“R-King Medi—I mean, Academy Chair!” zhao Jun was half surprised but remained formal.
Medicinal King Baili Cheng smiled faintly and nodded his head slightly in response to the greeting Zhao Jun made.
“You impressed me so much, Xiao Jun,” comments later.
“You made fun of me, Chairman.”
“No, no. I earnestly. And in fact, it's a pity because I didn't know that you had a lot of hidden talent like this. It's my fault I didn't try to get to know you more deeply at first. I seem to really doubt the views of my Daughter.”
Zhao Jun did not know how to comment. Moreover, he understood very well what the character of this Medicinal King Baili Cheng was like.
The meeting and cooperation that the two of them had done in the past, made him understand that the King of Medicine was a person who was being frank even though his entire sentence sounded good in the ear.
He is not the type of person who likes to brag, praise without objective judgment, or often mince words with strangers.
And here, the King of Medicine generously praised him thus, it was certain that he had made it into the sight of the King of Medicine. That way, maybe the journey ahead will be a little easier.
“Although this is not in my plan, but getting more support from the King of Medicine will help me to reach my goal faster than I should.”
As Zhao Jun's inner being began to roil with some of his plans and thoughts ahead, Medicine King Baili Cheng seemed to scrutinize Zhao Jun's expression intently.
“Xiao Jun, I want to see you play that sword technique again.”
Zhao Jun raised his gaze and blinked for a while, before finally nodding in agreement.
“Good!”
After that, Zhao Jun then took back the wooden branch he had placed on the ground in honor of the arrival of the Medicinal King Baili Cheng, then started walking to where he had previously practiced.
“Huft!”
Sighing for a moment, Zhao Jun then began to put on the stance of the horses, before finally restarting the training he had ended abruptly.
“HYA!”
While swinging his hand that held a wooden branch like a real sword, Zhao Jun focused his focus straight forward. Although there was nothing there, but he acted as if there was an enemy that he deserved to attack.
As a result, Zhao Jun's hand swings became increasingly agile and shrewd by the minute.
He swung the twig in his hand to the right and to the left, smoothing it forward or backward. Increasingly, not only was the sword swing technique he displayed, but also his martial technique.
“HYAP!”
‘SHREK!’
Zhao Jun's feet slapped the ground steadily. The cover managed to make the dust fly randomly and billow to form a faint thin smoke.
However, his actions did not stop here alone.
He continued to maneuver very clever movements, until finally finished with a sideways standing attitude. His right hand held a twig, pointing straight ahead, in the direction he had targeted earlier.
“Hmph!!!”
A light snort became the end of his entire series of martial exercises today. Both his sword technique and martial technique turned out to remain just as good, just like the past.
Merely, now Zhao Jun felt his breathing was extremely limited. He had to be clever at stabilizing his breathing so that he would not fall out of breath.
Meanwhile, the Medicinal King Baili Cheng who had earlier observed Zhao Jun's entire movement, was still unmoved in his place.
His expression looked very serious with a slight frown on his forehead. His aura also became slightly heavier than before. In his eyes, strange rays began to move faintly.
Zhao Jun didn't notice it. He was too focused on restoring the stability of his breathing and walked over to the Medicinal King Baili Cheng without the slightest suspicion.
“Academy Chief,” sweep first. Now his breath is regular and his face color looks fresher.
Unfortunately, the Medicinal King Baili Cheng did not respond to him. He still seemed to be swept away in his deep and solemn mind. Inevitably, this made Zhao Jun's curiosity increase.
“Academy Chief?” Zhao Jun called out to him once more. “King Medicine Baili Cheng?”
It was only after Zhao Jun called out with his original nickname that the Medicinal King Baili Cheng came to a realization from his sea of reverie.
With a little surprise, he looked at Zhao Jun after goal. “I'm sorry, Xiao Jun. I seemed to have fallen into a daydream just now.”
Zhao Jun shook his head briefly. “No problem, Chairman. You definitely have a lot of things to take care of.”
“No, not so. Merely, I feel that both the sword technique as well as the martial technique that you did just that I have seen before,” Refuted Medicine King Baili Cheng then.
Zhao Jun's expression changed. He scanned the face of the Medicinal King Baili Cheng carefully. Some thoughts even started to cross his head.
“Really, Chairman?” he tries to stay calm.
Nevertheless, Zhao Jun secretly also began to dig into his memories in the past. He wondered also in his heart.
Whether he had ever displayed his martial skills in front of the Medicinal King Baili Cheng or not. Moreover, his martial technique was very distinctive and not everyone could do it.
“Ya!” Medicine King Baili Cheng suddenly exclaimed as he patted his own hands. “I finally remember! I have indeed seen martial skills like this before!”
Instantly, Zhao Jun's mind was blown away. His focus was gone and his two eyes spontaneously looked at the face of the Medicinal King Baili Cheng who looked slightly radiant but also a bit sad at once.
“B-Really, Chairman? Where have you previously seen such martial skills?” respond Zhao Jun a little worried. His brain worked hard to find an alibi.
Medicinal King Baili Cheng nodded solemnly. In fact, there was a faint smile on his face.
“Yes. I once saw a martial skill like you did it 5 years ago, when I met with Physician Genius Zhao for the first time in Nan Empire.”
Zhao Jun's heart slipped. He finally remembered it.
The incident 5 years ago that brought him together with the King of Medicine Baili Cheng, to make the two build cooperation in the field of medicine two countries, can not be separated from his memory!
Now, what should he do?
“That time, Physician Genius Zhao was training alone in the courtyard of his Heavenly Medicine Hall. And I came to visit with Imperial Emperor Nan without telling him first.”
“The skills and techniques used are really almost exactly the same, although there are some differences in terms of shrewdness and energy laying between the two of you.”
“Only, Xiao Jun, this makes me quite curious and interested in you. You, learn such sword martial skills and techniques from where?”
“Aren't you just a poor young man who lived in the outskirts of the capital of the Nan Empire?”
“But Yan'er said, you also have expertise in medicine. Actually, where did you learn things like this from? Do you have any natural talent?”
