Chapter 384: There’s thunder! Thunder!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
‘Xiao Wang’ was an affectionate term that only Zhao Ming Qing used. Everyone else referred to him as ‘President Wang’. This was because Xiao Wang was Zhao Ming Qing’s student, and he had the position only because of Zhao Ming Qing’s connections despite being so young. If it weren’t for Zhao Ming Qing’s, he wouldn’t be where he was today.
With the president around, the certificate wouldn’t have been a problem at all. After calling up the relevant departments, the certificate finally reached Lin Fan’s hands. Although it was just a piece of paper, it meant alot more to Lin Fan.
Sighs of relief.
Lin Fan arranged the papers neatly and got ready to leave the place.
Xiao Wang wanted to ask Zhao Ming Qing a few questions but realized that Zhao Ming Qing had already gotten ready to leave the place with Lin Fan. Till now, he still didn’t know what was going on and who the young lad was, and why Elder Zhao would call him Teacher.
Forget it. This was Elder Zhao’s business. I would just come off as annoying if I probe too much into this.
Outside the Ministry of Health.
“Teacher, are you satisfied with this?” Zhao Ming Qing asked, his face full of glee.
Lin Fan nodded. “Indeed, I am. I am impressed with the efficiency of the Ministry of Health.”
“When do I formally become your disciple? This needs a huge ceremony!” Zhao Ming Qing said excitedly.
Lin Fan nodded. “Yep, that’s for sure. Becoming someone’s disciple is a grand occasion.”
Zhao Ming Qing was on cloud nine. He finally found someone to teach him the true art of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and he promised himself that he would work harder than ever to complete learn from Master Lin.
“Teacher, when will my discipleship start?”
Now that the certificate was completed, he felt more comfortable. As far as the discipleship was concerned, he still had to wait, to find the right time to bring it up, otherwise, all of these would go to waste.
“This issue isn’t urgent, let me think for awhile,” Lin Fan waved him away, saying.
Zhao Ming Qing was getting a little worried. “Teacher, didn’t you say just now that you’ll accept me as your disciple once I’ve settled your certificate?”
Lin Fan paused for a moment, before looking at Zhao Ming Qing. “Who said that? I said just now that I would consider. Furthermore, you dare to contradict me even when you haven’t become my disciple yet. Imagine what will happen next time when you learn even more things from me!”
Zhao Ming Qing immediately put his hands together. “Teacher, I did not. Can I know when will you consider?”
Lin Fan gestured towards the sky, causing Zhao Ming Qing to look at him in confusion. “Teacher, what is the meaning of that?”
“Look at the sky,” Lin Fan said calmly.
“Teacher, what is the meaning of that?” Zhao Ming Qing asked, confuddled.
Lin Fan tilted his head skyward. “If it is today, let there be thunder, signifying that it is the Heaven’s will for you to be my disciple. If there is no lightning, then we’ll have to wait for the next time. Let me consider in the meantime.”
Zhao Ming Qing tilted his head and looked at the sky, which was clear, azure blue, the sun hanging at the center of the sky. There wasn’t a single dark cloud.
Mu Lao looked upwards as well. “The sky looks so clear. It doesn’t look like there is going to be any lightning.”
Lin Fan chuckled to himself. If there were an actual lightning bolt, it was as good as seeing a ghost. Don’t you get it? This is my attempt at subtly letting you down.
The opportunity to become my disciple is over and gone. My own talent is superior! Do you think just anybody can be my disciple?
Suddenly!
Rumbling sounds!
Lin Fan was originally immensely proud of himself, but in that instant, he looked up, seeing a flash of lightning race across the sky.
