Chapter 1292: The Mermaid in the Mansion
The divine doctor Su, whom Qiu Liang praised endlessly, now lives in the Qiu Mansion.
After all, he was the benefactor who saved Mrs. Qiu and should be treated as a guest of honor.
Qiu Liang is a person who will share any good things with his best friends. This was the case last time when he dragged Wen Ren Ding to Qizhenlou, and it is still the same now that he knows Doctor Su.
Before Wen Ren Ding could say anything to refuse, he had already ordered his servants to invite someone.
In less than a cup of tea, the servant invited Doctor Su over.
Different from the white-haired and white-bearded miracle doctor in people's impression, Miracle Doctor Su is actually a young man dressed in a green shirt, with an elegant and refined demeanor, which makes people easily like him at first sight.
"Doctor Su, this is my brother Ding! Brother Ding, this is Doctor Su. My mother got better so quickly thanks to meeting Doctor Su!" Qiu Liang excitedly introduced the two people.
Divine Doctor Su glanced past Qiu Liang and then at Wen Ren Ding. He bowed in greeting without being humble or overbearing.
"Mr. Wenren."
Wen Ren Ding frowned and remained silent.
There was an aura about this Divine Doctor Su that made him dislike him.
"Brother Ding, what's wrong?" Qiu Liang looked a little embarrassed when he saw that he didn't answer.
Wen Rending glanced at him, frowned and said perfunctorily, "Nothing."
The atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward for a moment. Qiu Liang knew Wen Ren Ding's temper well, so he didn't dare to ask any further questions. He could only smile awkwardly and ask Doctor Su to sit down, secretly complaining in his heart that Wen Ren Ding didn't give him face.
He wanted to keep Doctor Su at our house for a while longer, fearing that he would neglect him, and then he started talking to Doctor Su even more enthusiastically.
Doctor Su had a gentle expression as he answered his questions, but his eyes would always fall on Wen Ren Ding from time to time.
Wen Ren Ding lowered his head and held the teacup with a cold expression.
After a while, he finished his cup of tea and stood up to say goodbye and leave.
"Brother Ding! You've come here with great difficulty, so please have dinner at my house before leaving!" Qiu Liang then remembered that he had unknowingly neglected Wen Ren Ding and hurriedly tried to make up for it.
"No need."
Wen Ren Ding remained calm and walked out when he suddenly heard the voice of Doctor Su.
"Mr. Wenren, please stay and listen to me."
He didn't intend to listen, but Doctor Su still said the next words.
"He is not of my kind, and his intentions are treacherous. Master Wenren, you should keep your distance from him."
This sentence made Wen Ren Ding frown even more tightly, and the hostility seeped out from his brows bit by bit.
Stop and want to turn back.
"Dr. Su, you..."
Qiu Liang's voice made Wen Ren Ding change his mind. He glanced at Doctor Su and turned away.
His words of complete disbelief frightened Qiu Liang, who obeyed Dr. Su's every word.
His face changed, and he stared at Divine Doctor Su anxiously, "Divine Doctor Su, what do you mean by what you just said? What do you mean by not of my kind? What will happen to Brother Ding?"
The day before, Doctor Su told him that he was well versed in the Book of Changes and could read faces a little, so Qiu Liang believed what he said without a doubt.
Doctor Su's eyes were still fixed on Wen Ren Ding's back. He watched Wen Ren Ding go away with his eyes fixed on him. He answered seriously, "I see that the aura around Master Wen Ren is not right. I'm afraid he is being entangled by some evil spirit."
"Could it be... a mermaid?"
Qiu Liang immediately thought of Wen Ren Ding's performance in Qizhen Tower that day, as well as his reaction after he mentioned the mermaid pearl that day, and he believed what Doctor Su said without much effort.
"What will happen to Brother Ding? Will he be in danger?" he asked nervously.
Doctor Su frowned, shook his head and sighed.
After Wen Ren Ding left the Qiu Mansion, he did not stay outside for a moment, nor did he take Doctor Su's words to heart. He went straight back home.
At the beginning, an old Taoist said that he was doomed to be unlucky, and he believed it. He didn't want to implicate others, so he stayed away from everyone in the Wen family.
But now someone comes out and says that the mermaid will harm him, and he doesn't believe a word of it!
Wen Ren Ding didn’t know that his two completely different attitudes were what later generations called “extreme double standards.”
