Chapter 26 - Feast in the Aqua Brook
With his matters going on the right track, Su Tao's leisure lifestyle had also grown busy. Other than Xiao Jingjing, there were also four interns that came to the Three Flavour Hall. However, only Xiao Jingjing was Su Tao's official disciple.
One factor was because Xiao Jingjing was willing to suffer, and the other factor was because Su Tao wanted to focus on one person.
Xiao Jingjing was known as a bookworm in the university, scoring first place every year, a top student that enjoyed a full scholars.h.i.+p. Therefore, it wasn't strange that Xiao Jingjing could become Su Tao's disciple.
The four interns had also left a deep impression in Su Tao's heart. The first would be Zhao Jian, who excelled in basketball, second being w.a.n.g Peng, the student whose face was covered in acne. As for the remaining two, they were outstanding students that Tang Nanzheng had recommended. Although they weren't as good as Xiao Jingjing, they were also talents that the university had paid great attention in nurturing. They were also year four students that were also candidates for the Jiangnan TCM University's tournament, the male being Deng Ming and the female being Di Yuan.
Su Tao did not give them any pep talk; instead, he got them to learn the Pulse Art. Amongst the four interns, Zhao Jian had the foundation of an athlete, so he picked up the fastest. Although Xiao Jingjing's was weaker in comparison, she was diligent and managed to complete one entire set.
As for the other three, their performance wasn't that good. Especially w.a.n.g Peng, he looked to be preoccupied with some matters.
"Master, they're all asking when they can start to learn." Xiao Jingjing asked Su Tao in private.
Su Tao smiled. "Everything requires a foundation. The Pulse Art that you guys have been practising daily is a medical skill."
Xiao Jingjing sighed, "I can understand, but I'm afraid that they won't be able to bear the boredom."
Su Tao smiled. "A physician requires a st.u.r.dy acc.u.mulation, if they're impatient, they can leave."
"But we're running out of time for the tournament." Xiao Jingjing spoke.
Su Tao confidently declared, "I guarantee that all of you can achieve it according to my plans."
Soon after, Xiao Jingjing left while Su Tao rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. If they want to obtain achievements in the tournament, acupuncture would be the fastest. If they trained in the Pulse Art proficiently with the ability to store qi, he only had to teach them a set of techniques to use acupuncture, and they would be able to stand out in the tournament.
Su Tao had actually made his plans. Aside from teaching them the Pulse Art, he even purchased an acupuncture model. However, the model required a slight adjustment before it fits his requirements, allowing the five interns to learn faster.
Suddenly, his phone rang, so Su Tao picked it up. He heard Vera smiling from the other side. "I'm outside the store. I have some things to discuss with you."
It had been days since Vera contacted Su Tao, but she would take time to send him a daily message. Vera was the chairman of an International Corporation. Since she bothered to take the daily time to chat with the inheritor of a tattered pharmacy, it had already shown that she had looked upon Su Tao with favour.
Hanging up the phone, Su Tao exited and saw Vera seated in the backseat and waved her hand. "Come up!"
Su Tao sat beside Vera and could smell the strong perfume from her. Although it wasn't acrid, it made his heart tingle.
Despite their age, western women were fond of perfume, since it could conceal any odour. It could be considered a culture for them. Every single one of them had a different style, while Vera's perfume could increase her inner qualities and give the bearing of untamed pa.s.sion.
