Chapter 516 She Kissed Him in Public

Sun Weimeng swallowed his saliva and said in a flattering tone: "When did you know?"

He and Qiao Xi still wanted to keep it a secret from Huo Xingzhou, for fear of upsetting him.

Huo Xingzhou snorted coldly: "The first time."

How could such news escape his ears?

He had been waiting for Sun Weimeng to confess all along the way, but he was like a dumb man. These two people actually wanted to hide such an important thing from him.

"hey-hey."

Sun Weimeng laughed dryly twice and looked at Qiao Xi for help.

Qiao Xi held Huo Xingzhou's arm, her eyes smiling: "Young Master Sun is just venting his anger on me. The bet was a trap set by someone. The other party came prepared, but we are not pushovers. I will definitely get through this round safely."

After the first round of confrontation, Qiao Xi actually had a general idea of ​​her opponent's abilities.

The second round is her strong point, and she will definitely get one of the ten places!

"Besides, would they let me go even without this bet?"

She shook the man's arm coquettishly.

"Um."

Huo Xingzhou responded indifferently.

Qiao Xi moved closer and coaxed him, "Don't be angry. Give me the needle bag. I'm going to prepare for the competition."

Huo Xingzhou stuffed the needle bag into her hand and Qiao Xi took it.

She asked in surprise, "Why this set? Last time you said you found it at an auction house, and it came with this needle bag embroidered with ginseng."

Huo Xingzhou smiled slightly: "It's just right to use this set of golden needles today. I hope my little miracle doctor can have a successful start!"

Qiao Xi pursed her lips and looked around, and found that not many people were looking at them.

So she stood on tiptoe, gave Huo Xingzhou a quick kiss on the cheek, and trotted briskly into the competition venue.

Sun Weimeng was stunned.

"She...you..."

Qiao Xi is introverted and a little old-fashioned.

She would never do overly intimate things at home, but she actually kissed Huo Xingzhou in the Chinese medicine clinic.

Sun Weimeng felt sour in his heart: "I didn't have enough breakfast, but I ate all the dog food."

Huo Xingzhou looked at him coldly: "If you lose, I will let you and Chen Xun go to the Arctic to get natural gas."

Sun Weimeng felt a chill on his back and immediately retracted his neck.

The conditions in the Arctic are very harsh.

Huo Xingzhou sneered and walked towards the VIP seats with his long legs. His eyes accidentally met Zhong Yi's and he sensed the hostility that the other party had not yet put away. Huo Xingzhou's mouth corners sank slightly and he stretched out his slender fingers to gently stroke the right cheek that Qiao Xi had kissed.

This move seemed to be a silent provocation.

Zhong Yi immediately turned his head away, his expression becoming even more sullen.

Wan Jiang was sitting on the side, trembling with fear. In the past few days, Master Zhong had used beauty tactics a lot. He was trembling with fear watching her flirt between the cousins, fearing that she would be exposed.

…

It's five minutes to ten.

The audience of the Chinese Medicine Hall was all seated, and the seats were even more crowded than the first round. Even the aisles in the back row were crowded with people, making it extremely crowded. The Chinese Medicine Association had no choice but to borrow 80 security guards to maintain order.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine Festival is held once every ten years, and no one who gets the news wants to miss it.

Sudden.

The crowd was noisy and restless!

"Mr. Huang Bingyi!"

"It's really Mr. Huang, the inheritor of the golden needle technique. He's here!"

"Look at the infield side gate! It's really him!"

"Today, Huang Bingyi is the judge, and Lu Bannong, as the president, is responsible for reading out the rules and procedures and maintaining order. As expected, the Chinese medicine community still values ​​qualifications and abilities! A few decades ago, the Chinese medicine community was full of contending schools of thought, each with its own strengths! That was a brilliant era..."

They all craned their necks to look at this old man who had once shocked the Chinese medicine community; the live cameras of television stations and media were all focused on him.

His hair was gray and his back was a little hunched.

Although he looked very old, he took steady steps. It was obvious that he was in good health.

His face was full of wrinkles, and the eyes behind his reading glasses were calm and seemed to have seen through the world. His expression was a little serious. People said he had a strange temper and was not easy to get along with. He spoke directly and rarely gave face to others.

A group of members of the Chinese Medicine Association surrounded him, and Lu Bannong politely and respectfully led the way for him.

"Mr. Huang, be careful with the steps. Please sit on the judges' seat. There is a high-definition screen here. If you want to take a closer look at the details of a contestant's operation, you can click on it. I heard that you like Maojian tea, so I specially asked them to prepare the best Maojian tea, paired with sweet but not greasy snacks."

This round of examination focuses on acupuncture and herbal medicine, which is considered practical.

So the equipment has caught up.

As the times change, Chinese medicine is also advancing with the times.

As soon as Huang Bingyi appeared on the judges' seat on the podium, the other four senior judges stood up and greeted him with a bit of respect in their words.

As Wong Ping Yee is 90 years old, he deserves the respect of these people.

What's more, he was once half of the traditional Chinese medicine community.

"You don't have to treat me specially. I'm the same as others." Huang Bingyi sat on the chair and put the pot of freshly brewed Maojian tea aside.

Lu Bangnong hit a soft nail, but he kept smiling: "Okay, then tell the staff if you have any needs. For today's acupuncture and decoction competition, I have arranged 20 volunteers, and they will be randomly assigned to the contestants by drawing lots. Let's see how good they are in actual practice."

Huang Bingyi responded expressionlessly and asked, "Is it the uniformly distributed needle, or did you bring your own?"

Lu Bannong said kindly, "They brought their own. These young children must have their own set of needles, so we were lenient with them."

Huang Bingyi took off his reading glasses and flipped through a book in front of him that introduced the rules and procedures of the needle test competition. He asked, "Are there no long needle inspections before the competition? Young people today are very smart, and Western medicine also has many special medicines that can affect the pulse in a short time."

If medicine is applied on the tip of the needle, it will affect the fairness of the competition.

A dark look flashed across Lu Bannong's eyes, and he quickly said, "You are very thoughtful. I will send someone to check it out now."

"I'll go there myself. I heard that the last set of gold needles I used appeared at the needle testing conference, so I'll take a look."

Lu Bangnong said modestly, "That was the golden needle that my daughter Yingxue spent a lot of effort to obtain. She admires your golden needle technique very much and has tried to learn the golden needle technique from the experience notes you left behind to improve her skills."

Huang Bingyi glanced at him and said nothing, then stood up and slowly walked down the stairs.

The judges behind him also followed suit, not daring to slack off at all.

Lu Bannong's gaze fell on Huang Bingyi's back, and he felt a little uneasy.

I always feel like things are out of control.

Huang Bingyi's authority was so great that even the other judges could not help but show some respect to him, and the needle-testing conference was clearly headed by him.

If he favored Qiao Xi...

Lu Bannong denied his own guess in his heart. Huang Bingyi and Cheng Han seemed to be at odds with each other back then, and they had quarreled several times.

Lu Bannong picked up the microphone and tried his voice.

Then he looked at the audience and announced that he would add a new procedure to check the needle bags brought by the players.

There was some commotion in the venue.

The twenty contestants for the second round had all taken their seats. Lu Yingxue was still standing in the front row, in a prominent position. Qiao Xi was standing a little further back, with Xiang Mingzhu on her left, Shen Xuanzhi on her right, and Li Songwen directly behind her.

Qiao Xi stood with her back straight, and out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of a person standing in the first row, trembling slightly.
