The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 912: Chapter 912: Zhao Xuefeng Acting Strange

Lin Tian led Liou Qingcheng to the door of Zhao Xuefeng’s study.

The study is soundproof, so even Lin Tian’s ears couldn’t hear anything.

Knock knock~

Lin Tian knocked on the study door, and after a while, the soundproof wooden door was opened.

”Lin Tian?”

The person who opened the door was Zhao Qingtang. When she saw Lin Tian, her little mouth was slightly agape in surprise, but a smile soon appeared on her face.

Then, she noticed the tall beauty standing beside Lin Tian, someone who was not inferior to her in any way, and she laughed, ”Qingcheng, you’re here too.”

The last time Zhao Qingtang treated Lin Tian at the hospital, they had met before, so they were somewhat acquainted.

”Yeah.” Liou Qingcheng smiled generously, then lifted the red gift bag in her hand and said with a smile, ”I’m here to visit the teacher for the New Year.”

”Oh.” Zhao Qingtang responded, stepping back to make way for them and said, ”Please come in.”

Lin Tian didn’t stand on ceremony, smiled and nodded at Zhao Qingtang, then walked into the study.

”You little brat, you still remember to come see me.” Zhao Xuefeng raised an eyebrow, saying to Lin Tian with a hint of annoyance.

Lin Tian quickly replied with a smile, ”You’re my teacher, of course, I have to think of you.”

”Hmph, cut the nonsense, where have you been having fun lately?”

”When do I have time for fun? Just dealing with some small matters.” Lin Tian smiled and asked, ”How’s your health recently?”

Zhao Xuefeng’s expression turned serious, and he said, ”You’re studying medicine, check for yourself.”

”Alright.”

Lin Tian answered with a smile, then began to look at Zhao Xuefeng, but ultimately said nothing.

”Why are you just standing there? If you have something to say, just say it.” Zhao Xuefeng said gently.

”Teacher, you’re in good health, but is something bothering you recently?” Lin Tian asked.

Actually, he didn’t even need to ask; even Liou Qingcheng could see it clearly.

What was Teacher Zhao Xuefeng like in the past? Polite and scholarly, even though his face was stern during teaching, he was still very kind.

Today’s Zhao Xuefeng was obviously in a bad mood, and his face said it all: Annoyed!

Sure enough, just like the teacher’s wife said. The atmosphere felt off.

”Yes, you’re right, my mood isn’t great.” After a pause, Zhao Xuefeng asked again, ”But do you know why I’m in a bad mood?”

”Uh...”

Lin Tian’s face froze for a moment, to be honest, he truly didn’t know.

I can see through things, but I can’t read minds.

”Is it because of the virus from Sakula Country?” Lin Tian asked.

”The virus issue can’t be rushed. After all, it took those people in Sakula Country quite some time to come up with this. Decoding it can’t be done in a short time.” Zhao Xuefeng shook his head, ”That’s just one of the reasons; do you know the second one?”

Lin Tian and Liou Qingcheng exchanged glances, both looking puzzled.

”Liu Mang.” Zhao Qingtang couldn’t stand it anymore and gave a small reminder.

”What rogue?”

”Not rogue! It’s Liu Mang, the former dean of the university.” Zhao Qingtang rolled her eyes in annoyance.

”Liu Mang?” Lin Tian repeated the name, and instantly remembered that guy, who was not disgraced and missing?

Lin Tian still looked puzzled and asked, ”What’s up with Liu Mang?...”

”Abroad.” Zhao Qingtang offered another keyword, but Lin Tian still didn’t quite understand.

Zhao Xuefeng waved his hand and said, ”Alright, alright, stop giving him hints. It’s clear he doesn’t know.”

”Hehe...” Lin Tian laughed awkwardly.

Zhao Xuefeng clasped his fingers together on the table and asked, ”Lin Tian, I’d like to know what you’ve been busy with recently. I know you’re skilled, even more so than me in medicine, but that’s not a reason for arrogance. You’re still a student, so you should focus on your studies.”

”Do you remember the rules I set before? If there are no important matters, missing a single one of my classes is not allowed. Look at you now, in one semester, you’ve attended only two classes.”

Zhao Xuefeng sighed deeply and said helplessly, ”All my rules have been broken by you!”

”Hehe...” Lin Tian laughed again. Besides laughing, he didn’t know what else to say. Should he claim he no longer needs teachings? That attitude would certainly make Zhao Xuefeng furious.

This old fellow dedicated his whole life to ancient medicine after all.

”Recently, I haven’t been neglecting my studies; I’ve been researching some medicine instead,” Lin Tian said.

”What kind of medicine?” This time, it was Zhao Xuefeng’s turn to look puzzled.

”Just some rare medicinal herbs, like the ones you saw at the last family auction.” Lin Tian said.

”Hiss~”

Zhao Xuefeng’s eyes suddenly widened, looking at Lin Tian in disbelief.

As a top figure in ancient medicine, Zhao Xuefeng not only holds a high position in the medical community but also is held in high regard among ancient martial arts clans.

Since ancient times, medicine and martial arts have gone hand in hand. The development of ancient martial arts cannot do without the support of medicine.

Western medicine doesn’t significantly contribute to ancient martial arts; it’s ancient medicine that’s crucial for the long-term development of ancient martial arts.

Thus, Zhao Xuefeng clearly understands just how precious those rare medicinal herbs are. Most people haven’t even heard of them, yet Lin Tian is researching them.

”Where are you studying this...” Zhao Xuefeng asked curiously.

”When you went to the auction last time, I was there too, sharing a box with you,” Lin Tian said with a grin.

”Sharing a box?” Zhao Xuefeng started to recall carefully. He only remembered enjoying a pleasant conversation with Mr. Zhang that day; he didn’t see Lin Tian.

”I was the one wearing a mask back then, so you didn’t recognize me. But Qingtang recognized me.” Lin Tian laughed.

”Ah? Who?”

Zhao Xuefeng started to have some impression, not because of anything else, but because the name was so familiarly memorable.

The last time they met, Zhao Xuefeng didn’t know much about this ’masked king,’ only knowing that Mr. Zhang held this person in high esteem and that they were a VIP at Luoyan Dock.

But Zhao Xuefeng never expected it to be his most prized student.

”How did you end up there? And becoming someone else?”

Lin Tian gave a wry smile, ”It’s a long story, but rest assured, teacher, I haven’t been neglecting my studies; learning is a lifelong endeavor.”

Zhao Xuefeng nodded with satisfaction, pleased with Lin Tian’s attitude.

”How’s your research going?” Zhao Xuefeng asked, ”I am actually quite interested in those herbs, but they’re so rare that I hardly have any opportunity.”

Lin Tian replied with a grin, ”I haven’t discovered much, as the medicinal properties have been almost completely explored by the people at Luoyan Dock. However, I do have some prescriptions that match them.”
