Chapter 109: Ashamed and Unable to Show Face
“Puff, puff …”
The old man’s body trembled as he sprayed out two mouthfuls of blood. Tang Xiu’s words had hit the deepest weakness in his heart. If he could, he really wanted to find a hole and drill himself into it, and never come out of the hole for a lifetime.
Finally, the old man did not answer Tang Xiu’s question as he left with swaggering footsteps under the contemptuous gaze of everyone’s eyes.
The surrounding onlookers now looked at Tang Xiu with blazing eyes at the moment. After all, with his ability, Tang Xiu was able to completely cure a strange illness countless famous doctors were unable to treat, even a Divine Doctor’s successor disciple was unable to achieve so.
“So damn amazing! I’m truly in awe and amazed! That Little Brother’s medical skill really opened my eyes. Never once have I ever seen such an amazingly skilled doctor!”
“He’s the incarnation of Hua Tuo! Mu Qingping and her daughter are famous in our medical community, even countless medical masters and gurus were unable to cure that girl. And now, such a young man was able to cure her. This is really like the rear waves of the ocean pushing the waves in front, as the young will replace the old!”
“Amazing! That was so damn amazing! Today, I was really too blind. How could I look down on someone else?! Today I’ve learned my share of the lesson, that we truly cannot judge others only by looking at their appearance, just like we cannot measure the depth of the sea with a pint pot.”
“We were too superficial. This young man is a genuine Divine Doctor. Truly there’s a heaven above the heaven, and this saying really doesn’t deceive me!”
“Heh, what was the name of that Divine Doctor’s successor disciple again?! Chu errr… what Xiong? Bah, he really has no ability! The way I see it, how could his Master Gui Jiànchou not kick him away?! And that old man before?! He was so cocky, arrogant, and acted so self-important, and the result? He slapped his own face and bang! The result so damn hurt, that he even didn’t dislike it, eh!?”
“Man, how I really want to hear that slapping sound to the face!”
“…”
In the crowd…
A bright smile was hung on Ouyang Lulu’s face as bright and colorful lights flashed from that beautiful pair of eyes of hers. She stared at Tang Xiu and was unwilling to leave him from her sight as the feeling she had that Tang Xiu was unfathomably deep, had increased again. But now, she could feel that she was also attracted to this arrogant fellow. She really wanted to unveil the curtain of mysteries that shrouded Tang Xiu, and look at him clearly and thoroughly.
She hesitated for a moment before she walked toward the high platform. When she was 7 or 8 meters away from Tang Xiu, she looked over and exclaimed, “Tang Xiu, let’s have dinner tonight.”
Tang Xiu turned around and was quite surprised when he saw Ouyang Lulu. He did not expect to meet her at the Medicinal Herbs Market. However, he had prepared to return to Star City tonight, so he shook his head and said,
“No, I don’t have time.”
A lot of men in the surrounding was attracted by Ouyang Lulu’s beautiful appearance and were heartbroken upon hearing Ouyang Lulu’s word to Tang Xiu. However, the refusal Tang Xiu gave made them stunned, leaving them staring blankly and stumped for words.
“Heavens!? Have I mistakenly understood? Did that guy just refuse a goddess’s invitation to dinner? Is he still a man?”
“I admit that they are an equal match, a genius coupled with a belle. But damn… isn’t that genius way too proud? How could he had such a cruel heart to refuse such a damn fine belle?”
“Jeez, he’s not a man!”
“How good is it if it were me who got invited by such a beauty?! Such a country calamity bringer beauty asking me to a dinner would make my life 2 years longer!”
“…”
Tang Xiu unable to understand those men’s words. What was so important of being a beauty? If a woman was beautiful, how could she have such privileges?
As deficient in social skills as he was, he could only secretly shake his head while taking the 500 year-old wild ginseng and looking at Mu Qingping, saying, “Can we talk privately?”
At this moment, Mu Qingping could not wait to stand up and send the offering to a deity-like Tang Xiu. And upon hearing Tang Xiu’s words, she quickly replied without hesitation, “Umm, is there anything you want to talk about?”
Tang Xiu said with a laugh, “I need to talk about your daughter ‘s physical condition.”
When Mu Qingping heard it, she suddenly misunderstood Tang Xiu’s meaning. She tensed up and hastily asked, “Y-young… Young Divine Doctor, has my daughter’s illness yet to bet cured completely?”
Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “If you don’t have any other arrangements, follow me! I promise that your daughter will definitely be fine as long as I’m present.”
“Ah, alright!”
Mu Qingping gently put her daughter on the ground. She pulled and hold her hand as they walked along Tang Xiu down the platform. Never once had she ever felt this happy in the last 2 or 3 years. But now, she was truly happy, even if it was only because she could hold her daughter’s hand and walk together.
On a high platform…
Frustration filled Ouyang Lulu’s heart at the moment. She secretly regretted her excessive impulse. She knew very well about his personality, but why did she invite him in front of the public?
But, even if she was rejected, she was not discouraged like before. Tang Xiu might be like a fortress, but she had the confidence to attack and capture it. And having a dinner together? It’s just only a way of countless means to befriend him.
