This kid is thirteen, but still very mischievous. He’s turned Ye Tian’s entire house upside down these past few days, and Lu Chuanxin’s scolding is useless.
“Uncle Ye, this tiger is so beautiful, can you give it to me?”
Lu Chuanxin roared, “This jade tiger is made of Hetian jade, do you think I’ll give it to you just because you want it? Go back to your study and learn!”
The boy’s name is Lu Zixian, a first-year middle schooler, and he’s utterly lawless in the Lu family.
Ye Tian smiled, “Of course. If you like it, I’ll give you this jade tiger. However, I have a condition.”
Lu Zixian asked, “What condition?”
Ye Tian said, “You know Uncle Ye understands medicine. Once you learn this medical skill, you can treat beautiful women. Once you cure them, they will admire you immensely.”
Lu Zixian’s eyes lit up, “Uncle Ye, you’re amazing. Can I learn this kind of medical skill?”
Ye Tian replied, “Of course, you can. I have a medical book and a pharmacopoeia here. If you can memorize them all, I’ll not only give you the jade tiger but also teach you real medical skills.”
Lu Zixian was hardly the studious type, but when he heard that medical skills could attract girls, he immediately perked up. The child was actually quite smart, just not fond of studying.
“Uncle Ye, hurry and give me the books, I’ll memorize them right away.”
Ye Tian found two books from his study, both massive tomes of over a million characters. Upon seeing these hefty volumes, Lu Zixian was not intimidated at all. He grabbed them and went to his study to pore over them.
Seeing his son actually behaving, Lu Chuanxin said with a wry smile, “Alas, as a father, I have a headache every day. Damn it, what virtue did I lack in my past life to have produced this rascal.”
Ye Tian commented, “Zixian is quite intelligent.”
Lu Chuanxin brightened, “Brother, you’re not just saying that to comfort me, are you?”
Ye Tian replied, “A child’s intelligence is often reflected in their appearance. If Zixian is willing to work hard, getting into a top university wouldn’t be difficult. However, you need to guide him slowly; he’s at an age where rebellion is most common.”
Lu Chuanxin chuckled, “You’re not actually going to pass on your medical skills to him, are you?”
Ye Tian said, “Let him learn for now. If he’s truly cut out for it, then I’ll teach him.”
Lu Chuanxin was overjoyed, “Great. When the time comes, I’ll prepare a generous gift for you, his master.”
Ye Tian rolled his eyes, “Stop with the useless talk.”
In less than an hour, Lu Chuanxin said, “Qiu Jie and her husband have arrived in Haicheng. They should be here in about fifteen minutes.”
Ye Tian nodded, “Okay, have them come straight here.”
In less than twenty minutes, a car stopped at the entrance. The driver opened the door, and a couple emerged. The man looked sallow, thin, and not tall, dressed in loose clothing.
The woman was twenty-five or twenty-six, very beautiful, adorned in luxury brands from head to toe. The bag in her hand alone was worth hundreds of thousands, the same brand as Zhu Yuting’s bag.
Liang Daoming smiled, “Chuanxin, we heard you weren’t feeling well, so Qiu Jie and I specially came to visit you. How are you feeling now?”
Lu Chuanxin replied, “Much better. Daoming, you didn’t need to make this trip, and trouble your sister-in-law.”
The woman smiled, “Brother Lu, you’re being too formal. I asked someone to buy you some tonics. Xiao Liu, bring them over quickly.”
The driver opened the trunk, took out a pile of gifts, and Lu Chuanxin’s wife accepted them before inviting the couple inside.
Ye Tian didn’t come out; he had been sitting in the living room all along. As Qiu Jie and her husband entered, their eyes scanned him.
Lu Chuanxin smiled, “This is my friend, Mr. Ye. This is his home, and he’s temporarily letting me stay here.”
Ye Tian said, “Please sit down, don’t be strangers.”
After a few pleasantries, Ye Tian observed Qiu Jie. She wasn’t a cultivator, which put him slightly at ease. However, when he saw Liang Daoming, his heart stirred slightly. He took out his phone and sent Lu Chuanxin a text message.
Lu Chuanxin picked up his phone and glanced at it, a hint of surprise appearing on his face. He put down the phone and smiled slightly, saying, “Daoming, you’re still so naive, you don’t understand people’s hearts.”
Liang Daoming was taken aback, “Chuanxin, why are you suddenly saying this?”
Lu Chuanxin pointed at Ye Tian, “Daoming, Mr. Ye was the one who cured my illness back then. We are brothers, so I’ll ask him to check your health, how about it?”
Liang Daoming hadn’t been feeling well for over a year, so he immediately agreed, “Alright.”
Qiu Jie, however, said, “What’s there to check? Daoming is in great health, there’s no need.”
