There wasn't even a shadow of Gu, but Han Yunxi spotted an old friend in the crowd.
He stood in the midst of the crowd and gave her a gentle smile. Sunlight shone on his handsome face, illuminating the entire world.
Han Yunxi couldn't help but smile. Tranquil, relaxed, warm, all of the hubbub had nothing to do with him. Suddenly, it had nothing to do with her, either.
It was like an April spring breeze caressing her face, or a winter sun caressing her face.
Gu Beiyue, long time no see!
After the rebel army captured Tianning's imperial palace, Emperor Tianhui had fled overnight. Han Yunxi assumed that he'd taken Gu Beiyue with him as well, so she never expected to see him here.
Gu Beiyue walked out of the crowd until Seventh Madame and Baili Mingxiang noticed him. As for Long Fei Ye, he'd spotted him long ago.
It had to be said that Gu Beiyue didn't know how to socialize, but he was very popular with people. Needless to say, the Han Clan members, even Baili Mingxiang and Su Xiaoyu liked him a lot.
Everyone came forward to greet him, but Gu Beiyue bowed towards Han Yunxi at the gates. "Esteemed wangfei, may I ask if your esteemed pharmacy needs a resident doctor? May this one be so bold as to recommend myself? "
Everyone's attention focused on him at his words.
A resident doctor? Does that mean he's willing to work as a resident doctor at Pill Fiend Pharmacy?
The sudden surprise made Han Yunxi very happy and moved. After all, a Divine Doctor like Gu Beiyue didn't need to stay at a pharmacy. Once he left the Imperial Physician Courtyard, he could open his own clinic or return to the medical academy with a bright future ahead of him.
The most he could do was to check the prescriptions of the people who came to get the medicine and provide some suggestions. It was really a waste of talent.
It wasn't just Han Yunxi. Everyone behind her was overjoyed as well.
But soon enough, the crowd began to hiss.
"Haha, he's overestimating himself. He looks like a sickly invalid! What part of him looks like a doctor? "
"Pill Fiend Pharmacy isn't some random place. Young man, you don't know the difference between Heaven and Earth."
…
Most of the doctors stationed in medicine halls weren't anything special, but Pill Fiend Pharmacy wasn't an ordinary medicine hall. The doctors stationed here couldn't be careless.
How could Gu Beiyue be a casual person?
He was calm and collected, but Han Yunxi was anxious. Just as she was about to explain, an immortal-looking old man walked out of the crowd. He gently squeezed Gu Beiyue's right shoulder, and Gu Beiyue's shoulder seemed to have suffered a great blow. It suddenly collapsed, and his whole body squatted down.
It was just a light pinch. No matter how weak his body was, it shouldn't be so weak!
What's going on!
Everyone was shocked. Han Yunxi was about to rush over, but Long Fei Ye pulled her from behind.
He said, "What's the rush?"
Gu Beiyue squatted on the ground with a pained expression on his face. It was unknown if he was deliberately keeping quiet or if he was in too much pain to speak.
"Young man, it hurts a lot, doesn't it?" The old man asked indifferently.
Gu Beiyue nodded.
The old man gently squeezed Gu Beiyue's left shoulder again. This time, Gu Beiyue's left shoulder also collapsed. His shoulders drooped, making him look especially weak.
The old man circled to Gu Beiyue's back and gently pushed Gu Beiyue's palm as if he was doing Tai Chi. Gu Beiyue huffed and let out a long sigh.
"Do you feel better?" the old man asked again.
Gu Beiyue nodded again.
The old man stroked his beard seriously and muttered to himself, "Dampness is the most evil of all. It harms the yang, and those who harm the yang will become weak, sick, and die."
As he spoke, he circled to Gu Beiyue's back and took out a golden needle. After performing a few strange movements, he pierced it into Gu Beiyue's neck.
A needle was usually inserted in a spiral and wouldn't go too deep. But the old man's needle pierced in, and it was especially deep.
Everyone watched with trepidation, but Gu Beiyue didn't seem to have any abnormalities.
Han Yunxi was the most attentive of them all. Although she wasn't reassured, Gu Beiyue's medical skills were so exceptional that he wouldn't stay silent if he was hurt. Thus, she decided to keep quiet for now.
After a while, the old man started to massage Gu Beiyue's left and right shoulders again.
Everyone stared fixedly, but Gu Beiyue didn't have much reaction. However, when the old man pulled out the golden needle, they saw that the golden needle had turned completely black. It was so black that it was shining!
This wasn't the most amazing thing!
The most amazing thing was that this golden needle was actually wet!
This time, everyone was shocked.
What was going on?
They saw Gu Beiyue slowly stand up and shrugged his shoulders. Not only was he fine, he looked much more energetic than before. He looked radiant.
Was the dampness removed?
Was it cured?
Dampness was accumulated over the years, and it was very troublesome to treat. It had to be treated from all aspects. Without two or three years of good rest, there wouldn't be any effect at all.
This sickly person was so energetic. Could it be that two or three needles could remove the dampness?
Someone in the crowd immediately asked, "Old man, does this count as removing the dampness?"
The old man's face was unfathomable, and he didn't answer.
He sized up Gu Beiyue and said lightly, "Half a gram each of Feng, Qin Gan, Wei Ling Xian, and Sang Zhi. Decoct them every day and drink them as tea."
After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and calmly walked out of the crowd. Everyone unconsciously opened up a path, thinking that this person must be a hidden expert.
Gu Beiyue didn't thank him, nor did he show much concern. He touched his neck with a gentle expression.
