"Dr. Qin, you should be aware of this, right?" The girl from before looked at Qin Yan, her scorn growing more intense.

Qin Yan was annoyed but maintained her smile. "This is Qin Luoli's choice; it has nothing to do with us." With these words, she essentially pushed all the responsibility onto Qin Luoli.

"It's truly a pity. If Qin Luoli had chosen Young Master Luo, it would have become the talk of River City," the girl said.

"If you don't know what to say, then shut up." Luo Jinping shot the girl a cold glance. This damn woman is really pushing her luck.

The girl's expression changed, and she exclaimed, "Young Master Luo, I didn't say anything wrong." She wanted to say more, but someone from the side gently tugged her. The girl seemed to realize something, quickly lowering her head in embarrassment.

Just as the atmosphere was growing awkward, a waiter hurried over and said to Luo Jinping, "Young Master, Master Sun has arrived."

"He's here? I'll go greet him!" Luo Jinping's face lit up with joy as he hurried away.

"Let's go take a look too!" Everyone quickly followed, and after a moment's thought, Qin Yan tagged along as well.

The other guests, seeing the actions of Luo Jinping and his group, all stopped to watch with curiosity.

Soon, an elderly man walked over, surrounded by a crowd. The elder's face was ruddy and his presence imposing. He walked with such a vigorous stride that it left a profoundly shocking impression. What was even more astonishing were his incredibly bright eyes. They occasionally flashed with a keen light, compelling anyone who met his gaze to instinctively look down.

Everyone he encountered involuntarily cleared a path, their expressions filled with excitement. Qin Yan was no different.

"Who is that elderly man? He looks so extraordinary!"

"Could it be Master Sun?"

Indeed, the elder was none other than Divine Doctor Sun Tianyang.

"Master Sun, you've finally arrived!" Luo Jinping hurried forward to greet him, bowing respectfully and not daring to show the slightest neglect.

Hearing Luo Jinping's form of address, the crowd gasped again and began to bow toward Sun Tianyang as well. This was a Divine Doctor renowned throughout the nation, whose medical skills were nothing short of miraculous. Any practitioner who received his guidance was certain to rocket to success. Any patient he treated was certain to be cured.

"Greetings, everyone. My apologies for being late. I hope you can all forgive me," Sun Tianyang said with a cupped-fist salute and a broad smile, clearly in an excellent mood.

The toxins from the Five Poisons Palm had been completely cleared from his body. Furthermore, he had spent the last few days contemplating the prescriptions left by Young Master Mu, and his understanding of the Way of Medicine had deepened even further.

"Jinping," Sun Tianyang greeted him before his eyes began to search the crowd. "I heard that people from the Qin Family are also here. Where are they?"

Everyone was taken aback. Master Sun just arrived and he's already looking for the Qin Family? What's going on? Everyone was a bit puzzled.

"Qin Yan is from the Qin Family. I wonder why Master Sun is looking for her?" a young man said nervously.

"Oh?" Sun Tianyang's eyes lit up as he looked toward Qin Yan. This woman had a remarkable temperament and carried the faint scent of medicine, a clear sign of someone who handled various herbs regularly. Sun Tianyang grew even more certain of his guess.

Then, something that shocked the crowd occurred.

Sun Tianyang was seen facing Qin Yan, bringing his hands together in a salute. "Since you are from the Qin Family, young lady, may I ask your relationship with Young Master Mu?"

Young Master Mu? Who's that? Everyone was confused, and Qin Yan was even more so. Then, an unbelievable thought flashed through her mind.

Could it be... No, that's impossible. Absolutely impossible!

"Master Sun, may I ask who this Young Master Mu you're referring to is?" one of River City's business tycoons asked. It was noteworthy that Master Sun addressed Luo Jinping directly by name, yet he showed such respect for this "Young Master Mu." He had also asked for the Qin Family immediately upon arrival. Does the Qin Family have someone named Qin Mu?

