Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 36 Isn't this the reason why he wants to take Lin Nan as his apprentice?
"Okay, the old man's affairs have nothing to do with you. General Meng's condition has indeed improved a lot. He can take the previous medicine first. I got another ginseng today. I will make new medicine and bring it to him later. If there is nothing wrong, I will go back first." said the old man.

"Okay, then I'll see Mr. Cui off." Fu Jing turned around and said.

"No need, I know the way. You just stay with General Meng. Maybe he will say something later! Just remember to come to me to get the medicine when the time comes." The old man waved his hand to stop him from moving.

Meng Yichen was standing outside the crowd. Seeing this, he quickly said, "Brother Fu Jing, you don't have to go. I'll go."

"Okay, Yichen, please see Mr. Cui off." Fu Jingzhi nodded and returned to Meng Yixuan's bedside.

"What do you want to say to me, old man?" When they arrived in the yard, the old man looked at Meng Yichen and asked.

"You really can't hide anything from me," Meng Yichen smiled. "I was just thinking about that little disciple you mentioned earlier. If it's convenient, could you take me to meet him?"

"Have you really figured it out?" The old man stared at him suspiciously, "Could it be that you're targeting the mountain behind their village?"

"Look at what you said," Meng Yichen smiled bitterly, "Am I that kind of person? Although there is a certain relationship, it doesn't conflict with my teaching, right?"

"Okay, I'll let you know when I go back. But let's be frank. If you don't really want to teach that kid, just tell me so. His sister isn't one to be fooled. You might end up having to rely on her to get up the mountain. It would be terrible if you end up making things worse."

"Mr. Cui means that the brother and sister are of great importance?"

"I didn't say that," the old man shook his head. "I was just reminding you that although that girl comes from a poor family, she has a temperament that is not something that an ordinary farm girl can have. And... and she has something that only people like your brother have."

"What is it?" Meng Yichen asked blankly.

"Murderous intent!" The old man threw down these two words and turned around to climb into his own carriage.

By the time Meng Yichen reacted and wanted to ask, he could only see the back of a carriage.

“This Mr. Cui!”

After returning to Meng Yixuan's room, Meng Yichen told everyone exactly what he had said to the old man.

"What kind of siblings would make Master Cui want to take them as his disciples? I'm quite curious." Chu Yu spoke first.

"Yes! There is murderous intent. How could a little girl from the village below have murderous intent?" Gao Yong didn't believe it at all.

Only Fu Jing looked at Meng Yichen: "Yichen you..." He didn't know what to say.

"Brother Fu Jing, you don't have to be like this. Brother Ling Qing is right. I do need something new. Besides, my brother and you guys take such good care of me. I'm willing to do something for you." Meng Yichen said with a smile.

"Okay, on that day I'll go with you to see who this little disciple of Master Cui is, and what about his sister? Is she murderous?" Fu Jing knew that he couldn't stop Meng Yichen, so this was the best way he could think of at the moment. He also became somewhat interested in the brother and sister that Master Cui mentioned.

"Okay." Meng Yichen smiled happily.

Soon, three days passed. During these three days, Meng Yixuan's condition became better and better. The frequency of his fingers moving became higher and higher, and his occasional mumbling could even make sounds. However, not much could be heard clearly. They were all "information", "leave quickly", "there is an ambush", "danger", "go into the mountains" and so on. No one could connect these words together.

Lin Xin was not idle during these three days. She went to the old patriarch's house and asked about the process of becoming a disciple and what preparations were needed.

When the old patriarch heard that the old doctor at the town clinic wanted to take Lin Nan as his apprentice, he was very happy for them and even offered to cover the apprenticeship ceremony. However, Lin Xin politely declined. "Grandpa Clan Leader, I know you care about me and Nan Nan, but we can't rely on you for everything. Besides, I'm grown now and can create better conditions for Nan Nan. When I need you, I will definitely come to you, just like now."

"Okay, okay, when Nan boy becomes successful in the future, don't forget to report the good news to the clan leader."

"Don't worry! We all remember how kind you were to us!"

The next day, Lin Xin and Lin Nan went to the town and bought all the things the old patriarch asked them to do. They also specially bought some high-quality Chinese medicinal herbs such as astragalus, ganoderma lucidum, and angelica. They also found a box of precious tea and exquisite tea sets from the supplies collected at the end of the world.

On the third day, she and Lin Nan changed into more formal clothes and took these things to the old man's clinic.

After hearing about their purpose, the old man was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He immediately sent someone to the Meng family to find Meng Yichen as a witness. Unexpectedly, besides Meng Yichen, Fu Jing also came.

When Fu Jing saw the two siblings standing in the old man's house, his eyes narrowed involuntarily. The appearance of these two children...

"Oh, you are finally here. Come on, let me introduce you. This is the little disciple I want to accept, Lin Nan, and this is his sister, the only relative he has in this world." The old man said the last sentence to Fu Jing and Meng Yichen, and then introduced them to Lin Xin and her brother.

When Lin Xin heard Fu Jing's identity, she immediately thought of the copper tube that she had taken out from the tiger's hind leg and left in the space, so she quietly observed Fu Jing secretly.

He is tall and thin, with a stern face, a righteous look between his brows, and a pair of fox eyes that contain shrewdness, as if he is always calculating, but not offensive. He also has a bookish air about him, and does not look like a decisive general, but more like a military advisor who gives advice.

However, Lin Xin had seen his hands holding the tea, and saw that the knuckles and palms were covered with thin calluses, which were obviously left by long-term use of weapons. He walked with a steady lower body, and it was obvious that he had strong kung fu skills.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's get started!" the old man said impatiently.

With his words, everyone took their seats.

The little Lin Nan glanced at his sister, and with the encouragement of her eyes, he patted his clothes carefully with both hands, washed his hands once with the water brought by the little apprentice next to him, and dried them.

Then he knelt on both knees before the old man and kowtowed three times, then uttered in a childish voice: "Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."

The old man happily called him up, which was considered as his consent to his becoming his disciple.

After that, it was time to present gifts. Lin Nan presented the "Six Gifts and Compliments" prepared by Lin Xin in advance as well as additional gifts such as medicinal materials, tea, tea sets, etc.

The little old man took it while twirling his beard, and the young apprentice next to him handed him the teacup.

Lin Nan carefully took it with her little hands and held it in front of the old man, "Master, please have some tea."

The old man took it, took a sip and began to lecture.

"Lin Nan, since you have become my disciple, you must remember to respect life, practice the sincerity of a great doctor, study hard, delve into research diligently, and carry forward medical culture."

"Yes, Master, I will remember this." Lin Nan responded seriously.

At this point, all the procedures have been completed. The old man happily twirled his beard and laughed, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood.
