Chapter 1323
AST 1323 – Three Days time, Old man Puyang, Heavenly Meridians Wielders
Qing Shui’s attitude also stunned Pang De . He knew that people who were more capable than normal were usually very arrogant . When he looked at Qing Shui’s expression, he smiled . To be arrogant, you needed to have the assets to do so . Otherwise, the only thing you could do would be to behave more obediently .
“Let’s put it this way then . My Pang Clan really looks up to you . We are really eager to work together with you . This should be a good news for you . Why don’t you come visit Pang Clan with me? We will discuss the details together and we will definitely not mistreat you,” Pang De smiled and said confidently .
Pang Clan was an aristocratic clan . If a person got looked up by Pang Clan, that person was extremely lucky . Countless people had scratched their heads until they bled trying to work with Pang Clan . Hence, Pang De thought to himself that Qing Shui would definitely agree to the conditions he suggested .
Across this entire street, if Pang Clan wanted to work with a certain person, it was like saying that the person was really lucky . It was the person’s good fortune to be able to be looked up upon by Pang Clan . Unfortunately, Qing Shui was no ordinary person .
“I am sorry but I am not interested in working with you,” Qing Shui rejected formally .
Pang De has imagined a lot of scenarios, yet he never imagined that Qing Shui would reject his offer . Prior to this, he never mentioned letting Qing Shui work for Pang Clan . Instead, he suggested for them to work together . But in actuality, both of those had the same nature hidden within them .
Qing Shui had lived as a human for two lifetimes . Naturally, he would be able to see through the true motive lying behind matters like this . Hence, towards this kind of stuff, he would not hesitate to reject it . Pang Clan might have been powerful but it was impossible for the clan to send out their most powerful force regarding matters like this . Hence, he would slowly try to hold them back while conveniently trying to develop himself .
Strength . Only with strength would one not be bullied by others .
“You refuse to work with Pang Clan?” Pang De was still smiling very casually . But the eyes he used to look at Qing Shui had gotten sharp .
Qing Shui smiled . He looked at Pang De, “I have made myself really clear . I don’t like working with others . Do you still have other things you want to say? I am in a hurry . ”
“Do you believe that I can make the Imperial Cuisine Hall disappear?” Pang De smiled and asked .
“The things inside the Imperial Cuisine Hall aren’t that valuable . Heck, there isn’t even much stuff in it . It will be truly disappointing if Pang Clan does something like that . ” Originally, Qing Shui was supposed to have turned his body around . He turned his head back and smiled at Pang De .
Seeing that smile, Pang De was stunned . He saw the confident smile from the young man . That confidence of his actually made him panic . That was a kind of smile which indicated that he has had everything planned in advance, a kind of smile which showed that he feared nothing .
At the moment when Qing Shui finished speaking, he immediately made his way towards Imperial Cuisine Hall .
“It’s best for you to reconsider my offer . I will give you three days . Come look for me in Pang Clan once you have made up your mind . ” Pang De left after he finished speaking .
Quite a lot of people had crowded around this area . For a moment, there were many discussions going on about what had happened .
“Disaster is definitely going to befall Imperial Cuisine Hall this time . ”
“Why would he turn down such a good opportunity? I have always wanted to work with the Pang Clan . It’s just that they don’t fancy me . ”
“From the way the Imperial Cuisine Hall has been developing these few days, added to the fact that they have a miracle-working doctor to help look after them, it’s only natural for them to be targeted by others . It’s just that the Pang Clan has decided to make their move first . I reckon that very soon, other clans will start looking for Imperial Cuisine Hall as well . ”
“Well then, do you guys think the Imperial Cuisine Hall will work with Pang Clan?”
“Hard to say . But from the way Pang Clan has always done things, if they fail to work together, they will definitely destroy Imperial Cuisine Hall . There’s no way they would allow Imperial Cuisine Hall to work with other forces .
“But there is a miraculous divine doctor in it . If someone actually dares to lay hands on him, it will mean that they have also offended all other doctors . Hence, a person must be prepared for the consequence when he or she decides to kill a doctor . ”
“That’s not necessarily the case . Things are also very competitive among the doctors . Hence, they might not necessarily be so united either . ”
……
“Little brother, what do we do? Pang Clan is ruthless . It’s impossible that this matter will be solved peacefully,” Soulsearch asked . He seemed really concerned .
“Brother, don’t worry . Help me see how many clans from this generation are able to stand their own ground against Pang Clan . Help me see if there are any patients from each of their clans who need immediate aid . It doesn’t matter what kind of illness it is . Heck, it is fine even if they have no illness as long as they are clans that can stand their own ground against Pang Clan,” Qing Shui smiled and said .
Soulsearch’s eyes turned bright . With this word, he was also considered to have understood how terrifying Qing Shui’s medical expertise was . As soon as Qing Shui said it, he already knew what he was up to . He said in surprise, “This is easy to handle . I can tell you right now . ”
“That’s good . Before everything is too late, let’s go and discuss it . Three days is enough,” Qing Shui smiled and said while walking up along with Soulsearch .
Many of the people who were supposed to be having their meals had already left . At least within these three days, there wouldn’t be anyone here to eat anything . There were even more people who returned their qualifications to be “customers” of Imperial Cuisine Hall . Everyone was scared of seeking trouble with Pang Clan .
This was especially so for the fourth floor, 99% of the people had returned their qualifications . There were only a very few people left and it had only been half a day . There were a few more people left on the third floor but only just a few more . The second and the first floor had less than even one third of the people left . The people with low status weren’t really that strong, so it was assumed that Pang Clan would be too lazy to even lay hands on them . Hence, more of the people of that caliber stayed behind .
Soulsearch was looking at the precious golden card in front of him . This was proof for them to enter each of the floors . All of these had finally come back now . Despite this, he still felt a bit grumpy deep down .
On the contrary, Qing Shui was really happy . It was better to take back these gold cards . They wouldn’t have been able to get it even if they wanted it next time . Even if they decided to offer ten times the price, the card would no longer exist . At least this card can help ensure their safety . Unfortunately, they are the ones who didn’t have good insight .
“Of this generation, there are quite a lot of clans that can resist the Pang Clan . Huang Clan, Kang Clan, Xu Clan, Sikong Clan and Yiwen Clan . These clans aren’t the slightest bit inferior in comparison . This place is the capital of the Phoenix Dance Continent and the powerful clans are still extremely united . There should still be some clans who have surpassed the Pang Clan in power but because my fame isn’t high enough, I don’t have complete info yet . ”
At this moment, door knocking noises came through from outside . After that, Yuan Long came in, “Sir, there is an old man who is requesting to see you outside . ”
Normally, only the people on the fourth floor had the special rights to come here to meet people . Hence, they let Yuan Long take the person up here .
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 .
