Chapter 707: Chapter 707: Just Love His Wildness
(First Update)
Yang Qingyin could not believe that Luo Ziling dared to be so bold in front of so many seniors.
However, after recalling that Luo Ziling had dared to get into a fight at Ling Jinhua’s ninetieth birthday celebration at the Ling Family Old Mansion, Yang Qingyin let it go.
If he dared to be so arrogant in front of Old Mr. Ling, then his behavior today really wasn’t anything out of the ordinary.
“It seems the Luo kid has the capital to be arrogant,” Gu Jian’an sneered coldly before commanding Gu Changwei, “Chang Wei, compare your acupuncture skill with the Luo kid and see whose grandson is more outstanding.”
“Old Sir Gu, have you got it wrong?” Luo Ziling looked at Gu Jian’an with surprise, “I don’t even want to compete with you, let alone your grandson. It doesn’t matter how my acupuncture skill is, as long as I can save lives like that patient of Teacher Wang Tongshan last time, that’s enough. So what if my acupuncture skill is outstanding? What if your skills are better? If the skill is not used for healing and saving people, what good is it?”
While saying this, Luo Ziling saw the anger on the faces of Gu Jian’an and Gu Changwei, but he also spotted the curious expression on Yang Qingyin’s face and quickly stopped speaking.
Seeing that a dispute was about to erupt between the two parties, Wu Hongwei hurriedly stood up to mediate: “Old Sir Gu, Mr. Gu, don’t be angry. It’s normal for young people to be a bit hot-tempered. Actually, I invited Ziling here in hopes of seeing an exchange between you all, with the goal of mutually enhancing medical skills and together promoting the development of traditional Huaxia medicine. Having heard the exchange between Old Sir Gu and Ziling, I understand that both of your medical skills are extraordinary, and I’m even more eager to witness your exquisite acupuncture skills. What I mean is, don’t compete for superiority in acupuncture skill, consider it an exchange, learn from each other, and improve together. Isn’t that a good thing?”
Teacher Wang Tongshan, looking quite embarrassed, also quickly stood up to agree, “Teacher Wu is right. It’s not about competing with each other, but about exchanging and improving our skills. Old Sir Gu, Mr. Gu, Ziling, I think if you all could sit down and exchange ideas calmly, it would be a wonderful thing, right?”
Yang Qingyin still remained silent, sitting quietly as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
Luo Ziling didn’t immediately answer them but glanced at Yang Qingyin, who just smiled faintly, still not saying much.
“Alright, then I’ll learn your acupuncture skill from you, Old Sir Gu, and Mr. Gu,” Luo Ziling finally did not refuse and agreed with a smile, but immediately he made a request, “But if my acupuncture skill surpasses Mr. Gu, what then? If my skill is even better than Old Mr. Gu, what then?”
Luo Ziling’s words shocked everyone present once again.
This kid really was arrogant, which was what everyone there was thinking, even Yang Qingyin felt the same. But Yang Qingyin enjoyed seeing Luo Ziling say such things with a slightly shy demeanor; at such times, Luo Ziling was as adorable as could be, irresistibly likable.
Gu Jian’an was naturally furious, but he understood that Luo Ziling’s brazen speech had a clear intention, which was to deny his status as the number one in acupuncture in Huaxia. Had he not known that Luo Ziling was the grandson of Luo Liansheng, he might have disregarded Luo Ziling’s words entirely and unceremoniously had Luo Ziling thrown out. But after learning that Luo Ziling was Luo Liansheng’s grandson, he was angry inside, yet he dared not ignore him.
Gu Jian’an had known Luo Liansheng for fifty years and the two had many grudges, including a rivalry over the same woman. However, ultimately, Luo Liansheng succeeded and Gu Jian’an failed.
Yet, in the grand scope of life, Gu Jian’an was successful, while Luo Liansheng, though not a failure, could not be considered entirely successful either.
Luo Liansheng’s aspirations were higher than Gu Jian’an’s, and he often acted impulsively; he never took Gu Jian’an as a rival, thus completely ignoring Gu Jian’an’s existence and challenges. Naturally, being belittled, Gu Jian’an held a grudge, which he never let go of.
Gu Jian’an certainly saw Luo Liansheng as a lifelong rival. After hearing from his good friend Wu Hongwei that a young man surnamed Luo had very good acupuncture skill, he thought this might be a descendant of Luo Liansheng.
Thus, he was eager to meet Luo Ziling and see his acupuncture skill, to understand what kind of life Luo Ziling had.
He felt he was doing quite well now, very successful in every way, while Luo Liansheng’s life was quite the opposite. If he could surpass someone from the Luo Family in acupuncture skill and lead a better life, then he would consider his life more splendid than Luo Liansheng’s and see himself as more successful than Sir Luo. Having been rivals for so many years, even though Luo Liansheng never regarded Gu Jian’an as a competitor, at least Gu Jian’an regarded Luo Liansheng as one for a lifetime.
If he could surpass someone from the Luo Family in all aspects, he could also vent the frustration of the past.
Not many people knew about the grudge between Gu Jian’an and Luo Liansheng. Mainly because, at that time, Gu Jian’an was not very prominent and Luo Liansheng did not take him seriously. Over the years, those who knew about the trivial matters between them either died or grew old, their memories faded, forgetting those events. Gu Jian’an naturally would not tell the younger generations about being disdained in the past, so the Gu Family members were unclear about the feud with Luo Liansheng.
Luo Ziling was also unaware of these matters; he had never heard his grandfather speak of Gu Jian’an, let alone knew that Old Gu’s reaction today was due to past grudges with Luo Liansheng, rather than genuinely for a competition of acupuncture skill or for the betterment of medical skills.

He was even more ignorant of the fact that the plaque hanging at the entrance of the National Medicine Expert clinic was a challenge to Luo Liansheng, or rather, an insult to him.
Luo Ziling also did not know that his bold words had touched a nerve in Gu Jian’an, making Old Gu explode with rage upon hearing them.
“You Luo brat, do you know what you’re talking about?” Gu Jian’an was so angry that his face turned slightly red, “Even your grandfather Sir Luo didn’t have the guts to say such things.”
“If I’m not mistaken, my grandfather never took you as his rival, otherwise he wouldn’t have failed to mention anything about you to me,” Luo Ziling completely disregarded Gu Jian’an’s anger and chuckled, “I think, in every aspect, my grandfather is more outstanding than you, which is why he ignored you, not considering you as a rival. The same goes for acupuncture skill; he never thought you were better than him.”
After saying this, Luo Ziling paused, then his smile faded, “If we compete in acupuncture skill and I win against both of you, how about you personally take down that plaque and smash it in public, how about that?”
Luo Ziling’s words once again shocked everyone in the room, and Gu Jian’an and Gu Changwei’s faces changed instantly.
