"Who dares!"
Yao Ke'er immediately stepped forward, blocking Bai Zihe.
She was not only an Immortal Doctor.
Her martial arts strength was also not weak, coupled with the Yao family's power... she wasn't afraid of these disciples from the Pill Tower at all.
"Yao Ke'er!"
The man who had been beaten earlier, his face filled with venom, said, "You should know, the Pill Tower cannot be insulted!"
"He dared to hit me, that is disrespecting the Pill Tower."
"If you want to protect him..."
"That means you are an enemy of our Pill Tower, have you thought it through?"
As the words fell, a chilling aura spread throughout the scene, clearly showing he had murderous intent towards Bai Zihe.
Yao Ke'er just sneered at him, "Ye Haochen, don't try to pressure me with the Pill Tower. If you want to bully my junior brother..."
"If you have the guts, come and try!"
Yao Ke'er's words were unwavering and confrontational.
Ye Haochen heard this and immediately became furious, preparing to charge forward with the other Pill Tower disciples.
"What's going on?"
Just then, a voice filled with authority arrived.
It was Fang Yongzheng.
Seeing the commotion, he immediately rushed over with his men.
"President Fang, it's like this..."
Yao Ke'er immediately explained the situation.
She was fair and impartial, with no exaggeration.
Fang Yongzheng, with a cold expression, looked at Ye Haochen and his group. "Is what Miss Yao said the truth?"
"Although she is telling the truth..."
Ye Haochen said with great displeasure, "but Bai Zihe hitting me is also an undeniable fact."
"He dared to hit me in broad daylight..."
"Enough!"
Fang Yongzheng didn't give Ye Haochen a chance to continue, coldly saying, "Since you provoked him first, you have no one to blame for being beaten."
"Remember, Bai Zihe is a distinguished guest of our Great Xia Medical Association."
"Insulting him..."
"is also provoking our Great Xia Medical Association!"
"You, take care of yourself!"
"Get out!"
Fang Yongzheng was, after all, the president of the Medical Association.
Ye Haochen, having been reprimanded by him, dared not retort.
However, this debt would naturally be chalked up to Bai Zihe.
"Let's go!"
Ye Haochen coldly swept Bai Zihe with a glance, his eyes filled with venom, and then left angrily with his companions.
But he wouldn't let this matter go.
Ye Haochen soon found the Grand Elder of the Pill Tower, Zheng Zhongtian!
"Grand Elder!"
"You must seek justice for us!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Ye Haochen wailed, deliberately showing him the bloodstains on his face. "We merely said a word about Yao Ke'er, and Bai Zihe next to her beat us!"
"Furthermore..."
"The president of the Medical Association also favors him, completely disregarding our Pill Tower!"
"He even said that provoking Bai Zihe is against the Medical Association..."
As Ye Haochen spoke.
Zheng Zhongtian's snow-white eyebrows rose, and a sharp glint flashed in his old eyes. "It seems Fang Yongzheng, that old man, has forgotten his pain now that he's healed."
"Haochen, lead the way."
"I will seek justice for you."
"Bullying a junior of my Pill Tower... I will make him pay the price!"
Ye Haochen rejoiced inwardly and immediately stepped forward to lead the way.
On the other side.
Fang Yongzheng was introducing some activities to Bai Zihe.
"Mr. Bai, this time..."
As he was speaking.
Ye Haochen, with Grand Elder Zheng Zhongtian and a large group of Pill Tower people, blocked them.
"Fang Yongzheng."
Zheng Zhongtian stood in front of Fang Yongzheng, his old face etched with experience, unable to hide his arrogance. He questioned, "I heard that you ignored this child beating our Pill Tower disciples."
"And you protected him in every way, even threatening..."
"that provoking him is against your Medical Association. Is this true?"
Fang Yongzheng saw Ye Haochen and knew Zheng Zhongtian had come to his defense.
He immediately met Zheng Zhongtian's gaze and coldly replied, "So what if it is?"
Zheng Zhongtian immediately laughed.
His laughter was filled with deep contempt. "No wonder your Medical Association is declining day by day."
"With a president like you, who is ignorant and only knows how to flatter and wag his tail, it's difficult for you to rise!"
Fang Yongzheng was instantly enraged.
His eyes were fixed on Zheng Zhongtian, as if he could spew fire. "Old man Zheng Zhongtian, what are you? How dare you be so arrogant here?"
The two confronted each other.
Zheng Zhongtian sneered, "It seems you've forgotten the humiliation of being defeated by me years ago."
"Fine."
"Today, I will let you relive that memory!"
"Since you've decided to champion him, I have a method: you and I will compete in acupuncture. The loser must bow and apologize to the other's junior in front of everyone present today."
"Do you dare, or not?"
Before this.
Fang Yongzheng had been Zheng Zhongtian's defeated opponent, so he was confident.
Fang Yongzheng, precisely because he lost to him back then, knew shame and strove forward, entering seclusion for many years, just to break through and wash away the humiliation.
Now that Zheng Zhongtian proposed it, how could he refuse!
