The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine-Chapter 786 - : Angry Pretense!
Chapter 786 -786: Angry Pretense!
“I have no gift prepared for you.” Huang Xiaolong shook his head straightforwardly. “I don’t know you at all.”
Refusal!
Huang Xiaolong actually refused Feng Hanyan out rightly!
Whoo~~~~!!
The whole crowd was in an uproar.
There was no sign of anger in Feng Hanyan’s eyes, but instead, a sense of interest.
Being the most beautiful woman among the top ten martial arts families in Huaxia, Feng Hanyan has received countless praises, pursuits, and flattery in her life.
No one has ever refused her before!
Not even Xuanyuan Ba would refuse her!
Even an extraordinary talent like Tang Jian would still try to please her and win her heart!
But this young man in front of her rejected her so cleanly, there was absolutely no hesitation!
“Oh…” Feng Hanyan looked thoughtfully at Huang Xiaolong.
As a matter of fact, Feng Hanyan happened to attend this martial arts exchange meeting hosted by Tang Jian today. She wasn’t interested in the wine, but came for Huang Xiaolong!
Lately, Feng Hanyan has heard about many people discussing Huang Xiaolong in various occasions. She herself is quite interested in his deeds. Knowing that Huang Xiaolong was in Ma City and annoyed Xuanyuan Sa into fury, and was going to attend this meeting, Feng Hanyan decided to come without making a noise.
She wanted to see what kind of person Huang Xiaolong really is and if he was as miraculous as the rumors said.
Upon first meeting, Huang Xiaolong indeed gave Feng Hanyan a mental shock she had never experienced before.
“Hahaha~~~” At this moment, Tang Jian breathed a sigh of relief. Initially, he was worried that Huang Xiaolong would become his rival in love but surprisingly, Huang Xiaolong ruthlessly rejected Feng Hanyan, which made Tang Jian relieved and he even began to ridicule him. “Brother Huang, aren’t you being a bit too stingy?”
The talented men all around started to criticize Huang Xiaolong, the look in their eyes when they looked at him became even more disdainful and disgusted.
“You have no decency or respect at all, get out of here! This meeting does not welcome you!” A haughty young man immediately glared and exclaimed at Huang Xiaolong.
Ji Zhengyu felt like sitting on pins and needles, he was sweating profusely, hesitantly saying. “Master… rejecting her… in public… might not be… might not be appropriate…why not…just gift something, even if it’s perfunctory… it’s better than… better than refusing, it’s more gentlemanly…”
To be honest, Ji Zhengyu, coming from a large family and being ingrained with etiquette since childhood, places much importance on face.
“Young Master Ji, I see that you’re quite embarrassed.” Huang Xiaolong laughed.
“Yes, I am… I am really embarrassed…” Ji Zhengyu wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Feng Hanyan, at this point, was sparked with a sense of defiance. She wasn’t interested in the gifts, including the four-stripe medicinal pill that Tang Jian gave her. But if you won’t give me one, I’ll insist on asking for one!
“Meeting is fate…” Feng Hanyan smiled faintly, her beauty was simply stunning. “Hanyan is not greedy, provided, everyone has given a gift, if the two of you could show some good intentions, then my birthday will be without any regrets.”
Feng Hanyan didn’t single out Huang Xiaolong to ask for a birthday gift, she included Ji Zhengyu as well.
Ji Zhengyu could not sit still, he, with a pleading tone, whispered to Huang Xiaolong. “Master…why not…give a few charms…”
“I’m really fed up with you!” Huang Xiaolong said somewhat impatiently. “Okay, I’ll give you a birthday gift.”
“I wonder…what kind of gift Brother Huang will give to Miss Hanyan?” Tang Jian sneered. He thought to himself, Huang Xiaolong reluctantly giving a gift seemed stingy, probably he won’t give any decent gift. Besides, no matter what gift he gives, it won’t compare to a four-stripe medicinal pill!
The accomplished men present were already deeply disgusted with Huang Xiaolong, and at this time, they were adding insult to injury, speaking ill of him –
“Miss Hanyan is a proud daughter of heaven, giving her an ordinary gift is blasphemy to her!”
“If the gift is not substantial, it is better not to give it, to avoid embarrassing yourself.”
“I’m afraid Miss Hanyan will throw the gift from this kid into the trash without mercy!”
…
“Well then, seeing as you seem to lack nothing, I’ll play a piece of music to wish you a happy birthday.” Huang Xiaolong noticed numerous ancient instruments such as guqin, pipa, and bamboo flutes placed in a corner of the garden. They must have been used as decorations.
As he said this, he stood up and walked over to where the instruments were kept and sat behind a zither.
At this moment, the entire garden burst into a fit of uncontrollable laughter.
A piece of music as a gift?
What a farce!
Such a gift is simply too childish!
The corner of Tang Jian’s mouth curled into an increasingly pronounced smirk. ‘Playing the zither? What a joke! We members of the ancient martial arts family love the old ways; the arts of the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting are ingrained in us. Even if you’re an expert on the zither, you can’t outmatch the musicians in our family. Besides, Miss Hanyan only ever showed interest in martial arts and feels nothing for music. I recall a time when a musician from the Feng Family played a zither near Miss Hanyan’s quarters. She was furious at the disturbance and had him banished… ‘
“It’s safe to say, Miss Hanyan despises these arts. Huang Xiaolong, do you think you can cater to her liking? You have really brought it upon yourself this time!”
Indeed, Feng Hanyan and Ying Aoshan are different. Ying Aoshan adores music while martial arts take a backseat. Feng Hanyan, however, relentlessly chases after martial arts and despises these arts, considering them distractions.
Especially music, it only serves to distract and prevents the practice of martial arts.
Seeing Huang Xiaolong preparing to play the Zither, disappointment flickered in Feng Hanyan’s heart. ‘Everyone says Huang Xiaolong is unique and always beyond expectation. But it turns out he is nothing but a regular man with a hollow reputation.’
However, out of politeness, Feng Hanyan smiled. “Thank you. I’m all ears,” she said.
Huang Xiaolong also smiled, his demeanor suddenly became somewhat lofty, his gaze shifting to the increasingly autumnal garden.
In a blink, his robe billowed without wind, an illusion of clouds roiled around him, accentuating his handsome visage.
Huang Xiaolong gently pressed his hands on the strings of the zither and said, “This piece isn’t merely about the melody… Listen carefully!”
The first note wafted out from the flicker of Huang Xiaolong’s ten fingers!
In an instant, all the ambient noise died away!
The enchanting notes, akin to gushing water from a lofty mountain, filled the garden.
Soothing! Unbelievably soothing! It could nearly make people forget all their worries and sorrows!

Even Feng Hanyan, who despised music, felt a sense of tranquility in her heart; the omnipresent notes seemed to be comforting her soul.
Pleasure!
Feng Hanyan felt that listening to Huang Xiaolong playing the zither was a pleasure! She closed her eyes and lost herself in the music!
Just then!
From all directions, a wonderful fragrance wafted over!
The crowd couldn’t help but open their eyes.
Something miraculous was happening!
All the budding flowers in the garden started blooming together!
It should be known, these flowers weren’t supposed to bloom during autumn!
Huang Xiaolong’s song seemed to trigger the flowers to bloom, vying to display their beauty!
It was as if a spring had been ushered into the garden in the middle of autumn!
“This…this…this…” Feng Hanyan’s eyes sparkled with an intoxicated glow, she couldn’t believe it!
