Chapter 159: Condition

Sun Ziqian was very happy. To him, it was fine as long as Su Xiaolu was willing to show her face.

He had done his part.

“Master Lin is at the residence now, Xiaolu. Can you meet him now?”

Sun Ziqian asked with relief.

Su Xiaolu nodded.

Sun Ziqian brought Su Xiaolu along.

After they left, Madam Lian came out of the corner. She had been there for a while and had heard the conversation between Su Xiaolu and Sun Ziqian. She had not gone in because she felt that it was inappropriate.

Sun Ziqian would tell her about this, too.

Knowing that he was working hard on this matter, Madam Lian waited in peace.

Lin Pingsheng waited anxiously in the main room. When the servants served tea, he did not touch it or even sit down.

Hearing footsteps, Lin Pingsheng became nervous.

Before this, he had already calculated in his heart what kind of confidence he had to seek treatment. After thinking about it, he only felt that it was even more ridiculous.

He was talented, but he had no money.

After living for forty-six years, Lin Pingsheng finally realized that he had lived in vain. Only then did he understand what his only close friend in the capital meant when he said goodbye.

When the breeze dissipates, desolation would be visible everywhere.

People’s hearts were ugly, but they still had a glimmer of innocence.

Unfortunately, he understood too late.

It wasn’t until his daughter was lying in a pool of blood that he realized that the places he didn’t see were already in ruins.

Now, he should do his best to make up for those mistakes.

When Sun Ziqian and Su Xiaolu entered the main room, Lin Pingsheng was stunned.

Sun Ziqian said to Lin Pingsheng, “Master Lin, this is Su Xiaolu, the divine doctor who treated Shan and Qian. Her master is the previous divine doctor of Minggu. Although she’s only four years old, she has already finished her apprenticeship.”

Lin Pingsheng retracted his shocked gaze and said apologetically, “I saw her yesterday.”

Lin Pingsheng found it difficult to calm down, but sometimes, fate played tricks on people.

Sun Ziqian was also shocked. He did not expect Lin Pingsheng to have an opportunity with Su Xiaolu, but seeing Lin Pingsheng so shocked now, he could only sigh in his heart.

People begged God, but when God was around, people never believed, either.

Lin Pingsheng cupped his hands and bowed to Su Xiaolu. He apologized sincerely, “Miss Su, please forgive me. I didn’t recognize you. Please give me another chance. Please treat my daughter’s face.”

Lin Pingsheng did not know how to appear sincere. He was afraid that Su Xiaolu would be angry. He was really afraid.

He, who refused to bend, now bowed to a child.

Su Xiaolu stepped forward and said gently, “Get up. I can treat your daughter’s face, but on one condition.”

Lin Pingsheng looked up and asked anxiously, “What condition?”

Su Xiaolu looked at Lin Pingsheng and said seriously, “Uncle Sun said that you used to be number three in the national examinations, so you must be full of knowledge. I want you to accept my two brothers as personal disciples and teach them everything you’ve learned in your life.”

Lin Pingsheng was chosen as one of the top three among tens of thousands of people. His knowledge was undoubtedly rich.

But he was reduced to being a stubborn teacher in a small town. One could only say that his personality was not flexible. Otherwise, he should be a high official in the court now.

Su Xiaolu did not know how harsh he was. She only knew that if her two brothers kept learning from him, they would definitely be extraordinary.

Lin Pingsheng was stunned. Finally, he lowered his head, closed his eyes, and nodded. “Okay, I promise you.”

His stubborn life was just a joke. If he could save his daughter, so what if he did not have his pride?

Su Xiaolu put away her seriousness and smiled sweetly. “Then I’ll go get the medicine. Just wait for me for a while.”

It just so happened that she still had some scar removal medicine left.

Lin Pingsheng nodded blankly. “Okay, okay.”

He found it hard to recover from his shock. Was it that simple?

After Su Xiaolu left, Sun Ziqian sighed and said, “Teacher Lin, I didn’t expect you and Xiaolu to have met. Now that she has agreed, I won’t hide it from you. Xiaolu’s two brothers are also studying in your school.”

Lin Pingsheng was stunned. “Who are they?”

Sun Ziqian looked at Lin Pingsheng and said truthfully, “It’s Su Chong and Su Hua.”

Lin Pingsheng was surprised. “It’s them?”

Sun Ziqian nodded and said, “Now that they’ve been taught by you for more than half a year, what do you think of the two brothers?”

Lin Pingsheng sighed and said, “Su Chong’s words are considered intelligent. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to become a scholar in the future. Su Hua is extremely intelligent and meticulous. I’ve been teaching here for many years, but I’ve only met someone who can understand things like he did. He and Su Chong were quite old when they enrolled. When I asked them, they didn’t hide anything and directly told me.”

When he knew they’d had a screw loose in their heads before, Lin Pingsheng did not think much of it, he thought they were just a little late.

.

“It’s my honor to take them as my disciples.”

Lin Pingsheng finally said. He was originally worried that Su Xiaolu’s brothers were just mediocre people. Now that he knew it was Su Chong and Su Hua, he was not repulsed at all. Instead, he was a little happy.

He had wasted his life. It would be his honor to have disciples who could make him proud.

Sun Ziqian sighed and said, “Then I’ll congratulate Teacher first. With Xiaolu around, Yaoyao will definitely be fine. Teacher’s wish will be fulfilled.”

Lin Pingsheng looked at Sun Ziqian gratefully. He thought for a moment and asked, “Shan and Qian are also very smart. When will they recover?”

Sun Ziqian smiled and said, “In three years. By then, Shan will be able to enter the academy.”

Perhaps knowing Lin Pingsheng’s worries, Sun Ziqian said again, “Teacher, you can rest assured and wait. The Minggu sect has been passed down for thousands of years. People have always described it this way: If the King of Hell wants you dead at midnight, the divine doctor can make you stay until three in the morning.”

“In the past, the doctor didn’t like crowds and didn’t allow us to reveal his whereabouts to others. When Yaoyao recovers, please do the same. Please understand.”

Sun Ziqian instructed sincerely. He was afraid that Lin Pingsheng would be too inflexible. If Lin Yaoyao recovered and someone asked, he would tell them.

The divine doctor could not be offended.

Lin Pingsheng nodded. He cupped his hands gratefully at Sun Ziqian and said sincerely, “Thank you for your reminder, Master Sun. I’ll remember it.”

Sun Ziqian had stepped aside when Lin Pingsheng bowed. He would have to ask Lin Pingsheng to teach his son in the future.

Sun Ziqian smiled gently and said nothing more.

Lin Pingsheng also had a smile on his face.

Su Xiaolu carried a large jar over and placed it on the table. She said, “Here, take this ointment back and let your daughter apply a lot of it every night when she goes to bed. Put it thick on her face and scars.”

Thinking of Lin Yaoyao, Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “I saw her that day. Her condition isn’t too bad. She’ll be fine in two to three months.”
