Chapter 828: Chapter 828

"Mr. Fang... Mr. Fang, hello!"

With his head bowed and face flushed, Hua Yi approached Fang Bai, gave him a deep bow, and actually performed the courtesy due to one’s junior.

Hua Yi did this because his grandfather, Hua Chun, had expressly instructed him to do so.

Fang Bai’s reputation in the Huaxia medical community had already surpassed that of the "four great National Doctors" of Huaxia; even Hua Tianhe, the foremost figure of the Hua Family, held Fang Bai in high regard, so how much more respect should Hua Yi, a junior member of the Hua Family, demonstrate?

Hua Yi also knew that although Fang Bai was the youngest among the four members of the Fang Family, his words carried significant weight. If he wanted his relationship with Fang Yun to blossom into fruition, he had to get past Fang Bai first.

Fang Bai remained silent, but his scrutinizing gaze was fixed on Hua Yi.

This silence brought an intangible pressure upon Hua Yi, causing cold sweat to rapidly break out on his body.

"Little brother, Hua Yi is greeting you!"

Seeing her brother’s somewhat cold demeanor toward Hua Yi, Fang Yun couldn’t help but chide him.

"Sis, I have a few questions to ask Hua Yi. You don’t need to come along! Hua Yi, let’s talk outside," said Fang Bai, shooting Hua Yi a glance and then heading outside to stand under a tree by the roadside.

Hua Yi didn’t know what Fang Bai wanted to talk about. Glancing at Fang Bai’s retreating figure, he felt intimidated and dared not follow.

Fang Yun pursed her lips outwardly, saying, "Don’t be afraid, my little brother won’t give you a hard time! Just answer his questions honestly."

Hua Yi nodded, took a deep breath, and walked lightly to Fang Bai’s side.

"When did you and my sister start dating?"

Fang Bai asked, gazing indifferently at the vehicles passing by on the street.

"Two months ago," Hua Yi replied cautiously.

Fang Bai nodded and said, "It’s clear to see, my sister really likes you. And your feelings for my sister..."

"Mr. Fang, I also like Yun, and my feelings for her are sincere and genuine!"

Before Fang Bai could finish, Hua Yi straightened his chest and declared emphatically.

Fang Bai gave him a look and said sternly, "Good, I’ll remember what you said! I hope that you will always treat my sister well. If one day you betray her, I will never forgive you!"

Hearing Fang Bai say this, Hua Yi knew that Fang Bai did not object to his relationship with his sister. Overjoyed, he nodded vigorously and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Fang. If I ever betray Fang Yun, may I be struck by lightning and suffer a miserable death!"

Fang Bai could see that Hua Yi indeed loved his sister from the bottom of his heart. He said, "Since you and my sister are mutually in love, I will not oppose your being together. However, my sister is exceptionally talented and is destined to go far on the path of Martial Dao. If you want to keep up with my sister, you must double your efforts."

Having sparred with Fang Yun in martial arts after they got to know and fall in love with each other, Hua Yi was far from her match. Hearing Fang Bai’s words, he blushed and said with embarrassment, "I understand! I will definitely work hard!"

After contemplating, Fang Bai said, "You are my sister’s boyfriend, not an outsider. From now on, don’t call me ’Mr. Fang.’ Just call me by my name!"

Without waiting for Hua Yi to speak, Fang Bai immediately followed up with, "Although your Hua Family is an ancient clan that cultivates both medicine and martial arts, I’m not afraid to say something that may offend you: in my eyes, both your family’s ancient medical knowledge and martial arts are only average."

If this had been said in the past, Hua Yi would have certainly argued back, but now Fang Bai’s fame had spread throughout Yanjing, and the entire Huaxia medical community knew he was the "Miraculous Rejuvenation" Divine Doctor. Even Hua Tianhe, the number one person of the Hua Family, felt inferior and willingly admitted defeat. How could Hua Yi, a junior member of the Hua Family, dare to refute Fang Bai’s words?

So even though Fang Bai was belittling the Hua Family, Hua Yi could only listen obediently.

"I’ll be staying in Zhongzhou City for a few days this time. If you don’t have anything important to do during these days, come often to the Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic to find me. I’ll teach you some medical knowledge and martial arts techniques,"

Fang Bai said to Hua Yi.

Fang Bai intended to mentor Hua Yi, to put him on the "fast track" in martial arts and medical skills, so that he wouldn’t be left too far behind by his sister, Fang Yun, in the future.

Hua Yi had heard that several interns at Yanjing Hospital, where Fang Bai was working, had made rapid progress in their medical skills after receiving casual guidance from Fang Bai, becoming renowned Divine Doctors.

After this story got out, Hua Chun, the Hua Family Patriarch, was extremely envious and often said that if someone from the Hua Family could receive guidance from Fang Bai, they wouldn’t have to worry about the future of the family.

Now, hearing that Fang Bai was going to take the initiative to teach him medical knowledge and martial arts techniques, Hua Yi thought he was dreaming. He pinched himself to make sure it was real and was overwhelmed with excitement.

If it weren’t for the thought that he would become Fang Bai’s brother-in-law in the future, Hua Yi might have very well knelt on the ground to show his respect and offer a traditional ceremonial bow as a disciple.

After chatting for a while, Fang Bai sent Hua Yi away and called Fang Yun out separately.

"Yun treats me really well! Truly!"

When Fang Bai asked about Hua Yi, Fang Yun, although a bit shy, still responded earnestly.

"Hmm, I’ve already warned Hua Yi," Fang Bai said with a smile, "If he ever dares to treat you poorly in the future, I’ll be the first to not let him off the hook!"

Fang Yun rolled her eyes and said, "Yun is both respectful and afraid of you. You should scare him less in the future!"

Fang Bai laughed heartily a few times, and then his expression became serious as he said solemnly, "Sister, I don’t oppose your relationship with Hua Yi, but there is something I must remind you of!"

Seeing the unprecedented seriousness on Fang Bai’s face, Fang Yun’s heart skipped a beat.

Fang Bai seemed to hesitate to broach the subject. After a moment’s pause, he finally spoke in a low voice, "Before you reach the Innate Realm, it is best not to... not to lose your virginity..."

Fang Yun didn’t expect Fang Bai to be referring to such a matter. She blushed furiously and retorted, "Little brother, are you out of your mind? You try to manage everything!"

Fang Bai replied with a wry smile, "Sister, I’m being serious! A martial artist will greatly impact their future cultivation if they lose their Prime Yang or Primordial Yin Body before advancing to the Innate Realm. You have the Innate Spiritual Root, and you could make great achievements on the path of Martial Dao. I don’t want to see you ruin your prospects."

Seeing that Fang Bai was serious, Fang Yun no longer doubted his intentions. She bit her lip and asked, "Then... What about after advancing to the Innate Realm? Do I no longer need to maintain chastity?"

Fang Bai nodded, "That’s right, after advancing to the Innate Realm, your foundation is considered to be thoroughly solid. After that, if you learn some cultivation techniques that involve both male and female practitioners, it can actually be beneficial to both parties’ cultivation."

As he said this, he smiled and added, "If two people’s love is long-lasting, it doesn’t rest on merely being together all day long. If Hua Yi truly loves and cares for you, I think he will understand."
