"I'm sorry!"
His jaw clenched as Pang Tangping spat out those 2 words.
Baili Hongzhuang raised her eyebrow, confused, "What was that? It was so quiet, how could we hear it?"
"Hongzhuang, don't go too far!"
Pang Tangping couldn't help but burst out in anger. He who was always chased after for his medical prowess now being ridiculed and mocked by a little girl, he was simply unable to stand it!
When Pang Tangping had exploded, before Baili Hongzhuang could reply, Ning Hong had already matched him tit for tat, opposing him with equivalent harshness.
"Pang Tangping, if your apology isn't sincere, then we can guarantee you won't walk out that door!"
Ning Hong's aura, a mix of power and influence suddenly broke out. Earlier, he had swallowed his insults for the sake of the Crown Prince, in fear that offending Pang Tangping would represent losing a chance of the cure.
But now that he knew Pang Tangping couldn't cure the Crown Prince, he would let him know why his Imperial Physical Institute wasn't a place outsiders could bully easily!
Pang Tangping would rather have his mouth ripped than to relent and apologize. He understood that no matter today's outcome, his reputation would still be finished.
Realizing his intentions, Ning Hong didn't waste time as he waved in a guard. He wanted to put Pang Tangping in jail!
Pang Tangping watched this scene in fear. If he was forced into jail, his later days will definitely be very miserable!
Pang Tangping shouted hastily, "Wait a moment!"
Ning Hong turned, his cold eyes facing Pang Tangping.
"I'll apologize!" Pang Tangping resigned to his fate as he shouted. His body seemed to deflate like a rubber ball, no longer the least bit arrogant or prideful as before.
Ning Hong waved his hands, letting the guard retreat.
"I'm sorry!" Pang Tangping yelled loudly, his voice bitter and resentful.
Now that he had finished, he was no longer willing to stay for even another moment, directly leaving the East Palace.
Ning Hong didn't stop Pang Tangping as he watched him leave. He didn't believe that he would have the guts to come back and harass the institution again.
"Hongzhuang lady, you can rest assured about the bet. I'll send some people to make sure that he'll definitely pay you back." Ning Hong's voice was gentle, "I'll send the money to Godly Doctor Square as soon as we get it."
"Then many thanks, elder." Baili Hongzhuang smiled. Ning Hong's offer saved her a lot of trouble.
Congratulations were heard as soon as she had finished speaking. Everybody wanted to build connections with Baili Hongzhuang who had mastered the long lost art of acupuncture.
If they could learn a thing or two from her here and there, their statuses might change overnight!
Looking at the enthusiastic crowd, Baili Hongzhuang hurried to find an excuse to leave the East Palace, unused to such a scene.
As she walked out of the East Palace, a smile bloomed elegantly on Baili Hongzhuang's face. "Today's profit was really good! I had done almost nothing, and still got a hundred thousand gold coins just like that!"
With two hundred thousand gold coins in her hands, there's no need to worry about cultivation resources for quite a while!
For the hunting banquet not too far away, Baili Hongzhuang needed to break through as soon as possible.
"Master is wise!" Little White praised. He hadn't expected to make the money so easily!
Baili Hongzhuang laughed heartily, "Come! Today I'll take you to that popular hot pot place!"
In the following two days, Ning Hong followed Baili Hongzhuang's instructions with Xuanyuan Huan's medicine and his condition gradually started to clear up. His blisters slowly disappeared, until he was finally completely brought back from the brink of death!
The news spread from the East Palace to the whole Imperial City. Soon, everybody knew that the Crown Prince's illness that even the imperial physicians were helpless against, was cured by Godly Doctor Square's Hongzhong!
One passed on to ten, ten passed on to a hundred as Godly Doctor Square's fame rose to unprecedented heights.
In just a short time, everybody in the imperial city knew that not only did Hongzhuang of Godly Doctor Square cure the acclaimed "incurable" disease, but had also mastered the long lost godly art of acupuncture!
Many people were ashamed. They had eyes, but they couldn't see Mt. Tai! Such a great opportunity had been put right in front of them, yet they didn't cherish it, and now they could only regret.
Godly Doctor Square was bustling as business flourished. They had already become one of the most distinguished hospitals in the Imperial City!
Godly Doctor Square.
Ji Wenbei looked at the busy workplace, completely stunned.
A few days ago, Godly Doctor Square didn't have any customers at all. But just as he was worrying over the fact, Ji Wenbei never would've expected that Godly Doctor Square would've become so famous in but a few days!
And even that wasn't what had astonished Ji Wenbei the most. What had shocked him the most was how, at such a young age, she had mastered the art of acupuncture that had been lost for hundreds of years!
As he recalled Baili Hongzhuang's previous self-confidence as she displayed the words, "Godly Doctor Square" on the plaque, only now did he understand just why she could be so confident. But before, he hadn't believed in her.
"Hongzhuang girl, I never thought you were actually this skilled in medicine. It was my eyes that were bad, and couldn't see."
Ji Wenbei was somewhat embarrassed as he spoke. When Godly Doctor Square had just opened, he had believed that Baili Hongzhuang was only stirring up trouble, and acted rather rudely to her.
Baili Hongzhuang just waved her hands and smiled. "Big brother Ji, I know my appearance holds no credibility. You were already quite good to me."
Hearing her words, the shame in Ji Wenbei's heart dissipated and appreciated Baili Hongzhuang even more.
Now that he saw how successful her Godly Doctor Square had become, he was also happy for her.
"Big brother Ji, the hospital's business has been very busy lately, and is too much for me alone. Might you possibly have some servants you can recommend me?" Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but ask.
After she gets her hands on the money from the reward and bet, Baili Hongzhuang had already decided to only diagnose and treat 3 patients a day. After all, cultivation was the most important, and money was only to pave her way.
With the hospital so busy for the past two days, she might as well expand Godly Doctor Square some more……
She had allocated some omnipotent detoxifying pills and some other pills on the shelves, so she only needs some people to watch over it.
"There were two disciples that used to work under the old doctor. Although their medicinal skills aren't the best, they have no problems with most common illnesses, and are at least better than outsiders."
"Personality?" Baili Hongzhuang questioned.
The staff she gets now would most likely turn out important in the future. If their personalities aren't good, then it isn't a small problem.
Ji Wenbei knew of Baili Hongzhong's concerns and waved his hands as he said, "Don't worry. I know them quite well, and their personalities aren't mad."
Listening to Ji Wenbei, she nodded, "Well then, please call them over tomorrow."
Ji Wenbei was a little surprised, "You aren't taking a look?"
"With big brother Ji's recommendations, I can rest assured."
Baili Hongzhuang smiled. Whether it was Ji Wenbei or the old doctor, they were all honest people. With those two, she didn't believe that the disciples characters could be all that bad.
