Charlie spoke without a moment’s hesitation, “Xa, don’t cry just yet. Can you tell me where you are right now?”


    “I’m still in the hospital…” X said, her voice trembling. “Grandpa ns to pack everything up tonight.”


    “Got it!” Charlie replied quickly, “Just stay put in the hospital and I’ll be there soon!”


    As Charlie drove to Dr. Simmons’s Jishi Hall, he noticed that the que identifying the hall had been carelessly removed and discarded.


    At the entrance, a new que was wrapped in red silk and satin, making it impossible to read what it said for the moment.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Upon arriving at Jishitang, Charlie found Dr. Simmons, X, and a boy busy packing various medicinal materials from the medicine cab.<fn7edb> Readplete version only at find?novel</fn7edb>


    As soon as X spotted Charlie, she eximed with excitement, “Master Wade!”


    She rushed toward him, threw her arms around him, and began to cry.


    Concerned, Charlie asked, “Xa, what’s wrong? Please, tell me everything.”


    Noticing the worry on Charlie’s face, Dr. Simmons staggered over, looking ashamed. He sighed, “Master Wade… What brings you here? Did Xa tell you something?”


    X, tears streaming down her face, said, “Grandpa, I don’t want to leave Aurous Hill! I need Master Wade to persuade you…”


    Dr. Simmons sighed, “Oh! I, Dr. Simmons, must admit defeat. If I lost, how can I stay here in such a shameless manner…”


    X protested, “But losing only means losing the Serene Medical Clinic! If ites to that, we can just give it to him. We shouldn’t have to leave Aurous Hill for this!”


    Dr. Simmons countered, “My agreement with him was clear: if I lose, I must hand over the Serene Medical Clinic. If that’s gone, what’s the point of me staying in Aurous Hill?”


    X cried out, “But I don’t want to leave Aurous Hill… I haven’t learned the real Sanyang acupuncture from Master Wade yet, so I refuse to go…” On that day, when the Moore family patriarch was critically ill, Dr. Simmons had brought X along to treat him. Initially, X had been dissatisfied with Charlie, but upon witnessing Charlie’s genuine use of the “Three Yang Needle Technique,” she was instantly filled with admiration.


    While the Three Yang acupuncture technique is a legacy from the Shi family’s ancestors, what they learned was merely the surface. The authentic Three Yang technique is significantly more powerful than what was passed down.


    X understood that many advanced Chinese medical techniques have been closely guarded secrets over the years, and she never imagined that Charlie could teach her. Today, she was only using this as an excuse to stay in Aurous Hill.


    At that moment, Charlie asked in surprise, “Master Simmons, what did you wager that would result in you handing over the Serene Medical Clinic?”


    Dr. Simmons, looking embarrassed, confessed, “Master Wade… it’s true that I fell short against others. When you lose, you lose, and I’m too ashamed to bring it up…”


    X interjected, “It was an old man who came by a couple of days ago! He challenged Grandpa to a medical skillspetition, iming that if he won, Grandpa would have to take down the Serene Medical Clinic sign and let him run the medical center instead. I even gave Grandpa a medicine cauldron! I don’t know what he was thinking to agree…”


    Curiously, Charlie said, “Doctor, it sounds like the other party set a trap for you. You shouldn’t have fallen for such tactics!”


    Dr. Simmons’s face flushed as he struggled to respond, finallymenting, “Master Wade, I’m telling you the truth! I thought it could be beneficial since you often make medicines. If I won that medicine cauldron, it would certainly lighten your load in the future. But I never expected that old man would sabotage the challenge. It’s truly embarrassing!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
