A sound of footsteps rang out, and then an elderly man emerged from behind the screen.

Luo Sheng’s eyelashes trembled.

Compared to over ten years ago, Divine Physician Li had changed almost not at all. He still had a head of pure silver hair without a trace of any other color, and a pair of eyes more spirited than those of a young person.

Time seemed to have forgotten to visit this old man, and such unchanging constancy brought Luo Sheng an indescribable sense of familiarity.

But for Divine Physician Li, it was different. He stared darkly at this young girl he had never seen before, his tone severe. “Where is the Nurturing Origin Pill?”

Luo Sheng handed over a small box.

Divine Physician Li opened the box. Upon seeing the medicinal pill inside, his eyes contracted. He then brought it to his nose and sniffed.

After that, Divine Physician Li’s expression became even uglier.

“Where did this pill come from?”

Luo Sheng blinked, her bright eyes revealing astonishment. “You’re not the divine physician!”

“What do you mean?” Divine Physician Li demanded darkly.

Luo Sheng seemed oblivious to the fact that he was on the verge of fury and continued on her own. “The Nurturing Origin Pill was given to me by the divine physician, but you’re not the divine physician…”

Divine Physician Li caught on.

This young girl’s meaning was that someone had impersonated him.

Divine Physician Li was not the type to cultivate his character and temperament. On the contrary, the old man had an explosive temper. He immediately slammed the small box containing the Nurturing Origin Pill heavily on the desk and roared, “Make yourself clear! Which bastard gave you the Nurturing Origin Pill!”

Those remaining in the courtyard to watch the spectacle faintly heard the roar and couldn’t help exchanging glances.

Was the divine physician losing his temper?

Indeed, the rumors were true. Grand Commandant Luo had offended Divine Physician Li, which was why Divine Physician Li had made such statements.

The Luo Ying sisters waiting in the courtyard changed color slightly.

Luo Yue bit her lip and said uneasily, “Elder Sister, Second Sister, is the divine physician losing his temper at Third Sister?”

Luo Qing’s brows were tightly furrowed. “It seems so.”

Luo Ying sighed. “This can’t be blamed on Third Sister. Not being able to obtain the divine physician was expected from the start. Fourth Sister, especially you—when Third Sister comes out later, don’t complain.”

“I know. But aren’t you worried? What if Third Sister beats up the divine physician?”

Luo Ying and Luo Qing immediately fell into disarray.

Why did Fourth Sister have to remind them of that!

Compared to the three sisters whose hearts had leapt to their throats, Luo Sheng, who was directly facing the divine physician’s fury, was much calmer.

“So you’re saying the one who gave me the Nurturing Origin Pill was a fake divine physician?”

If not for the fact that the person before him appeared to be a delicate and frail young girl, Divine Physician Li would have thrown a punch. He bristled and said, “Of course it was fake!”

“Oh.” Luo Sheng responded with a single sound, indicating she understood.

Divine Physician Li stroked his chest.

This young girl was going to anger him to death. What did that “oh” mean? Learning that someone had impersonated him, and she wasn’t even surprised?

Luo Sheng pointed at the Nurturing Origin Pill. “Is this medicine also fake?”

Divine Physician Li immediately fell silent.

The person was fake, but the medicine was real!

And this was precisely the reason for his loss of composure.

The Nurturing Origin Pill was a medicinal pill he had specially developed for the Princess Consort of Zhennan. It had never been circulated outside. Why would someone be able to formulate it?

“The medicine is not fake.” Divine Physician Li truthfully replied, suppressing his irritation.

As a physician, in this matter he could not and would not deign to lie.

Luo Sheng revealed a smile. “That’s good then.”

Divine Physician Li’s gaze burned as he stared at Luo Sheng. “Young lady, can you now tell me where you obtained the Nurturing Origin Pill?”

Luo Sheng pressed her lips together and didn’t answer this question. Instead, she asked, “So are you interested in this item I brought?”

