Chapter 120: So It’s You, Master

"Qin Tian, your brother seems to be ill."

Qin Tian had just returned from Jia Ren’s place. As soon as he stepped through the door, he heard Jiang Yingying say this to him, which startled him. He hurried to the room to check on Tang Bo’s condition.

Qin Tian touched Tang Bo’s forehead—there was a slight fever. He then took his pulse and found that the condition of his internal organs was not very good.

Tang Bo had barely eaten anything these past few days; the lack of nutrition naturally affected his organs. This wasn’t surprising.

However, this was still an illness that needed treatment. It wasn’t a matter of simply eating a lot to recover; he needed medicinal assistance.

But Qin Tian had no herbs on hand, so it seemed they had no choice but to go to the hospital.

“Xiao Bo, I’ll take you to the hospital.” Qin Tian gently patted Tang Bo’s chest.

“Hmm? Pretty solid,” Qin Tian couldn’t help but pat him a few more times.

Tang Bo didn’t react. Frustrated, Qin Tian had no choice but to carry the over two-hundred-pound heavyset man on his back and rush toward the hospital.

Qin Tian didn’t choose the school clinic since their medicinal supplies were limited. He planned to go straight to Tongyang City Hospital.

On the way, however, Qin Tian unexpectedly spotted a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. Perfect—the clinic would surely have sufficient herbs.

The clinic was quite busy. Qin Tian registered and waited for over an hour before it was his turn.

“Is this Tang Bo, male, eighteen?” a young doctor pointed at the listless Tang Bo.

“Yes, that’s him,” Qin Tian nodded.

“What seems to be the problem?” The young doctor examined Tang Bo and suspected weakness but still asked.

“Just give me some herbs—ephedra, kudzu root…” Qin Tian recited a long list.

The young doctor’s eyes widened, then he frowned with displeasure. “Who’s the doctor here—you or me? Don’t think you know everything just because you looked up some prescriptions online!”

Sun Yuebin despised people like this—those who arrogantly thought they understood medicine after a bit of online research. Who was really treating whom? If you already knew everything, why come to see me?

“I do understand medicine; I just don’t have the herbs,” Qin Tian frowned slightly but understood Sun Yuebin’s feelings. Doctors generally dislike being second-guessed.

“You understand medicine? From what I see, your friend just has a mild fever. Why do you need ephedra and kudzu root? A bowl of ginger soup and a night wrapped up in blankets will do,” Sun Yuebin scoffed.

“His internal organs are somewhat weak; ginger soup won’t suffice,” Qin Tian shook his head.

“Oh?” Sun Yuebin took Tang Bo’s pulse, his expression darkening upon confirming Qin Tian’s diagnosis.

Weakness of the internal organs is usually invisible to most because these organs are hidden inside the body. You’d need X-ray vision and medical knowledge to detect such problems.

Only traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, through pulse diagnosis, can discern the weakness of internal organs.

It seemed Qin Tian did have some skill!

“So what if that’s true? I’m the doctor here. You’ll follow my prescription! It’s not whatever you say!” Sun Yuebin snorted coldly and wrote another prescription.

Qin Tian looked at the prescription and frowned slightly. The prescription was fine but required drinking the medicine for three more days.

According to Qin Tian’s earlier formula, one day of treatment would nearly suffice.

“Physicians should be benevolent!” Qin Tian narrowed his eyes in warning. It was obvious Sun Yuebin was sulking.

People who refuse to acknowledge others’ strengths are the most annoying!

“I’ve already written a prescription!” Sun Yuebin smiled faintly.

Without further words, Qin Tian took a blank prescription sheet, rapidly wrote a long list of herbs, and slammed it on the table.

“Sign and stamp it!” Qin Tian demanded loudly.

He wanted to handle things gently, but there were always careless fools provoking him.

“What? Medical dispute?” Sun Yuebin calmly looked at Qin Tian.

“I’m only doing what’s right. I don’t want trouble, but I don’t fear it either,” Qin Tian said expressionlessly.

If this were Wushi City, Qin Tian might have gone into the mountains to collect herbs himself, but here in Tongyang City, there wasn’t even a contiguous field to forage—where would he gather herbs?

“Security! Come here! We have a medical dispute!” Sun Yuebin immediately called for security.

“You brat! Don’t you know whose place this is? The Sun family’s clinic! We won’t tolerate your nonsense!” Sun Yuebin sneered.

Bang!

In no time, four burly security guards pushed through the door.

“Who’s causing trouble here?” The leader barked.

“It’s them!” Sun Yuebin pointed at Qin Tian and Tang Bo.

“Oh?” The lead guard looked disdainfully at Qin Tian’s thin frame. This skinny guy should be an easy one-hand takedown.

“Causing trouble, huh?” The guard reached out to grab Qin Tian.

Qin Tian shifted his body and swiftly delivered a front kick between the guard’s legs with his right leg, applying sudden force.

Bang!

The guard was knocked down by a single move!

On the ground, the guard was stunned—he couldn’t believe he was felled so easily.

“Kid, are you a martial artist?” The guard got up, eyeing Qin Tian warily.

“I’m not here to cause trouble or fight. I just want my medicine and to leave,” Qin Tian said flatly.

“Causing trouble on the Sun family’s turf and still want to leave? You really have wild dreams!” Sun Yuebin leisurely sat back, amused by the scene.

Eventually, the guards charged.

Qin Tian had no choice but to fight back. In less than a minute, he subdued all four guards.

Sun Yuebin’s eyes widened in alarm.

“What do you want? Don’t act recklessly! This is the Sun family’s clinic, and you can’t afford to offend them!” Sun Yuebin warned anxiously as Qin Tian advanced.

“I hate being threatened!” Qin Tian slammed his hand on the table, frightening Sun Yuebin so much he slid off his seat.

“If you mess with the Sun family, you’ll regret it for life! Your family and you will be finished!” Sun Yuebin crouched, forcing a brave face.

“You still dare threaten me? I don’t care if it’s the Sun family or the Li family! Just because you have a bit of power doesn’t mean you can bully others!” Qin Tian sneered.

“What’s so great about the Sun family? Let me teach you a lesson!” Repeated provocations had finally enraged Qin Tian.

“What’s so great about the Sun family? Such arrogance! Let me tell you what really makes the Sun family ‘great’!”

At that moment, an aged voice sounded at the door, followed by a cold snort.

Qin Tian found the voice somewhat familiar and slowly turned his head, eyes widening.

Sun Simin saw the familiar young face, froze momentarily, then widened his eyes and felt embarrassed for having just spoken so brusquely to Qin Tian.

“Master! So it’s you!” Sun Simin immediately rubbed his hands awkwardly.
