Best Young Master

18: Chapter 016 [The Cows Are Overhyped] 18: Chapter 016 [The Cows Are Overhyped] Originally, Ye Fan had deduced through Zhang Lin’s appearance that the other was there to treat Su Yuxin.

At this moment, seeing his grandiose demeanor, he vaguely understood something but did not expose him; instead, he responded indifferently, “My surname is Ye, and my name is Fan.”

“Ye Fan?”

Su Jindi silently repeated the name, recalling in his mind, and after confirming that neither his sisters Su Yuxin nor Su Liuli knew this person, he flared his nostrils and glared, saying, “Be honest, how did you end up in my house?”

“Your sister invited me to help her with her medical condition.” Ye Fan arched his brow slightly, too lazy for idle chatter, he went straight to the point.

“Treating my sister?”

Su Jindi, as if he had heard something unbelievable, widened his eyes and sized up Ye Fan from head to toe three times.

“So the young man is a doctor, my apologies, my apologies.”

Watching Su Jindi remain silent, Master Zhang Lin put on a show of courtesy and said, “I am Zhang Lin, the Taoist priest of the Qinglong Taoist Temple.”

“Qinglong Taoist Temple?” Ye Fan glanced at Zhang Lin casually, “Never heard of it.”

“Hey, you little bastard, dare to play dumb in front of Uncle Zhang?”

Zhang Lin had intended to intimidate Ye Fan with his reputation, wishing Ye Fan would scram as far as possible.

Upon hearing Ye Fan’s arrogant words, he was so infuriated that he cursed inwardly.

However, he did not directly confront Ye Fan and instead said discontentedly to Su Jindi, “Young Master Su, since your family has already invited an expert, why bother calling me here?”

“Zhang…

Master Zhang, listen to me, I had no idea about this…”

Seeing Zhang Lin getting somewhat angry, Su Jindi apologized in panic, then glared angrily at Ye Fan, “Where did you pop out from?

You don’t even recognize Master Zhang and yet you dare claim you came to treat my sister?

I think you’re nothing but a scammer.

Get lost while I’m still calm, or don’t blame me for being rude!”

“You little bastard, not only stealing my business but playing dumb after seeing me.

I was roaming the Jianghu when you were still playing in the mud.

With such little skill, you dare to compete with me?”

Seeing Su Jindi scolding Ye Fan, and showing signs of wanting to teach Ye Fan a lesson, Zhang Lin sneered inwardly, his gaze towards Ye Fan filled with disdain, as if a Martial Artist of the Innate Realm encountering one from the Early Postnatal realm.

The suspicion and insults from Su Jindi caused Ye Fan’s eyes to grow cold; he instinctively wanted to send Su Jindi flying with a slap, but noticing Zhang Lin’s triumphant look, he abandoned the idea.

Firstly, he could see that Su Jindi was being used as a pawn by Zhang Lin, who was the real instigator.

Moreover, he also noticed that Su Jindi respected Zhang Lin but disrespected him, all due to the matter of Su Yuxin’s illness.

Under these circumstances, if he were to slap Su Jindi, it would indeed be lowering himself.

“You are supposed to be here to treat Lady Su, may I ask audaciously: do you know what illness Lady Su has?

How should it be treated?” Ye Fan’s expression became calm again, as he stared sideways at Zhang Lin.

“Hey, kid, you’re just a youngster practicing medicine; I hadn’t even doubted you, yet you dare to question me,” Zhang Lin scoffed.

Zhang Lin, since starting his deception, never fought an unsure battle.

Upon hearing Ye Fan’s challenge, he laughed scornfully and said, “According to what Young Master Su said, his sister wearing a fur coat and covering herself with a quilt even on such hot days must naturally be due to excessive yin energy in her body.

As for the treatment, it naturally involves the use of Pure Yang Medicine.”

“If it were just ordinary yin energy, Pure Yang Medicine would naturally work, but her sister has an Extreme Yin Body, would Pure Yang Medicine be effective?” Ye Fan asked again.

This kid actually recognized that she has an Extreme Yin Body?

Zhang Lin was shocked internally, vaguely feeling that Ye Fan might not be an ignorant scammer, so he haughtily lifted his head, retreating tactically, “What would a greenhorn like you understand?”

“I think you simply do not know how to treat her,” Ye Fan taunted relentlessly, having confirmed at this point that the person performing exorcisms in front of him was indeed a scammer.

