Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Have You Already Become His Lover?

Wang Chenning showed no intention of showing them any mercy, and Zhang Manxin and Lin Qingyan immediately deflated.

Kneeling outside Wang Chenning’s room for a whole night would be too humiliating, and their bodies wouldn’t be able to take it. In the end, they both chose to practice their needling technique, striving to reach four hundred effective strikes per minute by tonight.

But they also knew that achieving that speed was practically impossible.

Normally, when they practiced their technique, they could manage around three hundred effective strikes per minute, but breaking through that barrier was not so easy.

But they each had their own little scheme. ’At worst, we’ll just practice our technique all night. It probably doesn’t matter if we can actually reach four hundred strikes per minute. What Wang Chenning wants to see is our attitude, not the actual result.’

Pleading and acting cute in front of so many people might not work on Wang Chenning, but if they did it in private, perhaps it would be effective.

In any case, kneeling on the floor outside his room all night was out of the question. Kneeling on his bed, however, was something they could negotiate.

And Wang Chenning certainly didn’t have the stamina to make them kneel on the bed all night...

When it came to men, they had plenty of tricks up their sleeves. What man could resist a honey trap laid by them?

After subduing the two pretty and headstrong young women and intimidating the other disciples, Wang Chenning still left Chang Qingfeng in charge of managing them.

Wang Chenning hadn’t made any specific arrangements for the next few days of instruction. He told Chang Qingfeng to bring everyone to attend his lecture tomorrow so they could all properly learn the Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnosis he taught.

Besides the lecture, he would set aside time to assess each disciple’s skills one by one and then tailor his instruction to their individual abilities.

"When the time comes, show me your best skills!" After announcing the general plan, Wang Chenning added, "I hope you can all impress me. And I want to make one thing clear: if there are any fakes among you, anyone with mediocre talent who hasn’t learned any real skills, you can just pack up and go home. I’m telling you this now so you can’t blame me for being ruthless later!"

Then he turned to Zhang Manxin and Lin Qingyan. "If the two of you don’t perform better than everyone else, I suggest you withdraw voluntarily. Otherwise, you’re not going to have an easy time here."

After he finished speaking, Wang Chenning flashed everyone a killer smile, suddenly took Zhao Xiao’an’s hand, and made a stylish exit, leaving only his broad back for the disciples to gaze at.

"How can his technique be so monstrous?" a male disciple whispered after Wang Chenning left. "He’s not human, he’s a god!"

Another fairly good-looking male disciple replied, "If his skills weren’t so extraordinary, would our old men have made us study under him?"

"Anyone who can win over our old men couldn’t possibly be simple," another person said. "Master must have a lot of secret techniques. Otherwise, Senior Zheng Guilong and Senior Wu Jianyan wouldn’t have accepted his treatment!"

Hearing this, Chang Qingfeng impatiently cut them off. "Let me give you all a reminder. Don’t gossip about Master behind his back, or you will be punished."

Then he ordered Zhang Manxin and Lin Qingyan to hurry up and go practice their needling technique instead of standing around embarrassing themselves.

Zhang Manxin and Lin Qingyan initially wanted to talk back to Chang Qingfeng, but after a moment’s thought, they decided against it.

"Fine, we’ll practice! As if we’ve never done it before!" Zhang Manxin muttered, grabbing an acupuncture model and heading to the next room.

Lin Qingyan grabbed another acupuncture model and followed Zhang Manxin out.

There were surveillance cameras in that room, and Chang Qingfeng planned to conduct a few surprise inspections. He was determined not to let those two girls get any sleep tonight.

It was their own fault for challenging his authority and daring to question Wang Chenning.

Tonight, he would teach them a lesson and make them completely obedient.

Zhao Xiao’an was overjoyed as she left hand-in-hand with Wang Chenning.

Although Wang Chenning hadn’t introduced her to his disciples as their master’s wife, he had made a clear statement by taking her hand and leaving with her.

Wang Chenning had established his authority; not one of the disciples dared to make a peep or challenge him again. She felt proud by association.

"Are you really going to make them kneel outside your door all night?"

"If they’re going to be my disciples, they need strict teaching and discipline. Besides, I don’t discriminate based on gender; I’ll treat them all the same," Wang Chenning said with a smile. "I know they’ll definitely choose the other option, but they certainly won’t be able to do it. Just you wait. Tomorrow, they’ll come begging me for mercy again. I’ll use a few more tricks to put them in their place, and they won’t dare to be so arrogant in the future. Making an example out of them will definitely work!"

"I feel like you’re a really harsh person!" Zhao Xiao’an said, smiling at Wang Chenning. "To punish such beautiful young women so mercilessly!"

"I won’t show you any mercy next time I punish you, either," Wang Chenning whispered, leaning close to her ear. "I’m taking you for a late-night snack. We’ll need our energy for the ’work’ ahead!"

"You’re impossible!" Zhao Xiao’an pinched Wang Chenning’s arm. "I don’t want to do any ’work’ with you!"

As the two were teasing each other, Zhao Xiao’an’s phone rang.

The moment she saw the caller ID, the smile vanished from her face.

"Mom!" After answering, she gestured for Wang Chenning to be quiet. "I just got off work!"

"Is Wang Chenning with you?" Luo Yaqian asked, getting straight to the point.

"Ye... yes!" Zhao Xiao’an hesitated for a moment before admitting it. "We were just about to get a late-night snack!"

"Let me talk to him. I have something to ask."

"Okay," Zhao Xiao’an said, handing her phone to Wang Chenning.

Wang Chenning took the phone and greeted her politely.

"Xiaowang, Grandpa Zhao asked me to see when you might be free in the next few days to come over and give him another check-up."

Hearing Luo Yaqian was asking about this, Wang Chenning breathed a sigh of relief. "How about this? I can come over tomorrow afternoon to check on Grandpa Zhao."

"Deal!" Luo Yaqian immediately agreed. "I haven’t been feeling too well these past few days myself. Could you take a look at me too while you’re here?"

"Of course," Wang Chenning naturally wouldn’t refuse. "Then tomorrow, after I’ve examined Grandpa Zhao, I’ll examine you."

"Okay," Luo Yaqian agreed and then hung up.

After hanging up, she looked at the woman sitting across from her with a faint, unreadable smile. "Luo Yuqing, do you really think he and Xiao’an are a bad match?"

"Xiao’an is naive when it comes to relationships, and this is the first time she’s ever been in love," Luo Yuqing, sitting across from Luo Yaqian, said softly after a nod.

"Love makes people lose all reason, especially when threatened by a rival. They might even lose their ability to think straight. If you hadn’t made that call, they definitely would have slept together tonight. Your daughter probably thinks that once she becomes his woman, he’ll belong to her. She has no idea how cunning that man is. I’ll say it again: Wang Chenning is fit to be a lover, not a husband. I don’t even think he’s fit to be *my* husband, let alone anyone else’s."

After hearing this, Luo Yaqian’s expression grew serious. "Have you already become his lover?"
