Chapter 69: All the City Discusses

Jiang Feng's corner of his mouth lifted a faint smile.

"Then it's a deal."

"At nine a. m. three days from now, at the Ji Shi Tang Gate, don't be late."

Yang Wencheng sneered, "Don't worry, I'll definitely be there! When the time comes, I'll show you what true Traditional Chinese Medicine heritage is!"

"Fine."

Jiang Feng said no more, turned and walked side by side with Su Xueyan toward the car.

The Mercedes engine roared to life and quickly vanished around the corner at the entrance of Renxin Hall.

Yang Wencheng froze in place, the arrogance on his face instantly receded like the tide.

He had been provoked by Jiang Feng a moment ago, his mind heated and he rashly accepted the Medical Duel; now, cooling down, he only later realized his panic.

He had long heard of Jiang Feng rescuing Wang Haitao, which is far beyond what ordinary Traditional Chinese Medicine can match!

If he rashly keeps his promise and loses, not only will Ji Shi Tang get nothing, but Renxin Hall's reputation in the Jiangcheng Traditional Chinese Medicine circle will be completely ruined!

"Damn!"

Yang Wencheng muttered a low curse and instinctively fished out his phone.

He cannot just sit and wait for death; he must find a patron.

After searching for a while, he finally found a number and dialed it immediately.

The phone rang five times before being answered, and a rough voice came from the other end.

"Wencheng? The sun's risen in the west, and you actually called me? Can't make it in Jiangcheng and want to go back to the valley?"

"Senior brother, it's not..."

Yang Wencheng lowered his voice.

"I'm in trouble; I arranged a Medical Duel with someone whose medical skills are extremely unorthodox. Can you come to Jiangcheng to help me hold the scene?"

"Medical Duel?"

Zhao Ming froze for a moment, then scoffed aloud.

"Since you're also from Medicine King Valley, who is the opponent that makes you so nervous?"

Yang Wencheng still retorted stubbornly.

"This guy is a bit unorthodox; I'm mainly afraid of losing the Sect's face, so I ask you, senior brother, for help."

Zhao Ming was silent for a few seconds.

"People from Medicine King Valley never lose a Medical Duel! I'll bring two senior brothers early tomorrow morning to Jiangcheng to help you!"

"Alright, alright! Thank you, senior brother!"

Yang Wencheng hung up, and the weight on his heart finally eased a bit.

However, such a big Medical Duel must be reported to Li Kun, so he headed straight for the Li Family.

……

Li Family Manor.

Seeing Yang Wencheng again, Li Kun frowned.

"Why are you here again? What happened?"

Yang Wencheng's smile froze, and he lowered his voice.

"Director Li, I made an appointment with Jiang Feng; three days later at the Ji Shi Tang Gate we'll have a Medical Duel, betting the affiliation of Ji Shi Tang."

"Are you crazy? Who told you to duel him? Do you know how powerful his medical skills are?"

Upon hearing the news, Li Kun looked at Yang Wencheng with a face full of anger.

Yang Wencheng was frightened and took a step back.

"Director Li, I... I just think he's young, has no True Skill, and relies on shady shortcuts..."

"Shady shortcuts?"

Li Kun sneered.

"Have you ever seen Jiang Feng's methods? You duel him? Are you thinking you might die faster that way?"

He grew increasingly angry, his finger almost poking Yang Wencheng's nose.

"I had you use the Agreement to pressure him, to wear him down and force him to cooperate with the Li Family, not to gamble a Medical Duel with him!"

"If you lose, Ji Shi Tang gets nothing, and Renxin Hall's reputation will be completely ruined; how will you end then?"

Yang Wencheng was scolded to the point he dared not lift his head, yet he felt indignant inside!

He took a deep breath and lifted his head.

"Director Li, have you forgotten that I am a disciple of Medicine King Valley? I've already contacted senior brother Zhao Ming! Even if Jiang Feng's medical skills are unorthodox, can he still beat the heritage of Medicine King Valley?"

"Medicine King Valley?"

Li Kun was startled for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Of course he knew Medicine King Valley; it is the nation's top Traditional Chinese Medicine school, with a heritage spanning centuries.

