339: Chapter 339: Two Outstanding n 339: Chapter 339: Two Outstanding n The Royal Mansion Hotel is the most luxurious and impressive hotel near Donglin First Hospital, and it is second to none in terms of grandeur in Donglin City.
The architectural style is based on the ancient royal mansions, complented with so modern elents, creating an exceedingly splendid and regal atmosphere.
Stepping inside, one feels as if they have entered a royal mansion itself.
Especially at night, under the modern neon lights, the hotel appears even more majestic.
Following Rao Yuanzhen into the Royal Mansion Hotel, Tangyu couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly.
So people really know how to live a lavish life, even choosing such upscale venues just for a al.
But what does it matter to him?
After all, it wasn’t costing him anything.
It wasn’t long before Rao Yuanzhen stopped in front of a private room and waited for Tangyu to catch up before pushing open the door and gesturing for him to enter.
As Tangyu walked in, he saw Rao Yuanzhi approaching with a refined and elegant smile, greeting Tangyu with clasped hands and an ancient salute, “Brother Tangyu, I apologize for not coming to et you in person.”
Tangyu wasn’t particularly bothered by Rao Yuanzhi’s overfamiliarity.
Rao Yuanzhi was outstanding in various aspects, so his words didn’t co off as off-putting or insincere.
As to whether Rao Yuanzhi was putting on airs, Tangyu couldn’t be less concerned.
Whether he was or wasn’t, it had nothing to do with him.
“No need for formalities, didn’t soone co to pick up?” Tangyu said with a smile.
“Please, co inside,” Rao Yuanzhi replied without further ado, making another inviting gesture.
The three of them quickly took their seats.
In front of Rao Yuanzhi, Rao Yuanzhen was like a well-behaved younger brother, sitting quietly to the side, his arrogance subdued.
Or rather, Rao Yuanzhi’s sharp presence completely overshadowed Rao Yuanzhen’s edge.
It wasn’t that Rao Yuanzhen wasn’t outstanding, but Rao Yuanzhi was simply too exceptional.
Hence, when the two were together, people naturally tended to overlook Rao Yuanzhen.
The table was already filled with dishes and several bottles of wine, the tea in the cups steaming hot.
It was clear that Rao Yuanzhi was well-prepared, so there was no need to waste ti on this account.
“Heh, I didn’t know what dishes you prefer, Brother Tangyu, so I took the liberty of ordering a few.
Take a look and see if there’s anything else to your liking, and we can order more,” Rao Yuanzhi said with a smile.
“No need, we won’t even be able to finish all these dishes.
I’m not picky about food,” Tangyu replied with a smile, noting the table boasting more than a dozen dishes.
Rao Yuanzhi glanced at Rao Yuanzhen, who imdiately understood the cue, and quickly opened a bottle of wine called Emperor and proactively poured Tangyu a full glass.
“Brother Tangyu, I took the liberty of inviting you over for a casual al today.
Thank you for honoring us with your presence.
This first glass is to you,” Rao Yuanzhi said, lifting his glass.
“You’re too kind, Brother Yuanzhi.
We’re about the sa age; let’s keep it casual among young people,” Tangyu also raised his glass, more than happy to make a friend like Rao Yuanzhi.
Tangyu’s response put Rao Yuanzhi at ease, knowing that Tangyu wasn’t the kind of person to keep others at arm’s length.
Naturally, the atmosphere beca much more relaxed.
After putting down the glass, Tangyu smacked his lips and remarked, “Nice wine.”
Rao Yuanzhi nodded and smiled, “It seems that Brother Tangyu is a connoisseur.
This Emperor wine is the signature here, and you might say it’s one-of-a-kind.
It’s said that the Emperor Hotel started as a small winery three hundred years ago and has developed to this day.
And this Emperor wine is produced by that winery, a tradition that has continued to the present.
Indeed, the wine is quite special, hence it beca a lively signature of the Emperor Hotel.”
Tangyu puckered his lips; this made the wine sound expensive.
