Chapter 348: 348

When Old Wang learned that the Southern Faction of Traditional Chinese Medicine wasn’t joking around, he couldn’t help but smile with amusement.

"Indeed, young people should have confidence. I agree to the Medical Competition with you!"

Wang Taisui truly had the demeanor of a great master, and in fact, his agreement to the Medical Competition with Lin Dong, whether he won or lost, was a thankless task for him.

If he won, as a senior, it was expected by others.

If he lost, it would greatly affect his reputation.

Nevertheless, he was willing to give Lin Dong, the young man, an opportunity.

With such magnanimity, he was truly worthy of his title as the top Chinese medicine practitioner in Dragon Country.

"Grandpa, Lin Dong isn’t qualified to compete with you in a Medical Competition!" Wang Xiuxin was the first one to speak up.

His grandpa was someone he always aspired to surpass in the field of medicine, a god-like figure in his eyes. In his view, Lin Dong, a junior, didn’t deserve to be compared with his grandpa.

Other Chinese Medicine Practitioners of the Northern Faction also began to speak out at that moment.

"Old Wang, please think again."

"Whether we win or lose this Medical Competition, it’s not good for our Northern Faction."

"If we win, others will say that we bullied the weaker, that the victory was without honor. If we lose, you’ll become... their stepping stone."

"..."

Everyone advised against it.

Although they thought it was improbable for Old Wang to lose, winning wasn’t significant either.

So they still advised Wang Taisui not to compete in this Medical Competition with Lin Dong.

But Wang Taisui had already made up his mind.

"I’ve already agreed. This Medical Competition might seem meaningless to you, but to me, it has great significance!"

"If I win, then it’s just a small setback for him, and I hope he will continue to strive and surpass me soon."

"If I lose, then it means that Dragon Country Chinese Medicine has been fortunate to see the rise of an exceptional genius, a fortunate event for our medicine."

"So, win or lose, it’s all good!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt ashamed.

Even Lin Dong was no exception.

This was the true demeanor of a great doctor, which commanded immense respect.

"Cough cough..." At this moment, Lin Dong cleared his throat and said, "Old Wang, there’s one more thing I’d like to add a small bet to. How about it?"

Upon hearing this, Old Wang was also slightly taken aback, then couldn’t help but laughingly say, "Interesting, what kind of bet would you like to add?"

"I’ve heard that Old Wang has a piece of dragon’s saliva that’s several hundred years old. If by some chance I win against Old Wang, could you give me that piece of dragon’s saliva?" Lin Dong said, his face not turning red and his heart not skipping a beat.

Wang Xiuxin, Li Yanran, and Lin Tiance, who were all listening to these words, nearly coughed up blood.

Li Yanran secretly said to herself, "This Lin Dong, his skin is really thick. Old Wang generously offered him an opportunity for a Medical Competition, and he actually has set his sights on that piece of dragon’s saliva in his possession."

Lin Tiance couldn’t help but speak up, "Old Wang, that’s not acceptable! Don’t agree, wasn’t that dragon’s saliva promised to me?"

Wang Taisui frowned slightly at Lin Tiance, saying displeasingly, "Young man of the Lin family, when did I ever say that I must give you this piece of dragon’s saliva?"

"This..." Lin Tiance was stunned; Old Wang had indeed never said such a thing.

But...but given the relationship between their two families? Plus, Old Wang brought that piece of dragon’s saliva all this way, wasn’t it meant for him?

Old Wang spoke sternly, "Young man of the Lin family, this piece of dragon’s saliva is mine, and how I dispose of it is not your business to direct."

Clearly, Old Wang was a bit angry because of what Lin Tiance just said.

Lin Tiance realized he had misspoken and promptly apologized.

Old Wang ignored him and instead turned his head to Lin Dong and counter-asked, "If I lose, giving you the dragon’s saliva is no problem. But what if you lose? What then?"

"What do you think, Old Wang?" Lin Dong counter-asked.

"Haha..." Wang Taisui laughed and said, "If you lose, join our Northern Faction, how about that?"

As soon as this was said, the Southern Faction Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners were panicked, their faces turning dark.

Li Yanran was also stunned for a moment. What was happening? Why was Old Wang behaving somewhat...somewhat shamelessly like Lin Dong?

Was he really openly poaching in front of Southern Faction Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and a crowd of Southerners?

Is this how things are done?

The Five Elders of Southern Faction quickly gave Lin Dong a hint.

But Lin Dong pretended not to see it, clearing his throat and saying:

"Okay!"

He agreed?

At this moment, the Southern Faction Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners were even more anxious.

The Medicine King couldn’t help but speak out, "Leader Lin, you are a Southerner, you must not join the Northern Faction!"

The Needle King also said, "Leader Lin, let this old man take your place in the Medical Competition?"

They were having regrets about agreeing to let Lin Dong participate in this Medical Competition.

If they really made the bet and lost, it would be a huge loss for their Southern Faction Traditional Chinese Medicine.

It would indeed be losing the wife and the soldiers!

They had finally seen the rise of a Traditional Chinese Medicine genius like Lin Dong, a leader among them; if he lost to the Northern Faction, they would indeed be sick to their stomachs.

However, Lin Dong turned to them and laughingly said, "Don’t worry, everyone, I might not necessarily lose this Medical Competition!"

After speaking, he turned to Wang Taisui and said, "Then it’s decided so cheerfully; can we start the Medical Competition now?"

When Wang Taisui saw that Lin Dong had truly agreed, even he couldn’t contain a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Good, good, good. Young people should be as confident as you are."

"To encourage you, in this Medical Competition, I shall give it my all!"

Hearing Wang Taisui say this, the Southern Faction Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners twitched at the corners of their mouths.
