Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
When he alighted, Zhao Ming Qing passionately welcomed him, "Teacher, you're here…"
"Yeah," Lin Fan said . Zhao Ming Qing's outfit was grand and formal . Then, he smiled as he looked at the hotel behind . "They made it extremely grand . "
Zhao Ming Qing waved his hand . "Teacher, tonight's the discipleship ceremony, it has to be even grander . I've invited my old friends in the same line of work to witness this event . "
The venue was in Shanghai and it was held in a top hotel . It could be said that Zhao Ming Qing had used the best for everything .
Lin Fan nodded . It was the first time having a disciple and it was the first time Zhao Ming Qing had a mentor . He obviously wanted it to be a grand ceremony .
It was the first time Zhao Shi had seen the conman that she had heard about . She looked at him and realized that he was young and he looked decent . How could a young man like him be a con artist? She didn't know what methods this conman had used to cheat her husband .
Although she didn't know much about Chinese medicine, she knew that experienced Chinese medical doctors were extremely old . How could a young man like him be so capable? However, she didn't say much as she didn't want her husband to be unhappy . Hence, she looked happy and amicable .
"Teacher, this is my wife," Zhao Ming Qing introduced .
"Master Lin," Zhao Shi greeted politely . She had to be courteous in everything that she was doing .
Lin Fan smiled . It was awkward facing an old couple and even having a disciple as old as him . Normal people would definitely not tolerate such a thing .
Zhao Qing Ming dragged Lin Fan, "Master, I… I… Hey, where did Li Xing go?"
"Dad, big brother, second brother and third brother all went to settle something . They'll be back soon," Zhao Qun Fang said . She looked a little mysterious . She knew what her three brothers had gone to do and she was analyzing Lin Fan but she couldn't figure out what was wrong . However, she knew that he was a conman .
Lin Fan smiled . "Elder Mu, you're so healthy . "
Elder Mu smiled upon hearing that, "Master Lin, you're saying I'm healthy?"
Lin Fan nodded . "Yeah, no illness at all . "
Elder Mu was relieved to hear something like that from the godly doctor . It was even better than doing the mini-tests in the hospitals . He trusted Master Lin's medical skills and had no doubts about them . He had asked the three of them, including Li Xing, to start calling the guests . He didn't know what they were doing and thought that they wanted to infuriate Elder Zhao .
Then, Zhao Ming Qing smiled . "Teacher, let's go in first . "
"Alright . " Lin Fan nodded . It was his first time attending a grand ceremony . He hadn't even told Fraud Tian and the rest about having a disciple . He also didn't bring them along to prevent them from being shocked . Their shocked expressions would definitely ruin the atmosphere .
Also, Lin Fan wanted to show off . Besides, it was better to not tell them everything .
In the hospital . In the grand lounge .
It was specially decorated and it looked extremely grand . The tables had been moved away and a chair had been placed in the middle . The two sides were lined with chairs .
Although Lin Fan had never gone through a discipleship ceremony before, he knew that this one was especially grand .
"Master, wait for a while . My friends will be here later . 7:18 would be the best time . " Zhao Ming Qing had done a lot of preparations for the ceremony . It ranged from the hotel decorations to the minute details like the time . Although it was a little superstitious, it showed how much he cared about this .
Zhao Ming Qing had been interested in Chinese medicine since young . It was mainly because his parents always fell ill and they often visited the physician back in their village . Over time, he had been unknowingly influenced by the physician . When he had been studying in school, it also sparked an interest in Chinese medicine .
Zhao Ming Qing had never had a mentor and Lin Fan was his first . He wanted to make it as grand as possible .
Zhao Qun Fang looked at the situation and got worried . Then, she quickly went to look for her three brothers . When she found them, they were already on the phone .
"Uncle Li, sorry . Please come and save us . Our dad is serious about having a mentor . If you don't come over, it'll be over for us . "
"What are you guys trying to do? I'm so close to your dad and obviously, I have to be there for his mentorship ceremony . Then, you said he's a conman . I… Ugh, I'll be there soon . "
They called more and more people and Zhao Li Xing was simply frightened, especially after he heard Uncle Xian's words .
He wasn't afraid of anyone at work . The only person he feared was his dad .
Zhao Ming Qing held his children's education in high regard . He had been strict with them since young . However, he had never hit them with force . The only thing he wanted them to remember was to respect people .
