The Martial Doctor

"Senior sister, are you going with me?" Lin Miao didn’t want Sun Youwei to endure the fatigue and risk of travel.

But Sun Youwei was eager to go.

"Yes, I want to stay by your side, just to see you is enough." Sun Youwei nodded.

"Silly girl, if you’re willing, I’m willing to keep you by my side for a lifetime." Lin Miao knew Sun Youwei wasn’t jealous or anything else; she genuinely wanted to be with him.

Of course, there was also a sense of worry.

Forget it, even if Sun Youwei stays home, he wouldn’t feel at ease. Who knows if the people from the Green Blade Sect might act irrationally someday? If they casually decide to deal with him, the senior sister staying home would only be in danger.

At this critical moment, staying by his side is safer.

Moreover, if a major battle breaks out, there will inevitably be casualties, and the senior sister’s medical skills are not at all inferior, which could help him when the time comes.

"Get ready, we’re leaving immediately."

"Yes!"

"Young master, my master told me she’s sensing a breakthrough opportunity and wants to join us outside the city." Liansuo reported.

"Alright, let’s all go together." Upon hearing this, Lin Miao couldn’t help but feel delighted. If Helian Wanwan could achieve a breakthrough, even if that hidden expert appears, they would have the power to fight.

"There’s no need to bring anything; everything is here at the manor."

...

"Mrs. Yun, the house is in your hands; we’ll be back soon." Before leaving, Lin Miao entrusted Mrs. Yun with the household affairs.

"Don’t worry, I’m here at home." Mrs. Yun nodded, understanding that Lin Miao was no longer the naive and dull Mr. Lin.

Throughout the past year, Lin Miao had transformed drastically, akin to being reborn, although she still liked the past version of Mr. Lin, the present one gave her things she never imagined in this lifetime.

A woman from a small place, she could now witness the splendor and brilliance of the world.

She didn’t expect to help Lin Miao significantly; she only hoped to help Lin Miao and Sun Youwei in maintaining their family estate.

...

In the kitchen of Huaye Tower, Qingtang pushed open Luu Wan’s designated rest room.

"Mrs. Wan, Mrs. Wan..."

"What are you calling? I’m here." Luu Wan’s voice came from behind Qingtang, scaring her into thinking she’d seen a ghost.

"What’s going on, sneaky? I’m your master, it’s normal for you to find me at Huaye Tower." Luu Wan walked past Qingtang into the room, "Are you worried that people won’t know about our special relationship?"

"Mrs. Wan, something’s happened at home." Qingtang said anxiously, "Right now, apart from Mr. Xie and a few protectors and a few like Jade Pearl, Mr. Lin and Youwei have all gone out."

"Out? It’s almost dark, what’s the hurry? Are they attending a banquet?" Luu Wan remarked with surprise. Knowing Su Chen arrived, if he invited them to Star-Picking Tower for dinner, it would be normal, but if it was at Star-Picking Tower, she should know as the head chef.

Now, Star-Picking Tower’s kitchen is also run by Huaye Tower, but the two high-end restaurants operate under differentiated strategies, offering varying dishes to avoid destructive competition.

Additionally, Star-Picking Tower isn’t on the same street as Huaye Tower, and Dongshan City is large enough to accommodate two high-end restaurants.

Guests can choose their preferred restaurant knowing the relationship between Star-Picking Tower and Huaye Tower, given the factor of distance.

Therefore, after Huaye Tower took over the operation of Star-Picking Tower’s kitchen, with improvements in dishes, business improved greatly without causing any significant impacts to Huaye Tower.

But if Star-Picking Tower had particularly important banquet events, Huaye Tower would arrange chefs to oversee them or provide support, and more flexible staffing maximizes efficiency.

This results in lowered operational costs and increased profits for Star-Picking Tower while enhancing Huaye Tower’s chefs’ capabilities for future openings in other cities.

These endeavors are undeniably beneficial.

"Doesn’t seem likely; they didn’t wear formal wear and were rather hurriedly leaving." Qingtang said, "They even took medical kits and weapons."

Regarding matters at the Xue Family Manor, Luu Wan naturally had her news channels, being a registered Blade Catcher herself, although she didn’t answer the call to action that night.

The Blade Catching call for action wasn’t mandatory; it was all voluntary. Naturally, she couldn’t go while hiding her identity, but as a mid-high rank member of Daoist Sect, she had her own sources.

During New Year’s, the Blade Catching Alliance attacked the estate outside of Lingyang Marquis City. Only later did people realize the Blood Evil Thieves, wanted by the imperial court for the Crown Prince assassination, were hiding within the manor. Blade Catching Alliance somehow got the news and issued a call...

After which, the Dongshan Prefecture Governor Pei Jian directly deployed troops to seize control of Xue Family Manor, but inexplicably, the Blade Catching members didn’t leave, but accepted employment from Pei Jian, suggesting something is amiss.

Luu Wan even suspected Pei Jian plotted everything behind the scenes; how else could they cooperate so seamlessly?

"Don’t meddle with Lin’s business, curb your curiosity, don’t cause trouble for me."

"Mrs. Wan, why are you hiding your identity in Lin’s household exactly?" Qingtang has asked this countless times.

"Child, don’t pry into that, plus, have you been frequently finding excuses to enter the inner courtyard lately?"

"Mrs. Wan, during New Year’s a few unfamiliar ladies arrived at the house, aren’t you curious? They’re staying in the inner courtyard, never going out, not knowing their relationship with our young master..."
