"The land deed for Xu's Medical Clinic? Could it be the Xu's Medical Clinic in the East District?"

"Nonsense, besides the Xu family clinic in Dongcheng District, what other clinic could have that name? But I never expected that Mr. Shen would buy it and even give it to Dr. Xu."

Within the city of Lin'an, there are four districts: east, west, south, and north. The county government is located in the east district.

With the county government in place, security was naturally guaranteed, making the East District a popular gathering place for wealthy businessmen.

A single brick could kill someone worth only a few dozen taels of silver.

Therefore, the price of land here has naturally been driven up, and Xu's Medical Clinic is a long-established medical clinic in Lin'an City.

However, in those times, clinics were different from restaurants and hotels. Clinics focused on whether doctors could cure patients' illnesses, and traditional Chinese medicine was a school of thought that emphasized inheritance and the acquisition of true knowledge through practice.

The four skills of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation are all so distinct that it would take an ordinary person decades to master any one of them.

Moreover, how much more so to master and understand all four disciplines?

Medical families, especially those specializing in traditional Chinese medicine, are never easy to cultivate. They emphasize the master-apprentice system of knowledge transmission. Many masters, wanting to have someone to rely on in their old age, often keep their skills to themselves and only reveal them on their deathbed.

But what if something unexpected happens?
That would definitely mean it would be lost forever.

The Xu family medical clinic was established because the elder Xu died young in middle age, and his death was without cause or reason, without any basis, and it was said that he had offended the gods.

Many of these "first-hand" skills were not passed on to the next generation.

The sixth generation of the Xu family, due to their young age and lack of experience, even caused many ridiculous medical accidents. Although they did not lead to any major disasters, they lost the hearts of the people in Lin'an City.

After all, no one wants to put their life in the hands of an incompetent doctor.

So over time, the once-grand Xu family medical clinic gradually declined, eventually leading to its current state of having to sell its assets and seek further education elsewhere.

However, although the location of Xu's Medical Clinic is excellent.

However, because the Xu family has been in power for six generations, the asking price is too high. For those wealthy businessmen, this property is like a chicken rib—tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.

So they wanted to drive down the price, waiting until the Xu family's sixth generation couldn't take it anymore before shorting at a lower price.

The plan is a good plan.

But no one expected that a "Cheng Yaojin" would suddenly appear out of nowhere in the usually peaceful city of Lin'an, and that he would have a particularly strong backing.

You can tell from that plaque that reads "Miraculous Healing".

"Brother Shen, you've finally arrived." Li Gongfu stood in the gatehouse and rushed to greet the robust, handsome middle-aged man as soon as he appeared.

"Congratulations!" Shen Bailian greeted the wealthy businessmen around him with an unusually joyful smile, then squeezed through the bustling crowd.

Since Xu Xian lived in Qing Shi Lane, and it was a small courtyard house with one entrance and one exit, similar to a traditional courtyard house, many residents and wealthy merchants of Lin'an City only came to offer their congratulations and then went home.

Furthermore, due to Xu Xian's character and Bai Suzhen's own status, the two tacitly agreed to have a simple wedding.

It doesn't need to be too grand.

However, it is important to let all the residents of this city know that Bai Suzhen is Xu Xian's wife.

Therefore, apart from a few constables Li Gongfu had in the officialdom and a few scholar friends of Xu Xian, there were almost no other outsiders in the courtyard.

"Master Shen." Xu Xian had naturally heard the commotion outside, and urged by Bai Suzhen, he ran over, panting, and said:
"Thank you so much, Master Shen, for gracing my humble abode on my wedding day. It is an honor, but... but I really cannot accept such a grand gift."

After being exposed to Shen Bailian's wealth for some time, Xu Xian gained a basic understanding of Shen Bailian's inhuman extravagance.

He bought a large mansion worth thousands of taels of silver without hesitation, and often took several of his men to Fenglelou to drink and make merry.

Xu Xian had no objection to Shen Bailian wasting his own money.

However, he simply could not afford to spend nearly a thousand taels of silver on himself, let alone on a plaque personally inscribed by the county magistrate.
“Yes, Brother Shen.” Li Gongfu nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Xu Xian’s words. What he valued most was the young man’s upright and unyielding scholarly character. He then continued:
“I am already very happy that you could come to my brother’s wedding today. I will accept your kind gesture, and I will also accept this plaque with the inscription ‘Miraculous Healing Hands’.”

