Fairy Li couldn't stop him, so Su Ziyang dialed the landlord's number.

Then Fairy Li's phone rang on the sofa.

"Sigh. Someone's looking for me. You should ask the landlord first. I'll go answer the phone."

Fairy Li put down her chopsticks and walked towards the sofa.

Su Ziyang frowned, looked back at the sofa, and then pressed the hang-up button.

The phone in Fairy Li's hand immediately stopped ringing.

Then Su Ziyang dialed again, and Fairy Li's phone rang again.

Su Ziyang hung up and called again...

"Hehe, Susu." Fairy Li looked at Su Ziyang shyly.

"Wait a minute, I didn't react in time..."

Then Su Ziyang dialed the landlord's WeChat number again, and Fairy Li's phone rang again...

"Zijun..."

"Hey, Susu, don't be angry. I'll confess, I'll confess! This house is mine. I, I, I thought you just graduated and didn't have much money, so I thought you could stay here... I've already charged you rent, I've accepted it!"

Fairy Li stood there stammering, like a little girl who had done something wrong.

Only then did Su Ziyang Su Ziyang understand. He had asked Fairy Li why she always carried two cell phones, Fairy Li had said they were specifically for contacting clients.

Then Su Ziyang recalled why Fairy Li was so familiar with all the furnishings in the house, even though she lived there. Su Ziyang had always assumed that Fairy Li was the one who rented the house.

Seeing Fairy Li pouting and drawing circles with her head down, Su Ziyang felt a surge of emotion.

"I should thank you!"

Su Ziyang pulled Fairy Li into his arms.

"Susu, I can't breathe."

After being held by Su Ziyang for a while, Fairy Li weakly said something, and only then did Su Ziyang release Fairy Li.

"I'll still pay you rent from now on, landlord!"

Su Ziyang lifted Fairy Li onto a stool and kept putting food on Fairy Li plate.

"Fine. But I'm in a bad mood right now, so I'm raising the rent! Haha. Unless you wash the dishes!"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Su Ziyang smiled and served food to Fairy Li.

Busy with house calls, Yang Tianzheng finished looking for the books and had time to deal with Su Ziyang. The daily torture began again, and Su Ziyang found that this was really good, his days were fulfilling!

After he finished exercising, Su Ziyang's phone kept buzzing.

He discovered that it was Teacher Yi from before sending him a message. Not knowing what it meant, Su Ziyang clicked on the voice message and listened to it.

The voice message was quite long, and this Teacher Yi seemed to be from Hunan, as his accent was very heavy, and Su Ziyang couldn't quite understand it.

However, Su Ziyang understood the general meaning: they were scolding Su Ziyang, saying that Su Ziyang had cut off his source of income and negated his learning.

The last sentence sounded like Su Ziyang wanted to challenge Su Ziyang to a medical skills contest or something. Su Ziyang thought the person was crazy and boring, so he deleted the message, blocked them, and ignored them.

"Su Ziyang, go take a shower. Don't touch me, I'm covered in sweat and stink!"

After Su Ziyang returned, he tried to hug Fairy Li. Fairy Li screamed and ran away.

"Hey-hey."

Su Ziyang stopped teasing Fairy Li, took his change of clothes, and went to take a bath.

Su Ziyang didn't take Teacher Yi seriously and just treated Teacher Yi like a Sunday.

Three days later, my fourth uncle suddenly called again.

"Ziyang, you've blocked Teacher Yi in that group."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Su Ziyang felt that his fourth uncle was being a bit too idle and didn't really want to say anything more.

He made your fourth aunt sick!

"My fourth uncle said anxiously on the phone."

"What the heck? What did you say?"

Su Ziyang frowned, not understanding what his fourth uncle meant.

"You... Last night, he challenged you to a medical contest, and then you blocked him. He contacted me, saying that if you didn't agree to the contest, he'd make your fourth aunt sick, saying she'd vomit in the morning and have diarrhea in the afternoon. And now it's all come true! You'd better hurry!"

Su Ziyang felt utterly bewildered as he listened to his fourth uncle's words.

"No, what does he want with you?"

"He knows we're related."

How did he know?

"I told him! I told him the story you told me, and he got angry!"

"Ziyang, why aren't you saying anything? Think of something!"

Fourth Uncle asked anxiously.

Su Ziyang sighed, "Fourth Uncle, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but you're so old, why are you always doing things like a child? Why are you teasing him?"

"Damn it. You're just blaming me. Can't you handle things? You don't care about me. Don't you care about your aunt either!"

Fourth Uncle was getting impatient, and Su Ziyang sighed helplessly, "Stop it, stop it, stop it. Why are you getting so worked up? Wait a bit."

After Su Ziyang removed Teacher Yi from his blacklist, he received a flood of messages.

"What do you want? Did you use some kind of black magic to bewitch my aunt? Hurry up and get to the point!"

Su Ziyang was also annoyed and got straight to the point.

"Didn't you say my medical skills are bad, that I'm a fraud? You try treating me! If you win, I'll disband the group immediately without a word and never practice medicine again. If you lose, you apologize to me. And then go apologize to me in the group!"

"Okay. Then how did you make my fourth aunt sick? You should get her treated first."

Su Ziyang readily agreed and then stated his requirements, with Xuyang Su Ziyang's matter resurfacing in his mind.

The saying goes, "Once bitten by a snake, twice shy." Su Ziyang dared not be careless.

"I didn't make her sick; she just had gastroenteritis. I was just trying to scare them. I'm telling you the truth, so don't go back on your word!"

After Teacher Yi said that, Su Ziyang was stunned...

Concern leads to confusion, that's how it is. Because of what happened with Xuyang before, Su Ziyang hadn't considered the possibility of a common illness, but now that he thought about it, he felt a little scared.

I wonder if anyone has seen the TV series "The Grand Mansion Gate". When someone in the Bai family fell ill, they asked others to come and treat them. This is because concern can cloud judgment; being too concerned can lead to misdiagnosis.

"Okay. I agree. You tell me how you want to compete!"

Su Ziyang was teased by Teacher Yi and is now throwing a little tantrum.

"If you act like this, I run a traditional Chinese medicine clinic at home. Do you dare come to this place...?"

Teacher Yi mentioned a place near Lake N, and Su Ziyang was a bit confused. "What if you hit me if I go there?"

Just as I was hesitating whether to agree, Mr. Mengfei strode in. "There's a Dharma assembly here next week, the clinic will be closed for a week. Come with me to Lake N."

"Huh? Going out again?"

Su Ziyang looked at the anxious Mr. Mengfei.

"Okay. Going out is fine. You don't need to ask for leave this time, your master will send you the money. Get ready, and have Xiao Zijun come along too. I have something to do, just know that!"

After saying that, Mr. Mengfei left in a somewhat flustered manner.
