As Su Lijin ate the peach blossom cake, her anger subsided and a smile returned to her face.
Xiao Shengxing sighed slightly. Seeing that she was eating so fast that the whole bag of peach blossom cake was almost empty, he shook his head with amusement.
"By the way, I'm here to understand the people's sentiments for the Emperor, so it's time for me to go out and take a look."
Hearing this, Su Lijin raised her head from her food, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, since you have something to do, then go ahead and do it. We'll just meet up when the time comes."
"Then you should be careful about everything. It will only take me half a day."
"I see. As a grown-up like me, I can definitely take care of myself."
Seeing that he looked worried, Su Lijin deliberately showed off her wrist and said, "My kung fu is pretty good. I can go out on my own and it's safe. Master Guoyun doesn't need to worry too much."
"That's good."
After saying this briefly, Xiao Shengxing smiled, and without staying any longer, he turned around and disappeared in front of the gate of Yaoyue Palace.
The people from Yaoyue Palace had already gone to do their business, so Su Lijin had nothing to do here. Feeling a little bored, she decided to go for a walk.
The vendors along the street were selling food and daily necessities. She looked for a while and then walked to the door of a clinic.
She was just passing by and didn't care about what was happening in the clinic, but she didn't expect that someone's loud and sarcastic voice would reach her ears, causing her to stop in her tracks.
"What kind of disciple of a miracle doctor? Have you been deceived?"
"Go, go, go. I've never heard of any miracle doctor, let alone a miracle doctor's apprentice. Go away and don't disturb our clinic's business."
An apprentice in the clinic, wearing a doctor's smock, directly drove the patient out.
Su Lijin saw that the apprentice had an extremely sarcastic expression on his face, and it was clear that he disdained the titles of miracle doctor and miracle doctor's disciple.
The patient was driven out and was furious. He said, "Are you still a doctor? How can you be so rude and drive people away?"
The commotion here immediately attracted a lot of people to come and watch. Everyone pointed at a few people and talked about them.
"Oh, didn't you just say something about a disciple of a miracle doctor? Then go find that disciple of a miracle doctor to see you. I won't entertain you here!"
The apprentice put his hands on his hips, looking nonchalant.
"You actually chased people away..."
The patient was so angry that he took several rapid breaths in his chest, his face turned a little purple, and he sat on the ground, seemingly having difficulty breathing.
"Hurry up and leave! Don't sit here, or I'll really kick you out!"
But the apprentice watched and didn't care at all, and even drove the person away in a worse way, as if he was afraid that the person would fall ill at the door of the clinic.
“Stop it!”
Seeing that the patient might be in danger, Su Lijin glared at the apprentice with sharp eyes and stopped him from chasing the patient away.
"He's having trouble breathing. If we don't save him, his life may be in danger!"
"What does this have to do with me? I didn't say I would treat him. Let him find someone to treat him himself!" said the apprentice coldly.
"Is this what a doctor would say?" Su Lijin looked at him coldly.
After saying this, without caring about the apprentice's look, he immediately took out his silver needle and inserted it into the acupuncture point that opened up the lung qi.
Then, she gave the patient two more injections. After a while, the bruises on his face gradually improved and his breathing became smoother.
"You are such a kind person! Thank you for saving me. Your medical skills are really amazing. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would still be alive now."
Still feeling the lingering fear of the feeling of almost suffocating, the patient thanked Su Lijin with gratitude.
"It's okay. Just pay more attention to it on a daily basis. I'll prescribe some medicine for you later. It will gradually get better."
"Hey, you've come to our clinic to steal our business?"
Just as Su Lijin finished speaking, an extremely sarcastic and sharp voice sounded from the side.
She turned around and saw the apprentice who had just chased people away, staring at her with a dark face. The hostility in his eyes clearly told her that she had embarrassed him.
Su Lijin was puzzled by his look and thought to herself that she had only saved someone when he was just sitting there watching. What was there for him to mock her for?
"I think you're mistaken. I don't mean to steal your business."
She said calmly, "Just now you chased people away and didn't help them. I just saw injustice and saved their lives."
Her words were a normal description of the apprentice's shameful behavior, and they were all true.
There's not much to say about this kind of person.
For a moment, the other onlookers looked at the apprentice with accusatory eyes.
"What kind of medical apprentice is this? He's too cold."
"That's right. The man was almost suffocating just now, and he still wanted to chase him away. He is totally inhumane!"
"Who are you? Where did this liar come from?"
Being pointed at and criticized, the apprentice's face darkened even further. He glared at the woman in front of him and asked in a harsh tone, "You were just blindly treating the patient just now. I think it won't be long before this patient is killed by your treatment!"
Su Lijin sneered, "It doesn't matter who I am, but you couldn't see that the acupuncture method I just used is the basic method for treating lung obstruction, and you actually said that I was treating blindly. Then I have to question your medical skills."
"What basic acupuncture techniques? You're talking nonsense!" The apprentice's eyes flickered as he denied it flatly.
"Really? Am I talking nonsense, or are you just not well-trained and incompetent enough to understand the basic needlework, so you're just looking for an excuse to slander others?"
Her words immediately caused laughter from the others, and the continuous laughter stimulated the apprentice to feel angry.
"How dare you, a person of unknown origin, question the medical skills of my clinic's official apprentice?"
