Liu Shiyu had been completely abandoned.
He thought he was the only one, but Su Qiannai mercilessly shattered his illusion.
Only then did he realize that he was merely a clown.
He sat on the ground, utterly dejected.
Judging by his appearance, this man, who might one day become a medical master, had clearly suffered a major blow and would likely be unable to recover, falling into obscurity from this point on.
But Su Qiannai paid him no mind. To her, ten Liu Shiyus were nothing, let alone just one.
She didn't spare Liu Shiyu another glance and continued to smile at Wu Tian, saying, "Young Master, I came to congratulate you, but why are you still so fierce with me?"
"It's not polite for a man to give a woman such a terrifying look."
At this moment, Wu Tian's gaze was indeed terrifyingly dark.
He clenched his fists tightly, as if he were about to strike Su Qiannai in the next second.
Everyone present dared not speak. Even Hu Yong moved his lips, but could not utter a single word.
This situation had gone beyond his control. When it concerned the Divine Doctor Sect, even the president of the National Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine had no right to intervene.
What right did he, a mere director, have to speak?
After a while, Wu Tian finally spoke.
He looked at Su Qiannai with a dark expression and said, "Su Qiannai, can we do what you promised me now?"
Su Qiannai raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "You mean, after you win, I'll tell you something?"
"No problem, how would I dare lie to you, Young Master?"
She swayed her serpentine waist and continued to say to Wu Tian, "But it's not convenient to talk here. So, Young Master, please come back to my lounge with me."
Wu Tian did not reply. He strode after Su Qiannai and went to her lounge.
Su Qiannai's body exuded a captivating fragrance, filling the entire lounge with its scent.
Wu Tian sat on the sofa. Su Qiannai poured tea for him and said with a smile, "Young Master, please have some water."
Wu Tian said coldly, "Don't try to play these games with me. Let's get down to business."
Su Qiannai was not angry. She sat opposite Wu Tian and smiled, saying, "Young Master, there aren't many people in this world to whom I would pour tea. But you're treating me with such disrespect, isn't that a bit much?"
Wu Tian said coldly, "Why should I give you face? What face did you give me back then?"
"Respect is mutual. Since you don't respect me, why should I respect you?"
Su Qiannai chuckled, which made her even more beautiful.
She continued, "Young Master, I must say, you are quite stubborn, but you are also a bit cute."
"Let's skip the pleasantries," Wu Tian had no interest in chatting with Su Qiannai. "Tell me what I want to know first."
Su Qiannai smiled and said, "Young Master, what you want to know is those things."
"But that's not something you can just ask and I have to tell you. After all, very few people in the Divine Doctor Sect know about this."
"Compared to that, I'd rather ask you, Young Master, about the progress of our one-year agreement. How is it going?"
"Has your impoverished village become better under your leadership?"
Hearing this, Wu Tian's heart sank slightly.
But outwardly, he remained sullen and said, "It's not a year yet, and I'm not obligated to report progress to you. So, wait until the time comes, and then you can talk to me about it."
Su Qiannai raised her eyebrows and said, "Is that so? Alright, since Young Master doesn't want to say, I won't ask. I look forward to your good news."
Her eyes flickered, and she continued, "By the way, Young Master, do you know why I came here?"
Wu Tian said coldly, "I have no interest in knowing."
Su Qiannai laughed, "Oh, Young Master, don't be so cold."
"I know you're interested, but you think I came for Liu Shiyu, so you're putting on this act, right?"
"But I'm telling you, you've guessed wrong. This has nothing to do with Liu Shiyu."
"Although our Divine Doctor Sect is a hidden spiritual sect, hidden spiritual sects are not entirely reclusive. We often scout for talent in the outside world."
"Every year, we scout for geniuses with spiritual energy and medical talent across the country. That Liu Shiyu is just one of them with relatively good aptitude."
"But people like him are common in our Divine Doctor Sect. He can't even become an ordinary disciple, so how could I personally come here for such a person?"
Hearing Su Qiannai say this, Wu Tian realized that there seemed to be something amiss.
So he frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that? What do you want to do?"
Su Qiannai said teasingly, "Didn't Young Master say he wasn't interested? But now you're asking me?"
Wu Tian was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became even more displeased.
This Su Qiannai was truly a woman who was not easy to deal with.
One had to be extremely cautious when facing such a woman, otherwise, one could easily be led astray by her.
Seeing that Wu Tian had fallen silent, Su Qiannai said again, "Oh, Young Master, don't be angry. I was just playing a small joke on you. How can you be like this?"
She lowered her voice, her tone filled with a fox-like enchantment, and said, "Actually, the reason I came is entirely for you."
"For me?" This answer surprised Wu Tian.
"What do you mean by 'for me'? I don't understand what you're saying."
Su Qiannai smiled, "It's okay if you don't understand, I'll tell you."
"It's like this: I originally had no interest in this competition. But three days ago, I accidentally discovered that you were on the list of contestants, so I came to see you."
"That Liu Shiyu thought I came for him. Don't you think such a person is shameless?"
Looking at Su Qiannai's smile, Wu Tian felt a genuine sense of disgust.
Although he disliked Liu Shiyu, Su Qiannai's manipulative attitude was simply too vile.
What did she consider people to be? Toys?
His dislike for Su Qiannai grew, and Wu Tian said coldly, "Then why are you telling me this? Should I thank you? Thank the Divine Doctor Sect for still paying attention to me?"
Su Qiannai shook her head, "No, no, no. The Divine Doctor Sect is not paying attention to you. Only I am paying attention to you."
"If the Divine Doctor Sect knew that you mastered the Ten Great Acupuncture Techniques of the Medicine God, you would be captured right now."
