Chapter 280: Human lives are as cheap as grass!

At that moment, Lady Leng slowly woke up and finally saw clearly the person before her.

"Just now, was it you who saved me?"

Lin Xuewei smiled faintly and spoke ambiguously, "As long as you're alright."

Lady Leng's face full of gratitude, she asked, "May I ask, miss, what is your name?"

Lin Xuewei put on an indifferent attitude, "I am Lin Xuewei of the Xiliang Lin Family."

So she is Lin Xueyan's younger sister!

The Lin Family made their living through medicine; everyone in the clan, regardless of gender, knows medical arts. It seems the person who just saved her really is Lin Xuewei.

Lady Leng's eyes brimmed with emotion, "Thanks to you, I will repay you!"

A hint of triumph flickered in Lin Xuewei's eyes.

Lin Xuewei arranged for her to rest in a private room on the third floor, deliberately instructed the staff not to disturb her, and then she tidied up and went down to the first floor.

At that moment, the first floor was bustling extraordinarily; a crowd wasn't seeing patients but gathered around several young people, faces full of envy. Even the pharmacists stood up one after another.

"They are disciples of the Divine Medicine Sect! Truly dragons and phoenixes among people!"

"Who says otherwise? It's said the Divine Medicine Sect has a high threshold; anyone who gets in is nothing short of a genius!"

"These people are full of vigor; the future looks promising!"

……

The five or six young people surrounded in the middle, three men and three women, all bore extraordinary demeanor; the youngest was in their teens, the oldest no more than about thirty, their bodies flowing with the youthful recklessness of adolescence.

"Xuewei!"

Seeing Lin Xuewei come down from upstairs, the disciples of the Divine Medicine Sect shouted.

Everyone's gaze then fell upon the figure at the stairwell.

Wearing a light green gauze long dress that outlined her graceful figure, with long hair flowing down her back, she wore a jade hairpin; her appearance was beautiful and her bearing outstanding.

"It's Lin Xuewei!"

"It's been five years; Lin Xuewei seems to have become a different person, ever more radiant!"

"The Divine Medicine Sect truly is a place that nurtures outstanding talent!"

……

Hearing the praise, Lin Xuewei's face showed nothing, but inside she was extremely pleased. Although she wasn't as formidable as her sister, who had caught the eye of the Emperor Sovereign at the pinnacle of the beast race, she was not bad either, having become a disciple of the Divine Medicine Sect, the strongest medicinal sect in the Central Region.

Over these years, she has heard too much praise, yet she can never get enough!

In the crowd, Ye Qingran had just finished paying and hadn't left yet when she saw Lin Xuewei coming down from upstairs.

Lin Xuewei resembles Lin Xueyan by about sixty percent, but compared to Lin Xueyan, Lin Xuewei is less delicate.

"Everyone has also heard that I have studied at the Divine Medicine Sect these years, and now I have made some progress. To repay my hometown folks, today I and my fellow disciples will offer free medical consultations here, hoping everyone will support us."

Lin Xuewei wore a modest smile, graceful and proper; her voice was like an oriole emerging from the valley, and her words especially endeared her to listeners.

"Free medical consultations? In this world, there actually exists such a good thing?"

"Disciples of the Divine Medicine Sect giving us medical consultations! I never even dared to imagine such a thing!"

"Am I not dreaming?"

……

As expected, words of praise came from the crowd, and everyone's faces glowed with excitement.

The disciples of the Divine Medicine Sect, although many are still young, have medical skills that are not inferior to some old pharmacists. Especially the Divine Medicine Sect excels at difficult and miscellaneous ailments; for those in poor health, this is nothing short of a blessing.

It is said that in many places of the Central Region, being treated by the physicians of the Divine Medicine Sect is considered an honor!

"Miss Lin the Second, you are truly a living bodhisattva!"

Someone shouted aloud.

Lin Xuewei's face always bore a faint smile.

In her heart, however, she disdained to even glance.

Indeed, they are people who have never seen the world. She merely catered to their preferences, making them grateful to tears.

