Yang Ruxin waved off the comment, "You’re overthinking it."
Dao Xuzi frowned, looking at Yang Ruxin with disbelief.
"I was just asking." Yang Ruxin chuckled, "Let’s eat."
The others looked at them strangely, not understanding what kind of secret code they were speaking in.
Fang Tianze was even more puzzled.
"Yang Ruxin, what do you mean by that? Are you looking down on my medical skills again?" Dao Xuzi flared up, slamming his chopsticks down on the table, "If that boy had continued to be treated by those quacks, he probably would have lived only until fifteen, you know?" He glanced at Fang Tianze, "But you, my lad, are lucky to have met me..."
Fang Tianze frowned and looked at Yang Ruxin, because he had only been introduced to the old man as a respected elder, and Sini and the other youngsters called him grandfather, so he really didn’t know the old man’s exact identity. However, it seemed now that this old man was indeed someone formidable.
Yang Ruxin touched his nose: "That’s what you said, not me."
"I said it," the old man stiffened his neck.
Only then did Yang Ruxin look at Fang Tianze, "This is Dao Xuzi, the senior you’ve been looking for..."
"What?" Fang Tianze was startled.
But Liuyun was quick-witted. Hearing this, he immediately stood up, knelt down on the ground, and started kowtowing, "Senior, please save our young master, I’m begging you, I’ll be your ox and horse from now on..."
"Get up, get up," Dao Xuzi waved his hand impatiently, "If I wanted oxen and horses I’d just buy them. Why would I want you when I’d have to feed you..."
The corner of Yang Ruxin’s mouth twitched, this old man really did bring up food in every other sentence, a true foodie indeed.
Liuyun was instantly at a loss.
"Get up." Yang Ruxin spoke, "Remember, no kneeling or kowtowing in my house. If you want to do that, go back to your own place..."
Liuyun quickly stood up.
"Xinxin, what’s really going on?" Xun Hui had always been confused.
"Dao Xuzi here is a Divine Doctor," Yang Ruxin spread her hands, "It’s his credit that you woke up..." saying this, she winked at Dao Xuzi, "He’s currently treating Gu Qingheng, and he can cure Tianze’s illness too..."
Just as Dao Xuzi opened his mouth intending to deny that he had treated Xun Hui, he was kicked by Gu Qingheng beside him, so he had to shut his mouth.
"Thank you, senior," Fang Tianze still rose and bowed to Dao Xuzi.
"Don’t thank me, just thank your sister Ruxin..."
Fang Tianze turned to Yang Ruxin with a smile, his sister was indeed his lucky star.
"Amitabha," Xun Hui, who wasn’t thinking much, was just happy to hear that a Divine Doctor could treat their illnesses, "You should eat more, senior. Whatever you want to eat tomorrow, just say it, and let Xinxin cook for you. This girl’s culinary skills are really good..."
"That’s great, tomorrow I want to try something I’ve never had before..." The old man was instantly delighted at hearing this, "It’s something I’ve never eaten in these past few days..."
"Xinxin?" Xun Hui looked at her daughter.
Yang Ruxin blew a strand of hair from her forehead, realizing she had dug her own grave. However, she couldn’t refuse and just nodded, "Tomorrow, I’ll make two dishes I’ve never made before, Fish Balls in Broth and Caramelized Sweet Potatoes, how about that?"
Everyone turned to look at the old man.
The old man nodded eagerly, knowing from the names alone that he definitely hadn’t tried these dishes before, and he was already looking forward to it.
After the meal, Yang Ruxin followed Dao Xuzi’s request to the next room, witnessing for the first time how Dao Xuzi treated Gu Qingheng’s poisoning.
