Hearing Ning Fan's words, the man chuckled lightly and nodded, as if to say, "At least you have some self-awareness, kid."
Although he thought this, the man didn't say it outright. Instead, he revealed his purpose for coming, "God Doctor Ning, there's no need to be so modest. My name is Tang Xinyuan, from the Tang Clan of physicians. Today, I sought you out not for any other reason, but to witness and learn from your medical technique. When might you be available?"
Putting aside the discussion of medical skill for now, upon hearing the man's words, Ning Fan raised his head in surprise and asked, "You're from the Tang Clan?"
Seeing Ning Fan's expression, Tang Xinyuan became even prouder, tilting his head up again and said with a proud tone, "Yes, Tang Fanghua is my grandfather."
The man was very proud, and for good reason, the Tang Clan was one of the four great families of Chinese medicine in Huaxia, and Tang Fanghua was known as the 'Medical Saint'. In the world of Chinese medicine in Huaxia, he was absolutely a leading figure, a great master. And due to Tang Fanghua's influence, the power of the Tang Clan had been rising like the sun at midday over the years.
But so what? All these things that Tang Xinyuan took pride in were worth nothing to Ning Fan.
"Hmm, got it. So, can you move out of the way now?"
Tang Xinyuan across from him was slightly stunned, looking at Ning Fan with a puzzled expression. It didn't matter if ordinary people didn't know, but as a physician himself, how could he possibly remain so calm given the reputation of the Tang Clan and Tang Fanghua's prestige?
Tang Xinyuan's brow furrowed slightly in dissatisfaction, but he still stated his true purpose for coming, "I'll repeat what I said earlier. I have come to measure your medical skills against mine. God Doctor Ning, you have such a renowned name, and I believe your skills must be extraordinary. I just wonder how they compare to my Tang Clan's technique."
Instead of answering the question directly, Ning Fan asked, "How did you find me?"
"With God Doctor Ning's fame, finding you doesn't seem like a very difficult task," Tang Xinyuan said with a slight smirk, for with the Tang Clan's resources, locating a person was all too easy.
Ning Fan found it somewhat amusing. Was this guy brain-damaged or just an outright fool?
Indeed, the Tang Clan was powerful and Tang Fanghua had a significant reputation, but what did that have to do with you, Tang Xinyuan? Would anyone recognize you if you mentioned your name? Flaunting the Tang Clan's name to show off in front of me, isn't that just stupid?
Still, Ning Fan wasn't surprised that this guy could find him. The influence of the Tang Clan was vast, and finding a person was very simple for them. Of course, that was provided Ning Fan had no means to conceal himself; otherwise, it would be a joke for a mere Tang Clan to locate him.
Just then, Tang Xinyuan, who was standing by, seemed to suddenly remember something and waved towards the black business car parked behind him, calling out, "Xiaorou, come out."
Xiaorou? Ning Fan was momentarily taken aback, turning his head in surprise towards the direction of the business car. The car door opened, and a very pretty girl stepped out. She was beautiful and had a good figure, but unfortunately, the proud air on her face, much like Tang Xinyuan's, was something Ning Fan didn't like at all.
This girl was none other than Qian Xiaorou, the brief past acquaintance of Ning Fan, the daughter of Qian Nengde.
"What a coincidence, we meet again," Ning Fan said with a smile, his eyes squinting.
The expression on Qian Xiaorou's face changed slightly, and with a cold huff, she walked over. She still vividly remembered the incident when Ning Fan teased her, and this arrogant girl harbored a grudge against him to this day.
"You've misunderstood, I have no desire to see you," Qian Xiaorou said with a chilly laugh.
"How did you two come together?" Ning Fan asked curiously, looking at the two of them.
"The Qian Family and the Tang Clan have always had a good relationship, and we have always been good friends. Why can't we be together?" Qian Xiaorou assumed naturally.
Her thoughts were naturally not as deep as Ning Fan's. Ning Fan, sharp and perceptive, heard this statement and instantly associated it with many things.
According to Qian Xiaorou, the Qian Family and the Tang Clan had always had a good relationship, and the intimate benefits of two major families being so close were very significant; the Tang Clan naturally valued this relationship highly.
However, after Ning Fan appeared, the Qian Family seemed to begin leaning towards Ning Fan, intentionally or unintentionally, and this made Tang Xinyuan sense a crisis.
Tang Xinyuan wanted to see if Ning Fan was worthy, while Qian Xiaorou simply despised Ning Fan and wanted to recover the embarrassment from their last encounter. Thus, after Tang Xinyuan communicated with Qian Xiaorou, the two hit it off right away.
That's how the current situation arose.
In Qian Xiaorou's opinion, Tang Xinyuan's medical technique was definitely much stronger than Ning Fan's, and her purpose for coming was to have Tang Xinyuan humiliate Ning Fan with his superior medical expertise.
And Tang Xinyuan was indeed harboring this intention, to see if Ning Fan was worthy of the title 'Divine Doctor'.
But what these two didn't know was that, in Ning Fan's eyes, Tang Xinyuan's medical technique was nothing more than child's play. Tang Xinyuan daring to challenge him with such eagerness was, frankly, laughable.
"Well? I came here explicitly to compare medical techniques with you to see whose medical expertise is superior—yours or the Tang Clan's," said Tang Xinyuan, emphasizing his purpose for the visit since Ning Fan had not responded.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fan suddenly looked up at Tang Xinyuan and, after a few seconds of silence, he finally spoke, "Firstly, your trivial skills cannot represent the Tang Clan; secondly, I have not the slightest interest in comparing medical techniques with you, so, goodbye, no time for handshakes."
After speaking, Ning Fan actually walked around the corner past Tang Xinyuan. Tang Xinyuan wanted to stop Ning Fan, but as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he found that Ning Fan had already walked past him in the blink of an eye.
He was momentarily stunned, quickly turned around, and saw Ning Fan was about to enter the door. He shouted, "Are you scared? Even the formidable God Doctor Ning can feel fear?"
Goading tactics, often very effective, were unfortunately wasted on Ning Fan.
Ning Fan had no interest in even acknowledging him, let alone responding. He opened the door on his own, stepped into the villa, and then rudely slammed the door shut with a bang.
"Damn it!" Tang Xinyuan's expression darkened; this was the first time he had encountered someone who regarded him with such indifference, to the point where even goading was useless.
"What do we do now?" Qian Xiaorou's delicate brows also furrowed. They had come to embarrass Ning Fan, but it seemed to have no effect; Ning Fan simply did not play along, not even agreeing to respond.
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to make him agree," said Tang Xinyuan gloomily, glancing towards the villa and clenching his teeth.
Inside the villa, Ning Fan returned to his room. Having been soaked in Xu Rongfei's bathtub earlier, and though he was now dry, it still made him uncomfortable, so he decided to take a shower.
