"That won't do!" Cousin Long immediately objected. "Cousin, he has arms and legs. Why should he take the carriage?"
"Cousin, Lin gongzi is a guest. How can you allow him to walk?" He Qingxue asked.
"Qingxue, there's a difference between a man and a woman, not to mention, the carriage is so cramped," Cousin Long added.
"Cousin, there's no need to say anything. I've already made up my mind." He Qingxue said with a stern face. "Besides, the carriage isn't small, and there's even a field. We can't be considered as a single man and woman."
"But … even if that lad has to take the carriage, he can at least take my carriage … At most, I'll just walk." How could Cousin Long be willing to let his cousin sit in the same carriage as Lin Long? But since he couldn't convince his cousin, he could only resort to this.
"Cousin Long, you still have to take care of Uncle," He Qingxue said.
"Indeed, Cousin Long, you still have to take care of Uncle," He Tiantian chimed in. After which, she walked over and pulled Lin Long's hand. "Big Brother Lin, let's go. Let's take my older sister's carriage. Let me tell you, my older sister's carriage smells really good …"
Hearing He Tiantian's words, Cousin Long's face turned livid, but there was nothing he could do about it.
How could Lin Long let go of such an opportunity? "Sure, let's take your older sister's carriage then."
However, when they arrived at the carriage that He Qingxue's cousin was in, Lin Long suddenly stopped and asked, "Miss He, what illness has your uncle contracted?"
"Sigh, my uncle's health has been deteriorating since a few years ago. He often feels dizzy, and it's difficult for him to walk. He can only lie in bed every day, and he even caught a cold a few days ago. I'm afraid that he won't even be able to speak now," He Qingxue replied with a sigh.
"Oh …" Lin Long nodded. "I have a pill here that might be able to alleviate his illness for the time being."
"Gongzi, there's no need for you to go to the trouble. I've invited a few reputable physicians to treat my uncle's illness, but they didn't do much. At the moment, they can only alleviate his illness slightly." He Qingxue shook her head.
"How would you know if you don't give it a try?" Lin Long chuckled softly as he released He Tiantian's hand. Without caring whether He Qingxue agreed to it or not, he walked forward and opened the carriage door.
"You rascal, who allowed you to go up there?" He Qingxue's cousin rushed over when he saw the situation.
Most people would be overjoyed to see that someone was willing to take out a pill to save their life, but how could this cousin of his, who wanted nothing more than to beat Lin Long up, appreciate Lin Long's kindness? Not only did he not appreciate it, he even wanted to use it as a pretext to make a fuss.
Who would have thought that he would be grabbed tightly after taking two steps. The other party's hand was like a pair of iron pincers that grabbed his arm, making him unable to move at all.
When he turned around and saw that it was Elder Dong, he immediately said angrily, "You damned old man, what are you doing? Let go of me!"
Elder Dong didn't even look at him. Instead, he focused his attention on the carriage in front of him.
At this moment, Lin Long had already entered the carriage, and he saw a middle-aged man in his forties lying on the ground. The middle-aged man's face was devoid of blood, and even though he was wearing a thick cotton coat, his body was still trembling uncontrollably.
Lin Long wasn't a brilliant physician, but he was confident in his top-tier recovery medicine. Thus, he took out a top-tier recovery medicine and fed it to the middle-aged man.
Only after that did he walk out of the carriage.
"Miss He, I've already fed the pill to your uncle. It shouldn't take long for him to recover from his cold," Lin Long said to He Qingxue.
"Thank you, gongzi," He Qingxue quickly replied.
He Qingxue's cousin spat viciously. "Brat, if there's anything wrong with my father, I'll …"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized that Linlong, who was looking at him, had suddenly surged with a powerful murderous aura and was crushing towards him.
The powerful killing intent caused his body to tremble uncontrollably, and an inexplicable fear welled up in his heart.
This fear caused him to forget what he was going to say.
By the time Lin Long retracted his gaze, the feeling had also abruptly disappeared.
Even though he still harbored a deep grudge against Lin Long, he didn't dare to utter a single word.
Elder Dong was right beside He Qingxue's cousin, so he naturally noticed He Qingxue's reaction. He couldn't help but stare at Lin Long in astonishment. Even though he didn't have the same experience as He Qingxue's cousin, he could still sense the strength that Lin Long had displayed in that instant.
Is this brat just a Martial Master? Such a thought flashed across his mind.
Following that, Lin Long followed He Qingxue and He Tiantian into He Qingxue's carriage.
He Qingxue's carriage was slightly wider than the other carriages, so it wasn't too cramped for the three of them to sit together. Furthermore, He Tiantian was sitting right in the middle.
After getting into the carriage, He Qingxue was just about to say something to alleviate the awkwardness between them when Lin Long spoke up. "Miss He, you must have some sort of hidden illness, right?"
He Qingxue was stunned for a moment before asking in astonishment, "Gongzi, how did you know?"
She did have a hidden illness, and she had never told anyone around her about it. Every time, she would say that it was because she used her secret art, and her body would recover on its own.
However, only she knew that the side effects of using her secret art weren't that easy to get rid of. Furthermore, the more she used her secret art, the more severe her condition would become.
"I know someone who's in a similar situation as you," Lin Long said with a smile.
Linlong didn't know such a person, but he knew that all Spirit Masters more or less had this kind of hidden illness, especially those Spirit Masters who were physically weak. The hidden illness in their bodies would be more serious.
He Qingxue was clearly such a person.
"Gongzi, do you mean that there's no way to save it?" He Qingxue asked in disappointment.
"Of course not," Lin Long replied.
"Then what is it?" He Qingxue's eyes immediately lit up. This kind of hidden illness had been tormenting her at all times, and it would only worsen when she used her secret art. Naturally, she wanted to get rid of it.
"Swallow this pill first. I'll concoct some medicine for you when we arrive at the Black Ridge Canyon Market. After consuming it for a few days, it should be able to get rid of your hidden illness," Lin Long said.
"Gongzi, are you an apothecary?" He Qingxue widened her eyes in astonishment.
"Un, you can say that." Linlong smiled, then said, "However, compared to you, who is a Spirit Master, it is still too far away."
"Gongzi, you know that I'm a Spirit Master?" He Qingxue was even more surprised than before.
Ever since she started learning runes, He Qingxue had known that she was different from ordinary runemasters. However, she had never revealed this fact to anyone else. She had only told them that she was a runemaster.
She didn't think that Lin Long would be able to see through it so easily.
"It's very simple." Lin Long smiled. He took out a pill from his robe and passed it over. "Take this pill first."
He Tiantian stretched out her neck and sniffed Lin Long's palm out of curiosity. After which, she turned to Lin Long and said, "Big Brother Lin, I want one too."
"Alright, I'll give it to you when you grow up." Lin Long stroked her head.
"Alright then," He Tiantian replied in disappointment.
However, the obedient her didn't act coquettishly anymore.
