The Martial Doctor

"Old geezer, don’t push your luck!"

"Hehe, Situ Wan, if you don’t help me, I’ll tell my good disciple nephew about your identity, and also my disciple niece..."

"You dare!" Situ Wan (Luu Wan) exuded an aura at the Peak of Meridian Passage Realm, and her eyes almost manifested substantial killing intent.

"I just want you to help me find something, is that too much? Okay, I was wrong back then. I didn’t want to involve you. You know people from the Wuyou Sect are chasing me all over the world..."

"Dongguo Sun, say any more and I’ll kill you myself." Situ Wan snapped, "You’re delusional to think that even if all the men in the world were dead, I, Situ Wan, would ever like you! Completely unreasonable!"

"Alright, alright, you’ve turned your back on me now, I have no choice. But you have to help me. I need to make the antidote for the Wuyou Elixir. I can’t show myself, so I have to ask for your help."

"Why don’t you go find your disciple nephew, wouldn’t it be more convenient for him?"

"He’s living well these days, and I don’t want to drag him into this. I’ve already let my junior disciple down, I can’t harm his daughter too, can I?"

"At least you still have a conscience!" Situ Wan snorted coldly.

"Back then, I was also afraid of implicating you..."

"Get lost!"

Situ Wan was in a terrible mood. Ever since seeing Dongguo Sun appear at the Lin residence, she knew her good days there were numbered.

"Here’s what you wanted, take it and leave quickly!"

"Hehe, you’re still the most caring, Wan."

"Old geezer, if you don’t get lost, believe it or not, I’ll beat you up!" Situ Wan was so furious with Dongguo Sun that her lungs nearly burst. She finally managed to get away from Qingtang, and if this girl found out, how would she live her life?

This girl is as smart as her mother. If not for her poor skills, she’d probably have caught up by now.

Ah.

With her following, there aren’t enough resources for her cultivation. Staying longer might really delay her.

Without resources from the sect, just secretly getting by, her own cultivation has stagnated for months.

She had finally found her senior disciple sister’s daughter, could she give up and leave just like that?

Situ Wan was really unwilling.

Her senior disciple sister is still suffering in that place, she’s persevering for the day she can reunite with her daughter and husband, isn’t she?

But unfortunately, her senior disciple sister’s husband is gone, damn it, he even said the sister died in childbirth, how could she explain that?

Dongguo Sun, this old lecher, he must know the truth. How did he find Lin Miao and Sun Youwei? Could there be a connection between them?

Sun Simiao, that bastard, probably has contact with his bastard senior disciple brother...

After staying in the Lin Family for more than a year, working like a horse, there’s been no opportunities found, and, while doing it, it actually feels quite good. The treatment isn’t as good as at the Daoist Sect, but it’s free and comfortable.

"Mrs. Wan, what are you thinking?"

"You troublesome girl, you entered without knocking..." Seeing Qingtang behind her, Situ Wan couldn’t help but reprimand.

"You didn’t close the door, so I just walked in directly, were you distracted just now?" Qingtang chuckled, "Daydreaming at work, that’s a deduction from your pay. I’ll tell Mrs. Shi Yin, your performance pay is gone today."

"What, betraying for the greater good, huh? You don’t believe me, report it, and tomorrow I’ll find an excuse to boot you out of Huaye Tower!" Situ Wan said, "That’s right, didn’t you want to go to Juxu Pass for New Year? Make a mistake, that’ll give me the excuse?"

"No, Mrs. Wan, I’ve thought it through, the New Year can be spent later. If I go now, my dad and Mrs. Lan won’t feel comfortable, and neither will I. I’ll visit after the New Year."

"You’ve grown sensible, thinking about your dad now, that’s very good."

Qingtang was about to retort when Luu Wan glanced at her, signaling her to stay silent, as she heard footsteps approaching the door.

Someone was coming to find her.

About three breaths later, Shi Yin appeared at the entrance of Luu Wan’s workspace, the door was open, so she walked right in: "Mrs. Luu, oh, Hai Tang is here too."

"Greetings, Mrs. Shi Yin." Hai Tang quickly bowed and greeted.

"Since Hai Tang is also here, I have something to tell you both." Shi Yin glanced at Qingtang, then turned her gaze to Luu Wan.

"Please go ahead." Luu Wan nodded slightly. In the Lin residence, although Shi Yin was in a servant’s position, her status was higher than Luu Wan’s as a cook.

At Huaye Tower, Shi Yin managed the operations, while Luu Wan was only the head chef, so her position was also beneath Shi Yin.

Whether inside or outside, Luu Wan had to be more respectful towards Shi Yin to align with her role’s persona.

"It’s the New Year, the residence is getting busy, we’re short of staff, and we want Hai Tang to help out for a while. It won’t be long, maybe ten days to half a month, and during this period, her pay will be doubled, along with a bonus, so she won’t be treated unfairly," Shi Yin said, also glancing at the slightly nervous Qingtang nearby.

"I have no problem with that. The kitchen staff is sufficient here, and if Hai Tang can go help at the residence, I’d naturally be pleased." Luu Wan couldn’t exactly refuse, could she?

"Fine, it’s settled then. Hai Tang, go and pack up, head to the residence, and report to Xiaolian in the kitchen."

"Yes, Mrs. Shi Yin." Qingtang quickly replied.

"Hai Tang is doing well, Mrs. Luu, you’ve got a good apprentice." Watching Qingtang quickly leave, Shi Yin praised.

"You’re too kind; Hai Tang is quite clever, though still somewhat lacking in stability." Luu Wan said.

"She’s still young, she can be taught slowly." Shi Yin nodded, "You’re busy, I’ll leave first."
