I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 802: Chapter 801: Is He Really a Great Power?

Is the Great Power accepting disciples?

After the initial shock, the Qin Family was filled with immense joy and began to scheme. Although it was just a possibility, it was far more enticing than receiving guidance from a Great Power face-to-face!

It’s a Great Power, even a tiny possibility is a tremendous opportunity, and there’s no reason not to grasp it tightly!

The people who came with Qin Xinyu listened attentively to the discussions around them. Everyone was talking about this issue.

”The Great Power said they want to accept disciples. Could they be tricking us?”

”Impossible; that’s a Great Power. Who would joke with their reputation? But didn’t the Great Power say something about being beneath Qingyu, which means...”

”Exactly, we still need to become a subordinate family to Qingyu to seize this opportunity!”

”The chances are too slim...” some hesitated.

”No matter how small, we must strive!” someone else was resolute.

”That’s right, even becoming a subordinate family would be much better than the current situation. After all, having one opportunity means there could be a second. Even if this time doesn’t work out, it can be passed to the next generation.” Some had very grand ideals.

There were more and more of such discussions, and under the temptation, many began to waver.

Qin Xinyu glanced at Qin Youwei, only to find he appeared very calm without any worry about the reduced advantages, causing Qin Xinyu to frown, feeling something ominous.

This old fox Qin Youwei has new tricks!

Qin Xinyu looked over at Beisitian. She seemed unnoticed, her smile remained unchanged throughout, and he couldn’t fathom what was on her mind.

Qin Xinyu was about to remind Beisitian, but Qin Youwei had already started speaking with a grin.

”May I inquire about Mr. Qiao’s full name?” Qin Youwei asked.

Qiao Hongjie looked at Qin Youwei indifferently and said, ”Since you know it’s presumptuous, why ask?”

Qin Youwei: ”...” He twitched the corner of his mouth, wondering if he ever played by the rules.

”My name is Qiao Hongjie.” Qiao Hongjie replied, still giving an answer, knowing that the other party wouldn’t ask without reason.

Qin Youwei quickly showed a confused expression and asked, ”What school or sect is Mr. Qiao from?”

Qiao Hongjie’s organization was still informal and had not formed any mode of tradition or teaching, so strictly speaking, he just had a group of followers at his command.

”No school, no sect.” Qiao Hongjie replied.

Qin Xinyu’s brows knit tightly, having guessed Qin Youwei’s intent.

Sure enough, Qin Youwei’s expression became more puzzled, ”Then who was Mr. Qiao’s mentor?”

This question was quite rash. Normally, Qiao Hongjie wouldn’t answer, but now...

”My mentor is Zou Hanqing.” Qiao Hongjie appeared very easygoing, answering every question.

”Xinyu said Mr. Qiao is a Great Power, but I have never heard of your name, nor your mentor’s. Forgive my rudeness, but is Mr. Qiao truly a Great Power?” Qin Youwei asked.

Initially, he planned to guide others to question Qiao Hongjie, but upon seeing Qiao Hongjie answering everything so readily, real doubts arose in his heart. Which Great Power could answer these questions indifferently?

It seemed Qiao Hongjie was trying hard to prove himself as a Great Power!

Therefore, Qin Youwei immediately decided to stop guiding others to voice doubts and instead directly posed the questioning himself because he believed Qiao Hongjie might not be a Great Power at all.

As soon as Qin Youwei’s doubt arose, the Qin Family in the hall appeared dumbfounded, shooting more scrutinizing glances at Qiao Hongjie.

Indeed, they had not heard of any Great Power named Qiao Hongjie!

It’s not that they knew every Great Power; after all, some powerful families might hide their strength. However, the current trend was for stronger families to publicize their Great Powers.

Rarely did Great Powers remain obscure because the fame and status brought many benefits, and even they couldn’t resist such benefits.

”Additionally, Mr. De’s name also seems unheard of.” Qin Youwei didn’t spare Desan, who had been silent.

The Qin Family members’ eyes turned to the other Great Power invited by Qin Xinyu. Desan? Is that a real name? They truly hadn’t heard of any Great Power named Desan — the name was so plain and tasteless!

Qin Xinyu’s face was grim. He wouldn’t doubt Beisitian’s words, but the names of these two were indeed unknown, and they couldn’t prove it over such matters. Besides, even if they wanted to prove it, how should they?

Spiritual Talisman?

Who’s going to perform a Spiritual Talisman in front of so many people? It would mean revealing their tradition to outsiders, which would dishonor their ancestors.

Even having a few observe a Spiritual Talisman to prove their identity as Great Powers was impossible; such interrogation-like scenarios couldn’t be tolerated by these proud Great Powers.

Qin Xinyu never thought Qin Youwei would risk offending the Great Powers and resort to such insidious tactics, but it was working.

Desan sneered, ”It’s quite normal that you haven’t heard, considering your ignorance.”

Qin Youwei wasn’t angry, hiding his satisfaction, he looked at Uncle Weisong, who had previously spoken for Qin Xinyu, and asked, ”Uncle Weisong, have you heard of these two Great Powers’ names?”

Qin Weisong snorted inwardly. Desan had just called him ignorant, and now he was asked the same question — this kid must be avenging that earlier opportunity he gave Qin Xinyu. With such a narrow mind, he wasn’t inclined to support him.

In front of so many eyes, he couldn’t just make things up, so he replied, ”I have not heard of them.”

Qin Weisong indeed had great prestige among the older generation of the Qin Family. Hearing his words, the Qin Family immediately felt deceived. Qin Xinyu, no, Beisitian of the Qingyu School had actually brought two fake Great Powers to lure the Qin Family!

What an unheard-of bizarre event!

Qin Youwei’s goal was achieved, just waiting for others to fuel their emotions, when Qiao Hongjie spoke.

”Mr. De is right; competing for the Qin Family headship with such ignorance truly disappoints me. Or is it that my mentor the Ghost Doctor has been gone too long?” Qiao Hongjie spoke with a sigh.

Qin Weisong, sitting upright, was momentarily stunned, then his expression changed. ”Wait a minute, what did you just say, Ghost Doctor?! Ghost Doctor Zou Hanqing!”

No wonder he felt Zou Hanqing’s name seemed familiar earlier...

As Qin Weisong finished speaking, several of the Qin Family’s elders also changed their expressions. While not everyone knew Zou Hanqing, the name of the Ghost Doctor was widely known!
