Chapter: 1333 (2/2)

Qing Shui laughed, “Mr. Yao, you can’t you cure yourself?”

“No,” Yao Qubing replied sheepishly.

Many physicians face the common problem— they couldn’t treat themselves. No matter what sort of divine medical skills one had, one could not avoid death.

“You have a genetic heart deformity. Your heart functions poorly as it is only ⅘ the size of a normal person’s heart. You have to eat Saint’s Heart Fruit monthly to survive,” Qing Shui replied simply.

Soulsearch could also easily diagnose Yao Qubing’s condition but had no way of treating him. He might have learned the acupuncture techniques from Qing Shui but he did not have Nine Yang Force, Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique and Life and Death Needles. Along with other circumstance, he could only improve that man’s condition by 1% to 2%. Even so, that was already considered a great talent.

“Can you treat my condition, Mr Qing?” Yao Qubing wasn’t surprised. Since Qing Shui knew Soulsearch, it wasn’t weird for him to know about his condition. He was more concern about whether it was curable.

“If I told you I could treat your condition, what do you expect?” Qing Shui asked smiling.

“I hope that you would treat me.”

“Why should I do that?”

“If you do it, I will know how skillful you are. I would also be cured and I would promise to join Imperial Cuisine Hall,” Yao Qubing said a little eagerly. The condition must cause him quite a bit of suffering.

“Your abilities are not good enough to be a physician here in Imperial Cuisine Hall,” Qing Shui concluded shaking his head.

“But you haven’t tested me, why would you say that?” Yao Qubing asked in a daze with a changed expression.

“I already tested you but sadly you failed.” Qing Shui stood up and left after he said those words.

“Divine Physician Qing, list your conditions. What do i have to do before you would treat me?” Yao Qubing changed the way he called Qing Shui.

“I want half a Medical clan. Would you be able to give me that?” Qing Shui turned to look at Yao Qubing.

“I can’t give you that. I am nothing in my clan,” Yao Qubing answered dejected.

“Since you are nothing there, why do you aim to come to Imperial Cuisine Hall? Do you think that by you coming here, you are gracing our Imperial Cuisine Hall with your presence?” Qing Shui said slowly. He didn’t like that man from the start. That man was someone who didn’t know his place. He could tell that Yao Qubing’s main aim was to receive treatment. Perhaps he might stay after that but his heart was with his clan.

“Sir, please save me. I will work here for the rest of my life.” Yao Qubing kneeled down and begged. He knew that without treatment, Saint’s Heart Fruit could only sustain his life for less than ten years. If he died, it would all be over.

Qing Shui was not used to people kneeling before him. He shifted away and looked at Yao Qubing, “You still have about ten years to live. If I treat your condition, you have to work here for ten years first.”

Qing Shui won’t treat this man now, he would only do it in ten years. It was up to Yao Qubing to stay and believe Qing Shui’s capabilities. Yao Qubing changed his clothes into an Imperial Cuisine Hall attendance uniform. But he was basically a worker who could also act as a physician.

Qing Shui didn’t have other hidden agendas. Ten years was certainly enough to mend a person’s attitude. This was the man’s life. Originally, he could be a normal physician and receive a salary. Now, he was just an attendant but he probably didn’t know how the next ten years would change his life.

Soulsearch did not have any comments on Qing Shui’s decision.

“Brother, do you believe that in ten years, that Medical Clan will belong to him?” Qing Shui asked cheerily.

“Of course!” Soulsearch said with certainty.

……

Qing Shui watched the busy, prosperous street from the fifth floor window. He didn’t know when he would be able to act as he pleased. He never let his guard down. Even if he wanted to help Demon Lord and her Demon Lord Palace, he would need to reach the level of False God. Where was the palace that Yiye Jiange went to? Was it in the Five continents, Western Oxhe Continent or the Three Continents?

How powerful could Seven-headed Crystal Beast get and how powerful could Yiye Jiange become? He suddenly realized that it would be very difficult to meet her. As the potential in each of his women unfolded, he did not know how much time it would take for him to gather all of them again.

This was a crucial ten years for him. It was also a crucial decade for his children. It was also critical for all the members of his Qing Clan. Would he be able to achieve everything he wanted in the next ten years?

Knock Knock!

Soulsearch walked in and looked at Qing Shui, “Someone is looking for you. A person from Yehuang clan.”

Qing Shui was surprised to hear the words “Yehuang Clan”. It seemed like whatever he was trying to avoid would purposely present itself. This was faster than he expected. He nodded his head and walked out. He wanted to know why they had come and hopefully, they were not trying to cause any trouble for him.

Translator notes: Yao Qubing could be translated loosely as “illness ridding medicine”.
