"Me?" Shen Lingjiao was startled.
If it were usual, she would definitely refuse, perhaps even mock Wu Tian.
However, after witnessing Wu Tian's abilities, she no longer felt so resistant towards him and agreed.
Even Wu Tian was surprised by this. How could this willful and capricious woman suddenly become so obedient?
Nevertheless, Wu Tian didn't say anything and took Shen Lingjiao to Wang Shouyi's place.
Wang Shouyi was a renowned physician, so his home was quite spacious. His residence was a traditional courtyard house, filled with the aroma of medicinal herbs.
As soon as Wu Tian entered, he saw a young girl in the courtyard drying herbs.
This girl was wearing a light green long dress, with her long hair cascading down her back. Her appearance was elegant and her demeanor gentle, the kind of girl one might find in the Jiangnan water towns.
Such a girl was truly beautiful, the kind one usually only encounters in dreams, rarely seen in reality.
Upon seeing Wang Shouyi enter, the girl smiled slightly, "Grandpa, you're back."
Wang Shouyi nodded, then introduced Wu Tian to her, "This is my granddaughter, Wang Yuhe. She has been studying medicine with me since she was young."
Wu Tian nodded in greeting to Wang Yuhe. The moment Wang Yuhe saw Wu Tian, her usually pale and delicate face immediately flushed slightly.
Wu Tian's appearance perfectly matched her aesthetic. She found Wu Tian truly handsome, more so than any man she had ever met.
Wang Shouyi then introduced Wang Yuhe to Wu Tian, "Yuhe, this is my new master, Wu Tian. You should call him Shigung."
"What? This is Grandpa's new master?"
Upon hearing Wang Shouyi's words, Wang Yuhe's clear eyes were immediately filled with surprise.
Wu Tian said to Wang Shouyi with some helplessness, "It's fine if you call me master, but Yuhe really shouldn't. I feel quite awkward about it."
He smiled at Wang Yuhe, "Just call me Wu Tian. If you call me Shigung, I really can't bear it."
Wang Shouyi led Wu Tian and Shen Lingjiao to the pharmacy.
Upon arriving at the pharmacy, Wu Tian stated that such a small matter didn't require Wang Shouyi's help, so Wang Shouyi left the pharmacy.
Returning to the courtyard, Wang Shouyi saw that Wang Yuhe was no longer drying herbs and was still lost in thought.
As an experienced elder, he could easily discern Wang Yuhe's feelings.
He smiled and said, "What's wrong, my dear granddaughter? Do you have feelings for my master?"
Wang Yuhe's face turned even redder. She shyly replied, "Grandpa, what are you talking about?"
Wang Shouyi chuckled, "My dear granddaughter, although I am reluctant to see you fall in love with anyone else."
"But if it's my master, I would wholeheartedly approve. He is a truly miraculous divine doctor!"
"However, if you two were to end up together, our relationship would become quite complicated, wouldn't it?"
Listening to Wang Shouyi's somewhat teasing words, Wang Yuhe pursed her lips and didn't reply.
She just kept looking in the direction of the pharmacy, her beautiful eyes seeming to shimmer with a faint light.
...
"Hey, Wu Tian, what exactly are you?"
In the pharmacy, Shen Lingjiao asked Wu Tian as he was preparing medicine.
Wu Tian paused slightly, then asked back, "Why do you ask?"
In fact, Shen Lingjiao herself didn't know why she asked.
She was simply suddenly curious about Wu Tian and asked.
Now, faced with Wu Tian's question, she didn't know how to answer and simply waved her hand, saying:
"Oh, just answer me when I ask you, why do you need to ask me why?"
Wu Tian found this woman quite amusing. Previously, she couldn't wait to stay five hundred meters away from him, and now she was asking him all sorts of questions.
He casually replied, "What else could I be? You already know, I'm just a village doctor!"
"You're lying!" Shen Lingjiao stared at him intently. "I don't believe a village doctor can be this capable. Are you hiding something from me?"
Wu Tian found it even stranger and asked again, "No, what are you talking about? What does it matter to you how I am? Why are you asking so much?"
Hearing Wu Tian's tone, Shen Lingjiao's innate temper of a pampered young lady flared up.
She put her hands on her hips, her face displeased, and said, "What kind of attitude is that! I'm just asking you, is there a problem with that?"
"You're getting so close to my father now, it's only natural for me to understand you!"
Wu Tian had finished preparing the medicine and placed a dose in a clay pot to decoct. He casually said,
"You'd better not try to understand me. There's nothing more to say between us."
"You don't like me, and I don't like you. It's better to say fewer words to avoid another argument."
Shen Lingjiao thought to herself, I've already lowered myself to speak to you properly, and this is the attitude you give me! What do you mean by this!
She felt very dissatisfied and frowned, saying, "You! You're just too detestable!"
"Who do you think you are? Why are you talking to me like this! You're going too far!"
Wu Tian glanced at Shen Lingjiao, "Ask, ask, ask what? Instead of asking me so much, you'd be better off paying more attention to yourself."
"I think you should have noticed it too. For the past few days, haven't you been feeling uncomfortable in your buttocks?"
Shen Lingjiao froze instantly. Her eyes flickered, and then she gritted her teeth and said, "You scoundrel! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Wu Tian shrugged, "Pretend I didn't say anything."
However, Wu Tian's words had already unsettled Shen Lingjiao.
Because, just as Wu Tian had said, she had been feeling a dull pain in her buttocks for the past few days but couldn't find the cause.
Out of concern for herself, she couldn't put this matter aside. After hesitating for a moment, she cautiously asked,
"Hey... what have you noticed?"
Seeing Shen Lingjiao's tentative demeanor, Wu Tian found it somewhat amusing.
He smiled and said, "Didn't you just say I was talking nonsense? Why are you asking me now?"
Shen Lingjiao's pretty face turned red. She thought to herself, this guy is such a straight-laced man!
But she still felt a bit scared, so she could only say proudly, "Don't get smug. I am indeed a bit uncomfortable, but I'm just asking for your opinion."
"My body is very healthy, so no matter what, there won't be any major problems."
"No major problems?" Wu Tian laughed. "Aren't you a bit too confident in yourself?"
"Let me tell you, right now it's just a sore buttock, but in at most a week, your buttocks will rot away!"
"What did you say?!"
Wu Tian's words struck Shen Lingjiao's ears like thunder.
She widened her eyes and said, "Hey, you can't just say things like that! I'm not easily scared!"
