Chapter: 1325 (1/2)
AST 1325 – Longeitivity Noodles, The members of the Pang Clan are here, Pang Shitu, Accident
“To think that it is really treatable.” Sikong Tonglang looked at Qing Shui in shock. Right now, he had only recovered a little but this was just like a lamp shining in the darkest night. It had managed to guide him towards a desirable direction and showed him hope.
Old Man Sikong had actually also sensed it. Despite this, he found it a bit hard to believe. With Sikong Clan’s family background, it was easy for them to look for the best doctors and alchemists, yet none of them had proven to be capable of treating such illness.
“Old man, we will bid our farewell first. I will come here every two days to help treat him. If everything goes well, I can guarantee that he will be back to normal within half a month,” Qing Shui stood up and said with a smile.
“I have already finished setting up the banquet. No matter what, you two must stay today. I have found almost every famous doctor around here but only now did I notice that there are a lot of people with unearned reputations. I am going to leave the matters regarding Tonglang to you two miraculous doctors.” Old Man Sikong was very friendly with Qing Shui and Soulsearch.
“Old man, we still have other things we need to do today. Someone is still waiting for us to save their lives. Let’s wait until we totally cure Tonglang’s illness first. By then, we will have a drink together, how do you feel about that?”
Since words had been spoken up to this point, Old Man Sikong could no longer stop Qing Shui. He reluctantly let go of both of their hands and said with a smile, “Alright then, we have made a deal with each other. We must drink together once Tonglang is cured.
“Alright, we will definitely do that!”
……
They visited quite a few clans within a day. These clans all had special patients in their houses. All these patients were very important, at the same time, they were also patients who needed urgent treatment. Qing Shui managed to make a few connections while helping them cure their illnesses. More importantly, Qing Shui’s medical expertise had also been passed down throughout the area.
At the same time, Qing Shui’s reputation has also been passed down along with his medical expertise. Of course, that also included the Jade Steamed Buns and wines.
Unfortunately, the grudge Qing Shui and Pang Clan harbored against each other was circulated around as well.
Pang Clan!
Pang De was drinking his wine. There was a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar standing in front of him. That man gave people an impression that he was a very profound and mysterious man.
“Brother Pang, how are you planning to deal with the brat? That brat will definitely evolve into a frightening existence in the future if you continue letting him do as he pleases. He is a doctor. If this goes on, within less than a year, he will definitely be a very influential character.” The middle-aged scholar took up the wine cup and took a sip of the wine.
“In three days, I plan to eliminate him no matter what it takes,” Pang De said firmly after hesitating for a while.
“You sure?”
“Yi He, is anything wrong?”
“I keep on having the feeling that there is no point doing this to just a doctor. It just doesn’t seem worth it,” the middle-aged scholar who went by the name Yi He said while looking at Pang De.
“The words have already come out of my mouth. I can’t afford to embarrass Pang Clan. Besides, he may have been just a doctor, even if he may be able to achieve great things in the future, killing him now is just as easy as squeezing an ant to death.” Pang De’s killing intention was very firm.
A trace of disappointment flashed across the eyes of the middle-aged scholar. Nevertheless, he didn’t express it. On the contrary, he continued to drink alcohol with Pang De.
……
Puyang Clan.
“Grandpa, were you looking for me?”
A mature middle-aged man said with a smile while approaching Old Man Puyang’s courtyard.
“Honghu, there is finally hope for Zhengming to stay alive. But it seems we have got trouble these few days. The person going by the name Qing Shui from Imperial Cuisine Hall is able to save her, it’s just that it seems Pang Clan is plotting something against him. Please help pay close attention to him in secret and save him when necessary,” Old Man Puyang said with a smile.
“Grandpa, don’t worry, since there is someone who is able to save Zhengming, Puyang Clan will definitely protect him,” Puyang Honghu said joyfully.
Zhengming had the same pronunciation as fighting for life. It was the name of the little brat which Old Man Puyang was with the other day. It meant for her to fight for her life from god.
……
At the same time, Sikong Clan, along with a few other clans, seemed to have made the same move. At least they were all planning to get into the good graces of Qing Shui.
As soon as Qing Shui returned to Imperial Cuisine Hall, he immediately went into the realm. Today, he started fiddling with the Longevity Noodle.
Even though there wasn’t a lot of Longevity Fish, the quantity was considered somewhat valuable. It’s also already enough to be used. The reason being that he still had the crystals produced by the Crystal Lion. This way, it would have been enough for the Longevity Fish to slowly merge with the bits of the crystal.
The Jade Steamed Buns had finally become popular. Furthermore, its popularity was still increasing. Now, people found whoever managed to eat the buns from Imperial Cuisine Hall as a kind of identity and pride. It had already managed to achieve these within just a few days time. It was also this that triggered Pang Clan to stalk them. Causing Pang Clan to come up with the intention to conquer Imperial Cuisine Hall.
It had only been a day and there were already more customers on the fourth floor of Imperial Cuisine Hall. His position had also gotten a lot higher compared to before. In an instant, he helped significantly raise up level of Imperial Cuisine Hall. The people who left prior to this all felt regretful to the point even their intestines turned green.
Simultaneously, Pang De was also the other one feeling regretful. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have mentioned the three day limit. Even though it had only been one day, he already knew that Qing Shui wouldn’t come. It was already impossible for Pang Clan to get him into the Pang Clan. So long as he refused to join them, there would definitely be people coming out to support him now.
But the Pang Clan couldn’t throw away their own face. Back then, they had already made their words very clear. How could they patch things back up at this time? They could only hope that others wouldn’t act on the matter on that day. Or rather, they could choose to use softer methods when they acted. This way, they might just be able to keep their face.
Unknowingly, Pang De has started feeling unconfident with himself.
