Lin Wanwan wiped the sweat from her forehead and awkwardly chuckled, "Ancestor, actually I’m just a half-baked nurse. My master saw I had little talent and was too lazy to teach me, hehe, hehe." The old gentleman said decisively, "You should follow me for the next few days, would you be willing?" Was he going to teach her personally? How could she refuse? Lin Wanwan quickly agreed loudly. After chatting with Lin Wanwan, Sun Simiao called the three middle-aged Daoists who were engrossed in reading medical books outside into the chamber, letting them continue reading inside on the mats while he took Lin Wanwan to the front infirmary to start teaching diagnostics. Lin Wanwan, a ’barefoot doctor’ with just a superficial theoretical foundation, was being taught hand-in-hand by the ancestor of the medical community, feeling both pain and joy. During this time, Xiao Chong and Cao Xian also visited the old Immortal Sun, and upon seeing Lin Wanwan turned into the little disciple of the old Immortal Sun, they were quite surprised. After learning that Lin Wanwan had even offered the medical books left by her master, they were even more impressed with her. To study more closely, Lin Wanwan stayed at Ge Xian Temple that night. In the Great Tang, it was common for Daoist temples and monasteries to host virtuous women, as they also functioned as hostels. Still, they would separate the courtyards by gender and lock them at night. The Tang Dynasty believed themselves to be descendants of Laozi, so Taoism was greatly admired by the upper class, having fewer strict rules compared to Buddhism. Therefore, many women seeking freedom chose to embrace Taoism, as long as they had enough money to buy a blank voucher, they could legally become Taoist practitioners. At Ge Xian Temple, there were many Daoist nuns and female Taoists, and many noblewomen who had made mistakes or felt unrest chose to stay in a temple for a while, recuperate and interact with the Daoist nuns and female Taoists. So Lin Wanwan staying there wouldn’t jeopardize her reputation - although she wasn’t worried about it either. The Xiao Family received a letter sent back from Kun Lun, learning that Lin Wanwan would stay at Ge Xian Temple for a few days to learn medicine from the old Immortal Sun, causing quite some discussion within the mansion. In just one night, everyone from the top to the bottom of the Xiao Mansion, including the mice in the sewers, got word of Lin Wanwan being favored by the old Immortal Sun. Besides the Xiao Family, other concerned gentry from Qiantang County also got the news from various channels after two days. After hearing about this matter, He Miao from the He Family finally felt some relief about Lin Wanwan treating her leg. These past two days, her mind was heavy, sometimes worrying whether she would be crippled, sometimes blaming her maid for not stopping Lin Wanwan, who treated her randomly while she was unconscious. She had broken several fine porcelain pieces in her room over this. This stone in He Miao’s heart was only put down after hearing that Lin Wanwan was valued by the old Immortal Sun. The news was told to her by Lu Ying’er when visiting. "That vixen, who knows what she’s staying in the temple for. My cousin and old Huang are also staying at Ge Xian Temple for the sake of Mr. Sun recently!" Lu Ying’er was very displeased with Xiao Chong not returning to stay at the county government but staying in the temple all the time, yet she couldn’t change anything. It wasn’t until today that she succeeded in persuading her mother to agree to visit Ge Xian Temple again. Her mother, Lady Xiao, actually believes in Buddhism and was a regular visitor of Lingyin Temple, almost never visiting Ge Xian Temple. It was only because of the old Immortal Sun that she begrudgingly brought her daughter over this time. Of course, part of the reason was also concerning her cousin Xiao Chong who came to Qiantang but didn’t stay at her house. County Magistrate Lu already returned to work on the sixth, while Xiao Chong, the magistrate of Mao County, was still absent from his post. His behavior would surely be criticized by his superiors, but Xiao Chong didn’t care, as it was actually a part of his plan. Recently, Ge Xian Temple indeed had more spiritual essence compared to Lingyin Temple, not only hosting the old Immortal Sun but also a leading scholar like Cao Xian. Aristocratic heirs from Qiantang and Hangzhou, upon hearing the news, came up the mountain daily to visit the two, mainly to visit Cao Xian. After all, the learning of the latter is considered a treasure by the intellectuals, and listening to Cao Xian’s teachings is definitely more rewarding than studying hard by oneself for several years. Lin Wanwan spent the evenings in the modern era catching up on her basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, and during the day, followed Divine Doctor Sun for consultations. Despite lacking sleep, she improved rapidly. Besides learning medicine, during her free time, she also played several games of horse polo with Xiao Chong on the polo field, and her horse riding skills improved quickly as well.

Lu Ying’er and her mother arrived just in time to witness the grand scene of row-upon-row slurping. Lady Lu’s gaze turned to Lin Wanwan and Xiao Chong lined up side by side and sighed immediately, "Zifang, you’ve worked hard." A fine young gentleman was made to look like a farmer without any regard! Actually, it wasn’t hard at all, getting to enjoy Hua Nong’s delicious cooking three times a day morning, noon, and evening was quite delightful. Being a woman, received by the Daoist nun, after slurping the last of the soup, the older Daoist nun wiped her mouth with her sleeve and smiled at Lady Xiao, "Madam Lu, this poor Taoist greets you." Lady Lu slightly furrowed her brows, then faintly smiled again, "Greetings, Daoist." Subsequently, Lady Lu also bowed and paid respects to Sun Simiao and Cao Xian, both of whom were old enough and had enough prestige to receive her courtesy. After breakfast, as usual, everyone dispersed. Xiao Chong left with Cao Xian, Lin Wanwan followed Divine Doctor Sun, Qingyu followed Lu Zhao Lin, while the older Daoists and Daoist nuns went about their own businesses. Lady Lu and Lu Ying’er then followed the older Daoist nun to the main hall to offer incense. After offering incense and donating some incense money, Lady Lu was arranged to rest in a private chamber while Lu Ying’er eagerly searched the temple for Xiao Chong’s shadow. As a result, she didn’t find Xiao Chong, but nearly bumped into Xiao Yixun head-on due to her rush. Today, Xiao Yixun was not wearing a kerchief, but had only pulled up the hood of her white cloak, looking indifferently at Lu Ying’er being stopped by the mute maid A Qing. Lu Ying’er and her maids were too startled by Xiao Yixun’s pure white appearance to reprimand A Qing’s rudeness. Facing Lu Yinger’s exclamation, Xiao Yixun’s eyebrows didn’t even twitch. She had seen enough strangers witnessing her unusual state. What’s more, besides her, there was also an incredibly ugly witch and a tan, burly man with rolled-back eyes following her. Genteel noble daughters screaming when seeing this was all too normal. Her group directly ignored them and headed toward the infirmary in the temple. Lu Ying’er was helped up by her flustered maid, clutching the maid’s arm in panic while staring at Xiao Yixun’s back and whispering, "Who... who is she?" Her maid was also pale, saying, "Replying to young miss, this servant does not... not know."
