THE YOUNG URBAN DOCTOR

Chapter 704: Chapter 704: So That’s How It Is

(Chapter Six)

At this moment, another voice came, “Yo, what’s going on here? Ziling, why are you having a dispute with Chang Wei?”

Luo Ziling turned his head and saw Wang Tongshan, the teacher who had invited him here, emerge from somewhere.

By Wang Tongshan’s side was a middle-aged man of similar age.

“Mr. Wang,” Luo Ziling quickly went forward to greet him, then explained with a smile, “My classmate and I were just looking at this ‘Number One Acupuncture Skill in Huaxia’ plaque and commenting on it casually when this young guy immediately told us to roll. We didn’t know how to roll, so he showed us a demonstration. Before he could finish demonstrating, this older brother came over all menacing, and I didn’t know if this place was a medical hall or a den of bandits. I’ve never seen a medical hall that treats people this way, so today has really been an eye-opener.”

Luo Ziling’s words caused everyone’s expressions to change. Wang Tongshan and his companion were a bit mortified, and the young shop assistant wanted to crawl into a hole out of shame. He wasn’t showing Luo Ziling and the others how to roll at all; he had clearly been tripped by Luo Ziling. He couldn’t believe that this scoundrel could have the shamelessness to say that he was demonstrating how to “roll.”

The man who Wang Tongshan called “Chang Wei” felt extremely embarrassed. He already knew that Luo Ziling and the somewhat feminine “handsome guy” beside him were friends of Wang Tongshan, whom his grandfather wanted to meet for a medical exchange. He couldn’t believe that their visitors had been insulted by his own shop assistant and that he himself had gone over to confront them so aggressively. The embarrassment couldn’t be greater.

“Mr. Wang, Teacher Wu, so these two are your friends,” he reacted quickly, his angry expression vanishing immediately as he smiled and bowed to Wang Tongshan and the other middle-aged man, then turned to Luo Ziling to explain, “I am very sorry, our medical hall’s staff is of low quality and has offended both of you. I apologize on his behalf.”

With that, he gave a bow to Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin as a gesture of apology.

Unexpectedly, the young man’s attitude changed so rapidly. Luo Ziling was rather surprised and felt it would be inappropriate to continue to take offense. He smiled and returned the bow, “It was just some joking words, please don’t take it to heart, brother.”

Wang Tongshan stepped forward and made the introductions, “This is Luo Ziling, the descendant of the famous doctor who saved my life; this is Gu Changwei, the grandson of the owner of Guoying National Medical Hall, Gu Jian’an. This is my old friend, Wu Hongwei, a professor at Yan University College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and also a friend of Sir Gu.”

“I’ve long heard from Dean Wu about a descendant of a famous doctor in the Clinical Medicine Department. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you,” said the middle-aged man named Wu Hongwei, extending his hand to Luo Ziling first, “My name is Wu Hongwei, a teacher at Yan University College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I hope to learn from you, young Mr. Luo, in the future.”

Luo Ziling didn’t know if the other party was just being polite or was genuinely looking to exchange knowledge, but having an elder show him such respect made him feel unexpectedly flattered. He quickly offered some modest words, “Teacher Wu is being too polite. I am just a student; how could I dare instruct you.”

“Young Mr. Luo is being too modest. A student who is so highly regarded by Dean Wu and Director Li of the affiliated hospital couldn’t be anything but exceptional. Haha,” Wu Hongwei laughed before pointing at the plaque at the entrance of the medical hall, “I know you must have had a dispute over this plaque. I also feel uncomfortable looking at it. To dare claim to be Number One in Huaxia is indeed rather arrogant. However, unfortunately, in the field of acupuncture, no one has yet surpassed Sir Gu, so no one has been able to compel him to take down this plaque.”

“Oh, I see,” Luo Ziling chuckled and didn’t say much more.

Gu Changwei was a bit embarrassed. Standing at the entrance and talking had already drawn the attention of many people, and these were all esteemed guests, especially Wu Hongwei, whom even his grandfather highly respected. Luo Ziling was a guest invited by Wu Hongwei and Wang Tongshan, and even without the previous unpleasantness, just making them stand at the entrance and talk was already very impolite.

Thus, he hurriedly invited the group to sit inside and scolded the shop assistant who had caused the trouble.

Wang Tongshan and Wu Hongwei didn’t stand on ceremony and, led by Gu Changwei’s welcoming bow, entered the medical hall.

As they entered the medical hall, Wang Tongshan curiously asked Luo Ziling, “Is this your friend?”

“Yes, my friend, Yang Qing,” Luo Ziling crisply shortened Yang Qingyin’s name by a syllable and didn’t provide any further introductions.

Everyone’s gaze was now on Yang Qingyin, who had followed Luo Ziling in silence.

They were all surprised by the not-very-tall boy who was a bit too delicate-looking, quite like a girl. Gu Changwei glanced at Yang Qingyin now and then, out of curiosity; he found the young man strange, having a figure quite like that of a girl.

But her face still looked like a boy’s—the stubble was particularly masculine, even an Adam’s apple was visible.

The Adam’s apple was something Luo Ziling had stuck onto Yang Qingyin; without this distinctly male feature, those with a keen eye would immediately see through Yang Qingyin’s disguise. Since Luo Ziling wanted Yang Qingyin to play the role of a boy today, he wanted to make it convincing.

Yang Qingyin’s voice was the most likely to give her away, so when greeting others, she just lightly smiled without speaking.

Her temperament was naturally excellent, always composed and serene in front of others, a cold demeanor that made people give her space. After dressing up as a boy, this haughty aura intensified.

So, in the eyes of the others, Yang Qingyin was the embodiment of a noble young master. No one thought it rude of her not to talk, rather, they felt that this person who came with Luo Ziling, whose identity he didn’t specifically introduce, might be someone with an extraordinary background, a person who didn’t easily reveal their identity.

Gu Changwei welcomed the four to the guest room on the second floor, ordered fine tea to be served, and after chatting for a bit, he stood up politely, “Teacher Wu, Mr. Wang, Mr. Luo, Mr. Yang, please have a seat for a moment; I will go invite my grandfather over.”

Today Wu Hongwei had invited the young Luo Ziling to exchange medical knowledge with his grandfather. Although Gu Changwei was slightly averse to Luo Ziling, who was even younger than him, he did not dare to underestimate him given that Wu Hongwei saw something special in him, and because several authoritative figures from the medical college regarded him highly. These people were not the type to flatter without reason; those they acknowledged were definitely not of ordinary skill.

Therefore, he didn’t show arrogance nor did he seek to silently compare his medical expertise with Luo Ziling’s; instead, he immediately went to call his grandfather over.
