The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 412: The Apprentice Arrives

In the Yes’ living room, Duan Nan, the director of the Capital Military Region’s hospital, made a visit. After all, Duan Nan had taken Ye Chenfeng as his master, and it was only right for him to pay a visit to his teacher. Moreover, he had another matter to discuss with Ye Chenfeng on this visit to the Yes.

Ye Zhenhong, Duan Nan, and Ye Chenfeng were seated separately on the sofa at the Yes’, and Ye Zhenhong asked, "Old Nan, how do you have time to visit the Yes today? You old man are always immersed in Medical Skills; I suppose you wouldn’t come to visit without a reason, right?"

"Zhenhong, how can you say something so unpleasant? After all, I am Chenfeng’s disciple, what’s so strange about a disciple visiting his teacher?" Duan Nan said seriously, with no trace of embarrassment on his face.

"Old Nan, aren’t you causing a fuss over nothing? You and I are peers. Last time, Chenfeng just casually agreed to it, and you took it seriously? If you want to consult Chenfeng on Medical Skills in the future, just go ahead and ask; perhaps there’s no need for this title of master and disciple?" Ye Zhenhong and Duan Nan had been old friends for many years, and he didn’t want to see Duan Nan embarrassed.

However, not a bit of embarrassment was in old Duan Nan’s heart. On the contrary, he believed becoming Ye Chenfeng’s disciple was a great honor. After all, who in the world had better Medical Skills than Ye Chenfeng? At least Duan Nan hadn’t seen one, Ye Chenfeng’s Medical Skills were divine, being his master was more than enough.

With a serious face, Duan Nan said, "Zhenhong, you are mistaken. ’Once a teacher, always a father.’ The medical documents Chenfeng organized for me last time were incredibly useful. Since Chenfeng has already imparted Medical Skills to me, how can I, Duan Nan, be ungrateful? Chenfeng will always be my master."

Then, Duan Nan turned his gaze to Ye Chenfeng and said, "Master, please continue to guide me in Medical Skills in the future. Your disciple will learn from you with an open heart."

Ye Chenfeng, seeing old Duan Nan treat him with such respect, calling him ’master’ here and there, felt somewhat awkward inside. He casually said, "It’s better to listen to my grandfather! You don’t have to call me master. If there’s anything I can help you with in the future, I won’t keep it to myself."

Duan Nan vehemently objected with an excited face, "Master, how can this be right? In my lifetime, I have never admired anyone for their Medical Skills until I met you, Master. Only then did I realize what ’the sea of learning is boundless’ means, and what a true Divine Doctor is. I, Duan Nan, have recognized you as my master."

Seeing old Duan Nan’s insistent demeanor made Ye Zhenhong’s facial muscles twitch, he sighed and said, "Chenfeng, Old Nan is stubborn. Once he decides something, not even ten bulls could pull him back. It seems that you have to accept this disciple; you might as well stop overthinking it and just acknowledge him."

"Master, Zhenhong is right! If you ever need my help in the future, I, Duan Nan, will definitely not refuse," Duan Nan assured earnestly.

Indeed, the relationship of seniority was quite muddled. Duan Nan and Ye Zhenhong were peers, with Duan Nan addressing Ye Zhenhong as Zhenhong, and Ye Chenfeng was Ye Zhenhong’s grandson, calling Ye Zhenhong ’Grandfather’. Ultimately, as Ye Chenfeng’s disciple, Duan Nan had to add the title of ’Master’. This web of relationships was indeed complicated.

"Alright, Old Nan, tell us what you came to the Yes for today, will you? I can’t believe you just came to see Chenfeng, your master. Speak up if you have something to say," Ye Zhenhong understood his old friend Duan Nan quite well.

With a "hehe" chuckle, Duan Nan said, "You really can’t hide anything from you, Zhenhong! Actually, I came today to..."

Duan Nan then explained the matter in great detail. It turned out that there was an international medical exchange event taking place the day after tomorrow in Capital City, and Duan Nan wanted to invite Ye Chenfeng to observe. If Ye Chenfeng could lend a hand, it would be even better.

