Chapter 837: Chapter 837: Martial Uncle
"You want to see the prescription?"
Li Feng looked at Wu Qi with an amused smile.
"Yes, I have to be responsible for you. After all, I’m working here now, and I’m in charge of the medical affairs here. You are the owner of No. 1 Courtyard, so I naturally have to be responsible for you."
"You need to be responsible for me?"
Li Feng laughed as he looked at Wu Qi, who was reminded of how he had seen everything earlier.
"Can you not overthink it? This is purely a doctor’s responsibility."
"The heart of a doctor is like that of a parent. Don’t you know that? Moreover, you’re paying me a salary right now." Wu Qi explained, a blush appearing on her cheeks.
"Are you afraid of seeing a doctor?"
"Are you having kidney issues?"
"It’s a common problem among men, I understand, but that’s precisely why you should let me see the prescription. Sometimes, you can’t just treat illnesses carelessly, you know? Especially with traditional medicine. The same prescription with different dosages can lead to two completely different results."
"Although I don’t know who diagnosed your illness and wrote your prescription, I can responsibly tell you that the effects of this medicine bath may not be as amazing as advertised."
"My teacher, Professor Zhang Wenzhong, is an authority in traditional medicine, and I have been pursuing studies in traditional pharmacology, so I have some say in this."
Wu Qi adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose with confidence about her knowledge in traditional medicine.
She came from a family of traditional medicine practitioners, having studied medicine with her family since childhood. As an adult, she directly enrolled in Sea City’s Medical University, and now she is under Professor Zhang Wenzhong’s mentorship. In traditional medicine, she is a force to be reckoned with.
Li Feng raised his eyes to look at the confident Wu Qi.
"I diagnosed my own illness, and I wrote my own prescription. As for looking at the prescription, that’s unnecessary. You just need to manage this Medicine King Pavilion well."
Upon hearing Li Feng’s words, Wu Qi widened her eyes: "You diagnosed your own illness and wrote your own prescription? Did I hear that right?"
"Are you so afraid of seeing a doctor that you went this far? Are you not just having kidney issues?"
"Li Feng, I’m telling you, in times like these, you can’t just tough it out on your own, thinking you can handle it by searching online for some remedies. That’s very dangerous."
"If treating an illness were that simple, what are doctors for?"
"I’m not sick!"
Li Feng looked at Wu Qi.
Wu Qi was determined not to give in: "I understand you don’t want anyone to know, but if you’re sick, you need treatment. This is your home, only the heavens, the earth, you, and I know—absolutely no third person will know. I can assure you, I will not reveal any of your personal information. If there’s the slightest leak, you can deal with me however you wish."
"Looks like I have no choice but to be sick."
Wu Qi gave a little cough: "Whether you’re sick or not is not up to you to decide, but a doctor."
"Wang Fatty, if you’re here, roll in now."
Li Feng didn’t waste any more time arguing with this woman and shouted toward the bathroom door. Upon hearing this, Wang Qian hurriedly pushed the door open and ran in.
"Young Master Feng, I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop outside."
"Take her away from me."
Arguing with a woman is indeed thankless, even if the other party is a female Ph.D.
Wu Qi wasn’t about to give up, she directly pushed Wang Qian away: "Boss Wang, you specifically hired me as a doctor. When I arrived, you said that this Medicine King Pavilion would be left to me, and any big or small illnesses within the No. 1 Courtyard were to be handled by me, didn’t you say that?"
"He’s sick and is here in the Medicine King Pavilion; shouldn’t I treat him?"
"After all, he’s still paying me. Taking money for doing a job is the least one can do."
At this point, the more Li Feng resisted, the more Wu Qi wanted to treat him, not just out of professional ethics, but because that’s just how she felt.
Especially since he had just seen her body.
Wang Qian looked at the persistent Wu Qi; her words were not entirely wrong, but it depends on who they’re about.
"Dr. Wu, you might have misunderstood something."
"What misunderstand?"
Wu Qi looked at Wang Qian.
Wang Qian took a deep breath and said, "Dr. Wu, you were originally hired to assist with miscellaneous tasks, seeing a small illness or accident wasn’t a problem since you’d be idle anyway, but this does not include Young Master Feng."
"Do you think my medical skills are not enough?"
"Not qualified?"
"Lack the credentials?"
Wu Qi felt insulted.
Wang Qian looked at Wu Qi and nodded, "You’re indeed not qualified, and you don’t have the credentials."
Wu Qi gritted her teeth: "Fine, I quit, is that okay?"
"That’s fine."
"But let me clarify one thing, this is not to belittle you. Do you realize how remarkable our Young Master Feng’s medical skills are? His maternal grandfather is the renowned Xiao Old Divine Doctor, known as the Living Medical Immortal."
"In this world, in the field of traditional medicine, no one really qualifies to boast of superior medical skills in front of Young Master Feng, understand?"
"I’ll have the finance department settle your salary for this month, and you can leave."
Wang Qian didn’t make any attempt to retain her. Just listen to what this woman said earlier – did she actually say Young Master Feng has kidney issues?
You’re the one with issues, your whole family has issues.
Young Master Feng would never have such issues.
Wu Qi was stunned upon hearing Wang Qian’s words. She turned to look at Li Feng: "Are you the grandson of Xiao Old Divine Doctor?"
"Did you learn your medical skills from Xiao Old Divine Doctor?"
"My grandfather was once a disciple of Xiao Old Divine Doctor, and my traditional medicine skills were also learned from my grandfather."
Wu Qi knew very well about Xiao Old Divine Doctor; her grandfather had told her many stories about him. Her grandfather’s only regret before he passed away was not having a chance to meet Xiao Old Divine Doctor one more time.
When her grandfather was alive, he was considered a towering figure in the Ancient Medical World, and that old doctor was highly idolized by him. He even said he was merely a tenth as skilled as the other.
If considering lineage from her grandfather’s generation, Li Feng would actually be her martial uncle.
Li Feng shook his head.
"I haven’t heard my grandpa mention that."
Wu Qi said, "I know, Xiao Old Divine Doctor had countless students throughout his life. My grandfather was just one of them, but he once told me that if I ever had the chance to meet Xiao Old Divine Doctor, I must greet him with the respect of a grandmaster."
"From the perspective of lineage, you should be considered my martial uncle."
Li Feng looked at Wu Qi.
"There’s no need to build that kind of relationship."
"No, this isn’t about building connections, and it’s not for your money. I truly admire Xiao Old Divine Doctor."
"Martial Uncle, is this prescription left by Xiao Old Divine Doctor?"
"I spoke without thinking earlier; a prescription left by Xiao Old Divine Doctor must be extraordinary. Martial Uncle, I’m currently working on some pharmacology research topics, can you please help me?"
Wang Qian watched as Dr. Wu tried to ingratiate herself.
Could this really be the aloof traditional medicine female Ph.D. he knew?
Is she actually trying to act cute with Young Master Feng?
"Dr. Wu, you have been fired. Please leave; don’t force me to call for security."
