NOVEL NEXT Chapter 350 Do You Know This Person?
What made him wary was that when Wang Ye explained his thought process, it managed to captivate him—a person with no interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine—and fill him with a sense of fascination.
Even just now, it had sparked within him the desire to delve into the study of Traditional Chinese Medicine, feeling that there was something miraculous about it.
This was terrifying!
The people around Morse also fixed their gaze on him; despite Wang Ye's excellent explanation, the crux of the matter was that they knew absolutely nothing about Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Therefore, they didn't understand what Wang Ye had said, and naturally, they were unable to judge whether what he said was correct or not.
Taking a deep breath, Morse then said, "What Wang Ye said is all correct. His logic is correct. The preparation of traditional herbal medicine requires different amounts of time due to the various ingredients used."
"Some herbs need to be simmered for a very long time, but some only require boiling for about ten to fifteen minutes."
After making this statement, Morse looked at Wang Ye earnestly and with significant meaning, and addressed Wang Ye, "In this competition, it was I who lost. We will release Elder Zhong."
"But going forward, I hope you all will be more vigilant."
After finishing his speech, Morse turned to the person detaining Zhong Feng and ordered, "Let him go! Release Elder Zhong!"
The person holding Zhong Feng looked back incredulously at Morse, still harboring disbelief, and double-checked with Morse, "Are you sure that you lost the competition between the two of you?"
It wasn't just the person detaining Zhong Feng—everyone around Morse was taken aback by his admission of defeat to Wang Ye, thinking it impossible for Morse to be beaten by him.
After all, Morse was known as the youngest prodigy in the Western Medical Association.
Even though Morse is ten years older than Wang Ye!
Now, the person known as the youngest prodigy in the Western Medical Association had lost to Wang Ye, the person hailed as the youngest prodigy from the Dragon Country Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.
Naturally, they couldn't believe it, nor did they want to.
"I lost."
Under everyone's gaze, Morse repeated himself, and then emphasized again, "Release him!"
Morse knew that under these circumstances, since Wang Ye had already won, if they continued to delay the release, then Wang Ye and his people would truly take forceful action.
Smiling, Zhong Feng also said to his captor, "Didn't you hear? They said to release me. What, can't the people from the Western Medical Association take a loss? Clearly, it was you who made the promise at the beginning, but now you're hesitating to release me—do you intend to go back on your word?"
Though they had captured Zhong Feng and Morse also lost to Wang Ye, these two facts were much for Morse's associates to stomach. Yet, since they had already agreed on the terms beforehand, they had no choice but to let Zhong Feng go.
Just as they released Zhong Feng, those responsible for protecting him were about to rush forward and deal with Morse and his people.
Wang Ye stopped them and said, "Let it be. Since we agreed to the bet from the start, let them leave."
"And…"
Wang Ye looked at Morse, feeling that Morse had been too calm when the people near Zhong Feng had started to move, as if he still had an ace up his sleeve for later.
"Then…"
Amid the hesitation of those protecting Zhong Feng, Zhong Feng himself spoke up, "Alright, let's leave it at that. Let them go."
Hearing what Zhong Feng said, while his protectors were still resentful, they held their peace.
Morse, along with his people, quickly left the area.
After Morse had left, the leader of Zhong Feng's protectors glared at Wang Ye and questioned him somewhat dissatisfied, "Wang Ye, why didn't you let me keep them here under the circumstances just now?"
Although later, the protector looked to Zhong Feng who nodded his approval before backing down, he still felt indignant. Since he couldn't complain to Zhong Feng, he could only take it up with Wang Ye.
"Morse surely still has an ace in his hand. If you had continued to act just now, there might have been some unexpected dangers," Wang Ye said lightly, stopping the other from speaking any further.
Looking at Wang Ye, the excitement that Zhong Feng had shown earlier due to Wang Ye's victory over Morse in the medical competition had vanished. Now his eyes filled with concern as he looked at Wang Ye.
Placing both hands on Wang Ye's shoulders, Zhong Feng spoke to him gravely, "Wang Ye, although you've won against Morse in this medical competition, you have to be careful going forward. You mustn't let anything happen to you."
"After all, the words Morse said earlier were quite thought-provoking."
"He said that going forward, we should be even more careful and vigilant, but he wasn't really speaking to me; he was speaking to you. You have proven yourself in the field of medicine today, and, in their eyes, you are now a far larger threat than I ever was."
"Previously, although they knew of your medical prowess, they had harbored doubts about your actual level of expertise, so they wouldn't pay a heavy price. But now that you have revealed your skills in medicine, you have become a thorn in their side, and they will certainly look for ways to retaliate against you."
After saying this, Zhong Feng turned to the one who had just challenged Wang Ye and said, "From now on, it's your responsibility to stay by his side and protect him!"
"There's no need, Elder Zhong."
Seeing that Elder Zhong still insisted, Wang Ye recalled the person he had encountered on the mountain and spoke to Elder Zhong, "Elder Zhong, do you know of such a person?"
Having said that.
Wang Ye described the appearance and features of the person he had met on the mountain to Elder Zhong.
Listening to Wang Ye's description, Elder Zhong's already solemn face grew even more serious.
However, due to certain reasons, even though Elder Zhong knew who Wang Ye was speaking of, he chose to remain silent.