But since soone else was treating, he didn’t hesitate to enjoy it.
“Tangyu, I apologize for yesterday’s incident.
I respect your dical skills, and this glass is in your honor,” Rao Yuanzhen finally brushed off the gloom of the previous day and offered a toast to Tangyu.
Tangyu smiled, not dwelling on the events of yesterday.
It was perhaps ‘No fight, no friendship.’ Despite their inherent pride, the Rao brothers were decent people.
The Holy Doctor Sect deserved the ‘Saint’ in its na; at least they had always been strict in screening the character of their disciples.
After all, being from the Holy Doctor Sect did not an that your dical skills alone could earn you the title of Saint.
No matter how skilled you were, you might claim dominion or kingship, but you could never claim sainthood.
‘Saint’ in ancient Huaxia had a sacred connotation, denoting a person whose virtues were rembered throughout the ages.
The Holy Doctor Sect earned its title because its entire Sect was based on restraining their disciples with saintly virtues.
Of course, after so many years, the restrainthood had inevitably declined.
However, the Rao siblings were jewels of the Holy Doctor Sect, so their character surely wasn’t lacking.
Rao Yuanzhi tacitly skipped over any controversial topics, and aside from drinking, they chatted casually about trifles, helping to lighten the mood.
Consequently, the al was quite relaxed and pleasant, akin to a gathering among friends.
For over an hour, the three of them finished off three bottles of wine, barely touching the abundant spread.
When it ca to eating, Rao Yuanzhi and his brother clearly lacked prowess.
Although Tangyu could eat a bit, the dishes were too plentiful, and he could only sample a bit of each.
It had to be said that the flavors here were indeed distinctive and quite good.
With bellies full of wine and food and checking the ti, Tangyu spoke up, “Thank you for the generous hospitality, Brother Yuanzhi.
Just say what you need to; I have classes this afternoon.
We’re no strangers now, so let’s cut to the chase, shall we?”
Rao Yuanzhi nodded and replied with a smile, “Brother Tangyu is indeed straightforward.
It’s truly fortunate to make the acquaintance of an outstanding person like you.
I believe you already know why I invited you here today.
I’ll just speak frankly—I am indeed a third-generation disciple of the Holy Doctor Sect, and my father is the second disciple of the current Sect Leader of the Holy Doctor Sect.”
Tangyu smiled, “As I suspected.
I didn’t expect the Holy Doctor Sect to be involved in worldly affairs, let alone to have opened such a major hospital here in Donglin City.”
“Yes, the Holy Doctor Sect used to remain hidden from the world, so very few people knew of its existence.
It wasn’t until twenty years ago that the Sect Leader allowed so of his outstanding disciples to enter the world with their families.
Actually, in addition to Donglin City, there are mbers of our Holy Doctor Sect in several other major cities.
Although we have stepped into society, no one knows our identity; it is absolutely confidential.
As for why we have entered the world, I won’t go into detail about that.
I believe the Sect Leader has his reasons,” Rao Yuanzhi said.
By stepping into the world, the Holy Doctor Sect had indeed broken a millennia-old holy rule.
Tangyu felt so admiration in his heart for the great master he had never t.
Tis were changing, everything was changing.
Rules were for the dead, but people were alive.
Only by adapting could they be more flexible.
Otherwise, there was the potential for the Holy Doctor Sect’s lineage to be cut off one day.
Only by pushing the Holy Doctor Sect out into the world like this could they ensure a continuous foundation, and also earn more money to take in more disciples and glorify the practice of holy dicine.
Actually, Tangyu quite approved of this approach.
But so things were just too decayed.
Many things had gradually withered and were even on the brink of extinction because of such decay.
Like the National Arts of Huaxia Country, like traditional Chinese dicine.
Tangyu had never harbored the ambition or desire to glorify traditional Chinese dicine, but he still hoped soone would do so, as he loved it dearly.
“I am a second-generation disciple of the Ghost Doctor Sect, and my master is the Ghost Doctor,” Tangyu confessed frankly.
