Chapter 1049 - Chapter 1049 Chapter 1049 You must be thinking about a beauty

Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: You must be thinking about a beauty Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: You must be thinking about a beauty Luo Ziling not only demonstrated the Piercing Sky Cooling, Burning Mountain Fire, and the pure Taiyi Divine Needle on Wu Sanming, but also some acupuncture skills he had created himself.

“There really are heavens beyond heavens, and people beyond people. I’ve truly opened my eyes today,” Wang Xuyun couldn’t help but exclaim after seeing Luo Ziling’s display of acupuncture skills, “If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe that someone so young could possess such formidable acupuncture skills.”

The other three people, Dong Qichang, He Yan, and Cheng Bushi, although still unwilling to concede, nevertheless acknowledged Wang Xuyun’s words.

Luo Ziling’s acupuncture skills were indeed much better than theirs, not at all on the same level.

As for how formidable Master Luo’s medical skills were, they dared not even imagine. They also understood that, with the acupuncture skills Luo Ziling demonstrated today, he was fully qualified to be their teacher. In the end, they paid their respects without any complaints and addressed Luo Ziling as their master.

Although Luo Ziling felt a bit embarrassed, having these people call him “Master” still made him very happy, and deep down, he couldn’t help feeling proud.

Therefore, immediately after the apprenticeship ceremony ended, he sent a message to Yang Qingyin, telling her the “good news.”

One of Wu Sanming’s assistants secretly took a few photos and videos and sent them to Luo Ziling after the ceremony was over.

Luo Ziling also sent these photos to Yang Qingyin.

Yang Qingyin initially thought Luo Ziling was exaggerating, but after seeing the photos and videos he sent, she believed it.

“Junior brother, you’re really something, having taken in so many senior disciples,” Yang Qingyin’s message also couldn’t hide her surprise, “It looks like your status has skyrocketed overnight. From now on, should I address you as a great master? Master Luo, please accept this young lady’s bow!”

“Being called a master by them gives you face too, doesn’t it?”

“What face do I have?” Yang Qingyin replied with a rolling eyes emoji at the end of her message naturally.

“A master’s friend, and in the future, potentially a master’s wife, doesn’t that give you face?”

Luo Ziling’s message successfully infuriated Yang Qingyin.

She sent three sets of emojis in quick succession, one featuring dripping blood knives, another with head-banging symbols, and another with very angry expressions.

“How about I let them address you as Mrs. Luo from now on?” Luo Ziling replied to Yang Qingyin with a chuckle, “A bunch of people who are considered seniors in the eyes of others, calling us young ones master and madam, feels quite an achievement.”

Following a few more rolling eyes emojis from Yang Qingyin, she then asked Luo Ziling curiously, “How did this happen? They willingly accepted the fact?”

“It must’ve been orchestrated by someone, and that someone is a good friend of my grandfather,” Luo Ziling didn’t hide anything and told Yang Qingyin.

“So, you mean these people were schemed against? Including you?”

Luo Ziling sent back a long message, “It might be my grandfather’s arrangement; I just didn’t know about it. If these disciples can willingly obey me from now on, that would be a good thing. My grandfather’s goal is actually quite grand; he wishes to revitalize traditional medicine. To achieve this, the strength of just my grandfather and me is certainly not enough; we need the alliance of many famous and capable figures. This must be just the first step of my grandfather’s plan, there definitely are other arrangements to follow. I’ll ask him in detail when he returns to Capital City.”

“Tell me more about it when you come back!” After sending this message, Yang Qingyin asked Luo Ziling when the annual meeting would end.

“It should end tonight, with a closing ceremony this evening that some leaders will attend, along with a celebration banquet. If you want to leave early, you can do so this afternoon. However, most people will leave tomorrow morning.” Luo Ziling answered honestly.

“When will you return to Yanjing?”

“I might have to stay for another couple of days, preparing to visit Qiong Island tomorrow to check on Li Haiyang. His condition is at a critical stage of recovery, and I really should stay by his side. We’ll see how it goes, but if needed, I might extend my stay on Qiong Island for a few more days.”

This message from Luo Ziling earned him another couple of eye-rolling emojis from Yang Qingyin.

“The one you’re really concerned about isn’t Li Haiyang, it’s some beautiful military flower, right?”

“I care about all of my patients!”

“Don’t want to talk to you anymore!”

“Why though?” Luo Ziling could imagine the aggrieved expression on Yang Qingyin’s face as she sent this message. After replying with a ‘why’, he quickly added, “When I come back, I’ll bring you lots of gifts. Then, you can treat me to a big meal.”

“No money!”

“I’ll lend you some!”

“What if I can’t pay you back?”

Seeing her message, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but laugh again and quickly replied, “How about, you just marry me, then all debts can be written off.”

“Dream on!!! Do you think I’m that cheap?”

“Yang is priceless, okay?”

“Hmph, hmph!”

While Luo Ziling was hiding in one room, playfully bantering with Yang Qingyin via messages, in another room, He Yan, Dong Qichang, and Cheng Bushi, who had just reluctantly performed a disciple’s bow to Luo Ziling, gathered together to whisper about the recent events.

Luo Ziling didn’t act arrogantly after accepting them as disciples and even politely exchanged a few words, mentioning they should communicate more in the future to make mutual progress, to further elevate the ancient Acupuncture Skill, and to let traditional medicine shine again, bringing benefits to more people. Luo Ziling’s demeanor made people like He Yan, Dong Qichang, and Cheng Bushi feel slightly better, but they were definitely not convinced at heart.

Once the three gathered, He Yan shared some of his thoughts with the others.

“I think this is all part of a plot. This act was orchestrated by Luo Ziling along with Wu Sanming and Wang Xuyun,” He Yan said resentfully, “Wu Sanming directed this script, inciting conflict between us and Luo Ziling, then let Luo Ziling defeat us in our Acupuncture Skill contest. With our loss, we were forced to become his disciples, and now we must follow his orders. Luo Ziling must be very grateful for Wu Sanming’s help and will certainly reap many benefits. Wang Xuyun is an accomplice too, we’ve been played by them!”

“I have the same feeling,” Cheng Bushi nodded, “It all seems a bit fishy to me.”

Dong Qichang also nodded and added, “However, Luo’s acupuncture skill is indeed formidable. I’ve made some inquiries about him these past few days, and he’s accomplished some truly remarkable feats. Some daunting bigwigs in the Capital have regained their health thanks to his treatment. Moreover, there’s one thing you might not know yet, and that is about Luo Ziling’s background.”

“What about his background?” He Yan, who knew nothing about Luo Ziling’s situation, asked Dong Qichang with a frown.

“Luo Ziling’s mother is a princess from the Yanjing Ling Family!”

“What?” Dong Qichang’s revelation shocked both He Yan and Cheng Bushi.

After Dong Qichang elaborated on the details he had investigated regarding Luo Ziling’s background, they were even more astonished.

“Could it be that the Ling Family has some special purpose, aiming to control the traditional field of medicine, and through that, control a certain power base?” This was the conclusion He Yan arrived at after his surprise.
