Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Zhou Long’s Advice_1
Ye Fei waved his hand indifferently, evidently not taking the matter to heart.
The elderly man, however, was quite familiar and chatted happily with Ye Fei.
Though the journey was not long, it was quite boring.
Ye Fei was so unoccupied that he responded to the old gentleman sporadically.
"Young friend, your skill is indeed impressive, but since you seem unfamiliar and without prominent background, it’s a waste of such talent. Coincidentally, I’m meeting the Divine Doctor this time, why not let this old man introduce you? If you could learn a trick or two under the Divine Doctor’s tutelage, wouldn’t that be marvelous?" said Mr. Zhou sincerely.
His words were not meant to belittle Ye Fei but out of a desire to nurture talent, not wanting Ye Fei to waste his skills.
But what he didn’t know was that sitting beside him was the Medical Saint Venerable. How many people under heaven would dare to become his master?
"No need."
Ye Fei smiled faintly and declined.
"You’re too modest, young friend. You saved my life, and it’s only right for this old man to help you as a form of gratitude."
Mr. Zhou was earnest, thinking Ye Fei was merely being polite to avoid troubling him.
Yet Ye Fei continued to shake his head, "Elder, I appreciate your kind intentions, but under this heaven, I fear no one qualified to be my master has been born yet."
Upon these words, the entire place fell silent!
Yunyun and Luo Hao, who were only separated by an aisle, stared at Ye Fei with odd expressions.
This man... is truly arrogant!
Mr. Zhou was also stunned for a moment, but soon he laughed, "Hahaha, young friend, you’re quite confident. It seems I was being presumptuous."
Saying this, the old man took a black business card from his pocket and handed it over.
"Giving money is too tacky. This is my business card. If there’s anything you need from me in the future, just call me. I’ve got a bit of a reputation in Canglang State."
Ye Fei turned to look at the old man’s sincere face and decided not to refuse any further.
The business card was very simple in quality, even rudimentary.
The palm-sized white paper only had a name, Zhou Long, without any fancy self-introductions.
Below it was a string of phone numbers.
Conventionally, Ye Fei should have returned a card as well.
However, he had no official duties, and even the Su Corporation was entirely managed by Su Yueru; naturally, he didn’t have a business card.
Before long, the plane reached Canglang State.
The old man repeatedly invited Ye Fei for a meal, but Ye Fei still declined.
First, he did not wish to waste too much time in Canglang State.
Second, dining and making small talk with people he had only met for a few hours was truly hard for him.
Thus, after bidding farewell, Ye Fei walked away without looking back.
"Mr. Zhou, should we investigate him?"
Luo Hao stood behind Zhou Long, asking in a low voice.
Zhou Long shook his head, looking at Ye Fei’s retreating figure with a meaningful sigh.
In his eyes, the lack of a business card was just an excuse.
With such supreme medical skills and still so young, how could he not have a business card?
There was only one answer... he wasn’t worthy!
"This young man is strong, don’t provoke him. If you see him again in the future, make sure to foster a good relationship. Do you understand?" Zhou Long said, not to Luo Hao but to the young people, Yunyun and Zhou Peng.
"Who exactly is he?" Yunyun asked softly.
Zhou Peng was more direct, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, "You’re taking him too seriously. In my opinion, he’s just a quack from the mountains who knows a bit of medicine. To receive guidance from the Divine Doctor is something many dream of, yet he refused, not knowing his luck!"
"Silence!"
Zhou Long suddenly shouted, turning to Zhou Peng with frustration, "How many times have I told you? Everything you have now was accumulated by your father and me in our younger days. You’re merely benefiting from your ancestors’ grace. What right do you have to look down on others?"
"Moreover..." Zhou Long shifted his tone and looked at Luo Hao earnestly, "Even in my youth, I probably wouldn’t have lasted three moves against him."
"What?" Luo Hao’s eyes widened in disbelief, and the two young people beside him were too stunned to speak.
Yunyun quickly added, "But you were the leading instructor of the Canglang Squad! And you dominated those unruly sects with overwhelming force back then; how could you not be a match for him?"
Zhou Long nodded, "Indeed, with my Earth Element first-stage cultivation, I led the Canglang Squad to discipline those dishonest sects. Even in these past thirty years, my cultivation has never waned."
"But that young man, seemingly ordinary, is profoundly mighty. Especially those eyes, as if he could see through everything. I have no secrets before him."
"I’m afraid he’s already seen through my shallow cultivation, and his rejections of all my invitations were simply out of disdain."
Yunyun looked shocked but persisted, "Then what do you think of the current chief instructor?"
This time, Luo Hao spoke, his face wry with a resigned smile, "You think too highly of my brother. Although he is the current chief instructor, he’s like a child in front of our father."
The implication was clear without further words.
Zhou Long’s eyes sparkled as he watched the direction Ye Fei had gone, word by word, he said, "The only one who could compare to him nowadays is probably just one person..."
Yunyun listened, a figure flashed in her mind, "Are you saying..."
Zhou Long waved his hand, advising the group with emphasis, "Just remember, if you see this young man again, make friends. The benefits will be boundless..."
