Fang Lin was serious, “Why not?”

Startled by Fang Lin’s answer, Han Yinyue said, “After all, she’s from the Dugu

Family, you don’t have to concern yourself.”

Fang Lin shook his head, laughed, and said, “It doesn’t matter to me which faction she belongs to. If she wants to learn, I can teach her.”

Han Yinyue was confused. The ancient Pill Refining method of Shaking Three Mountains, which was so rare, was being offered by Fang Lin to a little girl he’d only known for two days. What was this about?

At this thought, Han Yinyue looked at Fang Lin somewhat suspiciously, and suddenly asked, “Fang Lin, have you taken a liking to Dugu Nian?”

Fang Lin almost laughed at the question. Would he be attracted to Dugu Nian? What a joke.

“Miss Han, I have zero interest in Dugu Nian. Please don’t make unwarranted guesses. It’s just that, as the only one who knows Shaking Three Mountains, it would be better if more Pill Refiners learned it. This would propagate this ancient Pill Refining method,” Fang Lin said, helpless between laughter and tears.

Upon hearing these words, Han Yinyue finally understood Fang Lin’s intention.

At that moment, she respected him immensely.

“You truly are different. If it were anyone else with a unique skill like Shaking Three Mountains, they would definitely not want to share it.” Han Yinyue looked at Fang Lin and said with a sense of admiration.

Fang Lin shook his head. He was different from those selfish Pill Refiners. Indeed, Shaking Three Mountains was a unique skill, but on his current level, he wished to see this skill shine in the hands of more Pill Refiners, realizing its potential value, rather than it being mastered only by himself.

“By the way, since you’re willing to teach Dugu Nian Shaking Three Mountains, why didn’t you teach it to the others in the Pill Sect?” Han Yinyue asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin made a face, saying, “Miss Han, you are quite unaware. Previously, someone from the Pill Pavilion came to me, forcing me to hand over Shaking Three Mountains to them. Ha, I have a bad temper. Trying to force me like this, I definitely won’t give it to them.”

Han Yinyue didn’t know about the Pill Pavilion pressuring Fang Lin for Shaking Three Mountains. After hearing about it now, she nodded thoughtfully.

“And besides, I haven’t decided yet if I will actually teach that unkind girl. Let’s see if she remains persistent after a while,” Fang Lin said with a smile.

During Fang Lin’s conversation with Han Yinyue, Han Xiaoxing sat quietly to the side, saying nothing, appearing almost non-existent.

She didn’t have any reaction to her sister’s conversation with Fang Lin, and was incredibly detached from everything.

“Fang Lin, please be careful with Dugu Nian. Do not let her run into any problems. The Dugu Family may send someone to confront the Pill Sect. If anything happens to Dugu Nian, it will create significant trouble,” Han Yinyue warned Fang Lin with a serious tone.

Fang Lin nodded, fully aware. Though he had previously treated Dugu Nian badly, he made sure not to hurt her.

Of course, except for almost poisoning her to death on the Pill Array.

“Xiaoxing, will you let Fang Lin take a look at your eyes?” At this moment, Han Yinyue asked her sister, Han Xiaoxing.

Han Xiaoxing remained silent and shook her head slightly.

Fang Lin also remained silent, not caring. If you don’t want me to look, I’m certainly not eager to see.

After much persuasion from Han Yinyue, Han Xiaoxing finally agreed to let Fang Lin examine her eyes.

However, Fang Lin dared not get too close to Han Xiaoxing because he had experienced firsthand how formidable Miss Han Xiaoxing could be. If he unintentionally provoked her, he was in no position to counter her. Fang Lin studied Han Xiaoxing’s eyes carefully from a slight distance.

After a short while, he frowned.

“What’s wrong?” Han Yinyue asked with concern.

Fang Lin pondered for a moment and explained, “I can’t determine anything just by looking. I need to feel the acupoints behind Miss Xiaoxing’s ears.” Before Han Yinyue could respond, Han Xiaoxing adamantly declined: “No.” Fang Lin looked embarrassed, shrugging helplessly at Han Yinyue.

Han Yinyue offered an apologetic glance towards Fang Lin and resumed coaxing Han Xiaoxing.

Han Xiaoxing, who usually honored her sister’s requests, eventually agreed to let Fang Lin touch her, though she was very resistant to the idea.

Fang Lin grumbled internally, ‘Do you think I’m eager to touch you? If it weren’t for your sister begging me, I wouldn’t bother.’

Though he thought this way, Fang Lin did not hesitate and reached out to touch behind Han Xiaoxing’s ears.

The moment he touched Han Xiaoxing’s skin, Fang Lin’s first thought was, ‘It’s so soft,’ leaving him momentarily stunned.

But soon, he composed himself. It wasn’t like he hadn’t touched a woman before.

The area behind the ears contains significant acupoints and meridians connected to the eyes. If blindness is present, the problem may likely arise from this area.

A good Pill Refiner is also a master of medicine, a fact universally known.

Being a Pill Sovereign in his past life, it was natural that Fang Lin excelled in the field of medicine.

As soon as his fingers lightly pressed, Han Xiaoxing’s body quivered slightly. It was very faint, but Fang Lin noticed.

“Miss Xiaoxing, it seems you have a hidden ailment,” Fang Lin said, having not found anything wrong with her eyes but discovering a latent illness in her body.

At his words, Han Yinyue immediately looked worried, while Han Xiaoxing remained silent.

“Fang Lin, does my sister really have a latent illness? Is it serious?” Han Yinyue asked anxiously.

Fang Lin frowned, “Right now, it’s not severe but if not addressed, it could become untreatable once it manifests fully.”

Hearing this, Han Yinyue became instantly alarmed. Her sister’s latent illness was that serious, yet she was completely unaware.

“Sister, how did you get this latent illness? What exactly happened?” Han Yinyue was impatient for an explanation.

Han Xiaoxing coldly shook her head, “I don’t have any latent illness. He’s talking nonsense.”

Fang Lin gave a slight hmph. With his hands behind his back, he said, “Am I talking nonsense? Don’t you have a faint pain in your lower abdomen? It’s mild, but it acts up every day at noon, becoming more noticeable under the scorching sun.”

Han Xiaoxing’s face revealed a trace of shock, but she soon lowered her head.

Han Yinyue, seeing her sister’s expression, knew that Fang Lin was telling the truth.

“Fang Lin, can you cure her latent illness? I will repay you liberally,” Han Yinyue pleaded as she looked at Fang Lin.

If Miss Xiaoxing won’t tell me, I won’t be able to prescribe the right treatment.”

Actually, Fang Lin was 90% sure that he could cure Han Xiaoxing’s illness. But he was curious to know more about this Miss Xiaoxing.

Han Xiaoxing remained silent. She didn’t want to reveal her personal matters to a stranger and she didn’t want her sister to worry.

“Xiaoxing, don’t hide it any longer. What exactly is this illness of yours? Speak up so we can help you,” Han Yinyue persuaded..
