Chapter 8: Paying homage to the Scholar God! (Please Favorite)_1

Ruan Qi's peach blossom eyes blinked as she let out a light laugh.

"How did Senior Brother respond to him?"

"Of course I had to put on some airs, my dear sister isn't someone who takes on just any case." Xu Xiangyang doted on her, scraping her little nose, "I told Director Wang that your consultation fee is very high. Not only did he have no objections, but he was also very willing. Now it's up to you to decide if you want to accept this case."

Ruan Qi: "What does Senior Brother think?"

"I suggest you take on this case," Xu Xiangyang said, "You've just arrived in the Imperial Capital and need an opportunity to build your reputation.

Director Wang is quite well-regarded in the Imperial Capital. While he can't compare to the Qin family or the Bai family, he is from a media background and can spread news quickly.

However, if you're not willing, there's no need to force yourself. With your Senior Brother here, I'll definitely help you make a name for yourself in the Imperial Capital."

Ruan Qi lowered her head, her fingers twirling a ribbon around her wrist.

"I'll take on this case."

She looked at Xu Xiangyang, her beautiful, clear peach blossom eyes now containing a few strands of determination.

"I want to make a name for myself in China with my own abilities. The things my parents lost years ago, I will personally take back."

——*——

After sending off Xu Xiangyang, Ruan Qi called her family to report her safety, then changed into a different outfit and entered the study.

On the desk in the study room, there were stacks of draft paper and several hand-bound books.

Next to the hand-bound books, there was a selfie stick. Resting on the selfie stick was a phone, its camera pointing directly at the draft paper on the table.

Ruan Qi walked over, lit up the phone, and opened an app called 'Invisible Hand.'

Invisible Hand was the most popular live streaming app in China over the past couple of years. Many ordinary people became popular streamers earning millions annually through this app.

Ruan Qi entered the streamer's back end and opened her own live streaming room.

Immediately, hundreds of viewers poured in.

[Holy shit? Is the master online?]

[Deity, you finally came! I've been waiting so painfully!]

[Daily prayer to the Deity. May the Deity bless me to pass the English Level 6 test smoothly.]

Ruan Qi adjusted the angle of the camera to ensure it wouldn't capture her face, then sat down at the desk.

"Sorry, I had a little accident and came late."

Her voice, altered by a voice changer, rang out in the live stream.

The fans said it was no big deal.

After only a few words, the number of people in the streaming room had risen from a few hundred to over three thousand, and it was still growing.

The barrage of messages in the live streaming room also increased.

[Deity, can you talk about high school physics? This lowly high school senior is about to be scolded to tears by the teachers.]

[+1, please talk about high school physics, save a high school senior dog!]

Ruan Qi couldn't help laughing when she saw these comments.

"I can talk about high school physics, but I didn't go to high school, so I need to study the textbooks first."

The barrage in the live streaming room instantly flew past.

[The Deity didn't go to high school?!!]

[What kind of joke is this? Someone who has understood string theory didn't go to high school?!]

[Maybe what the Deity means is that she didn't attend high school in our country?]

[Lol, bragging much? Why don't you say she went to high school on Mars?]

[What kind of filthy thing has snuck in upstairs? Get lost!]

Ruan Qi didn't care about those comments about herself.

She waved her hand, "Alright, let's start the lesson. Everyone be quiet."

——*——

Three hours passed quickly, and by the time Ruan Qi left the streaming room, it was already completely dark outside.

She touched her stomach and decided to go out to find something to eat.

Ruan Qi changed into a loose T-shirt, took her phone, and stepped out in flip-flops.

As she passed by the river, she suddenly heard a 'plop—splash', and a huge splash erupted on the river surface.

Someone had fallen into the water!

Ruan Qi looked around and ran towards the source of the splashing sound.

By this time it was already past nine o'clock at night, and there was no one nearby.

The person in the water splashed a few times, didn't even cry out, and then sank below.

Ruan Qi saw the increasingly calm water surface, thoughtlessly tossed aside her flip-flops, and jumped in with a 'plop.'

The person seemed either too scared to react or had fainted; when Ruan Qi pulled him up, he didn't struggle at all.

Ruan Qi dragged the man to the shore, and with the help of the moonlight, she saw the drowner's face clearly.

It was a man.

And quite a handsome one at that.

Ruan Qi checked his breathing and then felt his pulse, her delicate eyebrows involuntarily furrowing.

This man's physical condition was troubling.

She took out a small pill and fed it to him, then felt around on his body.

Where was his phone?

Ruan Qi turned the man's body over, looking for a phone, ID card, wallet, bank card, keys – nothing was found.

Was this person even from the modern era?!

Ruan Qi was a bit speechless.

She took out her own phone, thinking of calling an ambulance, but then reconsidered—had he accidentally fallen into the water, or had he attempted suicide?

If he wanted to end his life, and she sent him to the hospital, would he try to jump again once he woke up?

Then her rescue would have been in vain.

Ruan Qi retracted her phone and sighed resignedly.

"Alright, my Master always said that those who practice medicine should care for all under heaven. You're lucky to have encountered me, your little Angel."
