Thief what... This Mu Tian Nan is really brain-dead, that rare seed wasn't even stolen by her, yet he can't stop spouting that thief word!

  Lin Luoran's face turned cold, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became very depressing.

  Wen Guanjing settled his own affairs and didn't want to stay any longer, not knowing which side to stand on. He hastily bid farewell: "Miss Lin, we'll be in touch again."

  Qin Shouling was even more cunning with age, and Mu Tian Nan wasn't a monk either. He didn't worry about Lin Luo Ran's safety anymore. What's the point of getting involved in young people's affairs? Even if this Mu kid wanted to provoke Lin Ya Tou, he would be like a moth to flame. He wasn't even comparable to the young master of the Liu family, at least they had grown up together since childhood and had some emotional connection. What did it have to do with old Qin?!

  "When people get old, they need to exercise more. You guys chat, the old man is going out for a workout!" He said as he went downstairs and also instructed the several soldiers guarding the door that if no one was killed inside, they were not allowed to interfere. A soldier's duty is to obey orders, and naturally, they wouldn't question the commander's orders. Qin Commander easily dragged Lu Sanshun away for "exercise".

  No need to mention how Lusanchun, who is loyal and honest, was "tempered" under the command of Qin Shuai, who is still vigorous in his old age. As for Zhuo Dashao, this time he didn't need anyone to remind him that he had made another mistake...

  "Cough, I say, we've known each other for so long......" Murong Tiannan was quite skilled at coaxing women, but he had never coaxed a female cultivator like Lin Luoran who was immune to both soft and hard tactics and had a higher martial arts level than him. He couldn't even use nonsense to control her.

  Lin Luoran was amused by that bitter melon face, and his own face couldn't help but twitch, thinking about how he had never spoken softly before, being a young master with a proud temperament, it was laughable to see him like this.

  "Alright, you've got something on your mind, spit it out. In Rui Li, you helped me get out of a tight spot, so if there's anything I can do for you, consider it a personal favor repaid."

  Mo Tian Nan let out a long sigh, feeling that at this moment, Lin Luo Ran was so considerate and lovely. If she had been like this from the start, how would they have become awkward with each other...

  "In that case, I'll get straight to the point. I want to ask for your help in saving someone." With that, Mu Tian Nan's expression turned serious, and he put away his usual carefree attitude.

  Lin Luoran became cautious all of a sudden. She wasn't some kind of barefoot doctor, and she didn't have any medical skills at all. The only reason she had managed to save Baojia last time was because she had been forced into it, and even then, she had needed the help of that mysterious pearl... If not for that, Lin Luoran suspected that she would have ended up accompanying Baojia to the Bridge of Helplessness... Now, at the mention of saving someone, her instincts were on high alert.

  But she had spoken too much earlier, and now could only laugh awkwardly: "Is Master Mo joking? I'm just a minor cultivator, with no medical skills whatsoever. How can I possibly help you save someone? You also know Wen Guanjing; if the methods of ordinary cultivators were effective, why would you go to such great lengths to come to me?"

  Mo Tian Nan's expression changed to a sly smile: "Lin Ya Tou, an honest man doesn't do things in secret, pretending to be muddled when you're actually clear-headed isn't good... Commander Qin's granddaughter, your good friend Qin Bao Jia, was it her that you saved? If the people at Guimen Pass can all be brought back, how can you say you don't have medical skills?"

  Lin Luoran's attitude had just softened, but upon hearing his words, she couldn't help but say word by word: "You're investigating me?"

  "Hey, don't get me wrong... it's just that the day you saved someone at the hospital, the reaction of the heavenly energy was too great. Coincidentally, one of my relatives happened to pass by the Military Medical Academy and found out that someone was performing a rescue technique... It wasn't intentional investigation on you, but rather because of Qin Baojia's case. The entire imperial capital doesn't know how many eyes are watching, from critical condition to discharge in just a few days. Except for you being there at the time, I really can't think of anyone else who could have saved her!"

  As expected, is it too eye-catching?

  Although Lin Luoran did not regret the grand gathering of spiritual energy caused by saving Baojia at that time, even if she knew that so many people would notice it with the passage of time, she would still make the same choice - Baojia's life was not something that could be compared or equated to external troubles.

