Wang Shengshou was truly angry.
Thus, when he delivered the slap, it was particularly crisp, startling everyone present.
Wang Xuebin was even more stunned by the blow.
He clutched his swollen cheek and looked at Wang Shengshou in disbelief, asking, "Master, what are you doing?"
Wang Shengshou replied furiously, "How dare you ask me that!"
"You slandered your grand-master, and I slapped you. Isn't that what you deserve!"
"Grand-master?" Wang Xuebin was bewildered.
"What grand-master? No, Master, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all."
Wang Shengshou pointed at Wu Tian beside him and declared loudly, "Wu Tian is my master, and he taught me the complete Lieyang Needle Technique!"
"If you say he doesn't know the Lieyang Needle Technique, then who else would!"
"Ah?!"
Wang Xuebin's mouth gaped as if it could swallow an egg.
He said incredulously, "No way, Master, are you joking with me?"
"He's your master?"
"This, how is this possible!"
This doubt was not exclusive to Wang Xuebin; everyone else present also found it unbelievable.
In their minds, Wang Shengshou was a top-tier physician!
How could such a young Wu Tian be his master?
Seeing Wang Xuebin's inability to explain, and fearing that Wu Tian might be offended, Wang Shengshou immediately kicked him, roaring, "Don't talk so much to me, kneel down first!"
"If you don't kneel down today, you can forget about being the director anymore!"
Wang Xuebin's body trembled with fear.
The others might be forgivable, but the position of director was his capital for showing off!
No matter what, he couldn't lose this position!
Therefore, even though he was unwilling in his heart, he could only obediently kneel down.
The people nearby asked curiously, "Wang Shengshou, can you explain this to us?"
"This young man is clearly just a village doctor!"
"But you are a renowned old doctor. How could he possibly be qualified to be your teacher?"
Wang Shengshou snorted and said, "What do you people know? My master is simply indifferent to fame and fortune."
"Let me tell you, my master is not just a village doctor, but also the honorary dean of our hospital!"
"No way?" Everyone disbelieved.
The most shocked person was undoubtedly Wang Xuebin.
His eyes seemed about to burst, and he stammered, "Master, could he be the contestant from the Southern Regional competition?!"
Wang Shengshou snorted, "What do you think?"
"A brat like you, trying to pick a fight with him, what is that if not courting death!"
Wang Xuebin was speechless.
He knew that the hospital had gained an honorary dean who had stood out among many geniuses and taken the championship.
But he never dreamed that!
That legendary figure would be Wu Tian!
The overwhelming shock almost suffocated him.
He knew very well what the consequences of offending Wu Tian would be.
This was an honorary dean; with a single word from Wu Tian, he would no longer be able to stay in the hospital!
At this moment, he dared not utter any more doubts, trembling all over as he looked at Wu Tian and said, "G-grand-master, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
"I was blind and didn't recognize your eminence. I know I was wrong."
"It was just a moment of confusion. I'm usually not like this. Please forgive me, I beg you."
Seeing the once arrogant Wang Xuebin now so terrified of Wu Tian, everyone found the atmosphere particularly strange.
Facing Wang Xuebin's fear, Wu Tian said coldly, "Now you know to be afraid?"
"I clearly warned you earlier, but why wouldn't you listen to me?"
Wang Xuebin said fearfully, "This... I... I couldn't help it. Who knew you were so..."
"Who knew my identity was more formidable than you imagined?" Wu Tian said, "What's wrong with being a village doctor, and what's wrong with being a medical director? Can you look down on people just because of that?"
"If you're like this as a director, imagine if you became a dean, you'd be unstoppable!"
Wang Xuebin said tremblingly, "I didn't! I... I was just confused."
"Please spare me, I beg you."
Wu Tian waved his hand and said, "Don't tell me these things. I am not your master. Your master will deal with your issues."
After speaking, he looked at Wang Shengshou and added, "Wang Shengshou, handle it however you see fit. I won't say a word."
Wang Shengshou was actually quite satisfied with Wang Xuebin.
Although Wang Xuebin wasn't an exceptionally talented genius, he couldn't teach such a genius either, could he?
If it were some minor issues, it would be one thing, but this time, Wang Xuebin had caused too much trouble.
Setting aside Wu Tian's talent, just based on the fact that Wu Tian was his master, he couldn't just gloss over it.
Therefore, even though he felt pity, he had to put on an angry expression and scold, "Wang Xuebin, do you know what you've done today? This is betraying your master!"
"I, Wang Shouyi, will strictly adhere to the principles and ethics of our lineage, above all else."
"So, since you've done something like this today, I can only tell you that you are no longer qualified to be my disciple."
"And you can forget about being the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department."
"From today onwards, you can leave. We have no further relationship!"
Hearing this, Wang Xuebin was completely stunned.
He never imagined that Wang Shengshou would impose such a severe punishment.
He was quite loyal to Wang Shengshou, so tears immediately streamed down his face as he cried out, "Master, don't do this!"
"I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"
"I will definitely reform myself from now on. Please give me one chance!"
Wang Shengshou's reluctance was clearly written on his face.
But he still had to scold angrily, "Nonsense! What's the use of saying this now! What were you doing before!"
"You'd better not try to argue with me with all this nonsense. I will not forgive you!"
Seeing Wang Shengshou's heartlessness, Wang Xuebin knew how serious his mistake was.
He quickly hugged Wu Tian's leg and wailed, "Grand-master! Please give me a chance!"
"It took me so much effort to reach this point. If you do this, you'll ruin me completely!"
Saying this, he kowtowed to Wu Tian, "Grand-master, I kowtow to you, I kowtow to you!"
"As long as you let me off, anything is negotiable!"
Seeing Wang Xuebin in this state, everyone was dumbfounded.
Just a moment ago, they had considered Wang Xuebin a genius doctor.
But now, why had Wang Xuebin become like this?
It seemed this Wu Tian... was truly someone not to be trifled with!
