"Isn't it great that we managed to earn 500 gold coin?" Li said as he counted the gold over and gain.
"At this rate we will manage to earn 2000 gold coin easily." Said Yang Yue as she gazed at Zheng and smiled.
"Yeah but it's still too slow."
"What do you mean it's too slow?" Li was curious.
"We won't be often getting costumers who as pay as much as Master Ping." Said Zheng. "Moreover, I feel like Master Ping offered 500 gold as gratitude but as payment."
"Oh- I got it," Yang Yue said with excitement. "So, we will be taking costumers no matter how small the cause is and we won't even charge high so it can draw many customers."
At that point, Yang Yue started to admire Zheng.
Who exactly is that man, Zheng? He's strong and talented, he doesn't care about fame or money, we don't know anything about him and he doesn't have any intention to reveal about himself. He's so mysterious but it doesn't give me bad feeling, instead it's pulling me toward him.
"Yang Yue?!" Li called out to Yang Yue, snapping out of her thought.
"It's exactly as Yang Yue said," Zheng smiled devilishly as he slightly turns toward Li and Yang Yue. "I'll have you work hard."
The last word that came out of Zheng's mouth had them on their edge.
I take back what I said about him, he does give me bad feeling. Yang Yue thought to herself again.
Unknown to the fact that Zheng pulled off one of the most difficult acupuncture and saved Master Ping, the crowd who passed Zheng's Healing Hall still spoke ill about Zheng.
Amidst the talks and the rumors, a beautiful young lady dared to walk inside Zheng's healing hall.
"What kind of illness can you treat?" the young lady asked softly.
"What kind of illness?" Zheng repeated the question just to assure her. "Almost all the kind of illness known to the world."
Looking at the Zheng's confident, the young lady asked. "Are you saying can treat all kind of illness?"
"Can I look at your body?" Zheng asked politely.
The young lady nodded at his question.
After examining the young lady, Zheng smiled and said. "You don't have any illness, You just…"
Before Zheng could finish speaking, two men wearing a long white robe, carrying a sword each, frantically came running to Zheng's healing hall looking for the young lady.
"YOU… HOW DARE YOU TOUCH THE LADY," one of the men shouted when they saw Zheng's hand placed of the young lady's body. "Do you even know who she is?"
"Don't mind them," the young lady looked at those two men and frowned. "You were saying?"
"You just a back pain." Zheng calmly said.
"I've been taking medicine for three months but," said the young lady. "but the pain doesn't seem to fade."
"You don't seem to notice it but the pain is slightly increasing by the day."
"WHAT?!" the two men was blown away by Zheng's word.
"The medicine you've been taking..."
Before Zheng could finish speaking, the young lady interrupted and asked. "what about the medicine I've been taking?"
"The medicine you've been taking is not the cure but," Zheng paused for a moment before telling the truth. "But that medicine is what causing you the pain."
The young lady wasn't shocked at all but she was calm, like she has already anticipated the outcome.
"Who ever is the mastermind, he doesn't intend to kill you." Said Zheng. "But he wants you to suffer, or he just can't take your life."
"Please tell me clearly," the young lady said with anger in her tone.
"That medicine doesn't kill you but it will slowly paralyze you and destroy your meridian, making you helpless." Said Zheng. "Judging by your tone, I guess you already have your suspect."
"I might know who that might be," said the young lady.
"Why not just kill you?" Yang Yue said in disbelief of how cowardly a person can be. "Who can be so spineless to poison a woman?"
"Killing me would be easy way out for me," the young lady answered. "He just wants to take away everything from me when I become helpless and wants to watch me suffer."
"So, can you help me?" the young lady asked Zheng. "I'll give you 10000 gold coin for you service."
The offer was so tempting that anyone would take up instantly but Zheng was hesitant to take up the offer. He thought to himself that taking this generous offer means going against the teaching of his old master.
10000 gold coin? That's a fortune one can pray for.
Who is she? How can she pay such a fortune?
Yang Yue and Li was dumbfounded as they spoke to each other.
"I can't take that offer." Zheng gently refused the young lady.
"Do you mean you won't help the young lady?"
"Please, help the young lady."
The two men said simultaneously.
"I will help her," Zheng said calmly. "but I can't take 10000 gold coin."
"What do you want?"
"I'll just take 100 gold coin."
"just 100 gold coin?" the young lady thought that Zheng has to an idiot or nobleman.
"I'll give you your 100-gold coin but you have to help me."
"I need some time to prepare," Zheng said politely. "we are recently established so, can you return in the evening?"
"We'll come back in the evening with the gold."
The three of them watched the young lady and two of the men go and disappear among the crowd.
Soon after the young lady and the two men disappeared, Zheng turns toward Yang Yue and Li with wicked smile and devilish face giving them the uneasy feeling from the before.
"Hey Li?" Yang Yue leaned toward Li and asked. "Am I only the one who's feeling that Zheng is up to something?"
"No, even I had that feeling too," Li whispered back to Yang Yue. "Zheng has been giving me this weird feeling this whole time."
