Xiao Yifeng left with a smile. He did so only because he didn’t want to accept Han Zixuan as a disciple. All his acupuncture skills originated from the Yin-Yang Forbidden Tome.
His old master had told him that the Yin-Yang Forbidden Tome could not be taught to outsiders, so naturally, he would not take on Han Zixuan.
With Han Zixuan’s perfect face and delicate figure in his mind, Xiao Yifeng felt a secret sense of regret.
"How did it go, Zixuan?"
Han Jianbin swiftly asked upon seeing Han Zixuan’s return, clearly aware of his granddaughter’s intentions. Of course, he too hoped that Xiao Yifeng would take on Han Zixuan.
He believed that with her medical talent, once she became the disciple of the genius Divine Doctor Xiao Yifeng, she would undoubtedly become a rising star in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in the future.
It would bring glory to himself as well. If it weren’t for his advanced age and his position as the chairman of the Tianhai Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, which made it hard for him to swallow his pride, he might have sought out Xiao Yifeng to become his disciple personally.
"Grandpa, that guy is nothing but a shameless rogue. I will not become his disciple!" Han Zixuan said coldly, her eyes filled with annoyance.
"What happened?" Han Jianbin was somewhat puzzled.
"It’s okay, Grandpa, don’t ask anymore. I won’t become that guy’s disciple!" Han Zixuan said directly.
"Zixuan, don’t let your emotions get the better of you. Isn’t your dream to become a master of traditional Chinese medicine and learn advanced acupuncture skills? Master Xiao is undoubtedly the perfect choice," he said.
"He is proficient in Eight Trigrams Acupuncture Technique, and just recently, he used it to make a patient with severe renal failure recover completely, with the organ functions rejuvenated by ten years."
"Such miraculous acupuncture skills might even rival those of Patriarch Hua, one of China’s top three national physicians and the chairman of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. Don’t you want to seize such a great opportunity?" Han Jianbin spoke incessantly while Han Zixuan’s brows furrowed upon hearing her grandfather’s words, her eyes showing a hint of hesitation.
"Regardless, Zixuan, you must seize this opportunity. As long as you can become the disciple of Master Xiao, you’ll definitely become a master of traditional Chinese medicine and fulfill your dream," Han Jianbin said solemnly and then left, leaving Han Zixuan standing there, her gaze flickering with indecision.
At this moment, Xiao Yifeng had left the city hospital when suddenly, he felt his stomach growl. Checking the time, it was almost one o’clock.
He hadn’t even had lunch, and having used a great deal of mental and physical energy on the Thirteen Needles of Divine Void earlier, he felt even hungrier and in urgent need of nourishment.
Just as Xiao Yifeng was about to get off and eat at a restaurant he saw, he suddenly caught sight of a familiar silhouette entering the establishment - it was Ye Yaxin’s secretary, Su Yan.
"What is this woman doing here?"
A trace of confusion crossed Xiao Yifeng’s eyes. Shouldn’t she be at the office at this time? Even if she was out for lunch, she wouldn’t come all this way from the office to eat.
With curiosity in his heart, Xiao Yifeng got out of the car and walked into the restaurant. However, a quick look around the hall did not reveal Su Yan’s presence. Xiao Yifeng activated his x-ray vision and quickly scanned the entire restaurant, soon finding Su Yan.
At that moment, Su Yan was in one of the restaurant’s private rooms, and there was another man with her.
Seeing the man with Su Yan, Xiao Yifeng’s eyes filled with surprise, because that man was none other than Yang Hao.
Behind Yang Hao stood two figures, precisely his followers Brother Gui and Du Quan, one radiating a cold aura, the other exuding a strong presence.
How could these two be together?
Xiao Yifeng’s mind was filled with questions. He immediately found a spot to sit down and used his x-ray vision to monitor the private room, listening to their conversation with crystal-clear clarity.
Inside the room, Yang Hao sat at a table drinking. Su Yan wore a gray business suit, high heels, and stood before him with an indifferent expression, looking somewhat respectful.
"How is the situation? Have they finished their tender document?"
Yang Hao spoke calmly.
"Not yet, but it is expected to be completed today or tomorrow. Moreover, the president seems very confident this time."
Su Yan opened her mouth to speak.
Yang Hao’s mouth curved into a mysterious smile and said, "Get their tender document as soon as possible and find out their exact bidding price!"
"That might be a bit difficult. The president always keeps the tender document with her. Even after work, she takes it straight home. Plus, I’m not in charge of the bidding this time, so it’s very difficult to get the document."
Su Yan’s expression slightly changed as she spoke.
"If you can’t get it, find a way. Remember, before the bidding conference begins, you must tell me the specific price Ye Corporation is bidding."
"It was our Yang Family who saved you and spent so much effort training you. You’d better not disappoint me, otherwise I can play with your perfect body whenever I want!"
Yang Hao’s eyes flashed a cold look at Su Yan, who shivered and nodded quickly.
"Please rest assured, Young Master, I will definitely get their bidding price," Su Yan said, her head lowered.
"That’s for the best. Now go and don’t raise any suspicions. Remember your mission."
Yang Hao said, and Su Yan bowed slightly and turned to leave.
"Young Master, aren’t you going to make a move on such a beautiful woman?" At this moment, Brother Gui spoke with a sinister tone.
"Of course I won’t let her go, but right now she still has some value to use. Once she’s worthless, she’ll be one of my female servants!"
Yang Hao sneered, draining the glass of liquor in one gulp.
"This guy is ruthless!"
Xiao Yifeng, sitting outside, couldn’t help but curl his lips upon hearing Yang Hao’s words. He hadn’t expected the proud and beautiful Su Yan to be a spy the Yang Corporation sent to Ye Corporation.
Ye Yaxin obviously had no clue about this. The tactic was indeed clever. However, it was unfortunate that today Xiao Yifeng had stumbled upon it.
Watching Su Yan leave the restaurant, Xiao Yifeng’s lips curled into a smile that was elusive and incomprehensible.
"Du Wenxing, can you just stop following me!"
Suddenly, a woman’s voice came from within the restaurant. Qin Wanting walked in wearing a long dress with an annoyed look on her face, followed by Du Wenxing.
"Wanting, isn’t it just the right time for dinner? Let me treat you. But this place is too low-class. How about I take you to a five-star hotel instead, or to Tianxiang Restaurant? I hear their dishes are quite good."
Du Wenxing followed Qin Wanting, continuously speaking, with an unabashedly shameless demeanor.
