"Elder Dou, this..." Liu Mou really had a heavy heart that he couldn't express. The Life-Reviving Needle could bring someone at death's door back to life, but for ordinary, complicated illnesses, it had absolutely no use at all.
"No need to say more, of all the physicians in the city, only your skills convince me," said Elder Dou, his undeniable words causing Liu Mou's idea of refusal to retreat. Liu Mou grudgingly said, "Alright, but whether I can cure it or not, I hope it won't be blamed on me." Liu Mou preemptively handed Elder Dou an unstable hot potato to deal with.
"Fine, just go," Elder Dou said, and then let go of Liu Mou's shoulder before jovially saying aloud, "Since we've got distinguished guests today, why don't you stay for a meal? It's just about time for dinner anyway."
Liu Mou gave Dou Yinya an awkward glance and shyly agreed, okay then, and Elder Dou arranged for him to be seated in the living room.
