At last, Li Zian had gone back. That kid might have had a lot of fun last night. It was indeed good to be young. But that's not to say it was bad to be old either. Only fools would say they wished to stay young forever.
Only when you had such grey hair and hunch back, you could use them as an excuse of being too old to work hard and sleep as much as you like. With that satisfied smile on his face, physician Chen closed the door to his chamber as soon as the disciple had left.
Yawning and walking over to his bed, the physician prepared to take another nap.
Life was perfect when you took a travel to the dreamland. And this physician was already determined to have a good sleep up until he have some good dream that would made his day.
He had already slipped under the comfy quilt and was ready to fall asleep when another series of knocks came, disturbing the poor physician's sleep yet again.
He suddenly felt like crying. Why in the world would all the patients of the snowy-light peak keep coming at his door? Didn't they even know how to pity an old physician like him?The physician, who couldn't bear to part with this precious bed of his anymore, just chose to keep silent and pretend to be sleeping. After a couple of knocks, they would just go quiet down and leave.
But he was terribly wrong because a certain someone outside his chamber was unyielding. And when they knew the physician inside would not answer the door just like this, they started to call his name out loud.
"Yeye Chen...yeye Chen.....wake up. The sun was already up high in the sky. How long are you planning to keep sleeping? Yeye Chen, it's not good to be idle. Get up and walk a round or two around the peak. This way, it 's good for your health....Yeye Chen!"
*Yeye means grandpa in chinese*
The physician wanted to cry but had no tears. Like father, like son.....No, that kid Li Jie was far even more cruel than his father. When it was the immortal, he did nothing other than knocking a thousand times. Yeah....he was feeling very grateful for that right now. Compared to this unruly kid, that immortal was still better a hundred times.
Just look at what he's doing right now. Yelling his name with that ear-splitting tone as his hand was doing its job, pounding on his door.....that kid was not scheming to let the entire sect know that this old physician here was a lazy being and still didn't get up, was he?
Succumbing to his own fate, the physician rose to his feet as he swang open the door with some impatience. Forcing an ugly smile, he asked.
"Li Jie, just tell me what you want from this old man and stop breaking my door, will you?"
"Hahaha.....sorry, yeye Chen. I just want to tell you to take a walk from time to time. Constant sleeping won't be good for your body in the long run."
Laughing and teasing this physician yeye, Wang Li Jie said, covering his neck with one hand. He knew this yeye of his would be still in his bed by now. Even so, he had no choice but to yank him out of there. There were almost a hundred physicians in Jianyu Sect in total. And they were all professional and skilled with their own unique style of treatment. But this physician was different.
Wang Li Jie had been familiar with physician Chen since he was a little toddler. By then, Jianyu Sect was nothing more than a small one with thirty or so members barely in it. This physician was like a big brother to immortal Wang since that time.
That was when little Li Jie was born- during the time when a great war between demons and cultivators was happening. Their sect was also going through a hard time by then.
And some of the members even left Jianyu Sect calculating their lives wouldn't safe during the big war if they stayed here any longer and depended on it. Physician Chen was one of the loyal brothers who didn't leave this sect and went through all those hardships altogether with his brothers including the immortal Wang.
The physician was an expert only in the field of medicine and didn't have any martial skills, so when other members left the peak for the war, he was chosen to leave behind and hold the fort during sect leader Wang's absence.
Little Li Jie was a happy and playful kid at that time, so half the time this kid would sneak away and come to his chamber to play hide and seek. In reality, physician Chen was more aged than his father only by fifteen years or so. But little Li Jie would not just stop calling him this yeye or that yeye. Both of immortal Wang and his mom Meilin told the kid to call the physician uncle. But the elfish little Li Jie would not just change this way of address.
Nevertheless, he didn't feel offended or irritated by that. His sworn brother Wang Taio was an orphan since little, so, as an older brother of his, the physician always felt he needed to take the responsibility of a father for Wang Taio.
And when that little kid Li Jie, the son of his sworn younger brother, called him yeye, it was just so cute that the physician didn't bear to say nothing about that, willingly telling the kid just to call him like that. Well...the background story of the address "Yeye" ended here. Now let's get back to the current time.
Pissed off, the sleepy physician Chen knocked the youth's head in impatience and ordered in a stern tone.
"What the....
stop telling nonsense and just spit it out already. What are you here for?... "
"Wait a minute...why are you covering your neck like that?"
Realizing weird manner of the youth whose hand was sticking to his own neck as though someone had just used glue there, Yeye Chen asked, focusing his eyes on the kid's neck.
"Hahaha....yeye...um....
To be honest, that is exactly why I'm here....Could I have a check up here, please? ..."
With that said, Wang Li Jie took his hand off, revealing all those purple bruises on his own neck.
Yeye Chen "..."
What the hell....
Which damn bastard bullied this kid of his?
