Upon hearing this, Liu Shimei had to snap out of her recruiting mode and shift into confrontational mode.
Sensing that her dear friend was about to lose it, she grabbed his hand, pushed him behind her, and confronted the speaker. “I may not be the youngest, but if we have to go by seniority in the Ghost Doctor Qi Yang’s camp, I might be… the only one?”
She smirked, a sly grin playing at her lips. “Did you get wind of my master’s announcement? Did you think that because he took on a disciple, the renowned Ghost Doctor Qi Yang was finally breaking tradition and planning to take on more students? So, you thought you’d come and secure a spot?”
The man, although slightly built and scholarly-looking, had a pair of eyes that betrayed a shrewd, street-smart demeanor. He snorted, “Since Master Qi has taken you as his disciple, you’re the first disciple and the senior sister. Does that give you the right to block Master from taking on more disciples like me?”
Liu Shimei sighed dramatically, “I’m really sorry if there’s been a misunderstanding. Master Qi hasn’t expressed any desire to take on more disciples. He released the news of taking me on as his disciple for one purpose – for me, Liu Shimei, and for our clinic, the Fusheng Pavilion. He wants all the medical elites to come here, so that I can select resident physicians!”
With these words, in the crowd of about 30 doctors, whispers started to circulate.
Most of them would noot dare to make this trip without some serious skills. Master Qi Yang had a notoriously bad temper, and coming to seek him without genuine talent was akin to courting death.
These were all medical elites who had come for Master Qi Yang’s discipleship, not to sacrifice themselves for his current disciple!
Someone immediately turned on their heel and said, “In that case, I’ll take my leave!”
Liu Shimei remained silent, watching as over 30 people gradually left until only about a dozen remained.
Well, they had run away, nearly half of them, in an instant!
She did not care about those who left; they were of no use to her.
Shu Han, following behind, could not help but sneer, “A bunch of shortsighted rabble, no wonder they can’t rise above mediocrity!”
“Who are you? What gives you the right to say that others can’t rise above mediocrity?” The doctor who had confronted Liu Shimei earlier jumped in again.
Liu Shimei furrowed her brow and said, “Sorry for the interruption. Could you please introduce yourself first? Even though I might not remember it for long, I can’t just call you ‘Number One’ or ‘Number Two,’ can I?”
Her words immediately drew laughter from many people!
The mockery was quite strong!
Huangfu Lingyao lowered his eyelids, hiding the amusement in his eyes. He held Liu Shimei’s wrist, lightly rubbing the inner side with the pad of his thumb.
Hmm, soft and smooth as tofu, really nice!
Eating tofu and watching his future wife unleash his aura and verbally destroy people, it felt great!
Thinking about such a girl, who would soon become his wife, sharing a bed together every day, hugging and kissing each other, and even watching her tear people apart when bored, it felt wonderful!
The doctor, thoroughly mocked, angrily declared, “1 am who I am, and my name is well-known. People call me the ‘Wandering Doctor’, Tie Sanlang!”‘ “Ha!” Liu Shimei burst into laughter without any reservations.
Seeing Tie Sanlang raise his eyebrows and look furious, she quickly waved her hand and said, “Don’t get angry, don’t get angry. I’m sorry, I’m not laughing at you.”
Tie Sanlang’s expression softened slightly.
Then she suddenly said, “1 was laughing at the ‘well-known’ part. 1 don’t know, among these people, who else is ‘well-known’?”
This sentence was a direct and sharp jab at Tie Sanlang’s lack of renown.
Tie Sanlang, naturally furious, retorted, “I asked around about you before coming here. Aren’t you Liu Shimei, the noble daughter of the Imperial Capital’s most prestigious family, the unmarried maiden who lost her virtue?”
With that sentence, the entire world suddenly fell silent..
