TRWSB – Chapter 83 Reactions From Different People

Instructor’s Office at Tianlan Academy.

Sun Lin rested her chin on her hand, looking at Zhuang Ling. “Instructor Zhuang Ling, Qi Shaorong is the Evil Doctor, right?”

Zhuang Ling gave her a strange look and asked, “How do you know that?”

Sun Lin smiled and replied, “It’s easy to figure out! Although it was a secret that Zhuang Hao sent the unicorn to the Evil Doctor, a lot of people knew about it. I heard that many of the Light Priests in the Imperial Capital are envious of the Evil Doctor. Now the unicorn has become Qi Shaorong’s contracted beast. Furthermore, I also heard that Qi Shaorong and the Evil Doctor are good friends. When the Evil Doctor went missing, only Qi Shaorong could find him.”

“Yes!” Zhuang Ling smiled and nodded.

Sun Lin continued, “I heard from my girl that when she was playing here before, she met an older brother, and that older brother must have been Qi Shaorong. Instructor Zhuang Ling, did you already know?”

At that time, she had been curious about why Zhuang Ling had called Qi Shaorong in. Now it made sense… Why would the Evil Doctor prescribe medicine without even seeing the daughter’s face? It wasn’t arrogance—it was because he had already seen her.

Zhuang Ling shook his head and said, “Actually, I only had some suspicions.”

“Instructor Zhuang Ling, I heard a rumor, but I don’t know if it’s true.” Sun Lin said, clearly interested.

“I didn’t expect you to be so gossip-prone, Instructor Sun Lin!” Zhuang Ling commented.

Sun Lin smiled and replied, “When you’re in the academy, you can’t help but get involved! Who can resist the gossip around here?”

Zhuang Ling: “…”

Zhuang Ling glanced around the office. Although the other instructors pretended to be busy with their paperwork, they were all secretly listening in.

“I heard Zhuang Hao likes the Evil Doctor? He even gave the unicorn to the Evil Doctor to win his favor.”

The unicorn was an extremely rare magical beast, a creature with the potential to advance to the Saint-level. It was also said to symbolize love. Legendary figures from tens of thousands of years ago would capture unicorns and gift them to their beloved ones. Even in the ancient era, receiving a unicorn as a betrothal gift was a highly respectable act.

Zhuang Ling nodded. “Yes.”

“The Evil Doctor is Qi Shaorong! Your cousin and Qi Shaorong had a marriage contract, but it seems he broke it off.” Sun Lin’s eyes widened, and a passionate glow radiated from them.

Zhuang Ling nodded. “Yes. Zhuang Hao really can’t seem to figure things out.”

“Qi Shaorong is proud and aloof, and it seems difficult for Zhuang Hao to win him back!” Sun Lin was smiling widely, clearly enjoying the drama unfolding.

Zhuang Ling shot Sun Lin a look. “Instructor Sun Lin, are you happy about this?”

“Your cousin is too perfect. Watching him face a setback makes it all the more entertaining!” Sun Lin replied.

Zhuang Ling: “…”

Qi Family.

Qi Shaokang was watching a battle video of Qi Shaorong, frowning. “I’m no match for him.”

He closed his eyes. Although he had lost to Qi Shaorong in the secret realm, Qi Shaokang was still somewhat unwilling to accept it. Since coming out of the secret realm, he had often thought about seeking out Qi Shaorong to get back at him. However, for various reasons, he hadn’t done so.

Qi Shaokang secretly felt fortunate that he hadn’t sought out Qi Shaorong. With Qi Shaorong’s petty personality, he wouldn’t have cared that Qi Shaokang was his brother. If he had gone to confront him, it would have only been humiliating.

Qi Shaofu scratched his head, his mood complex. Originally, he had been surprised by Qi Shaorong’s strength in the secret realm, but now, he was feeling a bit scared.

As a level-six mage, even with external help, facing an eighth-level mage was no easy feat.

“I heard that the Evil Doctor is actually our fourth brother.” Qi Shaofu said.

“That’s probably true. Many people sent spies to track the Evil Doctor, but he always managed to disappear without a trace. Now it seems that the Evil Doctor didn’t disappear; he just became our fourth brother.” Qi Shaokang responded.

