TRWSB – Chapter 17 Let’s Go on a Mission Together

“Why did your brother suddenly think of going on a mission?” Qi Shaorong asked.

“He wants to help my distant cousin,” Zhuang Qian replied.

Qi Shaorong, curious, asked, “Distant cousin? Which one?”

“I have a cousin named Zhuang Linyuan. He has a daughter, Zhuang Ling. Sister Ling is beautiful, but her health isn’t good. Since she was five or six, she’s been taking various spiritual medicines. If she runs out, she becomes uncomfortable and even faints from weakness,” Zhuang Qian explained.

Qi Shaorong frowned. “She’s been on spiritual medicine for over ten years?”

Zhuang Qian nodded. “Yes! At first, she only needed some ordinary medicine, but recently she needs more and more, and the quality requirements have also increased. For all these years, Cousin Zhuang Linyuan has been focused on finding medicine for Sister Ling and hasn’t improved his own strength much.”

Qi Shaorong furrowed his brows. “Has she seen a doctor?”

Zhuang Qian nodded again. “Yes, the doctors all said Sister Ling has a weak constitution and needs to be nourished properly, but even after all these years of nourishment, there’s been no improvement.”

Qi Shaorong: “…”

Zhuang Qian looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “Evil Doctor, could you find some time to take a look at Sister Ling? Those quacks can’t help her, but you might have a solution.”

Qi Shaorong smiled helplessly. “Zhuang Shao, you think too highly of me. I’m only good at cosmetic surgery, treating illnesses isn’t my specialty. Let’s talk about this later.”

After a brief conversation with Qi Shaorong and receiving his agreement, Zhuang Qian hurriedly took his leave.

Qi Heng looked at Qi Shaorong and asked, “Young Master, did you agree to Zhuang Qian?”

Qi Shaorong crossed his arms. “They say Zhuang Hao is a once-in-a-century genius. I want to see just how capable this guy really is.”

“Are you trying to investigate Zhuang Hao’s background?” Qi Heng asked.

“Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles,” Qi Shaorong replied.

Qi Heng narrowed his eyes. “If you know Zhuang Hao’s weaknesses, it’ll be much easier to deal with him in the future.”

Qi Shaorong smiled mysteriously. “Exactly, that’s what I’m thinking.”

As agreed, Qi Shaorong arrived at the designated meeting place, where Shen Yuan approached him. “Evil Doctor, I’m really happy to see you again.”

Qi Shaorong looked at Shen Yuan, puzzled. “You’re coming too?”

“Not just me, but also A Qian and Shaofu.”

“Evil Doctor, you’re here? I’m really glad you could come,” Zhuang Hao said with a smile.

Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao with some skepticism. “Young Master Hao, you’re quite famous. It’s rare to see you in action, so of course, I want to come and witness it. But bringing so many deadweights with you—are you sure that’s okay?”

Shen Yuan leaned closer to Qi Shaorong and said, “Evil Doctor, don’t worry. If A Hao can’t protect you, I’ll be here.”

Qi Shaorong sized up Shen Yuan and coldly smiled. “Don’t joke around. When I said deadweights, I included you.”

Shen Yuan: “…”

Qi Shaofu rubbed his nose and stepped forward to Qi Shaorong. “Evil Doctor, let’s get going. By the way, I don’t know why, but I feel particularly close to you. It’s as if we have a special bond.”

Qi Shaorong looked at Qi Shaofu. “Don’t joke. You haven’t even seen my true appearance, and even if you say that, I’m not going to give you a discount.”

Qi Shaofu: “…”

…

Zhuang Hao whistled, and a blue bird descended.

When the blue bird landed, it affectionately rubbed against Zhuang Hao.

The bird was so large that Zhuang Hao looked tiny next to it.

Qi Shaorong felt as though Zhuang Hao might be knocked over by the giant bird, but in reality, Zhuang Hao stood firm.

Zhuang Qian looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “Evil Doctor, did you know my brother is a beast master?”

Qi Shaorong nodded. “I’ve heard.”

“Do you know that beast masters make a lot of money?” Zhuang Qian asked.

Qi Shaorong chuckled dryly. “I’ve heard.”

“Although it’s not as much as what you earn, it’s still a lot,” Zhuang Qian explained.

Qi Shaorong nodded. “Right! Your brother is good-looking and can earn money—no wonder he’s so popular. So popular that beauties travel from afar to break off their engagements with him.”

Zhuang Qian: “…”

“Everyone, let’s get on! We’ll ride Little Qing to the Mang Cang Wilderness,” Zhuang Hao said.

Qi Shaorong inspected Zhuang Hao’s mount, narrowing his eyes. “Zhuang Shao, your mount looks impressive!”

Zhuang Hao smiled. “Thanks for the compliment, Evil Doctor! Is everyone on?”

“Evil Doctor, you should sit behind my brother. If it gets windy later, you can hide behind him. And if you can’t stand later, you can hold onto his waist,” Zhuang Qian kindly suggested.

Qi Shaorong: “…”