  But this thing can't be acknowledged!

  If today, Mu Tian Nan acknowledges and truly lends a hand to save the person he wants to save, then the entire imperial capital's privileged class will probably know - who doesn't have a headache, Lin Luo Ran has made up his mind to cultivate, and does not want to become a family doctor serving the privileged class of Huaxia in the future.

  Having thought through these joints, Lin Luo Ran frowned and said: "Mu Da Shao, you should also know that I'm just a cultivator with mediocre skills. If he can't do it, how can I? To be honest with you, maybe the one who saved people that day wasn't me... Now going to ask him is hopeless."

  As expected... her cultivation is similar to what Old Master said, transforming the heavenly energy of that scene into a spell to save people, it's indeed somewhat like Arabian Nights.

  Lin Luoran finished speaking, and the result was already within Mu Tianyan's "expectations", with a few points of delight. Lin Luoran told him the truth, that the one who saved people that day wasn't her - was it her mysterious master in the Dan stage who had long been renowned in the cultivation world?

  "We know that asking the seniors to take action is a reckless proposal, our Mu family will definitely find an equivalent exchange, and when the time comes, we'll have to ask you to put aside past grievances and act as a bridge. This is the real truth hidden beneath the surface of the Mu family, and Mu Tian Nan sees Lin Luo Ran's attitude as good enough to reveal their true bottom line."

  Lin Luoran made a very reluctant expression and nodded, but in fact she was delighted in her heart. She was the senior they were talking about, after all. What constituted an equivalent exchange was still up to Lin Luoran herself to decide——this had made a big buffer for whether or not she would save people in the future.

  Although he had pushed the responsibility away, Lin Luoran still felt a bit downhearted. For his own safety, was it really right to abandon someone in need? The person that Mu Tian Nan wanted to save must be very important to him. Could that person really wait until he had the ability to protect himself before being rescued?

  Mù Tiān said they were going to find something of equivalent value that would prompt the "senior" to lend a hand, but Lin Luó Rán was skeptical - even if the Mù family's power was sufficient, could the person waiting to be rescued really wait until they found the "treasure"?

  It seemed like Mo Tian Nan had seen Lin Luo Ran's confusion, so he proactively added: "However, today I really do have a request for you. Cui Pang Zi once sold me a piece of somewhat special jade, you know that, right?"

  Lin Luoran felt a little guilty, for she knew that the jade piece was originally created by her own hands!

  Mù Tiān Nán didn't see her embarrassment, and directly said: "Senior's mobilization of the pure and peaceful heavenly spiritual energy to save people, I believe there must be a way to improve some things that are clearly filled with spiritual energy but are restless and can't be used... Relying on Senior's high regard for you, if you go to seek two pieces of spirit objects similar in quality to those sold by Cuī Huán Zǐ, it shouldn't be impossible. That's why I said today I came specifically to ask you to save people, that's what I meant."

  Feicui Lin suddenly asked, "That piece of jade, for the person who needs to be rescued... is it very useful?"

  Moyenne nodded: "Can temporarily relieve his injuries."

  "What else can I say? Lin Luo nodded: "Since that's the case, I'll accept this thing!"

  Mu Tian Nan was overjoyed, and Lin Luo Ran suddenly remembered something: "I have to tell you something, I did get the seed, but now it's impossible for me to return it. If I find the jade, we'll settle this with a trade."

  Lin Luoran refused to admit it, and Mu Tian Nan couldn't do anything about it. However, this was indeed what she had done. Perhaps the reason Mu Tian Nan was so tense was that he wanted to save someone. Lin Luoran didn't want any flaws in her moral integrity, so it's better to clarify things.

  Smoothly resolving the "Lingqi Feicui" matter, Mu Da Shao's mood was excellent. Rarely speaking reasonably for once, he generously waved his hand: "I also have fault in that matter, considering you're willing to help me, even if I couldn't find the Feicui, I won't trouble you about it again!"

  Lin Luo Ran couldn't help but exclaim: "Knowing you all this time, for the first time I think you still look like a man!"

  You this woman——Mu Tian Nan suddenly had that constipated look again.
