”Ye Qiu, I want to challenge you!”
Suddenly, a voice resounded throughout the audience.
Everyone turned around and saw a short old man in a Taoist robe with a goatee standing in the crowd.
He looked ordinary.
Very common.
”Who is this old man?”
”He actually wants to challenge Doctor Ye. Is his brain kicked by a donkey?”
”Why doesn’t he piss and take a look at himself? He is so ugly and still wants to challenge Doctor Ye. Isn’t this an insult to Doctor Ye?”
”Get out!”
Everyone thought that this old man was grandstanding.
As if not hearing the curses around, the old man stood still and looked at Ye Qiu on the stage with a calm expression. He said again, “Ye Qiu, I want to challenge you.”
The audience was furious.
”Damn it, why don’t you get out? Do you want to be beaten?”
”Get out immediately, or I will do it.”
”Where are the security guards? Quickly drive this guy who is disrupting the order out!”
“……”
Ye Qiu took a look at the short old man and found that the latter didn’t seem to be joking. He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and then asked politely, “Sir, what should I call you?”
The short old man said proudly, “I am Xu Liu!”
Xu Liu?
Is he the Xu Liu who is the head of the four national medical saints?
Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, quickly walked down from the stage, came to Xu Liu and bowed, saying, “Junior Ye Qiu has met senior.”
”Hahaha, no need to be so polite.” Xu Liu laughed heartily.
There was another burst of discussion all around:
”Who is Xu Liu?”
”I haven’t heard of him before.”
”It seems that he has some background. Otherwise, Doctor Ye wouldn’t perform such a big ceremony?”
”Just now, I heard Doctor Ye call him senior. Could this old man also be a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?”
Just when everyone was puzzled, Ye Qiu said loudly, “Everyone, please be quiet for a moment.”
”Next, I would like to solemnly introduce the senior beside me to you all.”
”I believe that few people present have heard of the name of Senior Xu, but as long as I introduce it, you will know how powerful Senior Xu Liu is.”
”Everyone should have heard of the Four Great National Medical Sages, right?”
Everyone nodded one after another.
”Then do you know who the four National Medical Sages are?” Ye Qiu asked again.
”They are Zhang Jiuling, Li Chunfeng, and Nie Xueliang.” A middle-aged man answered loudly.
Ye Qiu smiled and asked, “You only said three. What about the other one?”
The middle-aged man didn’t speak because he didn’t know.
At this time, an audience member asked, “Doctor Ye, who is the other National Medical Sage?”
Ye Qiu said, “The other National Medical Sage is far away in the sky and close at hand.”
Suddenly, the eyes of all the people fell on Xu Liu.
Is this old man a master of traditional Chinese medicine?
He doesn’t look like it!
Ye Qiu said solemnly: “Senior Xu Liu is the head of the current four masters of traditional Chinese medicine. His medical skills are very superb, but he is low-key and few people know about it.”
”Senior Xu, you just said that you want to challenge me. Are you kidding?”
Unexpectedly, Xu Liu shook his head.
”I have lived in seclusion in Laoshan for ten years and ignored worldly affairs. This time I came out of the mountain specifically for you.”
”I have been practicing medicine for most of my life, and this is the first time I have seen such an excellent junior.”
”Ye Qiu, please accept my challenge!”
After Xu Liu finished speaking, he clasped his fists with both hands and bowed to Ye Qiu.
”Senior, don’t bow. If you do this, you want to make the younger generation lose their lifespan!” Ye Qiu stopped Xu Liu and said with a bitter smile: “Senior, both you and I are traditional Chinese medicine. There is no need to distinguish between victory and defeat, right?”
Xu Liu raised his eyebrows: “What, do you look down on me?”
Ye Qiu hurriedly explained: “Senior, you misunderstood. The younger generation’s medical skills are not good and I am afraid that I am not the senior’s opponent.”
Xu Liu said: “If your medical skills are not good, wouldn’t all the traditional Chinese medicine in the world be useless?”
Ye Qiu: ”…”
”Cut the crap. Do you accept my challenge or not?” Xu Liu was a quick-tempered person and spoke very directly.
Ye Qiu said, “Senior, you became famous earlier than me and your medical skills are better than mine. I definitely can’t be your opponent. I don’t think there’s any need for a competition. How about I directly admit defeat? Do you think it’s okay?”
Hmph!
Xu Liu snorted heavily and said, “You admit defeat without even competing. Ye Qiu, do you look down on yourself or do you look down on me?”
I traveled thousands of miles to Jinling just to challenge you.
If you don’t accept my challenge, I will die in front of you right now.
Ye Qiu was speechless.
Why doesn’t this old guy play by the rules?
He had long heard from Zhang Jiuling and Li Chunfeng that Xu Liu had a strange temperament. Now that he saw it, it was indeed the case.
Seeing Xu Liu’s resolute expression, Ye Qiu thought that this battle was probably inevitable.
So.
Ye Qiu said, “Since senior insists on challenging me, then I will accept it.”
I just hope that when we compete, senior can show mercy and not make me lose too badly…
Ye Qiu, don’t be so phony in front of me.
Excessive modesty is just showing off.
I know your strength. It’s definitely not inferior to mine.
So, when we compete, I won’t show mercy. If you really respect me, then don’t show mercy to me either.
Don’t be afraid that I will lose. I’m not afraid of losing either.
Going all out is the greatest respect for me.
Xu Liu said, “Ye Qiu, if you defeat me, I promise to come out of seclusion and save lives and heal the wounded from now on, and contribute to the rejuvenation of traditional Chinese medicine.”
”If you lose, then I will continue to live in seclusion and ignore worldly affairs.”
”Whether you can make me come out of seclusion depends on your ability.”
Ye Qiu asked, “Senior, when do you think it is appropriate to have the competition?”
”It’s better to take the day than to choose the day. Let’s do it now!” After Xu Liu finished speaking, he swaggered onto the stage.
Ye Qiu had no choice but to follow Xu Liu onto the stage.
The first row of the guest seats.
The three national medical masters were all whispering.
”What is Xu Liu up to?” Li Chunfeng said, “I went to Laoshan to ask him to come out of seclusion a few days ago to deal with Li Zhengxi together, but this old thing didn’t give me any face at all. Why is he challenging Ye Qiu now?”
Nie Xueliang said, “Could it be that after seeing Ye Qiu’s medical skills, Xu Liu wants to compete with Ye Qiu?”
Zhang Jiuling took a look at Xu Liu and said, “Xu Liu has lived in seclusion for many years and has long lost his competitive heart. I suspect that his purpose is the same as ours.”
”Old Zhang, you mean Xu Liu he…”
Before Nie Xueliang could finish speaking, Zhang Jiuling nodded.
Li Chunfeng was so angry that he cursed, “This old thing Xu Liu really knows how to steal the limelight. I’m so angry.”
Nie Xueliang said, “Old Zhang, Old Li, we can’t wait any longer. If we wait any longer, the limelight will be stolen by Xu Liu alone.”
Li Chunfeng then said, “We really can’t wait any longer. Lao Zhang, say something!”
Zhang Jiuling said, “Proceed according to the plan.”
Immediately, the three national medical masters suddenly stood up and said in unison, “Ye Qiu, I want to challenge you!”
