Capítulo 1312: Chapter 1346: Traditional Medicine King Hall Competition

“Hahaha… It seems Mr. Lin not only has a sense of humor but also such a broad heart. It turns out I’m still inferior to you in this aspect, Mr. Lin,” Wang Chongyang said.

“Not at all, Uncle Wang. You’re known as the Ghost Hand Needle King, you see things much clearer than I do,” Lin Zifeng replied with a chuckle.

In his view, Wang Chongyang wasn’t a bad person, just too pretentious.

The other night, Lin Zifeng showed a bit of his skills, and now Wang Chongyang couldn’t wait to treat him as a distinguished guest.

“By the way, what do you think about that proposal just now, Mr. Lin?” Wang Chongyang reassessed Lin Zifeng, naturally trying to read his thoughts from the subtleties of his facial features.

“To be honest, Uncle Wang, I’m rather indifferent to it; I’m afraid I’m not capable of handling such a grand scene. At least for now, I don’t have the capital,” Lin Zifeng said earnestly.

Today, Wang Chongyang invited Lin Zifeng out with the intention of promoting his Chinese medical skills at the upcoming Chinese Medicine Conference in Dragon City.

Participating under the name of the Divine Needle King could be viewed positively as “the famous stepping in,” or negatively as “putting up a front.”

The martial arts world has four great Chinese Medicine families located in Zhonghai, Dragon City, and Jiangzhou City, the three major cities.

Especially in Dragon City, there are two super Chinese Medicine families that have reportedly been around for many years.

Among them, Wang Chongyang’s Divine Needle King family is the weakest. After all, modern needle treatments can’t compare to the simplicity of taking two doses of medicine.

Prescribe a medicine, use a machine to brew it, put it in a simple packaging bag, and take it home to drink.

No matter how good your needles are, you still have to poke around on someone’s body. For the faint-hearted, seeing their body turned into a pin cushion is already shocking.

Who knows how much risk a single needle carries?

Soon, the four major Chinese Medicine families will gather at the Medicine King Hall in Dragon City for a competition, which also serves as mutual learning. For Wang Chongyang, this has been a headache. In the past, their Divine Needle King family’s performance in the Medicine King Hall competition was humiliating, and with each loss, their signboard fell in reputation, leading to a natural decline in fame over time.

Previously, many retired officials from the State Council favored visiting their Divine Needle King, but now?

They naturally choose other places first.

Health is the source of the best life, isn’t it?

Wang Chongyang hoped that Lin Zifeng would attend as the Divine Needle King to restore some prestige to their signboard.

However, Lin Zifeng did not want to get involved in this mess, as the clairvoyance healing technique must not be frequently exposed.

It’s like a magic trick; people watch the first time out of curiosity, and the second time with the aim of debunking it.

“It seems Mr. Lin is too modest. It’s almost unheard of for someone so young to possess such miraculous medical skills!”

Wang Chongyang was enthusiastically flattering Lin Zifeng.

He didn’t dare ask what Lin Zifeng’s medical skill specifically was because he feared Zifeng’s resentment.

“Uncle Wang, let’s be straightforward. Your roundabout way just makes me feel ashamed,” Lin Zifeng said.

Lin Zifeng quietly sipped his tea, enjoying the ultimate aroma of Tieguanyin. And indeed,

Tieguanyin has a rich flavor, a light fragrance like jasmine. As you swallow, it feels like a refreshing sweet dew washing over you.

No wonder so many people enjoy indulging in Tieguanyin.

“Mr. Lin, I’ve laid it out so clearly. I think with your wisdom, you can understand my intentions.” Wang Chongyang was genuinely embarrassed this time.

“Uncle Wang, your words are flattering, but even some things are beyond my abilities. I’m afraid my third-rate skills don’t qualify for the Medicine King Hall,” Lin Zifeng tried to reject politely.

Damn, the Medicine King Hall? What do you take me for, a puppet to call on at will?

The power of clairvoyance healing stems from the ability unlocked by the Magic Bracelet.

If some ruthless individuals discover this, I’ll be in big trouble.

Damn Wang Xiaomin, can’t you persuade your father instead of encouraging this nonsense? If I had known, I wouldn’t have saved you.

Though Lin Zifeng’s face showed no emotion, he inwardly categorized Wang Xiaomin as extremely dangerous.

“Mr. Lin, please accept my father’s request, and I’ll owe you a favor,” Wang Xiaomin pleaded with sincere eyebrows furrowed.

Acting as if she was someone important.

“A favor? Haha.” Lin Zifeng laughed. That kind of favor isn’t worth it.

Treating me as if I were some disposable tool, once the deed is done, you show off, and I’m made to feel like currency, exposed to everyone’s gaze.

After careful consideration, Lin Zifeng decided he couldn’t agree to Wang Chongyang’s request, opting for the safest approach.

“Sorry, thank you Uncle Wang and Miss Wang for your hospitality, but I have other matters to attend to. I’ll be leaving for now.” With that, Lin Zifeng stood up briskly.

“Mr. Lin…”

Wang Chongyang was anxious.

“Uncle Wang, let’s not discuss this anymore. I’m afraid I can’t help you with this. I think it’s best to seek someone else,” Lin Zifeng said, picking up his suit jacket and turning to leave.

Seeing Lin Zifeng depart, Wang Chongyang looked disheartened, hesitant to call him back.

But just at that moment, Lin Zifeng had taken only two steps before turning back.

Suddenly, Wang Chongyang and Wang Xiaomin were overjoyed.

“Heh, thanks for the tea, Uncle Wang. It was quite enjoyable. There’s still some left; I better not waste it,” Lin Zifeng said with a grin, walking up to Wang Chongyang, whose smile had turned to a scowl, picking up the half-finished cup of Tieguanyin, downing it in one go, and then leaving without a backward glance…

“…”

Wang and daughter exchanged glances, stunned by this unpredictable character.

…

On leaving the teahouse, Lin Zifeng received a call from Zhang Mengjie; Monet Yun unexpectedly left the Nantian Gang headquarters.

Before leaving, she left a message suggesting that she would lead the experts from the Jiapu and Iga families into a trap, allowing the Nantian Gang to capture them all and let her accomplish something for the gang.

For such a cunning woman, Lin Zifeng was also quite troubled. Who would have thought he had already entangled himself with her?

Now it’s difficult to sever ties.

Monet Yun’s betrayal of Jiapu to join the Nantian Gang in Zhonghai was deemed too heartless, earning her disdain.

Keeping her felt too much like favoritism.

Therefore, being the smart woman she was, Monet Yun figured her only move was to achieve merits for the Nantian Gang herself so they would truly accept her.