The international medical exchange competition is very famous worldwide, held every ten years, with each event being hosted by a different country, and this time it is set in Capital City of Huaxia Country.

Many international medical authorities will attend; they represent the face of their country’s medical community. The nations participating in this exchange include Country M and the Island Nation. Each session of the international medical exchange can only accommodate the authorities from three countries. This time, the selected countries are Huaxia Country, Country M, and the Island Nation, while medical experts from other nations will also travel to Capital City to observe the event.

After all, with so many countries worldwide, if every medical authority were to participate in the international medical exchange, the competition would go on forever, which is simply unrealistic.

After listening to Duan Nan’s narration, Ye Chenfeng spoke, "I have no interest in participating in this international medical exchange competition. However, I can join you to observe the event."

Duan Nan had long anticipated such a decision from Ye Chenfeng, and his face showed no disappointment. He was satisfied as long as Ye Chenfeng agreed to observe the competition, because during the two-day event, Duan Nan would have the opportunity to consult with Ye Chenfeng on medical knowledge.

"Master, you’ve agreed to observe this medical exchange competition? That’s fantastic. It’s just a pity that you’re not willing to participate. If you did, the first prize of this international medical exchange would surely belong to our Huaxia Country," Duan Nan said, smiling.

"Old Nan, don’t make it difficult for Chenfeng," Ye Zhenhong looked at Duan Nan and continued, "Chenfeng’s exceptional medical skills aren’t widely known in Capital City yet. If he were to participate in this competition, he would surely be thrust into the whirlwind of attention, both here and nationwide. It’s better that he doesn’t seek the limelight. Besides, aren’t you always convinced of your unrivaled medical skills? With your ability, defeating the authorities from Country M and the Island Nation shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

"How am I making things difficult for Chenfeng?" Duan Nan retorted earnestly, "Zhenhong, don’t talk nonsense. Chenfeng is my master, and since ancient times, only masters have had the right to challenge their disciples, not the other way around. It would be completely unfilial for a disciple to trouble his master. I, Duan Nan, would never do such a thing. If the master decides not to attend the international medical exchange competition, I won’t utter a single word of complaint."

"Old Nan, are you really being serious with me?" Ye Zhenhong joked, "Since Chenfeng has agreed to go and observe the competition with you, I have no objections. By rights, if you call Chenfeng ’Master,’ what should you call me? My seniority is much greater than yours."

"Zhenhong, my master is my master, and you are you. Don’t try to take advantage of me. If your medical skills are even more impressive than my master’s, I wouldn’t mind acknowledging you as my senior," Duan Nan replied with his pride evident. The only reason this haughty old man had humbled himself to become Ye Chenfeng’s disciple was that Ye Chenfeng’s displayed medical skills had deeply impressed him.

"Alright, is there anything else? When it’s time for the international medical exchange competition to start, come and pick me up. I have to step out for a bit now," Ye Chenfeng said as he stood up and walked out of the living room.

As Duan Nan watched Ye Chenfeng’s departing figure, he sighed, "Zhenhong, do you know what the most successful thing in your life is? It’s that you have a grandson like Chenfeng, truly the envy of many!"

"Old Nan, I never expected Chenfeng to grow this much. Even a stubborn old man like you has thick-skinned enough to take him as your master. It seems that the Ye family will certainly reach new heights with Chenfeng in charge," Ye Zhenhong sighed contentedly.

"Zhenhong, I seldom visit the Yes. Why don’t the two of us have a few drinks? It’s been a long time since we’ve drunk together, and with such a fine grandson as yours, and such a fine master as mine, we should both have a celebration," Duan Nan suggested in high spirits.

"Fine, we’ll drink. Since when have I ever been afraid of you? Don’t forget who used to crawl under the table when we drank together. With your tolerance, you really can’t hold your liquor in my presence," Ye Zhenhong said with a chuckle. (To be continued.
