Chapter 39: At a Loss

Hearing this, Lin Yu understood Wu Shuping's meaning and shook his head to refuse: "No, how is this different from coercion?"

After speaking, he left the bedroom. Wu Shuping shouted from behind: "Why are you so unreasonable?"

When Wu Shuping chased to the shop, she saw Li Lin standing there, talking to Lin Yu. Seeing Li Lin, Wu Shuping trembled with excitement, grabbed her hand and asked: "Dayu, you found Xiao Lin back, why didn't you tell me?"

Li Lin was grabbed by this sudden female Taoist nun and looked very confused: "Brother Lin, who is this..."

"Xiao Lin, I'm Third Aunt. What, don't you recognize me? I even held you when you were little. And you were especially spiritual, you could meditate at three years old. I always wanted to take you as an apprentice, but your father didn't agree..."

Wu Shuping excitedly held Li Lin's hand, looking her up and down carefully, her face full of joy.

Lin Yu interjected coldly: "Meditate at three years old? Third Aunt, could that have been sleeping?"

"You child, can you say less? I haven't seen Xiao Lin for ten years. Where have you been these ten years? Why didn't you contact the family? Third Aunt's hair has turned white from missing you," Wu Shuping scolded.

Li Lin looked at the crane-haired, youthful-faced female Taoist nun before her, feeling at a loss.

And Lin Yu responded lazily: "Don't listen to her, her hair has been white for a long time."

"If you talk nonsense again, see if I don't beat you!" Wu Shuping raised her hand in anger, but was nimbly dodged by Lin Yu.

Taking the opportunity, Li Lin pulled back her hand and said respectfully: "Grandma, you misunderstood, I am not Xiao Lin, my name is Li Lin. Brother Lin told me that I look very much like his sister, and he also recognized the wrong person at first."

Hearing this explanation, Wu Shuping suddenly reached out to touch Li Lin's face. "Ah!" Li Lin screamed in fright.

However, Wu Shuping quickly let go and said firmly: "She is Xiao Lin, I won't recognize the wrong person!"

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief because he knew Wu Shuping had just used the Bone-Touching Technique.

This ancient skill originated from massage, judging a person's experience and health status by touching the bones.

Although it sounds mysterious, the principle is quite direct: illness leaves traces on the bones.

"There are no two identical skulls in the world, and her skull is exactly the same as Xiao Lin's," Wu Shuping said confidently.

However, Li Lin insisted that she was not the person they were looking for: "You really made a mistake, I went to Europe when I was thirteen, my father's name is Li Yuanhua, and he is a surgeon."

Nevertheless, Wu Shuping still firmly believed she was Lin Xue. "I won't make a mistake either, you are Xiao Lin!"

Just as the two were deadlocked, Wu Yuanming's son, Wu Xiong, walked in. "Brother Yu, I heard you're back, I came to see..." Before he finished speaking, seeing Wu Shuping, he almost turned and ran.

Wu Shuping glared at him: "Xiong Zi, seeing Third Aunt, why don't you say a word before leaving?"

"Aunt, I suddenly remembered I have something to do, I'm leaving first!" Wu Xiong said hurriedly.

Wu Xiong was scared out of his wits. In the past, when Wu Shuping was fortune-telling by touching bones in Miao Street, the children there avoided her.

Whenever business was slow, she liked to grab those children to "study" them. Every time he recalled this experience, Wu Xiong felt his bones aching.

Watching Wu Xiong run away, Lin Yu smiled helplessly. Li Lin was very confused as to why both Lin Yu and this female Taoist nun thought she was Lin Yu's sister.

"You both say I am Lin Yu's sister, but how is this possible?" To clarify that she was not Lin Xue, Li Lin explained in detail, even taking out photos from her childhood as proof.

However, Lin Yu and Wu Shuping still firmly believed this was the long-lost Lin Xue.

However, they did not continue to argue about this issue. Lin Yu cleverly changed the subject: "Li Lin, haven't you always wanted to learn how to dispense traditional Chinese medicine? My Third Aunt is a master in this area, do you want to learn from her?"

Li Lin looked at Wu Shuping hesitantly and asked in a low voice: "Is it really okay?" Her worry stemmed from the experience of Wu Shuping touching her bones just now, the pain of which still lingered.

Hearing that Li Lin expressed a desire to learn, Wu Shuping was exceptionally happy. "If Xiao Lin is willing to learn, I am of course happy to teach. Shall we start now?"

Li Lin looked at the sky and declined the proposal on the grounds that it was late, leaving the scene quickly.

Lin Yu shook his head and sent her to the parking lot, apologizing for Third Aunt's behavior.

Li Lin drove her old Porsche Cayenne, smiling and saying goodbye to Lin Yu: "It's okay, I'll come again when I'm free, I'll call in advance next time!"

"Okay, be careful on the road!" Watching Li Lin drive away, Lin Yu returned to the Zhongcaotang and found that Wang Suya had woken up and was talking enthusiastically with Wu Shuping, expressing her admiration for the "Bone-Touching Saint Hand" her father often mentioned.

"Lin Yu, thank you so much," Wang Suya said gratefully.

Lin Yu was a bit at a loss; he didn't expect Third Aunt to really know Wang Suya's family.

Third Aunt Wu Shuping said to Wang Suya with a smile: "Girl, what do you think of my Lin Yu as your boyfriend?" This made Wang Suya a bit embarrassed, and she quickly waved her hand to refuse: "No need, I already have someone."

Wu Shuping looked a bit disappointed after hearing this: "That's a real pity, my Lin Yu is a rare good young man..."

Listening to Third Aunt's endless praise of Lin Yu, Wang Suya was silently complaining in her heart: If Lin Yu is really that excellent, why did Zhang Yuru divorce him?

"Don't listen to my Third Aunt's nonsense, I just became single, and I don't want to consider these things for the time being." After speaking, Lin Yu turned and walked toward the backyard, intending to clear out a room for Wang Suya to live in.

Although the Longevity Pill had already taken her out of life-threatening danger, Lin Yu was still worried about other unmanifested sequelae.

At this moment, a well-dressed man at the shop entrance suddenly shouted in surprise: "Suya, why are you here?"

Seeing the person, Wang Suya's face instantly darkened; she had just lied.

In fact, she had broken up a year ago, but Lin Yu and Wu Shuping didn't know, mistakenly thinking this handsome man was Wang Suya's current boyfriend.

Wu Shuping saw this and immediately scolded: "Are you this girl's boyfriend? She's sick like this, why don't you care?" The man was stunned for a moment, then showed a cold sneer.

"What does her illness have to do with me?" he said contemptuously.

Wang Suya turned her head away even more annoyedly, unwilling to look at him again, and responded angrily: "That's right, you, Zhou Hong, are a dog, how can a dog manage human affairs!"

Zhou Hong narrowed his eyes, restrained the smile on his face, and said coldly: "That's right, I am indeed like a dog, but at least this dog was also your boyfriend!"

Hearing this, Lin Yu and Wu Shuping roughly understood the cause and effect. Zhou Hong continued to mock: "I really want to know what kind of illness you have, are you dying? Running here to seek medical advice, and you're not afraid of being cheated." ===== CHAPTER 40 =====
