Chapter 258 A Magpie Nest Occupied by a Dove

”Don't give me a lecture. This won't work on me,” Qin Haodong said, ”There is no reason I should teach you. You will only boast that the essence of Celestial Empire medicine is found in Nihon.

You have stolen too many things from Celestial Empire, but you are not grateful at all. Some of you even bite the hand that feeds you.”

A shred of shame flashed on Mieko's face. She felt her cheeks burning. She was the core representative of Nihon who would challenge Celestial Empire medicine, but she claimed that the essence of Celestial Empire medicine was in Nihon. This was like a slap on her face.

Not only was she inferior to Qin Haodong when it came to medical skills, but she did not even know the needling techniques he had used. This couldn't be any more humiliating.

”Let's go!”

She was too embarrassed to stay any longer. Thus, she hurried out of Riverside Tower. Hirai Yagyuu stared at Qin Haodong fiercely and then took the two men with the broken arms and followed her.

When they got into a very large limousine, Mieko told a person who seemed to be a secretary, ”Look up a man named Qin Haodong for me right away and find what his origin is.”

Mieko looked grave, so Hirai consoled her by saying, ”Miss Mieko, you don't have to worry too much. He's just good at bone-setting and acupuncture. Traditional Celestial Empire medicine is broad and profound, and contains a lot of things. His overall accomplishments are certainly not as good as yours.”

Chiba Mei Huizi breathed a sigh of relief and said, ”If Qin Haodong is good at everything, going all the way to china to challenge traditional Celestial Empire medicine will only be a joke.”

Suddenly, the secretary said, ”Miss Mieko, I found it.”

Then, she handed her laptop over. When Mieko looked at the information displayed on the screen, she felt worse. A few minutes later, she folded the laptop. Her eyes were closed, but her heart couldn't be pacified for a long time.

Hirai couldn't help asking, ”Why, is there anything special about this man?”

Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she replied with emphasis, ”Qin Haodong, also known as the Celestial Empire Medical Sage, has been officially titled National Grand Master. He's the youngest one in thousands of years in Celestial Empire!”

Hirai said, ”Medical Sage? Isn't that an exaggeration? Maybe this guy has that undeserved reputation because he has a certain background!”

Mieko said, ”Not long ago, he cured Old Maldini's brain tumors without surgery, which is a miracle in medical history. A few days ago, he developed a new Celestial Empire medicine called Blood Revival Oral Liquid, which can cure leukemia. It will go into production soon.”

”Er... ”

These two facts were like heavy bombs. Hirai could no longer say anything to question him. Leukemia was a problem that no one in the world could overcome, yet it had been solved by this young man. Nothing he said would comfort Meiko.

After a long silence, Hirai said, ”Miss Mieko, since we have issued a challenge, don't think so much about it. Maybe Qin Haodong won't attend this Cultural Exchange!”

”I hope so. If this man takes part in it, I will lose!”

It was hard for Mieko to admit this. She had studied medicine with her teacher when she had been little. She was a famous female genius of traditional Celestial Empire medicine in Nihon. She enjoyed a high reputation, so she had taken on the weighty responsibility of challenging Celestial Empire.

Unexpectedly, she felt overwhelmed before the challenge began, which was unacceptable for an arrogant woman like her.

Hirai did not speak. As the master of Yagyuu's family, he was the head of the delegation of cultural exchange. They would challenge Celestial Empire in five aspects: traditional Celestial Empire medicine, Celestial Empire guqin, painting, tea ceremony and antique appraisal. Even if Mieko failed, it would not have much of an impact.

Meanwhile, in Riverside Tower, Qin Haodong was treated like a hero. The diners in the lobby surrounded him and Qi Waner like stars holding the moon to express their inner worship.

They could not stay any longer, so they left Riverside Tower directly.

After getting on the bus, Qin Haodong drove Qi Waner home. Qi Waner started clicking on the computer.

”Did you find it? What's the background of this Mieko Chiba?” Qin Haodong asked.

”She was a member of the Chiba family in Nihon. She studied Celestial Empire medicine with Kyoka Chiba when she was a child. She is credited as the Beautiful Genius of Celestial Empire medicine in Nihon.”

Qin Haodong asked, ”Who is Kyoka Chiba? Where did he learn Celestial Empire medicine?”

Qi Waner said, ”Kyoka Chiba participated in the invasion of Celestial Empire during the last century. After getting injured, he received treatment in an old Celestial Empire medicine doctor's home. Before his wounds were healed, the Nihon nation declared defeat and surrendered.

Instead of returning to the army, Kyoka stayed with the old doctor as an apprentice. After ten years of studying, he returned to Nihon and brought back Celestial Empire medicine.”

Qin Haodong frowned and said, ”Nihon people really do not have a conscience. They have won the favor of our country and studied Celestial Empire medicine, but instead of repaying us, they came back to provoke us.”

Qi Waner said, ”Those people have always lived like savages on that island. Later, they learned weaving, ironmaking, farming and other techniques from Celestial Empire. When they finished learning, the first thing they did was declare war on us.”

Qin Haodong said, ”Look, what is the purpose of this cultural exchange held by the Nihon people?”

Qi Waner stroked the keyboard quickly and said after a while, ”This cultural exchange is generally considered a folk activity. The initiator on the Nihon side is the Yagyuu family, whose purpose is to attack Celestial Empire from a spiritual level.
