Chapter 523: Chapter 523: The Student Surpasses the Master

"Blue comes from the indigo plant but is bluer than it; given time, you won’t be inferior to Cheng Han."

Huang Bingyi seriously said to Qiao Xi, "You must not be arrogant or complacent, for complacency leads to loss, and humility brings benefits. Every step leaves its print."

Qiao Xi nodded obediently: "Yes, I will heed your teachings."

Wow!

Not inferior to Cheng Han!

The audience watching this scene all opened their mouths wide. Who would have thought that Qiao Xi, the least favored by many, would have such a performance?

"Even Old Master Huang said her future is not worse than Cheng Han’s. Actually, even I am moved. She refused to withdraw despite her injury, initially seeming stubborn, but who would have expected she really is quite skilled!"

"All I can say is that even after twenty years out of the limelight, Cheng Han is still Cheng Han! His chosen disciples won’t be any less talented!"

"Who could have imagined that the biggest winner of today’s round would be Qiao Xi! I can’t even see anyone else, her brilliance outshines even the sun and the moon. Even Lu Yingxue has become merely a backdrop."

"You lot are such flip-floppers, this is only the second round, not the last! Pediatric food stagnation is so simple an ailment, anyone could resolve it, right! Don’t forget how much Miss Lu has contributed to our Beijing."

"Lu Yingxue has been the most consistent performer. Today she used the Golden Needle Obstacle Removal Technique, clearly paying homage to Huang Bingyi!"

"We, the people of Beijing, should support Lu Yingxue!"

"Qiao Xi might be impressive! But it’s highly unlikely she’ll take first place in the medicine trial conference! As everyone knows, the second day after a burn is the most severe, when the wound hurts the most! And the third round of the competition is the day after tomorrow! She has no time to breathe!"

The debates among the crowd were non-stop.

However, Huang Bingyi reached out to gently pat Qiao Xi’s shoulder and said, "Take care of your injury after it’s over. A doctor’s hands are the most important."

"Okay."

Qiao Xi responded.

The list of those selected for the next round was quickly announced after the second round, including Han Jia, Shen Xuanzhi, Xiang Mingzhu, Lu Yingxue, Qiao Xi, and other ten individuals.

Lu Bannong was very dissatisfied with the outcome, but he still gave some encouraging words on stage.

"The second round is over, and the third round will take place at 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow. The subject will be disclosed at that time; I hope all the contestants will rest well and face the evaluation of this grand traditional Chinese medicine event with your best self. Let’s leave everyone with a bit of suspense."

The third round would be the last round, and suspense was to be reserved.

With no exam topics announced, no one knew what it might be.

"Please, audience members, exit the venue in an orderly manner."

After Lu Bannong finished speaking, the elderly judges stood up one after the other, preparing to leave. When he saw Huang Bingyi also leaving through the entrance of the inner court, he quickly gave Lu Yingxue a meaningful glance.

The father and daughter of the Lu family followed him directly.

The tens of thousands of spectators in the arena also started to stand up and prepare to leave.

Old Chen in the VIP area directly dismantled the barricade of the inner court to allow Huo Xingzhou to enter smoothly.

Huo Xingzhou quickly walked to Qiao Xi’s side, staring at the burn on her right forearm with eyes like tumultuous waves of sand.

His expression was frigid, but he restrained it considerably in her presence: "I will take you to treat your wound."

Qiao Xi held his wrist: "Wait a bit longer. I am well aware of my injury. It’s already been delayed for so long, a little while longer won’t make a difference."

Her arm was very painful, but she couldn’t just leave right now. Time and time again her evasions had not deterred them; it seemed they saw her as easy to bully, prompting them to intensify their actions.

"Young Master Sun, the bet..."

She called out.

Sun Weimeng, as if possessed, instantly understood her meaning: "I know!"

Sun Weimeng rushed forward, snatching the microphone from the hands of a staff member.

The microphone emitted a piercing noise.

"Hey hey hey!"

Sun Weimeng was yelling while tapping the microphone.

His voice spread throughout the entire Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.

Narrowing his eyes, he looked at the half-departed crowd and shouted loudly: "Hold on, I have some private grievances to settle!"

He stared at the silhouette trying to sneak away from the VIP seats and shouted: "Xiang Ze, are you planning to leave like a shrinking turtle? Has this young master given you permission to go? The hottest post on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Forum is about the bet I have with you!"

Why do these Beijing people love to bet so much!

Always losing!

And never remember the lesson!

Insisting on bringing shame upon themselves.

"Xiang Ze, you lost! Get the hell down here, and, according to the bet, you should strip and run a lap around the field!"

Sun Weimeng is especially arrogant!

Xiang Ze’s face in the VIP seats went ashen, from the moment Qiao Xi insisted on continuing the competition, he had a bad feeling.

The family clearly said they would take care of everything and definitely not let that bitch advance to the next round.

Didn’t expect her to be so stubborn!

And she really did secure a spot in the end!

"Xiang Ze you wimp, still not rushing down here to kowtow and admit your mistake!"

Sun Weimeng kept provoking, "Everybody, reason with me, I made a bet with Xiang Ze. He’s actually trying to weasel out of it, no wonder he could do such disgraceful things at the Guan Family’s birthday banquet, he’s just rotten to the core!"

Rolling in the sheets?

Ordinary people were unaware of such explosive news!

Interest piqued, they sat back down, finding this far more entertaining than the needle competition!

All the media cameras also focused on the scene.

These were all the journalists invited by Xiang Ze for a hefty price, experts at writing gossip and creating hype.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you country bumpkin! My brother was set up! How could he possibly roll in the sheets with such a despicable woman, clearly it’s you all..."

Before she could leave, Xiang Mingzhu began to shout back.

She and Xiang Ze were siblings and their relationship was fairly good.

To insult Xiang Ze was to insult the Xiang Family!

Sun Weimeng made a mocking face, being particularly shameless: "You siblings both love to gamble and can’t stand losing! It turns out the entire Xiang Family are wimps, and I see what kind of ’Four Great Families’ you are – you might as well be called Beijing’s number one shamelessly thick-skinned family!"

"You..."

Xiang Mingzhu’s face turned beet red with anger.

Unable to sneak away with those strange looks coming from the VIP seats, Xiang Ze could only slowly make his way to the center of the field.

His eyes dark and brooding, he glared at Sun Weimeng and Qiao Xi.

These two lowlifes, always ruining his plans!

Sun Weimeng sneered: "What are you looking at! Hurry up and fulfill the bet, strip off your clothes! Everyone’s watching!"

A lot of people joined in the jeering!

"Take it off!"

"Streak, Young Master Xiang!"

"If you bet, you accept the outcome, hurry and strip! We’re all waiting to see, Xiang Ze, you’re not getting cold feet, are you?"

Xiang Ze’s face turned alternately green and white from the taunting.

Willing to accept the loss but too proud to back down.

Thinking of running but found it hard to back out!

"Brother."

Xiang Mingzhu tugged at his arm and said, "You mustn’t do anything foolish. That incident during the Guan Family’s birthday event almost drove him mad! If you run around naked, which daughter of any Beijing family would be willing to marry you?"

In the Xiang Family, a person with no worth is worth less than a dog.

Xiang Mingzhu tried to reason with him: "What does a bet made online matter, even if you go back on your word, it’s not illegal! At most people will say you can’t take a joke. But if you streak, with so many media present, our entire Xiang Family will become the laughing stock of Beijing."

What she was most worried about was her own reputation.

What if Young Master Zhong finds this disagreeable?

Xiang Mingzhu made a good point, and a look of struggle flashed through Xiang Ze’s eyes.
