Chapter 14 Troubling Zhang Jiao (2/2)

”You see, teacher Zhang. We visited young master Zhang yesterday and Shi'er took a liking to him. Now that Shi'er is about to become of age and young master Zhang is about the same age as Shi'er. Young master Tong also doesn't seem to have a fiancé yet ...”

'I figured as much, you wanted to give your daughter to Tong'er.' Zhang Jiao thought.

”How about it teacher Zhang. Don't you think that Shi'er is a good match for young master Zhang?”

Zhang Jiao chuckled in his heart. If Hua Tuo had made this offer in other day then he would have accepted it without thinking. However, there was an exception. No one could touch a single hair of his son today!

”This matter should be decided by the children themselves. It is their future we are talking about. We have no right to decide it for them.”

Zhang Jiao refused. His voice and stance was firm. His face also showed an indifferent attitude.

'Hmm?'

Hua Tuo was surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Jiao to refuse it.

Hua Tuo and Hua Shi didn't know about Tong's injury. So they didn't know why Zhang Jiao didn't take the bait.

But Hua Shi was delighted. She already checked her HUD map and saw Tong's location. She confirmed that the otherworlder was 100% Tong. When she heard that she didn't have to marry Tong anymore, she felt like a mountain was lift away from her chest.

”Then how about having Shi'er and young master Zhang talk to each other about his matter. Maybe they like each other but didn't have a chance to be alone together.” Hua Tuo attempted again.

But Zhang Jiao frown. This old fox was shameless, shoving his underage daughter to his son without caring. What kind of father was he?

”I'm afraid that it will be impossible for today. My son is currently resting. He had an accident last night and needed rest.”

'An accident?' Hua Tuo thought.

'Was it related to the Heavenly mission Shi'er was talking about?'

'She said that Zhang Tong fought with four other apostles and lived.'

'If that's true then he might have an injury. And Zhang Jiao is keeping it a secret.'

'Interesting.'Hua Tuo smiled in his heart.

”Shi'er, why don't you show teacher Zhang your magic?”

Hua Tuo decided to reveal his trump card. He wanted to shove his daughter into Tong's hand no matter what.

”Magic?” Zhang Jiao was surprised.

Hua Tuo glared at his daughter, gesturing her as if he was telling her 'Do it, or else'.

Hua Shi was helpless. She did what father told her to.

”[Medical Gift]”

Hua Shi activated her skill, scanning Zhang Jiao and his health. After the scanning was completed, she closed her eyes and digested the information which were poured into her brain.

Hua Shi opened her eyes and looked straight at Zhang Jiao, then pointed her finger at an empty plate on the table on the side of Zhang Jiao. Bright light shined from Hua Shi's index finger and beamed onto the plate, and two medicine pallets appeared out of thin air.

”This is my skill [Medical Gift], I can diagnosis an illness or an injury of a person and create medicines out of thin air or give you a treatment solution if the illness or the injury cannot be cured with medicines.”

Zhang Jiao's eyes opened wide in shock for a couple seconds before returning to normal. Zhang Jiao had seen Tong's abnormal constitution when he treated Tong, and he had seen many street parlor tricks before. So he didn't surprise much.

'Weird trick. But it looks real.' Zhang Jiao thought.

”Teacher Zhang, have you been suffering stomach ache three days ago?” Hua Shi asked.

”!? ... Yes.” Zhang Jiao nodded.

”Did you feel like you lost an appetite? You felt full even though you ate very little? Sometimes you felt nauseous before you had a meal? You felt burnt from the inside of your lower chest? You thought you need to go to the toilet but once you got there, nothing came out? You belched a lot yesterday? You …”

A series of diagnosis from Hua Shi went on and on. Zhang Jiao's eyes were opened wide again. Everything she said was spotted on!

Hua Tuo, who was beside his daughter, was surprised as well. He couldn't detect anything unusual from Zhang Jiao after an hour of chatting.

”What you are suffering right now is called 'gastric ulcers'. There's a small wound in your stomach. It was caused by teacher Zhang yourself for not properly had meal on time. Your stress and your over-drinking habits also contributed to the small wound.”

”Since the wound is still small and there is no infection yet, the treatment is simple. You can just swallow the medicines on the plate after a meal. I'll create more tablets for you. It should last you for a week. If you still feel pain or feel anything unusual, call me immediately.”

Zhang Jiao stared at Hua Shi, speechless. He couldn't digest the information. Everything seemed gibberish to him.

Then Zhang Jiao thought about his son's knee injury and his weird constitution. He suddenly had an inspiration.

”Teacher Hua, do you mind if I borrow your daughter to see my son for a while?”
