He was unconvinced and did not understand it either – why was she turning them down? They were prestigious doctors!
They were doctors who had a high reputation in the capital, though not as socially high as the imperial doctors. Many old masters and madams of noble families would treat them nicely, since they were going to treat them in the future. Imperial doctors might be more capable, but they were for the
imperial families, not for the nobles outside the court.
This young girl did not seem to have any other skills other than healing a dying person.
They knew that this young girl probably inherited the skills from her family. So they were here to become her disciple and they lowered their own social status for her sake!
And yet she turned them down like this? That would not do!
‘When someone tried to grab Gu Chaoyan, Sword One stopped him with her sword, making him stagger backwards.
Sword One said fiercely, “How dare you touch Elder Miss!”
‘That man showed a very displeased expression on his face.
A slightly older-looking man took a step forward and said as if he were the one holding justice. “Miss, don’t be mad. I am Qian Shao from Liuwei Hall, and this is Li Qing, the visiting doctor at Liuwei Hall. He is from a medical family, so he has become a very excellent doctor at this young age. We are here
to pay respect and you should not turn us down. Li Qing is a very impulsive person, but he just needs a reasonable explanation!”
Gu Chaoyan squinted as she heard what Qian Shao said.
This man, who sounded as if he were on the side of justice, was scolding her for this man called Li Qing just because he was slightly older than the others. Gu Chaoyan was smart enough to tell the tone.
Actually… these so-called doctors were trying to bully her. They thought that they were capable doctors with some contacts in the capital, so they believed that they were better than others.
That would make sense.
She was a young girl with only a few helpers, and Xinlin Clinic did not receive any other families either, so they believed that she had no one supporting her.
That was why they were here trying to steal her medical skills in the name of becoming her disciples.
Medical skills were what created a doctor, and she was confident enough to know that those people would not share anything they held after learning the medical skills from her, because they needed their inherited medical skills to have a spot in the capital. However, they had never considered how she
was able to find her own spot if she passed on the medical skills to those people? Well, they would never think about it at all. Otherwise they would not have been so wild.
Other people might do them the favor, or probably come to a compromise, which would cause them to end up having nothing left, but… Gu Chaoyan was not an ordinary person. No one was able to bully her, and she did not allow herself to get belittled either.
“He may be young and impulsive. but Doctor Qian, you are an elder, so why are you equally silly?” Gu Chaoyan said coldly as she looked at Qian Shao.
Hearing what Gu Chaoyan said, Qian Shao said angrily with a look of disbelief. “What are you talking about, silly girl!”
“Tam saying that you are old, but dumb.” Gu Chaoyan repeated the words one by one, countering this doctor called Qian Shao instead of Li Qing..
