Chapter 206 Loyalty!
"Cough cough..."
Bai Zhantang stared blankly at everyone in front of him.
Feeling embarrassed, he coughed twice, trying to divert everyone's attention.
The result was not good; everyone's eyes were still fixed on him.
As the saying goes, when people are in a very awkward situation, they will subconsciously want to find other topics to talk about.
Bai Zhantang was no exception. Thinking of this, his eyes darted around, and he began to look around.
See what other topics we can talk about.
Inadvertently, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Mei Niansheng standing to the side.
Bai Zhantang's eyes lit up instantly. "You're the one!"
In an instant, his face was full of smiles, and he cupped his hands towards Shan Tianxie and asked.
"Look at you, you almost forgot your job while chatting. May I ask who this senior colleague is?"
To be fair, Bai Zhantang, being a legendary thief, did have a keen eye.
He could tell at a glance that Mei Niansheng's martial arts skills were quite high.
Although Mei Niansheng's clothes were tattered and his expression was somewhat dejected at the moment.
However, his imposing and dignified demeanor could not be concealed no matter what.
Based on his previous experience in the martial arts world, this old man was definitely no ordinary person!
Therefore, he spoke very politely.
"Look at my memory."
Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie finally remembered the important matter.
I almost forgot about Mei Niansheng, who is still waiting to be treated for her injuries.
"I might have to trouble you with this matter, Brother Bai."
"Young Master Shan, what are you saying!"
Bai Zhantang feigned displeasure, "Just tell me what you need, why are you being so polite with me, Old Bai!"
Bai Zhantang said, feigning anger.
"Okay. Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie nodded, then smiled casually and said, "I would like to ask Brother Bai to make a trip and invite the best doctor in town to treat Master Mei's injuries."
"Hey, it's nothing, leave it to me!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhantang patted his chest and readily agreed.
In his view, this kind of errand-running work is also a matter of course.
Right now, as long as he can avoid everyone's piercing gazes and Manager Tong's nagging, he'll do anything.
After saying that, Bai Zhantang swayed and prepared to run out of the inn.
Before he could even set off, Shan Tianxie stretched out his arm and gently stopped him.
Just as Bai Zhantang was about to ask what was going on, he saw Shan Tianxie take out a silver ingot from his pocket and hand it to Bai Zhantang.
Bai Zhantang glanced at the silver ingot handed over and roughly estimated that it must be worth at least ten taels!
Back in the day, when he was still known as the "King of Thieves," he spent money like water.
Back then, he would casually tip his servants at least fifty taels of silver, so this amount of silver was nothing to him.
But for Lao Bai, a waiter now, this is a huge sum of money!
He earned two qian of silver a month, which amounted to only two liang and four qian a year.
Ten taels of silver is enough for me to work hard for four or five years!
Bai Zhantang's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
What does Young Master Shan mean by this? A delivery fee? You're paying this much for a delivery?!
Dan Tianxie had no idea what he was thinking, and just chuckled softly.
"It's getting late now, and I'm afraid some doctors won't be willing to make house calls. Brother Bai, it would be easier to talk to them if you brought some silver with you."
“Young Master Shan is right.”
Bai Zhantang tried hard to control himself and not let the tears in the corners of his eyes fall.
His heart was bleeding: "My ten taels of silver!"
Dan Tianxie looked at his expression, as if he had thought of something, and paused slightly.
"If there's anything left, Brother Bai, please keep it for your own drinks; consider it a token of your appreciation for your hard work."
"I'll do my job for Young Master Shan!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhantang's expression instantly hardened.
Only two words could be vaguely seen on his face: loyalty!
At the same time, he was already calculating in his mind: how could hiring a doctor cost ten taels of silver?
Based on the prices in Qixia Town, you should be able to save at least three or four taels by then.
He secretly kept the money to buy alcohol for himself, how wonderful!
With that in mind, Bai Zhantang didn't delay any longer and reached out to take the silver.
With a light touch of the toes to the ground, he shot out like an arrow released from a bow.
Everyone felt as if a gentle breeze had passed by, and when they looked again, Bai Zhantang had disappeared without a trace.
"What a handsome Qinggong!"
Upon seeing this, Mei Niansheng couldn't help but praise it.
He had noticed before that the waiter's lightness skill was quite high, but he didn't expect it to be this high.
Even ordinary masters, in terms of lightness skill alone, would probably only be able to look up to him.
Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie wholeheartedly agreed.
After all, Bai Zhantang, like the Green-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao, is a man whose lightness skill is maxed out.
Both of them were natural-born geniuses when it came to light-footed skills.
Even someone like Bai Zhantang, who only practices martial arts sporadically, could only manage a few days of training on weekdays.
However, judging from the speed it just displayed, it was even faster than when we first met.
Such talent in martial arts is truly terrifying!
The group then entered Tongfu Inn, having traveled for a long time and were quite hungry.
So Shan Tianxie and the others ate a simple meal first, and were just about to go upstairs to rest when...
Bai Zhantang hurriedly dragged an old man into the inn.
Dan Tianxie's gaze swept over the old man carrying a medicine box, who was clearly the doctor Bai Zhantang had found.
"Young Master Shan, I'm back."
Bai Zhantang wiped his sweat and said breathlessly.
"What Young Master Shan said earlier was quite right; many clinics are closed this late at night."
Fortunately, I met a kind-hearted doctor who was willing to come with me because of the money!
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Bai."
Dan Tianxie smiled at Bai Zhantang.
Then he turned to look at the doctor beside him, pointed at Mei Niansheng, and said softly.
"Please have the doctor examine this patient's injuries first."
"Alright, let me take a look first."
Upon hearing this, the doctor nodded.
After all, it's only right to do favors when you're paid.
He then slowly walked to Mei Niansheng and carefully began to examine Mei Niansheng's injuries.
However, the doctor frowned as he examined her.
After examining him for a while, the doctor shook his head, stood up, and bowed apologetically to Shan Tianxie.
"Young master, this old man's injuries are far too severe. My medical skills are too limited to treat him. Please seek out a more skilled physician."
"In that case, I'll trouble the doctor to prescribe some wound medicine to treat Senior Mei's sword wound."