Its disciples are spread everywhere, and its name ranks among the top in the Traditional Chinese Medicine circle.

Yang Wencheng, seeing his attitude loosen, quickly seized the opportunity.

"Yes, Director Li! Once I win the Medical Duel and claim Ji Shi Tang, I'll leverage Medicine King Valley's reputation to open our Li Family's Medical Hall in the Provincial Capital."

"When that happens, who would dare challenge your position in Jiangcheng?"

Li Kun was silent for a few seconds.

Yang Wencheng's words hit his thoughts.

If they could expand the Li family's Traditional Chinese Medicine business using Medicine King Valley's name, it would indeed be a good thing.

No matter how powerful Jiang Feng is, he's just one person; Medicine King Valley is an entire school.

He lifted his eyes to look at Yang Wencheng, and his Tone softened a few degrees.

"Are you sure your senior brothers can come? People from Medicine King Valley wouldn't casually mix in this kind of street Medical Duel, would they?"

"Definitely can come!"

Yang Wencheng quickly nodded.

"My senior brother Zhao Ming protects us Junior Brothers the most; he has already promised to arrive at Jiangcheng first thing tomorrow morning, and when he makes a move, he can suppress that kid Jiang Feng!"

Li Kun nodded, finally said, "Alright, since you have people from Medicine King Valley backing you, I won't stop you. But remember, don't cause any mishaps; if you lose, you take responsibility yourself, don't implicate the Li Family!"

"Don't worry!"

Yang Wencheng wore a broad smile.

……

When the black Mercedes drove back to Ji Shi Tang Gate, the sky had already turned dark.

As soon as it stopped, Hua Yingying stepped out, her face full of anticipation.

"Brother Jiang Feng! How's it going? Has the matter been resolved?"

Jiang Feng shook his head: "I haven't seen Li Kun, but I've thought of another solution…"

Then Jiang Feng briefly explained the Medical Duel matter.

Hua Lao, excited after listening, grasped Jiang Feng's hand.

"Jiang Feng, thank you!"

Su Xueyan got out of the car and walked to Jiang Feng's side.

"Yang Wencheng will definitely not settle peacefully; I'm afraid he'll use tricks during the Medical Duel."

"How about we invite Senior Elder Sun Boyong to be the notary? He is Jiangnan's Number One Divine Doctor, highly respected in the Traditional Chinese Medicine circle of Jiangcheng; with him present, even if Yang Wencheng wants to pull stunts, he wouldn't dare act brazenly."

"That's a good idea!"

Hua Lao immediately echoed: "Senior Elder Sun is of Integrity, inviting him as notary is the most fitting!"

Jiang Feng nodded, took out his phone and dialed Sun Boyong's number.

The call was quickly connected, and Sun Boyong's cheerful voice came through.

"Mr. Jiang? You need something? Is Xue Yan's Cold Poison having another issue?"

"It's not about Xue Yan, it's about Ji Shi Tang."

Jiang Feng briefly explained the Medical Duel matter to Sun Boyong.

"We would like to ask you to be the notary, to settle the venue, so that Yang Wencheng doesn't use tricks."

Sun Boyong was momentarily stunned, then burst into hearty laughter.

"Medical Duel? Sounds quite interesting, three days later at nine in the morning, right? I'll definitely be there! Not only me, I'll also help you contact a few old friends from the Traditional Chinese Medicine circle, to be witnesses together, guaranteeing Fairness and Integrity!"

"Then I'll trouble Senior Sun."

Jiang Feng let out a sigh of relief.

Hua Lao also completely relaxed, pulling Jiang Feng toward the shop.

"Come, I'll prepare some medicinal materials for the Medical Duel for you."

……

In the next two days, the Traditional Chinese Medicine circle of Jiangcheng erupted completely.

The news of Jiang Feng's Medical Duel with Yang Wencheng spread like wings, reaching every street and alley.

Some said Jiang Feng, young and vigorous, certainly couldn't match Yang Wencheng's decades of medical experience.

Others said Jiang Feng's medical skill was miraculous, Yang Wencheng was simply not a match.

Who would be the one to laugh last in this Medical Duel became a hot topic throughout.

Time flew by, and before they knew it, the day of the Medical Duel arrived.
