Chapter 419 - That’s a very difficult thing. (2/2)
Zhao Ming Qing smiled. “You can never find it elsewhere because there is only one such book in the world.”
Elder Mu sat there at smiled. He knew that Elder Zhao was doing this on purpose and he knew that Elder Zhou liked to read ancient books while seeking new knowledge. What Elder Zhao had done just now by turning his back was to purposely let Zhou Qing Quan have a peek at the book he was reading.
Once Zhou Qing Quan had seen that book, Elder Zhao would close the book and make him be attracted to it but not be able to see it.
“Why do you guys come to look for me now? There’s nothing else to do in Beijing?” Zhao Ming Qing asked.
Zhou Qing Quan immediately said, “Elder Zhao, that matter is different. The previous issue was our fault and what I want to know is whether you can lend me that book. Whatever requests you have, I will help you if it’s within my means.”
“You want to look at it?” Zhao Ming Qian smiled.
Zhou Qing Quan nodded. “Elder Zhao, isn’t that obvious? If I did not want to look, would I ask so much about it?”
“I can’t read it now and you won’t be able to read it too because my teacher gave it to me. This is his medical experience. If this was in the past, it would have been a treasured book. Also, there are many other things in this book. I read it for a few days and still have not finished it. It contains not only the description of various medical conditions but also the medicine to administer. The instructions are also very clear. In these few days, I’ve learned a lot.” Zhao Ming Qing sighed. He already said that Zhou Qing Quan couldn’t read it but still continued praising the book. He was causing Zhou Qing Quan’s heart to itch with desire.
“Elder Zhao, you are so cruel. We have had several decades of friendship but you won’t even help me with such a simple request?’ Zhou Qing Quan pestered Elder Zhao, making him frustrated.
Wang Tian Feng and the rest were also surprised. What had happened to Elder Zhou? They had come here to discuss with Elder Zhao, yet they were talking about something else instead.
Zhao Ming Qing waved his hand and said, “Elder Zhou, I’m not cruel. These are the rules. My teacher gave it to me, without his permission, I cannot allow you to read it. Also, I am not angry about that matter, I am not that petty.”
Zhou Qing Quan said anxiously, “Elder Zhao, then call your teacher and let me ask him personally. If I ask him personally, your teacher will agree. If you do not call now, it means you are doing this on purpose. Our decades of friendship will end here.”
Zhao Ming Qing looked at Zhou Qing Quan and shook his head helplessly. He took out his phone and dialed a number. “My teacher, Master Lin.”
Zhou Qing Quan nodded and took over the phone. At this moment, the call went through and he anxiously asked, “Is this Master Lin? This is Zhou Qing Quan, the director of the Chinese Medical Association. I am Zhao Ming Qing’s good friend. I would like to request to see the book that you gave to him. I would be eternally grateful.”
There was no response and Zhou Qing Quan asked softly, “Master Lin, are you there?”
Lin Fan asked, “Do I know you?”
Zhou Qing Quan was shocked. “Master Lin, you do not know me but I am very familiar with Elder Zhao.”
Lin Fan asked, “The sentence you said earlier, how did you arrive at that conclusion?”
Zhou Qing Quan could not understand what he was talking about and asked, “Are you Master Lin?”
“Sorry, you called the wrong number.”
Click!
The call was hung up.
Zhou Qing Quan was dumbfounded. “Elder Zhao…this…”
Zhao Ming Qing hid his laughter and said, “I do not know either, maybe I really called the wrong person. Let’s not talk about this first. What exactly are you all here for?”
Zhou Qing Quan knew that what he did was on purpose. “Initially, there was nothing but there’s something now.”
“What does that mean?” Zhao Ming Qing was puzzled. Why would there be something now?
“Elder Zhao, I want to see your teacher,” Zhou Qing Quan said seriously.
Zhao Ming Qing was shocked. Then, he laughed
You want to see my teacher? That’s a very difficult thing.
