Chapter 1120 - Searched by Someone Through the Internet (2/2)
“You wanna teach cultivation arts to your Tang clansmen, by chance?” Mu Wanying was surprised.
“Yup.” Tang Xiu nodded. “I can shelter the Tang Family for a decade or two, but I can’t shelter them forever, can I? You must, nevertheless, have a generation of outstanding talents if you want to make your clan stand up. Also, you should also make your own family get stronger, too. I’ll give you a set of cultivation arts if you want, you can then decide whom you’ll teach it to.”
Mu Wanying pondered for a moment before shaking her head. “It won’t work for the time being, though.”
“And why is that?” asked Tang Xiu curiously.
“That cultivation art is yours, and it must be practiced by your Tang clansmen to a certain degree first,” explained Mu Wanying. “Only then can I teach to the Mus, though to only a handful few of them. You don’t know much about House Mu, Tang Xiu. Although grandpa has made the entire family shaken, the good days are long gone after a long time passed, and some people’s minds are no longer pure. I won’t say about the rest, as you can see that even my Dad…”
Tang Xiu was relieved and looked at her with a sympathetic gaze. Only now did he suddenly realize that it wasn’t a bad thing that House Tang had been careful in the storms of social circles in Shanghai and Beijing. Without the oppression of House Yao and being a target from other families, the Tangs never would have united as one. They could’ve been ended up like House Mu with so many silk pants scions, which would make House Tang fall sooner or later.
“You’re a smart person, Wanying. You know what you can do and what you cannot, so you can treat it as you see fit.”
Mu Wanying smilingly nodded, then suddenly said, “Anyway, since you’re gonna stay in Shanghai for some days, might as well contact the patient who’s been looking for you. I think you can spare your time to treat the patient if they’re willing to come to Shanghai. I’m sure you can govern their illness given your medical skills.”
Tang Xiu gave it a thought and felt that her reasoning was sound, so he smiled and said, “Alright, find out the contact info of the other party. I’ll call the person and set the time myself.”
“Alrighty!”
She quickly activated her phone and found the said post on the internet, and then told Tang Xiu the cell number left by the person—which was directly called by Tang Xiu.
“Hello, I’m Li Cai. May I know whom I’m speaking to?” a crisp voice was heard from the phone.
“I’m Tang Xiu. Is it you who have been looking for me on the internet?” replied Tang Xiu.
“…”
The person on the phone was silent for a few seconds, and then said, “Are you really Divine Doctor Tang? Can you prove your identity? Please forgive me. It’s because I’ve been receiving many calls recently. Some people are sympathetic and made a call to ask about my mother’s conditions, but some were just trolling about, impersonating you and making my mother’s life and mine worse.”
“How about we do a video call, then?” said Tang Xiu after pondering for a moment.
“That’s great!” the person immediately gave a happy response.
Quickly after, Tang Xiu saw the other party’s face. She was a 16-years-old beautiful girl with very fair skin. Her eyes were especially very pure and very pretty.
“It’s really you, Mr. Tang?! This is great, so great! My mother is as good as saved already.” Li Cai, who lived in the Beihe Province’s capital, immediately looked happily surprised upon seeing Tang Xiu’s face through the video call.
“Well, can you tell me about your mother’s condition first?” asked Tang Xiu. “Also, I’m afraid you need to come to Shanghai if your mother really needs my treatment.”
“That’s not a problem. We’ll head there.”
Li Cai’s response was ecstatic. Then, she reported the condition of her mother, and finally asked with a look of expectation, “Divine Doctor Tang, c-can… you determine what kind of disease my mother is afflicted with?”
Tang Xiu was silent for a moment, then shook his head before nodding to her. “I’ve never seen the patient, so I have no way to determine the disease contracted by your mother However, I do have some guesses in mind. But if my guess is correct, then, she can still be treated.”
“I-if I get your meaning…. then, I… I’ll take Mom to Shanghai immediately, Divine Doctor Tang. Is this your cell number? Where should we be looking for you once we arrive in Shanghai?” asked Li Cai excitedly.
“It’s indeed my cell number,” answered Tang Xiu. “Also, phone me when you arrive in Shanghai. I’ll send someone to the airport to fetch you.”
“That’s great! Thank you, Divine Doctor Tang. You’re a good man!” said Li Cai with a grateful face.
“Treating the illness and saving a patient is what I should do. Well then, we’ll chat again the next time we meet,” said Tang Xiu smilingly.
Having said that, he directly hung up and then turned to look at Mu Wanying next to him. He saw her face who was about to speak something but hesitated. Then, he immediately asked, “What’s up? Is there something wrong?”
“Well, I’m just very curious.” Mu Wanying chuckled. “If you cure that person’s illness, I’m sure they will thank you very deeply. I thought you’d ask about it on the phone just now! After all, she’s been looking for you on the internet and has repeatedly mentioned that the thank you gift would be great.”