"Bro, how's the situation now?" Zhao Qun Fang asked .
"Sister, how're things over there?" Zhao Li Xing asked .
"Doesn't look good . The ceremony will start at 7:18 . Look at the time . I think we can't make it in time . Think about how we're going to answer to dad," Zhao Qun Fang said .
Zhao Li Xing was dumbfounded . He had been afraid of his father being conned but the situation had been totally unexpected .
Zhao Bing said, "Bro, let's go back after this call . It's okay for dad to rage at us . We have to fight for him, or else it'd be too late . "
"What did this fella feed our dad? He is literally… Ugh . " Zhao Li Xing didn't want to continue speaking . "Let's go back after this call . "
…
Time passed quickly .
Zhao Ming Qing felt a little puzzled as his friends weren't there at all . Then, he stood beside his mentor and remained silent . He didn't even make a call and he started to tremble . It wasn't fear . It was rage .
Lin Fan realized that the situation was a little weird but he didn't bother about it . Then, he looked at the time and it was already seven o'clock .
Zhao Ming Qing stood up and said, "Teacher, have a seat . "
Then, Lin Fan sat in the middle seat while Zhao Ming Qing sat beside him . According to the plan, the two sides lined with chairs should have been totally packed with invited guests . They were supposed to be there to witness the ceremony . However, there was only one person and it was Elder Mu .
Zhao Shi stood a distance away and got worried when she saw his expressions . If she had known about this, she wouldn't have gotten her children to interfere with things .
Then, Zhao Li Xing and his brothers and sister came in . When they saw what was happening, their hearts started beating extremely quickly . They looked at each other when they realized that their dad looked extremely furious . Then, they realized that they hadn't considered their dad's love for Chinese medicine when they tried to ruin the ceremony .
*clatter*
The four of them kneeled on the ground .
Zhao Ming Qing just ignored them . He looked at the time and it was already 7:18 . It was time for the ceremony to start .
He didn't wait any longer and went to Lin Fan . He said with a hoarse trembling voice, "Master, I, Zhao Ming Qing, a Chinese Qingshui citizen, have been learning Chinese medicine since I was six years old . Now, I'm seventy-two and I'm the director of Shanghai's First Chinese Medicine Academy . Today, I would like to be your disciple . Please accept me . "
Lin Fan stood up sternly . "I, Lin Fan, am a Chinese Zhongzhou man . "
Zhao Ming Qing greeted Lin Fan with three bows . Then, he took a cup of tea from Zhao Shi .
"Teacher, please have some tea . " Zhao Ming Qing bowed and handed the cup of tea .
"I promise to teach you everything I know and help you to the best of my ability . I hope you can give your best too . In the future, you have to stay on the right path . You cannot be tempted by wealth and power . You have to view everyone as equals," Lin Fan said sternly as he took the cup of tea .
Zhao Ming Qing nodded . "I will remember your wise advice . "
Then, Lin Fan passed a packaged book to him . "This is 'Various Types of Typhoid' . Study it carefully and you can ask me anything you don't know . "
Zhao Ming Qing carefully took the book over . "Thank you, teacher . "
Then, Elder Mu stood up and took out a card . He had to read it out for the people to hear and understand what the ceremony was about . Even though there was nobody there, he had to make it formal .
Elder Mu coughed gently and spoke clearly, "Zhao Ming Qing is knowledgeable in Chinese medicine but he felt the need to learn more . He had always wanted a mentor to guide him but he never had the chance to meet a virtuous man . Today, he has finally met someone capable who's willing to share his knowledge . Today, I, Mr . Mu, invite Mr . Lin Fan to take Zhao Ming Qing as your disciple and to teach him wholeheartedly so that he can get through difficult times with your guidance . Today, you agree to not give up on him so that he can learn new knowledge and remember it till the day he dies . "
"The ceremony is complete . I, Mu Xian, am the witness . "
Elder Mu smiled to appease the situation . "Congratulations, Elder Zhao . Come, I'll take a picture of the both of you . "
Zhao Ming Qing smiled as the ceremony ended . Then, he stood beside Lin Fan .
*snap*
It had been a success .
Zhao Ming Qing's sons and daughter were still kneeling on the floor . They were being ignored but their hearts were beating extremely quickly .
They finally understood the outcome which Uncle Mu had said to them . Their dad was a calm man but his rage was extremely horrifying .
