  "Old principal? Ma Guantian?" Chen Fengyan's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Big brother, are you saying that Grandpa Ma wants to see you? He wants you to go find him?"

  "Yes, what's wrong?" Chen Qingdi raised an eyebrow, his mind racing with thoughts, and asked with a hint of arrogance and probing tone: "Could it be that Ma Guantian is some kind of extraordinary person or something?"

  In Chen Qingdi's received memories, there really wasn't a character named Ma Guantian. If he was indeed some kind of awesome character and the original Chen Dashao didn't know about it, then the two would absolutely not get along, they wouldn't even be able to pee in the same pot.

  It's probably not a good idea for Chen Qingdi to find someone like him either.

  But Chen Qingdi didn't know that the original Chen Dashao had hardly ever entered the school gate, and Ma Guantian was a high-ranking figure who appeared and disappeared without warning. Moreover, apart from racing cars, fighting dogs, and doing some domineering things, Chen Dashao didn't care about anything else.

  It's normal that Chen Dashao didn't know about Ma Guantian's existence either.

  "What a big shot!" Chen Fengran took a deep breath and said, "Master Ma is the Tai Shan Bei Dou of the traditional Chinese medicine world. Brother, don't you think he's a big shot?"

  "Oh, so fierce!" Chen Qingdi's mind moved and asked: "Feng Ran, I think you seem to be very familiar with him, are you close?"

  "I actually wanted to get along with him very well, but even if I wanted to see him once, it was extremely difficult." Chen Fengyan sighed and said: "It was just before that, when you were hospitalized, Master Ma came to treat you, and I had the good fortune to meet him then."

  "Did he treat you?" Seeing Chen Fengyan nod, Chen Qingdi raised an eyebrow and thought to himself: "It seems that Ma Guantian's medical skills are not great either. Chen Dashao, who was treated by him, died early."

  "Big brother, Master Ma wants to see you, you must be careful." Chen Fengyan took a deep breath and whispered: "I have a premonition that it will definitely not be anything good."

  "Huh, why? Can someone with the surname Ma still eat me up?" Chen Qingdi had a nonchalant expression, but he was listening intently.

  "It's actually quite simple, Master Ma's medical skills are indeed formidable, and he has unparalleled prestige in the traditional Chinese medicine community. The various family forces also have utmost respect for him, and dare not offend him." Chen Fengyan paused for a moment before explaining: "After all, who can guarantee that they will never fall ill? With Master Ma around, it's equivalent to having an extra life, or even multiple lives."

  "Hmm, what you said is quite right." Chen Qingdi nodded in agreement.

  In the Xiu Zhen realm, Chen Qingdi's cultivation was not impressive and only average, but he was a master of alchemy, equipment refinement, talisman crafting, array techniques... and other miscellaneous skills, so no one dared to offend him easily.

  What Chen Fengyan said is the same truth, in the world of Xiuzhen where the weak are preyed upon by the strong, who can guarantee that they will always stand undefeated? Never get seriously injured again and never need to use healing pellets?

  The elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, and array methods refined by Chen Qingdi are life-saving treasures that can be used at critical moments. Who would dare to offend him when they're not tired of living?

  "People like Master Ma often have very eccentric temperaments, I've heard...” Chen Fengyan's voice dropped even lower, “I've heard that Master Ma is extremely stubborn and can't stand those spoiled rich kids. And you, big brother, are the number one spoiled rich kid in the entire city, the epitome of existence.”

  "Big brother, think about it, Old Man Ma looking for you can't be a good thing?" Chen Feng said with a worried face: "Big brother, when you go to see Old Man Ma, you must be careful."

  With Chen Fengran's understanding of Chen Dashao's temperament, he naturally knew that Chen Dashao had always been proud of being the first to take risks. Chen Fengran also knew that the more others didn't dare to provoke someone, the more Chen Dashao would like to challenge them and even offend them to death.

  Just as Chen Fengyan said now, when Chen Qingdi meets Ma Guantian, he must be careful. If it were the original Chen Dashao, the more Chen Fengyan would say so, the more Chen Dashao would become reckless and arrogant, provoking and offending to the end.

  It seems like Chen Feng is concerned about Chen Qingdi, but in fact, he is actually framing Chen Qingdi.

  In the past, Chen Fengyan had never failed with this seemingly caring move to trick Chen Qingdi. It's just that the original Chen Dashi still thought that Chen Fengyan was concerned about him and hadn't turned around yet.

  Every time Chen Da Shao offends someone he shouldn't have, Chen Feng Ran would jump out and say: "Big brother, I told you so, don't offend people, but you never listen..." and so on.

  In the end, Chen Dashao was still grateful and always thought that Chen Fengran was doing it for his own good.

  "Alright, I know." Chen Qingdi waved his hand and said loudly: "You go ahead with your business, I'll be right back. What's the big deal about an old man like Ma? Do you think I'm afraid of him?"

