Then, Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief . There was always a first time for everyone . Initially, he had been pretty nervous but thankfully there weren't a lot of people present and he felt more relaxed .
"What's the meaning of this?" Lin Fan was puzzled by the four people kneeling on the ground .
Zhao Ming Qing looked at his four children and sighed . "It's all because of the four of you . "
Zhao Li Xing lowered his head . "Dad, I…"
"Don't call me dad . I don't have children like you . " Zhao Ming Qing was furious . He was already old and it wasn't easy for him to get angry . However, this time, it was obvious that his children had done something to cause the discipleship ceremony to turn out like that .
"Ming Qing, don't be angry . What happened?" Lin Fan was curious . Could there be a hidden meaning?
Zhao Ming Qing said, "Teacher, they thought I met a conman and I don't even know what these four children did . Li Xing, tell me, what did you do?"
Zhao Li Xing was the oldest sibling and he had to answer for it . "Dad, we've not been supportive of you having a mentor . He's so young . How could his medical skills be compared to yours? We all thought that you've been conned . Therefore, we called our Aunties and Uncles to stop them from coming . It'd be shameful . "
"What did you say? Say that again . Shameful? Who'd be shameful?" Zhao Ming Qing had been rather appeased but after hearing his words, he was infuriated . Then, he looked around as if he was looking for something to use to teach them a lesson .
Zhao Shi couldn't take it any longer . "Husband, the children meant well . Don't be so angry . "
"Shut up . You've always been lenient with them . Look at how they've turned out . Do you even know what it means to respect your mentor?" Zhao Ming Qing was furious while Elder Mu tried to appease him .
Zhao Ming Qing couldn't accept it and felt that his mentor had been unfairly treated . They couldn't understand the talents of his teacher . It was his great fortune to have met a teacher like him . These people actually ruined a grand ceremony . If it was told to the public, people would definitely laugh at him and his mentor .
"Ming Qing," Lin Fan said . It felt rather weird calling an old man over seventy years old by his first name but he believed that he would be used to it soon .
Zhao Ming Qing came to Lin Fan . "Teacher, I…"
Lin Fan waved his hand . "It's okay . Forget it . It's not a big thing . It's normal anyway . After all, I'm too young and your children meant well . Let's just ignore this and I won't care about this . Since you take me as your teacher, I will impart my skills to you and you have to be serious in learning . The secrets of Chinese medicine are difficult to teach by mouth . I'll teach you personally when I'm free . "
"It's rather late now and I'm pretty tired . I'll be heading back first to rest . "
Zhao Ming Qing said, "Teacher, I'll send you back .
Lin Fan smiled . "It's okay . You're already so old . You don't have to send me back . The ceremony is already completed . Don't take it too seriously from now on . I'll be leaving now . "
He stood up and prepared to leave .
Zhao Ming Qing sent him to the door personally and his children were still kneeling on the ground . They knew that it was just the beginning and things were far from over . But they really didn't believe that he wasn't a conman . They believed that it was temporal and he would definitely be exposed one day .
At the entrance .
"Teacher, it's all because of me," Zhao Ming Qing said guiltily . It had been supposed to be a grand ceremony and it had become like this . He was extremely saddened .
Lin Fan wasn't older than Zhao Ming Qing but he was his mentor . He patted Zhao Qing Ming's shoulder . "Alright, it's nothing much . I think it was a traditional and grand ceremony . You can go back and have a rest . "
"Teacher, have a safe trip!" Elder Mu waved his hand .
After sending him off, Zhao Ming Qing's face turned as black as thunder . "Scumbags . I have to kill these four rascals . "
Elder Mu tried to persuade him, "Elder Zhao, what are you doing? Your children are so old already . You shouldn't resort to violence . "
"They're still kids in my eyes regardless of how old they are . My mentor is now their grand teacher . They don't even know basic respect . They deserve to be beaten . " Zhao Ming Qing was an understanding man but he was extremely strict with his own children . He went to the lobby and took a duster from the staff . Then, he said, 'Miss, I'll borrow this duster for awhile . '"
The person nodded as she had to agree to the requests of customers .
Back in the hall .
Zhao Li Xing and the others looked at each other . "Sigh, we're dead this time . "
Zhao Shi said, "Quickly run away now . When your dad comes back, you'll be doomed . "
Zhao Li Xing shook his head . "Mum, you don't have to say anything else . We'll take it this time . When dad realizes that he has been conned in the future, he'll remember today . "
Then, Zhao Ming Qing's voice came .
"Elder Zhao, listen to me . Forget about it . " Elder Mu said .
The door got pushed open .
Zhao Ming Qing stood there furiously . His teacher had been there and he hadn't wanted things to turn out ugly even though Lin Fan didn't mind . He hadn't wanted to let him see this scene as it was supposed to be a grand ceremony . Now, he couldn't tolerate it anymore .
"Qun Fang, stand aside," Zhao Ming Qing said .
Zhao Qun Fang heaved a sigh of relief . If her dad really started to beat them up, she wouldn't have dared to grumble . However, she was already married and he felt that she should be disciplined by her husband's side only .
The three brothers looked at their sister and it was a little awkward . She was so lucky . She didn't even think of being beaten up together or even say anything nice to appease him .
They knew that they were doomed when they saw their sister's nonchalant expression .
Zhao Ming Qing stood in front of his children . "Do you know what wrong you've done?"
Zhao Li Xing was already in his twenties but he was like a kid kneeling in front of his dad . "Dad, this…"
*Smack!*
Zhao Ming Qing swung the duster at Zhao Li Xing's back . Then, he said firmly, "You're already so old and you think you can handle things yourselves . Do you remember teaching your younger brothers the rules when you were young?"
"I remember," Zhao Li Xing said . He just nodded in agreement .
"Recite it now . " Although Zhao Ming Qing was old, he suddenly raged and beat the three of them with the duster .
Zhao Shi couldn't watch any longer and she shook her head at Elder Mu . However, she didn't say anything as the children had gone overboard this time .
"One should listen to the orders of one's parents and one shouldn't be lazy to execute the task…"
Zhao Ming Qing said sternly, "I tolerated all of that . "
"I tolerated all of that…"
He continued hitting them until he broke down . Zhao Li Xing and his two brothers closed their eyes when they saw that . They felt heartbroken . "One should listen to the teachings of one's parents . "
"One has to be responsible for their parents . "
…
At that moment, a lot of people came .
When they saw what was happening, they were stunned . Then, they gasped, "Elder Zhao, what are you doing? Why are you hitting your sons? Stop!"
Elder Mu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw them . Finally, somebody was there to salvage the situation . Although it was a little late, it wasn't too late .
