Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Who Is More Beautiful?

Wang Genzhi was silently cursing Ye Feng, but then he heard the old man beside him exclaim in delight, "Little Divine Doctor, before, whenever I practiced my Cultivation Technique’s breathing method, my lungs would ache dully. But now, using your method, my lungs feel so warm and comfortable! The pain has eased significantly!"

"Little Divine Doctor, it seems you’ve found the true root of my problem! This illness of mine can finally be cured for good! Hahaha..."

With that, he looked at Ye Feng and said, "Little Divine Doctor, just tell me how you’d like to be repaid. As long as it’s within my power, I won’t haggle."

But Ye Feng simply shook his head and said nonchalantly, "Treating the sick and saving lives is a doctor’s duty. I didn’t come here for a reward."

With that, he turned and swept out of the room.

The old man’s eyes lit up. "Little Divine Doctor, wait!" he called out quickly. "Can you at least tell me your name?"

But Ye Feng had already left the room. Wang Genzhi, standing behind, quickly stepped in with a smile. "Venerable sir, his name is Ye Feng. He’s my son-in-law. Oh, and my name is Wang Genzhi. I’m the chief physician of internal medicine at the Provincial Chinese Medicine Hospital. I’ve also won second prize in a violin performance, third prize in a penmanship competition, second prize in a culinary contest..."

Wang Genzhi was about to continue showing off, but he glanced over and saw that Ye Feng was already gone, so he hurried out after him.

The old man watched Ye Feng’s retreating figure, his eyes filled with admiration. ’Superb skill and noble character. This young man is destined for greatness.’

He then shouted toward the door, "Someone!"

A man in black hurried in and addressed him respectfully, "Grand Elder!"

The old man gave a direct command, "Get me a complete file on Ye Feng. Remember, I want *everything*."

The man in black acknowledged the order and swiftly departed.

...

By this time, Wang Genzhi had caught up to Ye Feng. He found Sofia trailing after Ye Feng, chattering away, with George following behind them, a grim look on his face.

When Wang Genzhi saw George, he almost jumped for joy. ’Haha! And here I thought this scoundrel had already slipped away. I didn’t expect to catch him right here. Hehe, it’s time to settle some debts.’

He walked up to George and said with a chuckle, "George, isn’t it? It’s time to make good on our bet, don’t you think?"

Having just seen the old man who was on his last breath now standing there, hale and hearty, George wanted to protest, but he could only stand there, mouth agape and speechless.

Wang Genzhi grinned at George. "What’s the hold-up? Not kneeling yet? Is the floor too cold for your liking? I can get you a cushion, you know."

"You..." George was livid. He turned to Sofia and said, "President, since we’re clearly not needed here, let’s leave!"

But Sofia’s reply made George freeze on the spot, completely dumbfounded.

Sofia simply shook her head and said, "You go on ahead. I’m going to stay and learn the art of acupuncture from the Little Divine Doctor!"

"You..." George was trembling with rage. But he didn’t dare lash out at Sofia, so he could only redirect his fury toward Ye Feng. He spun around, glared at Ye Feng, and spat through gritted teeth, "Punk, just you wait!"

With that, he stormed off.

But Sofia paid him no mind whatsoever. Her eyes were only for Ye Feng. She called out to him anxiously, "Little Divine Doctor, I’m serious about wanting to learn acupuncture from you! I can help you promote Chinese medicine to the world! Don’t go, please don’t go..."

When she saw Ye Feng continue walking away, Sofia grew desperate. She rushed over, grabbed his arm, and lunged forward with such force that she nearly ended up on top of him.

The two of them looked like a young couple nestled closely together. Ye Feng was just about to pull his arm free when a Maserati Quattroporte screeched to a halt beside them. The window rolled down, and someone leaned out, staring at Ye Feng with a cold sneer.

"Well, well. You’ve expanded your womanizing operations beyond Asia, I see. Taking it global now, are we? Let me just ask you this: have you no shame?"

Ye Feng turned and saw that it was Xiao Yufei. His expression immediately soured.

’How strange,’ he thought. ’Every single time another woman gets near me, every time there’s the slightest sign of anything happening, she shows up right on cue. Has she rented a private satellite just to spy on me?’

He glared at Xiao Yufei, his face a mask of annoyance. "Xiao Yufei, what right do you have to order me around like this?"

Xiao Yufei’s anger instantly erupted. She glared at Ye Feng and roared, "I’m your wife! You’re asking me what right I have?"

"Ye Feng, I just don’t understand! What do those tramps have that I don’t? You’re going around fooling with them behind my back! Do you have any shame at all?"

Getting chewed out so viciously by Xiao Yufei, Ye Feng’s own temper flared.

He turned, gave Sofia’s pretty cheek a little pinch, and then looked back at Xiao Yufei with a faint smile.

"Go on, Xiao Yufei," he taunted. "Tell me. In what way are you better than her?"

"You..." Seeing how utterly shameless Ye Feng was being, Xiao Yufei was about to lose her mind. She glared at him and seethed through clenched teeth:

"Ye Feng, just you wait!"

With that, she slammed her foot on the accelerator, and the car sped off with a roar.

But after driving maybe twenty meters, the car screeched to a halt and reversed, stopping right in front of Ye Feng again. Xiao Yufei leaned out, clenched her right fist, and then, looking at Ye Feng, she let out a dry little laugh. "BANG!"

Then she rolled up the window and sped off again.

At first, Ye Feng was baffled. But it quickly dawned on him. ’Isn’t that Xiao Wenyuan’s signature move?’

’Fuck, that girl. Of all the things to learn, she had to pick up that damn trick!’

But as it turned out, that trick was particularly effective on Ye Feng. He really was afraid that if he angered her, she’d go back and persuade Xiao Wenyuan to destroy the Jade Pendant. If that happened, it would be too late for tears.

Left with no choice, Ye Feng sighed and chased after the car.

’Fine,’ he thought with resignation. ’Sometimes you have to bow to the circumstances. I’d better go and get her to forgive me.’

’Ugh, I’m so damn sick of this humiliating life,’ he grumbled to himself. ’I need to get that Jade Pendant back as soon as possible. Once I do, the world will be my oyster!’

Seeing Ye Feng take off, Sofia stood frozen to the spot. She turned to Wang Genzhi, who was still standing there, and asked in utter bafflement:

"Sir, are all you Easterners so... open these days?"

How could Wang Genzhi not realize that Ye Feng was just trying to get a rise out of Xiao Yufei? He grinned and said, "Oh, don’t worry about all that. You wanted to learn acupuncture from him, right? You’d better hurry after him before he gets away."

Sofia snapped back to reality. She nodded and quickly hurried after Ye Feng.

Wang Genzhi watched her go, a huge grin spreading across his face. ’That’s right, go, go!’ he muttered to himself. ’Best case scenario, you drive a wedge between Ye Feng and Xiao Yufei for good. Then, my Luyao can finally become his one and only! Hahaha...’

In an excellent mood, Wang Genzhi clasped his hands behind his back and strolled away, humming a little tune from an old opera: "Su San has left Hongtong County, to find herself upon the street... Before I even speak, my heart is filled with sorrow; passing gentlemen, pray listen to my tale..."
