The Talented Doctor 60 No Longer Dependent On Nalan Residence

The man in red paused slightly after he finished talking. Then, he continued in a voice filled with mocking sarcasm, "This news will spread across the whole Jin Ling after today. I guess even the Physician a.s.sociation will not sit and do nothing about it. We are in a treat for a good show ahead. Yanan, who will have the upper hand in the end?"

Zhou Yanan dared not reply. The youth's fully focused side profile flashed before his eyes, and a worry welled inside him.

That was just a mortal without any cultivation! I wish he would be able to escape from this crisis unscathed.

…

Overnight, the news of a strange and beautiful mortal boy—who had healed patients with severed meridians in a new and unprecedented way—spread like wildfire to every corner of Yan Jing City.

Many people tried to inquire about the young miracle physician. Family clans such as the Nalan Residence who served as physicians for generations were especially anxious and eager to find him. Naturally, this happened later. All this while, Nalan Hexi—the person involved in the incident—had been clueless.

He Xi didn't return to her villa until it was dark, and she was under disguise as Xi Yue.

Wet Nurse Chen was startled to see her. Before she left, He Xi had Nalan Hexi's looks even though she had changed into a man's clothing and combed her hair into a bun like a man.

However, the wet nurse never thought she would return as a gorgeous-looking girl with skin as soft as snow after being gone for just a day. On top of that, she was still in a man's disguise. If she was to change into a woman's clothes…

He Xi saw the surprised look on Wet Nurse Chen's face. She had no choice but to explain herself with a lie. "I met Shopkeeper Zhou from Sheng De Pharmacy while I was outside today. He said I had jaundice because my body had acc.u.mulated too much toxin and impurity. He was kind enough to give me an elixir to cleanse my muscles and marrow. After I took it, I became like this."

Wet Nurse Chen was overjoyed at the unexpected good news. Her face was covered in tears as she touched He Xi's face. "Yes! Yes! This must be the effect after you've cleansed your muscles and marrow. Missy, you look like Madam now. No… no! You look so much more like Madam compared to last time. Trust me on this. You definitely regained your looks because you are cured of your illness. Shopkeeper Zhou from Sheng De Pharmacy is such a generous philanthropist. Missy, you must thank him well in the future."

He Xi was caught between laughter and tears, but she had to bear with it. She spent a long time pacifying the Wet Nurse Chen. "Wet Nurse, I bought ten slaves. Are they here already?" she finally asked.

Wet Nurse Chen regained her senses in an instant. She replied hurriedly and anxiously, "Missy, why did you buy the slaves? We don't even have a mouth of grain left in the villa. What if Nalan Residence still doesn't give us monthly allowance and food in the future? How are we going to survive?"

Wet Nurse Chen thought the slaves were here to seek revenge when they appeared at the doorstep this afternoon. She was so frightened that she almost fainted. However, once she heard that He Xi had bought them, the feeling quickly turned into an indescribable shock.

He Xi smiled as she took out a portion of food and spar from the ring safe. "You don't have to worry about the spar, Wet Nurse. I have gotten my well-deserved reward from the minion who has attempted to sell me away. In the future, we don't have to depend on Nalan Residence for financial support. Wet Nurse, can you call those ten slaves here?"

Wet Nurse Chen was worried and happy at the same time. She retreated with her heart full of suspicion. Soon, the ten slaves named A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I came to greet He Xi with respect written all over their faces.
