Chapter 22: A Fleeting Killing Intent
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes slightly focused. She was somewhat curious about Di Beichen’s suggestion and could not help but ask, “How would you help me attract patients?”
Even though she had already figured out the way to make her clinic known, she did not mind hearing Di Beichen’s idea.
Di Beichen’s smile widened. “That’s simple, isn’t the patient right in front of you?”
Baili Hongzhuang glanced around the clinic and her line of sight finally landed on Di Beichen. “You?”
Di Beichen nodded in all seriousness and smiled elegantly. “Of course, aren’t I a ready-made patient? If you can cure my leg disease, I can give you any kind of reward you desire.”
Heimu’s expression tightened. Could it be that little master honestly intended to have Baili Hongzhuang treat his leg problems?
It had to be known that his little master was not an ordinary person. Even the divine physician Feng was helpless with this problem, so how could Miss Baili make a diagnosis and provide treatment?
Looking at Di Beichen’s indifferent expression, Baili Hongzhuang immediately understood that the former did not believe in her skills. In other words, he did not believe that she had superb medical skills.
“Since there are no patients anyways, I will take a look at your legs.”
Her charming face radiated confidence and her features, which were originally exquisite and refined, appeared very bright and moving in that instant. Seemingly as fresh and bright as a camellia flower.
After she said that, Baili Hongzhuang did not waste any time and immediately pulled on Di Beichen’s hand to check his pulse.
However, the moment she came into contact with his hand, she noticed that it was very cold and different from the warmth she had expected.
A wisp of serene light flashed past his eyes and his gaze fell on Baili Hongzhuang’s face.
She continued to pull Di Beichen’s hand towards her and the teasing expression on her face had disappeared. She had a premonition that Di Beichen’s leg problem was not a usual disability. Instead, it was caused by some other reasons.
“Lord, this…”
Heimu had a nervous expression. The little master’s identity was not simple and his body was naturally untouchable by ordinary people.
If Baili Hongzhuang was a spy sent by the other party, then wasn’t his little master in danger?
Di Beichen slightly waved his hand and his handsome face still had a charming smile. “I would like to experience my wife’s medical skills.”
Baili Hongzhuang was keenly aware of that flash of killing intent in Heimu’s eyes. She had experienced plenty of battles and she was the most sensitive to killing intent.
Even though Heimu had concealed it quickly, she still managed to sense it.
As expected, Di Beichen was not a simple person!
As for the rumor of him being an illegitimate child, it may not be true. The number of secrets this man had might possibly be comparable to her!
Her white and smooth hands covered Di Beichen’s wrist. Based on his wide and rough palms, Baili Hongzhuang could determine that he had wielded a sword all year round. Otherwise, there would not be so many calluses.
From this, she could conclude that Di Beichen was not a weak man. Anyone who practiced diligently would not be weak, not to mention that Di Beichen was not an ordinary person.
While Baili Hongzhuang was analyzing Di Beichen, he was also sizing up Baili Hongzhuang.
As far as he knew, the eldest daughter of the General’s Estate had never been favored.
She had been spurned by everyone at the age of five upon finding out that she could not cultivate. Therefore, how could a woman living in a lady’s chamber know medical skills?
Could it be that Baili Hongzhuang had been concealing herself and practicing? Moreover, like him, she had been forced to be subjected to someone’s power and thus, had no choice but to endure?
It had been three years since he arrived in Fengbo Country and Baili Hongzhuang had never entered his field of observation. But now, he felt that Baili Hongzhuang was not simple. At the very least, there was an expert backing her.
