Chapter 251: Lin Family’s Daughter

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Lin Shutong’s eyes lit up with stars when she saw Tongtong, almost subconsciously wanting to walk over to Xu Fan and stroke little Tongtong’s head.

Seeing Lin Shutong approach Xu Fan somewhat impetuously, Lin Yaoshi sternly said to her, “Tongtong, show some manners!”

“Huh, old grandpa, why are you scolding Tongtong?” Tongtong, leaning on Xu Fan’s shoulder, felt aggrieved and said to Elder Lin.

Lin Shutong had not expected that her grandfather, who spoiled her to the skies, would scold her over such a trivial matter. She was even more surprised when, before she could express her own grievance, the cute child in Xu Fan’s arms had already begun to protest the injustice on her behalf.

“Oh? Sweetheart, grandpa was talking about his own granddaughter, not you,” Elder Lin said to Tongtong with a face full of kindness.

“But you just said ‘Tongtong’!” Tongtong, her pigtails swinging, persisted stubbornly, her expression seeming to say, “Humph, I’m not a child easily fooled.”

“Ah? My dear friend Xu, is there some misunderstanding? The ‘Tongtong’ I was referring to just now is my granddaughter, Lin Shutong,” Elder Lin explained to Xu Fan, looking a bit confused.

“Haha, Elder Lin, it seems to be a misunderstanding. My daughter’s nickname is also Tongtong, but it comes from ‘child’ so that’s why this confusion occurred,” Xu Fan said with a slight smile, finding the world quite marvelous.

“Wow, so this little cutie actually shares my name! Sweetie, you’re such a good girl, how did you become so beautiful?” Lin Shutong was also in a good mood, having met a little girl with the same name as herself. She soon forgot about being reprimanded by Lin Yaoshi and, smiling, waved to Tongtong in greeting.

“Sister, you’re really pretty too! When Tongtong grows up, she wants to be as pretty as you,” Tongtong said in a milky voice, shaking her little head. Her cute tone nearly melted Lin Shutong.

“Grandpa, this child is so adorable, I like her so much,” Lin Shutong learned her lesson and didn’t rush to Xu Fan’s side to hug Tongtong. Instead, she clung to Elder Lin’s arm and softly pleaded with Lin Yaoshi.

Elder Lin was also very fond of his granddaughter and seeing her cling to his arm and using her charm on him almost made him give in. He cleared his throat and said slowly to Xu Fan, “My friend, it seems my granddaughter has taken quite a liking to the little girl in your arms. Could we possibly…?”

“Haha, it’s a rare coincidence they get along so well, and they even share the same name…” Xu Fan also smiled faintly, and gently asked the little Tongtong in his arms, “Sweetheart, would you like to play with this sister for a while?”

“Yes, yes! Tongtong wants to play with the pretty sister, and Tongtong wants a hug from the pretty sister,” Tongtong said excitedly.

Having said that, she wriggled her little hands free from Xu Fan’s embrace, jumped to the ground, and merrily marched towards Lin Shutong.

“Haha, let sister give you a hug, you really are a good baby!” Lin Shutong scooped Tongtong up in her arms and said from her heart.

“Elder Lin, the little girl can be under Tongtong’s care for now. Let us hurry to treat the patient,” Xu Fan said to Elder Lin after big Tongtong had picked up little Tongtong.

“Good, let’s go inside quickly. Old Sun’s illness cannot be delayed any longer,” Elder Lin nodded, waved to Sun Lihua, and the three of them hurried towards the manor.

Lin Shutong, carrying Tongtong, followed the two men at an unhurried pace, a trail of silvery laughter echoing behind them.

Xu Fan and Lin Yaoshi, led by Sun Lihua, arrived at a three-story building in the center of Phoenix Manor, enveloped in an ancient charm.

This building, from inside to out, was entirely designed in the ancient style of Yan Country, with green bricks and tiles, carved beams, and painted rafters, exuding an old-world elegance. Even the interior decorations adhered to the ancient style, with all the furniture made of precious sandalwood and rosewood. There was also an exquisite bronze incense box in the room, from which a scent of Dragon’s Brain Musk wafted.

There were also many famous ancient paintings and calligraphy in the room, and with a single glance, Xu Fan knew that these works were authentic pieces passed down from ancient times, not a single forgery among them.

Sun Lihua led the two to a bedroom on the first floor.

In the bedroom was a beautifully carved rosewood bed, upon which an old man lay covered with blankets. A nurse in a caregiver’s outfit stood anxiously beside him. Upon seeing Sun Lihua enter, she immediately leaned in toward him, as if eager to speak.

“Just speak up, there’s no need to whisper. These two are physicians, and they need to know the master’s true condition,” Sun Lihua said to the caregiver, tilting his chin with a stern look.

“All right. The master’s condition today is very bad. His body temperature keeps fluctuating, one moment he has a high fever, and the next he’s ice cold. Moreover, the master has already begun to speak nonsense. Every so often, he’ll mutter a few words, but as his voice is so indistinct, I can’t make out what he’s saying,” the caregiver conveyed to the trio with evident concern.

“Elder Lin, you must save my father!” Sun Lihua’s eyes were filled with immense worry as he spoke to Lin Yaoshi.

“Let me see what’s going on,” Lin Yaoshi said, furrowing his brows with a troubled expression as he sat down by the bed and reached out his finger to feel the old man’s pulse.

After ten seconds or so, Elder Lin’s frown deepened even more.

Lin Yaoshi had practiced medicine his whole life, but he had never encountered such a peculiar illness in his old friend. He couldn’t diagnose anything, yet the symptoms seemed more severe than any incurable disease.

Martial Artists normally did not fall ill, but his old friend had been greatly hurt due to an injury he suffered. Until now, he had become a frail, elderly man at the mercy of the wind and candlelight.

Just yesterday, he and Lin Yaoshi had gone to Yulou Ancient Town to attend an auction. Although the final item, the Blood Bodhi, was prohibitively expensive and its effectiveness uncertain, Elder Lin had exerted all his efforts to buy it and try it out.

Fortunately, Xu Fan was now here.

After Lin Yaoshi examined the elder and found nothing, he looked at Xu Fan with hopeful eyes, “Young Master Lin, I really can’t see what it is. I’m counting on you now.”

“All right, let me give it a try!” Xu Fan agreed and simply rolled up his sleeves.

Lin Yaoshi rose and quietly stepped aside.

At that moment, Lin Shutong came in holding Little Tongtong. Lin Yaoshi, seeing her beaming and playing happily with Little Tongtong, immediately put on a stern face and gestured for silence to Lin Shutong.

Upon seeing this, Lin Shutong immediately covered her mouth and quietly stood to one side.
