An Ningning paused for a mont, but then shook her head: "Lin Chen, I can't wait anymore, my foot has to be better by tomorrow to take the admission test."
Yao Lei looked smug: "Kid, only our Yao family's special dicine can ensure Ningning doesn't miss tomorrow's test."
Lin Chen sneered: "You call that junk from your Yao family dicine? Don't worry, Ningning, I only need to give you a few massages, and your foot injury will be healed."
An Ningning's face turned slightly cold: "Lin Chen, I really don't have ti for jokes."
As a Pharmacist, An Ningning also had so dical insight. Although a sprained ankle wasn't a major illness, healing bone and muscle injuries typically takes a hundred days. Imdiate recovery was simply impossible.
Yao Lei laughed until his stomach hurt: "Lin Chen, are you joking? You think a few massages can heal a sprained ankle. Do you seriously believe you're Hua Tuo reborn?"
Lin Chen ignored him and helped An Ningning sit on a stone chair: "Give it a try and you'll know."
Without further ado, he took An Ningning's injured foot.
An Ningning's jade-like foot was very delicate, with skin so fair and smooth, it felt very comfortable to hold.
Lin Chen's hand gently glided over An Ningning's injured ankle.
An Ningning felt a warm sensation penetrate into her bone marrow.
What's more unbelievable was, as Lin Chen gently massaged, the previously swollen ankle gradually reduced, and the pain disappeared.
Not far away, Yao Lei wore a mocking expression: "Kid, claiming that a massage can heal a sprain is simply absurd. I advise you not to ss around; if you press the wrong spot and sothing happens to Ningning's foot, I won't let you off."
Ignoring Yao Lei's sarcasm, Lin Chen continued to focus fully on massaging An Ningning.
An Ningning was initially skeptical, but as Lin Chen massaged, she was filled with shock.
"How is this possible? It really works."
Lin Chen's massage technique was very special; although gentle, every ti he pressed down, An Ningning felt extrely comfortable.
About five minutes later, Lin Chen let go: "Done, you can try walking a couple of steps."
"What? Walking a couple of steps?" An Ningning was stunned.
Though the pain had disappeared, it seed exaggerated to walk imdiately after just a few massages following a sprain.
Yao Lei looked even more contemptuous: "Kid, are you joking? Ningning's sprain was severe, and you want her to walk? What's your intention, do you want to harm her?"
Lin Chen, not bothered by him, kept a serious gaze on An Ningning: "Trust , it's fine."
With a nod, An Ningning carefully stood up and tentatively took her first step.
"Oh my god, it really doesn't hurt at all."
That first step brought An Ningning imnse surprise.
She was overjoyed, proceeding to take a few more steps.
Her steps were light, not only painless but feeling lighter as well.
It also seed like she had never sprained her foot at all.
Watching An Ningning walk effortlessly, Yao Lei was dumbfounded, jaw-dropped.
"How is this possible?"
Just monts ago he saw her ankle trendously swollen, but now she's walking as if there's nothing wrong.
Yao Lei rubbed his eyes, questioning if he was dreaming.
Even using their family's ancestral potion required an overnight rest for the liquid to seep in and anesthetize the nerves.
Moreover, using this potion, pain relief was temporary yet it impacted mobility a little, but An Ningning seed perfectly normal now.
"Lin Chen, you're amazing." Unable to resist, An Ningning jumped into Lin Chen's embrace.
Yao Lei's lungs almost burst with anger seeing this scene.
This treatnt was ant for him, but had been snatched away by this bastard.
Yao Lei glared harshly at An Ningning: "Congrats Ningning, you can attend the exam tomorrow. Rest assured I've spoken to the Pharmacist sect's examiner, you won't have any issues."
An Ningning glanced at Yao Lei: "Thanks for your kindness, but I intend to join the Pharmacist sect relying on my own skills, and since my foot is healed, the promises made earlier are void. We're not close, so please don't call
Ningning so intimately."
Yao Lei's face turned suddenly grim upon hearing this; his resentnt for Lin Chen peaked.
If it weren't for Lin Chen, his plan would have succeeded. All because of this ddling rascal.
Even feeling extrely upset, Yao Lei kept a smiling face in front of An Ningning.
"Ningning, I've booked an excellent room for you, co with , I'll arrange your accommodation," Yao Lei coaxed.
"Thanks for the offer, but I don't need it."
Turning her head, An Ningning laughed with Lin Chen: "Let's go register our accommodations."
Watching Lin Chen and An Ningning leave, Yao Lei boiled with anger: "This kid dares to steal my woman, I'll make him suffer horribly."
Lin Chen and An Ningning arrived at the registration, each presenting their recomndation letters.
Joining the Pharmacist sect required an elder's recomndation; Lin Chen's recomnder was Elder Xu, whom he t last ti in Zhonghai.
Upon seeing their recomndation letters, a young apprentice smiled: "It's late today, you two spend the night here, and join the Pharmacist sect test together tomorrow."
He then pulled out two keys: "Miss An Ningning, Mr. Yao has already booked a superior room for you, please proceed to your room."
The apprentice then offered another key: "I'm terribly sorry sir, due to many applicants, only inferior rooms are left. There's no superior or dium rooms available, so you can only stay in an inferior room."
"Fine!" Lin Chen didn't mind much about sleep, as most nights were spent on cultivation, so room type didn't concern him much.
An Ningning furrowed her brows: "Sir, I'd like to stay in an inferior room too, please give
a bed there."
Stunned, the young apprentice replied: "Miss, inferior rooms are on the ground floor, damp and moldy, far different from superior rooms."
An Ningning smiled calmly: "No problem, book
a room, preferably near this gentleman."
"Alright!" The apprentice hesitated a mont but acquiesced after An Ningning insisted, assigning her a room next to Lin Chen's.
Watching the two leave cheerfully, the apprentice wondered: "Wasn't Mr. Yao saying An Ningning is his girlfriend? But judging by this, An Ningning seems more interested in that loser guy."
In their rooms, as Lin Chen opened the door, a damp sll greeted them, evidently untouched for ages.
Lin Chen shook his head in resignation: "Silly girl, you forego a superior room to suffer with ."
"Humph, I won't neighbor Yao Lei anyway. Good night, see you tomorrow." With that, An Ningning entered her room.
Staring at the closed door, Lin Chen hesitated: "Does this girl have feelings for ? Should I make a gesture tonight?"
