Chapter 52 The Theory of the Transsexual (1/2)

Ning Tao's embarrassed reaction seemed to make Lin Qinghua realize the ambiguity in his words. ”Er, I... I didn't mean that. I'm straight,” he explained hurriedly. ”I mean I know you're not a normal person. You are a practitioner, aren't you?”

Ning Tao nodded and admitted. The man in front of him was a new demon, not an ordinary person, so there was no need to cover up his identity as a practitioner. What was more, since Lin Qinghua had developed the pill of ancestor seeking, it was impossible for him not to know the existence of practitioners and demons in this world.

”Are those materials that you want for alchemy?”

Ning Tao nodded again and said, ”Yes, do you have any of them?”

”I just ran through your list,” Lin Qinghua replied. ”I've got at least a dozen you need, and I'll give them all to you.”

Ning Tao brightened up instantly and exclaimed, ”That's great. Hurry up to take me to have a look.”

”I have something to show you first,” stated Lin Qinghua. Then he went to his desk, opened a drawer, took out a piece of paper from it, and handed it to Ning Tao.

Ning Tao turned his eyes to the paper and saw a familiar line, reading, ”Go to the Big Bowl Village of Black Dragon Mountain on the night of the 15th day of this lunar month. Not leave without seeing each other.”

It was the same writing and content he had seen on the road.

The motorcycle rider wearing a bamboo hat naturally popped into Ning Tao's mind. He could not forget his pale green eyes.

”When did you get this note?” Ning Tao quickly collected his thoughts and asked.

”This morning,” Lin Qinghua replied. ”It was on my desk when I came into the office. I guess it came from the man who gave me the prescription and the spiritual soil. He seems to want to see me. I'd like to, but I'm a little scared, so I want to ask your advice.”

Ning Tao pondered for a moment before responding, ”You cannot get away with this. I will accompany you to meet him the evening of the 15th day of this lunar month. I want to meet that man, too, and see who he is.”

”That would be wonderful. I don't get scared when you go with me,” Lin Qinghua cried, looking quite happy.

”Now show me the materials,” Ning Tao urged.

As he finished this sentence, Lin Qinghua fell to his knees in front of him.

”What are you doing?” exclaimed Ning Tao in surprise.

”I want you to be my teacher,” Lin Qinghua popped out. ”I also want to be a practitioner!”

Ning Tao was taken aback.

Lin Qinghua stated earnestly, ”I've discovered a new world through this event, and I feel that what I learned is so trivial and even childish. I want to be a practitioner like you. Please to be my teacher.”

With that, Lin Qinghua began to kowtow.

Ning Tao hastened to reach over and stop him. ”Get up first.”

”You agree to be my teacher?” Lin Qinghua asked, looking thrilled.

To his disappointment, Ning Tao shook his head and said, ”No, I don't accept apprentices. You're not going my way, so I can't teach you. But if you need help, I can help you.”

”But...” Lin Qinghua was very upset and wanted to continue to beg Ning Tao.

Ning Tao helped him up and said, ”I can't be your teacher, but we can be friends.”

As a born go-between of good and evil and the owner of the Sky Clinic, how could he accept a new demon as his disciple? In fact, he was unable to accept anyone as his disciple, because his cultivation method and the alchemy were based on his innate ability as a go-between of good and evil. Without this foundation, even a genius could do nothing.

Lin Qinghua heaved a sigh. ”All right. I now take you to see those medicinal materials.”

At this moment, Lin Qingyu opened the door with a cup of tea and warmly greeted, ”Tao, I made you a cup of pu-er tea. Try my tea art.”

Ning Tao took the tea and politely replied, ”Thank you.”

Lin Qinghua smiled and asked, ”You didn't make a cup of tea for me?”

”You asked me to make a cup of tea for Tao, didn't you?” Lin Qingyu asked back in surprise.

Lin Qinghua shrugged and said, ”Now I understand what it means for girls to lean toward outsiders. Well, too bad for me. Tao, you stay here and try my sister's tea art, and I'll go to the storeroom and get the materials.”

Ning Tao wanted to go with him, but he was still holding the tea that Lin Qingyu had just brought, and it was a bit rude of him not to drink. So, he had to agree, ”Okay, I'll wait for you here.”

”Sit down, don't keep standing. Put the cup on the table and be careful not to burn your hands on it,” Lin Qingyu said.

Ning Tao put the cup on the tea table and then sat down on the couch. As soon as he sat down, Lin Qingyu joined him. His eyes fell on her long legs like a bee drawn by flowers. The blue miniskirt covered only a third of her thighs, and she didn't wear stockings, so he clearly saw that her skin was as white and delicate as a jade. Besides, her legs were nice and well-proportioned at the level of a leg model.

The leg was a woman's second face. Obviously, Lin Qingyu's second face was also gorgeous.

Aware that Ning Tao was looking at her out of the corner of his eye, Lin Qingyu unconsciously pressed her legs together. The skirt she wore today was so short that her underwear would be exposed easily. Actually, she didn't usually wear such a short skirt, but she wore it today.

”Well, what were you talking about with my brother?” Lin Qingyu broke the awkward silence between them.

Ning Tao looked away, still feeling a little uncomfortable. ”Er... we talked about something about herbs.”

”You haven't told me why my phone was turned off for days.” Lin Qingyu curtly changed the subject.

Ning Tao, keeping his righteous face, replied, ”It's really because the phone was dead.”

”I don't believe it. You're lying to me. That's not what you told Jiang Hao, right?” There was something tentative in her words.

Why was Jiang Hao involved in this?

Ring, ring...

Ning Tao's cell phone suddenly rang. He took out it, looked at the screen and went speechless, because it was Jiang Hao calling.
