Luo Sheng’s eyes lit up: “Divine Physician Li? The Divine Physician Li who can bring people back from death and regrow flesh on bones?”

Luo Yue couldn’t help but snort softly: “You don’t even know which Divine Physician Li, yet you ask so many questions—”

Luo Sheng suddenly looked at her with a severe expression: “When adults are speaking, don’t interrupt!”

Luo Yue muttered unconvinced: “You’re only one year older than me—”

“I’ve had my coming-of-age ceremony, while you’re still not an adult.” Luo Sheng’s tone was indifferent, yet it hit the mark precisely.

Luo Yue immediately had nothing to say, despair surfacing in her eyes.

It wasn’t her imagination—Luo Sheng had truly changed, becoming sharp-tongued and fierce.

How would she get through the days ahead?

Luo Sheng paid Luo Yue no more attention and looked toward Pingli.

Pingli nodded: “Precisely that Divine Physician Li.”

Even Imperial Physician Wang couldn’t help but say: “In this world, besides Divine Physician Li, who else could be worthy of the title ‘Divine Physician’?”

A smile slowly bloomed on Luo Sheng’s lips.

Yes, in this world besides Divine Physician Li, who else could be worthy of the title “Divine Physician”?

It was so twelve years ago, and remained so twelve years later.

And Divine Physician Li, who could pull people back from death’s door, actually lived in the outskirts of the capital. Was this not heaven showing her a rare trace of mercy, allowing her future path to be less difficult?

Luo Sheng asked Pingli with a smile: “If that’s the case, why haven’t we invited Divine Physician Li to save my father?”

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

With her keen perceptiveness, Luo Sheng immediately realized there was something odd about this.

She had been too excited hearing that Divine Physician Li was still alive in this world and had overlooked such an obvious fact: if they could invite Divine Physician Li to treat Grand Marshal Luo, why would they wait until now?

While thinking this, Luo Sheng’s face remained expressionless: “Why isn’t Eldest Brother speaking?”

Pingli pressed his thin lips together slightly, not speaking for a moment.

Second Miss Luo Qing’s gentle voice sounded: “Third Sister, you were in Jinsha and didn’t know—this Divine Physician Li who came to the capital early this year is very difficult to approach. Each day he treats at most three people. And the Divine Physician has conditions for selecting patients—they need to present something that interests him. If they can’t produce it, no matter what their status, he won’t pay them any attention…”

Luo Sheng listened quietly, gaining some understanding of the relationship between Luo Qing and Pingli.

This Second Miss gave her the impression of being gentle and reserved, yet she spoke up to help when Pingli found himself in a difficult position. Clearly the two had a close relationship, or perhaps Luo Qing was unilaterally good to Pingli.

Of course, this had nothing to do with her. She simply didn’t have Miss Luo’s memories and needed to sort out some situations.

“What kind of thing would interest Divine Physician Li?”

Luo Qing smiled bitterly: “No one can fathom what Divine Physician Li is truly interested in. Divine Physician Li once accepted two red coral branches sent by Duke Ningguo’s estate and treated the old Duchess of Ningguo. He also once accepted a piglet sent by a pig butcher. Yet others who sent even more valuable items were turned away at the door. Divine Physician Li’s preferences are completely unpredictable.”

Luo Sheng frowned: “Our enormous Grand Marshal’s estate doesn’t have a single item that could interest Divine Physician Li? Or is it that my sworn brothers haven’t tried enough?”

“Third Sister, you’ve misunderstood. It’s not that the sworn brothers haven’t put their hearts into it, it’s… it’s that Divine Physician Li declared that no matter what our estate sends over, he won’t treat Father.”

Luo Sheng’s expression showed slight surprise: “Why is that?”

Luo Qing shook her head: “I don’t know.”

Not only did the Luo estate not know—currently all of the capital’s high and low were curious about when Grand Marshal Luo had offended the immortal-like Divine Physician Li.

Luo Sheng was silent for a moment, then looked at Pingli again: “My father is a First Rank Grand Marshal, holds the title of Grand Preceptor to the Crown Prince, and commands the Embroidered Guards. Is Divine Physician Li not afraid?”

