Chapter 235 (2/2)

Wanting to be an apprentice to study medical skills?

A strange expression was cast on Tang Xiu’s face. He did take some disciples, but those apprentices of his were learning cultivation from him. It was the first time someone asked him to be his apprentice just to learn medical skills!

Suddenly, his interest was piqued. He suddenly imagined his apprentice eventually becoming a prominent great figure in the medical field. The thought was really interesting.

Looking at Dai Xinyue’s elegant face, Tang Xiu nodded, “To be honest, I have never had any thoughts on receiving a disciple in this field. Alright. If I can cure Sun Wenjing’s mother, that will prove that my medical expertise is good. By that time, I’ll take you as a disciple and teach you my medical skills.”

Dai Xinyue, who was originally probing, was suddenly pleasantly surprised upon hearing his reply. “Thanks, teacher. I believe you’ll be able to do it.”

Waving his hand, Tang Xiu said, “No need to be that anxious to call me teacher. You still have to wait until I cure the patient before you address me like that. Also, the address should change.”

Changing the address?

“How should I address you as then?” Dai Xinyue asked curiously.

Tang Xiu said, “Master!”

Dai Xinyue’s eyes turned bright. She was so excited she almost jumped. As intelligent as she was, how could she have never heard the profound meaning of the word ‘Master’?

A person, especially from the modern era, might have many particular teachers; however, the number of Masters was but very few. To be a genuinely formal disciple to a Master, that meant that one would become a direct, successor disciple.

“Hurry up and finish your meal! We still have to give medical services in the afternoon.” Tang Xiu said with a smile.

In the evening.

Tang Xiu had just finished the consultation of the last patient. He hurriedly left the hospital, with Dai Xinyue tagged along like his shadow behind his back, rushing toward South Gate Town.

“Master, your family lives here?” Dai Zinyue’s face was full of shock as she visited the villa.

“You came inside with me. If this place wasn’t my home, someone would have already reported to the cops. Anyway, take a sit. I’ll get something first.” Tang Xiu said with a smile.

As he came to the second floor, Tang Xiu took the Body Refining Liquid he concocted before. He had learned about the conditions of the various cancers and the Body Refining Liquid definitely had a magical effect on the illness. While this liquid could strengthen the patient’s body, on the other hand, it could also exterminate the cancer cells inside the patient’s body.

However, the efficacy of Body Refining Liquid was rather too strong and not something ordinary people could withstand. Due to this reason, he needed to dilute the liquid, only then would he bring it to Sun Wenjing’s house. The silver needle he brought from the hospital would also be of great use as complementing silver needles with Body Refining Liquid would be more effective.

Back to the first floor, Tang Xiu then saw Gu Yin standing in front of Dai Xinyue with curiosity drawn on her face.

“Yinyin!” Tang Xiu called her.

Gu Yin turned around. As she saw Tang Xiu, she immediately ran over. Grabbing his hand, she said, “Master, she said that she’s also your disciple. Is it true?”

“She’s going to be! She hasn’t yet formally become a disciple, though. But I’m preparing to accept her as my disciple.” Said Tang Xiu.

“Are you going to teach her a cultivation technique too?” asked Gu Yin.

Tang Xiu shook his head, “No, she’s going to learn something different from you. She wants to learn medical knowledge, to become a great expert in traditional Chinese medicine in the future.”

“Master, the people I like the most are people who learn medicine. Being ill is very uncomfortable. And it’s a good deed being able to cure patients.” Gu Yi suddenly understood and said with a smile.

Having said that, she followed Tang Xiu in front of Dai Xinyue. Raising her small face, she said, “Big Sis, my name is Gu Yin. You can call me Yinyin later. Since we’re apprentice sisters and you’re my Junior Sister, you can tell me if someone bullies you. I’ll help you to vent back at them. Ah, right. I haven’t given you any gifts yet!”

“What?”

As surprised as she was, Dai Xinyue was dumbfounded, looking Gu Yin ran off. Her mouth twitched fiercely a few times. Why would she have to call that little girl call Senior Sister? What was this? A joke?

Tang Xiu serenely said, “What she said is right. You’ll be studying under me later than her, so it’s right that you’re only a Junior Sister. But since you have yet to officially acknowledge me as your Master, you still have a chance to withdraw.”

Dai Xinyue replied with a peculiar tone, “Master, just now she… Senior Sister said something about cultivation technique. What does it mean? Are you teaching different subjects to the both of us?”

“Yes. It’s different. You don’t need to ask what I teach your Senior Sister. If you perform well in the future, I’ll tell you, and perhaps I’ll teach you that subject as well. But if you don’t, then you can only learn medical skills from me.” With a calm expression, Tang Xiu replied.

While suppressing her curiosity, Dai Xinyue nodded, “I’ll bear it in mind, Master.”

Amidst the chatter, Gu Yin returned to the living room, holding a picture scroll in her hand and handing it over to Dai Xinyue, saying, “Junior Sister, I have nothing good to give you for now. But I’ll give you my own painting! Please don’t refuse it!”