"In reply to Master Sun, I... I don't know this person," Qin Yan stammered. She still thought her guess was too crazy, so she pushed it out of her mind. Right now, she just hoped to exchange a few more words with Master Sun. If she could receive a bit of guidance on her medical skills, it would truly be a blessing from heaven.

"Is that so? What a pity," Sun Tianyang sighed. He had only come to the gathering because he'd heard that someone from the Qin Family would be attending and that Young Master Mu had connections with them. Unexpectedly, it seemed to have been a wasted trip.

"Young Master, there's big trouble!" Just then, a hotel manager hurried over, his face etched with anxiety.

"What's wrong?" Luo Jinping asked, his expression displeased. Do these fools not see that I'm speaking with Master Sun?

"President Luo has been injured, and Patriarch Chen was angered to the point of vomiting blood," the manager reported frantically.

"Which President Luo? And why was Patriarch Chen angered to the point of vomiting blood?" Luo Jinping roared. Is this damn fool cursing me?

"President Luo Zhen."

Luo Jinping's expression changed. Luo Zhen was from a collateral branch of the Luo Family whom he had sent to cause trouble for Lin Mu. How did he get injured?

The manager explained, "Patriarch Chen and Lin Mu got into a conflict. President Luo said a few words and was hit by that Lin Mu. Even Chen Ruoping was angered to the point of vomiting blood."

"What?" Luo Jinping roared in fury. "Useless!"

"Young Master, what should we do now?" the manager asked.

"Are you an idiot?" Luo Jinping yelled. "If they're injured, send them to the hospital immediately! Why are you asking me? If you can't even handle a simple matter like this, what good are you to me?"

Luo Jinping felt as if his lungs would explode. Not only had he failed to humiliate Lin Mu, but Luo Zhen was now injured and Chen Ruoping had vomited blood from rage. If this wasn't handled properly, it could have significant negative consequences for the Luo Family.

"Also, capture Lin Mu and make him apologize to Patriarch Chen!" Luo Jinping commanded coldly. The Chen Family was no weaker than the Luo Family. Since Chen Ruoping, the Chen Family Patriarch, had been angered by someone to the point of vomiting blood on his territory, Luo Jinping had to take responsibility.

"Qin Yan, if anything happens to Patriarch Chen, your Qin Family won't escape responsibility either!" Luo Jinping said, glaring menacingly at her.

Qin Yan froze. This incident was entirely Lin Mu's fault. What did it have to do with the Qin Family? What did it have to do with her?

"What are you waiting for? Get going!" Seeing the manager still frozen in place, Luo Jinping couldn't resist kicking him in the thigh.

"Yes!" The manager endured the kick and turned to leave.

"Wait, I'll come with you!" However, Sun Tianyang called out, stopping him. He looked rather agitated.

"Master Sun, there's no need to worry," Luo Jinping said with a smile, assuming Sun Tianyang wanted to check on the patient. "This is a minor issue my subordinates can handle. I'll make sure Patriarch Chen is taken to the hospital, so there's no need for you to get involved. It's almost time for the event anyway, so let's discuss other things."

Sun Tianyang glanced at him coolly. "I'm just going to have a look. It won't take long."

"This... alright then." Left with no alternative, Luo Jinping had to agree.

Presently, the group arrived at the hotel entrance. After a few questions, Sun Tianyang confirmed that the Lin Mu the manager had mentioned was, in fact, Young Master Mu.

"Where is he?" When Sun Tianyang didn't see the familiar figure, his tone grew urgent.

"He's already been taken to the hospital," the manager said, assuming he was asking about Chen Ruoping.

"What? Young Master Mu is injured?" Sun Tianyang exclaimed in shock.

"Young Master Mu? Which Young Master Mu?" The manager was completely bewildered.

Sun Tianyang shouted, "Lin Mu!"

At this declaration, the entire crowd was stunned.

The Young Master Mu that Master Sun had been referring to was Lin Mu
