During this period, as the organizer, Sun Yiran had to go up to greet the guests, leaving Shi Wan sitting alone aside.
The scene just now had caught the eyes of many people. As soon as Sun Yiran left, Shi Wan became their target.
"Excuse me, miss. What's your relationship with Sun Yiran?"
"An acquaintance."
Everyone: "..."
It was like saying nothing.
Liu Shi, an impatient man, stepped forward. "Shi Wan, stop acting so oddly. Those who are asking you questions now are no ordinary people."
"Oh?" She raised her eyebrows and sized them up. "Does she have three heads and six arms or an extra eye?"
"You!"
"Don't bother me if you have nothing to do. This is a serious academic exchange meeting, not a place for you to pick on me."
Shi Wan's nonchalant tone carried a chill that sent shivers down people's spines.
Liu Shi was stunned for a moment and then completely enraged. "What's your attitude? Every person here is more famous than you! Moreover, this is not your territory. Do you really think you're something just because you saved a few people? And you didn't even use traditional Chinese medicine. What are you showing off for?"
"First of all, I've never been the one to pick a fight. This is neither my home - ground nor yours. Don't act like the host and make demands on me." She added, "If this were your event, I wouldn't even bother to come."
"You!" Liu Shi stamped his feet in anger. "If this were my event, I'd never let someone like you in!"
"Hey, young people are just impulsive. It's not the time to make a scene. Apologize and we can talk things out nicely."
Someone stepped in as a peace - maker, but their words and actions implied that Shi Wan was in the wrong.
"Right. Mr. Liu, don't bother arguing with a child. Young people are hot - tempered. It's understandable."
"I wonder who invited this person. How could she be so ill - behaved?"
"How do you know she was invited? Maybe she sneaked in. All the invited guests are big shots. What achievements can a child possibly have in traditional Chinese medicine?"
"You know, she was also on the list from City M this time."
"So what? In the end, weren't they saved by traditional Chinese medicine? It wasn't her who saved them."
"..."
"Well, an apology is indeed in order."
Hearing this, Liu Shi put on a show. "That's more like it. Hurry up and apologize."
"Right. It's normal for a young girl to be impulsive. Just apologize nicely."
"If it were me, an apology wouldn't be enough!"
The people around looked disdainful.
Shi Wan said casually, "Apologize then. I'm waiting."
"What did you say?" Liu Shi seemed to hear a hilarious joke. "You want me to apologize to you?"
"Hahaha! This is the biggest joke I've ever heard!"
Those who heard it couldn't help but laugh. A child, whose status and qualifications were far inferior to theirs, was asking Liu Shi to apologize? Wasn't she just humiliating herself?
They'd have her kicked out in a moment.
"You're disrespectful for your age."
Liu Shi's smile froze. "What did you say?"
"You're disrespectful for your age. Did you hear that clearly?"
"Someone! Come quickly!" Liu Shi was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. "Kick this person out right away! How dare she be so insolent!"
"What's going on?"
Sun Yiran's voice came. Since he was the organizer, if something went wrong and he offended someone, it would be hard for him to explain later.
"Mr. Sun, this person is causing trouble openly. For the sake of the order here, please kick her out." Liu Shi was extremely angry. "Does she really think she's a divine doctor just because she saved a few people? Isn't she just a packaged celebrity?"
Sun Yiran looked in the direction he pointed at, his face remaining unchanged.
Liu Shi beside him kept spouting slurs.
"How can a person be so bad? I think we should thoroughly investigate her medical license. Who on earth invited her? Did they take a bribe?"
Seeing Sun Yiran's face getting darker and darker, Liu Shi got more and more carried away. In the end, he even wished he could kick the person out himself.
"Shut up!" Sun Yiran was so angry that the flesh on his face was trembling. "Your mouth is so dirty. Should I have someone wash it for you?"
"Yes. A little girl who looks so ordinary said such vicious things. She should be taught a good lesson and then kicked out so that she knows there's always someone better."
Everyone vaguely felt that something was off, but they couldn't figure out what it was.
"I'm talking to you!" Sun Yiran looked ugly. "Who gave you the guts to say such things? Should a young person be looked down upon? Let me tell you, even I wouldn't..."
"Senior Brother."
Just as Sun Yiran was scolding vigorously, he suddenly heard Shi Wan's affectionate voice. His fierce and ugly face instantly softened.
"Hey, senior brother is here." He scurried to Shi Wan's side. "Look clearly, everyone. This is my junior sister. She's someone we dare not bully. Who dares to say a word against her?"
In this world, the only people who had ever hit Shi Wan without making her angry were probably her master and her grandmother. Usually, they didn't even dare to say a harsh word to her. So who were these people to do so?
"What... what did you say?"
Everyone present was shocked. Weren't they told that the person was about thirty years old?
How could it be a young girl?
"Yes, she's my junior sister!"
"Senior Brother..." Tai Yong rushed over when he heard the commotion. When he saw the person beside Shi Wan, his eyes lit up. "Junior Sister?!"
Everyone: "..."
Well, it was confirmed.
No one had expected that the last disciple Zhou Ruo took in would be a young girl.
Didn't that mean that this young girl had been studying medicine since childhood?
Thinking of this, everyone gasped.
What kind of little monster was this?
She had become a divine doctor at such a young age. Although she wasn't famous for traditional Chinese medicine, with such a title, how bad could she be?
They had been misled just now. Why hadn't they thought of this relationship?
"Ah - I just remembered. There was a rumor that Zhou Ruo's third disciple was the most talented one, and her medical skills were comparable to Zhou Ruo's herself. But since no one had ever seen her, few people mentioned it."
Everyone looked at each other with complicated expressions. Didn't that mean she was even more powerful than Sun Yiran and Tai Yong?
Sun Yiran praised, "Yes, my junior sister is indeed more talented than us useless senior brothers."
Everyone: "..."
Useless?
Then what were they?
They couldn't compare to the two senior brothers at the same age. And now, there was a junior sister who had achieved more at such a young age.
How were they supposed to live with this?
"Junior Sister, what happened? Why is everyone gathered here? And why are the security guards coming?"
Tai Yong sensed that the atmosphere around was a bit strange.
"Well... someone said they wanted to kick me out."
"Who?!"
Tai Yong, who always claimed to be gentle and elegant, instantly lost his composure. Everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back.
It seemed that the junior sister was a taboo for the two senior brothers.
"Who wants to kick my junior sister out?"
Everyone looked at Liu Shi, who was standing there, stunned and at a loss.
"Him!"
Liu Shi: "..."
His head was buzzing.
"Someone, kick him out!"
"Wait." Shi Wan stopped them. "Senior Brother, there's no need to kick him out. This is an exchange meeting after all. There's no need to make a big deal out of such a small thing."
"Listen to the junior sister."