However, the land deed for the Xu family's medical clinic is simply unacceptable; please take it back.

"Steward Wei." Li Gongfu ignored Xu Xian's gaze, then looked at the gray-haired old man behind Shen Bailian and said, "I'll trouble you to bring this plaque in. As for the land deed, take it back."

"Hey, wait a minute," Shen Bailian quickly interjected to stop them.

If Xu Xian hadn't taken the land deed for the Xu Family Medical Clinic, wouldn't Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen still have to steal the government's treasury money in the future?

How could he interfere in this and gain merit?

After several days of research, Shen Bailian has gained some insights into the acquisition of merit, especially under the planning of countless gods and Buddhas.

As long as the results at each node follow the predetermined process, a substitution can be made in the middle to successfully intercept a portion of the merit power.

It is called the Jie Sect.

Just like the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, during the nine reincarnations of Jin Chanzi, countless normal people died in the Tongtian River, and countless corpses were buried beneath Lion Camel Ridge...

But after Jin Chanzi obtained the true scriptures, wasn't he still able to gain merit?

Therefore, the land deed for the Xu family's medical clinic is the most important part of Shen Bailian's entire plan of switching the prince with a cat.

Having a land deed alone is useless; the real expense of a medical clinic is the consumption of medicinal herbs.

"This land deed isn't for you, Xu Xian," Shen Bailian said with a smile, taking the deed from Steward Wei's hand as he looked at the bewildered Li Gongfu and Xu Xian. His words carried a deeper meaning.

"This land deed is for the selfless and impartial Master Xu, Dr. Xu."

Upon hearing this riddle-like statement, Li Gongfu scratched his head and looked at Xu Xian beside him in confusion, only to find that the latter was equally bewildered.

What nonsense is Shen Lian spouting? Aren't Master Xu, Doctor Xu, and Xu Xian all the same person?

Is there a second person involved?
Even the other guests were quite puzzled, and after exchanging bewildered glances, they were even more confused.

Sudden.

"A bunch of idiots, can't you even figure this out?" Just as everyone was silent, a clear and loud voice suddenly rang out from behind. Xiaoqing slowly walked over, glanced around with the kind of look one might give a child with intellectual disabilities, and said calmly:
"Xu Xian can be Doctor Xu, but Doctor Xu is not necessarily Xu Xian."

His words were a wake-up call.

The guests present, including Li Gongfu and Xu Xian, were not mentally challenged, so after only a moment of contemplation, they all understood what Xiaoqing wanted to say.

If one day Xu Xian decides to stop practicing medicine and stop doing free clinics, Shen Bailian will take back the land deed. The land deed for this Xu Family Medical Clinic was originally intended for Dr. Xu, but it belongs to Dr. Xu.

"So, I wonder if Xu Xian, you have the resolve to shoulder this heavy responsibility for the residents of Lin'an City?" Shen Bailian's expression turned solemn as he looked at Xu Xian, who had just recovered from his daze.

In his heart, he was thinking that it was worth it for him to save Xiaoqing's life; this sarcastic remark came at just the right time.

These words have completely different meanings depending on whether they are said by someone else or by the speaker himself.

"I, I..." Xu Xian stammered for a long time, unable to utter another word. After all, this was no small matter; a lifetime and a few years represented completely different things.

Xu Xian asked himself: Can I really shoulder such a heavy responsibility?
Unsure of what to do, he turned to his long-time reliance, Li Gongfu, hoping to get an answer from him.

If Li Gongfu says yes, then he will agree to it without hesitation.

however.

"Now that you're married and have a family, and as the pillar of your household, you should make the decision yourself," Li Gongfu said, putting the question back on his mind.

To be honest, although Li Gongfu believed that Shen Lian wouldn't betray him, he still didn't want Xu Xian to agree to the promise, since it was a matter of a lifetime.

He understood Xu Xian even better than he understood himself.

Beneath his gentle, scholarly exterior lies a heart as firm as stone; once he makes a decision, not even eight horses could pull him back.

