Chapter 289: What a Shame (II)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
âReally?â Long was confused. âHe must be affected by something. Thatâs the only explanation.â
Liu frowned and shook his head. âBrother Ouyang should have his own plans. Moreover, this is a good thing.â
âWell⦠you mean, itâs a good thing that he studies medicine with you?â
âThatâs true. Studying more things is always beneficial,â Liu said, âIf you want to study medicine, I can also teach you. Of course, you have to pay.â
Long opened his mouth wide in astonishment. âWhat did you say?â
Liu sneered. âDonât be so surprised. You heard it right. You have to pay!â
Longâs lips twitched slightly. âI really didnât find it earlier that you value money so much!â
As a well-known doctor, Liu shouldnât be short of money, right?
âDidnât you find it earlier? It doesnât matter. You just need to prepare the money!â
Long became speechless.
s.h.i.+ said calmly, âThatâs what we should do.â
Long suddenly turned to look at s.h.i.+. âQingzhouâ¦â
s.h.i.+ also looked at him. âWhatâs wrong? Do you think thatâs not right?â
âUhâ¦â Long touched his chin. âYes, of course I should⦠But I donât think I need to study medicine.â
s.h.i.+ smiled faintly. âIf you donât, I will.â
âWhat?â Long felt even more surprised. âQingzhou, what did you say? You want to study medicine?â
âYes,â s.h.i.+ answered calmly, âIt wonât do me any harm.â
Liu smiled. âThatâs right. It wonât cause you any harm.â
Long looked at s.h.i.+ and Liu. Then⦠he shrugged.
âAll right, you guys go to study and Iâll just enjoy my life. I wonât study that.â
Liu sneered. âI never hoped that a man like you could learn something!â
When Long heard that, his eyes widened in anger. âWhat do you mean by saying that? Whatâs wrong with me? Let me tell you, sometimes I just donât want to study, but it doesnât mean Iâm stupid, okay? If I really want to learn something, I can master it very quickly. Do you know that?â
Liu curled his lips perfunctorily. âAll right, all right, you will master it quickly.â
Long got furious.
s.h.i.+ just focused on eating, not getting involved in their argument.
Long gave Liu a stare and decided to ignore him. Then, he began to eat.
Liu hadnât had breakfast yet, so he said to Liu Xiangyang who was standing not far away, âBring a set of cutlery.â
Liu Xiangyang hurriedly did his biddingâ¦
After breakfast, Long continued to deal with the memorials, while s.h.i.+ went outside to practice swordplay.
Long didnât go to watch it this time.
In fact, he had a lot of things to attend to.
After finis.h.i.+ng all the memorials, he still needed to meet two officials from the Ministry of War.
s.h.i.+ practiced swordplay in the courtyard. After a long time, he finished and put his sword back.
At noon, Long had lunch and then summoned the two officials.
s.h.i.+ didnât have lunch with Long. He ate it first and then went to Liuâs place⦠to learn medicine from him.
Liu taught very carefully, while Ouyang and s.h.i.+ studied in earnest.
These two men were talented and intelligent, so they naturally learned very fast.
After Long met the two officials from the Ministry of War, he still didnât see his empress in Qiankun Palace, so he went to Liuâs place. What he saw was s.h.i.+ was carefully identifying the medicinal herbs with them.
He couldnât help but walk softly, fearing to disturb them.
Even if heâd been very gentle, those people still found him.
Liu directly turned to look at him. âWhy did you come?â
Long blinked and said while walking, âWhatâs wrong? Canât I come?â
âNo, I donât mean that. I just think that you donât understand it anyways. Itâs just a waste of time for you to come here. You donât need to.â Liu smiled.
Longâs face darkened. âIâm not wasting time!â
Liu shrugged. âIt doesnât matter if you donât want to admit it. Well⦠do you want to give it a try?â
âIâll just try it! Youâll see how talented I am!â
Liu curled his lips. âAll right, come on.â
Long strode over. âYou can begin.â
Liu pointed to several kinds of medicinal herbs in front of him. âJust a few of them. I will tell you their names. Look carefully.â
âOkay, just say it.â Long waved his hand.
Liu introduced the medicinal materials unhurriedly, and then⦠he put them in a different order.
After that, he randomly took out one of them. âNow tell me. What is this?â
Long was totally confused.
s.h.i.+ and Ouyang looked at Long with great interest.
s.h.i.+ was no exception!
Long coughed, and then⦠carefully observed the medicinal herb.
After a while, Long said, âItâs Origin Gra.s.s.â
Liu burst into laughter, making Long embarra.s.sed.
Then, Long looked at s.h.i.+ and asked for help. âQingzhou, am I wrong?â
s.h.i.+ nodded pityingly. âYes, you are wrong.â
Long became speechless.
Liu said, âWill you try again? You can observe these herbs first, and then Iâll tell you their names again.â
That was really humiliating!
Long was very unhappy, so he said, âOkay, just you wait!â
The other three didnât say anything.
Long carefully observed the herbs, and then Liu really told him their names again.
Later, Liu asked. âAre you ready?â
With a gloomy face, Long said, âIâm ready. You can ask now.â
Liu nodded. âOkay. What kind of herb is this?â
Long said without thinking, âGolden Leaf Gra.s.s.â
The three of them became speechless.
Long frowned. âWhat now? Am I wrong again?â
s.h.i.+ coughed. âThis one is Golden Leaf Gra.s.s.â
s.h.i.+ picked up another kind of herb in front of Long.
Long became upset. âYou⦠you are not lying?â
s.h.i.+ found Long was being unreasonable. âWhy would we lie to you?â
âWho knows? Maybe you did it on purpose! You guys united in lying to me!â
Liu laughed loudly. âCome on, you didnât know anything, but still kept pretending. When we said you were wrong, you thought we lied to you. Long Xiaoyuan, youâre so shameless!â
âLiu Suifeng!â Long roared angrily.
Then, he pounced on Liu.
Liu was startled. Then, he began to wrestle with Long.
Long had a little internal strength. Although Liu didnât have much strength, he had rich experience. However, Liu didnât have the heart to fight against him fiercely.
So, when the two men fought⦠they were neck to neck!
However, s.h.i.+ felt⦠it was embarra.s.sing.
So he didnât wait for the result and just left.
Looking at the two men who were fighting childishly⦠Ouyang also left.
âYou b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you must have lied to me!â
âYou are the b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Rascal!â
âHow dare you say that Iâm a rascal? Iâm the emperor! Iâll eliminate all your clan!â
âI was just telling the truth! I didnât say anything wrong! Dare you eliminate all my clan!â
âOf course I dare! Iâll kill you first!â
âLong Xiaoyuan, you asked for it! Donât you think I dare not fight you!â
âAll right, just fight me if you dare! You think Iâm afraid of you?!â
âOkay, donât regret it!â
âOnly losers will regret it!â
âGood! Remember what you said!â
âYes! I said it!â
âGood⦠Watch out!â
âCome onâ¦â¦â
These two men were so naïve and began to fight again. The scene was⦠so terrible that one could hardly bear the sight of it!
