With a thoughtful nod, Mu Lin spoke again, “If you can, find out for me who exactly is the person who targeted your father.”

She must know!

There was a cold glint in Mu Lin’s eyes. Perhaps she could glean something from this, something she had always wanted to know.

“I understand.” Zhang Mingzhe nodded. Although he didn’t know why Mu Lin wanted to know this, he was certain of one thing—Mu Lin would not harm them.

“Thank you,” Mu Lin nodded at him, promising, “Don’t worry, my wanting to know this matter should only benefit you. If you encounter it again, you can come directly to me. Consider it a favor I’ll owe you.”

“Um… okay.” Zhang Mingzhe paused, then smiled wryly.

Though the favor was tempting.

But!

He wished never to encounter the situation again! However, based on Mu Lin’s words, he felt assured. When his grandpa heard Mu Lin’s words, he would surely be happy.

Even if he didn’t know why Mu Lin wanted to intervene, he thought that she would inform them when she was ready.

Beyond that, he didn’t want to pry any further.

Mu Lin was cloaked in too many secrets. Despite the intrigue, digging deeper felt inappropriate. The more you know, the more troubles you invite.

While many people here understood that principle, some remained oblivious, curiously edging forward.

“Mu Lin, why does the topic of your discussion feel so grave?” As if holding onto a secret, “How are you related to when Mingzhe was poisoned last time?” Isn’t she, the lifesaver?

“Did I say something wrong?” Bewildered by the six sets of speechless eyes, Yang Yuebin asked.

The crowd: “…” How were they supposed to remind this clueless fool?

“You didn’t say anything wrong.” Looking at Yang Yuebin, Mu Lin chuckled lightly, “I do have some loose connection to the incident last time. That’s the reason why I saved him.”

Everyone instinctively pricked up their ears, including Jing Youlan who couldn’t help but sit up straight; they all wondered if Mu Lin would have saved them had she been unconnected to the incident.

Of course, they didn’t dare voice such a question. They simply listened as Mu Lin further explained.

“If I were to say that I do have some connection with the incident last time, then probably it’s that the poison used is inseparable from me.” It wasn’t a significant secret. Sharing it with them wasn’t a big deal. More importantly, she needed their help.

“What kind of connection?” Zhou Yicen asked instinctively.

Did she know the origin of that poison?

“That thing is my property.” Ignoring the shocked and unbelieving expressions on everyone’s face, Mu Lin simply stated, “I never thought that it would end up in anyone else’s hands apart from mine.”

“To make an overconfident statement,” Mu Lin directed her gaze at Zhang Mingzhe, “if I hadn’t been around when he was poisoned, you would have certainly died.” This wasn’t her being overconfident, it was just a simple statement of facts.

If these things weren’t from her, then there was only one other possible source.

Those things that she had given her Master for protection, they reappeared after her Master was no more. These people definitely had something to do with her Master’s death.

Mu Lin was certain of this, thus she must investigate!

Everyone was shocked but none could refute Mu Lin, accuse her of arrogance, because she had already proven that her words were true.

“You mean to say that poison originally belonged to you?” Zhang Mingzhe asked in disbelief. But that was…

“Mingzhe, what do you know?” Something about Zhang Mingzhe’s facial expression wasn’t right. He must know something they didn’t. Moreover, he was an innocent victim in this incident.

“I heard this poison is called ‘Soul Returning.’ It comes from… Poison Doctor.” As he pronounced the last two words, Zhang Mingzhe’s gaze was fixed steadily on Mu Lin’s eternally unruffled eyes.

Poison Doctor, a name known only to those she had saved. Nobody knew her identity, age, appearance, or gender. Nor dare anyone leak a shred of information about her. There was a saying that better to provoke King Yama than the Poison Doctor. King Yama would take your life in due course, but Poison Doctor could take your life in the blink of an eye.

Even Yama’s claim over life, if she wished, she could overrule.

Though she possessed medical ethics, she lacked medical compassion. Who she saved depended on her whim. She seemed content with killing more than with saving.

The reason they said Poison Doctor had medical ethics was because she disliked her creations being exploited by others.

There was a rumor that some had hired assassins to infiltrate the Black Forest, the exclusive abode of the Poison Doctor. Not one had ever emerged. Thereafter, it was said all had become premium fertilizer for growing herbs. From then on, none dared to cross the Poison Doctor.

Unless you had several lives to spare.

Mu Lin wanted to clarify, where did they get the idea… that she enjoys killing!
