The successful operation greatly encouraged the second shopkeeper, and he decided to discuss taking on a new patient with Gu Jiao.

Of course, as the matter was of great importance, he could leave out some irrelevant information for now, such as, if the treatment fails, there will be beheadings...

However, before he could mention who the prospective patient was, Gu Jiao flatly refused.

"Why?" The second shopkeeper was shocked.

Gu Jiao stated without hesitation, "It's too far away, I don't do out-patient service. Tell him that if he needs treatment, he should come to Huichun Hall by himself."

"I..." The second shopkeeper was dumbfounded. The patient was someone who could even invite an Imperial doctor to his residence, how could he possibly stoop to visit a small town's medical hall?

The second shopkeeper laughed awkwardly, "It's not far, not far at all. It's just in a hot spring villa nearby Qingquan Town."

Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow, "Isn't it far if it's outside of the town?"
