n“Are you sure that he can recover in a week’s time?” Huo Zijun was amazed by Xia Xibei’s promise.

n

n

nIf it was him who managed the treatment, it would take at least a fortnight for him to recover.

n

n

nEven if his master were to take up the matter, it would still take around ten days.

n

n

nBut Xia Xibei was saying that she could settle it within a week?!

n

n

nShe must be kidding, right?

n

n

nFaced with Huo Zijun’s doubt, Xia Xibei flashed him a confident smile. “Of course!”

n

n

nIn fact, she could make Qiao Yanjue recover within three days, but she didn’t want to put up such an outstanding performance.

n

n

nHuo Zijun’s face turned serious. “May I know who your master is?”

n

n

n“Does it have anything to do with my skills?” Xia Xibei questioned in return.

n

n

nIt had everything to do with her skills!

n

n

nTraditional Chinese medicine was a heritage passed down from one generation to the next. Without being led by a master, it was very difficult for one to continue down the path.

n

n

nIt was different from western doctors that were produced in batches, which caused traditional Chinese medicine to suffer a gradual downfall.

n

n

nOnce he got to know who Xia Xibei’s master was, he would know her level.

n

n

n“You can’t tell?” Huo Zijun asked.

n

n

n“It’s not that I can’t tell, but you wouldn’t know the person even if I tell you.” Xia Xibei shrugged. “If you’re willing to let me treat him, I’ll commence. If you’re reluctant, you could settle it on your own.”

n

n

nShe wasn’t so earnest in treating Qiao Yanjue after all!

n

n

nShe wouldn’t even save him if she had known this! This guy was so annoying!

n

n

n“Alright, you treat me.”

n

n

nQiao Yanjue gave her the green light before Huo Zijun had properly considered it.

n

n

n“Yanjue!” Huo Zijun panicked.

n

n

n“I trust her.”

n

n

nQiao Yanjue recalled the time when Xia Xibei helped him clean his wound. Her skills were smooth and clean, without the slightest bit of hesitation.

n

n

nAlthough he wasn’t completely conscious, he could feel that Xia Xibei was capable.

n

n

nHence, he trusted her when she said she could do it.

n

n

n‘I trust her.’

n

n

nHis words startled Xia Xibei a little. She never expected Qiao Yanjue to have so much confidence in her.

n

n

nShe felt that he wasn’t as annoying as before because of those three words that he had said.

n

n

n“To ensure the results of the treatment, you have to come here every day.”

n

n

nXia Xibei frowned. “No way! I’m busy! I’m still a student!”

n

n

nShe still had to deal with Song Jiaren, so how would she have the time to come here every day?

n

n

nQiao Yanjue raised his brows. “I’ll go to your house then?”

n

n

n“No way!”

n

n

nXia Xibei’s face turned very dark. “My house is small, it can’t accommodate a big Buddha like you!”

n

n

nQiao Yanjue wasn’t angry. “You decide, it’s either I go over, or you come over.”

n

n

n“You’d better come here, I have all sorts of herbs here; it’s convenient at the least,” Huo Zijun chipped in.

n

n

nIf Xia Xibei came here, he would get to observe her up close, then he would know what level she was at.

n

n

nAfter a moment of hesitation, Xia Xibei eventually nodded. “Okay, I’ll come here.”

n

n

n“By the way, I forgot to get your name,” Huo Zijun asked like a gentleman.

n

n

n“Xia Xibei.”

n

n

n“Alright, I’ll call you Xia then? My surname is Huo, and my name is Zijun. ‘Zi’ with a ‘mu’ and a ‘xin’, ‘Jun’ as in gentleman.”

n

n

n“It’s fine, I’ll call you Brother Huo then!”

n

n

n“I’m Qiao Yanjue.” Qiao Yanjue joined in.

n

n

n“Mister Qiao,” Xia Xibei called him in a distant yet gracious tone.

n

n

nQiao Yanjue couldn’t help but begin to doubt himself when he saw Xia Xibei being so friendly to Huo Zijn but so indifferent toward him.

n

n

nHe couldn’t be so loathsome-looking, could he?

n

n

nHaving thought of that, his eyes turned hostile as he looked at Huo Zijun.

n

n

nHuo Zijun finally came to his senses when he felt Qiao Yanjue’s hostility.

n

n

n“Xia, you may take a rest first, I’ll excuse myself.”

n

n

n“Alright.”
