Chapter 473: Kid, Stop Impersonating the Divine Doctor

Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Kid, Stop Impersonating the Divine Doctor

Cheng Yuan said with a serious expression, "Senior Sister, I’m not kidding! I’m really going to compete with the Han Medical Needle Saint. If you want to watch, I can arrange an invitation for you."

As he spoke, Cheng Yuan dialed Divine Doctor Xue’s number right in front of He Zhixuan.

The call connected quickly, and Divine Doctor Xue’s incredibly respectful voice came through the line. "Divine Doctor Cheng, what are your instructions?"

"My senior sister would like to watch tomorrow’s competition. She’ll need an invitation."

"Absolutely, Divine Doctor Cheng! No problem at all. May I have your senior sister’s name and address? I’ll have someone deliver the invitation at once!"

Cheng Yuan turned his head and asked with a smile, "Senior Sister, my friend is asking for your address. He’ll have the invitation sent over tonight."

He Zhixuan rolled her eyes in cute exasperation. ’Give him an inch and he’ll take a mile!’

’He’s really putting on an act now!’

"I’m He Zhixuan, and I live at Villa 17, Hyde Court."

Hearing the name, Divine Doctor Xue paused for a moment. It seemed he had heard it somewhere before.

"Understood. I’ll have my assistant deliver the invitation right away!"

Divine Doctor Xue said his piece and promptly hung up.

He Zhixuan paid Divine Doctor Xue’s words no mind. In her view, he was just a shill Cheng Yuan had hired.

"Junior Brother Cheng Yuan, you just wanted to ask for my address, didn’t you? Why beat around the bush? If you were a bit more proactive, you might have been able to stay the night in my room."

Pfft...

Cheng Yuan nearly coughed up blood.

’When did Senior Sister get so bold?’

’It seems the matter of her marriage to that rich heir is really putting a lot of pressure on her.’

Thankfully, a staff member approached, saving Cheng Yuan from the awkward moment.

"Distinguished guests, business class may now begin boarding. Please follow me."

Led by the staff member, the group boarded the plane without a hitch.

Only after the business class passengers were seated did the economy class passengers begin to board.

Normally, business class is filled with either company executives or celebrities and influencers.

Today, however, the attire of the business class passengers was somewhat old-fashioned.

There were several middle-aged men in traditional long robes, as well as two young men in white coats who looked like the top talents from a renowned hospital.

Their seats were close to one another, and they were deep in a heated conversation.

One of the elders in a long robe was clearly a man of high standing, as the conversation revolved almost entirely around him.

"Divine Doctor Liang, you’ve competed against both Park Hao and Divine Doctor Jiang. You must have a good idea of their respective strengths, don’t you?"

Divine Doctor Liang gave an objective reply. "Under normal circumstances, Divine Doctor Jiang would have the upper hand. After all, he once studied under the previous Grand Elder of Medicine Valley! He and the current Valley Master are fellow disciples. But now that Divine Doctor Jiang has been in a car accident, he doesn’t stand a chance against Park Hao."

"That shameless Park Hao, taking advantage of someone’s predicament! How despicable! Couldn’t Divine Doctor Jiang request a postponement?"

Divine Doctor Liang shook his head lightly. "That’s not an option. People would say, ’If Divine Doctor Jiang can’t even manage his own health, what right does he have to be called a Divine Doctor?’"

"Can’t the Valley Master of Medicine Valley lend a hand? They’re fellow disciples! Or maybe the Sect Leader of the Celestial Pill Sect could intervene!"

"The Valley Master of Medicine Valley is in life-or-death seclusion, and the Sect Leader of the Celestial Pill Sect is attempting a breakthrough to the Four Patterns. Neither can leave seclusion for at least a month."

"Sigh... Is our Dragon Country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine doomed to fail this trial?"

"Damn it, this is infuriating! I really want to take out that old kimchi bastard!"

The corner of Divine Doctor Liang’s mouth curved upward as he said confidently, "Don’t panic! Divine Doctor Xue just told me that a Divine Doctor by the surname of Cheng has already agreed to step in and deal with Park Hao!"

The others exchanged blank looks.

"Is there a Divine Doctor with the surname Cheng among Dragon Country’s top physicians? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of one."

