On the Ark.

He froze halfway through his sentence.

She stared blankly at the scene before her. Lin Ye, disheveled, was pinned down by Lappland, whose shirt was completely torn to shreds. The wooden bed frame was still trembling slightly, creaking under the weight it shouldn't have been bearing.

When they heard Sussuruo's voice, Lin Ye and Lappland turned around together. Seeing Sussuruo's expression, Lin Ye knew that there had been a misunderstanding.

“Hey, Susuluo, this isn’t what you think…” Lin Ye uttered a classic line from a soap opera.

But Lapland beat him to it.

"What was that Su-something again?" Lappland tilted her head, trying to recall Susuro's name, but couldn't remember, so she gave up and said to Susuro in a boastful tone, "Look at this quack, he's so useless. I didn't even have to do anything before he collapsed, he only lasted a few seconds..."

"Lappland!" Lin Ye roared.

Susuluo silently closed the door, letting the bed in the room creak even louder.

You must tell Miss Liz when you get back.

Susuluo thought to herself, "I must let Miss Liz know what kind of person Dr. Lin Ye is!"

Author's rant: This chapter was going pretty smoothly, but then a friend dragged me in for a heart-to-heart talk, and while we were talking, I suddenly became withdrawn too, and I'm thinking about whether I should see a therapist...

Chapter 235 Are you a saint?! (4K)

When Lin Ye dragged his exhausted body downstairs, he found that everyone was already waiting in the restaurant, including Chu Xue.

"Good morning."

Lin Ye greeted everyone listlessly, and then watched as Jiao Feng, wearing an apron, walked in carrying two trays.

Horn Peak noticed Lin Ye and immediately frowned. He first placed the two plates in front of Chu Xue and Ya Xin, then stood up straight and looked at Lin Ye with a serious expression: "Dr. Lin, you can't do this again."

Lin Ye had caught a bad cold from Lappland's antics, feeling dizzy and unsure if he had a fever. So when he sat down and heard Horn Peak's words, he didn't react immediately, remaining stunned for almost five seconds before asking, "Can't it be anything?"

Horn Peak untied his apron and draped it over the back of the chair, then walked over to Lin Ye and said, "Dr. Lin, I know you're in your prime and full of energy, but you can't be up so early in the morning..."

This time, Lin Ye realized what was happening and jumped up from his chair like a startled rabbit: "Hey, don't talk nonsense! If you slander my innocence, even if I can't beat you, I'll fight you to the death!"

“Innocence? What innocence?” Horn Peak said. “I clearly heard your voice. You were training with Lappland early in the morning.”

"You're saying... um? Training?" Lin Ye was taken aback. "You mean Lappland and I were training?"

"Otherwise what?" Horn Peak frowned. "Could it be that you're doing something else?"

"No, no, no, no, no." Lin Ye shook his head repeatedly, then insisted, "Training, it's training."

Then they started apologizing.

"I'm sorry to have disturbed you."

Horn Peak's expression softened considerably: "You've put your heart into it. I don't mind, I get up very early anyway, but the eldest young lady and the second young lady are different, especially since you live in the room next to the eldest young lady. How can the eldest young lady rest with such a commotion?"

Lin Ye continued to apologize, and then he noticed that Chu Xue and Ya Xin were both secretly laughing.

Horn Peak continued lecturing him: "Dr. Lin, I know how hard you work. You're just a medical worker, yet you push yourself harder than most combat personnel. I'm not saying you can't train in the morning, but don't do it in your room. Your room is so close to the young lady's. If you absolutely have to train in your room, come to mine. My room is on the first floor, as long as you don't shout too loudly..."

"No need, no need." Lin Ye was startled and shook his head like a rattle drum. "I'll practice at night next time. I'll go out to practice with Lappland at night. No need to trouble you."

“It’s not a hassle, I’m bored at night too. Although I don’t know swordsmanship, I can teach you how to build muscle, Dr. Lin, you’re really too thin.” Horn Peak rambled on for a while, and only let Lin Ye go when he saw that Lin Ye was really hungry. “Wait here, I’ll go get you breakfast.”

