After the car drove past the iron wall, they continued to drive for a while longer.
Finally, after passing a few more buildings, it came to a stop in a very quiet small garden.
There was a small building in the garden, in which there were many flowers and trees adorning it, providing an elegant look to the environment.
Linlan kicked the car door open and jumped out of the car. Without saying even a word to Luo Ziling, she simply strode towards the small building,
As she approached the building, a tall, expressionless man came out from inside.
Lin Lan nodded and greeted him, then stood and waited for Luo Ziling.
Luo Ziling pushed open the car door and observed the garden and the small building curiously, then looked to the cold-faced man standing beside Linlan. Then, he walked towards the building, a bit of anxiety festering in his heart.
“This is the man?” The stone-faced man seemed rather taken aback at Luo Ziling’s young age. After seeing his appearance, he asked Linlan in disbelief, ‘Are you sure he can heal the chief’s injury?”
“He should be able to,” she answered softly, then waved at Luo Ziling, indicating for him to come over quickly.
Luo Ziling hurried up to her, then looked at the unfriendly man and asked, “Is this man the patient?”
“No!” Linlan shook her head, but did not explain further. ‘Follow me, and remember what I told you just now.”
And with that, Luo Ziling followed her into the small building without saying a word.
However, she did not go upstairs. Instead, she walked around the corridor and headed straight to the backyard.
The man who had looked at him with unfriendly eyes just now did not follow them, which relieved him just a little.
That man’s gaze was very cold, with faint killing intent hidden within his eyes. It gave Luo Ziling a sense of unease.
He did not see any soldiers or patrolling sentries near this small building, but he could sense an indescribable killing intent permeating the atmosphere here, which weighed on his heart and made him feel restless.
‘When he was in the car with Linlan, he did not feel any pressure, but now that he was following behind her, he felt an invisible pressure, as if there was a peerless expert hiding here.
In the past, with the sole exception of his grandfather, he had never felt any pressure from anyone before.
‘When he had entered this place, he did not feel this uncomfortable pressure when he was facing the soldiers with guns, or even when they pointed their guns at his body.
“There’s probably some kind of skilled expert here. They might even have skills on par with my grandfather!” This was what Luo Ziling subconsciously thought.
After turning around two corridors, another garden, also filled with trees and flowers, came into view. The invisible pressure was getting stronger and stronger.
Linlan’s footsteps were not as strong and purposeful as when she first came in. Instead, they was very light, as if she was afraid of waking someone up.
As she walked, she turned her head and gestured for Luo Ziling to keep quiet.
After walking through one last corridor, Luo Ziling suddenly caught sight of a person.
An old man with a white beard and hair was lying on a bamboo deck chair. Not far from the old man, two young women in nurse uniforms were standing by the side with their heads lowered, their expressions filled with trepidation.
This old man’s facial features were very rough. The most distinctive feature was his silver needle-like beard, which accentuated the rough look on his face. It was then that Luo Ziling finally understood where the indescribable sense of oppression came from-it was coming from this old man, lying on the
recliner with his eyes closed, as if he was seriously ill. Even though the old man’s eyes were closed, he could still feel the fierce aura coming from them. This man gave off the aura of a king, and Luo Ziling couldn’t hide the fact that he felt apprehensive in his presence.
However, he wasn’t like most people. Although he was indeed intimidated, after taking two deep breaths, he maintained his calmness.
As if he sensing something when Luo Ziling was brought before him, the old man suddenly opened his eyes.
As soon as he did so, Luo Ziling felt a fierce gaze aimed right at him. In an instant, the pressure he’d been feeling increased tenfold, as if the whole of Mount Tai was pressing down on him. It made him nervous, flustered, and he even felt the impulse to kneel down and bow before this man.
It was only then did he fully understand why he was so on edge and uncomfortable after walking into this small garden.
This was where the owner’s aura was, giving those ordinary things spiritual energy and dignity.
Luo Ziling had felt an aura from his grandfather before, and had also felt it from Ouyang Lingyun and Ouyang Feifei.
Although his grandfather’s aura was powerful, Luo Ziling, who had long been used to his aura, did not feel anything special.
Ouyang Lingyun and Ouyang Feifei’s aura could not be compared to his grandfather’s at all, and Luo Ziling had easily brushed them off the first time he experienced it.
However, this white-haired old man lying on the recliner gave him an indescribable amount of pressure even though he’d only opened his eyes slightly. It was enough that Luo Ziling found it hard to breathe. He tried hard to adjust himself and took two deep breaths before returning to normal.
“Eh? !”The old man seemed to be very surprised by what he’d done. Seeing that he immediately returned to normal after a little nervousness, the old man’s cloudy eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, “Kid, who are you?”
There was obvious surprise in his voice.
Luo Ziling did not know how to answer. He had completely lost his imposing manner. Linlan, who was standing at the side very obediently, answered for him, “Chief, this is the doctor I invited here. He is the Young Godly Doctor Who Saved my life after I was unfortunately injured in the mission last time.”
These words surprised Luo Ziling. Lin Lan had actually called him a “Young Godly Doctor.” Although this was not the first time he had heard this title, it felt completely different when it came from the mouth of a great beauty with an extraordinary status like Linlan. He couldn’t help but feel a little smug at
that.
“Oh!” The old chief narrowed his eyes and sized up Luo Ziling from top to bottom. Then, he nodded in approval. “Not bad, much better than the average person,” he praised.
Luo Ziling suddenly remembered Linlan’s instructions and didn’t say anything. Moreover, he didn’t know what to say to begin with.
The old man had praised him for being better than the average person, but there was no way he was thick-skinned enough to say that he was indeed much better than the average person in every aspect possible.
Although Luo Ziling would often engage in self-flattery, he was embarrassed to do it in front of a beautiful woman and an old man. Oh, and since there were also two curious beautiful nurses standing by the side, so he just puffed his chest out.
“There really aren’t many people who dare to stand up straight in front of me,” the old man looked at Luo Ziling and praised him again, “I’m starting to believe in your medical skills. Originally, I didn’t want any doctors to treat my illness, but I’ll give you a chance to do so.”
Upon hearing the other party say this, Luo Ziling felt a little angry. He immediately replied, “No, you’re wrong, The chance isn’t for you to give me, but for me to give you. You have to know that I’ma doctor, and you’re a patient. Whether or not I want to treat you, and in what way, that’s my business and mine
alone. Right now, I’m the one giving you a chance, not you.”
Luo Ziling’s words shocked the old man and also completely changed Linlan’s expression.
It was over. Why did this kid not listen to her at all? And he even had the guts to say such heinous words!
If the chief was angry, then he would most likely die. She didn’t even know if he’d be able to walk out of this place unscathed or not..
