Chapter 346 - Acting As A Pig To Eat The Tiger (4)

Miracle Doctor Xue was from Miracle Physician Valley and had been successful in his medicinal practices over many years. He had wandered around the world for over forty years to help the dying and heal the injured. Eventually, he managed to establish a successful career in this world.

Therefore, Miracle Doctor Xue was also considered the number one Miracle Doctor in Huaxia who could compete with the legendary Bian Que.

Because Miracle Doctor Xue had aged, coupled with the situation with Miao Fenghuang back then, the poison in his body was no longer easy to suppress. Gradually, he no longer had enough energy, so he started handing over the foundation of his career to his son, Xue Chengye.

Miracle Doctor Xue resided in Qingshui City, and while he did his best to suppress the poison in his body, he brought Xue Meining along with him. He personally imparted his medical expertise to her. Presently, Xue Meining's Traditional Chinese Medicinal skills had risen to the next level and could be considered a small success.

Miracle Doctor Xue's master, who was the previous Miracle Physician Valley's valley master, had pa.s.sed away shockingly. Other than making an annual trip back to Miracle Physician Valley to pay his respects to his master, Miracle Doctor Xue had already broken off his connections with Miracle Physician Valley.

Hu Shaobai isn't even twenty years old but has already reached the elementary stages of the Houtian Realm Level Nine. Hu Qingshan, ah Hu Qingshan, are you getting bored in the Miracle Physician Valley too? Seems like you're started to yearn for the flowery outside world!

You are really good at scheming, aren't you? To think you would want to hit on my granddaughter! It seems like you're trying to catch two birds with one stone!

Hu Qingshan's scheme was obvious to Miracle Doctor Xue. As long as Hu Shaobai could win Xue Meining's heart and marry her, Miracle Doctor Xue's forty years of achievement would end up back in the hands of the Miracle Physician Valley.

Tsk! A mere nine-hundred-year-old ginseng cannot even be considered a real ginseng king. With this, you're hoping to exchange it for my established career? What a hopeful wis.h.!.+

Miracle Doctor Xue laughed coldly as he sat back down again. Earlier, he stood up fast enough to see that it was indeed a nine-hundred-year-old ginseng. There were indeed not many around in the market nowadays.

Everyone in the living room couldn't help but squeeze towards the table to get a good look. Traces of curiosity and envy flashed across their eyes as they started complimenting the ginseng. They were all secretly hoping that the ginseng was meant for them instead.

This gift was way too precious, and even Xue Chengye didn't think they could afford to return such a gift. He couldn't help but turn to look at his own father, Miracle Doctor Xue.

For the other gifts, they could accept it as long as Xue Meining liked it. They simply had to wait for some happy occasion in the other families to return a gift of similar value to them. However, it was really hard to find something like the nine-hundred-year-old ginseng out in the market.

Miracle Doctor Xue was also rather hesitant at the moment. It was true that a nine-hundred-year-old ginseng was a good item, and he really liked it. However, accepting this gift would be equivalent to sending a message to Miracle Physician Valley's valley master, Hu Shaoqing, that he agreed to this marriage. This was naturally a no-no.

At this moment, Ling Yun was finally done with his meal. He used two pieces of tissue to wipe his oily mouth before sending a message to Xue Meining. "You can reject this gift, it's way too trashy!"

There were several ginsengs that were over a thousand years old, as well as some Chinese Knotweeds, in his spatial ring. He brought these back to gift them to his mother as well as Miracle Doctor Xue. Therefore, why should she care about accepting a ginseng that was less than a thousand years old?

"Hu…" Xue Meining used her beautiful arms to press onto her towering chest as she let out a deep breath. She thought to herself that it was truly a rarity to hear Brother Ling Yun reject a gift.

However, Xue Meining thought for a while, Eh? This item is clearly better than the diamond necklace earlier on, and it can be considered a priceless treasure. Even so, Brother Ling Yun told me to reject it and even claimed that this is trashy! This…

She looked doubtfully at Ling Yun before finally opening her mouth to reject, "Big Brother Hu, I really cannot accept a gift as precious as this…"

Without waiting for her grandpa or parents to express their stand, Xue Meining had already rejected the gift personally. Everyone watching nodded, impressed by Xue Meining's response. She was indeed the grandchild of the Xue Family.

Hu Shaobai felt proud when Xue Meining told him that she didn't dare to accept the gift. However, he knew that he had to give it to her, so he looked over at Ling Yun with a disdainful look before turning his head back to Ning Er. "Sister Ning Er, this is merely a birthday gift, so why can't you accept it? You should definitely accept it. Even though this item is really rare and hard to find, I'm more than willing to gift it to Sister Ning Er!"

After saying that, Hu Shaobai's eyes swept across the audience's looks of jealousy and admiration. He was currently feeling extremely proud of himself.

The surroundings became incredibly quiet as though they were all waiting for Xue Meining's decision. Everyone envied her, but they were all worried that she would reject him again.

However, this time, everyone heard a lazy and unharmonious voice.

"Is this really rare and hard to find? I doubt so! Even though you need not pay taxes for boasting, stop a.s.suming that others can't do what you couldn't. Additionally, don't be so proud when you say something like that. You're really making a fool out of yourself!"