Qi Shaofu scratched his head. “Fourth brother always says that he and the Evil Doctor have a very close relationship… that they even slept in the same bed…”

Qi Shaokang: “…”

Qi Shaofu scratched his head again. It seemed the Evil Doctor had become their fourth brother. Fortunately, he hadn’t had a close relationship with the Evil Doctor and never spoke badly of fourth brother in front of him. But Zhuang Qian, that fool, always complained to the Evil Doctor about how fierce fourth brother was.

Imperial Palace.

Tang Tianying looked at Zhuang Hao with a bit of joy and said, “Ah Hao, you finally came! I need your help again. It’s just that the eighth-grade flower leopard is really irritable and has already injured several people. The royal family’s chief beast tamer has gone on a journey, and the royal family has no one else to use.”

Zhuang Hao nodded lightly and said, “It’s just a small task.”

Tang Tianying put his hands behind his back and faintly felt that Zhuang Hao’s gaze carried a hint of scrutiny, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Zhuang Qian was hiding behind Zhuang Hao, peeking at Tang Tianying.

Tang Tianying looked at Zhuang Qian and asked, “Ah Qian, what’s wrong?”

Zhuang Qian shook his head and said, “Nothing, nothing.”

Previously, he had thought that Tang Tianying’s affection for Qi Shaorong was a good thing. As long as Tang Tianying could handle Qi Shaorong, then his elder brother and the Evil Doctor would succeed. But when Tang Tianying was ruthlessly rejected by Qi Shaorong, Zhuang Qian had secretly thought that Tang Tianying was useless. Now, it seemed fortunate that Tang Tianying hadn’t succeeded. If he had, what would be left for his elder brother?

“Fourth Prince, I heard you confessed to Qi Shaorong?” Zhuang Qian asked.

Tang Tianying nodded, smiled wryly, and said, “Yes, Qi Shaorong said he has deep feelings for the Evil Doctor, as deep as the ocean, unchanging, and refused to accept me.”

When he was rejected by Qi Shaorong, Tang Tianying had thought that the Evil Doctor’s charm was really immense, as it not only captivated Zhuang Hao but also made Qi Shaorong fall for him. But now, it seemed that it was just an excuse from Qi Shaorong. He, as a prince, had been so perfunctorily rejected, and it was really a bit humiliating to think about it.

“Fourth Prince, don’t be sad…” Zhuang Qian said.

Tang Tianying smiled and said, “I’m not sad.” He did have some affection for Qi Shaorong, but it wasn’t to the point of being irretrievable. Qi Shaorong had a marriage contract with Zhuang Hao, and now the two had unexpectedly formed a contractual relationship. Although he was a prince, Tang Tianying didn’t want to offend Zhuang Hao, the heir of the Zhuang family.

Zhuang Qian looked at Zhuang Hao, who remained silent, and muttered, “The Evil Doctor is really something, he’s only a little big but still fooled me into calling him ‘senior’.”

Zhuang Qian rubbed his nose. Qi Shaorong was younger than his elder brother by an hour, yet he always complained that his elder brother was young, immature, and narrow-minded.

Zhuang Hao, who had been silent all this time, looked up, glanced at Tang Tianying, and coldly said, “Qi Shaorong has high standards. As the saying goes, ‘There are plenty of fish in the sea.’ Fourth Prince, it’s best if you don’t waste time on Qi Shaorong.”

Tang Tianying: “…” This guy, why didn’t he say this to himself? “Yes, I also think Qi Shaorong is too difficult to pursue, so I plan to take the Evil Doctor’s advice and withdraw.”

Zhuang Hao nodded and said, “The Evil Doctor is right.”

Tang Tianying: “…” How did I not realize before that Zhuang Hao is the scum of this group? He deserves to be tormented by Qi Shaorong.

Tianlan Academy.

After Shaorong fought Qi Yuan, Principal Hu Feng detained Qi Shaorong in the academy, and his dormitory was moved next to Principal Hu Feng’s villa.

“Qi, student.” Vice-principal Li Hong entered with a tutor.

