Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 470 - 469 Dongxu, it seems you have to step up your game
"How could that be? We're open for business, customers are God! I'm just asking you how to handle it." Wang Qiang replied with a wry smile, feeling a chill in his heart, this person was indeed not someone to offend.
"That's good. Just keep a close eye on things and make sure no problems arise. As for paying a visit with a gift of wine or something, forget about it. You're not unaware of our identity, and we shouldn't expose ourselves unless it's a special situation. And his identity is even more special, don't try to be smart. If you really do that, just wait for our boss to come after you to settle the score," Ma Xiaoshuai said, clearly relieved, then paused and added.
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Wang Qiang asked with a tight smile.
"Hmph, you're welcome to give it a try and see what happens," said Ma Xiaoshuai.
"Heh, if Ma Leader speaks like this, how would I dare? But who exactly is this guy? Is he also one of our Qimen? Could you reveal just a little about him?" Wang Qiang joked, then asked curiously.
"Haven't you heard that curiosity killed the cat? Just save it. At most, offending our boss might get you scolded because we are all fellow practitioners. But if you dare offend him, then you just wait for our boss to personally take care of you," Ma Xiaoshuai replied.
"Look Ma Xiaoshuai, I'm not stupid, I know who should be offended and who shouldn't. But can't you reveal just a little bit? At the very least, you can tell me his name, right? In case something happens later, I would at least know his name," Wang Qiang said.
"Ge Dongxu. You'd better keep a close watch yourself and not stir up any trouble," Ma Xiaoshuai said after a moment of thought.
The fact of Ge Dongxu's name and his apparent university student identity was no secret and there was no need for secrecy.
As for Ge Dongxu's real identity behind the scenes, Ma Xiaoshuai dared not say more without permission from above, and in fact, he only knew part of it.
"I understand, I'm heading to Charm Ginza right now," Wang Qiang replied.
"That's good. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up," Ma Xiaoshuai said.
"Sure, when you're free come to our Charm Ginza, I'll introduce you to some beautiful princesses," Wang Qiang said.
"Just don't mess with me with inferior goods again, and definitely don't get me a university student like last time, damn, that nearly screwed me over completely," Ma Xiaoshuai said.
"That was just one mistake. But you know, Ma Xiaoshuai, you're not so young anymore. If your cultivation really continues to hit a bottleneck, I think that'll be about it for your life anyway. Might as well settle down and have kids like I did, instead of mulling over the idea of 'passing through a crowd of flowers, a leaf doesn't touch the body.' Like that university student from last time, if you really like her, then I think it's better to marry her. Times have changed. Unless you're a truly exceptional magician who can command respect and fear just by skill alone, and even the state has to try to appease you, the rest comes down to power and money. Just like me, I might be a magician, but what really allows me to live a decent life is my money!" Wang Qiang said.
Hearing this, Ma Xiaoshuai was silent for a while, then suddenly burst out, "Damn it, are you doing this on purpose, knowing full well I have girls around me, yet you bring up such mood-killing talk."
"Haha!" Wang Qiang laughed loudly and hung up the phone, but his face revealed an undeniable sense of loss.
As a Qimen Sorcerer, there was naturally a pride in him that common folks did not possess. But now that daoist practices have declined, even as a magician, he's fallen back to the mundane world, hardly different from an ordinary businessman.

He also had to hustle, had to ingratiate himself, had to flatter...
And those people, who in the past would have been nothing more than commoners in the eyes of a Qimen Sorcerer like himself!
And now, these Qimen Sorcerers were scarcely different from ordinary people.
No one could summon the wind and rain, no one had the power to move mountains and overturn seas, and no one could perform Sword Flight to decapitate someone thousands of miles away...
When he said those words just now, it seemed like he was persuading Ma Xiaoshuai, but wasn't Wang Qiang also persuading himself to accept reality?
...
When Ge Dongxu accompanied Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran to push open the private room door, there were already five people inside, three women and two men, with two of the women currently singing "Promise '98" into the microphones.
"Xiaojie, Yanran, you're here." A tall and fashionable young woman, who could only be considered above average in looks but appeared quite capable, stood up and greeted them with a smile.
"Happy birthday, Yumo sister," Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran said with a smile as they took out a beautifully wrapped gift from their bags and handed it over.
"You're still students, just being here is enough, why bring gifts?" Xu Yumo chided as she accepted the gift.
"Hehe, it's just a trinket, we couldn't afford anything expensive," Xu Yanran said.
"Thank you," Xu Yumo said with a smile as she put away the gift, then looked at Ge Dongxu with a hint of confusion on her face and asked, "And who might this be?"
"Oh, he's Ge Dongxu, also from Jiangnan University, Yanran's fellow townsman from Ouzhou, and my friend," Lin Xiaojie said as she pulled Dongxu over and introduced him, "Dongxu, this is Xu Yumo, a prominent figure from our previous college of economics, Yumo sister."
"Happy birthday, Yumo sister. I'm sorry, I only found out about your birthday last minute, and I came in a hurry without a gift," Ge Dongxu said with an apologetic smile, extending his hand.
Seeing that Ge Dongxu, although still a university student, already carried himself with the composure of a successful person, Xu Yumo's eyes lit up slightly, and she smiled as she shook his hand, "You're too polite, Dongxu. We're just friends and classmates getting together for some fun, there's no need for formalities, and after all, isn't Xiaojie bringing a gift just the same?"
"Yumo sister, you can't just say things like that, we haven't got anything settled yet!" Lin Xiaojie, naturally not a timid and shy girl as the deputy chair of the student council of the economics college, purposely glared at Ge Dongxu, teasing.
"Giggle, it seems that you, Dongxu, need to make more of an effort," Xu Yumo said with a smirk.
Ge Dongxu just smiled.
If it weren't for seeing that Xu Yanran had an omen of bloodshed and that, as a goody-two-shoes, he wanted to help her break the curse, he wouldn't have been willing to be this shield. However, now that he had arrived, he felt he had to go with the flow and didn't want to undermine Lin Xiaojie.
"I'm saying, Dongxu right? Your face looks quite new, I don't think I've seen you in the economics college before," a male with a neatly parted hairstyle, looking rather traitorous with slight buck teeth, walked up boastfully tugging at his shirt sleeve to reveal a Longines watch plated over by the cuff, his gaze unfriendly and provocative towards Ge Dongxu.
"Oh, I'm from the College of Environmental and Resource Sciences," Ge Dongxu responded with a smile, already understanding this awkwardly-looking yet dapperly dressed man must be the one Lin Xiaojie mentioned who had been pestering her to no end.
