Chapter 448 - 447: Leaked Information
Tao Hailin paced back and forth with a gloomy expression; if the Wei Family and Beisitian formed an alliance, their left-wing faction would be left behind. If those people caught wind of any movement, they would surely first target the weak ones!The left-wing absolutely cannot be ruined under his watch!
Tao Hailin does not ask for great achievements, only that he can smoothly pass down the inheritance in his lifetime.
"Master, has something happened?" asked the senior disciple Li Zhengjun.
He was already forty-five years old. Since he had been by Tao Hailin’s side the longest, his skills were the best, and he was mature and steady, his tasks were basically error-free, most of the outside affairs in the left-wing in recent years were entrusted to him.
Tao Hailin, with a gloomy face, glanced at a few disciples, asked the senior disciple and the third disciple to stay, while the rest went out. When only three people remained, he finally revealed the situation, of course omitting the awkward segment at the Tian Family, speaking directly about being overtaken by the Wei Family.
The reason Tao Hailin kept the third disciple Zhou Xiongwen was because he was efficient in his work and well-connected. His disciples each had their own strengths, Tao Hailin not only taught them medicine but also was good at using people’s skills fully, and made the most of what each disciple excelled at.
Therefore, although this generation of the left-wing doesn’t have any outstanding talents, their overall strength is not inferior to the right-wing. But it mostly depends on the Mystic Doctor’s skills, while Tao Hailin is still alive, the left-wing will not lag behind the right-wing much, but if he passes away, based on the current strength of the disciples, the left-wing will rapidly decline.
Tao Hailin had been searching everywhere for years to find a disciple with exceptional aptitude, but unfortunately, it’s not easy to find such gifted talent.
"This is indeed difficult to handle, the Wei Family benefits greatly from being family-oriented in this aspect." Li Zhengjun said with a frown.
When he heard the four words ’Spiritual Talisman,’ he was extremely shocked, and upon hearing that the Wei Family had taken the lead, he felt somewhat anxious, understanding the feeling of his master these past two days. Had he been in the same position, he would have been as frantic as an ant on a hot pan.
Zhou Xiongwen frowned and said, "This person lacks nothing; if anything is missing, we can try to provide it, perhaps establishing a connection."
Zhou Xiongwen almost wanted to say ’this senior,’ but when he thought of her age, he swallowed the words ’senior’; after all, he was forty-two, twice as old as this person!
Zhou Xiongwen was speechless, thinking that the Wei Family’s Wei Zhongyuan was already monstrous enough, yet now came another even more extraordinary one; how can people stand this!
Upon hearing the third disciple’s words, Tao Hailin frowned deeply, thought carefully, and realized Beisitian likely lacked nothing: she had family, a husband, didn’t lack medicinal herbs relying on Tian Family, Commander Wu... ah no, now should be called General Wu protected her like nothing else, he couldn’t pry his mouth open even now, learning about Beisitian through other channels to then approach the Tian Family; she being highly capable, such a person couldn’t be short of money...
"She seems to lack nothing." Tao Hailin’s voice was low after speaking.
Suddenly, Li Zhengjun said, "If she lacks nothing, why did she ally with the Wei Family?"
Tao Hailin and Zhou Xiongwen looked at him simultaneously, Zhou Xiongwen hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, what do you think?"
Li Zhengjun looked at Tao Hailin and said, "Didn’t master just say that this person lacks nothing, also having support from a general behind her, Dean Du is courteous to her, she essentially has no reason to give face to the Wei Family, although the Wei Family elder invited her publicly to take his family disciples as apprentices, indeed offering plenty of face, ultimately forcing her politely to refuse, yet she agreed, this means she indeed has demands!"
Tao Hailin remained silent; he had seen Beisitian before, although she appeared amiable, she was not easy to deal with. Such a person exudes pride from within; that day she even compromised, agreeing with Wei Yuanqing’s advice, showing Li Zhengjun was right, she certainly still has use for the Wei Family.
What has she eyed in the Wei Family, although their left-wing is inferior to the Wei Family in terms of disciples, other resources are not lacking compared to the Wei Family!
Tao Hailin and the three speculated about Beisitian’s thoughts, planning to promptly devise countermeasures.
Someone capable of the Spiritual Talisman hasn’t appeared for hundreds of years; if they miss this chance, they’re afraid they won’t be able to handle the upcoming intense shocks, failing to find alliance partners, they would either have to compromise or become history.
Beisitian was unaware the left-wing had her in mind, she was currently most troubled by what gift to prepare for the two prospective disciples.
This first meeting gift is very important, and it is Beisitian’s first meeting gift. Beisitian highly regarded it.
But she didn’t have much, nothing she could present; whether the Wei Family or the Tian Family, they almost lacked nothing.
While Beisitian was troubled, on the other side Luo Xinfang was also troubled. The original Luo Family was in Shanghai, a family known for medicine, encompassing both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, she had married into Beijing.
Her husband’s family was likewise a medical family, producing several bachelor’s degree holders in medicine, even two medical PhDs, and one returned from studying abroad, making the family rich in talent.
In such a family, Luo Xinfang seemed insignificant, not to mention she studied traditional Chinese medicine.
Although Luo Xinfang’s personal abilities were not valued by her husband’s family, the influence of the Luo Family was significant; they were highly regarded due to the Luo Family having a unique external doctor in Shanghai, who also knew someone from the Wei Family.
With these two points, her husband’s family valued Luo Xinfang greatly, involving her in all family matters.
On this day, Luo Xinfang had just arrived home when her father-in-law summoned her to the hall. Seeing her brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, and her husband present, she knew something was probably going to happen.
"Xinfang, sit down." Her father-in-law Mei Zhiwei said.
Luo Xinfang glanced at her husband Mei Ren’an, and sat beside him.
Mei Zhiwei said, "Ren Hai received news that this time Wei Zhongxun from the Wei Family wants to take master, the location is at the Tian Family."
The eldest Mei Renhai nodded and said, "The information is reliable, the Tian Family is making a big event this time, but externally not mentioning invites, plus complete secrecy, it’s very mysterious. We don’t know who Wei Zhongxun is apprenticing under."
Everyone present were the backbone of the Mei Family. Though the Tian Family had high overall strength, they were only a common traditional medicine family. But they all understood what the Wei Family represented.
The Wei Family and Tian Family had no connection, their friendship came suddenly, and now even Wei Zhongxun, one of the Wei Family inheritors, would apprentice at her Tian Family; what the hell is going on?
This situation has two shocking aspects: firstly, the location is at the Tian Family, which is puzzling, secondly, Wei Zhongxun is an inheritor from the Wei Family, yet Wei Yuanqing is willing to let him apprentice under another person; what kind of person was that, who made the Wei Family elder let go so easily!