Qi Shaorong noticed that the tutor beside Li Hong had an exceptionally beautiful left side of her face, but her right cheek had a birthmark that ruined the overall beauty.

“Qi, student, I heard that you’re quite familiar with the Evil Doctor,” Li Hong said, rubbing his hands.

Qi Shaorong nodded and adjusted his hair, “Yes, we’re very familiar. We have a relationship where we lie in the same bed.”

“Then the things the Evil Doctor can do, you should also know how to do, right?” Li Hong asked.

“Do you want to remove a birthmark? That’s simple,” Qi Shaorong said.

Li Hong looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “Qi, student, the tutors at the academy are all quite poor. Could you offer a discount?”

Qi Shaorong nodded, “Of course, after all, I’m a student of the academy.”

Qi Shaorong had been tired of staying at the academy recently. Seeing business coming in, he rented a dormitory at Tianlan Academy and opened a cosmetic surgery clinic to take on cosmetic surgery business.

Qi Shaorong had originally worried that the academy’s students were too poor to afford treatment, but he was surprised to find that although most of the students were commoners, many were wealthy commoners. After some successful cases, Qi Shaorong’s cosmetic surgery clinic quickly became popular, with visitors coming nonstop.

Qi Shaorong was in the operating room, giving a female student double eyelid surgery.

Yi Fan walked to the door, knocked, and leaned against the door, “Zhuang family’s Third Master is here.”

“Zhuang Renquan? What does he want?” Qi Shaorong lazily asked.

“It seems he wants to meet you.”

Qi Shaorong frowned and said, “Meet me? What’s he want to meet me for? Hasn’t he seen Brother Kun?”

Yi Fan: “…”

“To be honest, young master, you look a bit worse than Zhuang Hao,” Yi Fan said.

Qi Shaorong glared at Yi Fan and said, “That’s slander, I won’t admit it. It seems the Third Master of the Zhuang family isn’t a student of our academy! And his age is already past the student age. Didn’t the principal kick him out?”

The female student on the operating table trembled, and Qi Shaorong frowned, “Miss, stop moving! If you move, I’ll leave a scar on your face, what will you do?”

The girl immediately stopped moving and lay still on the operating table.

Qi Shaorong glanced at Yi Fan and said, “But that’s the Third Master of the Zhuang family! How could he be kicked out?”

“What’s so special about the Zhuang family? Didn’t the elders of the Qi family kick me out? We should treat members of the Four Great Families equally,” Qi Shaorong said with a deliberate tone.

Yi Fan smiled and said, “It’s not the same.”

“What’s not the same? Hey, Miss, don’t keep blinking your eyes! If you keep blinking, how am I supposed to work?” Qi Shaorong said.

Yi Fan looked at Qi Shaorong helplessly, “The principal hopes you can go meet him.”

“Why? This Third Master of the Zhuang family must have a good reason to come! I have to give him some face,” Qi Shaorong muttered. The principal wouldn’t give face to the Qi family, but he was willing to give face to this Third Master.

“The Zhuang family just donated 10 million to the academy,” Yi Fan said.

Qi Shaorong paused in his work and asked, “Really?”

Yi Fan nodded and said, “Yes.”

“Wow, that’s a big investment!” Qi Shaorong couldn’t help but say.

Yi Fan: “…”

“All done,” Qi Shaorong said as he finished his work.

The female student on the operating table quickly flipped over, cast a water mirror image, and saw her face in the mirror. She happily smiled, thanked him, and left excitedly.

Qi Shaorong curled his lips and thought to himself: Although the medical equipment in this world is a bit lacking, the advantage is that people’s physical constitution is much better! On Earth, after getting double eyelid surgery, the eyes would be swollen for a few days, but in this world, the recovery is much faster.

Yi Fan looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “Young master, your business is doing quite well!”

Qi Shaorong nodded and said, “The imperial capital is a place full of power and nobility.” Compared to other academies, Tianlan Academy is a bit poor, but not all the students here are poor!

“Young master, would you like to go meet the Third Master of the Zhuang family?” Yi Fan asked.

Qi Shaorong nodded, “Of course, if he went through the trouble to come here, I should at least give him some face.”

Yi Fan: “…”
