Hearing this, Zhang Quan couldn't help but look Shen Qingyan from head to toe, and then from toe to head again. He said, half-believingly, "Are you an official from Lingxiao City? Why do you look different from what they described?"

Then he pointed at Qiao Xi and said, "You don't even have an official uniform. Did she find you to deceive me?"

Shen Qingyan didn't take Zhang Quan's suspicion seriously, because this wasn't the first time he'd been suspected.

He rarely wore his official uniform except when attending court or handling cases. He didn't put on airs and was used to being suspected.

He can tolerate it, but some people can't.

"How dare you!" Shen Liuguang took a step forward and looked at Zhang Quan angrily, "My master is a third-rank official of the current dynasty. How can you question him? Besides, who told you that officials must wear official uniforms when traveling? Humph, you are so ignorant!"

Zhang Quan was a crude man, and had no idea how high a rank a third-rank official was. After Shen Liuguang finished speaking, he did not react at all, and even the doubt in his eyes did not disappear.

In the courtyard, apart from Zhang Quan who looked ignorant, Xu Chong and Liu Lichun also looked at Shen Liuguang in confusion without saying a word.

But Xu Zhiliang, the village head, knew something about it.

So when he heard the words "third-rank official", he first looked at Shen Qingyan in astonishment, and then looked at Qiao Xi. He saw that although her expression did not change much, she looked at Shen Qingyan with respect in her eyes.

I'm afraid the person standing in front of me is really a third-rank official of the current dynasty.

Xu Zhiliang didn't care about anything else and knelt on the ground with a plop. After kneeling down, he saw Xu Chong and Liu Lichun were still standing. He said anxiously, "Why are you still standing? Kneel down and salute the adults."

After saying that, he saw that Xu Chong and Liu Lichun had not yet knelt, so he reached out and grabbed the corner of Xu Chong's clothes who was closest to him and pulled him to the ground.

Liu Lichun reacted and saw Qiao Xi still standing. When she was hesitating whether to kneel, she saw someone pulling Xu Chong to kneel down. Without giving it any time to think, she knelt on the ground obediently.

In the blink of an eye, there were only nine people in the hospital. Excluding the two people brought by Shen Qingyan and the military doctor, there were only five people left.

And three of the five people actually knelt down.

Qiao Xi thought it was not good for her to be different, so she knelt down as well.

When Zhang Quan saw her kneeling, he dispelled his doubts. Fearing that the official in front of him would punish him for disrespect, he bent his knees and knelt down quickly.

When Xiao Yushan saw Qiao Xi kneeling down, he wanted to go forward and pull her up.

But thinking that he had not yet accepted her as his disciple, and that she should kneel, he had to give up the idea.

However, he could make his apprentice kneel for a shorter time.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yushan moved to Shen Qingyan's side and whispered, "Shen Pingning, how long do you plan to continue showing off your authority? Sister-in-law Xu Yi has injured her knees from kneeling for too long. Who will take care of your future beloved disciple?"

A family must love their own apprentice. If he wants to accept Xu Yi as his apprentice, he cannot be harsh on his apprentice's family.

Shen Qingyan and Xiao Yushan are good friends, so how could he not know his temper?

Since I met him, I have never seen him speak for outsiders.

What happened today?

Could it be that he also took a fancy to Xu Yi and wanted to take him as his disciple?

That won't work. With Xu Yi's qualifications, he will pursue a career in politics. Besides, if he accepts Xu Yi as his apprentice, what can he teach him? Medical skills?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingyan looked at Xiao Yushan with a wary look in his eyes: "Did you take the wrong medicine today? Or do you have some new plan? I'm warning you, Xu Yi is the disciple I chose first, don't even think about competing with me for him."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yushan knew that his friend had misunderstood.

He couldn't help but roll his eyes and said unhappily: "Do you think everyone has the same vision as you? To tell you the truth, I have my eyes on an apprentice, but it's not Xu Yi, you can rest assured. Okay, can you please let him get up first?"

Seeing Qiao Xi rubbing her knees with her hands, Xiao Yushan urged again.

Hearing his friend say that he had taken a fancy to an apprentice, Shen Qingyan was both surprised and curious, but before asking, he let everyone stand up as he wished.

"Sir, please sit down!"

At some point, Shen Liuguang brought a chair from inside the house, wiped it with his sleeve, and then asked Shen Qingyan to sit down.

But before Shen Qingyan sat down, Xiao Yushan raised his foot and sat on the chair first.

Looking at Shen Liuguang, he smiled and said, "Oh, I was feeling a little tired of standing, and Xiao Guangguang brought a chair over. How thoughtful of him. Don't worry, I won't sit on this chair in vain. In the future, I will keep an eye out for any young women who come to see me for medical treatment to see if there is any suitable wife for our Xiao Guangguang."

The chair he had moved for the adult was taken by the adult's friend first. Shen Liuguang was speechless. He wanted to move another one, but he didn't want to hear Xiao Yushan's address to him, and he felt a chill all over his body.

But he was afraid that Xiao Yushan would really find him a wife among his patients, so regardless of his discomfort, he waved his hand and said hurriedly: "Dr. Xiao's kindness is appreciated, but Liuguang likes to stay with adults and has no plans to start a family, so there is no need for Dr. Xiao to worry about it.

Also, Doctor Xiao, you can just call me Liuguang or Shen Liuguang."

Xiao Yushan: "Hey, isn't Xiao Guangguang quite nice, Kuzhu? Don't you think so?"

"Yeah, it sounds nice. Little Guang Guang! Puff!"

Hearing Xiao Yushan calling him, Kuzhu hurriedly nodded and expressed his opinion, but seeing the way he was trying to hold back his laughter, he knew that what he said was probably different from what he thought in his heart.

At the end of the story, Kuzhu seemed unable to bear it any longer and laughed out loud.

Well, one by one, everyone came to make fun of him. Shen Liuguang's cheeks turned red visibly, but it was not because of shyness, but because he was angry.

But the two people in front of him, one was the adult's good friend, and the other he couldn't beat. Shen Liuguang was helpless with them and had to move a chair to leave this place of trouble.

Soon, he brought another chair, wiped it clean, and extended his hand to invite Shen Qingyan to sit on it.

Shen Qingyan coughed lightly and glanced at the two smiling people.

When he coughed lightly, Kuzhu tried hard to stop smiling, and stood behind him with a stern face, holding the sword.

Seeing that Shen Liuguang was unhappy and his friend had given him a hint, Xiao Yushan hurriedly stopped. If he really annoyed him, Shen Pingning would probably nag him endlessly again.

Seeing that the two of them were finally at peace, Shen Qingyan looked at Zhang Quan and said slowly, "Tell me, what kind of justice do you want to uphold?"

Hearing his question, Zhang Quan secretly complained to himself: I finally remembered this. I thought this gentleman had forgotten it.

His eyebrows drooped, his mouth pursed, and he repeated what had just happened with an exaggerated tone, looking very aggrieved.

After he finished speaking, he didn't forget to howl sadly twice.

But before Shen Qingyan could say anything, Liu Lichun, who had been standing quietly by the side, became anxious and afraid when she heard Zhang Quan, this shameless man, put all the blame on her. Because of her anxiety, her mouth was not as fluent as before, and she could not even finish her words.
