Chapter: 1323 (2/2)

The person who came in was an old man. As soon as Soulsearch saw the old man, he rushed to him quickly, “Old Man Puyang, what have you come for?”

The old man was really friendly. He was holding a little girl. She should be around three or four years old. At most five years old, she shouldn’t be any older than that. She had very pale skin. The tiny pigtail on her head made her look particularly pretty. The two bright black eyes of hers looked just like crystals. When Qing Shui saw the little girl, he immediately remembered his own daughters.

Soulsearch was upset. Since when had Old Man Puyang turned into a customer of Imperial Cuisine Hall.

“Oh, you know me. That’s great, I have a friend who came to see me. He brought two Jade Buns with him. I ate one of them. After that, I gave another one to my little great granddaughter. After that, things just went out of control.”

The old man didn’t really say anything but he was very clear with what he meant.

“Old man Puyang, this is my little brother. He is many times more skill than me in terms of his medical expertise. That bun was also made by him. It’s just that he can only make very few every day because he doesn’t have too many of the required ingredients.” Soulsearch quickly introduced Qing Shui to the old man.

Soulsearch might have not said anything about Old Man Puyang or Puyang Clan, Qing Shui was already able to sense it from Soulsearch’s attitude. He was a powerful doctor. He wouldn’t really show respect to others. Even if it had been a normal warrior more powerful than him, he wouldn’t see them as anything significant. He was a doctor, he controlled the life and death of others.

But Soulsearch respected this old man deep down. Besides that, Qing Shui was unable to sense the old man’s strength. It was as deep as a boundless sea.

“You are indeed a promising young man. Little miraculous divine doctor, for someone who has huge ambition like you, you are bound to work on big things in the future. I wonder if the buns are all sold out today,” the old man asked a bit concerned. He then looked down at the little lass.

Soulsearch was just about to talk but he was soon interrupted by Qing Shui, “Thank you for your compliment. We still have some left. But you may have to wait a little for them.”

“It’s fine. Take your time. Well then, I think I will head downstairs to wait then to avoid bothering you.” The old man bid his farewell to Qing Shui. He was holding the little girl’s hand and was about to walk down.

“Heavenly Veins Wielder!”

Qing Shui looked at the little girl’s back and said slowly.

The old man suddenly turned his head around and looked at Qing Shui in surprise, “You really deserve the title of miracle doctor.”

The old man smiled the moment he finished speaking.After that, he proceeded downwards with the little lass.

“Brother, can you tell me about the background of this old man?” Qing Shui asked curiously.

“Puyang Clan is an existence which is not in the least inferior to Yehuang Clan. However, Puyang Clan has always kept a low profile. To think that the old man actually came for the Jade Buns. If the old man had come earlier, Pang De wouldn’t have dared to be so rude.” Soulsearch seemed to be feeling a bit regretful.

“There are not many people on the fourth floor. Let’s make an exception today and give out more buns. Whoever we manage to make stay behind are all the best customers in Imperial Cuisine Hall,” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“Yes, oh yes, little brother, what is a Heavenly Meridians Wielder?” Soulsearch asked confused.

“Someone without meridians!” Qing Shui said with a smile.

Soulsearch immediately stopped talking. This was a kind of extremely rare illness. It couldn’t be cured. Even medicinal pills like Bones of the Living Dead were futile against this kind of illness. The reason being that the patient had no meridians throughout her entire body. Originally, the Heavenly Meridians Wielders weren’t supposed to be able to live but because the little girl possessed a kind of qi within her muscles and bones and organs, she was able to stay alive.

“Little brother, is it curable?” Soulsearch looked at Qing Shui curiously.

“I can’t say for sure.” If Qing Shui didn’t have the Life and Death Needles, he would say no right away. But now, he somehow still had a little confidence in it.

…..

Very quickly, the Jade Buns were ready. Qing Shui carried the buns and proceeded downwards. However, he only carried those for the old man and little girl. There seemed to be a few more buns than usual today.

The old man quickly stood up when he saw Qing Shui carrying the buns down himself. Since the beginning, Qing Shui already knew that the old man wasn’t an arrogant old man. He spoke in a very formal tone, unlike Pang De, who was already arrogant and bossy just because he possessed a bit of strength.

“Sorry for the trouble, little miraculous doctor.” The old man revealed a warm smile.

“It’s not a hassle. The little lass is really cute.” Qing Shui smiled as he put down two plates on the desk.

“Thank you uncle!”

The little lass said happily. Maybe it was not him that she was happy to see, she was happy because she saw the buns. Qing Shui was able to tell at least this bit.

“Old man, why don’t you try it? If you like it, I will give some to you every day. That way, you also will no longer have to take the little lass here everyday.”

“This place is quite noisy. Conveniently, I can get to relieve my boredom. I really want to try to satisfy the little lass with whatever she wants.” The old man looked at the little lass. He loved her dearly. Besides that, there also seemed to be a trace of reluctance in his eyes to part with her.

“How about this, old man, in a few days, I will try to see if I can help her, how’s that sound?” The reason why Qing Shui wanted to cure the little girl wasn’t because she was a member of Puyang Clan. Even if it was someone from a normal family background, he would also try to save them. Qing Shui would never set his motives on things like that.

“Little miraculous doctor, can you cure her?” Old Man Puyang’s body trembled as he looked towards Qing Shui.

“I can’t say that I am a 100% able to cure her. But at least I can guarantee keeping her alive.”

“This is great, this little lass’s father and mother have been gone ever since she was born. When I first saw her she was crying. Even though we were a few generations apart the moment I saw her I hugged her and she stopped. That only worked for me. She would still cry when others did it. I never expected her to even be a Heavenly Meridian Wielder. Hence, she is living by relying on my Origin Qi. Following her slowly growing up, it is becoming very difficult for me to continue on like this.” Old Man Puyang sounded very agitated.
