Chapter 39: Politely Decline
Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
Just as the both of them were in a conversation, a deep and gentle voice sounded. “Miss Hong Zhuang.”
Baili Hongzhuang turned around, saw Ning Hongzhong’s smiling face, and immediately waved her hand as she said, “Physician Ning, why did you come here in person?”
“It’s all thanks to Miss Hong Zhuang that the Prince has recovered.”
Ning Hongzhong waved and the servant behind him took out a red bag and handed it to him. “I came here today to send the reward money.”
Baili Hongzhuang took the universe bag in her hands. She originally intended to purchase a universe bag the moment she received the reward money. Unexpectedly, she received one with it.
The universe bag appeared to be the size of a normal money bag, but it contained another space within.
Having a universe bag would be much more convenient when she goes out in the future. However, the price attached to this bag was rather hefty, and ordinary people were unable to afford it.
“I’ve also placed the 100 thousand gold Pang Tangping owed you, totalling up to 200 thousand gold coins.”
“Thank you, Physician Ning.” Baili Hongzhuang expressed her thanks.
Ji Wenbin who was standing aside sighed with emotion as he witnessed the scene. 200 thousand gold coins. It was a sum of money many could never obtain throughout their entire lives.
“Miss Hong Zhuang, the Emperor appreciates you very much and has specially sent me here to inquire if you have any intentions to enter the palace as a physician,” Ning Hongzhong asked. “I promise that as long as you come to the Imperial Clinic, I will never intervene in your work.”
If such a talent could be recruited into the Imperial Clinic, then their capabilities would be greatly enhanced!
Ji Wenbin’s face revealed a surprised expression. The Imperial Clinic was a place where many physicians could only dream of entering.
With Baili Hongzhuang’s medical skills, she would be rich and prosperous throughout her entire life after entering the Imperial Clinic.
While the patients felt envious of her, they also felt somewhat disappointed. Once Baili Hongzhuang entered the Imperial Clinic, they would no longer have the chance to receive medical treatment from her.
However, unexpectedly, Baili Hongzhuang politely declined the offer.
“I am thankful for the Emperor and Physician Ning’s intentions. However, I do not have any plans of entering the Imperial Clinic.”
When he heard Baili Hongzhuang’s answer, Ning Hongzhong was slightly shocked. “Miss Hong Zhuang, why did you arrive at this decision?”
“The palace does not have much freedom compared to the outside. I only intend to run my Divine Clinic well.” Baili Hongzhuang responded as such.
She did not have the slightest affection towards the palace. Be it the Emperor or Xuan Yuanhuan, she hated both of them to the extreme, not to mention working for them.
“Miss Hong Zhuang, with your medical skills, isn’t it too wasteful to be a mere travelling doctor?”
Ning Hongzhong was clearly unwilling to let such a great talent slip through his fingers. Thus, he tried his best to persuade her.
Baili Hongzhuang shook her head and said, “Physician Ning, I am thankful that you’re regarding me so highly. However, I have my ambitions elsewhere and so I apologize.”
When he saw how determined Baili Hongzhuang was, Ning Hongzhong sighed. “Alright then. If you are interested in joining the Imperial Clinic in the future, you can find me any time.”
“Thank you.”
After Ning Hongzhong left, Ji Wenbin asked her in confusion, “Miss Hong Zhuang, it is better to join the Imperial Clinic than to operate a clinic outside. Why did you give up such a great opportunity?”
“Brother Ji, to be truthful, opening a clinic is just my side job,” Baili Hongzhuang explained and smiled at him.
“Side job?” Ji Wenbin asked, “Then what’s your main job?”
“Of course it’s cultivating!” Baili Hongzhuang answered as if it was obvious. “I am a cultivator.”
Ji Wenbin opened his mouth and blankly looked at Baili Hongzhuang, as he did not know what to say.
