Overbearing Immortal Doctor-Chapter 434: Causing Unnecessary Trouble
"The most powerful part of the Kunlun Hand lies in the latter half. Therefore, the current Kunlun Hand can only be considered a third-rate cultivation technique."
Zhang Dadan asked this question not to insult the Wu Family, but to gain a deeper understanding of Inner Sect Skills, just in case.
Upon learning that the Wu Family’s Kunlun Hand manual had its latter half missing, Zhang Dadan couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful.
He had sparred with Wu Hanqing and Wu Dabao before, clearly sensing that the Wu Family’s Kunlun Hand was much more formidable than Sunx Wei’s Canghe Skill.
Even so, the Wu Family’s Kunlun Hand was only a third-rate technique among the current Inner Sect Skills, indicating that those participating in the Warrior Conference were top-tier experts.
He was only at the Qi Refining Realm now, handling martial artists at the hidden force or Hua Realm was still manageable, but what if he encountered experts at the Embracing Pill or Gang Jin level?
It seemed that in the coming days, he had to train diligently; otherwise, attending the Warrior Conference would only make him a laughingstock, or worse, a corpse!
Of course, not attending the Warrior Conference was the most cautious approach, but Zhang Dadan’s curiosity about these Ancient Martial Families made him unwilling to give up the opportunity.
Seeing Zhang Dadan lost in thought, Wu Santong boldly spoke up: "Master Zhang, do you think... could you help treat Dabao now?"
"Uh? Well... I came in a rush this time, and forgot to bring medicine for your grandson. Tomorrow!" Zhang Dadan said awkwardly.
After all, having taken their money but not treating them on the spot was somewhat unjustifiable!
Upon hearing this, Wu Santong’s face twitched involuntarily, and he began to suspect Zhang Dadan of wanting to swindle money.
But Zhang Dadan’s skills were far superior to his own, and if he provoked a conflict rashly, he feared he would suffer!
Wu Dabao, in the prime of his youth, often flaunted his skills and bullied the weak, without much thought, furiously rebuked:
"Zhang Dadan, what do you mean? Taking our money but not treating me—do you think our Wu Family is easy to bully? You shameless fraud!"
Before Zhang Dadan could respond, Wu Santong hurriedly covered his mouth and admonished: "Dabao! Stop causing trouble. Master Zhang is certainly not a fraud!"
Zhang Dadan had called Wu Santong from home and inquired a lot of information, but he couldn’t treat his grandson, feeling a bit guilty initially.
But seeing Wu Dabao’s arrogant demeanor, his heart turned cold again. Why do people always doubt me?
Though young, I still look like a decent person; why are there so many unseeing fools?
Zhang Dadan pushed the bank card back towards Wu Santong and said: "How about you take this card back first?"
Seeing Zhang Dadan push the bank card back, Wu Santong’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked up at Zhang Dadan.
Seeing his calm expression, showing no emotion, he smiled awkwardly: "Master Zhang, what do you mean by this?"
"I called you out today mainly to ask about the Warrior Conference. I’ll come to the county again tomorrow to treat your grandson. Just take the money back for now!" Zhang Dadan said indifferently.
Having lived over half his life and hid for more than thirty years, Wu Santong considered himself adept in worldly matters. Seeing Zhang Dadan wanting to return the money, he didn’t accept it.
"Master Zhang, why the fuss? This money is your consultation fee. What difference does it make whether you collect it today or tomorrow!" Wu Santong smiled, pretending to be calm.
However, his ’naive’ grandson didn’t understand his intentions, grabbed the bank card, and provocatively said to Zhang Dadan:
"Since this is the consultation fee, return when you’ve treated my hand!"
Such arrogance clearly forgot how his hand was ruined and by whom!
Zhang Dadan was amused by his foolish act and said to Wu Santong: "Mr. Wu, you really have an enviable grandson!"
"You... you flatter me!" Wu Santong pinched his grandson’s arm, signaling him to return the card, but his grandson was very resolute.
Zhang Dadan shook his head, smiling, and said: "He’s still young and dumb, just let him be!"
"Uh?" Wu Santong looked at Zhang Dadan, puzzled, not understanding if he was really not offended or just being sarcastic.
Zhang Dadan, although having no good impression of Wu Dabao, didn’t care much about him; such people would always help him make money.
"Alright! I’m leaving, won’t keep you!" Zhang Dadan stood up and said to Wu Santong.
He had just turned to leave when Wu Santong quickly got up and escorted him out of the room.
Seeing Wu Santong being so respectful, he smiled and said: "Alright! I will cure your grandson; after all, no matter who I hold a grudge against, it’s never against money!"
After speaking, he stopped Wu Santong and went downstairs alone. As he reached the lobby, the restaurant owner hurried out from behind the counter to personally see Zhang Dadan off.
Leaving the restaurant, the sky was already dimming. Zhang Dadan initially planned to head straight back but received a call from Zhou Yong.
Zhou Yong first complained, blaming him for not directly contacting him when he arrived at the county and instead dining at another’s place. He then provided him with the new store’s address, insisting he come over for an inspection!
Though Zhang Dadan had entrusted the entire branch opening to Zhou Yong, Zhou Yong was a cautious person, never making decisions without Zhang Dadan’s approval.
With no choice, Zhang Dadan hailed a taxi to the busiest section of the county, the Central Plaza on Min. People’s Road.
Besides the shopping mall, the Central Plaza had many eateries, and the new store Zhou Yong chose was located on the left side of the mall, in an extremely eye-catching spot.
After double-checking the address, Zhang Dadan pushed open the door and entered. The interior decoration had mostly been torn down, appearing rundown, but with considerable space.
"Zhou Yong... Zhou Yong..." Zhang Dadan walked around the first floor, roughly estimating the area, and then called towards the second floor.
Resting in a private room on the second floor, Zhou Yong heard Zhang Dadan’s call and hurriedly got up, rushing downstairs.
Stopping at the staircase corner, Zhou Yong tidied his clothes and solemnly announced: "Welcome, Chairman, for inspection!"
"Chairman? Screw you! I think you want to become the general manager!" Zhang Dadan retorted, seeing Zhou’s formal demeanor.
Though both under twenty, they were making substantial daily profits and becoming chain restaurant owners, truly promising youths.
However, Zhou Yong didn’t let their achievements get to him; he acknowledged his success owed much to Zhang Dadan.
Thus, he positioned himself rightly, maintaining a close friendship with Zhang Dadan while adhering to his business decisions, never overstepping.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have insisted on Zhang Dadan inspecting the new store; he would have acted decisively himself!
Zhou Yong chuckled and waved at Zhang Dadan, saying: "Come upstairs; the first floor is already trashed, nothing much to see!"
Smiling wryly, Zhang Dadan walked up the steps, feeling a stark contrast when reaching the second floor of the shop.
