Chapter 1519 - 327, Teach with Itching Powder (Second Update)
Wen Jingming’s father is not only an Imperial Physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau, but also universally recognized as the next adjudicator of the Bureau. Such a venerable and respected person actually making a bet with his son over an apprenticeship? This was simply too astonishing for words.
Xiao Linshuang couldn’t help but purse her lips speechlessly. Who else was there to blame? She could only blame herself for having such a good mentor!
Lin Yuan also looked helplessly at Wen Jingming; now she finally understood what Xia Zheng meant. Indeed, being a disciple of Lao Fan was like being a trouble magnet!
"Master, Master? How do you plan to test me? Don’t worry, I will definitely not let you down!" Wen Jingming was still excitedly circling Xiao Linshuang, intending to become her disciple, completely oblivious to the dramatic change in the young girl’s expression.
Finally, Xiao Linshuang had had enough of this buzzing nuisance. She puffed out her little chest, and an astonishing strength burst from her tiny frame: "I don’t want any disciples! If you want to become an apprentice, go find my master! Stop bothering me!"
Wen Jingming was so startled by her sudden outburst that his jaw nearly dropped.
However, just when Lin Yuan thought this guy would either walk away dejectedly or angrily rebuke Xiao Linshuang for being unappreciative, unexpectedly, he leaned close to Xiao Linshuang’s face and said very seriously, "Master, your eyes are red and you’re speaking harshly; this is a sign of excessive liver fire in your body. In my view, you should take a concoction made from schizonepeta spikes, mint, Fang Feng, Bupleurum, perilla leaves, pueraria root, and also Bai Zhi, and Gymnema leaves, supplemented with platycodon roots, bitter almonds, and reed roots. One prescription a day, taken continuously for three days, should show improvements."
After speaking, Wen Jingming actually began to mix the medicine right there on the Second Floor of Frost Pavilion. Watching his earnest behavior, Lin Yuan and Xiao Linshuang exchanged glances, feeling utterly bewildered.
