"Mr. Shi."
Upon seeing the person enter, the bigwig sitting at the table quickly stood up, smiled, and greeted him respectfully.
Xu Yuan sat quietly on the stool, picked up his teacup and took a sip, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Eating was originally a pleasant experience for him, but now that things have turned out this way, he may appear calm on the surface, but he's already unhappy inside.
Why should we give these people a friendly face?
Shi Tianle looked to be in his eighties, but he was still very energetic with black hair. He was always cheerful and greeted the people who gathered around him with a smile. He glanced calmly at Xu Yuan and then pointed to Zhao Jian'an, who was still holding a plate.
"Mr. Zhao, what are you doing?"
Zhao Jian'an smiled obsequiously, "Mr. Shi, you don't know, some little brat crawled in from who-knows-where and has been jumping around here. I was just about to teach him a lesson when you arrived."
"We are relieved to see you here."
Otherwise, he really wouldn't know how vast the sky is.
"How old are you? Why are you still so impulsive?" Shi Tianle smiled and said, "Getting angry is bad for your health. You should calm down."
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Yuan, who was sitting on the stool: "I also heard that Yiyi invited a master who is skilled in Taoist magic and has extraordinary medical skills. I came here to see for myself."
Where is he/she?
"Mr. Shi," Huang Yiyi stepped forward and greeted him respectfully, pointing in the direction of Xu Yuan, "that's him. I invited him from Mingdai."
"Mr. Shi, I think Miss Yiyi has been deceived by him."
The bearded man interjected, "At his age, let alone medical skills, he probably can't even cure a cold. He's just a conman who goes around swindling people and freeloading."
Look at him, once he enters this room, he only knows where to eat. He has no manners and doesn't follow the rules.
He's not good at treating illnesses, he's just a glutton.
These words drew a burst of laughter from the private room.
Shi Tianle quickly waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop: "You can't say that. China is full of natural treasures, and every region is full of talented people. There are many hidden talents and no one should be underestimated."
"Since you dare to say that, you must have some ability."
Hearing these words, Xu Yuan had a fairly good impression of Mr. Shi.
I haven't lived in vain at this age; I've gained some experience, at least I don't judge people by their appearance.
"Since Mr. Shi says so, why don't we test him?"
The bearded man pressed his advantage: "When it comes to medical skills and Taoist magic, who in Pucheng or even China can compare to you, Mr. Shi? You are known as the Sage of Medicine in China."
"Let's show this guy from a small place what he's made of, so he doesn't become narrow-minded and think he's invincible."
Shi Tian chuckled lightly without responding, and walked through the crowd to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan also stood up and politely cupped his hands in greeting to Shi Tianle who was walking towards him.
Judging from his actions and attire, Shi Tianle immediately understood: "How should I address you, young friend?"
"Mingdai, make a wish."
"I am Tokita Raku."
Shi Tianle was not presumptuous and spoke politely: "I heard from Yiyi that you were able to diagnose the cause of Old Huang's injury after hearing her describe Old Huang's symptoms once. Is that true?"
"It was me who said it," Xu Yuan said without any modesty.
The so-called high-society people in the private room were all staring at him expectantly, but he wasn't intimidated.
"Do you have any way to treat this?" Shi Tianle pressed.
"Since I promised to come to Pucheng, I will naturally find a way to cure his illness."
Xu Yuan, brimming with confidence, suddenly turned his gaze to Huang Yiyi: "But, it seems I shouldn't have come."
Xu Yuan exchanged a glance with Huang Yiyi, ignored her attitude, and turned to look back at Shi Tianle.
"Judging from your actions just now, you must be one of the people inside the gate."
What you should know most is that the most important thing in Taoist healing is sincerity.
If there is no sincerity, even if you give me mountains of gold and silver, I will not seek treatment.
Even if forced to seek medical treatment, the outcome will not be good.
"You've seen the situation; I don't need to say more. Farewell!"
Xu Yuan cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and then led Wang Ba and Chen Xiaofang toward the door.
"Young friend." Shi Tianle, seeing that his demeanor and speech did not seem like those of a swindler, quickly spoke up to stop him.
"Mr. Shi, if he wants to leave, let him leave quickly."
Zhao Jian'an said sarcastically, "If you don't leave now, you'll be exposed soon, and you'll have to crawl out on your knees."
"Anyway, he's already gotten a free meal. He probably won't be able to afford such a good meal again in his entire life. Let's hurry up and leave," the bearded man chimed in.
Upon hearing these harsh words as she reached the door, Xu Yuan showed no intention of stopping.
A bunch of scoundrels, they will be punished by Heaven.
As she opened the door, she nearly bumped into the person outside, and only then did Xu Yuan stop in her tracks.
At the door, a short-haired, pretty woman, wearing blue jeans that accentuated her long, straight legs, and a white shirt tucked into her waist, looked smart and capable. She was pushing a middle-aged man in a wheelchair and was about to knock when the door opened.
When Shi Tianle walked over, he quickly went to the door to stop Xu Yuan from leaving.
The man in the wheelchair cupped his hands in greeting to Shi Tianle: "Mr. Shi, I knew you were coming here to eat, so I came over to say hello."
It seems we've arrived at the worst possible time.
Shi Tianle maintained a smile throughout and took the opportunity to introduce Xu Yuan: "This is Wang Han, the boss of Zijin Palace, President Wang."
"This is Mr. Xu from Mingdai."
"Mr. Xu, thank you for coming to our shop. How is the food? Please feel free to give us any feedback." Wang Han spoke with the politeness and demeanor of a businessman.
He bowed slightly in return, but his gaze lingered on the girl pushing the wheelchair, making her blush.
Wang Han noticed this and introduced her softly, "This is my daughter, Wang Rose."
Xu Yuan smiled, then looked down at Wang Han, who was sitting in a wheelchair. The moment her gaze fell on his face, she sensed something was wrong.
Shi Tianle noticed the strange look that flashed quickly in Xu Yuan's eyes and seized the opportunity to speak: "Our Mr. Xu is a skilled doctor and also a member of the Taoist sect."
"Mr. Wang, you've been receiving treatment for your leg for a while now, but there's been no improvement. How about letting Mr. Xu examine you?"
"If that's really the case, I, Wang, would be extremely grateful."
Wang Han had heard that Shi Tianle was eating here and wanted to curry favor by asking him to take a look at his leg.
Now that Shi Tianle has brought it up, he is naturally happy to oblige.
As for the young man in front of me, it doesn't matter.
If the young man is wrong, Tokita Raku will definitely correct him so that he won't suffer any loss.
Xu Yuan also realized that it wasn't a coincidence at all.
Mr. Shi is trying to take this opportunity to test me.
If he cannot be treated, he will become what Zhao Jian'an and the others call a freeloader and a fraud.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced behind him and saw the bearded men in the private room, all with their arms crossed, looking like they were waiting to see a good show.
Huang Yiyi stood innocently to the side, quietly watching Xu Yuan, as if she were an outsider.
Xu Yuan knew best that all of this was arranged by this wild girl.
Just wait and see how I deal with you later.
