However, Gu Qingchen did not have the time to think about this. She stared at Doctor Hua with her clear eyes and said, “72 years old.”

Doctor Hua stroked his beard and nodded. He then continued to ask, “Guess how many medical books I have?”

“1,120.”

Doctor Hua’s eyes lit up and he continued to ask, “What was my age when I had my first love?”

Cough, cough, cough!

Gu Qingchen looked at Doctor Hua’s bright eyes which seemed to be looking forward to her answer. She felt a little awkward.

Although Doctor Hua’s questions were very strange, she still answered honestly, “Seven years old.”

When this question and answer were over, Doctor Hua was overjoyed. He even clapped his hands. He did not look as mature as before.

Gu Qingchen was naturally dumbfounded. She seriously suspected that there was something wrong with this Doctor Hua.

Just when Gu Qingchen was in a daze, Doctor Hua suddenly appeared in front of Gu Qingchen. He stared at Gu Qingchen with his bright eyes. Gu Qingchen’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that he had seen through something?

No, her matter was so strange that no one would know. She had to be calm.

“Little girl, I’ll ask you a few more questions. If you can answer all of them, the Hundred Herb Hall will be yours.”

......

From Doctor Hua’s expression, Gu Qingchen could see that he was sharpening his knife. However, she did not panic. After thinking for a while, she slowly said, “You’ve already asked three questions, and I’ve already answered them. If I answer all of them correctly, the Hundred Herb Hall will be mine.”

She could only use her mind-reading five times a day. If she used it too much, she would have a headache. She did not want to take the risk.

And today, she had already used it four times.

Doctor Hua looked at the calm and collected girl in front of him. He could not see any expression on her face. It was as if she was stating a fact.

Unconsciously, he had a feeling that he had found the most suitable candidate. However...

“This is my Hundred Herb Hall. If I want to ask more than three questions, then I’ll ask them. It’s not that easy to grab a bargain!”

Doctor Hua seemed to be very persistent and a little shameless. Gu Qingchen raised her eyes and met Doctor Hua’s eyes. Then, she slowly stood up and walked towards the outer hall.

“Hey! You little girl, why did you leave just like that? Stop right there, stop, stop, stop!”

Doctor Hua was so anxious. He did not expect Gu Qingchen to refuse to answer his questions and even wanted to leave.

It was not easy for him to find a person that he was satisfied with. He was determined not to let her run away just like that.

In a place that Doctor Hua did not see, Gu Qingchen’s lips curled up slightly, but she quickly restrained herself.

“Girl, you have quite a temper. You left just like that. You’re too irresponsible!”

Doctor Hua actually started to complain about Gu Qingchen. Gu Qingchen sized Doctor Hua up and said, “I answered the three questions correctly, right?”

“That’s right, you answered correctly!”

Gu Qingchen nodded and said, “Since I answered correctly, you’re still not willing to give the Hundred Herb Hall to me, right?”

Hearing this question, Doctor Hua was a little anxious. “Who said that! I just want to ask you a few more questions.”

“But I don’t want to answer. It’s not that I’m irresponsible, but it’s that you’re not keeping your word, Doctor Hua.”

Doctor Hua was so angry that his teeth were itching. Everyone had always been very polite to him and treated him as their ancestor. Now that he was suddenly provoked by Gu Qingchen, he felt a little depressed.

But he could not find anything wrong with Gu Qingchen. It was indeed what he said. By answering three questions, as long as he was satisfied, the Hundred Herb Hall would belong to that person.

Among so many people, Gu Qingchen was the only one that he was satisfied with.

Moreover, there did not seem to be many people left. It seemed to be a little difficult to meet such a girl again.

Doctor Hua glanced at the outer hall. When he saw that there was only Elder Yuan standing in line alone, his expression instantly fell, and he looked miserable.

“Okay! I won’t ask, the Hundred Herb Hall belongs to you!”

He couldn’t let others say that he was an old man who didn’t keep his word and bullied a little girl.

Before Gu Qingchen could show a happy expression, Doctor Hua continued, “However, there is one condition.”

Gu Qingchen slightly glanced at him and thought for a moment before asking, “What condition?”

Who knew that Doctor Hua would mysteriously smile? “Make a guess!”

Damn it!

Gu Qingchen almost swore. This old man was just teasing her!

Seeing that Gu Qingchen was about to turn around again, Doctor Hua could only say, “You don’t have to guess anymore. The condition is that you have to acknowledge me as your master and become my disciple.”

When Gu Qingchen heard this, her mind was moved. It was not impossible for her to acknowledge Doctor Hua as her master.

She had heard from many people outside that Doctor Hua’s medical skills seemed to be very good. Since there were so many people who came here because of his name, it meant that other than having a strange temperament, Doctor Hua’s medical skills were very passable.

It would also be a good thing if she could take such a doctor as her master.

All along, Gu Qingchen had been in contact with medicine the most. Moreover, being a doctor was very profitable.

It was not that she was a philistine, but that she was indeed short of money now.

“Deal.”

The corner of Doctor Hua’s mouth twitched twice. Why did he feel that taking in a disciple felt different? It was as if Gu Qingchen was very reluctant.

Since he had already chosen a candidate, Doctor Hua went to the outer hall with a sage-like appearance. He looked at the people who had not left yet, as well as Elder Yuan who was in the queue. He waved his hand and said, “The owner of the Hundred Herb Hall has been chosen. Everyone can go back now.”

Then, without even looking at Elder Yuan, he walked towards the inner hall.

Those who had not left were all stunned. Then, they began to discuss among themselves.

“It can’t be. So many of us failed, and that little girl was the one who grabbed the bargain?”

“Those questions were very difficult, and she got it all right? How lucky.”

“Isn’t her luck too good? Damn, she can even go buy lottery tickets.”

“Sigh, let’s go, there’s no use staying. We have no chance, but that little girl is very lucky. Tsk tsk, such a big Hundred Herb Hall become hers just like that.”

Seeing that they had no share in the Hundred Herb Hall, everyone went to the door to take the medicinal herbs and left.

“Girl, you can acknowledge me as your master. Oh right, I still don’t know your name.”

Only then did Doctor Hua remember to ask Gu Qingchen for her name.

“Master, my name is Gu Qingchen.”

Since she had acknowledged him as her master, even if Doctor Hua’s behavior was very strange, she still had to respect him.

“Yes, I understand. You can kowtow three times and toast the tea. Those ceremonies don’t matter.”

Gu Qingchen took a look at Doctor Hua, who became a little more normal once more, before kneeling respectfully and kowtowing three times. Then, she poured a cup of tea from the table beside her and offered it to Doctor Hua.

She did not know if what she did was right or not, but she copied what she had seen from the television and shouted, “Master, please have some tea.”

Doctor Hua took the teacup and took a sip. Then, he placed the teacup on the table beside him and said, “Hmm, girl, you can get up now.”

Gu Qingchen stood up calmly and stood in front of Doctor Hua. It was just like what was played on the television. Usually, after becoming a disciple, the master would teach them a little. Therefore, Gu Qingchen did not say anything and waited for Doctor Hua to teach her.

“Girl, since you have already become my disciple, I will give you your first task.”