The old man walked slowly step by step, looking like an immortal and calm, but his heart was filled with anxiety. Step by step, he walked slower and slower.
Qin Wangfei had long posted a notice to recruit talented people. He'd shown such a godly skill at Pill Fiend Pharmacy's gates, so why hadn't Qin Wangfei asked him to stay?
Shouldn't she be courteous to him and invite him to stay as a resident doctor at Pill Fiend Pharmacy?
Finally, the old man stopped. If he kept walking, he'd really be too far away.
After some thought, he turned to Gu Beiyue and said, "Young man, the Old Man has only accepted one disciple in his life. He's the Head Imperial Physician of Tianning, Gu Beiyue. Although there's a difference between the two of you, you've met the Old Man by fate today. Come, follow the Old Man to learn acupuncture."
His words sent the crowd into an uproar!
No one expected this old man to be Gu Beiyue's master!
Gu Beiyue might only be a fifth rank Divine Doctor, but his medical skills had long surpassed that. Moreover, his reputation in Tianning was even greater than that of the medical academy's doctors.
Could it be that he'd followed this expert after his grandfather passed away?
If that's the case, then this expert's medical skills must be incredible!
The crowd was in an uproar. Everyone was astonished, but Han Yunxi and the others were the most surprised.
How could there be such a blind person in the world?
There's really no saving him if he can trick people to this extent.
Han Yunxi and the others were all silent. Long Fei Ye's lips were twitching. He'd long seen through this old man's lies, but he never expected this kind of ending.
Unexpectedly, Gu Beiyue wasn't angry at all. Instead, he smiled modestly and said, "This one is untalented, so I won't seek connections with you."
"Are you an idiot?!"
"Young man, have you lost your mind as well?! Don't you want such a good opportunity? "
"Young man, do you know who Gu Beiyue is? It's your good fortune to be able to become fellow disciples of the same sect as Imperial Physician Gu! "
… …
All sorts of voices came from all directions, but Gu Beiyue was truly good-natured. He sighed softly and didn't try to explain himself.
He only bowed to Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi before preparing to leave.
Han Yunxi had planned to expose that old swindler and humiliate him, but all her anger vanished when she saw Gu Beiyue's carefree demeanor.
He wasn't afraid of trouble, but simply kind and compassionate. He always turned big problems into small ones, kept a low profile, and didn't care about honor or disgrace.
He was the most cultured doctor she'd ever met.
Seeing this, the old uncle was dumbfounded. He only knew a few unorthodox medical skills. A few days ago, he'd accepted a sum of money and agreed to infiltrate Pill Fiend Pharmacy as an informant. Today, Pill Fiend Pharmacy had opened, so he'd only come to check out its depths. He'd wanted to seize the opportunity to show off his skills when he saw this sickly invalid.
Who knew that he'd run into such a weirdo?
Although it was a bit awkward, the old uncle still pretended to be calm. He smiled magnanimously and turned to leave.
He thought that even though he hadn't succeeded this time, he'd at least attracted Qin Wangfei's attention. Next time, he'd find a chance to meet her by chance and enter Pill Fiend Pharmacy.
With that in mind, the old uncle was about to leave with peace of mind.
But at that moment, a surprised voice called out from outside the crowd, "Imperial Physician Gu, Imperial Physician Gu, you're here too!"
Imperial Physician Gu!?
In a flash, all the onlookers turned to see a spirited girl walking towards Gu Beiyue.
"Imperial Physician Gu, why are you leaving after arriving at Pill Fiend Pharmacy? Does His Highness Duke of Qin and esteemed wangfei not welcome you? "the young lady asked jokingly.
Before Gu Beiyue could reply, Han Yunxi laughed and said, "How could they not welcome you? Imperial Physician Gu, you just said that you'd be a resident physician at Pill Fiend Pharmacy. You have to keep your word! "
This time, the crowd exploded. This sickly invalid was actually Gu Beiyue? So that old man was a big liar!
Gu Beiyue smiled helplessly. When he turned around, he saw that the group of people behind him were all dumbfounded, especially that "immortal" old man.
The old man wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but he was immediately grabbed by the crowd and beaten to a pulp.
Han Yunxi couldn't be bothered to bicker with a clown like him. When she saw Gu Beiyue walk over, she was happy. When she saw the young lady who came with Gu Beiyue, she was even happier.
This was because this person was none other than Mu Ling 'er, the person she'd been waiting for!
As expected, she'd come on the opening day.
"Esteemed wangfei, if you don't mind, Gu Beiyue is willing to serve Pill Fiend Pharmacy for the rest of his life!" Gu Beiyue said seriously.
His voice wasn't loud or domineering, but it shook everyone's hearts.
How could the words "for the rest of his life" be said so casually? After all, saying "for the rest of his life" was a promise!
These words were a bit ambiguous, but before anyone could think too much about it, Gu Beiyue added, "I hope that this one will have the good fortune to help the people with Your Highness and esteemed wangfei."
A complicated look flitted through Long Fei Ye's eyes, but he didn't say anything. Han Yunxi immediately agreed. "Pill Fiend Pharmacy's good fortune!"
At this time, Gu was watching this scene from a nearby rooftop. His eyes narrowed into slits. He wanted nothing more than to go down there and give that old man a few slaps!
That's right, he was the one who'd hired that old man. Who knew that he'd be such a scum!
While Gu was fuming, he heard Mu Ling 'er shout, "Qin Wangfei, I've come to challenge His Excellency Pill Fiend! Please tell His Excellency Pill Fiend that Medicine City's Mu Ling 'er is here to fight! "