"It's a deal!"
"Good, good, good!"
Zheng Zhongtian smiled sinisterly upon seeing him accept the challenge.
The Pill Tower and the Medical Association, though both in the medical field, were rivals and never got along.
Now, with the Medical Grand Competition about to begin, if he could trample Fang Yongzheng underfoot and thoroughly slap the Medical Association in the face, it would undoubtedly elevate the Pill Tower's reputation to its peak!
The two quickly ascended a high platform.
This commotion immediately attracted everyone present.
The Medical Grand Competition had not yet begun.
The president of the Medical Association, Fang Yongzheng, and the Grand Elder of the Pill Tower, Zheng Zhongtian, engaging in a fight was undoubtedly a storm-worthy event.
"Swish!"
"Whoosh!"
The two almost simultaneously took out their innate silver needles.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Zheng Zhongtian initiated the attack first.
The silver needles scattered in the air, shining like countless stars, instantly creating a magnificent spectacle, grand and awe-inspiring, earning applause.
Fang Yongzheng did not back down.
The silver needles stood erect in the void, and under the manipulation of "a thousand turns and ten thousand twists," they formed a silver dragon, equally imposing and with an unstoppable momentum.
"Swoosh..."
"Swoosh, swoosh—"
The next moment, Zheng Zhongtian beckoned, and the silver needles in the air were drawn, connecting head to tail, constantly maneuvering and gathering momentum.
In an instant, it was like silver snakes dancing wildly.
Then, with a fierce pounce, it charged towards Fang Yongzheng's silver dragon.
Fang Yongzheng met the attack head-on.
Under the needle manipulation, the silver dragon also launched a fierce counterattack.
"Clang!"
"Clang, clang, clang..."
Instantly, crisp sounds echoed throughout the entire venue.
The crowd below held their breath, not daring to blink, staring intently at the needle manipulation competition, a rare sight in a hundred years!
However.
After a moment.
Fang Yongzheng's "Ever-Changing Silver Needles" had been somewhat broken last time by Bai Zihe. Although replacements were found, they ultimately couldn't withstand Zheng Zhongtian's years-honed innate silver needles, and he was directly defeated.
"Clang..."
The first silver needle fell to the ground.
Following that, it was a rout like a collapsing mountain. The silver dragon was utterly defeated.
All of Fang Yongzheng's silver needles were struck down by Zheng Zhongtian.
The scene instantly erupted in an uproar.
The president of the Medical Association, Fang Yongzheng, was defeated by the Grand Elder of the Pill Tower, Zheng Zhongtian!
Fang Yongzheng's face turned ashen, lost and dejected. As he was about to leave dejectedly, Zheng Zhongtian stopped him.
"Fang Yongzheng, are you muddle-headed?"
Zheng Zhongtian said with a playful smirk, his smile not reaching his eyes. "We agreed earlier that the loser must apologize to the other's junior!"
"Ye Haochen, come forward."
Ye Haochen immediately ascended the high platform.
Below, the crowd had already exploded.
Fang Yongzheng, after all, was the president of the Medical Association. To apologize to a junior in front of so many medical peers...
This was undoubtedly a disgrace.
An extreme disgrace.
It was not only Fang Yongzheng's disgrace.
It was also the disgrace of the entire Medical Association!
It was enough to make the Medical Association lose face forever and never be able to hold its head up again.
Fang Yongzheng stood there, his face extremely grim.
Apologize...
And bear the brand of shame forever.
Do not apologize...
And become a laughingstock of the entire medical world from then on!
A dilemma!
"Apologize!"
Zheng Zhongtian was waiting for this moment and spoke aggressively.
With his backing, Ye Haochen also said sarcastically, "The dignified president of the Great Xia Medical Association, surely wouldn't be a sore loser, would he?"
As these words came out.
Fang Yongzheng's expression turned even darker, as black as coal!
"President Fang, this matter started because of me, so let me resolve it."
At the crucial moment, Bai Zihe spoke to ease the situation for him and ascended the high platform.
Fang Yongzheng immediately felt like he had grasped a life-saving straw.
Bai Zihe's needle skills...
Were far superior to his!
Defeating a mere Zheng Zhongtian would be a piece of cake!
"You..."
Zheng Zhongtian looked at Bai Zihe with disdain, not even looking him in the eye. "A naive junior, what qualifications do you have to compete with me in needles?"
"Go back and drink more milk!"
As he said this, everyone burst into laughter.
However.
Fang Yongzheng announced loudly, "Zheng Zhongtian, Mr. Bai's needle skills are far superior to mine. If you can defeat him, let alone apologize, I will willingly kowtow and admit my mistake!"
These words undoubtedly surprised everyone again.
This young man...
What kind of ability did he possess to make Fang Yongzheng so confident?
Zheng Zhongtian only heard the word "kowtow" and immediately agreed, "Good, all fellow practitioners will bear witness."
"If I defeat this kid..."
"President Fang Yongzheng will kowtow and apologize to my Pill Tower junior, Ye Haochen!"
