In the clinic, Yan Ling does feel better after drinking the medicine soup.
“I tell you, student, although cold is a minor disease, the problem is that it takes a long time to recover.” Mu Qingqiu says while playing with the things in his hand.
Yan Ling knows that Mu Qingqiu should have more to say, so she doesn’t interrupt but sits there, listening quietly. Yan Ling feels much better after taking her medicine, but she feels more dizzy and sleepy.
As expected, Mu Qingqiu continues after finding the tools he is going to use: “but it is only the usual way. If it’s supplemented with the unique acupuncture developed by me, it can be cured soon. But the process is more painful, and you have to bear it.”
As Mu Qingqiu says, he puts all the things in his hand on the table. For the first time, Yan Ling sees such a complete set of acupuncture tools and she feels curious.
“These needles don’t seem to be the same as what I usually see?” Yan Ling looks at them and says with a little uncertainty.
Yan Ling has never experienced acupuncture, but she has seen some. The needles here seem to be thinner and longer than usual.
“Indeed. You’re a pretty smart girl. As I said just now, this is my unique method which is not the same as other acupuncture.” Mu Qingqiu says with a little pride as if he is finally recognized by others.
“Well, from now on you will be my student. I will teach you these things gradually. I think you have good qualifications. You should be able to learn quickly.” Mu Qingqiu arranges things one by one while chatting with Yan Ling.
Yan Ling nods. In fact, she is very interested in medicine and has read many books about pharmacology before. Although she doesn’t know how to treat patients, she can still remember a lot of herbs and their functions.
Yan Ling doesn’t plan to have a teacher casually. This decision has been made with a thorough consideration.
On the one hand, Yan Ling is interested in medicine. On the other hand, the knowledge about how to cure diseases and save people is very useful. And it will benefit her a lot in the future if she learns more about pharmacology.
“Shifu, you haven’t told me who you are. Although this clinic is very small, in my opinion, you could not be an ordinary doctor.” Yan Ling asks curiously.
Mu Qingqiu raises his head, looks at Yan Ling and says, “So, hurry to explore my identity, little girl! Definitely, I’m not an ordinary person, or you won’t want to call me ‘Shifu’.”
Yan Ling thought maybe he wouldn’t notice it if she asked casually when they were chatting. But she didn’t expect that she would be immediately seen through. Therefore, she is a little embarrassed and doesn’t know what to say.
But it seems that Mu Qingqiu doesn’t care about it. He continues to say with a smile: “it’s not urgent. There will be opportunities in the future. We still have a lot of time to be teacher and student. After this period of time, maybe I will take you back to the mountain to have a look. ”
Although Yan Ling doesn’t understand what Mu Qingqiu said about “go back to the mountain to have a look”, she doesn’t ask because of the embarrassment.
When Liang He comes back with a good ebony table, only Mu Qingqiu sits in the clinic, and Yan Ling is missing.
“Where is Ling’er?” Asks Liang He, frowning.
Mu Qingqiu first runs to the new ebony table and checks its quality carefully. He smiles and nods when he finds it’s satisfactory, then turns to look at Liang He.
“She is OK and asleep now. She should be a little uncomfortable. Get her some water to wipe her face or something.” Mu Qingqiu orders Liang He righteously.
Mu Qingqiu now really thinks that his new student is good. Yan Ling has never been treated with this kind of acupuncture before, so she will be in great pain for the first time.
But, Yan Ling gritted her teeth and didn’t groan from the beginning to the end. At first, Mu Qingqiu thought Yan Ling would be a delicate young lady because she was a little frail and whether it was correct to decide to take her as his student.
However, Yan Ling’s performance just now really surprised him and at the same time, relieved him, too.
Liang He was also busy all afternoon. It is inevitable that he is a little angry when he is ordered to do things after he just came back. However, it is related to Yan Ling after all. Of course, Liang He will do it anyway, but he will inevitably have some complaints.
“You are hesitant when I asked you to do such a little thing. I haven’t heard that the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister is married. Why can’t you do something for her now that you’ve taken advantage of this girl?” Mu Qingqiu knows what Liang He is thinking about, but provokes him intentionally.
“You’ve been pestering her all day. I may have guessed your identity. Even if you are the Crown Prince, you are treated the same way here. Don’t expect me to have a good attitude towards you.” Mu Qingqiu leans on a chair and says very casually.
Liang He is afraid that he would hurt him if he stays longer, so he ignores him, snorts coldly, and goes away.
However, Mu Qingqiu does not plan to stop. Looking at the back of Liang He, he mutters in a low voice: “what’s more, you need to call me Shifu now.”
Although Liang He is distant from him now, he has been practicing martial arts for a lot of years, so his hearing is much more sensitive than that of ordinary people. So naturally he heard what Mu Qingqiu said without missing a word and Liang He’s face becomes even darker immediately.
Ebony is a kind of hard wood. In the morning, Liang He broke off a corner of the table with his bare hands, from which we can see how angry Liang He is.
It seems that for a long time Mu Qingqiu is the only person who could easily provoke Liang He with mere words.
Even as for Liang Yi, Liang He could not stop his anger only when he does something bad to Yan Ling. How could he be like now?
Even Liang He himself feels that Mu Qingqiu is the one sent by God to restrain him. What’s more, it’s clear that Mu Qingqiu dares to do that by taking advantage of his advanced age.
Furthermore, in order to maintain his image and his good feeling in Yan Ling’s heart, Liang He has to tolerate him. He is really the only person who can make the Crown Prince so angry and embarrassed.
“I definitely will find out who you really are.” Looking at the arrangement in the backyard, Liang He becomes more alert.
Although Liang He doesn’t show anything, he is really surprised. If Liang He is not mistaken, the layout of this courtyard is completely in line with a kind of array.
