Chapter 260 - 260 Ding Mao’s Master
260 Ding Mao’s Master
Seeing that Kong Rui and the old man were chatting, the waiter dismissed the other waiters and made them go back to work, but he kept an eye on the two of them from time to time.
Just a strange girl alone was enough to torment him. Now that there was a strange old man, wouldn’t he be tortured to death?!
The more the waiter thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. Although the other guests no longer seemed to care about the conflict just now, the old man sitting in the hall was a little unsightly.
The waiter’s eyes darted around and he suddenly had an idea.
!!
He walked to Kong Rui’s table and leaned towards her as he said in a low voice, “Miss, there are too many people in this teahouse. If you sit with this old man… it’s inevitable that the old man will be criticized.”
“Why don’t I prepare a private room for you so that you can talk to the old man in detail?”
After Kong Rui glanced at the waiter, she looked at the old man inquiringly.
The old man clearly didn’t care, so Kong Rui was prepared to agree.
Before she could speak, she heard an anxious shout from the entrance of the teahouse. “Master! Master, why didn’t you tell me you were here?!”
“I chased after you for a long time before I heard someone outside say that you were here!”
After the old man turned to look at the person at the door, he sighed and said to that person in disdain, “You’re so useless! Why did I take you in as my disciple back then?!”
Curious about who this old man’s disciple was, Kong Rui looked in the direction of the door.
After Kong Rui glanced at that person, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “Doctor Ding?”
“Pfft! What miracle doctor?!” The old man immediately waved his hand in disdain. He didn’t show any cordiality to his useless disciple.
Ding Mao had an anxious expression and when he saw that Kong Rui was sitting opposite the old man, his eyes widened in surprise.
“Why are you here?” Ding Mao pointed at Kong Rui in disbelief.
The old man smacked his silly disciple’s hand away and snorted. “Is that what I taught you? Where are your manners?”
Hearing the old man’s question, Kong Rui almost laughed.
Putting everything else aside, just based on the old man’s behavior, did he really teach Ding Mao any “manners”?
Ding Mao froze for a moment before bowing to the old man. “Greetings, Master.”
Then, Ding Mao turned around and bowed to Kong Rui. “Greetings, Little Master.”
Upon hearing Ding Mao calling her little master, Kong Rui frowned.
However, before Kong Rui could react, she heard surprised cries from the side.
Someone in the teahouse had already recognized Ding Mao!
Although in front of Kong Rui and the old man, Ding Mao was only an incompetent spiritual doctor, in the capital, Ding Mao was a divine doctor!
Ding Mao’s medical skills were superb. Even the spiritual doctors in the royal family respected him.
Ding Mao could always use strange methods to treat many difficult illnesses, so he was highly respected.
However, his temper wasn’t good. Many clans wanted to invite Ding Mao for a consultation, but if they didn’t appease him, they might not be able to invite him!
Seeing that the usually high and mighty Doctor Ding was so respectful to this old man in tattered clothes and a young lady who looked to be only in her teens, many people were amazed and puzzled.
From Doctor Ding’s words, this old man, who didn’t look eye-catching and even made people “keep a respectful distance” from him, was his master…
Then who was the other young lady?
Under everyone’s puzzled gazes, Kong Rui rejected Ding Mao with a look of disdain. “I told you not to call me Little Master! We’re not familiar with each other!”
Hearing Kong Rui’s words, not only was Ding Mao not angry, but he even said happily, “Little Master, you’re right! I’ll listen to you!”
