190: Money-loving Su Xiaoxuan

Qin Shilei was somewhat surprised, but he still walked forward without changing his expression and asked, "Are you Miraculous Doctor Su?"

Su Xiaoxuan, who was writing something, said without raising her head, "Registration fee is ten crystals for males, five crystals for females. Pay first, then see the doctor."

"It's actually that expensive," Dong Qi muttered softly, "And why is the registration fee for men double that for women?"

"Because men's money is easier to earn," Su Xiaoxuan said matter-of-factly.

What the hell? Does a patient's money also differentiate between genders?

"A female patient, here is the registration fee," Qin Shilei took out five crystals.

As soon as the crystals were placed on the table, a fair, jade-like hand instantly snatched them away.

After collecting the money, Su Xiaoxuan enthusiastically guided Yin Xiaoxue to place Kong Qingshu on the sickbed.

While observing Kong Qingshu, she asked, "Please tell me about the patient's condition."

Qin Shilei described in detail the reason for Kong Qingshu's coma.

After listening, Su Xiaoxuan took Kong Qingshu's pulse.

Qin Shilei saw her withdraw her fingers from Kong Qingshu's wrist and asked, "How is it? Do you have a good grasp of it?"

Su Xiaoxuan frowned and thought for a while before replying, "Only sixty percent certainty."

After speaking, she sized up Qin Shilei and his group, then extended her hand towards Qin Shilei.

"What? Do you need me to provide something?" Qin Shilei asked, puzzled.

"Consultation fee," Su Xiaoxuan said irritably, "A bargain at 200 crystals per session."

Qin Shilei frowned, but still pulled out two hundred crystals, "How many sessions will be needed?"

As soon as the crystals were put down, Su Xiaoxuan quickly collected them again, "A minimum of three sessions, a maximum of ten. If it still doesn't work, I'll be powerless."

Seeing Qin Shilei take out two hundred crystals without batting an eye, Su Xiaoxuan looked as if she had seen a golden money tree.

Her eyes lit up as she looked at Qin Shilei and the others.

Suddenly, she said mysteriously, "How about I prescribe some medicine for you too? It's guaranteed to make your marital relationship more harmonious."

Qin Shilei's face was full of black lines as he said indifferently, "No need, please treat my companion first."

"I'm telling you, if you're good, she's good; everyone being good is truly good. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

Su Xiaoxuan, a young woman, spoke about such matters without any reservation, as if she had instantly transformed into a swindler selling fake medicine.

But as she was speaking, she suddenly paused, "No, your body is very healthy, you don't need my treatment."

Then she turned to Dong Qi and said, "This gentleman, however, does need some treatment. For just two hundred crystals, I guarantee you'll be free from the problem of being too short on time."

These words instantly made Dong Qi's face flush crimson.

"I... I'm perfectly fine. No need for your concern."

If his Lord Xiao wasn't present, Dong Qi would have flipped the table and taught Su Xiaoxuan a good lesson.

"Sigh, why do people always avoid seeking medical attention for their ailments?"

Su Xiaoxuan muttered softly as she wrote out a prescription and told the nurse next to her to fetch the medicine.

Seeing that she couldn't make another sale, her expression straightened, and she ushered Qin Shilei and the others out, "Please leave, I need to perform acupuncture on the patient."

Less than two minutes after Qin Shilei left the ward, Su Xiaoxuan came out again, "The needles can only be removed in half an hour. You can wait nearby for now."

"Alright," Qin Shilei turned and instructed Dong Qi, "You go find a place to stay nearby first."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxuan immediately interjected, "Aren't you from around here? Why don't you just stay here? There are several empty rooms upstairs, and it's convenient to observe the injured person at any time."

Qin Shilei nodded indifferently, "Okay."

"A bargain at twenty crystals per person per day, and one hundred crystals for the patient."

Su Xiaoxuan beamed with joy and extended her slender, jade-like hands towards Qin Shilei again.

"You're robbing us!" Dong Qi said, displeased.

In Hope City, there were also hotels, and for two crystals a day, one could stay in a five-star hotel.

Now, the other party immediately quadrupled the price, and even with his Lord Xiao present, Dong Qi couldn't help but condemn her.

"My place has a beautiful environment, and I provide three meals for free. It's also convenient for you to take care of the patient. I'm not ripping you off at all."

Su Xiaoxuan counted on her fingers, explaining how economical it was to stay at her place.

Qin Shilei counted out four hundred and eighty crystals and handed them over, "Let's stay for three days first."

Su Xiaoxuan immediately became even more enthusiastic, "Flower, bring tea."

Qin Shilei and the other two sat down at a nearby tea table, quietly waiting for Kong Qingshu's treatment to finish.

"Lord Xiao, this doctor is so young, can she really cure Commander Kong?" Dong Qi asked in a low voice.

"Although traditional Chinese medicine practitioners generally get more skilled with age, since so many people are lining up to see her, she should still have some ability," Qin Shilei replied.

"I don't know if she has ability, but she's very good at making money," Yin Xiaoxue interjected.

In the short ten-plus minutes they had been sitting there, Su Xiaoxuan had already seen four patients, charging each patient from twenty to thirty crystals up to a hundred crystals.

There were forty to fifty people waiting in line outside. After a careful calculation, even Qin Shilei was surprised by the amount of crystals Miraculous Doctor Su earned in a day.

Another ten-plus minutes passed. After Kong Qingshu had her needles removed, Qin Shilei and the others were led by the nurse to the third floor of the clinic.

"Lunch will be sent up to you later."

Just as Qin Shilei and the others had settled Kong Qingshu, a commotion suddenly erupted downstairs.

"Lord Xiao, it seems to be those people from the Zhou Tian Sword Sect just now," Dong Qi listened carefully and recognized the voice of one of them.

"You two stay here and protect Kong Qingshu. I'll go down and see."

Qin Shilei finished speaking and walked downstairs.

As soon as he reached the first floor, he found that the clinic was surrounded by over a hundred people.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxuan stood at the doorway, her pretty face cold as she said:

"Sect Master Zhou, I, Su Xiaoxuan, am Lord Xiao's honored guest. Are you not afraid of Lord Xiao causing you trouble by acting like this?"

Opposite her, a middle-aged man of about thirty smiled and said, "I, Zhou Zhengyang, am not here to make things difficult for you, Miraculous Doctor Su. It's just that someone slandered my Zhou Tian Sword Sect, and if I, Zhou, don't seek justice, how can I establish myself in Lingquan City in the future?"

Zhou Xiangrong interjected, "Miraculous Doctor Su, I'm looking for two men and two women, one of whom was being carried. They entered your clinic and haven't come out."

When the other party said this, Su Xiaoxuan immediately thought of Qin Shilei and the four of them.

On one side was her big patron, and on the other was the powerful Zhou Tian Sword Sect. Su Xiaoxuan was momentarily difficult to choose.

However, thinking of the generous Qin Shilei, she still spoke again, "There are only my patients in the clinic, Sect Master Zhou, please go back."

Zhou Zhengyang's face turned cold, and he said coldly, "Su Xiaoxuan, don't be ungrateful. Hand over those four people immediately if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, don't blame me, Zhou, for being impolite."

Su Xiaoxuan's expression changed. Just as she was about to bring up Lord Xiao again, she suddenly saw Qin Shilei walking over from the stairwell.

"Are you looking for me?" Qin Shilei walked emotionlessly in front of Zhou Zhengyang.
