Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Chenyu CallsIn addition, Fang Bai also instructed Baili Zhan to look for some medicinal herbs on his behalf if the opportunity presented itself, for the preparation of an ointment that could remove scars. Fang Bai had never forgotten about the ten-million bet with Qian Haoduo. As long as Fang Bai could eliminate the scars on his back within a year, he would receive the ten million in cash that Qian Haoduo had entrusted to Tang Chongshan for safekeeping. Since the bet with Qian Haoduo, Fang Bai had not found the time to search for the medicinal herbs and prepare the ointment, but now that Baili Zhan was going to look for the "Man-Eating Flower," Fang Bai casually mentioned it. For Fang Bai, it would be best if Baili Zhan could find the necessary herbs, but if not, there was nothing to regret; he could always find time to search for them slowly later on. After Baili Zhan left, the peace and tranquility of the past days returned to the small village’s courtyard house. seaʀᴄh thё ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Fang Bai continued his routine of practicing every morning in the mountains and then going on with his internship at Yanjing Hospital. Baili Mingyue still went to cram school every day, though her chivalrous heart, always ready to stand up for others and fight injustice, had not changed a bit; at home, however, she was noticeably more sensible. And Jiang Yuzhi was just the same, every morning and evening, her daughter would wheel her out into the yard to bask in the sun, while she rested in her bed indoors at other times. Whenever Fang Bai was present at the courtyard house, he would take the initiative to help with these tasks. But sometimes, Fang Bai noticed that when he and Baili Mingyue were joking and laughing, Jiang Yuzhi would look at them with a slightly unusual expression, almost as if a mother-in-law was watching her son-in-law, growing more pleased with each glance. Sometimes, during their chats, Jiang Yuzhi would also beat around the bush, asking Fang Bai if he had a girlfriend yet. At these moments, Fang Bai would just laugh silently, thinking, do they really expect me to marry their daughter as thanks for saving their lives? Fang Bai admitted that he liked unique and extraordinary beauties, but Baili Mingyue was not even eighteen yet and hadn’t finished high school; he truly had no other thoughts about her for now. Since the last time he felt Su Linglong’s bones and discovered she had a Wood Spirit Root constitution, Fang Bai had taken the opportunity to teach her the Wood System Skill "Heaven’s Net." So far, Fang Bai had found two people in this world with special constitutions suitable for cultivating unique techniques. One was his sister Fang Yun, and the other was Su Linglong. Fang Yun had a Fire Spirit Root, and Fang Bai had taught her the Fire-based Technique "Redflame True Fire Technique" before coming to Yanjing. A couple of days ago, when Fang Bai called his sister Fang Yun, he found out that her "Redflame True Fire Technique" had reached a stage where her palms would feel warm as soon as she circulated the technique. This was a sign that Fang Yun had found the knack and, with persistent effort, great surprises awaited her in the future. The Wood System Skill "Heaven’s Net" that Fang Bai taught Su Linglong is also an extraordinary technique. Once cultivated to a certain realm, the True Yuan will transform into thousands of green tendrils, which can form a Heaven’s Net at her will. The technique, both in attack and defense, is truly indescribable. Fang Bai had passed on the techniques to Fang Yun and Su Linglong, but their ultimate level of cultivation would depend on their own fate and opportunities. Fang Bai believed that with special constitutions like the Five Elements Spiritual Root, Fang Yun and Su Linglong would progress much faster than average martial artists if they diligently practiced their cultivation. As long as they don’t encounter major setbacks, their future achievements would be boundless. Since successfully treating Lu Jianfeng, who was injured in a car accident, Fang Bai had become famous at Yanjing Hospital. From the hospital director to the janitors, everyone knew that Fang Bai, the intern doctor from the acupuncture and massage department, was a Little Divine Doctor capable of miraculous rejuvenation. Especially the elderly men and women whom Fang Bai cured of cervical and back pain—they personally spread word of his skill. As their testimonials spread from one to many, more and more patients seeking Fang Bai’s care came to the hospital, specifically asking for his treatment. The entire spotlight in the acupuncture and massage room was completely stolen by Fang Bai alone; although the senior doctors were dissatisfied, they dared not show it openly, as the recent lesson from Ren Ping, the former director of the emergency room, was still fresh in their minds. Having a reputation and unlimited glory, this was undoubtedly a good thing, but because of it, Fang Bai became the busiest person in the acupuncture and massage room. However, Fang Bai was not annoyed. For him, interacting with different people every day, treating different illnesses, with True Yuan depleting and then recovering, over and over, was also a form of cultivation—a cultivation not only of power but also of the mind. When it wasn’t too busy, Fang Bai would also give some guidance to Wu Tian, another intern like him, which greatly benefited Wu Tian. His acupuncture skills and massage techniques improved rapidly, and gradually patients were willing to see him as well. The ordinarily quiet acupuncture and massage room, seldom sought after by patients, had completely changed due to Fang Bai’s presence. Almost every day, it was bustling and filled to capacity. In order to maintain the normal functioning of the acupuncture and massage room, the hospital had no choice but to implement measures, allowing patients to book appointments in advance, and stated that Fang Bai would only see ten patients a day. That day at noon, Wu Tian and a few other hospital interns invited Fang Bai to a meal at a nearby hotel; just as they sat down, Fang Bai’s cellphone rang. When he checked the number, it was actually from Xia Chenyu. Seeing the name "Xia Chenyu" on the phone, Fang Bai immediately pictured a woman in a red dress, with a graceful figure and endlessly charming allure. Fang Bai was somewhat puzzled. Since arriving in Yanjing, he hadn’t contacted Xia Chenyu. Why would she suddenly call him at this time? "Fang Bai, do you have time?" Upon answering the phone, he could hear Xia Chenyu’s voice, which sounded languid and seemingly carried a hint of fatigue. "Sister Xia, from your voice, it seems you’re not in a good mood?" Fang Bai asked, smiling. "It’s not just not good, it’s very bad!" Xia Chenyu sighed as she spoke. From her sigh, Fang Bai felt a kind of despondency, as of utterly losing heart. "The Sister Xia I know is broad-minded, cheerful, optimistic, and passionate. What could have hurt you so deeply?" Fang Bai said this, his heart moved, and then he added, "Could it be that your half-brother Shen Huanian has come to you again, forcing you into an arranged marriage with a scion of some major family?" "It’s not about Shen Huanian... but it is related to the Shen Family! Hmph, the Shen Family really intends to drive me to my death!" As soon as the Shen Family was mentioned, Xia Chenyu’s tone was filled with hatred, and Fang Bai could even imagine her grinding her teeth on the other end of the phone. "Tell me what happened." Fang Bai was curious, wondering what could make the always smiling Xia Chenyu sigh and lament so. "Do you remember the last time I told you that my ’Beauty Company’ had developed two cosmetic products that we were planning to bring to market?" Xia Chenyu asked.
