Chapter 206 A Rare Thing in the World
Chapter 206 A Rare Thing in the World
The reprimand struck Nangong Xiaoya like a bolt from the blue.
She stood there stunned, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
She never imagined that Nangong Jing Shu would scold her because of a stranger she had just met, which severely damaged her pride, which had been pampered since childhood.
She turned her head, her eyes filled with intense emotion. "I wasn't talking nonsense; I was just trying to kindly remind you!"
"How old is he? What kind of lousy master could he be? I think he's more like a charlatan. If he can cure others, it's just a lucky break."
"Sister, you've seen so much and know so many people, how come you can't see through him?"
The more she talked, the more aggrieved she felt, and even her eyes turned red.
What did I do wrong?
Ultimately, it all boils down to his worry that his sister will be scammed!
I thought Nangong Jingshu would react at this point, but who knew that Nangong Jingshu's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water.
"Shut up!"
"Can't you understand what I'm saying?!"
The authoritative voice carried a strong sense of oppression. Nangong Xiaoya was like a frightened rabbit at this moment. All her grievances stopped abruptly. She took two steps back and dared not make a sound.
He could only stand aside and wait menacingly for Ye Feng, looking as if he were guarding against a thief.
Seeing this, Nangong Jingshu breathed a slight sigh of relief and showed a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, Master Ye, my child is being ignorant and made a fool of himself in front of you."
"It's alright, we've all been this age."
Ye Feng waved his hand, not caring.
These words seemed to have angered Nangong Xiaoya again. They were clearly about the same age, but she didn't expect this guy to act like a mature elder. He was really good at pretending!
I don't know what got into my sister, that she actually believed his nonsense!
Nangong Jingshu snapped out of her reverie and steered the conversation elsewhere, subtly probing, "Master Ye, you're so young yet possess extraordinary medical skills, and you can even refine pills. You're truly an all-rounder. I wonder who your master is?"
"There's no master or apprenticeship involved; I just messed around with things and figured them out on my own."
Ye Feng said calmly.
Even if it were the first time they met, or even if they were already familiar with each other, they would not easily reveal the issue of their teacher's lineage.
Nangong Jingshu wasn't stupid either. Whether it was the Ghost Hand Twenty-Four Life-Locking Needles she had seen before, or the Rejuvenating Pill she had now, how could these be things she had just messed around with?
This clearly shows that the other party doesn't want to talk.
She didn't insist, but instead extended an invitation, "Since Master Ye has no teacher, would you like to become my teacher's disciple? He is the medical sage of the capital."
"If you don't mind, Master Ye, you will probably achieve even greater things in the future."
Nangong Jingshu, settling for second best, came up with a compromise.
Ye Feng shook his head without hesitation and refused directly, "I'm used to a free and easy life and I don't really like a life with rules and regulations."
"Oh well."
Nangong Jingshu felt a little regretful.
Since the main objective was not achieved, Ye Feng was able to leave the ward after chatting for a few minutes and exchanging contact information.
After Ye Feng left, Nangong Xiaoya turned around indignantly, staring at Nangong Jingshu and asking, "Sister, why are you so mean to me for the sake of an outsider!"
"Is this kid really that good? Why are you so protective of him!"
After all, she was also Nangong Jingshu's younger sister, and the two were bound by blood.
But this kind of relationship is not as good as someone you've only known for less than two hours?
How could Nangong Xiaoya possibly feel at peace with this?
"You're still too childish."
Nangong Jingshu shook her head helplessly, reached out and touched Nangong Xiaoya's forehead before slowly saying, "This Doctor Ye is more than just skilled; he's a genius, a rare find in the world."
Nangong Xiaoya was taken aback, and then a hint of doubt appeared on her face.
A prodigy?
Rare in the world?
Even his own sister has never used such a word, so what makes that kid so special?
Seemingly sensing Nangong Xiaoya's disbelief, Nangong Jingshu quickly added, "The pill he just refined is called the Rejuvenating Pill. It's a third-grade pill. Besides unleashing powerful life force to pull people back from the brink of death, it has another effect!"
"That is to help the user break through the limits of the body. If an ordinary person takes it, it can help them enter the ranks of martial artists. If a master of the Gathering Yuan Realm takes it, there is a great chance that they can break through to the Innate Grandmaster level."
"Do you think just anyone could refine such an extraordinary elixir?"
Upon hearing these words, Nangong Xiaoya was stunned.
I vaguely sensed something was wrong. If the pills were this powerful, wouldn't that mean the person who refined them was even more powerful?
"Do you really think he's only good at alchemy and medicine? The fact that he can refine third-grade pills is enough to show that his own strength is not weak either. He must be at least at the Gathering Yuan Realm, otherwise it would be impossible for him to refine them."
"And just now..."
At this moment, Nangong Jingshu glanced at Xiang Kun, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
The members of the Baolong clan are all quite powerful. When Xiang Kun clashed with Ye Feng earlier, he only needed to say one sentence to make Xiang Kun back down, which is enough to illustrate the point.
"A master of both medicine and martial arts, and so young. Such a mission is extremely rare even in the entire provincial capital."
"Do you think I should befriend someone like that?"
After hearing these words, Nangong Xiaoya nodded in sudden understanding.
But then she couldn't help but wonder, and subconsciously asked, "If he's really that capable, how could he be so low-key?"
"You don't understand. Most truly capable people in this world don't like to be high-profile. On the contrary, those who lack ability like to show off."
Nangong Jingshu explained it this way.
The two sisters went back and forth, making Xiang Kun, who was listening from the side, feel extremely uncomfortable.
......
After leaving the hospital.
Ye Feng was about to go find Wei Na when he unexpectedly received a phone call from an unknown number.
After the call was connected, the other party's voice sounded extremely unfamiliar.
"Feed? Is it Xiaoye?"
It was a gentle woman's voice. Ye Feng thought about it carefully for a long time, feeling that it was somewhat familiar, but when he tried to think about it carefully, he couldn't remember it clearly.
"Xiao Ye, you've already forgotten me?"
"It's me, Ye Ling Shuang. Do you remember me?"
Ye Ling Shuang.
Upon hearing this familiar name, Ye Feng's pupils dilated slightly.
He finally remembered who this woman was. He opened his mouth and called out, "Aunt...Aunt?"
Ye Feng was somewhat unsure, but he recognized the name.
"Not bad, you finally remembered me. If you had forgotten me, you wouldn't be in for it."
Hearing the hearty laughter coming from the other end of the phone, Ye Feng felt somewhat dazed.
As far as he can remember, this aunt had been studying abroad since he was a child, and had been working abroad ever since she graduated. Why is she back now?
