After obtaining permission, Lin Yifan pushed the door open and entered.
Just then, the Medicine Saint curiously inquired, "What do you seek?"
"Disciple wishes to make a trip," Lin Yifan answered.
"Where to?"
"The desert."
"What to do in the desert?" the Medicine Saint pressed on.
"To visit a friend," Lin Yifan replied.
Although he knew that the Medicine Saint was asking questions he already knew the answers to, he still played along, knowing the other would surely let him go.
As expected, the Medicine Saint readily agreed, "Permitted!"
"Master, aren't you afraid I'll run away?" Lin Yifan inquired.
"Why would you run? Have I not treated you well enough?" the Medicine Saint asked with a smile that was actually hiding a dagger.
He had disciples protecting Lin Yifan's family to keep Lin Yifan in check, so no matter what Lin Yifan did, he would obediently return, because Lin Yifan was a filial son.
"Disciple was just curious, Master, please don't mind."
