Chapter 330 - 330 Shifu
330 Shifu
Qin Xi could tell that the old lady was in a difficult position. She smiled and said, “Grandma, don’t feel pressure. As a doctor, it’s my duty to help. If you really feel bad, help me promote my clinic.”
The old lady’s eyes lit up. “Yes, yes, yes. The young divine doctor is right. We knew everyone in the old district. I’ll definitely bring you a lot of patients.”
“Then I have to thank you in advance for your help!”
After sending the two elders away, Qin Xi went upstairs to take a look.
As for the patients downstairs, they were basically all old people. They either had some rheumatism and bone pain, so Liu Dequan could handle it alone.
Moreover, he was immersed in making use of the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique. Even if Qin Xi wanted him to rest for a while, he felt that it was a waste of time.
Helpless, Qin Xi could only let him be.
Just as she reached the staircase and took a step up, someone shouted from the doorway, “May I know if my shifu is here?”
Hearing this voice, Qin Xi was slightly surprised. She turned around and saw Gao Huiren and his two assistants standing at the door, looking around. They also happened to see Qin Xi, who was about to go upstairs.
Gao Huiren’s expression changed drastically. He immediately took two steps forward and bowed to Qin Xi. “Shifu, I heard that you opened a clinic, so I specially came to deliver a congratulatory gift.”
As he spoke, he quickly waved at the two assistants behind him. The assistants understood and immediately opened a box. Inside was a ginseng that was at least 200 years old.
The ginseng was well-preserved. It was covered in a faint spiritual energy and luster.
Qin Xi originally felt uncomfortable when she heard the big shot call her shifu. However, when she saw this ginseng, she immediately revealed a shocked expression.
“Master Gao, you…”
Gao Huiren frowned and said, “Shifu, we agreed that as long as you treat my leg, I’ll acknowledge you as my shifu. Don’t tell me you want to go back on your word!”
Qin Xi’s eyelids twitched. “But I didn’t treat your leg!”
She just gave him some pointers and did not do anything.
“Besides, with your status… it won’t be good for you to call a green girl like me shifu. People will laugh at you.”
Qin Xi tried to convince him.
“What’s wrong with that? You’re my shifu no matter what.”
Gao Huiren immediately changed the topic and pointed at another box. “Shifu, take a look at this!”
As he spoke, the assistant quickly opened the second box. Inside was a top-grade jade.
The jade flickered with a lustrous light. It was the size of a fist.
The thing was good. It would be a lie to say that she was not tempted. However, if she accepted it just like that, it meant that she had accepted Gao Huiren as her disciple.
Seeing her hesitation, Gao Huiren knew what she was thinking. His eyes lit up, and his face immediately revealed a hint of disappointment.
“Shifu, it’s fine if you don’t want to acknowledge me. It’s my fault for not thinking carefully. No one will like an old man like me!”
Hearing this, not to mention Qin Xi, even the two assistants beside Gao Huiren were dumbfounded.
Uh… do you still remember your identity?
Clearly, Qin Xi was also dumbfounded by his words. She quickly smiled awkwardly. “Master Gao, you’re thinking too much. I…”
Before she could finish, Gao Huiren was overjoyed. “Then you agree? That’s great. By the way, shifu, don’t call me Master Gao. Just call me by my name.”
Without looking at Qin Xi’s dumbfounded expression, he immediately instructed his two assistants, “What are you two waiting for? Give it to my shifu!”
