Chapter 60 A High and Mighty Person
Seeing Lord Qi stand up, the elders and stewards all fell silent, evidently, the authority of the Sect Master of the Divine Doctor Sect was quite substantial.
Lord Qi took strides forward, step by step, until he stood before Ye Feng, looking down at him with a sneer curving his lips, he coldly asked, "Luo Keque just now claimed you're the Peerless Divine Doctor, do you think you are?"
This statement was brimming with provocation!
Ye Feng's expression remained serene as he replied, "No, I am not."
When Lord Qi heard this, he laughed, but before the sound could escape his lips.
Ye Feng suddenly added, "Compared to you all, I should not be called the Peerless Divine Doctor, but rather, the Great Luo Divine Doctor!"
Whoosh...
The atmosphere instantly surged with agitation once again, as the complexions of the other stewards and elders changed drastically. They had long heard that this young man in the wheelchair was known as the Frenzied Son-in-Law of the Hong Family, and it seemed today's events proved it true.
Utterly audacious, to the point of no bounds!
Lord Qi's eyes narrowed further, and his brows furrowed deeper, anger rendering him momentarily at a loss for words.
The trusted steward scoffed, "You claim to be a divine doctor, but tell me, have you formally studied medicine and obtained a license to practice? I'm referring to one officially recognized, not some counterfeit bought from the streets."
Ye Feng shook his head, saying, "I haven't, nor do I have a license to practice medicine!"
"Ridiculous, truly the height of absurdity!"
The trusted steward laughed coldly, "You haven't even formally studied medicine, let alone have a license to practice, and yet you call yourself a divine doctor? Do you think we're three-year-old children? If you are a divine doctor, then wouldn't we all be Great Luo Divine Doctors, and Lord Qi could be declared the King of Divine Doctors!"
True to form as the Sect Master's confidant, he did not forget to flatter Lord Qi in the end.
Luo Keque said, "Mr. Ye might truly not possess a license to practice medicine, but..."
He was unable to finish his sentence as Lord Qi interjected with a cold huff, "Enough, no need to say more. Not having a license to practice medicine is preposterous enough as it is. Right now, we need to rush to the Provincial City in the Southern River Region, so there's no need to waste words here."
After finishing his statement, Lord Qi turned to Ye Feng and said, "As for so-called Divine Doctor Ye, I consider myself to be magnanimous, and given that you were invited by Luo Keque, I will not stoop to your level. You may leave."
Ye Feng's eyes slowly narrowed, ready to erupt.
Luo Keque hurriedly said, "Mr. Ye cannot leave; it took great effort to invite him here, and I was just about to invite him to accompany us to the Provincial City in the Southern River Region!"
"You want him to accompany us to the Provincial City, Luo Keque have you lost your mind?"
Lord Qi furiously said, "I just explained, I am magnanimous and won't trouble myself with someone ignorant of medical arts, but that doesn't mean others won't take issue, especially at the Divine Doctor Sect in the Provincial City. If they find out you invited an outsider without even a license to practice, what do you think their reaction will be?"
Standing his ground, Luo Keque argued, "I don't know what they'll think, nor do I care. All I know is that Mr. Ye is the Peerless Divine Doctor, and I must invite him!"
Lord Qi retorted coldly, "Are you really set on inviting him?"
"Absolutely!" Luo Keque was resolute.
Lord Qi replied, "Fine, since you insist on inviting him, I have a condition. This person can only be invited in your private capacity, not as a representative of the Jiangdu Divine Doctor Sect."
Lord Qi snorted, then added, "I must remind you, Luo Keque, that if the headquarters of the Divine Doctor Sect in the Provincial City finds out that you invited an unlicensed outsider, they will surely be furious. You'd better think this through!"
Luo Keque snorted back, "Mr. Ye is here strictly on my personal invitation, which has nothing to do with the Jiangdu Divine Doctor Sect. If the upper echelons of the sect in the Provincial City cast blame, I shall bear full responsibility!"
When Luo Keque said this, he was thinking that not even the higher-ups of the Provincial Divine Medical Sect would be able to use the Phoenix Returns to Heaven needle technique, let alone blame him for it.
Not to mention using it, they probably haven't even seen it in their lifetime!
"Luo Keque, you've done well. Let's wait and see what happens. Let's go!" Lord of Qi gestured grandly, giving Ye Feng a harsh glare before striding out of the hall.
Of course, had he not heard about Ye Feng's extraordinary background and the presence of a Great Grandmaster following him in the past few days, he would have chased the guests away without wasting words.
Lord of Qi led the way, diving into his car first, followed by Vice Sect Leader Liang Zhong and several confidants who got into the vehicle and then left the Divine Doctor Sect courtyard with a roar, heading straight for the Provincial City.
Luo Keque turned around and bowed, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Ye. I wanted to explain more about your medical techniques, but I was afraid of revealing too much; I didn't want to upset you, so I didn't mention it to them beforehand."
Ye Feng squinted at him, looking him up and down.
Luo Keque instantly tensed up, his heart in turmoil, struggling to grasp the situation.
"Mr. Ye..." Luo Keque asked tentatively.
"You're very smart!" Ye Feng said.
At this, Luo Keque's heart leaped with joy, but the next words from Ye Feng immediately dampened his spirits.
Ye Feng continued, "The reason I say you're smart is that you know how to take advantage of situations and how to cunningly lay traps for Lord of Qi. You pushed me forward, wanting to use me to eliminate Lord of Qi, to help you ascend to the position of Sect Master of the Jiangdu Divine Doctor Sect."
Sweat was streaming down Luo Keque's face, and his legs even began to shake as he stammered, "Mr. Ye..."
"Don't rush to explain!"
Ye Feng waved his hand to interrupt, never allowing interruptions when he was making a point. He continued, "When I say you are smart, I am not being sarcastic. However, you must understand that it is but a clever trick!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Luo Keque quickly asked, "Then may I ask, Mr. Ye, what is true wisdom?"
"True wisdom lies there..." Ye Feng said, pointing to the plaque hanging overhead.
Luo Keque looked up and glanced at it, his face showing puzzlement; clearly, he did not understand.
With a sigh, Ye Feng said, "I don't mind your trickery, but I want you to remember the four characters on that plaque, and you must know that the spirit of the Divine Doctor Sect is 'a doctor's kind heart.' As long as you have a kind heart, as long as you are willing to study and refine your medical skills, you shouldn't just aspire to be the minor Sect Master of the Jiangdu Divine Doctor Sect.
Even becoming the Sect Master of the Provincial Divine Medical Sect is not too far-fetched!"
"Even the position of Chief Sect Leader of the Imperial Divine Medical Sect is not out of the question!"
After saying this, Ye Feng pushed his wheelchair out of the hall, leaving Luo Keque standing there, stunned and alone.
Luo Keque was as still as a statue, but inside, he was shaken by enormous waves.
"Promised to let me be the Sect Master of the Provincial Divine Medical Sect, or even the Chief Sect Leader of the Imperial Divine Medical Sect? That's just too..."
Originally, he wanted to say that Ye Feng was being too arrogant, but it was clear that Ye Feng was not lying. That meant he held that kind of power!
"Heavens, what sort of powerful person have I allied myself with?"
Luo Keque shivered all over, but quickly cleared his head: "Of course, it's not without conditions. The prerequisite is that the medical skills be enough, and more importantly, one must be willing to 'hang the pot to help the world' and save lives!"
"A doctor's kind heart... I understand now, that is true wisdom and great intelligence!" Luo Keque sighed deeply and hurried to catch up.
