The World's Number One Medical Hall

Chapter Ninety-Three: Tie Xiong's Arrival

The next day.

The sign for the "Number One Medical Clinic in the World" has been hung up again.

Mo Bai remained seated at his stall by the entrance, watching the bustling street with its throngs of people coming and going.

Just like the previous two days, people would occasionally stop in front of his stall to watch this young doctor, but just like the previous two days, everyone was only amazed and no one actually came to do business with him.

Some people who came specifically for treatment ended up going to the Jishi Medical Clinic across the street after going around in circles. Some even stood at the entrance, pointing at him and chatting with the waiter.

Mo Bai was already used to this scene and didn't mind. He remained calm and composed, like Jiang Taigong fishing, waiting for those who were willing to take the bait.

This continued until a burly man wearing a hat came and sat down opposite his stall.

Mo Bai looked at the person in front of him, his brow twitching slightly before quickly regaining its composure. He subtly surveyed his surroundings, and seeing that few people were paying attention to him, he smiled and asked softly, "Why did you come here?"

"Doctor, I'm feeling a little unwell..." Tie Xiong was wearing a hat, and a thick beard covered most of his face.

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Bai laughed and said, "It's alright, just say what you need to say!"

It's obvious that Tie Xiong wasn't careful enough. It's illogical that a young doctor like him would sit down and seek treatment from him without thinking.

If someone is truly paying attention here, they will naturally notice something amiss immediately. At that point, there's little point in pretending.

It's better to be natural, ask a couple of questions and then leave, so people won't overthink it.

Now that he's here, there's no point in Mo Bai saying anything more. Besides, he understands that Tie Xiong would never come in person unless there's an emergency.

Tie Xiong was well aware of the situation, but he had no choice. Looking at Mo Bai's calm face, he whispered, "Sixth Master, something's happened!"

"Oh?" Mo Bai's expression remained unchanged, but a clear light was gathering in his eyes. However, he didn't make any big movements. He simply reached out and adjusted the pulse pillow on the table, saying calmly, "What is it? Tell me slowly!"

Seeing that Mo Bai was so calm, Tie Xiong also calmed himself down and said in a deep voice, "People from the Patrol Division have their eyes on you and are investigating your background. They have already gone to the inn where we stayed before to investigate."

"The Patrol Division?" Mo Bai's eyes suddenly relaxed, and he lowered his head slightly, asking, "Do I have any of their men with me?"

"Yes, it's those two men in black short suits in that teahouse up ahead. Sixth Master, I've been observing them for a long time, and they don't seem to be making a move yet. But we can't stay here any longer. Consider this my request for you to come on a house call. Come with me immediately!" Tie Xiong said in a low voice, his eyes filled with tension.

"No rush!" Mo Bai didn't look at the teahouse diagonally opposite, but after a slight flicker in his eyes, he asked softly, "I know what I'm doing. Have they confirmed your identity?"

"My identity?" Tie Xiong was taken aback, then his expression turned grim. "Sixth Master, I'm afraid they've traced me to you because they've been watching me. I've confirmed several times that they haven't recognized me yet, but it's not safe to wait any longer. You'd better come with me quickly!"

"No, you misunderstand. They're investigating me, not because of you." Mo Bai shook his head slightly upon hearing this. "Besides, they're not here to harm me. If I'm not mistaken, those two in the teahouse were protecting me!"

"Huh?" Tie Xiong was dumbfounded: "Protect you?"

No matter how he thought about it, he never imagined that Mo Bai would be involved with the Patrol Division. Yesterday, he thought that it was because he had been entering and leaving his fellow disciples' residences that he had been bitten by these Patrol Division members, which had implicated Mo Bai. Therefore, he was very anxious but dared not make any rash moves. Only after confirming repeatedly today that he had not been recognized by them after disguising himself did he dare to come to find Mo Bai and get away from this dangerous place as soon as possible.

Mo Bai simply nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.

Yesterday he mentioned that he had an accident, which led to his current predicament, but it was actually intentional.

"I didn't expect them to take it so seriously so quickly, they've already started investigating!" Mo Bai murmured softly.

"Sixth Master, this..." Tie Xiong didn't understand what was going on.

"This is a long story, I'll tell you in detail when I have the chance. How are your fellow disciples doing now? Is the Longsword Society still making things difficult for you?" Mo Bai raised his head and asked softly.

Mentioning this, Tie Xiong's face darkened even more: "I'm afraid this is really troublesome. Junior Brother Chen still hasn't been released. The Long Saber Society keeps dragging their feet and won't release him."

"Just as I expected!" Mo Bai was astute and had anticipated this. The Long Knife Society wasn't stupid; did they really think they would respect the code of honor among the martial arts world? It was obvious that this batch of medicinal herbs was in big trouble. How could they easily let these people escape their control? Even if they dared not touch them, they wouldn't let them go.

After a moment of conflicting thoughts in his eyes, Mo Bai said in a deep voice, "The Longsword Society is still watching you, isn't it?"

"Don't worry, Sixth Master, we've already shaken them off!" Tie Xiong's expression turned serious.

Mo Bai shook his head, indicating that this was not what he meant. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Tell your fellow disciples not to act rashly. Just stall the Long Saber Society for now. After some time, I will arrange an identity for you in the Patrol Division. Then, with the Patrol Division's backing, you can openly demand the people from the Long Saber Society. The Long Saber Society will certainly not dare to refuse to release them."

"What? I'm going to the Patrol Division?" Tie Xiong asked, his eyes wide with surprise, completely bewildered.

"This matter is difficult to explain to you in a short time. I have my own arrangements." Mo Bai nodded, but didn't have time to say much. He glanced at the Jishi Medical Clinic across the street, his eyes flashing, and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, I will see Doctor Zhu tomorrow, and three days later, I should be able to start practicing at Jishi Medical Clinic. Remember, before I enter Jishi Medical Clinic, you must not let the Patrol Division find out your exact identity. More importantly, you must not let the Long Knife Society know that the Patrol Division is investigating you, otherwise, Doctor Zhu will definitely discover my relationship with you."

"Yes!" Although Tie Xiong was still confused, he knew that it was not the right time and place to ask, so he nodded in agreement.

"Alright, you go first. If the patrol officers have already noticed something amiss and send someone to follow you, just try to shake them off and avoid any conflict," Mo Bai instructed in a deep voice.

Having come all this way, Tie Xiong never expected it to end like this, and he got up and left, completely bewildered.

Mo Bai glanced casually at the two people in the teahouse, and sure enough, one of them stood up and followed in the direction Tie Xiong had left.

Mo Bai withdrew his gaze, not surprised at all. Since they had already found out that there was someone around him, they would definitely pay attention to all suspicious points. Although he hadn't talked to Tie Xiong for long, they would still investigate.

With Tie Xiong's abilities, it shouldn't be difficult for him to shake him off.

"Tie Xiong must not be exposed within three days!" Mo Bai murmured softly, his gaze slightly lowered.

A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. There was nothing he could do. The Patrol Division had also been involved in the matter of that batch of medicinal herbs. If Master Chu found out about this, he might suspect that his visit to treat him was for ulterior motives, which would cause a lot of trouble in his life.

Three days later, he was able to get out of bed and entered the Jishi Medical Clinic. At that time, he would be fine...
