Chapter 1394: Feed him mute medicine

"The Master seems to have changed."

Medical Official Mu held a small teapot and said solemnly.

Chen Guanlou spread his arms. "Changed? I am still the same."

"No, no, no, I don't mean the Master's appearance has changed. It's that the Master seems more confident."

Medical Official Mu carefully considered his wording.

"That's right, just more confident."

He was incomparably certain.

Chen Guanlou raised an eyebrow. "Is it that obvious?"

Medical Official Mu nodded and then shook his head. "It's not obvious. Because I know the Master too well, so I can discover even subtle changes. Did the Master seize an opportunity?" he asked in a low voice.

Chen Guanlou laughed heartily. "That's right, I did seize an opportunity and had some small gains."

He called advancing to the Grandmaster realm a "small gain." If others knew this, they would be furious.

How many people exhaust their whole lives and still cannot touch the Grandmaster realm, yet he calls it a small gain. Who exactly is he mocking?

"Congratulations, Master. After a year away, you finally have some gains."

"My luck is not bad." Chen Guanlou was quite proud. In front of his own people, there was no need to hide it; he was indeed very proud. What he was even prouder of was that he successfully hid his cultivation, and no one knew he was now a Grandmaster.

Haha, it's truly refreshing!

There is a sense of satisfaction in playing the pig to eat the tiger.

"Old Mu, you've been doing alright this year, haven't you?"

"I'm the same as always. The Taiyi Academy looked for me twice to see patients for nobles."

"Another surgery?"

"No! It was internal medicine."

"Those old guys at the Taiyi Academy are best at internal medicine; do they still need your help?"

"Because they are all cowards who don't dare to use strong medicine. They can only let me come forward to use strong medicine; if something goes wrong, I take the blame."

"It looks like they didn't succeed; you cured the patient."

Medical Official Mu nodded, his expression a bit proud. "I've been in the Heavenly Prison for decades; I didn't spend it in vain. The patients I've handled and the difficult and complicated diseases I've treated are ten or a hundred times more than theirs. No matter how high their medical skills are or how well they've learned, it's a pity they lack practical experience and don't dare to use medicine boldly. Sooner or later, medical skills will be cut off in the hands of their juniors; each generation is worse than the last."

Medical skill relies on a large amount of practice to accumulate experience, and then turning experience into medical theory; even if one cannot establish a sect, one can pass it down through the family.

Generation after generation of imperial physicians, without enough medical experience, only enough experience to save their own lives, is not enough. Sooner or later, they will be slapped to death by the waves behind.

Chen Guanlou offered his congratulations.

He flipped through official documents casually, signed a few files, and then returned to his life of slacking off.

After enjoying himself for just two days, the Yuquan Palace sent someone to the Heavenly Prison to collect a debt.

Chen Guanlou was stunned.

Pure Yang Zhenren is truly obsessed with money!

He didn't ask how he was, didn't care about his experiences in the Great Wilderness, and only knew how to ask for money.

How unreasonable.

It's a pity he even regarded the other party as a brother from a different father and mother.

This is going too far!

He scolded angrily, "What debt? What debt are you collecting? Go back and tell Pure Yang Zhenren that the moment I stepped into the Great Wilderness domain, the accounts were cleared. If he doesn't understand, you just need to tell him four words: 'Everyone is a villain!'"

The debt-collecting Daoist looked embarrassed. "Warden Chen, if you do this, we won't be able to report back."

"Just say it according to my words. If Pure Yang Zhenren is not convinced, tell him to come find me. I will sweep the bed to welcome him!" Chen Guanlou was solemn.

Anyway, he definitely wouldn't give those eight thousand taels!

"How about this, Warden Chen, write a slip so we can at least have something to say in front of the Master. Otherwise, if we go back empty-handed, the Master won't believe us."

Chen Guanlou nodded, not making things difficult for the debt-collecting Daoist. He wrote a slip and handed it to the other party.

