Shock!
The chubby guy's smile froze on his face.
Almost in an instant, various ssages in the mobile chat group he was holding exploded with activity.
"My god, Zhong Yongxi is kneeling! And he's singing 'Conquest!'"
"Holy crap, what the hell is happening here?"
"Quick, look at the admiring look in Zhong Yongxi's eyes, damn, has he gone mad?"
While the chat group on the chubby guy's phone was buzzing with ssages, the crowd at the entrance of the dical University Affiliated hospital was staring intently at Zhong Yongxi.
After all, this place is a top-ranked hospital.
There were many patients who ca early for appointnts.
And since it was just the ti when work shifts began, countless doctors couldn't help but give sidelong glances.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, those two guys seem to be new to the general surgery departnt."
"Yeah, the one standing is called Shen Qiang, he's the fastest surgeon and quite famous, but who is that kneeling guy?"
As they were discussing this,
Director Liu and Geng Liang just happened to pass by.
Director Liu cleared his throat and pretended he hadn't seen anything, striding into the hospital.
Geng Liang, on the other hand, stood to one side with bright eyes and a face full of smiles.
But compared to him, Ding Yuhuan next to him had her beautiful eyes wide open, covering her mouth in shock as she looked at Zhong Yongxi.
However, at this mont, no matter how the people around felt or what they thought, Zhong Yongxi, who was kneeling on the ground and belting out 'Conquest,' still had a look of utter admiration in his eyes.
Back to the chat group on the chubby guy's phone.
It had already exploded.
"Damn fatty, didn't you say that Zhong Yongxi was going to humiliate Shen Qiang? I actually took it seriously and brought my junior sister over, told her to stop admiring Shen Qiang, and then this moron Zhong Yongxi kneels to Shen Qiang; my junior sister is all starry-eyed, almost licking the screen now, I'm pissed off, really want to give you a couple of resounding slaps!"
"For goodness' sake, I just told my master that the idiot called Shen Qiang got bullied by Zhong Yongxi, and then Zhong Yongxi kneels to him; my master just sneered, telling that's what happens when you try to play him."
"I was tricked to death by this damn fatty, I was just boasting to my junior brother that Shen Qiang didn't need to take any action, he was already done for, and just as I finished saying that... damn, what a face-losing flop."
At that mont, one of the group's admins sent a ssage: "It seems Zhong Yongxi lost and admitted defeat willingly, this Shen Qiang is really impressive, I think he qualifies to join our group."
"I second that motion."
" 1"
Following that, two other admins agreed.
The chat group imdiately quieted down.
After a full three seconds passed, various ssages started to flood back in.
"Defeating Zhong Yongxi proves he has so skills, but Zhong Yongxi really can't be considered a top expert. Winning against him doesn't prove he's that great."
"Exactly, all over a hundred people in our group co from dical families, what qualification does this Shen Qiang have to join our group and be considered our equal?"
"Hmm, makes sense, even if he has so skills, his lowly status would just drag down the quality of our group if we called him,"
Everyone was chattering away.
Suddenly, the group admin spoke, "Shut up, quiet down. Coming from a prominent Family doesn't an you're all impressive. If this Shen Qiang truly has the ability to discuss dical skills with , I'd be the first to welco him with open arms."
Hearing this, everyone in the group burst into laughter.
"Bro, stop kidding around. Your dical skill is so renowned, not only among the younger generation but also among the old masters of dicine. It's possible Shen Qiang might be just a smidgeon better than Zhong Yongxi, but if he were to compare himself with you, you're the moon, and he's at best a firefly."
"Obviously, our big bro's dical skill is unparalleled, past and future. He's like the sun, and at best, Shen Qiang is just a tiny bulb—still an overstatent."
"Right, of course. Compared to our big bro, Shen Qiang is at most fit to play the flute before him."
The admin sent a prideful emoji and said, "Being invincible is so lonely. I do look forward to seeing if he can match , but from the looks of it, he's not even at the Nascent Soul Stage, so clearly, he doesn't qualify. You guys have fun, I'm off to practice alchemy."
As soon as the admin left, the group beca even livelier, "The admin is so aweso, being able to practice alchemy ans his cultivation has already reached the Nascent Soul Stage."
"No kidding, only those above Nascent Soul Stage can practice alchemy, it's basic knowledge in the Cultivation World. If you can't even guess the admin's cultivation level, you're a fool."
"Shen Qiang is just at Foundation Establishnt, an old man already, with any of the admin's elixir pills he would have no chance, right? So, it's true, he really is only fit to play the flute before the admin."
"Hahaha..."
The mbers of the fatty's phone group were all chuckling and guffawing.
At that mont, Zhong Yongxi, having just finished singing, closed his mouth.
The irritated fatty's face turned sour as he bellowed, "Zhong Yongxi, aren't you ashad? You were so confident before, beating your chest and assuring that you could beat Shen Qiang with your eyes closed, and now what? Kneeling down to him? Even if you lost, you shouldn't be doing sothing so humiliating!"
Ding Yuhuan smiled with eyes curving.
Geng Liang, with piercing eyes, comnted, "A gentleman's word is his bond, owning up to it is not bad at all."
And at that mont, Zhong Yongxi, still kneeling and not getting up, admired Shen Qiang with a worshipful look, "Ancestor-Master, did you enjoy my singing? If not, I can sing it again for you."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuhuan shook with laughter.
Shen Qiang was a bit confused, "Don't climb up the family tree, I'm not your Ancestor-Master."
Zhong Yongxi's eyes sparkled, "Shen Qiang, you really are my Ancestor-Master."
These words amused Shen Qiang.
But before Shen Qiang could speak, Zhong Jixiang, the elder of the Zhong Family, ca over with the person in charge of the Zhong Family dical Hall, holding a scroll that seed to be an old family record. He looked at Shen Qiang excitedly, "Ancestor-Master Shen Qiang, Jixiang studied our family tree all night and finally found evidence of your connection with the Zhong Family."
"Look, the nineteenth successor of the Zhong Family dical Hall, one son, one daughter, accepted three disciples of different surnas, with the principal disciple nad Shen Shizhang, who was then wed to our ancestor's daughter."
"The Shen Family nas go like this, in order of generation: grand and promising, vast and shining, illustrious and evident, golden and fragrant, embodying benevolence and harmony. Shen Shizhang is the eighth branch. According to our line, your great-grandfather's na was Shen Zhenguang, your grandfather Shen Jiasheng, your father Shen Shengxiang."
"You should have been nad Shen Riqiang, but probably due to new era thinking, your parents abandoned the family's naming tradition. Still, a simple deduction shows that you're of my father's generation, my Ancestor-Master and also a distant cousin."
"So Yongxi is right to call you Ancestor-Master!"
"Ancestor-Master, Yongxi kowtows to you."
Shen Qiang, stunned by Zhong Jixiang's words and looking at Zhong Yongxi's kowtowing, was speechless for a good ten seconds before turning to leave, "Cut the nonsense, don't call Ancestor-Master, I don't recognize a disciple like you."
Hearing this, Zhong Yongxi, far from feeling ashad, excitedly said, "Ancestor-Master, you may not recognize , but I acknowledge you."
Such behavior made Zhong Jixiang, watching Shen Qiang's retreating figure, nod in approval, "The child is teachable. Clearly your Ancestor-Master can't accept the truth for the ti being, but that's okay, Yongxi. You must use your actions to move him. After all, if we trace back twenty generations, we're related."
