Yu Ci did not have to wait long before he met Mr. Qingsong.
Mr. Qingsong appeared to be a lean-faced middle-aged man. He had a large frame and was somewhat thin, yet he sat in his chair with calm composure, fitting people's image of a famed physician. He had just seen a patient before this, and weariness showed between his brows, but when he saw Yu Ci and the other enter, he still smiled and nodded, looking quite kindly.
