At 8:30 in the morning, many distinguished individuals had already gathered inside the Zhong Family dical Hall.
There were a good twenty or so disciples, all looking spirited, dressed in neat Hanfu, responsible for entertaining the arriving guests.
In the hall, an elderly man with a proud expression set down his teacup and smiled at Yongxi's second uncle, "What an unprecedented event, not only are there dical families from within the province, but when you look all over Huaxia, there hasn't been such an occasion in the past ten years."
"Mr. Feng is right," Yongxi's second uncle said with a raised eyebrow and a smile. "There are a total of twenty-seven dical families in the province that can be considered peers. Besides the three families who are still on their way, everyone else has already arrived."
The elder, still with a proud look, nodded and said, "What's most important to a family is their reputation. That frivolous Shen Qiang, although he only slighted our Zhong Family's Little Plum Blossom Acupuncture Technique, I too take it personally. Such flippant youngsters, regardless of their school or sect, should not be tolerated."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Feng, once that Shen kid arrives, we'll make him regret it right away."
Hearing what Yongxi's second uncle said, the elder nodded confidently.
"I believe the Zhong Family has that capability."
anwhile, while the Zhong Family dical Hall was bustling with the reception of guests from all walks,
Shen Qiang, who had just finished breakfast with a puppet costu expert, was lying in his bedroom looking intently at Jin Chan, dressed in a sexy pink swimsuit.
Hovering in the air, her gaze shy, her figure enchanting, and coupled with that stunning face, she was more than just dazzling.
"It seems I should have her design a couple more provocative outfits for Jin Chan. Once her cultivation is high enough and she has ample True Qi to support it, she'll surely be able to grow as big as a normal person. Then, heh heh heh..."
As Shen Qiang pondered this, he instructed Jin Chan to try on another set of clothes.
Without the slightest sense of nervousness or rush.
An hour later, it was already 9:30.
The dical Hall of the Zhong Family was packed full of people.
The old man, frowning slightly, checked the ti and said with a furrowed brow, "Everyone has arrived, so why hasn't that Shen kid shown up yet? Don't tell he's chickened out and doesn't dare to co?"
One person sitting beside him frowned and said, "Yeah, I got up at five in the morning and took the expressway here. I arrived by eight, and it's already nine thirty. That kid hasn't shown his face yet."
"Exactly. Even though the competition is supposed to start at ten, it's already nine thirty. If you ask , the kid probably got scared and won't show. Otherwise, let's go too. Hanging around here is pointless," another person chid in.
At such words, Yongxi's second uncle beca anxious. In reality, the dical duel arranged between the Zhong Family dical Hall and Shen Qiang was not just about competing in acupuncture techniques; the Zhong Family dical Hall's greater intention was to establish Yongxi's image in the Cultivation World.
Usually, even if you're from a dical family, and you say, "Ah, soone from our house has co into their own. Please, co and appreciate their dical skill."
The other cultivators and dical families would just look at you with disdain and scoff, not giving it a second thought.
But a reputation battle for the honor of the dical family is different.
Reputation is what dical families value most.
Because this is a rather small circle, and with the rapid developnt of modern dicine, which is easy to learn, has uniform standards, and is directly effective, it has already taken away the majority of traditional dical halls' business.
What they now rely on for their livelihood are basically just the ancestral secret techniques and reputation.
So, when soone touches on this aspect, they band together for mutual support and solidarity.
In such a circumstance, Shen Qiang's mockery, coupled with his title of fastest surgeon, made the Zhong Family dical Hall see this as an excellent opportunity to show off. On one hand, they wanted to consolidate their position within the provincial circle of dical families.
On the other hand, they were eager to use this needle contest to give Yongxi Zhong an excellent opportunity to showcase himself, so that his peers within the province would be aware of his presence.
Therefore, Yongxi Zhong's uncle imdiately grew anxious and said, "Everyone, please don't rush, stay calm. I'll go and hurry him along right now."
Having said that, Yongxi Zhong's uncle quickly located Yongxi Zhong and said, "Quickly call that Shen Qiang. If this stepping stone doesn't show up, how can you demonstrate your prowess?"
Yongxi Zhong hastily made the call to Shen Qiang.
At this mont, Shen Qiang, who was looking at Jin Chan with eyes full of surprise and delight, was wearing a sexy, little cheongsam with high slits showcasing her long, white legs and blushing face, took the call with his eyes shining.
"Shen Qiang, where are you? I'm getting a bit annoyed waiting at the Zhong Family dical Clinic. You're not scared and chickening out, are you?"
"Turn around." With a keen gaze, Shen Qiang instructed Jin Chan, who moved bashfully, and then said indifferently, "It's still early. Are you so impatient to be crushed?"
Yongxi Zhong on the other end of the line beca impatient, "Big talk is easy. If you're not here by ten o'clock sharp, not only will you lose, but I will also have the family's experts punish you."
Shen Qiang laughed, "Yo, need to call your daddy for help after being beaten to tears? Just be patient, I'll be there."
"That..."
With a flick of his hand, Shen Qiang, with his bright eyes, hung up the phone and looked seriously at Jin Chan. "Rember, that set of lacy lingerie, swimsuit, and this cheongsam that reveals so much of your legs should only be worn in front of your master. You can't dress like this when there are other n around, understand?"
The bashful Jin Chan's eyes imdiately lit up.
"The master cares about !"
Thinking this, Jin Chan nodded excitedly and said, "Mhm, Jin Chan will definitely comply with Master's request!"
"Such a good girl!"
Shen Qiang's eyes crinkled with a smile.
He then checked the ti.
"Oh, it's nine forty now. It seems about ti to head out."
Eighteen minutes later, in the hall of the Zhong Family dical Clinic on the second ring road.
The many representatives of the dical families who had originally been sitting upright had beco sowhat disorderly.
"Stop pouring tea already. What ti is it now? That Shen kid hasn't even shown his face; I'm not waiting anymore. If he isn't here in two minutes, I'm leaving. I have a ton of stuff to take care of at ho."
"Exactly, the Zhong family didn't handle this very well. We thought it was starting at nine, only to find out after arriving that it's at ten. And now it's almost ten, and we haven't seen a soul. Let's go, this is over."
"No, no, wait, everyone, just a mont longer, that Shen kid is sure to co. He's probably just stuck in traffic and should be arriving shortly."
"Let it go; I reckon he doesn't dare to co. The Zhong Family dical Clinic has such a big reputation in Provincial City, it's normal for a rootless surgeon like him to be scared. Forget it, I'm leaving. Can't keep waiting like this indefinitely."
Seeing the situation, Yongxi Zhong was in a panic. He called Shen Qiang, and as soon as the call connected, he cursed furiously, "Shen Qiang, you coward, if you have the guts, then show up. If you're too scared, what were all those big words you said to earlier about?"
The mont the words left his mouth, Yongxi Zhong imdiately heard Shen Qiang's sowhat lazy voice not far away.
"Shut your trap, and when you talk to , you'd better watch your tone."
