Chapter 25: Congratulations on Accepting a Disciple

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Why? Miss Lin, are you unwilling?” Seeing that Lin Ran was silent, Doctor Wu was a little anxious. It was not easy for him to find someone with the potential to study medicine. He had to take her in. Besides, he had a feeling that if he missed Lin Ran, he would never be able to find such a good disciple in the future.

“No, I just can’t believe it.” Lin Ran smiled and looked at Doctor Wu in embarrassment. “Master!”

“Alright!” Doctor Wu was very delighted. If not for the fact that there were still patients around, he would have asked the staff to bring wine over and celebrate.

The woman’s pain had already subsided. Seeing that Doctor Wu had taken in a disciple, she was also happy for him and said, “Doctor Wu, congratulations.”

“Haha. Thank you!” Doctor Wu was really happy. He said to the shop assistant, “Give this lady a 20% discount on her medicine.”

This time, the woman was also happy. She did not expect that her words would get her a 20% discount on her medicine.

After the shop assistant finished collecting the medicine, the woman and her son left gratefully. At this moment, there were no more patients in the medical hall. Doctor Wu was in a good mood and directly instructed the shop assistant, “Go prepare some food and wine. I want to have a good drink.”

“Master, don’t be anxious. Since I want to take you as my master, I have to prepare as well. We should choose a good day and bring the elders of my family as witnesses to take you as my master.”

“Alright, then go back for now. I’ll inform you after picking a date. How about that?”

“Okay. Yes, Master.” Lin Ran nodded and said to the shop assistant, “I’ll have to trouble you with these herbs.”

The shop assistant nodded and looked at the herbs Lin Ran had brought. Seeing they were already prepped, he said happily, “Miss Lin, do you know how to brew herbs?”

When Doctor Wu heard this, he also turned to look at the herbs. When he realized that not only had those herbs been prepped, but they were also very well done, he could not help but have a trace of doubt.

Did Lin Ran really not have a master?

He quickly brushed off this thought. He felt that Lin Ran did not seem to be a liar. There was probably more to it but she was unable to say more.

Since the herbs had been prepped before, they fetched a relatively high price and were sold for a tael of silver. Seeing that it was getting late and she still had to buy more things, Lin Ran said to Doctor Wu, “Master, I won’t stay any longer today. I still have to buy some things. I’ll come and see you in a few days.”

After she left, the shop assistant looked at Doctor Wu with a funny expression and asked, “Doctor Wu, why did you suddenly take this young lady as your disciple? Didn’t you say before that you won’t take in disciples for the rest of your life?”

“Can’t I change my mind?” Doctor Wu rolled his eyes at the shop assistant and said, “Don’t interfere in my matters. Go back to work.”

The shop assistant had no choice but to turn around and work. On the other hand, Doctor Wu reached out and stroked his beard, feeling that he had picked up a treasure.

Lin Ran was young, but not only did she know herbs, but she also knew simple medical skills. Also, she was completely self-taught. Such a smart disciple could only be chanced upon by luck. God had really treated him well, by sending her to him.

It was said that misfortune and fortune often came as a package. This saying was indeed true for Lin Ran.

Lin Ran did not know what Doctor Wu was thinking, nor did she know that Doctor Wu was not an ordinary doctor. At this moment, she had already gone to the streets to shop.

Lin Ran bought some food supplies and some daily necessities before walking toward the place she had agreed to meet Uncle Wang Gen.
