In an instant, Ni Yan's mind flashed through various possibilities—
Was this youth sent by an enemy?
Or was he just making up things, deliberately using words to insult him?
But how could he be so accurate!
Ni Yan lowered his voice, his gaze growing more intense and fierce. "Who exactly are you?"
Qin Lily stroked her chin with a mysterious air, like an immortal sage, though she had no beard.
"Heh…" Qin Lily was really getting into the act, her whole demeanor exuding an air of mystery. "Who am I? No, don't ask who I am, and don't ask where I come from. I come from where I come from and go to where I go."
The guards of the Ni family looked at Qin Lily as if they were seeing an unfathomable immortal!
Qin Xin grew anxious.
Previously, she was feigning grievance, but seeing Ni Yan's reaction, she quickly tugged at Ni Yan's sleeve, her eyes filled with tears. "Brother Yan, he mocked me just now and said… said I'm nothing…"
Clearly, she was now Qin Lily, the eldest daughter of the former Qin Divine Doctor, and should be beloved by everyone.
How could she be subjected to such humiliation?!
However, Ni Yan was now focused on Qin Lily.
He clenched his fists, struggling to speak, but stubbornly raised his head, his eyes fixed on Qin Lily.
"So," he took a deep breath, his voice lowered and restrained. "How did you see through my condition?"
Qin Lily twitched her mouth, thinking to herself, I wish I could pretend I didn't see it!
Damn it, in this world, apart from my brother Qin Huan, I've seen three patients, and two of them had male reproductive issues…
Let's not even talk about that masked person from before, who had a severe reaction to an aphrodisiac but still couldn't perform! That was a huge problem.
And Ni Yan here—tsk, it's even worse. He's completely impotent.
Ugh, I'm not a urologist! I really don't want to deal with people's problems about their… well, you know what!
Qin Lily kept up the act, stroking her chin with a profound expression. "There's no illness I can't see and no patient I can't treat."
Ni Yan's eyes brightened.
"You're a healer? Can you really cure any illness?"
Qin Xin grew more anxious. "Brother Yan, don't listen to him. He looks so young, and even if he is a healer, his skills are probably not very good. If you have any health issues, we should go to the medical clinic. My father… I mean, my uncle's medical skills are excellent, and he will definitely be able to cure you."
Qin Lily glanced at Qin Xin with a slight smile, her heart filled with cold mockery.
She hadn't planned to get involved with Ni Yan, but now… what could be more satisfying than finding joy in an enemy's suffering? Since Qin Xin was so ungrateful, she shouldn't blame her for being heartless!
In public, Ni Yan wouldn't reveal his condition. He淡淡地说, "Lily, I do have some health issues, but until your medical clinic finds the divine medicine, there's no way to treat them."
Hearing this, Qin Xin opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her expression showed a hint of fear.
Divine medicine?
There is no such thing as divine medicine!
This is just an excuse her father used to find Qin Lily and Qin Huan.
But she absolutely couldn't reveal that.
Ni Yan stared at Qin Lily with piercing eyes. "Can a healer really cure anything?"
Qin Lily smiled. "Yes."
Ni Yan said, "Good! Since you can tell my condition at a glance, I will trust you this once. But if you can't cure me…"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
It was clear that if she failed to cure him, the person who discovered his secret would be put to death.
Ni Yan's illness was very special, and it certainly couldn't be treated immediately. Qin Lily remained mysterious, saying that she would come to visit in a few days.
Ni Yan was suspicious and thought that this might just be a pretext, but under the watchful eyes of the public, he couldn't force the issue, so he could only let Qin Lily leave.
Seeing Qin Lily leave unscathed and even being treated so politely by Ni Yan, Qin Xin's heart burned with anger.
Ni Yan was also shrewd and worried that Qin Lily might be using this as an excuse to escape. After she left, he sent someone to secretly follow her.
Qin Lily naturally noticed this.
She sneered and leisurely strolled around Tang City, then specifically spent a large sum of money to buy a big shop opposite the Qin Medical Clinic, indicating that she would be opening her own clinic there soon.
Ni Yan was reassured but continued to stand guard day and night in front of the shop that Qin Lily had bought.
After buying the shop, Qin Lily noticed that it was getting late and thus joined the queue to leave the city, heading towards the Qingshan Temple on the mountain.
As she walked, she carefully observed everything around her.
"Strange, why do I always feel like someone is watching me?"
Qin Lily frowned, feeling that she had been under surveillance since she had come down the mountain, though it was not by anyone sent by Ni Yan.
But every time she tried to track them back, the feeling of being watched would disappear.
"Could it really be my imagination?"
Qin Lily blinked, deciding not to dwell on it and continued her journey up the mountain with the gem.
Soon after she left, two figures appeared at the spot where she had just been.
The man wearing a silver mask had deep, cold eyes with a hint of curiosity, as if pondering what kind of power Qin Lily possessed.
"Master, this woman is very perceptive. Several times she nearly discovered us," said Sixteen, feeling secretly alarmed.
Jun Mo, with his hands behind his back, said淡淡地:"Return to the cave."
"Yes."
The cave was located in the depths of the pond. Once inside the cave, all external sounds were blocked, and the water beneath the pond had peculiar properties that made isolation from the outside world complete.
Therefore, every time the master went into the pond, Sixteen would prepare clean clothes on the shore.
Who would have expected that Qin Lily would be such an unexpected variable…