This was what Hu Shaobai told Ling Yun earlier, and in the blink of an eye, it was used right back at Hu Shaobai.

Everyone, including Ning Er, Xue Chengye and his wife, all the guests, the old fellas, and even Miracle Doctor Xue were shocked by Ling Yun's words!

"Nine-hundred-year-old ginseng, and it's still not considered rare? How could Ling Yun say that? Why does this kid love shocking people with his words?"

"Say, is this kid on the wrong medication? Even though he did display his incredible technique earlier, how can he say that this ginseng is nothing… This is a little overboard…"

At this moment, even the green Tang suit old man felt that Ling Yun was going overboard. He couldn't help but lecture, "Young man, you should be clear of what you're saying before it leaves your mouth. This ginseng is indeed a rare item. Don't even talk about buying it, it is hard even for you to beg for it!"

When Miracle Doctor Xue heard how ignorant Ling Yun was, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't even know how to defend Ling Yun in a situation like this!

When Hu Shaobai saw the reaction of the people around him, he instantly turned back to Ling Yun feeling more arrogant than ever. He looked down on Ling Yun as he said, "Ling Yun, didn't you say that you went to find Ning Er a birthday gift? Where is your birthday gift? Now that everyone has already presented their gifts to Ning Er, you only care about enjoying your meal!"

"Since you say that my ginseng is worth nothing, why don't you show everyone what you brought for Ning Er? Let us see what is a gift that is worthy?"

The moment he said this, everyone else nodded in agreement. On the other hand, Xue Meining and Miracle Doctor Xue's hearts jumped simultaneously. They were worried that Ling Yun might be provoked and become hostile in front of everyone.

"Little kid, even though I really like you, you shouldn't have said that his item isn't good if you don't have something better to show everyone. Otherwise, you are really at fault today…"

Presently, the spirited old man was already standing beside Xue Chengye. He had been staring at the nine-hundred-year-old ginseng for the longest time, and he spoke to Ling Yun in an unpleasant tone.

Ling Yun licked his lips before shaking his head. "Sigh, this isn't anything good at all. I was planning to not embarra.s.s myself by taking it out, but since everyone wants to see it, I guess I have no other choice!"

Really? Ling Yun's words really captured the curiosity in everyone's heart. Ling Yun didn't even look like he had his wallet with him, so everyone was curious to see what impressive gift he brought for Ning Er.

"However, I didn't bring it with me and left it in the car before I came in. Give me a moment, and I'll go pick it up now!"

"Ning Er, go get me a bigger plastic bag. There are way too many items, and I can't carry everything by hand!"

Xue Meining was dazed when she heard that her Brother Ling Yun really did bring her birthday gifts. This…

Hu Shaobai sneered coldly at Ling Yun before saying, "Ling Yun, don't tell me you're trying to run away because you don't have any gifts with you? I advise you to think twice before doing that, as you're not getting away!"

After being humiliated by Ling Yun multiple times, Hu Shaobai was starting to get agitated. Given his Houtian Realm Level Nine cultivation, he was confident that killing Ling Yun was no different from pinching an ant to death.

Ling Yun smiled, and the dimples on his face were seen. He replied faintly with a harmless smile, "Young valley master of Miracle Physician Valley, with such a great name and reputation, do you really think I can escape your clutches?"

Hu Shaobai thought that Ling Yun was showing weakness, so he grunted and replied proudly, "You are pretty knowledgeable after all! You're right, if you really try to escape, don't blame me for dragging you back with my bare hands. That way, it isn't going to end well!"

Ling Yun chuckled as he responded, "Don't worry, I haven't even given Ning Er her birthday presents. Naturally, I won't leave, let alone run away!"

After saying that, Ling Yun turned to look at Xue Meining. Xue Meining looked anxiously at him as though she was afraid that he would lose out.

Ling Yun smiled at her before winking for her to get the plastic bag.

Seeing how cheeky Ling Yun looked, Xue Meining felt much better about this. After all, Ling Yun had never disappointed her, so she took a huge black plastic bag and handed it to Ling Yun.

Ling Yun glanced at Hu Shaobai before asking, "Do you dare to lend me your jade box?"

Hu Shaobai stared at Ling Yun for a few moments before taking out the ginseng cautiously. He held the ginseng in his hand and allowed Ling Yun to take his jade box.

At this moment, Miracle Doctor Xue didn't say anything either! He wanted to see what Ling Yun had in store for them!

"Please make way! I need to retrieve Ning Er's birthday presents, and I'll be right back!"

Everyone was now extremely curious about what Ling Yun brought, so they instantly opened a path for him. All of them paid close attention to him as he walked towards the courtyard.

Of course, Ling Yun didn't have his car parked outside. The only reason he came out was because he was worried that he might shock everyone by taking items out of his spatial ring. Therefore, he could only find a concealed location to retrieve his items.

Presently, there was n.o.body at the entrance of Miracle Doctor Xue's mansion. Once he left the door, he turned a corner and took out a pile of items from his spatial ring. He placed them all into the black plastic bag. Following which, he carried the plastic bag full of items and walked back into the living room of the mansion.
