Chapter 68 -66: Entering City High School and Buying a House and Shop 3
Having successfully purchased the property, it was nearly noon when the three found a secluded private dining restaurant close to Blue Bay Scenery for a meal.
“We used to come to this private dining restaurant often, the food is quite good, Qin Qin, you should eat more.” Tang Xin cheerfully called out to Qin Qin.
Qin Qin didn’t hold back; she indeed felt a bit hungry.
After their meal, Jing Feng and Tang Xin took Qin Qin for a stroll nearby to familiarize themselves with the surroundings.
When they arrived at the entrance of a small alley, Qin Qin stopped in her tracks and looked towards a shop to her right. It was a traditional Chinese medicine shop with a sign indicating that the shop was for lease or sale. Inside, a young man, almost twenty years old, was idly napping at the counter.
“What’s the matter? Do you want to buy this shop?” asked Jing Feng, immediately noticing Qin Qin’s intent.
Tang Xin also looked over, puzzled. A shop so secluded, in this location?!
“Qin Qin, there are many shops with great locations for you to choose from. Why don’t we accompany you to take a look?”
Qin Qin smiled at Tang Xin and shook her head, “Sister Xin, do you think I need those better-located shops with my abilities? This one is quite nice. I prefer quieter places and don’t like to join the hubbub.”
Tang Xin was momentarily taken aback, then smiled and nodded, “Right, with your abilities, you can do well without competing every day; there’s no need to go for those shops.”
Qin Qin smiled.
Jing Feng looked at the shop’s façade, which was obviously old and even quite damaged, and frowned slightly, “This shop must have been here for a long time, hasn’t it?!”
“Of course, this shop has been here on our street for over twenty years. If it weren’t for Doctor Bai’s granddaughter getting into trouble and him losing the heart to run the Pharmacy, he definitely wouldn’t have decided to transfer it,” said an elderly woman with white hair, shaking her head in disapproval. “Doctor Bai is very skilled, but it’s a shame his granddaughter inexplicably coughed up blood, and even he was unable to cure her. Even worse, he spent all his wealth on trying to heal her and had to sell the shop. It’s truly a pity.”
Having spoken to herself, the old woman slowly walked away.
Qin Qin looked at the shop not far away. A man, of about sixty years old, emerged from behind the shop, and a pale, thin girl around thirteen or fourteen years of age followed him. The girl smiled at the old man, but in the next moment, she broke into violent coughing. She quickly took out a handkerchief and began coughing into it. After a long while, when her face had turned pale from coughing, she finally stopped. The old man looked on with heartache as she coughed, wiping away tears silently.
Qin Qin had good eyesight; she could clearly see the streak of red on the girl’s handkerchief—that was blood.

After a moment of silence, Qin Qin walked towards the traditional Chinese medicine shop.
Xiao Yuan was an orphan who had been adopted by Doctor Bai when he was young. He had been learning medical skills and preparing medicines alongside Doctor Bai. Though not an expert, he could treat some minor colds.
Hearing footsteps at the door, Xiao Yuan looked up to see three people with imposing elegance and fine demeanors approaching. The leader was a girl of about eighteen, with a delicate and pretty appearance and flawless skin, which even up close showed no signs of blemish, leaving Xiao Yuan momentarily stunned. He then shifted his gaze to the couple behind the girl; they looked to be husband and wife. The man supported the woman as they walked cautiously, and the woman’s gait obviously belonged to someone who was pregnant.
“Are the three of you here to see a doctor? Are you looking to get treatment for this lady?” Xiao Yuan approached as customers arrived.
Qin Qin looked toward Xiao Yuan and then shook her head, “Is your shop for transfer?”
Doctor Bai, who had been chatting with his granddaughter who hadn’t come out for a long time, looked up when he heard someone ask about the shop. Seeing that it was a very young girl who had inquired, he said a couple of words to his granddaughter, who smiled. Doctor Bai then stood up and walked towards Qin Qin and her two companions.
“Are the three of you here to check out the shop?!”
Qin Qin looked at Doctor Bai and then lifted her lips into a slight smile, “Doctor Bai?”
“Yes, is this young lady the one interested in buying the shop?” Doctor Bai could tell right away that it was the young girl before him who wanted to purchase the shop.
Qin Qin nodded, “I wonder how Doctor Bai would sell this shop?”
“May I ask what you intend to do with this shop?” Doctor Bai asked in a low voice.
Qin Qin arched her eyebrows, and with a slight smile said, “The same as Doctor Bai.”
Doctor Bai was taken aback and his brows relaxed, “Does your family also have a physician?!”
Upon hearing this, Qin Qin shook her head slightly, and seeing her light shake of the head, Doctor Bai’s brow furrowed slightly, “Young lady, if your family has no physician, then you want to open a pharmacy? Excuse me, but I cannot sell the pharmacy to you. I cannot let people who don’t understand the business open a pharmacy.”
Since he had put his pharmacy up for sale, many had come to look. Some wanted to buy it to open a different kind of shop—he hadn’t sold to them. Others wanted to run a pharmacy, but knew nothing about it—he could not sell to them, either. Having lived on this street for decades and treated the neighborhood’s illnesses all his life, even if he could no longer continue, he wanted to find a doctor who could help the local residents. After all, there were many acquaintances on this street. Should he transfer ownership to someone ignorant about running a pharmacy, wouldn’t he be harming everyone he knew? He would rather not sell than let these people hurt others.
“Doctor Bai has misunderstood; my shaking my head wasn’t to say that we have no physician at home, but rather because I myself am a doctor.”
As Qin Qin finished speaking, Doctor Bai’s face turned stern, “Preposterous, how can you claim such a thing at your young age?” Back in the day, it wasn’t until he was over thirty that he completed his apprenticeship in Chinese medicine, and only after years of practicing did his medical skills substantially improve. Now this little girl, most likely not even eighteen years old, dared to call herself a doctor—it was utterly ridiculous.
“Doctor Bai, Master Qin is a very formidable doctor. You can’t dismiss her abilities just because of her age, can you?” Tang Xin covered her slightly pronounced belly and stepped forward to speak. She wouldn’t tolerate anyone denigrating Master Qin. In her eyes, though Master Qin was young, she was exceptionally skilled. She believed that there was probably no one in the world who could outperform her. She heard her father say that there was a sect called Divine Doctor Sect in the world, where highly skilled physicians were trained and exclusively treated the wealthy. Initially, her father thought Master Qin came from Divine Doctor Sect, but it turned out that was not the case. Tang Xin thought that even the people from Divine Doctor Sect couldn’t hold a candle to Master Qin.
“And who might you be?” Doctor Bai asked coldly, looking at Jing Feng and Tang Xin.
Jing Feng, with a gentle and refined air, stepped forward and smilingly said to Doctor Bai, “My name is Jing Feng, I am a friend of Master Qin. The lady beside me is my wife, and she is one of Master Qin’s patients. Doctor Bai, this young lady before you may be young, but she possesses superb medical skills. Transferring your shop to her, I assure you, will be something you won’t regret.”
Hearing Jing Feng’s words, Doctor Bai looked at Qin Qin again but noted that throughout their conversation, Qin Qin maintained a faint smile, an expression of modest assurance. Doctor Bai couldn’t help but inwardly sigh—could this girl really be that remarkable?!
