”Old Camel has such a temper, don't mind it.” Peng Quantong consoled Luo Baiqiu when he saw his attitude towards Shi Lei.
”It doesn't matter.” Shi Lei did not care, he knew that geniuses and paranoia were synonymous, and for those with some talent, most people had weird fetishes.
Peng Quantong saw that Shi Lei was not concerned, but he secretly appreciated it. He pointed to another fatty and said: ”This is to capture Old Wen, regardless of whether or not it is a medicinal ingredient, catch it accurately, no more, no less, never miss a chance. He is very famous, if there is a chance, you can discuss it more.”
Fatty laughed and said to Shi Lei: ”Shi Lei, I heard old man Peng say that you're Hundred Herb Chen's son-in-law?”
”Yes.” Shi Lei nodded.
”Sigh, what a pity. Speaking of which, I don't even know what kind of illness it was, it was like he, someone from his nation, was unable to cure his own disease, truly like how Healer did not know his own medicine.”
”…” Shi Lei was not in a good position to interrupt this topic, so he did not pick up the topic.
Fatty said, ”I count as half a disciple of Elder Chen. If there is a chance in the future, I must pay my respects and burn incense sticks.”
Grasping Old Wen was a well-known fact in the medical community. Countless nobles and merchants were his guests, and at the same time, he was also the executive director of the Chinese Medical Association.
He actually had nothing to do with Shi Lei's father in law, and had not even met him before. It was just that Hundred Herbs Chen was famous for his medicinal formulas, and was also a senior.
Shi Lei had a good impression of the fatty, and laughed: ”Big brother Wen has gone to the Nanyang, I'll take the east.”
Peng Quantong pointed to the last tanned old man with sunken eye sockets and said: ”This is Wang Binglin from Beijing. As the saying goes, you have to remove a pot with acupuncture.
”Good day.” Shi Lei smiled at Bingyong Lin. His knowledge system was everything, so he naturally knew about fire jars, but acupuncture and moxibustion focused on ”internal adjustment” and extracting ”external interference”. In actuality, there were limitations to how the latter could treat illnesses.
Bing Yonglin looked at Shi Lei with an excited expression. ”I hope you can let me see the glory of a Sanqing Needle.”
Obviously, he had come to see the Sanqing Needle.
After the three evaluators finished, Peng Quantong said to Shi Lei apologetically: ”Originally, I didn't want to make this matter so complicated. I had intended for us two to spar in private. However, they didn't know where these few old fellows had heard the news, but they had all ran over to try out the beauty of the Sanqing Needle. Sigh, we are old brothers, so it would not be good for me to refuse them. However, I cannot let them see it in vain.
”No need.” Shi Lei waved his hand: ”That's alright.”
Fatty laughed and said: ”Old Peng, I, Shi Lei do not care, why are you nagging so much? Hurry up and get started.”
”Alright, then let's begin.” Peng Quantong said: ”Shi Lei, I previously said that I would fight with you, but now, I have changed my mind. Hundred Herbs Chen was an all-round master back in the day, so he can't be that bad to his son-in-law. Let's compete in three matches, one for diagnosis, two for medicine, and three for acupuncture, what do you think? ”
”No problem.” Shi Lei smiled and nodded. He knew that these old men wanted to thoroughly test his abilities.
Peng Zhaoyuan stood at the door for a while, before a man in a black suit walked over quickly.
”Director Peng, everything is ready.” The man reported in a low voice.
”Very well, then we shall begin.” Peng Zhaoyuan said.
Then he waved his hand and the man quickly left, as if he was doing something very difficult to see and was afraid of being found out.
Only then did Peng Zhaoyuan open the door to the clinic and inquire: ”Grandfather, everything is ready, can we begin?”
