Section 439

After a long while, she spoke tentatively.

"President Xu… Are you really willing to pass on the Tianyi Nine Needles to me?"

That was the Tianyi Nine Needles, after all.

Who wouldn't treasure it like a precious baby?

Yet Xu Hao was willing to teach her.

It felt so unreal.

"Of course. Once you learn the Tianyi Nine Needles and heal people personally, you won't just resolve the predicament of Shennong Hall, but you'll also allow traditional Chinese medicine to grow and flourish."

Feng Zixuan's heart skipped a beat.

Naturally, that would be for the best.

But…

"President Xu, I already have a master."

After a bout of hesitation, Feng Zixuan gritted her teeth and said,

"What does me teaching you acupuncture have to do with whether or not you have a master?"

Feng Zixuan was stunned.

Since Xu Hao wanted to impart such a precious Tianyi Nine Needles, she had thought he wanted to take her in as a disciple.

She was overthinking it.

The reason Xu Hao was teaching her…

was simply to get close to her and harvest Emotion Points.

To subdue her into spasms.

What kind of bad intentions could he possibly have?

Taking her in as a disciple wouldn't be out of the question either.

It could add an extra identity buff and stack attack speed…

174 Disciplining a disciple! Using the Star Wrath Pill to recruit a female lead bodyguard! Master…

"How could that be?"

Feng Zixuan had her own principles.

Accepting such a huge favor from Xu Hao for no reason made her feel uneasy.

"Young Miss Feng, to be honest, your sentiment of saving the world and helping people, as well as your Spirit of wholeheartedly promoting traditional Chinese medicine, command my admiration."

"I am also considered a member of the traditional Chinese medicine community, and I don't want traditional Chinese medicine to decline just like that."

"The Tianyi Nine Needles are useless in my hands anyway. It's better to teach them to you so you can better lead the development of traditional Chinese medicine…"

Xu Hao spoke passionately.

Feng Zixuan couldn't help but be moved.

She remembered that when she first descended the mountain, she had promised her master.

That she would definitely carry forward and promote traditional Chinese medicine.

Now Shennong Hall was facing a crisis, and a single misstep would ruin its reputation completely.

She would also be implicated.

How could she develop traditional Chinese medicine by then?

Now an opportunity was right before her eyes.

As long as she learned the Tianyi Nine Needles, she could turn the situation around.

Feng Zixuan was persuaded by Xu Hao.

But she was still hesitant.

The favor was too huge.

So huge that she didn't know how to repay it.

"How about this…"

Seeing her hesitate, Xu Hao's eyes flashed.

Feng Zixuan looked up.

She only heard Xu Hao say,

"Why don't you also take me as your master? A master teaching a disciple, there's nothing wrong with that, right?"

"But I already have a master?"

"Who stipulates that you can only take one person as your master? What era is this? Having a few masters is completely normal."

"This… All right."

After a moment of hesitation, Feng Zixuan agreed.

Her master was reasonable, so he would surely understand her.

"Master, I toast to you."

Feng Zixuan picked up her teacup, substituting tea for wine to toast Xu Hao.

"Good… I didn't expect that I would also have a disciple one day."

After Feng Zixuan finished her tea, Xu Hao reached out to help her up with a brilliant smile on his face.

Unexpectedly taking in a female lead as a disciple.

Thinking about it, it was quite awesome.

Feeling Xu Hao's hands resting on her arms.

Feng Zixuan's entire body tensed up.

This was her first time having such close contact with a member of the opposite sex.

She felt very awkward.

Feng Zixuan, stop letting your imagination run wild; this is your own master.

"Miss Feng… From now on, I'll just call you Zixuan."

"Zixuan, who knows what backup plans western medicine has on their side, let's start right now."

"I will explain the Tianyi Nine Needles to you first…"

Next——

Xu Hao explained, and Feng Zixuan listened attentively.

From time to time, a look of sudden realization appeared on her face.

After explaining almost enough, Feng Zixuan led Xu Hao to the practice room where she usually performed acupuncture.

Feng Zixuan began practicing according to the Acupoints mentioned by Xu Hao.

"Zixuan, this part is wrong. It should be like this and like that, and like so…"

Feng Zixuan nodded and continued to try.

"Still not right."

Feng Zixuan looked at Xu Hao with some apprehension.

"I'm sorry, Master…"

Of course, it wasn't her problem.

Having studied on the mountain with her master for several years.

It was impossible for her not to find a few Acupoints.

The reason she couldn't comprehend it was because Xu Hao intentionally explained it too profoundly.

The purpose naturally was…

Xu Hao stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

Quickly pinpointing the correct position to drop the silver needle.

Just like that, he began a hand-in-hand teaching session with this newly accepted female lead disciple.

Feng Zixuan was dumbfounded, her mind going completely blank.

Feeling Xu Hao's warm embrace and his mature masculine aura, her body stiffened.

Feng Zixuan's first reaction was to break free.

But the moment she thought of Xu Hao's identity, she gave up.
