Urban Miracle Doctor
Chapter 418 - 418 418

418: 418 418: 418 The hall was filled with people, most of whom were sitting in groups, chatting.

It was natural for them to pay attention to newcomers.

Qin Han didn’t know many people and didn’t pay attention to the others.

However, many people recognized Qin Han, especially those from the Central Plains area, who nodded at him as a sign of acknowledgment.

The Ming family’s power was certainly not limited to the Central Plains area, so a considerable portion of the guests came from other regions.

Although Qin Han didn’t receive much attention, Song Yuwei did.

Her aura as a strong woman, coupled with her pure looks—a combination of two drastically different styles—made every man feel a sense of protectiveness.

Any man would take a few extra glances at her.

Not that they necessarily had any ulterior motives, but they just couldn’t help looking twice.

After all, it’s only natural for people to take a longer look at beautiful things.

Qin Han wasn’t petty enough to get angry at someone for looking a little longer.

He nodded to Ming Xizhi and, holding onto Song Yuwei, walked straight in.

“Hey hey hey, where’s the gift?” Ming Xizhi asked as he looked at Qin Han!

“Didn’t bring one,” replied Qin Han carefreely!

“Coming without a gift, isn’t that a tad disrespectful to Elder Ming?

Or is it that your pockets are tight?

If you feel like you can’t afford one, I can help you out,” a voice laced with sarcasm rang out at that moment.

Qin Han’s gaze instinctively found the speaker.

He hadn’t noticed who all were present as he had just entered, but clearly, someone had seen him.

This person was an acquaintance, met once at Changbai Mountain.

In a sense, Qin Han owed him a favor, but it was probably because of Ling Yarou’s involvement that he never had a good impression of this Zhang fellow.

Zhang Feng was the very same haughty and petty individual Qin Han had encountered at Changbai Mountain.

However, since Zhang Feng had fainted due to the lack of Poison Avoiding Pills, he was unaware of the details of what happened afterwards.

Hearing about it from his companions, he merely scoffed in disdain.

Joking, right?

A worm could grow that big?

Ming Xizhi’s brows furrowed upon hearing this—this was a clear sign of a grudge against Qin Han!

It seemed like after the young folks from the capital suffered a setback last time, they held no good feelings towards Qin Han, unaware of the grudges formed at Changbai Mountain.

In the midst of looking at Zhang Feng, Qin Han also caught sight of a figure, with a touch of sadness hidden in her brilliant eyes, watching him quietly.

“Is this your son?

Or your grandson?” Qin Han turned and said to Ming Xizhi.

Ming Xizhi gave an embarrassed smile upon hearing this.

Qin Han really didn’t treat him like an outsider, speaking his mind openly, not realizing that the last thing these career officials wanted was to be criticized about their conduct.

“My last name is Zhang,” Zhang Feng said angrily, looking at Qin Han with gritted teeth!

“Oh, Zhang, right!

What business is it of yours whether I bring a gift or not?

Are you just bored?” Qin Han retorted with a dismissive sneer.

“Zhang Feng, I’m quite familiar with Mr.

Qin; it was just a joke between us,” said Ming Xizhi with a smile, as today was the old master’s birthday banquet, and he needed to show respect to people from the capital.

However, the next moment, Ming Xizhi continued:

“Mr.

Qin is a man who enjoys his jokes too.

Alright, today is the old master’s birthday, and I don’t want any troublemakers.”

The first part was meant to defuse the tension, but the latter part was much more serious, serving as a warning.

They gave you face, but you also know where you are!

No one would cause trouble at such a time; doing so would be equivalent to making an irreconcilable enemy of the Ming family.

Zhang Feng glared at Qin Han with a cold laugh but said nothing further.

Qin Han offered a faint smile, “There is a gift indeed, but it’s not your birthday after all, so naturally, it’s for the elder.”

“By the way, I once met a long-lived elder.

When I asked him the secret to longevity, he told me to remember just one thing.

Do you know what it is?” Qin Han turned to ask Ming Xizhi.

Hearing this, Ming Xizhi was somewhat puzzled, not knowing what Qin Han was implying.

“What is it?”

“It’s to mind your own business!” Qin Han said calmly.

“Pfft!”

Laughter came from beside him; Qin Han turned to see Song Yuwei unable to hold it in, laughing out loud, the other being Ling Yarou, of course.

“You!” Zhang Feng’s face instantly turned red, and he turned to walk away, no longer paying attention to Qin Han.

Qin Han looked at Zhang Feng’s retreating figure and sneered.

This person still couldn’t let go of the incident at Changbai Mountain, truly a narrow-minded individual.

But Qin Han didn’t take him seriously at all, as they were not in the same league.

As for the birthday present for Elder Ming, he had already prepared it and hadn’t planned to hide it; he was purely teasing Ming Xizhi just now.

However, it seemed like if he didn’t deliver the gift today, he might really be looked down upon.

“Let’s go and see the elder!” Qin Han said lightly.

“Alright, the elder is over there, always mentioning he wants to see you.

But you are a busy man, I didn’t dare to disturb you lightly,” said Ming Xizhi, somewhat irritated.

Having given Ming Xizhi a glance, Qin Han said teasingly, “You seem to harbor a lot of resentment towards me!”

“More than a lot, it’s sky-high resentment!

Hahaha!” Ming Xizhi said with twitching lips, and then couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.

Song Yuwei followed beside Qin Han, pursing her lips in a smile.

To be able to make Doctor and Prefect Ming such ‘sky-high resentment,’ probably only her man could achieve that.

“What’s the deal with that Zhang family kid?” Ming Xizhi asked in a low voice!

He had thought that Qin Han was merely in contact with Song Yuwei because of those youngsters in the capital who made their moves on her last time, but it turned out that Qin Han also had grudges with the Zhang family.

“There’s no deep grievance, just that once I went to Changbai Mountain to gather herbs and ended up saving a few people, one of whom was probably the one he wants to pursue.

That just made him hate me,” Qin Han said casually.

“It wouldn’t be because you played the hero, saving the damsel in distress, and the girl offered herself in gratitude, would it?” Ming Xizhi asked with a laugh.

“Bullshit!” Qin Han said irritably, “He’d better not provoke me, or else…”

As he spoke, a chilly light flashed through Qin Han’s eyes.

Seeing this, Ming Xizhi quickly said, “Hey, come on, today is the elder’s birthday celebration, give me some face!”

“Don’t worry, I know what’s important, I won’t make trouble here,” Qin Han said calmly.

Ming Xizhi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

To him, it wasn’t the likes of Zhang Feng, those dandies, that he feared.

No matter how much they stirred trouble, there was always a sword hanging over their heads.

There were things they must not do, and rules they must abide by.

What he feared was Qin Han, for when this guy decided to act up, he gave neither heaven nor earth any regard.

And the most critical point was that Qin Han possessed the power to break the rules, only choosing not to use it.

But that premise was not to touch his bottom line!
