Are you sure that he can recover in a weeks time? Huo Zijun was amazed by Xia Xibeis promise.
If it was him who managed the treatment, it would take at least a fortnight for him to recover.
Even if his master were to take up the matter, it would still take around ten days.
But Xia Xibei was saying that she could settle it within a week?!
She must be kidding, right?
Faced with Huo Zijuns doubt, Xia Xibei flashed him a confident smile. Of course!
In fact, she could make Qiao Yanjue recover within three days, but she didnt want to put up such an outstanding performance.
Huo Zijuns face turned serious. May I know who your master is?
Does it have anything to do with my skills? Xia Xibei questioned in return.
It had everything to do with her skills!
Traditional 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.
It was different from western doctors that were produced in batches, which caused traditional Chinese medicine to suffer a gradual downfall.
Once he got to know who Xia Xibeis master was, he would know her level.
You cant tell? Huo Zijun asked.
Its not that I cant tell, but you wouldnt know the person even if I tell you. Xia Xibei shrugged. If youre willing to let me treat him, Ill commence. If youre reluctant, you could settle it on your own.
She wasnt so earnest in treating Qiao Yanjue after all!
She wouldnt even save him if she had known this! This guy was so annoying!
Alright, you treat me.
Qiao Yanjue gave her the green light before Huo Zijun had properly considered it.
Yanjue! Huo Zijun panicked.
I trust her.
Qiao Yanjue recalled the time when Xia Xibei helped him clean his wound. Her skills were smooth and clean, without the slightest bit of hesitation.
Although he wasnt completely conscious, he could feel that Xia Xibei was capable.
Hence, he trusted her when she said she could do it.
I trust her.
His words startled Xia Xibei a little. She never expected Qiao Yanjue to have so much confidence in her.
She felt that he wasnt as annoying as before because of those three words that he had said.
To ensure the results of the treatment, you have to come here every day.
Xia Xibei frowned. No way! Im busy! Im still a student!
She still had to deal with Song Jiaren, so how would she have the time to come here every day?
Qiao Yanjue raised his brows. Ill go to your house then?
No way!
Xia Xibeis face turned very dark. My house is small, it cant accommodate a big Buddha like you!
Qiao Yanjue wasnt angry. You decide, its either I go over, or you come over.
Youd better come here, I have all sorts of herbs here; its convenient at the least, Huo Zijun chipped in.
If Xia Xibei came here, he would get to observe her up close, then he would know what level she was at.
After a moment of hesitation, Xia Xibei eventually nodded. Okay, Ill come here.
By the way, I forgot to get your name, Huo Zijun asked like a gentleman.
Xia Xibei.
Alright, Ill call you Xia then? My surname is Huo, and my name is Zijun. Zi with a mu and a xin, Jun as in gentleman.
Its fine, Ill call you Brother Huo then!
Im Qiao Yanjue. Qiao Yanjue joined in.
Mister Qiao, Xia Xibei called him in a distant yet gracious tone.
Qiao Yanjue couldnt help but begin to doubt himself when he saw Xia Xibei being so friendly to Huo Zijn but so indifferent toward him.
He couldnt be so loathsome-looking, could he?
Having thought of that, his eyes turned hostile as he looked at Huo Zijun.
Huo Zijun finally came to his senses when he felt Qiao Yanjues hostility.
Xia, you may take a rest first, Ill excuse myself.
Alright.
