The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 811 - 807: The Tragic Fantasy of the Insignificant Character
Chapter 811: Chapter 807: The Tragic Fantasy of the Insignificant Character
Master, you must be tired from the journey.
Grand Ancestor, you must be tired from the journey.
What is this situation?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The heads of Zhang Chengye and others seemed to explode, their flattering smiles instantly froze on their faces. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing with their own eyes and hearing with their ears. How could Duan Nan and the others show such reverence towards a young practitioner of Chinese medicine? And the director of the Capital Military Region’s hospital actually addressed this young practitioner as Master? Was there anything in this world more bizarre than the scene in front of them?
If reality was a magnificent play, then Zhang Chengye and those who thought they were the protagonists had been spectacularly reversed by Ye Chenfeng, demoting them to the minor roles of the drama.
Standing next to Ye Chenfeng, Jiang Mengrong had her eyes wide with disbelief; she darted her gaze between Ye Chenfeng and Duan Nan along with the others. She could never imagine such a dramatic turn of events. She pinched her arm hard to make sure she wasn’t dreaming, the pain causing her to inhale sharply through her throat; only then was she certain that all of this was not a dream but reality.
"You really didn’t need to come to pick me up personally. How are things in Nangang now?" Ye Chenfeng, in response to Duan Nan and the others’ greetings, simply nodded casually. Since Duan Nan accepted him as master and Duan Tianrui and the others called him Grand Ancestor, these people were now his disciples. In front of his disciples, there was no need for fake politeness.
A smile appeared on Duan Nan’s tired face. "Master, now that you are in Nangang, how could I, as your disciple, not come to greet you in person?"
"Indeed, Grand Ancestor, it’s our duty to pick you up," said an incredibly proud Duan Tianrui following suit.
Standing next to Duan Tianrui, Fang Junda and the others also said something similar.
Ye Chenfeng could tell that not only Duan Nan’s words, but also the words of these five young people like Duan Tianrui, came from the heart. Since these people genuinely regarded him as their Master and Grand Ancestor, he didn’t mind teaching them some medical skills during his time in Nangang. So he casually remarked, "Since you all call me Master and Grand Ancestor, and we rarely meet, I will take some time to teach you some medical skills during my visit to Nangang. How much you can learn will depend on your own comprehension."
"Thank you, Master."
"Thank you, Grand Ancestor."
The faces of Duan Nan and the others flushed with excitement. They had personally witnessed the remarkable medical skills of Ye Chenfeng, so him offering to teach them was more thrilling than winning the lottery. They believed that with the guidance of Ye Chenfeng, their medical skills would surely reach new heights.
"Tianrui, this... this young practitioner of Chinese medicine is your Grand Ancestor?" Zhang Chengye, with sweat beading on his forehead and continuously swallowing saliva, finally couldn’t help but stammer out his question.
Hmm?
Hearing Zhang Chengye referring to Ye Chenfeng as a young practitioner of Chinese medicine, Duan Nan and the others’ gazes turned sharp when looking at him. Duan Tianrui recognized Zhang Chengye, whom he hadn’t paid attention to before, and said coldly, "Zhang Chengye, are we close friends? Please address me by my full name. And the person you’re calling a young practitioner of Chinese medicine is my grandfather’s Master, my Grand Ancestor. So watch your language."
"Tianrui, you know this person? In the future, don’t associate with these improper friends. What if you anger our Grand Ancestor?" Duan Nan sternly berated Duan Tianrui.
Duan Tianrui quickly turned to Ye Chenfeng and said, "Grand Ancestor, this person is not a friend of mine, we’ve only seen each other a few times. Has he offended you in any way?"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Duan Tianrui’s candid words made Zhang Chengye feel like his scalp was about to burst. Remembering how he had just bragged at the airport about his great relationship with Duan Tianrui, and thinking back on how he had boasted that Duan Nan and his party came for his sake, his face turned as red as a tomato. His pride and dignity were utterly shattered, and he wished he could immediately find a hole to crawl into. Of course, his hatred for Ye Chenfeng deepened in his heart.
As for Xu Ganghao, Guo Mingliang, and the other six male exchange students, after recovering from their initial extreme shock, their views of Zhang Chengye turned unfriendly, including Zhang Chengye’s two friends Xu Ganghao and Guo Mingliang. You see, this trip to Nangang was a matter that related to their future prospects.