Lin Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief after Horn Peak left.

Then Ya Xin sat down next to him: "Dr. Lin, where is Lappland?"

"She's sleeping." Lin Ye sighed. "She was like a mad dog, causing a ruckus all night before coming back. Now she's exhausted and asleep."

“I heard it from Susuluo,” Yaxin asked. “Was she sleeping in your bed?”

Lin Ye was about to nod when he felt that Ya Xin's tone was strange. Then he realized what was going on, turned around and glared at Su Suluo, who pretended not to see it.

"Hey, Dr. Lin, you don't look too well," Ya Xin asked. "Are you sick?"

"Maybe," Lin Ye replied weakly. "That guy Lappland stole my blanket."

Chu Xue's ears twitched; even though Lin Ye's voice wasn't loud, she still heard it.

"Dr. Lin? Are you sick?" Chu Xue put down her knife and fork and came over. "Let me take a look."

Lin Ye originally wanted to refuse, but he was so sick that he let Chu Xue see him.

Chu Xue reached out and pressed her hand on Lin Ye's forehead. After about three to five seconds, she withdrew it and murmured, "It seems like he really has a fever."

"It's all Lappland's fault..."

"It's alright, if it's just a cold, I can handle it."

Lin Ye looked at Chu Xue with some surprise: "You also know medicine?"

"Well, although I've been working in the medical department, I'm still not very good at medicine," Chu Xue said. "But I can give you a blessing."

Lin Ye: "..."

"Why do you look so disbelieving?" Chu Xue asked, somewhat annoyed. "So many people wanted my blessing back then, but I didn't give it to them."

"It's not that I don't believe... I just don't know if blessings can cure illnesses."

"Of course not."

Lin Ye: "..."

"Sigh, I don't know how to tell you this, just close your eyes."

Since things had already come to this, Lin Ye decided to listen to Chu Xue's opinion and see what she wanted to do. He closed his eyes and then felt Chu Xue's hand on his head again.

"Let me offer my prayers to the mountains for you."

Lin Ye heard Chu Xue's soft murmur.

Then, whether it was a trick of the mind or not, Lin Ye heard the sound of wind, making him feel as if he were standing in blessed mountains. He didn't know how much time had passed, but then a series of clear and melodious bell sounds rang out in the wind, and surrounded by these bell sounds, his fatigue and pain gradually faded away.

"It's ready." He heard Chuxue's voice again.

Lin Ye opened his eyes and found Chu Xue standing in front of him, holding a bell in her hand. At the same time, he felt as if his body had become stronger again.

"What kind of power is this?" Lin Ye couldn't help but ask.

Horn Peak's voice rang out: "This is naturally the young lady's power, a blessing from the Saintess of Kalan. Doctor Lin, you are blessed."

Horn Peak had returned to the restaurant, carrying a plate.

"Is this the power of a blessing?" Lin Ye murmured, looking at his hands. "How amazing! Does this mean my illness is cured?"

“No.” Chu Xue shook her head, then said seriously, “You still have a fever, but before I blessed you, you had a painful fever, but after I blessed you, you have a comfortable fever.”

Lin Ye: "..."

"So you still have a fever." Su Sulu walked to Lin Ye's side and held up a small medicine bottle. "This is cold medicine, take a few pills."

Lin Ye immediately felt that Su Suluo was more reliable. He could feel that his body temperature hadn't gone down, but the previous fatigue was gone, so he felt much better. It seemed that Chu Xue was quite capable, so he thanked her. Chu Xue nodded and took Lingdang back to eat.

“That bell…” Lin Ye noticed the bell.

“This is the Sacred Bell,” First Snow explained simply. “It belongs to the successive Saintesses of Sherag and can be used to wield the power of wind and snow.”

It seems to be another amazing artifact.

Lin Ye couldn't help but take a second look.

Then she heard Ya Xin's words: "Dr. Lin, where do you want to go today?"

