Chapter 74 - An Expert in Ruining the Moment
After breakfast, the Hardware Store's owner came to change the lock before Lu s.h.i.+miao felt relieved. As a gorgeous woman, it's not wrong for her to be conscious of protecting herself. Since young, she had continuously been hara.s.sed due to her outstanding appearance. A flower would naturally attract b.u.t.terflies, and as time pa.s.sed, she had slowly built up her barrier. It was also because of this that Su Tao felt that she was a cold woman from the first impression.
But after they got to know each other, Su Tao realised that Lu s.h.i.+miao wasn't that different from an ordinary woman. She had emotions and desires. She would feel hurt and depressed, and this was also the reason why he gave Lu s.h.i.+miao help several times. It was also mainly because he could sense a stubbornness in her that any man would feel pity for, especially when she was also an incredibly gorgeous woman.
After separating with Lu s.h.i.+miao, Su Tao returned to the Three Flavour Hall to prepare for the Physician King Tournament. There were many emails sent to his mailbox, and all of them were questions of the tournament in the past. It's a comprehensive compet.i.tion with 32 partic.i.p.ants going at 1 to 1 before moving onto the elimination to compete for the t.i.tle of the Physician King.
The details of the subject were extremely complicated, since it's a mix of all the subjects in TCM. The acupuncture, manual therapy, prescriptions and many others. The patients were all hard cases from the various hospitals.
All the previous Physician Kings had to fight their way through the obstacles before they could ascend the peak. They would also be invited to the TCM a.s.sociation as an important seed to be groomed.
w.a.n.g Guofeng had a brilliant reputation, but due to some reasons, the Medical Dao Sect did not register him in it. Otherwise, he would have already obtained this t.i.tle. This time, the commotion caused by this Physician King Tournament was exceptionally great, and his photo was posted on the official page to launch his advertis.e.m.e.nt as a seeded player.
Su Tao clicked open the website that was sent over by Yan Jing. This was the gambling website that Vera had contacted Utopia to set up. After a few days of advertis.e.m.e.nt, the chances of w.a.n.g Guofeng winning had reached a high rate of 67%, so if w.a.n.g Guofeng lost, then Utopia would become the biggest winner.
Su Tao's gazes moved down and found his name at the 2nd ranking from the bottom. There was only one person lower than him, and it was a female doctor from Ezhou Province that originally didn't have a traditional origin, so she wasn't highly thought of.
There's a reason why people were more in favour of partic.i.p.ants that originated from the famous TCM sects. In all the past tournaments, most of the Top 16 compet.i.tors were from the prominent TCM sects, and those that came up with the questions in the tournament were also from those sects. Thus, those partic.i.p.ants had a natural advantage.
While Su Tao fell into his thoughts, he received a call from Yan Jing. "I just got the news that the National Health Bureau's a.s.sistant Minister, Deng Zaimin will be present in the event. So the standard is extremely high, aside from the medical media, all the other media in the country has also focused their attention over."
Knocking his finger on the table, Su Tao probed, "You seem to very nervous."
"That's because I placed a heavy bet on you." Yan Jing smiled after a brief silence.
Su Tao remained silent for a long while before he suddenly said, "If I can help you win the Physician King Tournament, can you help me get Cai Zhongpu out?"
Yan Jing knitted her brows, but her eyebrows quickly eased up before she sighed, "You're asking me to do the impossible."
Su Tao's gaze flickered before he replied in a composed voice, "Director Yan, we can be considered as half friends, right? I know that there's a hidden power for the reason why you're so enthusiastic about the Physician King Tournament, and it's simple for that power to rescue Cai Zhongpu."
