1174 A Token of Gratitude (1/2)

”My god! This is incredible! You are the first person in all of Northern Wilderness Starfield that could ease Ms. Wenren's illness!” Dong Zhuo declared. His widened eyes still focused on Chen Xiaobei.

”Young man, I'm really sorry that I did not believe you,” said a shocked Wenren Jinghao. ”I now know that you were telling the truth! I hope you won't hold that against me but continue to find a way to cure my daughter's illness! I am truly grateful!”

”Don't thank me just yet,” Chen Xiaobei said, ”I cannot guarantee that I will be able to cure Ms. Wenren Jinghao of her illness. I'm afraid I will have to consult my teacher about the cure!”

”Your teacher?”

Both Wenren Jinghao and Dong Zhuo were astonished.

Whoever taught this disciple to be so incredible must be quite the teacher!

”Young man, where is your teacher? I'd like to pay him my respects personally!” asked Dong Zhuo.

Traditional medicine doctors were rare in Northern Wilderness Starfield. All the good doctors were enshrined by the aristocrats whereas top-notch doctors were made honored guests of the governor and the Temple.

Dong Zhuo wanted to recruit Chen Xiaobei's teacher, to enshrine him in his official residence so that if there were any outbreaks of illnesses, Dong Zhuo would have nothing to worry about.

But Chen Xiaobei shook his head and said, ”My teacher lives in a place far away. And governor, you will not want to go there!”

”What place is that? If you tell me, I will certainly go!” Dong Zhuo said zealously.

Chen Xiaobei simply shook his head and said nothing.

Three legendary doctors from ancient times, Huo Tuo, Li Shizhen, Sun Simiao had taught Chen Xiaobei everything he knew about traditional Chinese medicine.

And these three were ghosts in the underworld realm.

Dong Zhuo would never have the courage to set foot in the underworld realm and talk to spirits.

Wenren Jinghao moderated the situation by saying, ”Governor, men like that prefer to live in solitary. If you visit him, I'm afraid it may backfire and worsen the situation.”

”Mm, you're right.”

Dong Zhuo nodded disappointedly.

He then turned his attention toward Chen Xiaobei. He had a feeling that this young man's medical skills were not as superb as his teacher's. Also, he was afraid that Wenren Jinghao might mistake that Dong Zhuo wanted to please him as well, so he decided not to try and reel Chen Xiaobei in.

”Miss, you have just recovered. Let's get you home and rest!” Wenren Qing'er said.

”I don't want to! I have never felt so good before! I don't need to rest!” Wenren Muyue shook her head. ”Today was supposed to be dad's homecoming. We didn't even sit down and have a celebratory meal, yet. How can we possibly go home? On top of that, how can we let this gentleman who helps ease my pain go home with an empty stomach?”

”Mm, you are right.” Qing'er nodded and then looked at Wenren Jinghao for confirmation.

”Alright then. Let's have dinner together!” Wenren Jinghao smiled. ”Young man, please don't decline. This is Muyue's intent! If you don't eat with us, I'm afraid this girl will not be able to sleep for a few days!”

”Alright! Then I shall accept with earnest.”

Chen Xiaobei nodded.

After that, Chen Xiaobei sat down and enjoyed a divine meal with the Northern Wilderness Temple Elder, the Silver Plume governor, and Ms. Wenren.

All throughout the dinner, Chen Xiaobei was the focus at the table.

Wenren Jinghao and Wenren Muyue would not stop thanking him and Dong Zhuo would not stop asking Chen Xiaobei about the whereabouts of his teacher.
