Chapter 239: Heavenly Imperial Medical Sect

In the early morning, sunlight filtered through the light morning mist, illuminating the South City Gate with a chilling solemnity. Lu Ling'er, already prepared, arrived at the South City Gate with Gu Yichen and the Feng siblings, awaiting Long Lin's arrival. Her expression was calm and resolute, as if she were ready for anything.

Feng Jingxuan stood aside, his face full of complicated expressions. He couldn't help but warn, "Ling'er, you must be careful. The Tianyu Medical Sect is unfathomable. We only know that it has profound medical skills and is home to many talented people. If there is any danger, don't act recklessly."

Feng Jingyan also patted Lu Ling'er's shoulder gently, his eyes filled with brotherly concern, "Ling'er, we Feng family never abandon each other. Don't worry, the Feng family will always be there to support you."

Feng Jingsu stepped forward and whispered, "Sixth sister, remember, third brother will be deploying outside the Medical Sect. If there is any disturbance, come to me immediately. I will not leave." He manages the fiefdom of the King of Zhennan and has secret lines all over the place, but he feels most at ease when he is on the ground in person.

"Thank you." Lu Linger smiled softly, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She knew the road ahead was uncertain, but her family's support gave her a sense of fearlessness.

At that moment, the sound of hurried horse hooves could be heard as Long Lin, accompanied by a team of dragon guards, rode in from outside the city. He stopped steadily in front of Lu Ling'er and bowed slightly, "Miss Lu, it's time to go."

Lu Linger nodded slightly and looked back at Gu Yichen, feeling reluctant to leave, yet also filled with reluctance. She hugged him gently and whispered, "Husband, you must take good care of yourself and your parents. I will be back as soon as possible."

Gu Yichen gently embraced her, his voice low but firm, "Ling'er, no matter where you go, I will wait for you." He paused, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, and added, "Remember, if you encounter any danger, don't force yourself. We will come to pick you up at any time."

Feng Xinying stepped forward and took Lu Linger's hand, her tone full of concern and reluctance, "Sixth sister, remember to take care of yourself. We will wait for your safe return outside the Medical Sect."

Lu Linger nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and looked at Long Lin with a firm gaze, "Let's go."

Long Lin said no more, jumped on his horse, and galloped away with Lu Ling'er towards the Imperial Medical Sect. Lu Ling'er sat in the carriage, her expression calm, but a sense of unease welled up in her heart. She knew that the Imperial Medical Sect was a key medical center within the imperial court, and that those who could control the lives of those there were often important figures with ties to the imperial court. She feared this trip would be dangerous.

Along the way, Long Lin seemed to notice something and occasionally slowed down. He suddenly turned around and asked, "Miss Lu, why did you agree to accompany me to the Tianyu Medical Sect? You don't seem to be the type to act on impulse."

Lu Linger's eyes turned cold, and she replied calmly, "Since you've already found me, if I refuse, it will only implicate more people. Your purpose is clear, and I'm just going along with it."

Long Lin was silent for a moment, seemed to understand her determination, and stopped asking questions.

As they walked toward dusk, the outlines of several towering buildings loomed faintly among the mountains ahead, like phantoms shrouded in mist. Long Lin pointed ahead and said, "In another half hour, we'll reach the Tianyu Medical Sect."

Lu Linger looked at the looming building, feeling a little nervous. She knew the challenges she was about to face, and her medical skills and composure would be the key to her escape.

The carriage slowly stopped, and she slowly stepped out. Several elders from the Medical Sect came out to greet her. The gray-robed elder in the lead had a deep, abyssal gaze and a calm demeanor. Long Lin bowed slightly and introduced her in a low voice, "This is Miss Lu Ling'er, whom we specially invited. She's a skilled healer and should be able to address the sect's urgent needs."

The old man in gray glanced at Lu Ling'er, seemed to know something about her, and nodded slightly, "Ms. Lu, welcome to the Tianyu Medical Sect. I hope your medical skills can help us." He looked cold, as if with some distrust, but did not show any hostility.

Lu Linger smiled calmly and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Since I have agreed to come, I will do my best."

The gray-robed old man approved of her attitude and led her into the inner courtyard of the Medical Sect, carefully explaining the treatment. Lu Linger gradually realized that the patient she was to treat was a nobleman with a serious illness, a complex and difficult condition, and she soon realized that this nobleman was probably closely related to Emperor Yuande.

Throughout this process, she remained cautious, yet quietly observed the movements and arrangements of the Tianyu Medical Sect. Just as she was settling in, preparing to begin acupuncture treatment later, Long Lin whispered behind her, "Miss Lu, it's inconvenient to move around without permission within the Medical Sect. You'll stay here for now and resume tomorrow morning."

Lu Linger smiled slightly and agreed calmly on the surface, but she was secretly thinking about how to deal with the subsequent changes.

As night fell, every corner of the Tianyu Medical Sect was shrouded in darkness. Faint sounds of birds could be heard in the distance, as if reminding her that this was not an ordinary clinic, but a cold and forbidding place harbouring dangers.

Lu Ling'er sat in her room, surveying her surroundings, pondering her own path forward. She had to approach this treatment with caution, while also finding a time to reunite with her family. Not only did she have to face the unpredictable forces of the Imperial Medical Sect, she also had to remain calm, carefully strategizing, and waiting for the right moment to strike back.
