I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 220 - 128 Gate God of Jing Sect_2

"You have hemorrhaged? How can a man like you spend your days researching such nonsense," Hu Baosong said with irritation, looking at Xu Qing.

"That statement is quite wrong. A physician’s heart is like that of a parent. I have some medical knowledge, and no matter what kind of physician it is, as long as the prescription can heal and save people, it is a priceless treasure in the eyes of a physician. This has nothing to do with whether the physician is male or female."

"Have you ever seen a physician in that clinic refuse to treat a patient just because she is a woman?"

Hu Baosong pondered for a moment. Just as Xu Qing was preparing to take his leave, the old man suddenly reached out to touch the back of his head.

A blue flash glittered, and the old man cut off a bunch of his own hair.

"Take it. I don’t have long to live anyway, so you can mess with me as you wish, but don’t even think about touching Master Yizhen’s hair. A woman’s hair cannot be casually given to others."

Xu Qing accepted the hair Hu Baosong handed to him, but he pretended not to hear the implied message in the old man’s words.

But speaking of trust, Old Hu truly trusts him. For the Heaven Concealing Skill, just one strand of hair is enough to perform the skill. The old man didn’t even hesitate to cut off a small braid.

"Alright! When I concoct the Blood Remnant Pill, I’ll deliver some to you, old man."

Xu Qing, with his extensive knowledge, could manage this hair. Otherwise, it would truly be difficult to handle.

"Finished?"

On the street, Zhao Zhonghe, who was driving the carriage, casually asked.

Sitting on the carriage board, Xu Qing replied casually, "Everything is settled. Chief Zhao, just drive the carriage to the destination, and I’ll handle the feng shui and burial matters."

As the carriage left Underground Street, Zhao Zhonghe suddenly let out a breath, "Damn it, I almost suffocated. Your shop is so unlucky that people aren’t even allowed to curse. If people can’t curse, are they still human? They’d have to be saints!"

"Moreover, even a clay Buddha has a temper!"

During the journey, Zhao Zhonghe kept cursing intermittently. After several days of interaction, Xu Qing gradually understood the character of this constable.

He was a crude person with not much real malice; sometimes swearing was just a habit, but he was a principled man.

"I heard that three months ago, Chief Zhao, you had a new addition to your family. Congratulations!"

Chief Zhao laughed, "You know about that? I had Old Wang send you a full month red envelope, but Shopkeeper Xu didn’t come at the time."

Xu Qing said, "That’s your fault. Don’t you know what kind of business I am in? You don’t understand taboos. As I guess, my senior probably didn’t come to the full month banquet either?"

Beside him, Zhao Yuan spoke up, "That’s true. Old Wang bundled a full-month red envelope, saying he had something to do and asked me to deliver it to Uncle."

"Now thinking about it, maybe he felt the forensic doctor’s identity was unlucky, and it wasn’t appropriate to go to uncle’s house for celebration."

Zhao Zhonghe fell silent for a moment, then shook his head, "Others might care about it, but if close friends and brothers care about it, what kind of friends are they?"

"Uncle, a few days ago, Tang Master also didn’t invite Old Wang for his full month banquet, right?"

Xu Qing was surprised and said, "You mean Tang Zhou, Master Tang?"

Zhao Zhonghe interjected, "Who else could it be? That shameless old man, already at his age, still wants to have a daughter. He secretly raised a mistress outside, and actually had a daughter."

"..."

Xu Qing gritted his teeth and thought to himself that it had nothing to do with him.

In his opinion, Master Tang probably couldn’t get out of the Dream Creation Skill, thinking having a daughter would bring him good luck, letting him get promoted and make a fortune smoothly.

"Uncle, speaking of which, Master Tang borrowed books from me a few days ago..."

"Borrow books? What does he want books for?"

Zhao Yuan said with a complex emotion, "Master said he wanted to take advantage of his youth and give it another shot, maybe he could get the title of scholar in the autumn exam this year."

"That old thing must be over fifty, where does he get the face to say he’s young! Did you lend him the book?"

Zhao Yuan helplessly said, "Uncle, you know I’m not good at studying. I’ve bought many ink, paper, and brushes, and many books. If there was a scholar, they might even pass the advanced scholar exam.

"Since Master has the intent for the examination, giving him the books is fine, better than letting them collect dust on the shelf."

Xu Qing couldn’t help but laugh, was this the legendary underachiever with lots of stationery?

They continued chatting idly, and as the carriage approached Tanggu Bridge, Xu Qing suddenly saw a fortune-telling stand at the stone railing of the bridge.

It wasn’t surprising to see a fortune-telling stand at the bridge, but the fortune-teller sitting at the stand is someone he recognized.

When he transcended Shi Quan, he saw a scene where Shi Quan, after leaving the office, met a man who claimed to be a fortune teller from the Jing Sect.

The fortune teller said Shi Quan lacked water in his fate and was repelled by water. Neither should there be water in his name nor should he go to places with lakes or water.

If he must go, he will be harmed, or even killed!

As Xu Qing looked at the fortune teller, the man was also observing the passersby.

This was related to the profession of a divination master.

Once he noticed a passerby facing trouble, the Jing Sect Divination Master would shout something meaningful, making the person stop and inquire.

Xu Qing had long known that Tanggu Bridge had many fortune tellers, which is why he used to take a longer route rather than passing over this bridge.

After all, who can guarantee that these fortune tellers don’t have some real extraordinary abilities? If one of them saw through him and realized he wasn’t human, wouldn’t that be trouble?

Xu Qing had just acquired the Heaven Concealing Skill, otherwise, he would never risk exposure by taking this path.
