The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 676: The Skin is Really Thick

"Now you can kneel down, don’t forget the promise you just made. The disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect wouldn’t be so dishonorable, would they?" Sun Hengfei said, full of eagerness, after watching the middle-aged man walk down the mountain.

"Right, how did you all just slander my boss? You must kneel down and apologize to him," Qin Yi also said immediately after.

"Kneel down and apologize," Sun Xiaoli said with a cold face.

The disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect hadn’t recovered from what had just happened. The middle-aged man was clearly afflicted by poison reaching his heart, and even Elder Qian Wankai couldn’t treat him, so how could a young man have cured him? It felt like a dream to them.

How could these disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect willingly kneel down? As the saying goes, ’a man’s knees are golden’—there are some fools in this world who, knowing they can’t deliver, still absurdly make bets. When it comes to the crunch, they’ll use honor as an excuse. Would a truly dignified person be untrustworthy? And how did they treat Ye Chenfeng and the others just before? If Ye Chenfeng had lost, wouldn’t they have been even more arrogant? Surely they would have then demanded that Ye Chenfeng and his companions kneel and apologize, right?

Ye Chenfeng shrugged his shoulders, eyes fixed on Qian Wankai, and asked, "Shouldn’t you be kneeling and apologizing now?"

Seeing that Qian Wankai didn’t immediately respond, Sun Hengfei laughed and said, "If you don’t kneel and apologize, it’s the same as admitting you are cowards, that you have lost your manhood. You people live only to shame us men, unable to even keep your word. Tell me, do you still deserve to be called men?"

The gentle sunlight spilled down from the sky, yet this mild sunshine made Qian Wankai’s cheeks burn hot. He had just been promoted to an elder of the Ghost Doctor Sect, just started to enjoy being respected by others. How could he, a dignified elder, kneel down to several young people? Moreover, he wanted to obtain the needle technique that Ye Chenfeng had just used. By doing this, he would definitely be able to advance further among the elders of the Ghost Doctor Sect, particularly since the sect was renowned for its medical skills, which for its disciples were more important than combat prowess.

Qian Wankai’s face was dark and ugly as he said, "Boy, it’s better to do less than to meddle more. There’s no need to kneel. Can you bear all of us kneeling to you? Wouldn’t that be the same as humiliating our entire Ghost Doctor Sect? Do you really want to make an enemy of the whole sect?"

Qian Wankai had a profound ability to spout nonsense, suddenly bringing the entire Ghost Doctor Sect into the picture. If Ye Chenfeng and the others still insisted on them kneeling, it would be like offending the entire sect. If Qian Wankai and his followers then twisted right and wrong, regardless of some connection between the Ghost Doctor Sect and their own, it would probably avail them naught.

"Elder Qian is correct. It’s not that we don’t want to keep our promise, but we can’t dishonor our entire sect,"

"Right, so let’s just consider today’s matter closed. Wasn’t everyone just joking earlier?"

"Sun Hengfei, don’t push your luck. After all, this is the Ghost Doctor Sect’s place. Do you really want to strain relations to breaking point?"

...

After Qian Wankai was the first to speak, the other twenty-odd disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect also began to speak assertively.

"Now that this matter is resolved, let us resolve another matter," Qian Wankai spoke presumptuously, his gaze once again focusing on Ye Chenfeng, and he demanded, "Boy, where did you get that medical knowledge? It just occurred to me that the technique you used just now belongs to our Qian family’s stolen needle technique. No wonder it looked so familiar to me."

Qian Wankai looked serious and angry, as if he was making a legitimate point.

Qian Wankai indeed came from a family of medical experts. He joined the Ghost Doctor Sect later in life, and the Qian family also had some reputation in the vicinity, so all the disciples present knew of Qian Wankai’s background.

After Qian Wankai spoke, regardless of whether he was right or wrong, all the disciples present sided with him. Having just been embarrassed by Ye Chenfeng and the others, they were feeling particularly vexed.