Divine Physician Li was someone who sometimes was rather unreasonable, yet at other times had a certain pride. Luo Sheng was confident that on this question, he wouldn’t give an insincere answer.

This was also her confidence in coming to seek treatment as Miss Luo.

Divine Physician Li was silent for a full half cup of tea’s time before nodding slightly. “This old man is indeed interested.”

What interested him was who had formulated the Nurturing Origin Pill, though this could be considered the same matter.

Luo Sheng’s lips curved.

Divine Physician Li truly hadn’t changed. If he was interested, he was interested. He wouldn’t deliberately deny it just because she was Grand Commandant Luo’s daughter.

“Then… can you examine my father?”

Divine Physician Li held his breath as he looked at the young woman who asked this question.

The young girl was at most fifteen or sixteen years old, with a composure rare for this age showing between her brows and eyes.

This inexplicably reminded him of another young girl.

Divine Physician Li sighed inwardly and nodded reluctantly.

He was a divine physician with principles, after all.

“Now you can tell this old man how you came by the Nurturing Origin Pill, can’t you?”

“Of course.” Luo Sheng nodded readily. “Some days ago, I was in the south and felt unwell, so I consulted a physician. This Nurturing Origin Pill was what that physician gave me, saying it could regulate my constitution…”

“What was that physician’s surname and name?”

“The locals all called him Divine Physician Li. I don’t know his name.”

Divine Physician Li’s face became dark as water. “Where did young lady encounter this Divine Physician Li?”

“Nanyang City.” Luo Sheng enunciated each word.

Divine Physician Li’s expression changed abruptly as he blurted out, “Nonsense!”

Luo Sheng blinked, revealing a trace of grievance. “Why does the divine physician say this?”

Thinking of someone daring to act under his name, Divine Physician Li was practically exploding with rage. He said furiously, “This old man is right here in the capital. Where in this world could there be another Divine Physician Li?”

“Then—the Divine Physician Li I encountered was an imposter?”

“Of course it was an imposter!” Divine Physician Li said indignantly, his doubts deepening in his heart.

There was a physician in Nanyang City capable of formulating the Nurturing Origin Pill, acting under his name—what exactly was going on?

Luo Sheng revealed a fortunate expression. “Fortunately I met you today, otherwise I would have continued believing that you were that Divine Physician Li I encountered in Nanyang City.”

Unlike Divine Physician Li who disdained lying, she was different.

She had thick skin.

Divine Physician Li looked at Luo Sheng, not knowing what to say.

He was annoyed with people from the Grand Commandant’s manor in his heart. How was it that listening to this young girl, he should feel fortunate for having met her today?

He had a general feeling that this young girl was getting a bargain and acting obedient, yet he couldn’t find evidence.

Divine Physician Li pondered seriously.

Luo Sheng smiled slightly. “There are no more medical seekers after me. Since the divine physician is interested in what I brought, and my father’s condition cannot be delayed, could I ask you to come with me to the Luo manor right now?”

Divine Physician Li nodded with a stern face.

These were rules he had set. He had to accept them even if it meant holding his nose.

Luo Sheng performed a bow to Divine Physician Li. “Then many thanks.”

Divine Physician Li observed the young woman who couldn’t completely hide her joy and suddenly asked, “Are you so certain this old man can cure your father?”

Luo Sheng straightened up and said calmly, “I cannot be certain you will definitely cure my father, but I can be certain that if there is only one person in this world who can cure my father, that person must be you.”

Divine Physician Li’s face, which had darkened, eased slightly upon hearing the latter half of Luo Sheng’s words. He stroked his beard and snorted coldly. “Ignorant child, of course this old man can cure your father!”

Luo Sheng’s lips twitched, momentarily at a loss for words.

How old was this old man, yet he was still so competitive?

“What are you standing there for?” Divine Physician Li picked up his medicine box and walked toward the door.
