Chapter 31: Please Welcome Divine Healer Lin!

Lin Yang saw Qin Mo Nong's gloomy expression and pressed on, "Let me ask you, did you also deceive me about my engagement with the Liu family? Liu Chengzhi never requested to break off the engagement, you were playing both sides, weren't you?"

"So you’ve found out."

Qin Mo Nong no longer bothered to hide it and admitted frankly, "That's right, I was the one who called off the engagement."

Lin Yang raised his thumb, fury boiling within him. "What a clever tactic, Qin Mo Nong. You really have a knack for manipulation, don't you? Must feel quite accomplished, holding everyone in the palm of your hand."

He stepped forward, gaze sharp and aura intimidating. Qin Mo Nong instinctively took a step back, speechless.

"I came here today to surprise you. The banquet is about to begin—wait and see," Lin Yang declared, turning to leave.

"Lin Yang! Must you do this?" Qin Mo Nong called after him.

Lin Yang turned around and replied, "Yes, I must. Unless you kill me now, but you don’t have the ability."

"Some things aren’t as you imagine. Would you hear me out?"

"The facts are plain to see. There’s no need to imagine anymore. If I think too much, I might not be able to resist killing you myself."

His eyes flashed with undisguised murderous intent. With those words, Lin Yang strode away, leaving Qin Mo Nong no chance to respond.

Qin Mo Nong sat down, feeling powerless, and sighed deeply. "Is this truly retribution?"

Feeling stifled, Lin Yang didn’t return directly to the lounge but wandered alone to the hotel’s artificial lake.

Inside the banquet hall, the celebration was about to begin, and guests gradually took their seats.

"Mom, where’s that blind fool?" Qin Yanran asked.

Qin Mo Nong said nothing, her expression sour.

"How dare that blind fool upset you! I’ll make sure he gets what’s coming to him—he’ll be picking his teeth off the floor," Qin Yanran vented angrily.

"Enough! Don’t provoke him," Qin Mo Nong snapped coldly.

Just then, the emcee took the stage to begin the birthday banquet. Murong Zhang, Murong Ze, and Cao Keming emerged from the lounge one after another.

"Yun’er, where’s Mr. Lin? The banquet is starting soon. Today, he’s the star," Murong Zhang asked.

"I’ll go look for him. The banquet will proceed as planned," Murong Yun replied.

Murong Ze had already received confirmation from his secretary, acknowledging Lin Yang’s medical expertise. His previous arrogance and disdain had vanished, replaced by admiration.

"Later, I must share a drink with Mr. Lin to express my apologies," Murong Ze said.

Everyone in the banquet hall was eagerly awaiting the appearance of the mysterious guest of honor.

"So it’s Director Cao, but where is the main guest?"

"Wait and see. Important people always make a grand entrance."

Guests whispered among themselves.

After the emcee’s opening remarks, Murong Zhang stepped to the front, prompting all guests to rise and offer birthday congratulations.

Murong Zhang pressed his palms together in gratitude and signaled everyone to sit.

"First, I sincerely thank you all for taking time to attend my birthday banquet. But in truth, I am not tonight’s main character."

Upon hearing this, the guests understood that the guest of honor was about to appear.

"Who could this person be, to overshadow even the host and become the night's main focus?"

"I’m quite curious myself."

Murong Zhang’s words piqued everyone’s curiosity.

Among the distinguished guests, only Qi Yixin knew the guest of honor was Lin Yang, but he wisely refrained from leaking the information.

"Tonight’s guest of honor is a distinguished guest of the Murong family, and my savior."

"To be candid, yesterday I visited the Tianma Mountain Cemetery, suffered a sudden attack, and was at death’s door. This extraordinary gentleman saved me with his miraculous medical skills. Then I was ambushed by my enemy."

"They sent a seventh-rank expert, the situation was dire. Once again, this gentleman intervened, defeating the seventh-rank expert in a single move and saving my life."

The crowd suddenly understood.

"So he saved the old master twice in a row—what luck!"

"Luck? It takes real skill as well. If you were ambushed by a seventh-rank expert, luck wouldn’t save you."

"Defeating a seventh-rank expert in a single move isn’t that extraordinary. As for medical skills, can he really outshine Qi Yixin? Still sounds like luck."

"I thought it was some remarkable figure, but it’s nothing special. They say Director Cao came just for this person—utter nonsense."

The guests murmured quietly.

Qin Mo Nong, seated below the stage, frowned. She thought, this isn’t much of a big deal, so why would Director Cao show such respect?

"Now, please welcome my savior and distinguished guest of the Murong family, Mr. Lin," Murong Zhang announced.

All eyes turned to the passage at the left side of the stage, but Lin Yang did not appear.

"Mr. Lin is a modest man, it seems he prefers not to stand in the spotlight. I will invite him personally. Meanwhile, please welcome Director Cao to the stage for a few words," Murong Zhang deftly resolved the awkward moment and invited Cao Keming up.

Cao Keming rose and walked onto the stage, while Murong Zhang headed backstage.

As Cao Keming stepped up, the banquet hall erupted in applause.

Gesturing for quiet, Cao Keming stood at the microphone and said, "Today, I am just an ordinary guest, and have little to say. But since Master Murong mentioned Mr. Lin, I must add a few words."

He went on to explain that he too suffered a sudden mysterious illness today, and all the experts from the Municipal First Hospital, including Qi Yixin, were summoned but could do nothing. The situation was critical.

"Fortunately, Mr. Lin, with his miraculous skills, pulled me back from the gates of death."

"I have never witnessed such wondrous medical expertise. Mr. Lin is truly a divine healer. You can see for yourselves, I recovered and was discharged in half a day. If this is not the work of a divine physician, then what is?"

If Murong Zhang’s earlier account had not garnered much attention—many still believed Lin Yang was merely lucky—then now, with Cao Keming’s endorsement, Lin Yang’s status and reputation soared.

"Master Qi, you are recognized in Luocheng for your outstanding medical skills. Do you think I have exaggerated my praise for Mr. Lin?" Cao Keming gestured to Qi Yixin seated below.

Qi Yixin quickly stood and said, "Director Cao’s words are not exaggerated in the slightest. Mr. Lin’s medical skills are truly extraordinary, capable of reviving the dead—he deserves the title of divine physician."

"Taking this opportunity, I wish to ask all present to stop calling me ‘Divine Physician Qi’—I am not worthy. Having witnessed Mr. Lin’s abilities, I realize I was a frog at the bottom of a well, complacent and ignorant. I am deeply ashamed!"

"Mr. Lin is the true divine physician."

With that, the banquet hall became lively.

"So he really is a divine healer!"

"With such medical skills, he truly is a distinguished figure."

From Qi Yixin’s reputation and network in Luocheng, it was clear that those with superb medical skills are revered wherever they go.

To be a divine physician—such connections and status are unimaginable.

"For Luocheng to produce such a young divine healer, it is a source of pride for our city. Now, please welcome Divine Physician Lin to the stage."

Cao Keming, visibly moved, spoke with fervor and passion.
