Chapter 198

Seeing Shi Tianqi bowing to him, Ye Chen smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "Old Shi, you don't need to be so polite with me, and you don't need to call me Master Ye, just call me Ye Chen."

"How can that be!" Shi Tianqi hurriedly bowed and said, "Master Ye is a true dragon among men, how can I call the master by his name!"

Seeing that he was a bit stubborn about etiquette, Ye Chen didn't continue to persuade him, but said, "I heard that Gao Junwei and Xiao Yiqian both came to you yesterday?"

Shi Tianqi asked in surprise, "Master Ye, how do you know about this little thing?"

Chen Xiaozhao on the side stuck out her tongue and said, "Grandfather, I told Master Ye..."

Shi Tianqi hurriedly reprimanded, "You child! Master Ye is busy with many things, how can you disturb the master with such a small matter?"

Chen Xiaozhao felt a bit wronged.

The reason she called Ye Chen was not to claim credit for her grandfather, but to find an opportunity to talk to Ye Chen.

After all, she had long regarded Ye Chen as her idol, even more so than her grandfather, so she wanted to find an opportunity to have more contact with him, even if it was just a phone call.

However, she couldn't call without a topic, right?

So, she took the liberty to report yesterday's events to Ye Chen.

But she didn't expect her grandfather to scold her without saying a word.

Shi Tianqi was mainly worried that Ye Chen would misunderstand. After all, Chen Xiaozhao calling Ye Chen had a hint of claiming credit for himself, and he didn't want Ye Chen to misunderstand that he was someone who wanted to claim credit for everything.

Seeing Chen Xiaozhao's wronged face, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Old Shi, it's just a small matter, why blame Xiaozhao."

Shi Tianqi then hurriedly said, "I have made Master Ye laugh."

Ye Chen waved his hand and said lightly, "Old Shi, that Gao Junwei and that Xiao Yiqian have both offended me. Your refusal to treat them can be considered as giving me, Ye Chen, face. I have noted this favor."

Shi Tianqi hurriedly said, "Master Ye, you have given me the grace of rebirth. This little thing is just a part of my duty to share your worries and solve your problems. You don't need to be polite with me."

As he spoke, Shi Tianqi pointed to his Jishitang and said seriously, "I decided to stay in Jin Ling to open a medical clinic mainly to be able to listen to your orders at any time, Master Ye, and to have a chance to repay your kindness!"

Ye Chen smiled, "You have a heart."

After speaking, he took a pill out of his pocket, handed it to Shi Tianqi, and said, "Old Shi, the medicine I gave you before can heal injuries and strengthen the body. Although I haven't verified it specifically, according to ancient records, even a dying old man can live five to ten years longer by taking one divine medicine. So I give this pill to you, keep it with you, it might come in handy in the future."

Shi Tianqi looked at the pill, trembled all over, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said tremblingly, "Master Ye, I cannot accept this, Master Ye... You have already rewarded me with half a divine medicine last time, I haven't been able to repay your kindness yet, how can I accept such a great gift again..."

Chen Xiaozhao on the side saw her grandfather kneeling, so she also knelt on the ground with a thud. However, she was well-behaved, resting her slender hands on her knees, and looking at Ye Chen with her bright, shy, yet bold eyes.

Ye Chen had given divine medicine to a few people. Although these people knew that the divine medicine was extremely precious, the one who knew its value best was Shi Tianqi.

First of all, Shi Tianqi had practiced medicine all his life. The more proficient he was in medicine, the more he knew how heaven-defying the efficacy of this divine medicine was; it was rare in the world, and even a second one couldn't be found.

Secondly, Shi Tianqi was old. The older a person gets, the more they know their fate. Even if you are a famous doctor in the world, what of it? After eighty, you might suddenly pass away in your sleep one day.

And this divine medicine could allow a dying old man to live longer. This wasn't just a pill; this was several years of life!

Shi Tianqi certainly wanted this divine medicine, but he didn't dare to take it.

As the saying goes, one should not accept a reward without merit.

He had only refused Gao Junwei and Xiao Yiqian. In his view, this little thing was not enough to deserve such a precious divine medicine from Ye Chen.

But Ye Chen didn't care.

If he wanted to make this stuff, he could make thousands of them in a day.

The reason he didn't make so many was mainly because things are valuable when they are rare.

So, giving one to Shi Tianqi was nothing at all.

So he said lightly, "Old Shi, since you want to stay by my side and share my worries, you should know that I, Ye Chen, always distinguish between rewards and punishments. I think you did well and should be rewarded, so I will naturally reward you. You don't need to be polite with me. What I reward you, you just accept."

Shi Tianqi was moved to tears, hurriedly put his hands on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, Master Ye! Thank you, Master Ye!"

Chen Xiaozhao on the side also hurriedly kowtowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Master Ye!"

Ye Chen looked at Chen Xiaozhao and smiled slightly, "Xiaozhao, look up."

Chen Xiaozhao hurriedly looked up, her little face flushed as she looked at Ye Chen, her eyes a bit shy and evasive.

Ye Chen looked at her and smiled slightly, "When the time is right in the future, I will also give you a divine medicine. At that time, it might be able to take your medical skills a step further."

For the elderly, the divine medicine is mainly for treatment, allowing physical functions and internal strength in the meridians to recover to a younger state.

For young people, taking it can greatly strengthen the body and even greatly enhance the meridians in the human body.

Traditional Chinese medicine values Qi the most, and has higher requirements for the internal Qi of the healer themselves. For example, acupuncture—people with insufficient internal Qi cannot use some acupuncture methods even if they know them, and even if they use them, they won't achieve the effect.

This is also the fundamental reason why many famous doctors have strong strength in their own bodies.

Hearing this, Chen Xiaozhao was so excited that she instantly shed tears. Shi Tianqi on the side was also excited and hurriedly said, "Xiaozhao, why don't you kowtow to Master Ye to thank him!"

Chen Xiaozhao came back to her senses, hurriedly bowed and kowtowed, and choked with excitement, "Xiaozhao thanks Master Ye!"

While Ye Chen was giving medicine to Shi Tianqi at Jishitang, Xiao Churan had just driven the car to the Jiangpan Villa in the suburbs.

After arriving at the entrance of the villa area, she called her mother, Ma Lan, and said, "Mom, I have arrived at Jiangpan Villa. Which house is your friend in?"

Ma Lan was waiting anxiously for Xiao Churan in Gao Junwei's villa. Receiving the call, she hurriedly said excitedly, "This is a high-end villa area, the management is very strict, and outside cars are not allowed in. Park your car in the parking lot at the entrance, and Mom will come out to pick you up!"

"Good." Xiao Churan said, "Then I'll wait for you at the entrance."

Ma Lan hung up the phone excitedly and hurriedly said to Gao Junwei and his father, Gao Jianjun, "Churan is here, I'm going to pick her up!"

Gao Junwei hurriedly pointed to the rose flowers and candles arranged in a heart shape at the entrance of the gate and said, "Auntie, you must not let it slip. I hope Churan doesn't know of my existence before she comes in, so that when she enters the door, she will see this romantic scene!"

Ma Lan smiled from ear to ear and said, "Oh Junwei, don't worry, I definitely won't let it slip!"
