A year flew by in the blink of an eye.
Half-Leisure Hall.
A young boy came charging in with a great fuss, shouting, "Boss Fang, I've come to play with you again..."
"Wait a moment!"
Aaron was setting the bones of an old farmer. After securing the bandages, he saw how desperately poor the man was and waived much of the medicine fee, earning a great deal of thanks.
He unhurriedly fetched water in a copper basin and began washing his hands.
Li Xiao had been watching from the side the whole time, looking deeply curious.
Half-Leisure Hall's business had been dismal at first.
But a few months ago, Aaron had displayed his miraculous skill and saved a farmer wounded by a Five-Step Dragon, instantly making a name for himself. Only then did business gradually begin to pick up.
Li Xiao had been one of the eyewitnesses.
Ever since then, he had loved running over to Half-Leisure Hall whenever he had nothing to do, and his aunt—whose roar could shake half the town—had not stopped him.
Aaron immediately understood that Second Aunt Li probably did not want Li Xiao to keep doing odd jobs until he truly became a shop waiter.
Rather than becoming an innkeeper in the future, greeting guests and seeing them off with a forced smile, he might as well learn a practical skill—such as opening a clinic!
Unfortunately...
Aaron had secretly examined Li Xiao and found that he possessed little aptitude for cultivation. Nor did he have any staying power; whatever he did, he only learned it for the novelty, then quickly shifted his interest elsewhere.
Now that he was dealing with such a mischievous child, he immediately had an idea. Smiling, he said, "You're here? Today, I'll teach you real skills. Come, start by reading!"
