Chapter 1024 - Chapter 1024 Chapter 1024 Because You Dont Deserve It

Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: Because You Don’t Deserve It Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: Because You Don’t Deserve It “Luo, today, you will perform your acupuncture skill in front of everyone and let everyone judge it, how about it?” one of the elderly men pointed arrogantly at Luo Ziling and said proudly, “If you are just pretending to be the heir of the Taiyi Divine Needle, then we won’t let you participate in the annual conference today.”

Facing the passionate scene of the annual conference, Luo Ziling was briefly panicked but soon calmed down.

“I really want to know, on what basis do you say this about me?” Luo Ziling angrily questioned the two elderly men standing in front of him, “If you have witnessed my acupuncture skill and think I’m just pretending to be capable, you can say that. But you haven’t seen my skill, and you rebuke me with such an attitude. On what basis? Just because I’m young? Why can’t a young person master advanced acupuncture skills?”

He was truly angry; he had never been publicly scolded by so many people before.

He was very proud, not to mention that Ouyang Feifei, a great beauty, was sitting right beside him.

Although he had already gone to call off his engagement, Ouyang Feifei still held a special place in his heart.

Men have their pride, especially in front of beautiful women. They will not allow themselves to be looked down upon, insulted, much less scolded.

Therefore, Luo Ziling became angry.

At that moment, Ouyang Feifei also stood up, sharing his indignation.

“Luo Ziling’s acupuncture skill has already gained a lot of fame in Yanjing. He defeated Gu Jian’an, who is known for his acupuncture skill. I suppose you know about this, right? Gu Jian’an considered himself the best needler in the world and even kept the acupuncture bronze man secretly. However, he was defeated by Luo Ziling and even lost the acupuncture bronze man. Based on this alone, he deserves to be called the heir of the Taiyi Needler.” Ouyang Feifei was also very annoyed; today was a huge loss of face, and accusing Luo Ziling in her company was as good as attacking her.

Although they were attacking Luo Ziling, it was no different from attacking her, and she was very angry.

So, quite exceptionally, she stood up to counterattack on the spot.

“Gu Jian’an? The highly skilled in acupuncture, Gu Jian’an?” One of the elderly men was startled for a moment, then burst into laughter: “Little girl, stop joking. Nowadays, there’s no one better than the senior Gu in acupuncture skills. Just two months ago, I visited him, and I have never heard that he was defeated in an acupuncture contest by some unknown young man. Don’t talk nonsense, using a grandmaster of the acupuncture world to boost your own worth, and taking pride in disrespecting a medical celebrity, that is unethical.”

“If you were defeated in a medical contest, would you announce it to the whole world?” Luo Ziling retorted, “Do you want your embarrassments known worldwide?”

“You…” That elderly man was suddenly at a loss for words.

“Young man, don’t be so arrogant. Is there anyone here who isn’t your senior? Here, you have no right to speak.” Another agitated elderly man pointed at Luo Ziling’s nose and exclaimed, “Don’t think you are incredible just because you know a bit of acupuncture.”

“You have hypertension, which you’ve never managed to control well,” Luo Ziling quietly countered, “Based on your own medical skills, you can’t manage your blood pressure; your medical learning has been a failure.”

“What?” The previously agitated elderly man was suddenly shocked.

“You can’t control your blood pressure with your own medical skills, and based on your proficiency, you can’t even control your own emotions. Therefore, your understanding of traditional medicine is very limited, and you have no right to preach at me.” As he spoke, Luo Ziling had a chilly demeanor.

Luo Ziling looked at the other intensely emotional elderly man and scoffed, “And you, you’ve been suffering from lack of sleep these past few days, unable to adjust on your own. I suggest you eat more fruits from the south, and if you’re lucky to be treated with the Piercing Sky Cooling Needle Skill, your symptoms might be alleviated.”

The two elderly men, previously quite arrogant, having heard Luo Ziling’s diagnosis, were suddenly lost for words.

Indeed, Luo Ziling listed all the discomforts they were feeling, and even brought up how helpless they were about their own health issues. However, they would not admit it as it would be a loss of face.

Therefore, they still retorted stubbornly towards Luo Ziling, although their momentum was not as strong as before.

“If you don’t admit it, we can have other experts diagnose it. If I am wrong, I will apologize in person,” Luo Ziling said with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

“Kid, seems like you have some skills,” the inheritor of the Fire Needle, a middle-aged man around fifty named He Yan, approached Luo Ziling and said indifferently, “You managed to diagnose the illness of two of our colleagues just by looking at them.”

“Thank you for the praise, senior,” Luo Ziling bowed slightly to the other party, “May I know how to address the senior?”

The host had just introduced this man, who had a robust aura, but Luo Ziling had temporarily forgotten his name.

“The inheritor of the Fire Needle, He Yan,” He Yan was a bit angry, feeling that Luo Ziling was doing this on purpose.

The host had just introduced their names, and he had stood up to greet everyone earlier, couldn’t believe that Luo Ziling was pretending not to recognize him. This was a blatant disrespect, which made He Yan very angry, and his tone became involuntarily harsh.

“The acupuncture skill Mr. He learned should have evolved from Burning Mountain Fire, and it might be even more refined. However, this skill has too much Yang energy; it’s not suitable for patients who need to nourish Yin. This can be seen from Mr. He’s own physical condition,” Luo Ziling said with a smile, yet his words were filled with sarcasm.

This made Ouyang Feifei standing beside him almost laugh; this guy was truly audacious, daring to be so arrogant in the face of so many people’s criticisms and ridicule.

He Yan clearly caught the sarcasm in Luo Ziling’s words, and his anger intensified.

He then angrily said, “Let’s have a contest then. You use what you consider your best needle skill to compete with me. If you win, I will admit you are the successor of the Taiyi Acupuncture Method; if you lose, you better scram out of here immediately.”

“How exactly should I ‘scram,’ Mr. He? Could you demonstrate for me? I’ve only learned to walk, not to ‘scram.’ It seems you have learned much more than I have.”

Ouyang Feifei had good control, but she almost laughed at Luo Ziling’s words; ultimately, she bit her lip to hold back her laughter.

This guy, truly audacious indeed.

This also made Ouyang Feifei have an even better impression of Luo Ziling.

Men as proud as Luo Ziling who could counterattack with such composure when insulted were really rare.

Given some time, Luo Ziling was definitely destined for great achievements–with such character, how could he not succeed with some support?

He Yan was almost furious to death, but Luo Ziling did not intend to let him off; he continued to speak calmly, “I wouldn’t want to compete with you either because you are not worthy.”

“What?” After hearing that, He Yan almost wanted to rush forward and have a three-hundred-round battle with Luo Ziling.

Is there anyone more arrogant than this jerk?
