The man had handsome features, and in the sunlight, his eyes reflected a gloss darker than ink. However, his gaze carried a harmless warmth, resembling a piece of jade immersed in water, exceptionally unique.

The young man in embroidered brocade also observed Chu Qingzhi. This girl was beautiful but not vulgar, elegant without being flamboyant. Tall and exuding a sense of competence, she was outstanding. The young man wondered which family she belonged to.

When he noticed Chu Qingzhi looking at him, he couldn’t help but curve his lips slightly. “I am Lin Yingmin. I overheard that you are searching for turnips and purple hibiscus. It piqued my interest, so 1 came out to take a look.”

Chu Qingzhi thought about it and said frankly, “I’m indeed looking for these two herbs. Young Master, do you know where to find them?”

Lin Yingmin lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked, “Can I ask you what you want these two herbs for first?”

Chu Qingzhi’s gaze fell on Lin Yingmin’s legs. “Someone at home has a leg ailment, and I intend to use these herbs for a foot soak.”

Lin Yingmin’s eyes lit up. He looked at Chu Qingzhi with intense anticipation. “Miss, do you know medicine?”

Chu Qingzhi said reservedly, “I know a little.”

Lin Yingmin clenched his hands on his legs, and his voice trembled slightly. “Could you take a look at my legs?”

The anticipation in his eyes seemed to have materialized in front of Chu Qingzhi, as if it would shatter if Chu Qingzhi rejected him.

Meeting Lin Yingmin’s gaze, Chu Qingzhi sensed a layer of profound sadness in his eyes, making it difficult to refuse. “1 can, but I’m not sure if I can cure it.”

After hearing Chu Qingzhi’s words, Lin Yingmin seemed to have thought of something. In an instant, he restrained all his emotions and returned to his original state.

He said softly, “Having hope is better than having none.”

Chu Qingzhi stepped forward to feel Lin Yingmin’s pulse, and her heart trembled slightly. What kind of person had he offended to be subjected to such vindictive actions? Why would someone go to such lengths to harm him?

“Please wait a moment.” This person is an excellent opportunity for Qingning and her two disciples to practice. He was not in danger. Delaying for a while wouldn’t be an issue.

Chu Qingzhi went to call the three of them into the medical hall. “Take his pulse and see what’s wrong with his leg.”

“Yes, Fifth Sister.”

“Yes, Master.”

Lin Yingmin didn’t know what to say.

Chu Qingning stepped forward to pulse-check Lin Yingmin. After a moment, she frowned. “His legs are severely obstructed, but it seems there’s no clear illness. It’s a strange pulse.”

Then, Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang took his pulse together…

han Hongjun’s face darkened. “Silver needles have been inserted into all the acupuncture points on his legs.”

Bao Linjiang glanced at Zhan Hongjun. “The silver needles on his legs weren’t all inserted at once, but at intervals. The first time was probably about ten years ago.”

Zhan Hongjun nodded. “There’s one movable silver needle on each leg, traversing the meridians. When they encounter the fixed silver needles on the acupuncture points, his legs will experience intense pain.”

Bao Linjiang agreed. “The silver needles in his legs are as thin as fine hair, a total of eighteen. Currently, only one person in the world can forge such fine silver needles, but he’s already dead.”

Zhan Hongjun withdrew his fingers. “Master, this is our diagnosis.”

Chu Qingning was already stunned. How could they tell so much?

Listening to the diagnosis, Lin Yingmin felt a chill. He didn’t expect the other party to harbor such hatred for him, wishing him a fate worse than death. But then, a glimmer of hope surged. Since they could diagnose it, maybe they also knew the cure. “Doctors, can my legs be cured?”

Chu Qingzhi replied, “They can be cured, but it will take a considerable amount of time. We are in a hurry to find herbs, and our time is limited.”

Lin Yingmin said eagerly, “I know where to find the herbs you want, but it’s not easy to get them.”

Chu Qingzhi promised, “You tell us where, and we will find a way to get them. Help us with this, and we’ll immediately remove the needles and treat your legs.”

After some consideration, Lin Yingmin decided to trust Chu Qingzhi. He had no other choice. “Follow me.”

Lin Yingmin directly led the four people out of the city…

Halfway there, Lin Yingmin suddenly groaned, clutching the wheelchair’s armrests tightly. Veins protruded on his thin wrists, layers of cold sweat formed on his forehead, and his whole body trembled.

Chu Qingzhi exclaimed, “He’s having an attack!”

Chu Qingzhi reached out and grabbed Lin Yingmin’s wrist, infusing him with a bit of spiritual energy. In a breath, Lin Yingmin felt no pain.

He slowly raised his head, looking at Chu Qingzhi’s face, which was white as porcelain. In that moment, Chu Qingzhi seemed to glow, illuminating his entire world.

For so many years, each episode lasted much longer. But just now, in a brief moment, the pain disappeared. This girl helped him escape the hellish torment.

Having traversed icy glaciers for years, on the verge of death from freezing, suddenly, the heavens gave him a bit of warmth.

He must seize this warmth!

“Thank you for saving me, Miss.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Let’s continue.”

Lin Yingmin’s eyes were full of gentleness. “Okay.”

Chu Qingning looked at Lin Yingmin a few more times. The way he looked at Fifth Sister seemed to have changed.

Under Lin Yingmin’s lead, they arrived at the nunnery outside the city.

The nunnery was surrounded by pine trees, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of brown leaves. As they approached, they could smell the scent of fresh pine wood.

Chu Qingzhi ran to the entrance of the nunnery and looked around before turning back to ask Lin Yingmin, “Are you sure turnip and purple hibiscus are planted in this nunnery?”

Lin Yingmin raised his eyes. “I’m sure.” His mother was in this nunnery, and he often came. How could he not be sure?”

Chu Qingning’s gaze shifted to Chu Qingzhi and she asked uncertainly, “Fifth Sister, can we go in?”

Just as Chu Qingzhi was about to answer, a young nun with a fair complexion approached. “Dear guests, the nunnery has some matters to attend to today and will not entertain outsiders. Please return.”

With that, the little nun closed the door.

Everyone was speechless.

Chu Qingzhi asked Lin Yingmin, “Is there an important person residing in this nunnery?”

Lin Yingmin sounded uncertain, “Many people in the nunnery never show themselves, and I have no way of knowing their identities.”

Chu Qingzhi, upon hearing this, thought of some possibilities. Could there be important consorts or figures residing here?

Zhan Hongjun looked at Chu Qingzhi. “Master, what should we do next?”

She wouldn’t go back empty-handed. Chu Qingzhi lowered her eyelashes and thought for a moment. “You all find a place to wait. I’ll go and take a look.”

Chu Qingning held Chu Qingzhi’s hand and worriedly advised, “Fifth Sister, be careful. We’ll wait for you from a distance.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”

After the few of them walked away, Chu Qingzhi retracted her aura and left the place in a flash..
