Chapter 194 – Competition (2) (比试（二）)
The people outside swiftly made a path for the extremely powerful and imposing person to walk through. When Jing Yun Zhao turned her head around to look, surprise flashed across her face.
The person who came was not a stranger. Indeed, it was the eccentric old man, Uncle Xu, along with his disciple, Uncle Xing Yuan, following behind him.
The moment the two appeared, one could clearly see that the doctors in the room had immediately adopted a very grave expression that also carried with it some points of respect.
Director Liu immediately rushed closer to them, his expression flattering and tone polite, “ Senior Xu, you actually came here personally? I really have to show my appreciation!”Director Liu was simultaneously happy and shocked because this Senior Xu was a very mysterious individual. Rumours say that he was not a local and had suddenly shown up in Hua Ning County, his conduct very lowkey. However, after his arrival, many bigshots in the medical industry especially welcomed him and his influence was reportedly very big. Moreover, his ability to manufacture medicine was unmatched; quite a few hospitals in the county have sought out his concocted medicine.
His grandfather had since long ago warned him not to ever offend this Senior Xu, otherwise, he would definitely be inviting trouble. He has always remembered those words.
This was why, every time this old man and his disciple came, he would decidedly find some time to accompany them. However, it was a pity that the old man’s temper was weird and was often standoffish towards him.
While he only thought to invite the old man’s disciple to put up a front, who knew that this Senior Xu would come along. This really was an unexpected surprise!
However, the old man behaved as if he didn’t hear Director Liu’s greeting and directly walked past. Giving Jing Yun Zhao a glance, he spoke, “You sure know how to make a scene.”
Jing Yun Zhao was helpless, “Uncle Xu, Uncle Xing Yuan, why are the both of you here?”
The moment this was said, Director Liu’s face instantly petrified. This rotten brat actually knows this surnamed Xu?“I heard there was a kid who didn’t have eyes provoking Director Liu and old me immediately thought of you. After coming to take a look, it turns out I was right,” Uncle Xu replied, completely without any politeness.
Director Liu swallowed his saliva.
When he called Xu Xing Yuan to invite them, he had mentioned Jing Yun Zhao and said that she was an opinionated brat who didn’t have eyes. Listening to Senior Xu, it seems he had overheard it?
Then his purpose in coming here was to join in the ruckus or to get justice for Jing Yun Zhao?
Jing Yun Zhao had long gotten used to Old Man Xu’s manner of speaking; the elderly was stubborn, but he had her in mind.
Gan Song Bai treated her like family, while this Old Man Xu was her respected teacher.
When she was absorbing the spirit jade, there would also occasionally be times where she did not understand something, and every time she opened her mouth to ask, she would always get an immediate answer from Old Man Xu. Of course, he also wouldn’t miss the chance to call her ‘stupid’.
She had always admired this old uncle because he was just like a walking Baidu Encyclopedia. As long as it involved medicinal herbs in some way, he would know every single minute thing about it. He had a thorough understanding of the methods of concoction, and his abilities were also outstanding. Not only this, Jing Yun Zhao even felt that he had considerable knowledge in medical skills. At least, his standards would not be poorer than Gan Song Bai, just that it was not his focus of study.
Currently, Old Man Xu’s facial expression was grave, unlike the other amiable-looking elderly doctors, and he had a unique aura that stood out from the masses.
“Aren’t you going to compete? Xing Yuan, get someone to bring over the things I prepared,” Old Man Xu coldly spoke.
At this moment, the entire room was silent.
Not long after, all sorts of herbs were positioned in the front, but they were all wrapped in oil paper.
Gan Song Bai who had been sitting at the side spectating suddenly frowned, having had a strange foreboding.
When this kid, Yun Zhao, looked stern, she looked quite similar to Senior Xu; the same aura and the same bearing, both cold as ice, so much so that it was uncanny. If Senior Xu was a local, he would even have suspected that Jing Yun Zhao was one of his grandchildren. (T/N: You might not be wrong!!! Always trust your first instincts!!!)