"Tell your Master that I have wine; if he has time, I'll invite him for a drink. Fine wine and beautiful women, happiness without bounds."

The two debt-collecting Daoists were even more embarrassed, turned around, and hurried away from the Heavenly Prison.

Soon, the news that Warden Chen owed money and wouldn't pay spread throughout the Heavenly Prison.

Who let it out?

Of course, it was the big mouth Mu Qingshan.

Chen Guanlou was very unhappy and called Medical Official Mu. "I'll leave him to you to deal with; you must deal with him severely. Spreading rumors about a superior—Old Mu, you should explain to him what kind of crime this is."

"I didn't spread rumors!" Mu Qingshan was unconvinced. He just said a truth; who knew that group of people would pass it around, and everyone would know Warden Chen owed money and wouldn't pay, becoming a deadbeat.

He really just muttered it casually, but underestimated the speed of gossip spreading. When men gossip, there's really nothing for women to do.

"You still dare to open your mouth!" Without Chen Guanlou having to do anything, Medical Official Mu jumped up and slapped Mu Qingshan on the head. "Hurry up and apologize to the Master and explain things clearly. Whether you were intentional or unintentional, the Master's affairs are not something you can discuss casually."

Medical Official Mu hated that he couldn't make him better.

Immediately after, he discussed with Chen Guanlou, "Master, how about this, I'll feed him mute medicine for a month. Let him know how serious things are."

Chen Guanlou said hypocritically, "That might not be very good."

"No! He should be punished like this. The Master was too lenient with him before, indulging him until he was lawless, even daring to discuss the Master's private affairs, and spreading it until everyone in the Heavenly Prison knew. He must be fed mute medicine."

Chen Guanlou nodded, very much in agreement.

"Fine, feed him mute medicine for a month."

"Uncle, I am your own nephew, and you want to feed me mute medicine. Do you still have any humanity?" Mu Qingshan felt it was absurd and shouted.

"I am humanity!" Medical Official Mu slapped Mu Qingshan on the head and face one after another, so angry he couldn't speak, and he still wanted to talk to him about humanity. What a fool.

He dragged him away from the office, took him to the side room, and closed the door to talk.

"If I say you're stupid, you're really stupid. Is the Master short of money? The Master is rich; a mere few thousand taels, he could take out easily. Why does he still owe money? That's the Master playing a game of wits with Pure Yang Zhenren; we outsiders don't need to get involved. You, on the other hand, actually discussed the Master owing money and not paying in front of everyone in the signing room, so that everyone knew about this. If it weren't for your surname being Mu, you would either be rolling back to eat your own food or already be in prison. If it were anyone else as warden, just based on this mouth of yours, you wouldn't have lived until today."

Medical Official Mu was heartbroken.

After so many years, why couldn't he learn, his mouth always faster than his brain.

Sigh!

It's infuriating!

He really is a blockhead. Can't learn medicine, can't study, and being a secretary is only half-baked. Accomplished nothing!

If it weren't for the surname Mu, he would have starved to death long ago!

"The Master won't kill me!" Mu Qingshan said firmly.

"Just because the Master won't kill you, you can unscrupulously gossip about the Master?" Medical Official Mu scolded angrily. "He is the superior, you are the inferior! Superior and inferior have order; do I still need to teach you this principle? Come, eat this medicine."

"You're really feeding me mute medicine?" Mu Qingshan collapsed.

"Do you think it's fake? If I don't feed you mute medicine, you'll have to go back and eat your own food; you choose. Your parents are gone; try to be a bit more promising."

Mu Qingshan's expression was ugly; he struggled for a long time, thinking of Meimei and Juanjuan in the flower building... so many girls waiting for him to help, he absolutely couldn't lose this job in the Heavenly Prison.

Therefore, he decisively swallowed the mute medicine and tried to keep his mouth shut for a month. ===== CHAPTER 1395 =====
