Volume 1, Chapter 65: Enemies Meeting Face to Face Ignite with Jealous Rage!

"I have a younger sister at home."

"I am not yet married, though there is indeed an engagement. To be honest, it's rather embarrassing—it's a matrilocal marriage."

Su Ming simply revealed this much without going into detail. Upon hearing this, Dongfang Xiaoxiao turned back in utter confusion and asked, "Mr. Su, what is a matrilocal marriage?"

Hearing the question, Su Ming awkwardly rubbed his nose, smiled wryly, and remained silent! "Child, don't go asking about everything."

Seeming to notice Su Ming's awkwardness, Dongfang Shaobai hurriedly uttered a reminder. Dongfang Xiaoxiao then stuck out her tongue and turned back around. The journey continued in silence. Half an hour later, the car arrived at the entrance of a luxurious manor located in the Second Ring Road.

Outside the massive iron gates, several luxury cars were already parked. As Dongfang Shaobai stepped out of his vehicle, he saw another Mercedes-Benz S-Class pull up, from which an elderly man with long hair and white eyebrows alighted. The moment the two met, the atmosphere instantly froze, as if invisible sparks were igniting between the two old men!

"Well, if it isn't Bozhilin's own Master Dongfang!"

"Could it be that Mr. Yuan has invited you here this time as well?"

The white-browed elder sneered, his gaze sweeping over Su Ming and the others standing beside Dongfang Shaobai.

"Qi Baimei, you really are like a lingering ghost. How is it that I run into you Huichuntang folks no matter where I go?!"

"This time, Elder Yuan invited us here to treat his illness!" Dongfang Shaobai replied with a very nonchalant tone, his words filled with undisguised hostility toward the white-browed elder.

"If your Bozhilin can come, why shouldn't our Huichuntang be here?"

"You've got to be kidding me. Isn't your Bozhilin just relying on your own half-baked Thirteen Needles of Heavenly Gang?!"

"Our Huichuntang, on the other hand, is an official department of the National Medical Association!"

At this, the white-browed elder spoke with an air of immense arrogance. Following closely behind him was a young man whose face was equally haughty, looking down on everyone with disdain!

"Then don't forget that I am the Vice President of the National Medical Association, stationed in Longzhou!"

"So what if it's half-baked? It's still far better than your massage techniques!"

Enemies meeting face-to-face saw red instantly. Dongfang Shaobai seemed to share a deep grudge with the other man, and within just a few exchanges, the atmosphere became heavily charged with gunpowder! Su Ming and the others watching from the side were quite astonished. These two venerable doctors were so advanced in age, yet they were bickering with such relentless animosity! It was clear their feud ran deep.

Especially upon hearing the mention of the National Medical Association, a thought stirred within Su Ming's heart. This was an organization he ought to join, as Dongfang Shaobai had previously mentioned that the internal medicinal herb channels of the National Medical Association were vast. Herbs that could not be found on the open market could easily be obtained through the association!

"Two divine doctors, you're finally here!"

Just as Qi Baimei was about to utter another sarcastic remark, a young man suddenly stepped out. The young man was dressed in casual attire, tall, exceedingly handsome, and radiated a unique temperament. However, his brows were perpetually furrowed with sorrow.

"My father has been waiting for a long time. His condition has worsened and he is in grave danger right now!"

"He could fall unconscious at any moment. In fact, he lost consciousness last night and only recovered slightly this morning. Elder Qi, Mr. Dongfang, please, I beg you both to save my father!"

As the young man spoke, he bowed deeply, expressing the utmost sincerity in his plea.

"Hmph, Mr. Long's condition is what matters most; I can't be bothered to bicker with you!"

"Young Master Long, lead me inside!"

With that, Qi Baimei let out a cold snort and said to the young man!

"Very well, please come inside, both divine doctors!"

Upon hearing this, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on Young Master Long's face. He had expended a tremendous amount of personal favors just to invite both divine doctors here simultaneously!

Following Young Master Long's invitation, Qi Baimei walked ahead.

"Respected Elder Dongfang, your trip here has been entirely in vain!"

"My teacher alone is more than enough to handle things here!"

At that moment, the young man following behind Qi Baimei suddenly turned around and sneered.

"Chen Tianlei, stop talking crap!"

"My grandfather's medical skills are a hundred times better than your teacher's!"

Hearing this, Dongfang Xiaoxiao instantly rushed forward in anger and rebuked him. However, the young man merely shook his head dismissively and turned away, oozing provocation. It made Dongfang Xiaoxiao stamp her feet with vexation!

"Mr. Su, please excuse this unseemly display!"

"We ran into my nemesis. Back then, he and I competed for the position of Vice President of the Ningzhou National Medical Association. He lost, which is why he has always harbored hostility toward me!" Dongfang Shaobai turned back to say to Su Ming.

"It's quite alright!"

"However, regarding this National Medical Association, if the opportunity arises, I hope Mr. Dongfang can help me secure an introduction!" Su Ming suddenly said.

"That's easily done. With Mr. Su's medical expertise, passing the evaluation will be a breeze!"

"When the time comes for grading, who knows, becoming a National Medical Minister might not even be out of the question!" Dongfang Shaobai nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

"You flatter me!"

"Shall we go inside as well?" Su Ming gestured and asked.

"Yes, let's go in. This Young Master Long holds a very important position; he is the president of the Longzhou Tiandi Bank!"

"His social status is exceptionally high."

"However, that old ghost Qi Baimei and I have treated Elder Long for many years, and we have only ever managed to suppress the illness without curing the root cause!"

"To be frank, I have no confidence today. I'm afraid Mr. Long is in grave danger this time!"

With that, Dongfang Shaobai took the lead. Su Ming and the others followed him inside. Passing through the manor, Su Ming could not help but marvel that the lifestyle of the wealthy was truly like paradise! The furnishings and architectural style of the manor were immensely luxurious. There were more than thirty gardeners alone, while the cleaning women and maids bustling about were all exceptionally young, around thirty years of age! The overall atmosphere felt as though one had stepped into a royal European castle.

Soon, Su Ming arrived at the second floor and saw both Qi Baimei and Dongfang Shaobai enter a bedroom. Peering through the doorway, Su Ming spotted an elderly man lying on the bed, breathing heavily and coughing frequently. His complexion was as pale as paper, devoid of any trace of blood. He looked extremely weak and haggard, appearing far worse off than someone suffering from a severe asthma attack.

Ten minutes later!

Qi Baimei had eased the elder's asthma through massage techniques, but Elder Long remained utterly feeble.

"Old ghost Dongfang, why don't you give it a try and administer the acupuncture for Mr. Long?!" Qi Baimei said at this point.

"Can't you handle it on your own?" Dongfang Shaobai let out a cold huff.

"Mr. Long's condition is complex. My massage can temporarily relieve his asthma—stop bickering now, the priority is to cure Mr. Long!"

"If I don't use massage to clear his qi channels first, do you honestly think you can accurately locate the acupoints for the needles?"

"Ignorant fool!" Qi Baimei retorted, his face icy cold.

Hearing this, Dongfang Shaobai did not argue further. After a massage, it was indeed much easier to locate the acupuncture points! However, what Qi Baimei did not know was that the person administering the acupuncture to Elder Long today would not be Dongfang Shaobai.

"Mr. Su, please go on in!"

"My grandfather's needle technique is inferior to yours!" Dongfang Xiaoxiao whispered.
