Chapter 57 Can't Afford to Lose



Chapter 57 Can't Afford to Lose

Doctor Qin looked at his son with displeasure, and Qin Shu immediately lowered his head, sheepishly admitting his mistake.

"Master, your disciple knows his mistake."

Doctor Qin treated A Liang's wound and wrote down a prescription. Yang Biao immediately went to find someone to get the medicine.

Doctor Qin gave a few instructions, then asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Master Yang, where did that little miracle doctor go?"

"The young divine physician entrusted our escort agency to transport the team to Lingnan. I will personally lead the team there tomorrow. If Doctor Qin wishes to see the young divine physician, I, Yang, can introduce him to him."

Doctor Qin had saved Yang Biao's wife, and the Zhenyuan Escort Agency was almost always willing to grant him any request.

"Thank you for your trouble."

"I'm just a little curious, what exactly are these Thirteen Needles of the Ancient Gate?"

Qin Shu was arrogant and haughty. Apart from his master, who was also his father, Yang Biao had never seen him show a kind face to anyone.

"The Thirteen Needles of the Ancient School are acupuncture techniques passed down through the Medicine King Valley. They are known for their ability to bring the dead back to life, and have always been used only by those who have mastered this technique."

Only those who are qualified are eligible to sit in the position of Valley Master of Medicine King Valley. Last month, I, Qin, met with Brother Pei, and he was still troubled by this.

He said that among his disciples of this generation, not a single one could master the Thirteen Needles of the Ancient School. He was worried that even after he passed away...

This acupuncture technique was on the verge of being lost! I never imagined that in just over a month, Brother Pei would have a disciple who had already learned it!

Doctor Qin was filled with relief, happy that Medicine King Valley had a worthy successor.

"Even the old Valley Master's top disciple, Young Master Xian, hasn't learned it?"

Yang Biao was shocked.

The young master of the Xian family is a renowned medical genius in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even the imperial physicians in the palace praise him highly.

Rumors are circulating that the old valley master has already begun to groom him as his successor.

"Although the young master of the Xian family is talented, he has never quite grasped the essence of this acupuncture technique. However, just now, Master Yang said that the little genius doctor is only five years old?"

Suddenly, Dr. Qin realized that something felt off.

Medicine King Valley has never had a five-year-old schoolchild!

"Yes, she looks about four or five years old, but I think it's unlikely that she is the Valley Master's disciple, because she is the current Princess Jinglan."

"What?!"

Doctor Qin stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Is there really a needle technique in this world that can rival the Thirteen Needles of the Ancient School?

Even more remarkably, the person who knows this acupuncture technique is perhaps an extraordinary genius!

Meanwhile, Yun Chushi, a prodigy, was wandering around with his uncle.

"Second Uncle, where exactly do you want to go?"

Yun Zhao was a little tired. Even though he hadn't suffered much hardship on the road to exile, his five-year-old body was already exhausted from running around all day.

Not hearing Xu Yinan's reply, Yun Zhao looked up at his uncle.

"Isn't it time we agreed to meet Brother Jingchen?"

At this moment, Xu Yinan finally stopped.

However, instead of returning to the inn, he went to the entrance of the gambling house.

Yun Zhao: ...

No, my dear uncle, you're in exile now, and you're really treating this like a spring outing?

"Second Uncle, where is this?"

"This is where you can make money."

The word "gambling house" just wouldn't come out.

On the way to exile, Xu Yinan was afraid that his little niece would be disappointed in him when they went to the gambling den.

Zhi Xia, who was following at a distance, frowned deeply.

Would the second young master really be so absurd as to bring the young lady in?

The next moment, Xu Yinan actually stepped inside!

Zhixia:!

Upon entering the casino, a constant cacophony of noise filled the air, including numerous swear words.

Although Yangguan County is not large, it is a key transit point for caravans.

With many caravans passing by, there were naturally many people coming in as well.

They come from all over the world; there are all sorts of people among them.

But there has never been a baby.

