The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 604 - 601: White-Eyed Wolf

"Alas, he was fine before, how come after a trip to the mountains, he ended up like this. Doctor, is there really no way?"

The voice of the owner of Taoyao Pavilion followed.

"We have tried all the possible methods. Medicine and acupuncture are useless; you should prepare for his funeral."

An aged voice spoke.

It seemed that this was the imperial physician that the pimp mentioned earlier.

"Boss, don’t worry, my uncle knew everything, so do I. From now on, I will take care of Taoyao Pavilion."

Then, the voice of Master Ji was heard.

"Taoyao Pavilion cannot be left to him."

Xin Lin, understanding the situation, pushed the door and entered.

"Who are you?"

Just when Master Ji was about to seize the opportunity to persuade and secure the role of chef, an unexpected interruption occurred.

Upon seeing the newcomer, it was a young girl wearing a Qingtian Academy uniform, who looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he had seen her before.

"It’s you, Xin Lin, you’re no longer part of Taoyao Pavilion, why did you come here?"

The owner of Taoyao Pavilion had been doing business for many years and had a knack for recognizing people.

When Xin Lin was at Taoyao Pavilion initially, the owner felt that she was not just an ordinary girl.

Later, when Master Ji mentioned she was the top scorer at the Zixiao Palace Exam, the owner was so frightened that he hastily sent this ’high deity’ away.

Unexpectedly, she had come back.

"You are Xin Lin! You are an outsider, when is it your turn to discuss matters here?"

Seeing Xin Lin, Master Ji felt inexplicably guilty, his eyes dodging uncertainly.

Xin Lin keenly noted his reaction.

"I heard Master Ji was sick, so I came to see him. Although I am no longer part of Taoyao Pavilion, I was brought up by Master Ji, and I wanted to check on his illness."

Xin Lin swiftly moved and approached the bed.

Looking at Master Ji lying on the bed, with eyes tightly closed and completely pale.

It had only been half a month, but Master Ji had lost his robust appearance; looking at his belly, swollen like a stuffed ball.

Occasionally, saliva with a strange odor dripped from the corners of his mouth.

"Heh~ little girl, you speak so confidently. I have already examined him, Master Ji has contracted a strange disease, unheard and unseen before. Not only you, even I am at my wits’ end."

The gray-haired elder by the bed said. He had served at the Imperial Medical Hall in his early years, having seen countless difficult and complex diseases, yet he had never encountered such a condition.

Xin Lin stared at Master Ji, walked forward, and touched the saliva at the corner of his mouth.

The greenish saliva looked very disgusting.

"This is not a disease."

Upon inspection, Xin Lin was more convinced of her earlier suspicion and shook her head.

"Nonsense, if it’s not a disease, what is it? I am a former imperial physician, and what are you! A little girl who hardly knows a few big characters!"

The former imperial physician was immediately furious.

"Xin Lin, stop causing trouble here. I am also saddened by Master Ji’s condition, but now is not the time for baseless talk."

The owner of Taoyao Pavilion also showed a face of sorrow.

It seemed she could only prepare for Master Ji’s funeral then.

"I may be nothing, but he is. Father, tell us, does Master Ji have a disease or not?"

Xin Lin sharply called out towards the outside.

Then a figure walked in.

The man was tall and stately, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his face full of an imposing aura—it was Chu Beiqing.
