Chapter 27: Medical Center

Upon returning to the temple, Lin You didn’t take much of a break and immediately reported in. Thankfully, the temple was just as it had always been. After giving a brief summary of his training experience to the senior clerics, he resumed his duties as a temple cleric.

The responsibilities of a mid-level cleric were actually very straightforward, mainly divided into two parts: medical services and the Heavenly Canopy System^[1]. The temple operated a medical center where mid-level clerics took shifts to perform spiritual therapy using mental power.

This service was extremely popular. While some advocates of evidence-based medicine questioned the standardization and reliability of spiritual healing—since its effectiveness varied greatly from person to person—the medical center at the temple had built up a strong reputation for results. Especially for those with high mental sensitivity, the effects were remarkable. Compared to regular hospitals, many preferred to visit the temple’s clinic and receive therapy from clerics through spiritual power.

Lin You’s talent was exceptional. Technically, he had long been capable of performing the duties of a high-level cleric, but due to institutional restrictions, he still held the title of a mid-level cleric. This meant he had to take shifts at the medical station and monitor the Heavenly Canopy System, watching the screens for anomalies. However, because his capabilities were so outstanding, senior clerics would occasionally pull him in to assist during staff shortages, allowing him to connect directly to the Heavenly Canopy for hands-on maintenance.

Although Lin You wasn’t very good at socializing with strangers, his medical services were in high demand. Every time appointments opened up, they would be snatched up in seconds. There were even scalpers reselling slots at sky-high prices. Wealthy clients didn’t care about the cost—they paid without hesitation. Meanwhile, those without money could only queue up in hopes of getting a cancellation slot.

Patients with high mental sensitivity—usually A-class Alphas or Omegas—had a saying about Lin You’s spiritual power: “It’s like a breeze on a scorching summer day or an oasis in a parched desert—cool and soothing, calming the heat inside the body.”

This sensation came from the fact that Lin You’s spiritual power was not only strong, but also gentle and refined. When treating patients, he even had the capacity to help realign and soothe their spiritual power. His treatment didn’t just stop pain—it also eased emotions. In short, Lin You’s therapy was a comprehensive healing of both mind and body.

Since he’d been away at the academy for exchange training, Lin You hadn’t taken any shifts at the medical center for several months. But as soon as his name was put back on the schedule, appointments immediately filled up. Many who couldn’t get a slot simply camped outside his consulting room, hoping for an opening. In fact, there were even more people than usual.

Some nobles, curious about the future royal consort, saw this as a rare chance to meet him. They didn’t care if they were healthy—they paid exorbitant prices to scalpers just to secure an appointment and see Lin You in person.

As a result, even as midday break approached, Lin You still hadn’t cleared all his patients.

“Cleric Lin You, there are still more than thirty patients waiting outside—most of them didn’t get a registration number,” the assistant said helplessly. Whenever Lin You was on duty, the patient volume was simply too much to handle in the short three-hour shift.

“I’ll try to go faster,” Lin You replied. He wasn’t particularly emotional about it, nor did he care whether he was tired or not—he just wanted to help the patients feel better.

“It’s hard, honestly. Every patient wishes you’d spend more time with them,” the assistant sighed. They were all too familiar with these patients: they’d grumble about the long wait, only to want a longer consultation once it was their turn. Reality was: wait two hours, get seen for three minutes.

“Next,” the assistant called.

A well-dressed, luxuriously styled male Omega entered the room.

The assistant’s face darkened at the sight of him. You’ve got to be kidding me… Today’s already chaotic enough, and now this?

“Where are you feeling unwell?” Lin You asked.

“Greetings, Cleric. I’m Alec, the spouse of Vice Speaker Roger from the Upper Senate. I’m really delighted to finally meet you,” the Omega beamed.

“Where are you feeling unwell?” Lin You asked again, his face now so cold it could freeze water.

But the man didn’t seem to mind the icy expression at all.

“We’re hosting a flower-viewing tea party this weekend. It would be a great honor if you could attend. Here’s the invitation.” Alec pulled out a gold-embossed invitation card from his dainty handbag and placed it on the desk in front of Lin You.

The assistant couldn’t take it anymore. Unbelievable. He could clearly see that Lin You was already furious, and yet this “Senator’s spouse” seemed completely oblivious.

“Take your invitation and leave. This is not what medical hours are for.”

“Huh? Cleric, at least take a look. I’ve invited many of the city’s most—”

Before Alec could finish, he suddenly fell silent. He didn’t know why, but his whole body broke out in goosebumps. The atmosphere had turned overwhelmingly oppressive, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get another word out. All he wanted was to flee the room.

Lin You, on the other hand, remained expressionless, continuing to read the patient’s file.

The assistant quickly shoved the man out of the consultation room and stuffed the invitation back into his hands.

“Next,” he called immediately, not daring to waste another second of Lin You’s time.

After Alec left the consultation room, he found himself back to normal. That strange sensation of being suppressed and unable to speak felt like nothing more than a fleeting illusion. His expression soured.

That orphan—who does he think he is? Just got lucky with a strong gland and ended up matched with Sade. Acting all high and mighty… Doesn’t know how to appreciate kindness. Alec stormed off in a huff.

Inside, Lin You calmly continued treating patients, as if the earlier incident had never happened. He had already forgotten what that man even looked like. People who wasted medical resources like that weren’t worth a second thought.

His energy was limited, and he only focused on what mattered. There were still so many patients outside waiting for therapy.

“You can go rest. I’ll finish the remaining patients,” Lin You turned to say to the assistant.

“But…” The assistant looked hesitant. The medical system was about to shut down.

“I’ll just treat them outside. It doesn’t matter if the system logs anything or not—what matters is helping people recover. If a patient minds that, then they’re welcome to not get treated.” Lin You was firm.

So, the assistant clocked out, and the system shut down on time. He watched as Lin You quietly walked over to the waiting area and began organizing the patients into a line.

“Please don’t worry. I’ll make sure to see everyone,” Lin You told the crowd. He started with the severe cases and elderly patients first, then worked through the rest one by one…
