong, who had even heard the sound of gunshots before, staggered half a step back.

...

Was your half a step back really serious?

Lu Qi's eyes, which were always full of fatigue, were now filled with a smile, while Lu Xi directly laughed out loud.

Cheng Ling put down her hands and thought to herself, why were these bodyguards of the Lu family always so noisy? They didn't have the manners of bodyguards. They're even worse than the little yellow dog at the entrance of the Cheng Residence!

"This...Sir," Cheng Ling crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Lu Dong carefully. "Since you have doubt on me, why don't you let me treat you? Maybe you have some incurable disease, and I'll become your savior?"

Lu Dong, who was originally a little scared, was immediately angry when he heard this.

"What are you talking about? It's only you who have incurable disease! Jinx!"

"Lu Dong!" Lu Qi reprimanded, "You can't be so rude to my doctor."

Was the young lord serious? He even addressed her as a doctor now?! It was only half an hour, what kind of demon has the young lord fallen into? ? Why did he seem like a completely different person?

Lu Dong's small brain was filled with great doubts.

"Since Miss Cheng wants to help you check your health, then let's give it a try," Lu Qi said again. He had always been very accurate in judging people. Why not let Lu Dong experience it directly so that he could be convinced?

Since Lu Qi had said that, Lu Dong had no choice but to agree reluctantly.

"Stretch out your hand, straighten the vein, palm up."

Lu Dong did as he was told and stretched out his right hand.

"Your arm should be at the same level as your heart."

"Do you really know how? It's just feeling a pulse and why do you have so many requirements?!"

Faced with Lu Dong's doubts and stomps, Cheng Ling was very calm. Under the moonlight, the outline of her face appeared even more gentle, as if her entire person had been plated with a layer of cold moonlight.

"It is precisely because I am responsible for you that I have so many requirements. Although I can take your pulse in any way, this is the best way. If I don't take your pulse correctly, it will affect the qi and blood circulation and then the pulse."

Lu Dong moved his lips and did not speak, but he still followed Cheng Ling's instructions and put up the posture accordingly.

Cheng Ling put her index finger, middle finger, and ring finger together flat, and accurately placed on the Cunkou acupoint. She applied some pressure, and after feeling his pulse, Cheng Ling closed her eyes.

For a moment, no one spoke, and even the wind stopped blowing. Everything was silent, as if no one was there.

A few seconds later, Cheng Ling opened her eyes. Under the moonlight, her eyes seemed to flicker with light. The moment she opened her eyes, Lu Qi felt an unknown emotion break out of the ground and grow wantonly.

"Miss Cheng, what's the outcome?" Lu Qi asked curiously.
