“Ye Fei, don’t get too smug!”
“Today, you may have secured this spot, but I’m telling you, there are plenty of twists and turns ahead!”
Song Cheng gritted his teeth, clearly hating Ye Fei.
“A defeated opponent, what right do you have to speak of bravery!”
“Get out of my way!”
“Good dogs don’t block the path!”
Ye Fei’s face was cold, and he didn’t want to waste any more words with them.
“Fine, you’ve got guts, kid!”
Afterward, Song Cheng’s eyes, like those of a venomous snake, glared at Ye Fei several times before he turned and left.
Meanwhile, Ye Fei and He Jingyao had already bid farewell to the He family members.
The business van sped down the street.
Both occupants were drowsy inside the vehicle.
An hour later, the van finally arrived at their residence.
Five days later, it was time for the agreed-upon TCM Association exchange meeting.
Ye Fei had long forgotten about it, and it was only when Professor Zhou called him that he remembered.
After Ye Fei tidied himself up a bit, he took a special car to the TCM exchange meeting held in the suburbs.
The scale of this TCM exchange meeting was exceptionally grand.
When Ye Fei arrived, quite a few elderly gentlemen in Zhongshan suits were already gathered, drinking tea and chatting.
There were also many young people holding champagne glasses, engaging in conversations.
Ye Fei casually found a less crowded spot and waited for the exchange meeting to begin.
After all, Elder Jin had already declared that he would select one person at today’s exchange meeting to be his closed-door disciple.
Therefore, many of the younger generation were scrambling to get an invitation.
Gradually, more and more people attending the exchange meeting arrived.
Those who could attend this exchange meeting were all the cream of the crop and doyens of the TCM world in Jiangcheng and across the nation.
There were dozens of young people like Ye Fei.
Just as Ye Fei was enjoying his tea, a man around thirty years old, with slicked-back hair and a white shirt, arrived accompanied by a crowd and sat down next to Ye Fei.
“Young Master Qin, please have a seat!”
“Don’t worry, you will definitely be accepted as Elder Jin’s closed-door disciple!”
A fawning voice was heard not far from Ye Fei.
Ye Fei frowned, losing even the desire to drink tea.
“Hey, kid, move aside!”
“I want to sit in this spot!”
“You, a young man, don’t you understand respect for elders?”
“Get up quickly, don’t waste my time!”
The speaker was around forty-something, with a bean-sized mole on his right cheek, and was looking at Ye Fei with disdain.
Ye Fei snorted coldly and said word for word.
“This spot isn’t reserved for you, and I was here first!”
“What right do you have to ask me to leave?”
Ye Fei slammed the teacup onto the table with a bang.
“Hey, kid, don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!”
“If I tell you to get up, you get up!”
“I’m telling you, if you’re not up by the time I count to three, you’ll regret it!”
The man with the mole threatened directly.
As for Young Master Qin beside him, he remained silent, clearly very proud.
Ye Fei’s good mood was completely ruined by this inconsiderate man in front of him.
Just as he was about to stand up to teach the man a lesson, a surprised voice suddenly came from not far away.
“Master Ye, you’ve finally arrived!”
The speaker was Professor Zhou.
He had been searching the hall for a long time and had finally found Ye Fei’s whereabouts.
As for the man who had been bossy and shouting at Ye Fei, he also wore an expression of disbelief.
Even Young Master Qin beside him was dumbfounded.
“How is this possible!”
“Is he related to Professor Zhou?”
These two were naturally unwilling to believe what they were seeing.
“Master Ye, I apologize for not meeting you sooner, for not meeting you sooner!”
Professor Zhou said enthusiastically with a smile.
“It’s nothing, I just arrived here myself.”
Ye Fei yawned and replied.
“Master Ye, please come with me, Elder Jin is already waiting for you.”
“The other teachers also want to meet you, is that convenient for you?”
Professor Zhou asked.
“Let’s go, I might as well change my location.”
“Just now, an annoying fly was buzzing around my ears, and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to resist swatting it dead!”
Ye Fei stood up directly and said.
“Alright, this way, this way!”
Professor Zhou immediately pointed the way.
Then, the two walked straight ahead.
As for the two men still standing there, they wiped the cold sweat from their faces, wishing they could slap themselves for what they had just done.
Fortunately, Ye Fei didn’t hold it against them; otherwise, with Ye Fei’s influence, they would have gained nothing.
Inside the elegant and minimalist private room.
A circle of elders with white beards and flowery faces sat around.
“Elder Jin, is that young gentleman really as skilled as you say?”
“I’m having a bit of trouble believing it!”
One of the elders, dressed in a suit and tie, wearing very formal attire, spoke.
“Hearing is not as good as seeing, you’ll know when the time comes.”
“However, I must inform you in advance that young Mr. Ye has a bit of a temper, so you must think carefully before you speak.”
“I can tell you clearly that this young gentleman is the most skilled acupuncture master I have ever seen!”
“His master is the nationally renowned Qingyi Daoren!”
“Don’t underestimate him!”
As soon as Elder Jin finished speaking, the group of elders became instantly excited.
Qingyi Daoren!
He was actually the disciple of Qingyi Daoren!
Several of them had, in their youth, inadvertently received guidance from Qingyi Daoren.
Now, about to meet the disciple of Qingyi Daoren, how could they not be excited?
Before long, footsteps were heard from the corridor outside.
Everyone’s gaze turned towards the door.
What met their eyes was a young man who was perhaps too young.
As for Professor Zhou, he followed Ye Fei attentively behind him.
After Ye Fei entered, Professor Zhou immediately introduced him.
“This is the disciple of Qingyi Daoren, Ye Fei, Master Ye.”
Then he said to Ye Fei.
“Master Ye, these are all doyens of our TCM Association.”
“After learning about your profound acupuncture techniques and skill displayed when you treated that elderly gentleman before, they all wish to meet you and discuss with you.”
“May I ask if you would agree?”
Professor Zhou was not entirely sure if Ye Fei would agree.
Therefore, he was slightly apprehensive.
“You are most welcome.”
“For normal academic exchanges, I, as a young man, certainly welcome them.”
“I will give everyone one hour.”
“No exceptions after that.”
Ye Fei decided.
Then, everyone began to pose difficult questions to Ye Fei, which was, of course, their way of verifying Ye Fei’s true skill.
Ye Fei answered everyone’s questions without pause.
These difficult questions were actually problems that they had been unable to solve, and they were surprised that he could resolve everyone’s doubts in such a short period.
