She had never come across such a difficult disciple. Over the past three days, she didn’t know how many strands of hair Jiang Zuo had caused her to lose out of frustration.
Meanwhile, outside...
"Zhong You, aren’t you going to go in and check on them?"
Zhe Jue and Zhen Wu, both watching Zhong You, who was leisurely sorting medicinal herbs in the courtyard, asked in unison.
What was going on here? Although the headmistress was primarily teaching Jiang Zuo and Zhong You was merely along for the ride, Zhong You had already successfully graduated and had been reading medicine books and sorting out herbs for a day and a half.
And yet Jiang Zuo was still being chastised by the headmistress in the pharmacy.
"Why should I go in, just to witness Jiang Zuo’s hands full of bloody punctures?" Zhong You looked up and glanced at them.
Following his master and watching Jiang Zuo learn the golden needle pain relief method, not even the master herself, let alone him watching Jiang Zuo’s techniques, was incredibly anxious, wishing to give him a kick straight away.
So, it’s best if he didn’t disturb Jiang Zuo... while he was being reprimanded, as usual.
"Zhong You, would you mind telling us about how you learned the golden needle pain relief method?" They were very curious and asked Zhong You.
Why would Jiang Zuo, who they viewed as a reputable doctor, be stumped by a set of acupuncture techniques? Over the past few days, all they’ve heard is the headmistress chastising Jiang Zuo.
"It’s pretty simple."
Zhong You spoke casually as he continued sorting through the medicinal herbs.
"What do you mean, simple?"
Zhe Jue became highly interested and immediately asked.
"As long as you’re not scared of death, you could practice on yourself for three to five years, stabbing your own acupuncture points. With enough practice, you too could learn." Said Zhong You.
Both of them swallowed hard, looking at Zhong You as though he were a monster.
Practicing on one’s own acupuncture points for three to five years! They were stunned that Zhong You could actually suggest such a thing. Were they to casually stab their acupuncture points? That could kill a person!
"Is everything ready?"
Just as they were about to speak, they heard the voice of their clan leader.
"Leader, everything is prepared, but... it seems like Jiang Zuo hasn’t..."
A loud noise interrupted Zhen Wu’s words. All they saw was Lin Caisang storming out in anger with Jiang Zuo, who looked like a wronged concubine, following behind her.
"Brother Molian, I’ve made up my mind!"
She stood by Ya Molian, speaking through her gritted teeth.
Ya Molian quirked an eyebrow, looking at her, who was full of rage but still looked utterly adorable at this moment.
"What have you decided?"
As expected, Jiang Zuo had trouble learning the acupuncture technique, but he hadn’t anticipated just how clumsy Jiang Zuo could be!
"I’ve decided... you should take... him away!"
Lin Caisang took a deep breath, raised her hand to point at Zhong You, who had just put down the medical herbs, and was standing up to look at his master.
Looking completely baffled, Zhong You pointed at himself, looked at Ya Molian and everyone else, then back at his master.
"Master, are you talking about me?"
Lin Caisang answered with absolute certainty.
She had decided to give up on Jiang Zuo altogether. He couldn’t even manipulate his own hands properly, and blamed it on her!
"Zhong You, this time you will follow Brother Molian to Shaohua City. I’ll prepare some more medical books for you to read in your spare time. Plus, Brother Molian will also take Jiang Zuo. You should follow him and let him pass on all his medical knowledge to you."
Upon hearing Lin Caisang’s words, Jiang Zuo almost jumped up on the spot.