Therefore, when Xu Xian said he had met Bai Suzhen, the woman he would love at first sight, and even dragged him to meet her, he no longer stopped her.

"Eh……"

One of the guests wanted to speak, but Li Gongfu quickly noticed and stopped him from saying anything further. This matter was no less important to Xu Xian than his marriage.

Therefore, Xu Xian must make the decision himself.

In an instant, the once noisy courtyard fell into a deathly silence, and everyone's attention shifted from the dining table to Xu Xian.

To agree? Or to refuse?

Xiaoqing also glanced at Xu Xian, intentionally or unintentionally. She had always harbored resentment towards this man.

Bai Suzhen never doubted Xu Xuan's love for her, after all, it had been tested by life and death, and Xu Xuan had given his own life to give Bai Suzhen a chance to live.

But hundreds of years have passed, and Xu Xuan's soul has gone through countless reincarnations. The current Xu Xian is probably no longer the Xu Xuan of the past.

As for love at first sight?
That's even more absurd.

To put it bluntly, it was just lust at first sight. In this era, there is no shortage of scholars, but beauties like Bai Suzhen are rare in the world.

If Bai Suzhen hadn't used her magic to reduce her presence, the line of men who fell in love with her at first sight would have stretched for hundreds of meters.

Xu Xian was naturally excluded from this spell.

Time passed slowly, and the patience of the guests gradually wore thin.

Everyone thought that Xu Xian would not be able to shoulder this heavy responsibility, but that was normal. Xu Xian's body was too weak. Now that he had started a family and established a career, how could he rely on Li Gongfu's help as before?
Xiaoqing's gaze towards Xu Xian was filled with deep disappointment.

How could a man like that, a piece of trash like that, be worthy of her sister Bai Suzhen?
"Tch~" Xiaoqing curled her lips and muttered softly, "Coward, unfit for great responsibilities."

Although the sound was soft, it was exceptionally loud and piercing in the otherwise quiet courtyard.

Xu Xian was either provoked or his bloodline was awakened.

"Good, good, good, good, good... Thank you for the gift, Master Shen. I will definitely..." Although his words trembled and hesitant at the beginning, Xu Xian became more and more determined as he spoke.

This statement came as a surprise to everyone.

Upon hearing this, Shen Bailian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Another crucial juncture had been overcome, just as predicted by his previous actions.

The merit gained in this wave can be converted into at least 2,500 points of divine matter.

Furthermore, the aftermath of this matter is being closely watched.

Shen Bailian immediately gave Xiaoqing a thumbs-up, and Xiaoqing naturally saw Shen Bailian's little gesture, thinking to herself: How childish.

However, for some reason, Xiaoqing felt a subtle emotion stirring within her that she couldn't quite grasp.

This was an emotion she had never experienced in her hundreds of years of demonic life.

I have absolutely no idea what words to use to describe it.

……

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Second bow to the parents!" The master of ceremonies' booming voice rang out in the hall. Li Gongfu, beaming with pride, sat in the main seat, smiling as he looked down at Xu Xian, dressed in auspicious robes, and Bai Suzhen, who wore a red veil and a phoenix coronet and wedding gown.

Now, the two are finally going to tie the knot.

Looking down at the loving couple, Li Gongfu couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

Hurry! The day of Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi's wedding is coming so fast! If he lived in modern times, he could clearly see that this was a whirlwind marriage.

"Couple greetings!"

Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi stood up and turned to face each other. The former looked at the latter with a broad smile on his face, and under the backdrop of his auspicious attire, he appeared exceptionally handsome.

"Even if life is but a dream, and a hundred years is but a dewdrop, this love will endure until the sea dries up and the rocks crumble, endless and boundless..." Bai Suzhen's body trembled slightly as she murmured softly in a voice only she could hear, and two crystal-clear tears appeared on her jade-like face.

Five hundred years! Five hundred years!

She finally completed her wedding with Xu Xuan (Xu Xian).

The two bowed to each other, and only after a long time did they straighten up.

"Send them to the bridal chamber!" As the master of ceremonies finished speaking, the hall suddenly erupted into a frenzy of celebration, but there were no excessive wedding pranks.

The couple was returned to their bridal chamber.

The night passed uneventfully, revealing a perfect match. (End of Chapter)
