Chapter: 5346

With a reputation established, I'll also have the capital to quickly establish myself in Jinling.

As he is well aware, regardless of whether it's medical skills or elixir-making, the top talent in these two fields will all become coveted targets for the powerful and wealthy.

Once I replace Tianze, I'll naturally become a highly sought-after doctor in Jinling, which will also allow me to quickly integrate into Jinling's upper social circle while gathering information.

It is precisely because of this that Jingye Pavilion has become my must-win first battle.

As for the current Ye Chen, although he may be arrogant, Hong Tianxiu does not believe that Ye Chen will be the capable person behind Tianze; instead, he sees him as a small-time troublemaker.

Right now, this small-time troublemaker is jumping around in front of me, really getting on my nerves, but I can't hit back, so I just scowl and say, "You know or not, no one has ever dared to talk to me like you do?"

Ye Chen shrugs his shoulders: "You're a weirdo who's stuck his tail up someone else's arse, trying to pretend to be something big. Go out the door and come back with a bunch of nonsense. Don't bother me anymore."

"You!" Hong Tianxiu is furious again, raises his hand to hit Ye Chen, but upon hearing the sound from the other side, he suddenly has to forcefully suppress his impulse and can't vent his anger anywhere except by jumping around in frustration, muttering between his teeth: "What kind of person are you, why do you keep humiliating me like this?! If you don't fear my real abilities, at least give an old man some face, considering your age and mine!"

Ye Chen sneered, "You're like a wild dog in the morning, barking at me and begging for my attention. I don't know who you are, but get out of my face!"

He then said, "Come on, introduce yourself to me. What's your name, what do they call you, where did you come from, and where are you going?"

I... Hong Tianxiu's fists were clenched with anger, his body trembling like a Parkinson's patient. He gritted his teeth and said, "My name is Hong Changqing! My Daoist name is Long Qing San Ren! Everyone in North America respects me as Hong Tianxiu!"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and looked him up and down, asking, "Is that you, Hong Tianxiu?"

Hong Changqing gritted his teeth and said, "That's right! I am Hong Tianxiu!"

Ye Chen chuckled, "Oh, well, others call me Ye Dashi, but you call me Hong Tianxiu. You're big and I'm small, and according to your logic, you're stronger than me."

Hong Changqing thought Ye Chen was still mocking him, his anger boiling over as he said, "Kid, you really are a sharp-tongued one! But I don't have the patience for your nonsense right now. I came here today to find Shizhen Qi, and I want him to come out and talk to me!"

Just then, Chen Xiaozhou rushed in.

As she ran, she told Ye Chen, "Ye Dashi, I've completed what you asked me to do."

Hong Changqing looked at Chen Xiaozhou and immediately demanded, "Girl! What about your grandfather? He said he was willing to bet on it yesterday, but now he's backing down like a turtle?"

Just then, Chen Xiaozhou snorted, "Old rascal, my grandfather isn't a turtle who withdraws! If you want to be like one, you should be the one sticking your head out and biting people!"

"You..." Hong Changqing's face turned iron red as he thought of Chen Xiaozhou's description. He shouted, "Fine! If Zhai Tianqi doesn't come out, I'll take down his sign myself!"

Ye Chen immediately stopped him, saying, "Hold it! You're such a stinky old guy, what are you doing coming to someone else's medical hall and trying to take down their sign? You're an outlaw, aren't you?"

Hong Changqing spoke coldly, "Zhai Tianqi has already handed over the Ji Sheng Tang to me yesterday. He agreed to lose or win, so why would he want to renege on his promise now?"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, don't you understand the law? This medical hall, including the building and decoration, even with the inside fixtures, costs at least a hundred thousand yuan. You're saying someone gave you something worth hundreds of thousands of yuan? That's illegal gambling!"

He then turned to Chen Xiaozhou and said, "Xiaozhou, let's call 110 now and see what the police have to say!"

Hong Changqing grew agitated, his foot tapping impatiently, "You... you're clearly being a deadbeat!" JrNovels.com
