Su Qing was taken aback by the remarkable effectiveness of the herbs that Qin Zhenzhen had found for him. The swelling in his feet had completely disappeared after applying the herbs for the second time. It seemed almost magical to him.
In the midst of preparing dinner, Qin Zhenzhen received Su Qing's assistance. As he observed her, admiration for her grew within him, giving rise to a sudden glimmer of hope.
"Third Sister-in-law, would you consider accepting me as your disciple?" he asked earnestly.
Thinking he was joking, Qin Zhenzhen replied, "What is it that you wish to learn?"
Su Qing's expression was resolute as he responded, "I want to learn the art of herb identification and the skill to save lives."
Qin Zhenzhen smiled, her tone gentle yet firm. "Saving lives is not an easy task. It requires a great deal of effort. Besides, I am not a trained physician."