Everyone couldn’t help but twitch their mouths.

Luo Sheng hadn’t changed at all—when encountering matters, her first thought was still to use power and authority to pressure people.

Pingli and the others were still silent, but Imperial Physician Wang seemed insulted and became agitated. He cupped his hands upward: “Divine Physician Li has a gold medallion bestowed by the late Emperor. Even His Majesty is courteous to him and has never forced him in the slightest. What would such an immortal figure have to fear?”

The old Imperial physician glared at Luo Sheng indignantly, as if looking at an utterly foolish stone.

Actually trying to use power and authority to threaten Divine Physician Li—this Miss Luo was indeed as shallow, ignorant, and laughable as the Luo estate’s standing!

Regarding the old Imperial physician’s extreme anger, Luo Sheng understood very well.

Twelve years ago, Divine Physician Li was already an immortal-like existence in the medical community, revered as the ancestral master by physicians throughout the realm. Now his reputation was even more illustrious.

“So in other words, as long as Divine Physician Li is unwilling, there’s absolutely no way?”

Pingli smiled bitterly: “That’s correct. Your several sworn brothers and I have all visited Divine Physician Li, but were turned away at the door.”

“Then I’ll go try.”

Luo Sheng stated this calmly. Hearing it, everyone’s faces immediately became a riot of colors.

“Third Sister—” Meeting the young woman’s pitch-black eyes, Pingli hastily corrected himself. “Third Miss, you should stay and keep our sworn father company. We’ll think of other solutions.”

Luo Sheng’s face turned serious: “Does Eldest Brother have other solutions in mind?”

Pingli’s lips moved, suddenly realizing this question was difficult to answer.

This sworn sister was too difficult to deal with. If he said there were other solutions, she might accuse him of not being devoted enough to their sworn father—an accusation he couldn’t bear.

Moreover, there simply were no other solutions.

“No other solutions, yet you’re stopping me—” The young woman drew her brows together, her lacquer-black eyes revealing sharpness. “Then Eldest Brother must be looking down on me, believing I can’t do it?”

Pingli looked helpless: “Third Miss, that’s not what I meant.”

Luo Qing couldn’t help but advise: “Third Sister, Eldest Brother means well—”

“Does Second Sister think it’s well-meaning for our sworn brother to stop me from saving Father?” Luo Sheng asked calmly in return.

That assassination attempt was probably the work of people within the Embroidered Guards. She wouldn’t be foolish enough to consider someone a good person just because they spoke amiably.

The five sworn brothers—Pingli and Yun Dong who were present, plus the three who weren’t—she didn’t trust a single one.

At this moment, Luo Qing’s actions appeared to Luo Sheng to be dragging her down.

“Third Sister, you’re twisting words!” Seeing Luo Qing rebuffed, Luo Yue couldn’t help but chime in.

Luo Sheng’s gaze swept sharply across the three sisters: “What about you all? Have you gone to invite Divine Physician Li?”

Luo Qing’s eyes were full of surprise: “With the sworn brothers taking action—”

Luo Sheng mercilessly interrupted Luo Qing’s words: “The sworn brothers are the sworn brothers, we are us. Don’t forget—we are Father’s biological daughters.”

These words were very sharp, making this arrogant Miss Luo appear as aggressive as ever since returning from Jinsha.

But Luo Sheng didn’t care what others thought.

She was grateful that Miss Luo lived so freely, allowing her to do certain things without being bound hand and foot.

If she became reasonable and considerate, that would be foolish.

“Tomorrow I will go invite Divine Physician Li to treat Father. Whether you all want to come along or not, think it through carefully today.” Having said this, Luo Sheng took steps toward the door.

She walked past the dumbstruck Luo sisters, walked past the dumbstruck two sworn brothers, walked past the dumbstruck Imperial Physician Wang, and when passing the equally dumbstruck Sheng Sanlang, she reached out and pulled him along.

Only then did she show a young woman’s softness: “Cousin, let’s go.”