Although she felt contempt and disdain in her heart, Lin Xuewei showed no expression on her face, still maintaining her poise, "All right, then let's begin now!"

The crowd began to line up, waiting for the Divine Medicine Sect's disciples to give them medical consultations.

As Lin Xuewei just sat down, she lifted her eyes and met a face of peerless beauty.

"Who are they?"

A hint of jealousy flashed from the depths of her eyes.

"Xiliang City, when did such a peerless beauty appear?"

Her face slightly darkened as she asked the Lin Family servant behind her.

The servant followed Lin Xuewei's gaze, hesitated slightly, and replied, "She is the eldest miss of the Ye Family, Ye Qingran!"

"Ye Qingran?!"

"The good-for-nothing of the Ye Family?"

"No wonder it feels somewhat familiar!"

Lin Xuewei slightly furrowed her brows, a hint of surprise surfacing in her eyes. Regarding the incident back then, she had heard from her sister; she had thought Ye Qingran had already perished in the Drowning Soul Abyss, but unexpectedly she was still alive!

Lin Xuewei clicked her tongue lightly, "The vitality of a lowly person is truly tenacious!"

"However, my sister will be back soon; Ye Qingran this time won't be able to jump around for long!"

Saying this, she indifferently shifted her gaze, completely not putting Ye Qingran in her sight.

In her view, she and Ye Qingran are not people of the same world!

Leng Yue went to pay the bill; because there were especially many people today, requiring a queue, Ye Qingran also couldn't leave immediately.

However, she happened to take the opportunity to check just what level these disciples of the Divine Medicine Sect are at now.

……

……

……

Lin Xuewei watched the figures gathered before her sickbed; they wore plain clothes, even ragged, each looking like poor commoners, and her heart was full of disgust.

She is the lofty Second Miss of the Lin Family!

A proud disciple of the Divine Medicine Sect!

Her elder sister is the Empress of the Emperor Sovereign of Zhu Lu Summit! She is the Emperor Sovereign's younger sister-in-law of Zhu Lu Summit!

To actually treat these trash, it's a loss of worth!

If it weren't for the Divine Medicine Sect's free-clinic requirement, she would never lower her status to treat these poor, lowly folk.

Lin Xuewei forcibly suppressed her impatience and casually treated these patients.

Most are minor ailments that any ordinary doctor could cure; there's no need for her at all!

Why use an ox-butcher's knife to kill a chicken?

"Indeed, these are the faces of petty commoners, always greedy for any little gain! Truly disgusting! They're just cheap lives—die if they die!"

Lin Xuewei thought with disgust.

Distracted, she completely failed to notice her own misdiagnosis!

"Here's the prescription, go get the medicine!" Lin Xuewei handed the prescription to the patient, saying expressionlessly.

"Miss, we've paid; shall we go?"

Ye Qingran nodded, preparing to leave, when the patient Lin Xuewei had diagnosed passed by her side, and she unintentionally caught a glimpse of the prescription's contents.

In her eyes, a dark gleam flashed.

She had just observed these patients and could immediately see the cause of this patient's illness.

However, the prescription Lin Xuewei gave him was completely contrary to the patient's cause of illness; indeed, if the patient took the medicine according to her prescription, they would certainly die on the spot.

Ye Qingran considered herself not one to meddle in others' affairs. But as a healer, she absolutely could not ignore such behavior that treats human lives like grass.

"Wait!"

The patient was a middle-aged man dressed as a hunter. Hearing Ye Qingran's voice, he instinctively looked over, and upon seeing her, he froze in surprise.

It seemed he hadn't expected that the one calling out to him would be such a stunningly beautiful woman.

He did not recognize her as Ye Qingran.

After all, not everyone has seen her in person.

"This, this miss, you're calling me?" The man's face flushed crimson, showing bashfulness.

Upon suddenly seeing such a beautiful woman, any ordinary man would react this way.

"Could you let me look at your prescription?"

"Oh, sure, okay!" The man handed over the prescription, and Ye Qingran's expression sank after a glance.

You can't take this prescription!