Zhou Haosheng, being a clever disciple of Qian Wankai’s, saw his master speaking and immediately followed up, exclaiming, "You there, where did you get my master’s unique needle technique from the Qian family? Hand it over to my master this instant! Otherwise, you can forget about leaving the Ghost Doctor Sect today."

Ye Chenfeng looked coldly at Qian Wankai and the others, knowing that Qian Wankai was certainly coveting the needle technique he had just displayed.

Sun Hengfei saw that no one present was kneeling to apologize. Instead, they became even more arrogant, as if they coveted his brother Ye Chenfeng’s needle technique? This was simply the height of shamelessness.

"And you call yourself an elder of the Ghost Doctor Sect. Can you be any more shameless? You just want to get your hands on my brother’s needle technique, don’t you? Do you need to make up so many excuses? Fine, today we’ll go to the Sect Leader of the Ghost Doctor Sect for a fair judgment," Sun Hengfei said without backing down. He knew that once they met the Sect Leader of the Ghost Doctor Sect, and one of the three Ghost Doctor Sages, Tang Bosheng, these people wouldn’t be able to be so brash anymore.

"Sun Hengfei, watch your tone. My master is an elder of the Ghost Doctor Sect. Could he possibly make up lies? My master says that the needle technique this kid performed is our Qian family’s exclusive technique, so there must be no mistake," Zhou Haosheng was trying his best to show off in front of his master.

"What a good boot-licking dog," Ye Chenfeng looked at Zhou Haosheng indifferently and continued, "So according to you, everything your master says is right? If he says you are a pile of shit, does that make you a pile of shit? If he screws your mother and then claims it was you who did it, does it really become true that you did it?"

Zhou Haosheng’s face turned beet red from Ye Chenfeng’s words, struggling to retort but unable to come up with anything to say, his chest heaving violently.

"You sharp-tongued brat, are you forcing me to take action? Show me the needle technique you performed just now. If I’m wrong, I’ll apologize to you," Qian Wankai realized he couldn’t act too excessively, given some ties with the Ghost Doctor Sect. Even if he had to take action, he had to find a foolproof excuse.

So, Qian Wankai mentioned these hypothetical sentences because, once he got a look at the needle technique, he was very confident in his own memory.

But in case Ye Chenfeng and the others still insisted on being tough, he’d have an excuse to take action, and even if the Ghost Doctor Sect pursued the matter later, he could present his own justifiable arguments with dignity.

"You whelp, did you not hear what Elder Qian said? Elder Qian has the strength of the High Grade of Heaven Rank, you don’t want to make things unpleasant for yourself," one of the disciples said.

"Sun Hengfei, talk some sense into this reckless kid. Elder Qian just wants to look at his needle technique, and besides, if what he performed is indeed the Qian family’s exclusive technique, then this account needs to be settled properly. But if it’s not our Qian family’s exclusive technique, Elder Qian has already said that he’ll apologize," another disciple added.

...

Sun Hengfei and his companions listened to the disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect with disdainful smiles on their faces. Ye Chenfeng was capable of defeating even early-stage Innate Realm masters; what was a mere High Grade of Heaven Rank? In Ye Chenfeng’s presence, it probably counted for nothing.

Ye Chenfeng looked at Qian Wankai and said, "I’ll give you a chance. If you can take me down, I’ll let you see the needle technique."

"If you don’t appreciate kindness, you’ll have to face the consequences. I’ll let you see how formidable I am."

Seeing Ye Chenfeng refuse to recognize the situation, Qian Wankai knew he had to take action, especially since the needle technique Ye Chenfeng had performed was too tempting. His strength as High Grade of Heaven Rank surged, and he charged at Ye Chenfeng, reaching out to grab his arms.

Just at that moment.

When all the Ghost Doctor Sect disciples present believed Ye Chenfeng would definitely be seized by Elder Qian.

There was a crisp "snap!"

Ye Chenfeng casually flicked out his hand, moving so fast that Qian Wankai couldn’t react in time, and was slapped in the face by Ye Chenfeng. His left cheek was completely caved in, with blood pouring out, and he was sent flying like a swatted fly.

"This guy’s skin is really thick," Ye Chenfeng casually shook his hand and said. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
