The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

Chu Qianqiu replied, looking into the woman's eyes with a calm heart.

"How could that be?"

"You, sir, have mastered the art of medicine and are capable of saving lives. Your medical skills must be superior to mine."

Qing Lian naturally did not believe this and thought the other party was being modest, but then she realized something.

"Oh, it was my offense."

"I shouldn't have been so anxious to seek your guidance in medicine. After all, it is our respective means of livelihood. Spreading it outside would only invite trouble."

"I was impulsive just now and didn't think too much. Please forgive me, sir."

As she said this, Qing Lian stood up and bowed deeply in apology.

She slightly bent her body, emitting a faint fragrance of orchids, the scent of a virgin.

Chu Qianqiu fell silent for a moment, neither confirming nor denying.

If he were to raise his head now, he would be able to see the beautiful spring scenery, the hidden clouds and the peach blossoms.

Of course, he didn't dare to look, as it would tarnish the girl's innocence.

From their conversation just now to her actions now, Chu Qianqiu could roughly infer that Qing Lian was probably an innocent young girl without much scheming.

She seemed to be a pure enthusiast of the medical path, usually only interacting with patients and having fewer conversations with men of the same age. That's why she occasionally liked to bow to others, showing a bit of shyness.

After understanding this, Chu Qianqiu finally raised his head slightly, looking directly at Qing Lian's face, and smiled.

"I didn't mean that. I really don't have much medical skill."

"Because I only know how to refine medicine, and because of that, I can roughly understand the condition of some patients."

"You doctors use observation, smelling, questioning, and pulse-taking, but I only know how to observe."

"You doctors use acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and medicine, but I only know how to use medicine."

"So, I can't be considered a doctor. If you insist on me teaching you something today, it would probably only be the way of refining medicine."

...

He explained it very seriously and thoroughly.

Chu Qianqiu made it clear, the current situation, the difference between himself and Qing Lian.

After listening, Qing Lian was stunned for a while before straightening up.

"So, you are a legitimate alchemist."

"The path of alchemy cannot be achieved without a large number of herbs to practice with and without innate talent. It is difficult for ordinary people to achieve."

"So, asking you for guidance in the way of alchemy is meaningless."

"However, even though you modestly claim to be unfamiliar with the medical path, you are still an outstanding doctor. As long as you can heal, the path is the same."

"It's a pity that I can't learn more medical skills from you, and I have wasted some of your time."

"But sir, for you to patiently answer my questions, I am ashamed. Is there anything I can do to compensate you?"

Qing Lian clasped her hands, her beautiful eyes filled with seriousness, wanting to make it up to him.

Chu Qianqiu looked at the graceful figure of the girl, then glanced at her timid expression like a white rabbit, and smiled slightly, answering in his heart.

"Truly inexperienced in worldly matters, who would answer like this?"

"If it were someone else, wouldn't they seize the opportunity and ask you to offer yourself?"

Thinking this in his heart, Chu Qianqiu naturally wouldn't say this out loud. He thought of something else and spoke.

"Well... then in the future, we can cooperate more."

"You can heal and save lives, and I have excellent prescriptions."

"With our combined skills, we will be invincible in the world!"

"In the future, you can come to me to buy medicine, and I will give you a discount."

"You can promote my medicine to your patients and have them come here to find me?"

"How about it, can we do it?"

Chu Qianqiu asked, somewhat afraid that Qinglian would not agree.

To his surprise, Qinglian readily agreed without any hesitation.

"Master, I have this intention."

"Your medical prescriptions are so exquisite that even my patients who couldn't be cured by me have benefited from them, and their conditions have improved."

"In fact, I have been promoting your prescriptions to my patients, and they all know about it."

"So, you don't have to cooperate with me, because most of my patients already know about your pharmacy."

Qinglian said, with a subtle smile, intending to take her leave.

Chu Qianqiu hadn't seen such an honest person in a long time. Helping others promote without seeking anything in return truly moved him to tears.

So in the end, he decided to sell the prescriptions to Miss Qing at a lower price, without owing each other anything.

By the way, he got up to see her off, taking care of her as his main priority.

Outside the door, he saw an old man who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

When Qinglian saw the old man, she called him grandpa and helped him leave slowly.

"Is he your grandpa?" Chu Qianqiu curiously asked from behind.

"Yes, I have been an orphan since I was young and was raised by my grandpa. He also taught me medicine," Qinglian replied.

As they walked away, Qinglian declined Chu Qianqiu's offer to accompany her any further.

However, not long after they left, Chu Qianqiu heard a severe cough coming from the old man's mouth.

Following that, the old man's body trembled violently, and he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood on the street.

Qinglian supported him all the way, being very careful, and her figure looked lonely.

Some people on the street recognized Qinglian as a doctor, but seeing the old man's sickly appearance, they were worried about contagious diseases and hurriedly covered their noses and mouths as they walked away.

Looking into the distance, Chu Qianqiu frowned with concern.

He quickly realized the old man's condition and rushed over.

"You don't need to accompany us anymore, sir."

Seeing Chu Qianqiu approaching again, Qinglian naturally declined, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

On the crowded street, everyone avoided her, but only the young master dared to approach her, which touched her deeply. However, due to her shyness, she couldn't bring herself to speak up.

Chu Qianqiu focused his mind and carefully sensed the old man's breath, then came to a conclusion.

"I won't be wrong. It's the same as Mu Lao's condition, evil energy invading the body."

"Old man, how long have you had this illness?"

"Cough... I've had this illness for about thirty years."

The old man responded kindly to the young master, leaving a good impression on Chu Qianqiu.

"You may not believe it, but I am only in my fifties now, yet I am as weak as a skeleton, physically exhausted, like someone in their hundreds."

"Just taking a few steps makes me unable to stop coughing, sometimes coughing up blood."

"People around me think I have malaria, so they all leave when they see me. Only Qinglian takes care of me."

"Ah, child, where did you come from? Thank you for caring about me, but as an old man who is about to die, you don't have to worry too much."

"Cough... cough..."

The old man spoke, coughing up a few mouthfuls of clotted blood, looking like he could die at any moment.

Qinglian beside him was on the verge of tears, her trembling hands holding the medicine bag, comforting the old man.

"How could it be... Grandpa Qiu, you will definitely pull through."

"During these days, you have been lying in bed for too long. I let you come out for a walk, maybe that's why your body is not adapting well."

"I have already bought the immortal prescription from Master Chu. Try taking it when you go back, maybe your condition will improve."