  "Why did Ma Guantian want to meet Chen Qingdi, this useless person? Does this useless person have extraordinary talent in traditional Chinese medicine?" Seeing Chen Qingdi leave, Chen Fengran slightly furrowed his brow and thought to himself: "Chen Qingdi's contact with traditional Chinese medicine started after he was discharged from the hospital, when I took him to the library."

  "After he was discharged from the hospital, there were rumors that his thing didn't work anymore. I also secretly investigated and found out that during his hospital stay, some female nurses had tried to get close to him, but he kicked them all away. Given his personality, this kind of thing would never have happened if he was normal."

  "Rumors are not born out of thin air."

  "After that, he bought a large quantity of Chinese herbal medicine, including some whips. Not only that, but also treated inferior aphrodisiac fruits as treasures."

  "This also further confirms that his thing is no longer working."

  "This proved that, then let's talk about the Chinese medicine aspect. His purchase of a large quantity of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs could not escape his father's notice. However, his father did not show up and did not stop him, letting him do as he pleased."

  "If nothing unexpected happens, Father should have found out which Chinese herbal medicines Chen Qingdi bought and even the order in which they were purchased. Then, he would have invited Ma Guantian to come and finally obtained his acknowledgment, only then would it be like this."

  "After Chen Qingdi bought a large amount of Chinese herbal medicine, he stayed in his room all the time, personally decocting the medicine. Every time I passed by his room, I could smell the aroma of Chinese medicine. After a month, it seemed that his thing was cured." As soon as this thought occurred to him, a murderous intent flashed across Chen Feng's eyes.

  Chen Qingdi's gaze at Lin Jingrou was forever a pain in Chen Fengyan's heart.

  "Moreover, without mentioning whether he cured the thing or not, just from the fact that he cured Xiao Hei, it can be seen that there is a problem. Even if he was lucky and cured Xiao Hei, it still proves that he really understands traditional Chinese medicine. And I also got it out of Xiang Xiang's mouth that he even knows acupuncture." Chen Fengyan took a deep breath, his pupils shrinking into sharp needle-like shapes, "What's even more terrifying is that this waste only flipped through an hour of traditional Chinese medicinal books and had never come into contact with them before."

  "Now, before school starts, both his father and mother called him to make sure he comes to school for registration. As soon as he arrived at school, he was summoned away by Ma Guantian, who had suddenly appeared."

  "His cell phone was bought by me, and the number is only known to family members, not even Yuan Pangzi knows. Ma Guantian can know, it must be from Dad or Mom."

  "Ma Guantian, the Tai Shan Bei Dou of the Chinese medicine world, can pay attention to Chen Qingdi, can take the initiative to ask for Chen Qingdi's phone number, and even take the initiative to meet Chen Qingdi. It should be that Chen Qingdi has some innate talent in Chinese medicine, plus my dad's face-saving reason."

  It is undeniable that Chen Fengran's analysis was 99% correct, as if he had witnessed the entire process. The only thing is that there was one point where his analysis was not quite accurate.

  That's it...

  Ma Guantian wants to meet Chen Qingdi, but has no relationship with Chen Zhenhua at all.

  Of course, this can't be blamed on Chen Fengyan, it can only be said that he doesn't understand Ma Guantian's temperament well enough, his understanding is very superficial.

  This is one point that cannot be denied about Chen Feng's intelligence and heart.

  To say nothing of other things, from Chen Fengyan daring to collaborate with Lü's family genius Lü Bufan in order to plot against Chen Qingdi, one can already see a thing or two.

  Among the various family forces in the entire city, there are not many young people who dare to fight with Lü Bufan. Who doesn't know that cooperating with Lü Bufan is like plotting with a tiger for its skin, asking for death.

  But Chen Fengran has such charm.

  More importantly, Chen Fengyan is only seventeen years old now. If given some time to temper and accumulate experience, he will surely become a formidable figure.

  "I never thought that Chen Qingdi, this waste, would have a talent for traditional Chinese medicine. If he's really been favored by Ma Guantian, all my previous efforts will be in vain. However... Chen Fengyan, feeling threatened, had a glint of cold light in his eyes, 'Fortunately, I understand the nature of this waste, the more I make him cautious, the more he'll react against me.'"

  "As long as Chen Qingdi, this waste, offends Ma Guantian to death, even if he has some talent, even if it's my father who intervenes, the outcome will be doomed and irreversible." Chen Fengyan clenched his fists tightly, a cold hum in his heart, "The position of the Chen family master is mine, Chen Fengyan's. Chen Qingdi is not qualified, and no one can stop me from replacing him."

  "The only threat, the obstacle, is that old thing that has always been shielding Chen Qingdi." A fierce glint flashed in Chen Feng's eyes.

  At the same time, Chen Qingdi finally found Principal Ma Guantian's office after asking for directions and withstanding the strange looks from other students.

  There's no way that Chen Qingdi received any memory of the Chinese Medicine Hospital, let alone knowing who Ma Guantian is or what his office looks like.

  "The university is really big, and the principal's office is also very impressive. I got lost several times trying to find it." Chen Qingdi wiped away the sweat on his forehead and knocked on the door of Ma Guantian's office.