“What a joke, ever since I started practicing medicine, I’ve never encountered a disease I couldn’t treat!”

Zhang Lin, struck hard by Ye Fan’s words, felt as if he had been slapped, his cheeks burning, yet his arrogance grew even more, “I just disdain to discuss it with a greenhorn like you!”

As he finished speaking, Zhang Lin tilted his head back even higher, his mouth almost reaching skyward as if to enjoy the scenic beauty above, but really, he was stealing glances at Su Jindin, eagerly anticipating the moment Jindin would drive Ye Fan out.

Su Jindin, seeing that Ye Fan was young and having not heard of Zhang Lin’s great reputation, subconsciously regarded Ye Fan as a swindler, but…

having just heard Ye Fan speaking convincingly about Su Yuxin’s illness, he was somewhat surprised, which kept him from speaking up.

“Young Master Su, initially, I agreed to help out of respect for the deep bond between you and your sister.

Since your sister has already found a capable person, I shall not embarrass myself by intervening!”

Seeing Su Jindin rendered silent, somewhat convinced by Ye Fan’s words, Zhang Lin frowned and impulsively added fuel to the fire, “The payment you offered, I will return in full, including that jade pendant!”

“Master Zhang, please do not be angry.

I will have him leave right now!”

Hearing the forceful words of Zhang Lin ringing in his ears, Su Jindin promptly panicked; he no longer pondered whether he had misunderstood Ye Fan and directly issued the eviction order, “I don’t care if you’re here to swindle money or to genuinely treat my sister’s illness, but now, I want you to leave my house immediately—my sister’s illness does not need your intervention!”

“Divine Doctor.”

After Su Jindin had given the eviction order, even before Ye Fan could respond, Su Yuxin’s voice came from behind them.

She walked out of the main building in her cotton pajamas, then, upon seeing Su Jindin and Zhang Lin, her brow slightly raised, implying thoughtfulness as she approached, “Jin Emperor, where have you been these past few days?”

“Sister, is this person the doctor you invited?”

Already suspecting that he might have misunderstood Ye Fan, Su Jindin blurted out upon hearing Su Yuxin address Ye Fan as Divine Doctor.

“Yes.” Su Yuxin nodded, then looked towards Zhang Lin, “And who might this be?”

“This is the Taoist master of Qinglong Taoist Temple, Master Zhang Lin.” Su Jindin hurriedly introduced, adding, “I specially invited Master Zhang to treat your illness.”

Zhang Lin?

Upon hearing this, Su Yuxin immediately remembered that Su Liuli had also suggested seeking help from Zhang Lin previously, but Su Hongyuan had said that Zhang Lin was not really a skilled practitioner, merely masquerading as a master to con people.

He had avoided exposure only because he had become an important nexus within a network of government and business interests.

“Divine Doctor Ye had already treated me yesterday, and my illness has improved a lot.”

Considering that her brother had gone to the southeast to invite Zhang Lin to treat her, Su Yuxin was somewhat touched.

Thus, not wanting to let her brother down, she chose not to expose Zhang Lin and simply said, “There is no need to trouble Master Zhang.”

“Lady Su, initially I was moved by your brother’s sincerity and came out specially to treat your illness.

Since you say so, I won’t make an unwanted offer!”

Startled by her words, Zhang Lin kept his composure and said, “However…

I still need to remind you, based on the little chat I had with this young chap just now, he is absolutely a swindler, tricking and deceiving!

I hope you won’t be blinded by him, thereby missing your best chance for treatment.

Otherwise, even my old friend, Divine Doctor Chu Xuanji, might not be able to save you!”

As he finished, Zhang Lin glanced at Ye Fan with an air of superiority, as if his status had immensely risen just by saying he was Chu Xuanji’s friend.

Even though he was annoyed by Zhang Lin, Ye Fan had to admit, Zhang Lin was profoundly experienced in tricking and deceiving, maneouvering fluently with his words that deeply explored human vulnerabilities.

However—

Upon hearing the words “old friend, Chu Xuanji,” he couldn’t help but laugh.

This wasn’t just a matter of showing off swordsmanship in front of Guan Gong, but rather blowing things sky-high…

He had lived with the old man for twenty years, had counted even the number of hairs on his head, but never once had he heard about an old friend named Zhang Lin.’
