At All Costs

When Doctor Sun's words fell, the Tang elder collected the prescription and placed his hands behind his back. His gaze was watery as he calmly looked at Doctor Sun.

"Sun! How many years have you studied with me?"

Doctor Sun paused for a moment, feeling confused.

Why did the Tang elder ask this suddenly?

He replied anyway:

"Responding to Elder Tang. I've been studying at the Tang Medical Hall for eleven years!"

"Eleven years!"

The Tang elder stroked his beard lightly.

"Eleven years, being a senior physician, you… you can take care of yourself, right? Go pack up your stuff, and go get your salary from the finance department."

"What?"

At this moment, it wasn't just Sun who was shocked, but Tang Nianyao, too.

The Tang elder actually drove away Doctor Sun, who had been an employee for eleven years, for disrespecting Xiao Chen?

Doctor Sun gritted his teeth, unwilling.

"Elder Tang, I've been in the Tang clinic practicing business wholeheartedly. Even if sometimes I make minor mistakes, it's not serious enough for you to fire me, right?"

The Tang Medical Center was the top-notch medicine hall in the Yan Kingdom. Anyone leaving here would be like taking a downgrade!

And the Tang elder was an influential figure in the Yan Kingdom's traditional Chinese medicine realm. He had depended on this to upgrade into a top-quality doctor. When that time comes, he could leave the Tang clinic like a dragon entering the sea, a tiger entering the forest.

The Tang elder took a deep breath, a hint of reluctance in his expression.

"You didn't make any big mistakes! But remember the first thing I taught you the day you came in? It was not to look at people from above! Did you even take this sentence to heart?"

Doctor Sun immediately spoke.

"Your disciple remembers it clearly!"

"Preposterous!"

Elder Tang's face went gloomy as his voice rang sharp.

"When faced with a priceless prescription, you dare throw it away like garbage, even offending the opposite party. I really want to beat you to death!"

Doctor Sun went pale and began to tremble.

He stared at the prescription in the Tang elder's hands with large eyes, his face incredulous.

"This… This really is a priceless prescription?"

"What? You think I'd lie to you?"

"No… No of course not!"

Doctor Sun hurriedly waved his hands. Looking at the Tang elder's earnest expression, he took a deep breath and bowed.

"Elder Tang, my sincerest apologies! In the future, I will remember your mercy!"

Immediately, he left the building with a disappointed expression.

Tang Nianyao was still in disbelief.

At the beginning, she thought that her grandfather had fired Doctor Sun because he was afraid of Xiao Chen's strength! But her grandpa actually said it was because of the prescription. God, is her grandfather crazy?

She had never seen anything like this since being born!

Even her grandfather himself didn't dare claim his prescription was even worth ten million!

The only 'priceless' artifact in their family was probably the Hua Tuo medical collection.

Curious, Tang Nianyao pried the prescription from her grandfather's hands and looked it over. She scrunched her brows.

"Grandpa! Isn't this just a regular prescription? What's so special about it? How come I can't tell?"

The Tang elder shook his head and spoke to her in a serious tone:

"Nianyao, you must remember. The chinese medicine world has three realms. Beginners, who are as simple as hair. There are those with a deep understanding, who are complicated and cumbersome. But the masters are actually the simpletons! Look at this prescription. It's not much different from a normal prescription, but that's because you haven't reached the level to understand this prescription yet!"

"Ah. Grandpa! You're not joking with me, are you? That guy's already this talented, if his medicinal skills are godlike, how will other people live?"

Elder Tang smiled mysteriously.

"I don't know if he cares that other people need to live. I only know he could be your only chance!"

"Chance?"

Tang Nianyao was even more confused as she turned her head and looked at her grandfather.

The Tang elder once again spoke:

"Do you want to become one of those people who are martial arts masters that can topple mountains and overturn seas, producing the clouds on one hand and the rain on the other? If you can make friends with him and make him your teacher, you will have a chance in this life!"

Tang Nianyao's eyes lit up.

"True! Why didn't I think of that?"

The Tang elder couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Why don't you hurry, then! Tell him that our Tang household is willing to give him the prescription he wants as long as he is willing to interact with you. No matter how much the cost, grandpa won't hold back!"

"Alrighty!"

Immediately, Tang Nianyao flew out after him.

At the door, a beautiful figure walked in, almost running into Tang Nianyao in her haste. She couldn't help but let out a yelp.

The Tang elder heard the voice and smiled.

"Ruoxue, you're here!"

Su Ruoxue scrunched her brows and looked towards Tang Nianyao, who was sprinting out the halls. She couldn't help but loosen her expression and smile.

"Grandpa Tang, what's wrong with Nianyao? Why is she running so fast?"

"Nothing much, just some private business! Going back to our topic, what did you want to talk to me about?"

Su Ruoxue smiled gently.

"I haven't seen Grandpa Tang in a while, so I wanted to say hi!"

Elder Tang rolled his eyes.

"Stop teasing this old man! Nianyao, that mischievous brat, is my granddaughter and all she thinks about is running around outside. There's no way you would think of this vile, old man! Speak, what do you want? You don't have to hold back with me."

Su Ruoxue straightened out her expression.

"Okay! Since Granda Tang is being straightforward, then I'll say it! My company's run into a big issue, and I am in urgent need of a powerful product! The new product needs to bring this dead company back to life, so I can regain control of my company."

Grandfather Tang crinkled his brows.

"This is a tough request."

Su Ruoxue hurriedly continued:

"I know it's rough! But aside from Grandpa Tang, I have no other option! And don't worry, I will definitely repay you. I won't let you go unrewarded!"

Grandpa Tang waved his hands.

"You misunderstood me. This little money won't affect me at all, based on my relationship with your grandfather. But the prescription you want is a bit difficult. I'm not a god, nor am I omnipotent! I don't own a formula for a product that could bring a company back to life!"

Su Ruoxue was shocked, too. Although her heart had prepared her for this event, she still couldn't accept it coming from Grandpa Tang's mouth himself.

"Grandpa Tang, is there really no other way?"

Su Ruoxue smiled bitterly, but she was still unreconciled.

The Tang elder wanted to refute her again, but his eyes lit up when he saw the prescription in his hands.

"Hey! I suddenly thought of someone. Maybe he has a way!"

Su Ruoxue's eyes lit up as well.

"Who?"
