353: Chapter 353 Sit Down and Chat 353: Chapter 353 Sit Down and Chat Tan Zhenting and Xiao Yifei clasped hands together.
After grasping Xiao Yifei’s hand, Tan Zhenting was once again surprised because he felt that Xiao Yifei’s hands were not unusual.
If there was any difference, it was only unexpectedly stable.
People who study martial arts can gain an understanding of others through simple contact.
Even if the understanding is not deep, they can still make a judgnt about the person.
He couldn’t help but narrow his eyes at Xiao Yifei again, thinking this ant that Xiao Yifei was not a martial arts practitioner.
Where then did his own strange feeling co from?
However, now was not the ti to think about these things.
Tan Zhenting, full of gratitude, said to Xiao Yifei, “I am well aware of Yunjing’s illness.
It’s not sothing that can be cured just by wanting to.
You must have put in a lot of effort!
You can say, you are Yunjing’s lifesaver!”
“Yunjing’s illness, ah, has been there since she was young, troubling us for a long ti.
We too have expended great effort and have never managed to cure it.
We’ve always been filled with worry about her condition, so I truly thank you, Doctor Xiao Yifei.
Otherwise, with so recent matters at ho, I would have certainly co to express my thanks in person!”
One could see that Tan Zhenting was indeed very concerned about Tan Yunjing, and similarly, he was filled with gratitude toward Xiao Yifei for curing Tan Yunjing’s illness.
When he talked about this matter, he even cast aside his previous suspicions of Xiao Yifei.
“Haha, Uncle Tan, there’s no need for that.
Yunjing is such a beautiful girl, being able to cure her, I too am very happy,” Xiao Yifei laughed, responding to Tan Zhenting’s words.
Xiao Yifei returned the sentint with a smile.
“Now that you are here today, we must take good care of you!”
Tan Zhenting laughed heartily and boisterously.
Tan Yunjing stood beside Xiao Yifei, her eyes curving into beautiful crescents as she gazed at him without stopping her laughter.
“Yunjing, go get that treasured Da Hong Pao of mine!”
With a wave of his hand, Tan Zhenting spoke with vigor to Tan Yunjing, “Today, Doctor Xiao Yifei is here.
Take out our family’s treasured tea for Doctor Xiao Yifei to enjoy!”
Obediently, Tan Yunjing responded and then went to fetch the treasured Da Hong Pao that Tan Zhenting had ntioned.
“Doctor Xiao Yifei, please have a seat, please have a seat.
The tea hasn’t arrived yet, so let’s have a chat first!”
Tan Zhenting gestured magnanimously for Xiao Yifei to sit next to the tea table, then he too took a seat.
As Xiao Yifei and Tan Zhenting were chatting, waiting for Tan Yunjing to return, Hong Fan entered the room with an urgent expression on his face.
The sturdy-bodied, sword-like-aura Hong Fan had a hint of anxiety on his face.
As soon as he saw Xiao Yifei, Hong Fan forced a smile and then whispered softly into Tan Zhenting’s ear, “The Cao Family has co again today.”
Tan Zhenting’s eyes suddenly widened when he heard Hong Jian’s words, and a powerful aura burst forth from him.
His tone was filled with repressed anger as he spoke, “What’s going on!
Why have they co again!
Weren’t they just here yesterday?
We just fought them off, how can they show up again today!”
When Hong Fan heard Tan Zhenting’s words, his face also revealed a hint of bitterness as he lowered his head and said, “I don’t know either, but based on their appearance this ti, it seems they have co with quite an aggressive stance.”
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhenting slamd his hand fiercely on the nearby tea table, suddenly standing up.
His eyes flashed with authority as he said to Hong Fan, “Aggressive stance!
What right do they have to be aggressive!
Wasn’t the trouble they caused yesterday enough?
What, did they get snubbed yesterday and, without taking a rest, decide to co back for retribution today?”
Seeing Tan Zhenting’s reaction, Hong Fan revealed a bitter smile and said, “Clan Leader, don’t be so angry.
Although they seem aggressive, we still don’t know what they’re here for today.
Maybe they’ve co to apologize and smooth things over.”
Tan Zhenting snorted coldly, speaking harshly, “The Cao Family would co to apologize?
I wouldn’t believe it, even if you killed .
Where are they now?
I want to see just what trickery the Cao Family is up to, who gave them the courage to keep challenging the Tan Family’s prestige ti and again.”
Hong Fan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and murmured, “They are already at the gate.”
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhenting’s eyes rounded even more.
He looked at Hong Fan, about to say sothing, but as he turned and saw Xiao Yifei sitting beside the tea table, he swallowed his words.
With a sweep of his sleeve, he declared, “Let’s go have a look!
I thought that the troublemaking Cao Family, having co yesterday, wouldn’t show up today.
I was planning to finally have so ti to properly host Doctor Xiao Yifei, but looking at the situation now, that seems impossible!”
Before leaving, Tan Zhenting squeezed out a smile toward Xiao Yifei, “Mr.
Xiao, please wait a mont.
I’ll handle this matter and will be right back.
When Yunjing returns, have her show you around the courtyard.”
Xiao Yifei smiled back at Tan Zhenting, “Uncle Tan, don’t worry, go handle your business.
After it’s taken care of, you can co back.
I’m not in a hurry.”
Tan Zhenting’s face showed a sowhat embarrassed expression.
He nodded at Xiao Yifei and then spun around to leave, his expression stern as he strode out the door, with Hong Fan closely following Tan Zhen.
After watching Tan Zhenting leave, a flicker of puzzlent crossed Xiao Yifei’s eyes.
However, it was only for a mont, and then he shook his head with a laugh, “It’s their family matter; best not to interfere unnecessarily.”
Xiao Yifei turned his gaze to the tea table above.
When he had sat beside the tea table with Tan Zhenting, he had already noticed the tea table.
Although Xiao Yifei was not very knowledgeable about such things, he imdiately recognized that the wood used to make the tea table was the valuable ebony, and it was likely century-old ebony at that.
In Xiao Yifei’s eyes, he could even see a mist of spiritual energy swirling around the century-old ebony tea table, a clear indication of its priceless value.
Xiao Yifei marveled at the extravagance of the wealthy while being shocked at the extraordinary nature of the tea table.
Furthermore, the fact that the very hardwood of ebony could be crafted into such a delicate tea table surely ant the work of a great master!
While Xiao Yifei was still secretly amazed by the value of the tea table, his eyes suddenly narrowed; he noticed a slight indentation where Tan Zhenting had slamd down in anger, a palm imprint on the surface of the tea table.
Xiao Yifei was taken aback, for one should not underestimate this shallow palm mark.
The hardness of century-old ebony is extrely high, comparable even to concrete.
Thus, to leave such a mark on concrete with a single palm strike speaks volus of the terrifying strength of the person who made it!
“Could it be that the martial arts experts in TV shows actually exist?”
Xiao Yifei was puzzled.
Although he had noticed the prominent temples of Tan Zhenting, a sign of one who practices martial arts, he had not expected Tan Zhenting to possess such formidable strength.
Xiao Yifei tilted his head, studying the century-old ebony tea table from all angles, his curiosity piqued because he had yet to pinpoint his own strength, only aware that it had substantially increased.
Inspired by Tan Zhenting’s action today, he too wanted to test his full strength with a palm strike to see what would beco of the ebony tea table.
After so deliberation, Xiao Yifei ultimately quelled his risky impulse, for the tea table was extrely valuable.
Besides, nobody goes to soone else’s house for the first ti and smashes their things!