"Hmm?" Lin Ye looked at Ya Xin with some confusion. "Why are you asking me where I want to go?"

“You’re a guest,” Ya Xin said, shrugging. “My brother’s not here, so we’ll have to fend for ourselves today. Where do you want to go? We’ll go with you.”

Has SilverAsh gone out again? No wonder First Snow came down for dinner.

Lin Ye noticed that when Cliff Heart mentioned Silver Gray, Snowfall's expression didn't change at all, as if she had completely ignored him.

The relationship between the brother and sister is still quite complicated.

But Lin Ye still wanted to do something, so when Ya Xin asked him, he didn't answer immediately but pondered. If he disregarded this matter, he wanted to go to town again to see if he could meet someone as naive and innocent as the Feilin girl from yesterday and get him to sell all the goods he brought. But doing so would truly only be for his own benefit.

To resolve the issues between the brother and sister, the first step is to help them understand each other.

If we can understand each other... huh?

Lin Ye suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Ya Xin: "I want to walk the Holy Path."

Upon hearing this, Horn Peak's expression immediately changed.

"Dr. Lin, what are you saying?"

"I said I'd like to walk the Holy Path," Lin Ye said, "the path that Chu Xue walked when she was competing for the title of Holy Maiden. Is that not allowed?"

Horn Peak immediately said, "Of course not..."

“It doesn’t seem like it’s impossible…” Cliffheart interrupted Horn Peak. “The Holy Path is only closed during the election of the Holy Maiden, right? It seems to be usable at other times, isn’t it, Grandpa Grin?”

Butler Green bowed slightly and replied, "Indeed, there is no such rule. Theoretically speaking, the Holy Road is only a Holy Road during the election of the Holy Maiden; at other times, it is just an ordinary road. However, the Holy Road has a special meaning in the eyes of the Sherag people, so even on ordinary days, very few people go up it."

“Look, look! You can go up there.” Ya Xin was eager to try. “I want to go and see too. I’ve never been to the Holy Road before.”

Lin Ye hadn't expected his suggestion to elicit such a strong response from Ya Xin. However, considering Ya Xin's adventurous nature, a rugged mountain path she'd never been to before certainly seemed to pique her interest. Lin Ye also noticed that when he mentioned wanting to go to the Holy Road, Chu Xue turned to look at him, her expression somewhat complicated.

However, Lin Ye knew that Chu Xue understood what he meant.

Lin Ye's idea was simple: since he couldn't get in touch with SilverAsh in the short term, he would try to start with Cliffheart. At least he needed to let Cliffheart know what kind of suffering her sister had endured; that was the most important thing.

However, Horn Peak still refused: "No, absolutely not. Even if there weren't such a rule, I can't go. Dr. Lin isn't a Sherag..."

“There’s no rule that non-Sherrags can’t go up there,” Cliffheart countered. “Grandpa Green also said that as long as it’s not during the election for Saintess, there’s only one ordinary path on the Holy Road, and everyone can go up it. Besides, I also want to see what kind of path my sister took to become Saintess.”

Horn Peak was speechless. He could naturally refute Lin Ye's request without any scruples, but he couldn't do the same to Cliff Heart.

At this moment, Chuxue, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke slowly: "Indeed, there is no saying that non-Seraghians cannot enter the Holy Road, but as the Holy Maiden of Seragh, I have an obligation to maintain the purity of the Holy Road."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Ye.

Lin Ye scratched his head: "Are you trying to say that I'm not pure enough?"

Chu Xue's eyes spoke volumes. However, she didn't harbor any unhealthy thoughts. Lin Ye could tell from her eyes that she didn't want Ya Xin to enter the Holy Path, just as she had told Lin Ye last night, hoping that Ya Xin could live a carefree life forever. But she couldn't directly refuse Ya Xin, so she could only indirectly express her attitude by refusing Lin Ye.

But Lin Ye was unwilling to give up so easily and asked directly, "How can I prove my purity?"
