The wind made the shadows under the trees sway a few times, yet the person stood still as if nailed to the ground, unmoving.
Lu Tong took a step back and nodded, "Lord Pei."
Pei Yunmeng smiled as he glanced at Ji Xun before saying, "Deputy Envoy Xiao suddenly developed a headache this evening. Would Doctor Lu come with me to have a look?"
No matter whether his reason was true or false, it was better than continuing the standoff with Ji Xun here. Ji Xun's queries were too clear without any concealment, and her already worthless pride would be shattered by the blade of righteousness.
Lu Tong nodded, "Alright. I'll go get my medical box." With that, she turned to leave with Pei Yunmeng.
"Wait."
The voice of Ji Xun came from behind.
Lu Tong's footsteps paused.
That person's voice was still cold and indifferent, impartial as always, without a trace of emotion.
"Doctor Lu's medical skills are lacking; Marshal Pei might consider changing to another medical officer."
