Martial Arts Crossover: Something's Wrong with This Evil Sect

Chapter 27 I'm a professional at hiring people

As they spoke, the two arrived at Li Guishou's residence.

A lake comes into view.

The lake is extremely large, its water as smooth as a mirror, shimmering and sparkling, appearing tranquil and beautiful.

In the center of the lake, a lone wooden boat rests quietly, with tattered lanterns hanging on either side of its bow.

"A boat is moored on the lake, with lanterns hanging on both sides. How elegant! This is a humble abode, but my virtue makes it fragrant. This Li Guishou seems to be a person of taste."

Looking at the scene before him, Shan Tianxie couldn't help but sigh, "This Li Guishou seems to be a refined person, just like me."

However, it's also curious that such a famous doctor would live in such a dilapidated boat, since a doctor like him shouldn't be short of money.

Li Guishou is a very strange person. Although he doesn't have the rule of killing one person to save another like Ping Yizhi, he never moves on land. He eats, drinks, and relieves himself on the boat. He changes his location every once in a while, so his whereabouts are unpredictable.

Only the Hua family's wealth could have allowed them to find his whereabouts in such a short time.

"Let's go see this legendary doctor, Li Guishou."

As Shan Tianxie spoke, he took the lead and boarded a small boat. He stood at the bow with his hands behind his back, looking incredibly dashing, while Xi Yu struggled to row the boat, almost grinding her teeth to powder.

Soon, they approached Li Guishou's ship. Shan Tianxie nimbly leaped and landed steadily on the deck. He lifted the curtain and went inside, with Xiyu following closely behind.

"A guest has arrived."

As soon as I stepped into the cabin, I heard a child's sweet voice. Then, a beautiful little girl ran over and asked with a grin, "Are you here to see Grandpa for a medical checkup? Do you know the rules?"

Looking at the adorable little girl in front of her, Xi Yu's eyes were full of affection. She shook her head, patted the little girl's head, and said, "What rules? I don't know them since this is my first time here."

"The poor are paid nothing for medical treatment, while the rich are paid a fortune for a single visit."

The little girl spoke earnestly, like a little adult, exuding indescribable cuteness.

"Brothers and sisters are poor, can you not charge us?"

Xi Yu pretended to be pitiful and secretly tore her own clothes when the little girl wasn't looking, showing them to her in an attempt to amuse her.

"Then we won't charge you. Come on, I'll take you to find Grandpa."

The little girl didn't suspect anything and hurriedly pulled Xiyu to the back.

As they traveled along, Shan Tianxie realized he was wrong. The cabin was extremely spacious, a hidden world, with exquisite interior decorations, and complete with floors, furniture, and beds.

Damn it! I praised him too soon. This Li Guishou is really rich!

The little girl, accompanied by a light drizzle, approached an old man. "Grandpa," she said, "this lady is here for a medical checkup. She's very poor; her clothes are all tattered. Please don't take her money."

The old man slowly turned around, his thin figure and narrow eyes under his goatee scanning the two. He instantly realized that the man and woman were dressed in ways that were not ordinary. Only his granddaughter was naive enough to believe that they were from a poor family. The old man was not one to tolerate such nonsense.

Dan Tianxie looked around and saw that the medicine cabinet and mortar and pestle were all there. He nodded to himself: This person must be the legendary doctor Li Guishou!

"Shao'er, you little rascal, you treat patients for free every day, where will your dowry come from in the future?"

Li Guishou laughed and raised his hands as if to hit her, but the little girl was not afraid. She quickly hid behind Xiyu and stuck her head out to make a face.

"Grandpa's mean, I'm not playing with you anymore, hmph."

As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl ran out in a flash.

"Hehe, my granddaughter is a bit mischievous, please don't take offense. May I ask what brings you here?"

Li Guishou asked with a smile.

Xi Yu was taken aback. Who said Li Guishou was eccentric and difficult to get along with? He was clearly quite polite.

He then smiled and said, "I've heard that Doctor Li's medical skills are amazing. My young master would like to ask you to treat someone. Would you please come with us?"

Instead of revealing her intentions directly, Xi Yu pretended that someone in her family was sick. After all, the matter of Luo Mo's remains was of great importance, so she decided to wait until Li Guishou arrived before making any further statements.

Unexpectedly, the smiling Li Guishou chuckled after hearing this.

His face instantly darkened, and his tone turned icy cold as he said, "I have practiced medicine for many years, treating patients entirely based on my personal preferences. Want to be treated? Not impossible! Bring your patient to my clinic, offer a thousand taels of gold, and expect me to come to your door in person? Dream on!"

Upon hearing this, Xi Yu was stunned. How could this person's face change so quickly, like a dog's? This world of martial arts was ultimately too complicated. She began to miss her days as an assassin, when things were simple and pure.

Dan Tianxie, who was standing to the side, burst out laughing, "Hahahaha, sorry, Xiyu, I wasn't mocking you, I just couldn't help it."

Ignoring Xi Yu's increasingly unpleasant expression, he turned around and sat down at the table in front of Li Guishou, saying, "Dr. Li, I am very sincere. Are you really not going?"

Li Guishou has been practicing medicine for many years and has seen all sorts of shameless tricks, but he has never seen anyone so arrogant.

His beard trembled with anger. He snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back, and shook his head, saying, "No, no! The old man is unhappy now. I wouldn't go even for ten thousand taels of gold."

The light rain beside him looked at him with a mocking gaze, as if to say, "You boasted before, now let's see how you invite people."

Ordinary people would find it hard to understand the meaning, but Shan Tianxie understood it. Seeing Li Guishou's resolute attitude, he stopped arguing and directly demonstrated his way of inviting people to help to Xi Yu. He punched Li Guishou in the head.

Li Guishou never expected someone to be so rude. Being an ordinary person without martial arts skills, he couldn't react in time and fainted instantly.

Xi Yu was almost speechless with shock. This is how they invite people?!

“I already told you I’m a professional at hiring people, what are you still standing there for? Come and take charge.”

With that, he tossed the fake hand to Xi Yu, and the two strode out of the cabin.

The little girl playing outside saw her grandfather being carried out, and her eyes immediately reddened. She thought the two people had killed her grandfather. She rushed to Xiyu, clenched her fists, and waved her fair little fists.

A few years ago, even if Xiyu liked it, she would have ruthlessly eliminated it completely.

However, now that Blackstone has been destroyed, she seems to be living more and more like a human being. Looking at the little girl, she hesitates to do anything, and is even afraid of hurting the little girl if she pushes her away.

Besides, he didn't have any grudge against her; he just wanted Li Guishou's help to decipher the remains of Rama. If the girl's granddaughter were harmed, Li Guishou would probably rather die than help her.

Seeing that Xi Yu was standing there motionless, Shan Tianxie walked over, picked up the little girl and coaxed her, "Your grandpa is fine. Your brother just sent him to get treatment. Don't you know your grandpa's temper? The patient at home is too urgent to wait."

Upon hearing this, the little girl reached out and touched her grandfather's nose. Hmm, he was indeed not dead. She calmed down and remained in Shan Tianxie's arms.

After the two went ashore, they headed straight for Zuisheng Pavilion.
