YM778.TV Chapter 165 - Ki Zao
"Zin Shi, looks like I need to take my leave now. I created such a disturbance in your guild so I won\'t trouble you any further." Jin Rou said to Zin Shi, who was just awakened from her daze.
"But..." Zin Shi hesitated for a bit and eventually said, "You did not cause trouble at all. In fact, you having the way to cure for the Lunaite Disease will be a major breakthrough in the field of medicine. Considering that fact, I don\'t think you can leave just like this."
"Little Zin is right, young man." Soon, an old man with a white hair had appeared out of nowhere, he was being accompanied by four old men also. The old man in the middle had a robe with a herb logo and had 8 stars logo below it. The four accompanying him also had 8 stars, however, judging by how they walked, the man in the middle seemed like the leader of them.
"And you are?" Jin Rou was very aware that there were people watching silently in the shadows since before he started. However, he did not pay any mind about them and just let them be. Now that they appeared, he could smell some unwanted trouble.
"Ah... pardon me, pardon me." The old man in the middle laughed heartily. However, the four accompanying him knitted their brows, showing extreme displeasure due to Jin Rou\'s tone. The old man gestured them not to say anything which the four acknowledged.
After which, the old man continued, "I am the guildmaster of the Physicians Guild. You can call me Ki Zhao."
"Then Senior Zhao, what can I do for you?" Jin Rou asked with a tone that he was in a hurry. He just wanted to save that child due to he was amazed by the mentality and inner heart of the child. He did not want unnecessary trouble after that.
"You are not beating into the bush, are you?" Ki Zhao laughed, "Very well. Though I know you already knew why, I, on behalf of the guild, would like to have the way of curing the Lunaite Disease no matter what. Just name your price."
"The way to cure the Lunaite Disease, you say?" Jin Rou had guessed right. They wanted it.
"Yes. As you are probably aware, though it is shameful to say, my guild had never had a breakthrough about this disease even for a very long time. We don\'t even know where this disease came from so we could avoid it. We have buried ourselves in research about this disease. We have spent so much time that it did not even bore fruit for our hard work. This research that was already passed down generation after generation. And I am part of the 41st generation. Sadly speaking, we only had a hypothesis about this disease so far." Ki Zhao bitterly smiled as he explained the bitter past of their guild.
Everyone on standby was speechless. Never did they expect that the Physician Guild, who stood tall even in the grounds of La Estance had such a tragic and bitter past. After all, the master physicians of the guild had more worth than wealth. Hiring an expert master physician from the guild would be difficult unless you have a high status in Grivexia.
Jin Rou did not speak for a moment and pondered things before saying, "Okay, you just want the way for curing that disease, right? Then I have a condition."
"Please dare to speak." Ki Zhao\'s eyes flashed with delight, "As long as my guild can give it, then you can see it as sealed."
"Then I won\'t beat around the bush." Jin Rou said, "I want to have a badge of a master physician. I don\'t care how many stars. I just want to have a badge as to make myself an official master physician."
"You are not yet a master physician?" Ki Zhao was stumped to hear this. He always thought that this man was an already high-rank master physician that secluded for a long time. Or someone from the higher worlds that descended here.
"I am not one yet. That\'s why I\'m asking for an official badge that came from your guild." Jin Rou said.
"You are not a master physician yet you dared to practice medicine to someone who dying a while ago? Do you know that you can be imprisoned for what you did?" Senior Liu, who was silent all the time, found a wound and rub it with salt against Jin Rou.
"I am really not. However, I cured something you did not able to do so. If the mother believed you and her child was killed while I really had the ability to save the child, wouldn\'t you be a sinner of the Physician Guild? Having a death sentence would not please the aggrieved elder of such a powerful sect. Don\'t you think so? You\'re aging yet your mindset is kind of still backward. What a shame." Jin Rou fought back with words with an extreme tone of sarcasm. He did not hold back at all which made some bystanders laugh.
"You..."
"Stop shaming yourself and our guild, Sao Liu. You are pulling not just your leg but our guild\'s leg also!" Ki Zhao raised his voice in annoyance and said, "You already displeased the Terrace Everland Pavilion. Wasn\'t it yet enough?"
"I..." Senior Liu\'s heart trembled and just lowered his head in shame. He was gritting his teeth in anger. He was now sure that he wanted Jin Rou dead no matter what. As a matter of fact, he was already planning of what to do.
"I\'m very sorry if this junior of mine is rude. Please don\'t take offense about that as he was still inexperienced." Ki Zhao humbly apologized as if he was talking to someone with higher status. Although he wanted Senior Liu to be the next guild master, the precondition was he was qualified enough to be one. After all, being a guild master held great and heavy responsibility.
"I, too, am also inexperienced so I don\'t mind at all." Jin Rou smiled. However, he noticed the murderous aura coming from Senior Liu which directed to him. Seems like a fool was about to dig his own grave, huh?
"Then let\'s go to my private room and continue our talk there." Ki Zhao invited. Whatever the identity of this young man, as long as he could get the way, then it did not matter how much he needed to pay. Compared to this major breakthrough, everything else paled in comparison.