"I’ve never heard of a Divine Doctor Cheng either. Divine Doctor Liang, are you sure this person is up to the task? We can’t afford a humiliating loss that would bring shame upon all of us in Traditional Chinese Medicine."

Divine Doctor Liang smiled faintly. "I had similar doubts. But Divine Doctor Xue told me, in no uncertain terms, that this Divine Doctor Cheng’s medical skills are a thousand times greater than his own! He has even formally taken Divine Doctor Cheng as his master!"

Cheng Yuan rolled his eyes in annoyance. ’When did I ever agree to take him as my disciple? I said we could exchange pointers in the future. That Divine Doctor Xue really knows how to ride someone’s coattails.’

Everyone gasped.

"Divine Doctor Xue is one of the top five Divine Doctors in Dragon Country, and yet he reveres Divine Doctor Cheng so highly? This Divine Doctor Cheng must be incredibly skilled!"

Divine Doctor Liang’s expression turned serious. "Many masters are hidden in plain sight. Therefore, you must never underestimate anyone!"

"We’ve learned our lesson."

Listening to their discussion, He Zhixuan chuckled and said in a low voice, "What a coincidence. There really is a ’Divine Doctor Cheng’ going to compete with Park Hao!"

Cheng Yuan smiled. "Senior Sister, I already told you. I’m the Divine Doctor Cheng they’re talking about."

"Tch!~"

He Zhixuan rolled her eyes again. ’She’d seen Divine Doctor Xue a few times—he was a man in his fifties or sixties. His master would have to be at least seventy or eighty, right?’

’And Cheng Yuan is just a kid... Hah.’

Cheng Yuan hadn’t bothered to lower his voice, so Divine Doctor Liang and his companions heard him and were instantly displeased.

"Young man, you can eat the wrong food, but you can’t say the wrong thing! Divine Doctor Cheng is Divine Doctor Xue’s master, a figure akin to an old immortal! He’s not someone a junior like you can insult!"

"Kid, this is a life-or-death moment for Traditional Chinese Medicine in Dragon Country. You don’t have to contribute or help, but at least don’t make cynical remarks!"

The two doctors in white coats were even more blunt, scolding him coldly, "Kid, judging by your age, you probably haven’t even graduated from college yet, have you? Do you even have a medical license? How dare you impersonate Divine Doctor Cheng?"

Cheng Yuan wasn’t the least bit angry. He said calmly, "There’s no need for me to impersonate myself. I’m currently a fourth-year university student. As for the medical license, Divine Doctor Xue is already taking care of it for me. I’m not sure if it’s come through yet."

All of them rolled their eyes at the same time, no longer bothering to waste their breath on him.

’What rock did this clown crawl out from under?’

Even He Zhixuan couldn’t bear to listen anymore. She gently tugged on Cheng Yuan’s arm and whispered, "Okay, okay, I believe you’re Divine Doctor Cheng, alright? Just stop talking..."

Cheng Yuan shrugged, not bothering to explain. In any case, everything would be revealed at ten o’clock tomorrow morning.

Two hours later, the flight arrived at Gui City International Airport.

The group of doctors hurried off the plane, as if being seen with Cheng Yuan would tarnish their reputations.

He Zhixuan asked with a smile, "Cheng Yuan, have you booked a hotel? If not, I can arrange a place for you to stay!"

Cheng Yuan hadn’t, in fact, booked a hotel. However, he didn’t want to stay with He Zhixuan. If one thing led to another, it would create a huge problem.

Cheng Yuan immediately came up with a lie. "I’ve already booked a hotel. Thanks for the offer, Senior Sister."

He Zhixuan was about to press the issue when her phone suddenly rang.

He Zhixuan took out her phone and saw it was a call from her uncle. Her expression immediately soured.

But she didn’t dare ignore her uncle’s call. Her small clinic was on a property owned by the He Family. If she angered her uncle, he would absolutely kick her out on the street, leaving her with nowhere to go.

"Uncle, what did you need?"

"Zhixuan, Yuan Bin is here. You must be at the airport by now, right? Hurry home and be a good host to Yuan Bin!"

He Zhixuan knew perfectly well that if she went home today, she would be a lamb walking into a lion’s den.

He Zhixuan glanced at Cheng Yuan, then summoned her courage and said, "Uncle, I’m with my boyfriend. I won’t be coming home tonight."
