Chapter 7 Rescuing the Lady of Qingyun City

"Thank you, Lord City Lord. This is the heart-saving pill I just gave to my wife. Consider the five hundred taels as payment for my consultation and the medicine." Yan An handed the medicine bottle he had just taken out of his package to Lord Qing.

"I will teach Doctor Liu the acupuncture method in a moment. When the lady has an attack, she can take one pill. Combined with acupuncture, this will ensure that the lady and Lord Qingcheng can stay together for life."

When Doctor Liu heard that the miracle doctor was going to teach him the acupuncture technique he had just learned, he almost wanted to become his apprentice.

"I won't take on such an old apprentice." It wasn't that Yan An thought Doctor Liu was old, but rather that he saw that Doctor Liu's aptitude was mediocre and he didn't want to take him on as an apprentice. If others knew that Yan An thought this way, they would be furious. Doctor Liu was the best doctor in Qingyun City and even the surrounding towns.

Doctor Liu didn't mind. After all, he was over fifty years old and his medical skills were limited. How could he have passed the eyes of a genius doctor who was only a teenager? He had already gained a lot by being able to learn the acupuncture technique from the genius doctor.

After Professor Yan finished speaking to Dr. Liu, he prepared to turn and leave.

"Physician, please wait. Qingyun City is a beautiful place with lush mountains and numerous temples. May I stay for a few days so that you can experience the local customs and culture?"

"No, thank you for your kindness, Young Master Qing, but I have other matters to attend to." Yan An declined with a polite yet distant tone. Although Yan An admired dashing and debonair people, after meeting Yue Xiyuan, he felt that he was far inferior to Yue Xiyuan.

"I apologize for my intrusion. May I ask your esteemed name, Divine Physician? I will surely repay you in the future." A bittersweet feeling welled up in Qingyu's heart, and he asked, unwilling to give up. He believed that as long as he knew who she was, they would meet again in the future.

"Luo Zhi." Yan An mounted his horse and turned to leave.

“Yu’er, the divine physician Luo Zhi is highly skilled and her medical skills are superb. She is no ordinary girl and you cannot keep her here.”

The city lord's wife was an experienced woman, so how could she not see that her son had developed feelings for this girl he had only met once? It would be great if he could stay and become her daughter-in-law, but the girl was clearly not someone to be trifled with, so she felt it was best to nip this budding romance in the bud.

Qingyu clenched her hands tightly, remaining silent.

At this moment, Yan An was unaware of Qing Yu's feelings and, with five hundred taels in hand, headed towards the capital with a beaming smile.