With eyes drawn from all directions, Xu Yinan openly led Yun Zhao to the designated spot for buying large and small items.

"Zhaozhao, are you going to bet on big or small?"

Everyone laughed when they heard what he said.

"Young master, the baby should go home and be nursed. This is not a place for a baby!"

"What, you have a rule that children under fifteen can't come?"

Xu Yinan glanced at the dealer, leaving him speechless.

Yun Zhao hugged Xu Yinan's neck and remained silent for a while: "Second Uncle, can we just buy a tiny bit?"

"Okay, whatever Zhaozhao says, that's what we'll do!"

"Then I'll buy the big one, five taels of silver!"

Yun Zhao held up her little hand and made a five, and Xu Yinan did the same.

Who knew that before the onlookers could laugh for long, the result actually turned out to be huge!

A man bringing a baby into a casino is already quite eye-catching.

After Xu Yinan won five rounds in a row, everyone in the casino crowded around.

The unusual activity at the gambling den naturally did not escape the owner's notice.

"Are you kidding me? Who would be so absurd as to bring a five-year-old child into a gambling den?"

"Master, how could I dare to lie to you?"

When his subordinates said this, the casino owner began to have doubts.

Although this amount of money was not enough to shake the gambling house, he was quite curious about this five-year-old child.

"Invite them over and say, 'The master invites you.'"

"yes."

Before his men had even left, the boss added, "Be polite."

When the gambling den's people came looking for him, Xu Yinan had just won again.

"Young master, our master invites you in."

Yun Zhao's heart sank, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on Xu Yinan's sleeve.

Xu Yinan nodded calmly: "Lead the way."

The others watched them leave with some regret.

"Oh dear, I'm too late! I can't get rich with the little God of Wealth now!"

Yun Zhao listened to their words and then glanced at his second uncle.

Xu Yinan's expression was so calm, as if he had expected that they would be invited by their employer.

After turning a few corners, the noise was silenced, and only the sound of footsteps could be heard in the narrow corridor.

Finally, the group stopped outside a door, where the guards suddenly stopped them again.

"The host has guests."

Do they invite guests over?

Yun Zhao rolled his eyes and began to rub them.

"Uncle, I'm sleepy~"

Xu Yinan blinked and quickly understood.

"Then let's go home."

He glanced at the man leading the way and said with a half-smile, "You're not sore losers, are you? You're planning to keep us here and not let us leave, are you?"

The person leading the way frowned slightly, his expression somewhat displeased.

"Of course not, but..."

"That's fine then. My little one is sleepy and doesn't want to play with you anymore~"

Xu Yinan was indeed a spoiled brat, displaying his arrogance and domineering nature to the fullest extent.

The people at the gambling house are used to this kind of person who loses sight of themselves after making money.

"We need to consult with our employer."

I knocked gently on the door, and it took quite a while before there was a response.

"how?"

"Master, the person you wanted to see has been brought, but the child is too sleepy and is clamoring to go back."

"Let's wait!"

The people inside are probably important figures; the other party refuses to let them go, yet also refuses to see them immediately.

The uncle and nephew exchanged a glance, and Yun Zhao burst into tears.

"Waaaaah, I want to go home! I'm so sleepy! Uncle, I want to go home!"

The girl's cries were particularly shrill, amplifying dramatically in the hallway.

The person inside probably couldn't take it anymore and suddenly pulled the door open.

"It's so noisy!"

The landlord had a long scar on his face, running from his right eye to below his left ear, like a centipede crawling across his face.

Afraid of frightening Yun Zhao, Xu Yinan quickly covered her eyes.

Yun Zhao continued to cry and shout, peering inside through her hand.

There was a person sitting in the room, with two guards standing beside him.

The person sitting there had their face swollen like a pig's head, making it impossible to recognize them.

But Yun Zhao knew who he was, and in her surprise, she immediately forgot about pretending to cry.

The guards standing nearby immediately stepped in front of the pig's head and shouted sternly, "Insolence!"
