Chapter 768: 200: It’s her_3

This child was one who understood gratitude.

So many years had passed, yet she still remembered it in her heart.

Doctor Wang smiled and said: “As a doctor, I am merely doing my duty to heal the sick and injured. There’s no need for such courtesy, young lady.”

Ni Yang continued: “Ever since the incident fifteen years ago, I’ve aspired to be just like you, Dr. Wang—a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who heals the sick and injured. Over the years, I’ve read quite a few medical books. Doctor Wang, I wish to take you as my master!”

Ni Yang’s sincerity was palpable. The medical skills she possessed were all taught by Doctor Wang. Therefore, it was only right for her to ask to formally become his apprentice.

Old Doctor Wang stroked his beard, “If you wish to become my apprentice, you must have some real skills. You said you’ve read medical books, right?”

The young lady is so beautiful, becoming an apprentice might just be a passing whim.

Old Wang didn’t take Ni Yang’s request to heart.

“Yes.” Ni Yang nodded.

“Follow me.” Old Wang gestured and walked outside.

Ni Yang followed his steps.

Old Wang took Ni Yang to the courtyard.

The courtyard was filled with an abundance of drying herbs, the air wafted with a subtle medicinal scent.

Old Wang pointed at these herbs and said, “If you can correctly identify all these herbs today, I’ll take you as my apprentice.”

Wang Zhoushi tugged at Doctor Wang’s sleeve, “Old man, aren’t you deliberately making things difficult for the young lady? There are so many herbs, even I can’t recognize them all, how could she possibly do so!”

Old Wang continued, “If she can’t identify them, it means that we don’t share a master-apprentice destiny.”

Wang Zhoushi, speechless, retorted, “What master-apprentice destiny you speak of! The young lady is so pretty, just her willingness to accept you as a master should make you gleeful. Yet, here you are still flaunting your masterly arrogance!”

“A woman’s perspective.”

While the two were speaking, Ni Yang approached the drying racks and began to identify the herbs, “This is Chunbujian, Purple velvet grass, Stemless vine, Crow leaf… these herbs have detoxifying properties.”

“This is Green ginseng, Five-flavor skin, Chick-spear vine, Maple bark, Old stork grass… these herbs can eliminate rheumatism and strengthen muscles.”

Doctor Wang’s expression gradually shifted to surprise.

He didn’t expect Ni Yang to successfully identify all the herbs!

In addition, she not only recognized them all, but also understood the properties of the herbs.

She was clearly a genius!

Wang Zhoushi was also taken aback. She’s spent many years assisting Doctor Wang and despite routinely drying these herbs herself, she couldn’t identify all of them like Ni Yang did.

Doctors value talent, and Old Wang was no exception. He walked over to Ni Yang, “Good, very good! Today, Wang Erge officially accepts you as his apprentice!”

Throughout his life, he had taken several apprentices, but none of them turned out promising. They couldn’t even memorize the names of the herbs, leading them to eventually give up.

Ni Yang immediately knelt and kowtowed in respect, “Master and Mistress, please accept my salutation.”

“Good child, stand up. ” The elderly pair walked over and helped Ni Yang to her feet.

“Thank you, Master and Mistress.” Ni Yang addressed them naturally, delighting the elderly couple.

Soon after, Old Wang took Ni Yang to pay respects to the ancestral master.

Old Wang’s medical skills were passed down from the lineage of Bian Que. Hanging on the wall was a portrait of Bian Que, below which hung the portrait of a more recent ancestral master.

Old Wang handed three sticks of incense to Ni Yang, “From today onwards, you are the 108th direct disciple of my Xuan Medical lineage. In the future, you must uphold the medical ethics, maintain integrity in practicing medicine. Live in peace, sleep in peace, bearing no guilt.”

“I will heed your teachings.” Ni Yang bowed and placed the incense into the incense burner.

Ni Yang was very clever. Many things only had to be explained once by Old Wang, and she would understand.

Old Wang was overjoyed. After so many years, he had finally found a disciple with exceptional aptitude.

Old Wang was eager to parade Ni Yang around, to let everyone know how gifted his new disciple was.

Old Wang stroked his beard, triumphantly saying: “Let’s see how Lin Yuan mocks me now!”

Lin Yuan was Old Wang’s senior fellow apprentice and another Divine Doctor. His medical skills were on par with Old Wang. The only difference was, Lin Yuan had an extraordinarily talented apprentice, and always boasted about his apprentice to Old Wang.

Furthermore, he mocked Old Wang for having no one to inherit his medical skills!

Wang Zhoushi laughed, “Look how smug you are!”

Old Wang took a sip of wine, crossed his legs and stated: “I do have something to be smug about.”