Ye Chenfeng’s gaze fell upon Zhang Chengye and the other seven male exchange students as he casually said, "Duan Nan, these seven are not suitable for involvement in the Nangang infectious disease incident."
When Ye Chenfeng was that blunt, Duan Nan naturally understood that these seven had offended his master. He immediately spoke with a displeased tone, "You guys stay in Nangang for the night. After I contact the people in Capital City later, I’ll send you back to Capital City tomorrow."
Having said this, Duan Nan no longer paid attention to Zhang Chengye and the others, turning to speak to Ye Chenfeng, "Master, let’s hurry to the quarantine zone. Last night, our medical team was attacked by ninjas from the Island Nation. Nangang has been really restless these past few days."
Zhang Chengye’s face paled upon hearing Duan Nan’s words. He hastily interjected, "Elder Duan, I’m an expert in Taekwondo and Judo. As long as I’m present, I can absolutely guarantee your safety. It’s just a few insignificant ninjas from the Island Nation!" Zhang Chengye desperately tried to redeem his image.
Standing beside Duan Tianrui were Jiang Yumeng and Yi Siying, who looked at Zhang Chengye with disdain, especially Yi Siying, dressed provocatively and speaking without any inhibition, "You think you can stand against ninjas from the Island Nation? If you don’t wet your pants out of fear when you encounter them, you’ll already be doing well."
"Enough, let’s not chat here anymore. Master, let’s get on the vehicle," Duan Nan said to Ye Chenfeng.
Then, turning to Zhang Chengye and the rest, he instructed, "Outside the airport, there is a white bus. Go out and get on it."
Although feeling humiliated inside, Zhang Chengye and the others headed for the airport exit. Initially by Ye Chenfeng’s side, Jiang Mengrong saw that Ye Chen had not spoken a word. Biting her lip, she prepared to follow Zhang Chengye and the others outside to the bus.
However, at that moment, Ye Chenfeng’s voice reached her ears: "Sister, don’t you want to ride with us?"
"Of, of course not," Jiang Mengrong hastily replied with a flushed face, her heart racing, but then she thought of something. Even Duan Nan had to address Ye Chenfeng as Master, and people like Duan Tianrui had to call him Grand Ancestor. If she was Ye Chenfeng’s sister, wouldn’t that mean her status was higher than Duan Nan’s?
Therefore, Jiang Mengrong was frightened and quickly shook her head, saying, "Who is your sister? Just call me Mengrong from now on."
Ye Chenfeng knew Jiang Mengrong’s concerns and had a good impression of this straightforward woman, so he stopped teasing her and said, "Alright, then Mengrong, let’s hurry and get on the bus."
Called "Mengrong" by Ye Chenfeng, Jiang Mengrong’s neck and ears turned red instantly.
...
After Zhang Chengye and the others left the airport, they immediately saw a white bus outside and got on it with mixed feelings. By now, six of them inwardly blamed Zhang Chengye, never expecting that a humble practitioner of traditional medicine would have such an enormous background. They really had capsized in the gutter this time.
Zhang Chengye, of course, understood the thoughts of the others. He took several deep breaths; his family background might not compare to that of the Duans of Capital City, but the person in charge of the infectious disease incident in Nangang was his uncle, so the situation was not beyond salvage.
"I know you all blame me, but I can assure you that you can continue to stay in Nangang. Don’t forget, my uncle is in charge here in Nangang. I think that young guy is at most someone with a deeply-rooted family background, and Duan Nan and the others are just there to brown-nose him. I greatly scorn such behavior."
"Do you really think someone of that kid’s age could have superior medical skills? We are the genuine medical elites. Nangang needs us more for this incident. So, I will ask my uncle to intervene. There definitely won’t be any problems."
"And, isn’t it just that the kid has some backing? Since Duan Nan calls him Master, then let’s go with the flow and push him into the limelight. Let’s see if his mediocre medical skills can cure this infectious disease."
"Many times, dealing with people requires using your brain."
A sinister smile appeared on Zhang Chengye’s face, extremely pleased with his plan.
Upon hearing Zhang Chengye’s plan, the complaints in the hearts of the others gradually vanished. After all, they were now in the same boat as Zhang Chengye, and they had to rely on his uncle!
Sometimes, the fantasies of small-minded people are ridiculous. They imagine themselves as heroes and the real heroes as despicable villains. But in the end, who truly are the despicable villains? Reality will inevitably reveal the truth without any reservations.
