Chapter 384 - Theres thunder! Thunder! (2/2)
“This…this…”
Zhao Ming Qing was completely overjoyed. “Teacher, there is thunder! Thunder!”
“F*ck!” Lin Fan was seething with rage. How was this even possible? But Lin Fan kept his cool, replying, “I know there is thunder.”
“Teacher, does this mean I get to be your disciple now?” Zhao Ming Qing asked, his face looking at him expectantly. In all his years, this was the fourth time he got this excited.
Lin Fan stood there and continued to observe the sky, unable to believe what just happened. This phenomenon also attracted the attention of a few other onlookers.
A promise was a promise, and he could not go back on it.
“Yes, you… You may be my disciple,” Lin Fan stuttered.
Zhao Ming Qing was elated beyond belief and was at a loss for words. “Teacher, don’t you worry. This is a grand event and I’ll let the whole Traditional Chinese Medicine community know that you have become my master and I’ll invite everyone that I know to my ceremony. However, I do know alot of people, so if you find this too much a hassle, we can figure out something a little simpler.”
Lin Fan looked at Zhao Ming Qing, still in a daze. “What do you mean by simpler? Now that you’re my disciple, everything must be done in broad daylight and everything must be grand. As long as your friend is in the same line of work, you have to invite them.”
Zhao Ming Qing nodded his head. “Alright, alright. Teacher, you don’t have to worry about that.”
Lin Fan still couldn’t get over the fact that there was thunder on such a clear day. “Alright, I’ll go back first. Once you’ve made the arrangements, look for me on Cloud Street.”
Lin Fan got into his car and drove off.
In the car, Lin Fan whipped out his phone. He frowned as he read the notifications page.
“Warning of imminent showers with thunderstorms today…”
Rain started to fall!
Not long after, it started to rain cats and dogs.
“F*ck, how could I not have seen this coming? This is my unlucky day!” Lin Fan shook his head helplessly. But at least, Lin Fan didn’t have any problems taking Zhao Ming Qing as his disciple Teaching someone without any basic foundational knowledge would just be a pain in the ass, but teaching an old Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner with a very solid foundational knowledge would be much more efficient and may even benefit society. It wasn’t too bad an option.
Since I’ve agreed already, I’ll just let it be.
As far as I am concerned, I don’t like students who were all action without any character, and Zhao Ming Qing was not one of them.
I have to let everyone know that I am the most awesome and legendary Master Lin!
As long as people had the impression that you were awesome and legendary, it wouldn’t matter if you did something stupid.
Back in the Ministry of Health.
Zhao Ming Qing Lao Mu were taking shelter from the rain. “Being someone’s disciple really isn’t an easy task.”
Mu Lao looked at Zhao Ming Qing concerned. “Elder Zhao, you’re already so old, and your Master is so young. If you let everyone know that he was your Master, wouldn’t it be bad for you?”
“What’s bad about that? Although Teacher is young, his skills and knowledge far surpass mine. Discipleship does not depend on age. If I chose not to do this just because of age, it would be a great loss to me.”
“What about your family? I don’t think they will agree with it, especially your sons and daughters,” Mu Lao said.
“Who cares if they agree or disagree with my decision. They can’t stop me, and if they do, I’ll break their legs,” Zhao Ming Qing said, his voice raised a little.
Mu Lao shook his head and laughed. “Alright. Such an expert at such a young age, it really isn’t easy. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it. Say, do you think the mysterious doctor from the Internet who everyone was going crazy about, could it be him…”
Zhao Ming Qing smiled at Mu Lao. “I’m not so sure. Anyway, I’ve got to go back and start to prepare for the ceremony, as well as invite all my friends and colleagues.”
Mu Lao couldn’t imagine what reactions and things would happen on the day itself…
