Chapter 160 Are You Qualified? (3rd Update)
"Xiaoxuan, I know that the culture abroad is different from here at home, but look at you, all bluster and fury. Who are you planning to kill?" Kong Yaonian frowned and chided. Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
Kong Xiaoxuan clenched her teeth tightly on her lower lip, glaring fiercely at Shen Feng, who seemed nonchalant as if nothing had happened. Could she really say that this rascal had seen her whole body?
Now she had no choice but to swallow her anger for the time being, forcing a gentle smile on her face: "Elder Xu, Elder Xiang, Elder Shao, Elder Li."
Kong Xiaoxuan greeted the four elders who had arrived politely, but as she saw Shen Feng sitting steadily, his expression unchanged, her smile became stiffer and stiffer. In her heart, she gnashed her teeth; she longed to bite Shen Feng hard. He had seen her entire body, yet he remained so calm; his acting skills were even better than hers.
The four elders who entered with Kong Yaonian nodded slightly towards Kong Xiaoxuan.
One of them, with slightly graying eyebrows, was Elder Xu Yuanhai. His medical skills were recognized by many in Wuzhou, where he ran his own clinic, bustling with patients every day. His specialty was traditional Chinese medicine.
Another, dressed in a black robe exuding an air of an ancient physician, was Elder Xiang Guihua. Known as the King of Acupuncture in the Wuzhou medical circle, his acupuncture technique was formidable, unmatched throughout Wuzhou, and he was currently the dean of the largest traditional Chinese medicine hospital in the city.
Another, with a rather large mouth, was Elder Shao Manhong. He appeared robust and primarily practiced Western medicine, with special expertise in oncology.
The last, with a perpetual cold look on his face, was Elder Li Zhenfa. Like Elder Shao, he specialized in Western medicine, particularly skilled in surgery, earning the nickname "Saint of Surgery" from many.
Xu Yuanhai and Xiang Guihua specialized in traditional Chinese medicine, while Shao Manhong and Li Zhenfa practiced Western medicine.
"Xiaoxuan, you are becoming more beautiful as you grow. Whoever marries you in the future is indeed very fortunate," Xiang Guihua said with a smile.
Xu Yuanhai immediately added, "That's true, Xiaoxuan is a genius in our medical circle. In the future, the medical circle of Huaxia Country will look up to you young people."
Shao Manhong also laughed, "You practice traditional Chinese medicine, while Xiaoxuan is trained in Western medicine. Have you finally admitted that the medical future of Huaxia Country relies on the expansion of Western medicine?"
At this, the faces of Xu Yuanhai and Xiang Guihua turned cold instantly, but before they could retort,
Li Zhenfa, staring at Shen Feng, said, "Old Kong, shouldn't you give us a proper introduction?"
Because of what Li Zhenfa said,
Xu Yuanhai and the other two elders turned their gaze to Shen Feng, having almost forgotten about this young man amidst Kong Xiaoxuan's commotion.
Kong Yaonian, displeased, said, "Old Li, have I not already introduced him to you? This is Little Brother Shen, his medical skill can be described as miraculous. You must not underestimate Little Brother Shen; his medical skill far surpasses our own."
Kong Yaonian spoke with great confidence, as if he were praising himself.
Shao Manhong smiled blandly and said, "Old Kong, don't joke. You say this youngster's medical skill is miraculous? Look at our own ages, we're no youngsters anymore, yet we wouldn't dare claim our medical skills to be miraculous. What makes you so confident in this youngster's abilities? What can he do?"
Without any niceties, Kong Yaonian said, "Old Shao, Little Brother Shen can bring the dead back to life. With this alone, isn't it enough to say his medical skill is miraculous?"
Bring the dead back to life?
Shao Manhong and the others doubted their ears; this was sheer nonsense! What on earth was going through Old Kong's head?
"Old Kong, are you dreaming? He resuscitated the dead using traditional Chinese medicine? Surely you haven't fallen for some scam?"
"This kid is simply a swindler; he wants to use you to gold-plate himself at the medical selection competition, making it all the easier to scam money later on,"
Li Zhenfa's voice carried a hint of mockery.
Seeing that these four old men had raised doubts about Shen Feng, Kong Xiaoxuan felt a surge of satisfaction inside her and thought to herself, "Little con man, just you wait! My 'tofu' isn't so easily devoured."
Xu Yuanhai patted Kong Yaonian's shoulder and said, "Old Kong, although you are praising traditional Chinese medicine, it also sounds rather mysterious to me. Do you think it's possible? Which one of us studying traditional Chinese medicine has not accumulated our knowledge day by day? Are you really going to let him participate in this domestic medical selection competition?"
Kong Yaonian had been in high spirits today, intending to introduce Shen Feng to these four elders, but to his surprise, they had reacted with such attitudes.
"Do you four really not trust my judgment? Little Brother Shen's medical skills are absolutely impeccable," Kong Yaonian roared.
"Old Kong, don't let this kid disgrace himself. When the time comes, we in the Wuzhou medical circle can't afford to lose face like that. Hurry and have him leave!" Shao Manhong said casually.
Kong Yaonian's face grew uglier by the moment; these arrogant elders didn't even believe his word.
Seeing Kong Yaonian's fluctuating expression, Li Zhenfa said, "Old Kong, it's not that we don't trust you. Let's do this—have the kid show us a thing or two, let his medical skills do the talking."
Just then.
Shen Feng stood up and said to Kong Yaonian, "It seems I'm not needed here; may I leave now?"
Shen Feng headed straight for the door.
Li Zhenfa and the others thought Shen Feng was scared of being exposed as a fraud.
"Why the rush to leave, kid? Aren't you capable of bringing the dead back to life? We're waiting to be enlightened!" Shao Manhong said with a scornful laugh.
Shen Feng's step hesitated, then he turned and coldly looked at Shao Manhong, saying, "But there are no dead here, do you want me to kill you first and then bring you back to life?"
Shen Feng twisted his shoulders and casually picked up a rather large ornament in the hall, seemingly ready to smash it on Shao Manhong's head.
Seeing this, Shao Manhong stepped back two paces, "Scoundrel, you're a scoundrel. Besides reviving the dead, you can show us other medical skills."
"Why so afraid? I just thought this ornament looked quite nice." Shen Feng put it back in its place. He was only teasing the old man a bit.
Then, he continued to walk step by step toward the door.
Li Zhenfa's face darkened as he said, "Old Kong, you see! The kid is feeling guilty, he doesn't dare to show us a thing or two in front of us."
Shen Feng, at the door, didn't turn back, but his voice carried in, "You want me to display my medical skills in front of you? I have to do what you say? Who do you think you are? Are you qualified?"
Kong Yaonian watched Shen Feng leave with swagger, nearly spitting out a mouthful of old blood in frustration. This little ancestor was someone he had gone to great lengths to invite, and these four elders were simply there to make trouble for him.
Anger constricted Li Zhenfa's nostrils, and he said, "Old Kong, revoke his qualification to compete immediately. Everything is clear now, don't get fooled by such a kid again in the future."
