"I already said my master figured it out from the diagnosis, Mr. Chen. Stop overthinking. Would my master lie to you?" Zhao Facai stood behind Su Fuling like a tiger using a fox's power, backing her up.

In the past, he wouldn't have dared to speak to these people like this. Chen Shan naturally didn't argue with him; instead, he was grateful for the reminder.

He had been shaken and momentarily confused. He had forgotten what Li Liang had told him before. Li Liang said that Dr. Su doesn't like being called Master—she prefers being a doctor treating patients.

His questioning was only making things difficult for Dr. Su, and would make her more careful in the future, not wanting to "diagnose" him anymore.

Or even if she did diagnose him, she wouldn't be as clear as before. Chen Shan chided himself for being so careless. "Dr.

Su, I'm sorry. It's just that I've never seen such excellent medical skills before, so I was curious. Our Chinese medicine is indeed profound."

Su Fuling said, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Chen. Feel free to refer more people to me in the future." Chen Shan nodded.

"I will." He glanced at Zhao Facai and nodded at him. Zhao Facai wore a proud look, as if he had accomplished something great.

This feeling made him think that even if he couldn't learn his master's skills, just being by her side was already worth more than anything. At that moment, Chen Shan thought that Dr.

Su only had this old man helping around the shop, which really wasn't convenient. But of course, he wouldn't show this thought.

Instead, he proposed to Su Fuling, "Dr. Su, I have a suitable shop space on this street that's perfect for setting up a clinic.

If you don't mind, you can move there today." Upon hearing this, Zhao Facai immediately cursed internally. This scheming bastard was breaking the bridge after crossing it!

He had just received advice and now wanted to steal his master! Su Fuling shook her head. "No need. This shop's space is enough for now."

She could only afford the rent for this place. Zhao Facai felt relieved. His master was indeed a loyal and righteous person.

Su Fuling mainly didn't want to owe people too many favors—receiving benefits means owing debts. She also understood why people treated her this way: it was because they valued her "fortune-telling" ability.

If she really had that skill, it would be fine to earn money with her abilities, just like those national-level traditional Chinese medicine doctors who earned higher salaries. But she didn't have that ability—it was the System's power.

Once the System left, she'd be nothing. Benefits obtained without her own abilities felt undeserved. Only when she earned all honors and material things through her own medical skills would she have the confidence to accept them.

Chen Shan felt disappointed, but this result was expected. If Dr. Su wanted fame and benefits, she wouldn't be hiding here.

She could simply demonstrate her skills in front of those wealthy patrons and she'd lack nothing. "I overthought it. Contact me if you ever need to change shops, Dr.

Su. I want to earn the rent anyway." Chen Shan said lightly. Su Fuling nodded. "I will." Zhao Facai finally relaxed, planning to clean up the shop better when he turned back.

But before his heart could fully settle, he heard Chen Shan say, "I don't know if Dr. Su is still accepting apprentices, my sister is grown but has no skills.

I'm worried about her. I hope she can learn some medical knowledge from Dr. Su, so at least she can have a proper livelihood.

She's a girl, and I don't want her doing what I do. I still hope she has a chance to walk the right path." Zhao Facai: "...!!!"
