C247 Remodeling of meridian (1/2)
It was already deep into the night, and the current Linhai was in a state of harmony.
Inside the Linhai, Old Man Xue Qingming was not able to fall asleep. At this moment, Old Xue was seated in his courtyard hesitantly, occasionally letting out a long sigh.
At the moment, Xue Qingming who rarely drank wine was on the stone bench warming a jug, drinking by himself under the moonlight. His bitter brow seemed to be filled with endless thoughts.
After an unknown amount of time, a figure wearing pajamas charmingly walked out from the entrance. Under the moonlight, the scattered long hair looked pitch-black and translucent. After staring blankly for a long time with his loose and sleepy eyes, he then slowly walked forward and behind Xue Qingming.
”Grandfather, what time is it? Why aren't you resting?” Xue Ningshuang said with a reproach.
Xue Qingming forced out a smile, then coughed to cover his embarrassment: ”Ning Shuang, you should go rest first. Grandfather won't be able to fall asleep, come out and sit!”
Xue Ningshuang replied, seeing that the old man was in a bad mood, she did not speak further, but sat beside Xue Qingming, quietly accompanying the old man. It was just like how the old man would tell him stories and coax him to sleep at night when she was still a child.
Xue Qingming glanced at his obedient granddaughter and laughed.
Raising the wine cup by his side, Xue Qingming finished it in one gulp. The burning sensation couldn't help but burn Xue Qingming's throat.
”Grandfather, drink less. Drinking is bad for your health!” Xue Ningshuang reminded him in a petty manner, but she did not snatch the wine cup from Xue Qingming's hands.
Xue Qingming laughed bitterly for a while, and then became silent. After a long while, Xue Qingming raised his head to look at Hao Yue who was still in the air, and asked: ”Ning Shuang, do you think grandfather is a qualified doctor?”
Xue Ningshuang was startled, and puzzled for a long time.
In Xue Ningshuang's memories, Xue Qingming had always considered himself to be a genius doctor. Xue Ningshuang never thought that her grandfather, who was so conceited, would actually doubt him one day.
With a mischievous smile, Xue Ningshuang hurriedly asked: ”Grandfather, what's wrong with you today? Why did you suddenly become so sentimental?” Pausing, Xue Ningshuang continued: ”Of course you are a doctor, and a divine doctor at that. Even if you don't have a thousand people, you should at least have eight hundred! ”
Xue Qingming laughed bitterly, ”That's right. Grandfather has saved countless lives. But Frost, your grandfather can only heal their physical ailments, but not their internal injuries. ” As he said that, Xue Qingming self-deprecated, ”Godly Doctor, Godly Doctor, even Godly Doctor can't save someone who seeks death wholeheartedly!”
It was obvious that Xue Qingming was still brooding over Yang Jun's matter. From the perspective of a doctor, Xue Qingming using the divine needles on Yang Jun was undoubtedly asking for his life, but since there was nothing Xue Qingming could do about his request, he could only watch as Yang Jun went to his death. This dilemma made Xue Qingming feel extremely uncomfortable. It was as if Xue Qingming had already felt that his actions today had deviated from the path of a doctor, which was why he raised such a question.
Of course, Xue Ningshuang did not have such complicated feelings.
Although she did not understand, Xue Ningshuang was still quietly accompanying her grandfather. It was as if this was the only thing she could do at the moment.
”Sigh!” Sighing again, Xue Qingming poured himself a cup of wine.
However, just as Xue Qingming was raising his cup, the old man's eyes lit up. He glanced at the high wall of his house not far away, raised his dantian, and roared out with true energy: ”Which master is visiting my Xue’s Mansion in the middle of the night? Please show yourself!”
Xue Qingming's shout startled Xue Ningshuang. Only then did Xue Ningshuang come back to her senses, and she thought to herself: So grandfather was waiting for someone this late?
When he mentioned the others, Xue Ningshuang's heart immediately trembled. After all, the impression Gui Shou left on him a few days ago was just too deep. What if another enemy appeared tonight? He wasn't always so lucky to have Ye Qian to help him.
Naturally, when she thought of Ye Qian, Xue Ningshuang's beautiful face flushed red, followed by a burst of anger. She chided in her heart: What is that damned scoundrel doing over the past few days?
Just as Xue Ningshuang was thinking about spring, old man Xue Qingming activated her Qi and looked as if he was about to face a great enemy.
In the darkness, two figures flew past the high door of the Xue’s Mansion and landed straight in the middle of the Xue Family courtyard.
Old Man Xue Qingming hurriedly leaped in front of the two of them and struck out with his palm.
However, Xue Qingming's slap was easily blocked by the person who arrived, followed by a familiar laugh: ”Old Xue, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand. It's me, it's me!”
Xue Qingming was stunned for a moment. Then, he used the moonlight to see the person's appearance. That tall and slender figure, that handsome face, and those mischievous eyes … if it wasn't Ye Qian, who else could it be?
Just as Xue Qingming was about to greet Ye Qian, he heard a burst of teasing laughter by the side: ”Ye Qian, you brat, I told you to knock on the door, to knock on the door. You're not going to listen, you're not going to go along the main road, instead, you want to jump over the wall and come in.
Hearing Ye Qian's voice, Old Xue was surprised for a moment, but hearing this familiar voice, Old Xue was simply excited to the point of being unable to control himself.
Turning his head back to look at the youngster beside Ye Qian, Xue Qingming excitedly hugged onto his arms. ”Jun Zi, Jun Zi, you're fine, great, great!”
