Chapter 33 -32 The Man Like a Sharp Sword (Second update)_1
Sword!
Moreover, it’s a sharp sword, radiating its entire radiance!
Of course, only if the man in front of her hadn’t given up on himself.
It’s a pity though, even if it is an outstandingly great sword, it is still a dust-covered sword incapable of exhibiting its sharp edges, essentially worth nothing more than a piece of scrap iron.
Cold phoenix eyes rest silently on the man in front of her, scanning him from top to bottom, finally resting on his long legs.
Perfect proportions, it really is a pity if it can’t stand up.
Although the beautiful girl in front of him is a doctor, rumored to be a divine healer, Xu Yibai is experiencing being scrutinised so brazenly by a woman for the first time.
Feeling inexplicably upset, coupled with a sense of embarrassment.
He had originally thought he didn’t care anymore, but upon venturing out from his own world, he discovered that he still deeply cared.
From being adored as a golden child by everyone, to an eagle in the business world and now, an object of pity and sympathy from others, Mu Lin thought such a plunge from grace could not be borne by an ordinary man. Considering the circumstances, the man in front of him was doing quite well.
The reason why she knew some things about the man in front of her was because of Xiang Manni, the starry-eyed nurse by her side.
“It seems you have finally come to terms with it, or were you forced to…” The implicit meaning in her words was not hard to decipher.
“Think as you wish.” The once sharp sword was now covered in dust, as far as Xu Yibai was concerned, nothing mattered anymore. The Xu Family felt that he was even prepared to accompany a sculpture of Buddha for the rest of his life.
They were genuinely worried but helpless.
They had heard that there was a highly skilled doctor here, capable of bringing the dead back to life. They wanted their child to give it a try, but despite begging, Xu Yibai refused. In the end, they sent their younger son and managed to upset Mu Lin in the process.
They had gone through a lot to finally bring him here today, just because Mu Lin said she could possibly cure him.
Perhaps this was their last sliver of hope.
This was the last request the Xu family had. It was also the only condition under which Xu Yibai agreed to leave his home today.
…
“Leaving everything else aside, I just want to ask you one thing. ” Her brows curved as she asked, her usually cool phoenix eyes carrying an uncharacteristic hint of chill, “Do you believe you can stand again? The man’s problem isn’t just medical. The biggest issue is himself. If he doesn’t even wish to believe that he can stand again, then even if her medical skills were divine, they would prove useless.”
“Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that question?” Xu Yibai inexplicably retorted, surprising his brother Xu Yiwen, who was standing beside him.
Xu Yibai wondered, was the question of whether he believed in his ability to stand again really that important?
Oh? It seems that the sword wants to question her. How daring.
Mu Lin raised her slender eyebrows. However, his attitude amused her.
She had initially thought he was glum and hopeless, but it seems his external presentation was just a façade. The man in front of her is not that simple.
“Hmm…” Mu Lin scoffed, “It seems you don’t really care about your legs. If that’s the case, there’s the door. You can leave.”
In response to Mu Lin’s dismissal, before Xu Yiwen could speak, Xu Yibai simply glanced indifferently at Mu Lin and said, “It seems Dr. Mu is not confident in her own medical skills. Since that’s the case, Dad, Mom, Yiwen, let’s go.”
Saying this, he turned his wheelchair, preparing to leave.
Watching the man in front of her, Mu Lin was inexplicably amused.
It seemed like this Xu Yibai was smarter than his brother! He knew how to use reverse psychology on her.
“You stop right there.” Mu Lin’s voice carried a hint of annoyance, “Since you say I lack confidence, let’s make a bet, shall we?” She leisurely walked up to Xu Yibai, looking down at him.
“What are we betting on?” His body instinctively leaned back onto the wheelchair, but there wasn’t even a hint of retreat in his voice.

“If I can make you stand again, you will agree to… any three conditions I ask for; if I can’t, I’ll do the same. How about it? Dare to take the bet?” Her words carried an undeniable air of arrogance and confidence.
Heh, honestly, weren’t it for her peculiar “interest” in his legs, she wouldn’t bother wasting her time with him.
“Any conditions?”
“Any conditions!”
“In that case, I’ll look forward to it.” The corners of his mouth curled into a rare smile, as he looked intently at Mu Lin. His eyes, however, revealed a profound complexity.
“Just wait, I will definitely make you… remember it for the rest of your life!” Mu Lin scoffed.
Standing on the sidelines, Xu Yiwen watched the tension unfolding between the two in silence, a look of relief spreading across his face.
It had been a long time since he had seen such a smile on his older brother’s face.
It seemed that their persistence over this period of time was correct. Now, all he hoped for was that Mu Lin could indeed get his older brother up on his feet again.