Rao Yuanzhi had long guessed this, but hearing Tangyu admit it himself, he nodded, “The Ghost Doctor of the previous generation was unfathomable, his dical skills superb.
I have always held great respect for the Ghost Doctor.
He and our Holy Doctor Sect Leader are contemporaries, and by generational ranking, I would have to address you as ‘Uncle-Master.'”
Tangyu laughed, “Let’s dispense with ‘Uncle-Master.’ I am not even as old as you.
Your Holy Doctor Sect is your Holy Doctor Sect, and my Ghost Doctor Sect is the Ghost Doctor Sect; we need not concern ourselves with these details.”
“The Immortal Finger Technique is a holy study of the dical path, and it is also the sacred learning that all of us who study dicine aspire to.
The unique skills of the Ghost Doctor Sect are nurous, each more unfathomable than the last, truly enviable.
Brother Tangyu is a young talent of his generation, and your dical accomplishnts are highly admirable.
Seeing you, Brother Tangyu, I’m quite eager.
Is there a chance I could have the honor to witness your Immortal Finger Technique?” Rao Yuanzhi asked.
“Now?” Tangyu frowned slightly.
He rarely used the Immortal Finger Technique lightly and certainly didn’t want to perform it as a show for soone else.
“No need for now.
Whenever you are free, Brother Tangyu, you could co to Donglin Hospital to work, and then, please teach a few moves,” Rao Yuanzhi requested.
Tangyu’s frown eased.
So it all ca down to a sparring exchange; a straight request would have sufficed.
Rao Yuanzhi was indeed very outstanding, arguably the most outstanding disciple of the third generation of the Holy Doctor Sect.
But Tangyu was also excellent, the undisputedly most talented second-generation disciple of the Ghost Doctor Sect, and although he was the only second-generation disciple, he still was the best.
When two such outstanding n ca together, it was only natural for sparks to fly.
“Brother Yuanzhi, may I ask you a question?” Tangyu asked seriously.
Rao Yuanzhi imdiately nodded, “Of course.
Brother Tangyu, please feel free to ask anything you wish, I shall answer to the best of my knowledge.”
“Do you know of the Yin dical Sect?” Tangyu asked tentatively.
Upon hearing Yin dical Sect, Rao Yuanzhi’s brows imdiately furrowed, “Of course I know.
I’ve heard about the Yin dical Sect from my father.”
“Then what is your stance toward the Yin dical Sect?” Tangyu asked again.
“Stance?” Rao Yuanzhi was montarily taken aback, then replied with a serious expression, “Our Holy Doctor Sect has always taken it as our duty to uphold the orthodoxy of the dical path in the world.
If those of the Yin Sect, such wicked factions, dare to erge and harm the people, our Holy Doctor Sect will surely feel morally obliged to eradicate the Yin dical Sect.
At the very least, personally, I view the Yin dical Sect with disdain.
Brother Tangyu, why do you bring this up?
Could it be that you have discovered traces of the Yin dical Sect?”
Tangyu nodded, his esteem for Rao Yuanzhi growing.
He could tell Rao Yuanzhi was being sincere.
He shared a similar animosity toward the Yin dical Sect, “Yes, I believe that the Yin dical Sect has a significant presence here in Donglin City.”
“Oh?
How so?” Rao Yuanzhi looked intrigued.
“I have encountered them several tis.
I’ve dealt so heavy blows that I thought rare few in the world could cure, but they were quickly redied.
Therefore, I suspect soone from the Yin dical Sect is involved,” Tangyu stated succinctly.
Rao Yuanzhi furrowed his brows, “Is that all?
It’s been thirty years without any news of the Yin dical Sect.
Although there are few high-level dical practitioners among the various sects, so small, reclusive sects also have their experts.
There are also formidable sects in Miaojiang.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be the Yin dical Sect, right?”
Tangyu took out a packet of poison and placed it on the table.
Rao Yuanzhi’s frown deepened as he was puzzled by Tangyu’s intentions.
