49 Do You Believe Me? (1/2)
The youngster's gaze was like the moonlight at night—cold, edgy, and had the nonchalance and underestimation of someone looking down from above. It was enough to make Physician Xie's blood boil. Without much thinking, he hollered, ”Wow! Great! You really won't cry until you see the coffin!
”I shall make a bet with you: if you can cure this young man, I—Xie Chongming—will kowtow to you three times and acknowledge you as my teacher. However, if you can't cure him, then you'll follow me to the Department of Justice and obediently accept the serious punishment of imposing a physician! Kid, do you dare to accept the bet?”
He Xi raised her brows and said in a seemingly laughing manner, ”You can forget about getting me as your teacher. Even if you're willing to acknowledge me as your teacher, I don't want an old and ugly student like you! If you lose, you can just kowtow three times.”
”You…! You…!”
Physician Xie was fuming with anger and could not wait to instantly rush over and break the young man's thin neck apart.
However, why would He Xi bother with him? She just looked at the girl coldly, ”I promise I will try my best to treat your brother. I have eighty percent confidence that he will fully recover, but all treatments have their risks. Are… you willing to believe me?”
The girl raised her head and looked at He Xi dumbly. In that pair of clear eyes, a purple light was glowing at some point as if it was the prettiest light she had seen in the darkest part of the forest.
As if she saw a demon, there was no doubt or suspicion in her heart as she slowly nodded.
The girl's agreement made He Xi heave a sigh of relief. She asked Shopkeeper Zhou for help and carried the young man into Sheng De Pharmacy's hall, placing him on a table that was as long as a person.
Physician Xie and Shopkeeper Qin also followed along with an icy face. They must personally witness how this shameless kid's lie would be exposed and his humiliation.
In Sheng De Pharmacy's hall, there were crowds of curious onlookers circling the center.
