Chapter 262 - 262 Obstacles to Cultivate Both the Spiritual and Demonic Path
Although the old man was disdainful, he didn’t reject Ding Mao’s arrangement.
Tea and snacks were served on an exquisite porcelain plate. The service was much better than that of Tianxiang Restaurant.
After Kong Rui took a sip of tea, she couldn’t help but sigh. If this place didn’t become a medical center and became a teahouse instead, Tianxiang Restaurant would probably lose its reputation as the number one teahouse!
!!
Although the old man was dissatisfied with Ding Mao, he liked these refreshments very much.
After eating a few pieces of refreshments, the old man suddenly remembered that Ding Mao was still beside him. “Why are you still standing here?! Go do your own thing!”
“This…” Ding Mao hesitated. Clearly, he didn’t want to leave just like that.
Ding Mao glanced at Kong Rui for help, only to see Kong Rui holding a cup of tea, which covered her face.
Kong Rui ignored Ding Mao. Someone else would deal with him now anyway.
The old man snorted. “Why aren’t you leaving?”
Ding Mao looked aggrieved, but he could only turn around and leave.
When he reached the door, Ding Mao glanced into the room indignantly.
After the old man snorted again, Ding Mao immediately left the room and closed the door.
The old man finally picked up the teacup and drank it in satisfaction.
After drinking the tea, Kong Rui reached out to pour tea for the old man, but the old man had already picked up the teapot and filled his own cup.
Kong Rui shook her head helplessly and asked, “Old Master, let’s get back to the topic! Did you come to me today because of Doctor Ding…”
The old man didn’t reply. Instead, he picked up his teacup and downed it in one gulp again.
After eating and drinking his fill, the old man leaned back in his chair and patted his belly in satisfaction. “Although Ding Mao doesn’t have any abilities, he has good taste!”
The magnificent scene on the first floor of the medical center immediately flashed across Kong Rui’s mind and she couldn’t help but shiver.
The old man ignored Kong Rui’s actions and continued, “However, no one can inherit my skills. How…”
The old man sighed heavily.
Kong Rui felt that something was wrong with the old man’s words and immediately said, “You’re old but strong, so you’ll definitely be able to find someone you like to inherit your peerless medical skills!”
The old man couldn’t help but laugh when he heard Kong Rui’s insincere flattery.
However, the old man discerned Kong Rui’s rejection.
“You’re quite interesting,” the old man said as he sized up Kong Rui. “The way you cultivate is also very… unique.”
Kong Rui, who was about to pick up her teacup, paused. “Sir, did you discover something?”
The old man smiled even more aloofly. “Don’t be afraid! I have seen all kinds of people, so this is not the first time I’ve seen someone who cultivates both the spiritual and demonic path.”
“However, I’m curious that you can have such a situation at such a young age…” The old man paused, as if waiting for Kong Rui to continue.
Kong Rui retracted her hand and rubbed her hands together tightly, as if she was conflicted about something.
The old man wasn’t in a hurry to urge her. Instead, he waited for Kong Rui’s response quietly.
After a while, Kong Rui looked up at the old man. “Sir, I can’t tell you about my experience, but I’m a little puzzled about something. I wonder if you can enlighten me?”
The old man placed his hands on the chair and acted as if he had known that Kong Rui would need his help.
Kong Rui frowned again and thought about it for a moment before saying, “I do cultivate both the spiritual and demonic path, but that’s an accident.”
Kong Rui didn’t intend to hide it anymore. Since the old man had already discovered it and the other party didn’t seem to have any ill intentions, it was better to ask the other party.
“However, ever since spiritual power and demonic power entered my body, it has been very difficult for my cultivation level to improve. My progress has been very slow until now.”
When the old man saw Kong Rui’s humble attitude, he smiled in satisfaction.
