The two of them had an unbreakable relationship before, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they were not lonely talking and laughing along the way. They soon came to Mr. Xu's private villa - Xiangsong.

"You, Mr. Xu is waiting for you in the old place. I will not accompany you in if I have other things." Li Zhengyang turned his head and said to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian nodded understandingly, pushed open the car door and went out.

When I arrived at the private room, I found Mr. Xu lying on a bamboo chair, his eyes closed slightly, and a neat set of tea sets in front of me, waiting for him for a long time.

"Mr. Xu, are you looking for me?" Lin Tian took all his skills when he saw Mr. Xu, and acted cute and did everything he could.

The tricks that have been tried and done in the past are not good today, and Mr. Xu still closed his eyes slightly and seemed to have not heard them.

Lin Tian was still sitting beside him obediently, stretched out his hand to take Old Xu's pulse, and gave a detailed diagnosis.

When Mr. Xu saw that he stopped talking, but instead took his pulse, he felt funny and thought to himself: "This kid has so many tricks."

Now I couldn't hold back anymore and finally asked, "What was the result of your diagnosis and treatment just now?"

Seeing that Mr. Xu finally spoke, Lin Tian certainly stopped treating the patient with a sarcasm and said to the truth: "I just had a rest and didn't take your pulse."

"You..." Old Xu was so upset by him that he said, "Stupid boy!"

Lin Tian leaned over and said, "Mr. Xu, you are in such a good health, so what do you need to be treated?"

Mr. Xu no longer quarreled with him and said with a stern face, "Okay, okay, let's talk about some serious things!"

"I don't know, what are you talking about serious things?" Lin Tian said with a hippie smile.

"I heard that some time ago, you beat South Korea and the island countries. As a result, things have now become apprenticeship, right?"

When Lin Tian heard this, he knew that Mr. Xu was also paying attention to the news recently and immediately admitted: "It is true. The embassies of these two countries even have great powers to take the upper level route to put pressure on Tang Qiuhong, asking me to agree to agree to their apprenticeship..."

Mr. Xu thought for a moment and stopped talking.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Lin Tian felt strange and said, "Old Xu, have you heard something?"

Mr. Xu glanced at Lin Tian with a complimentary look. The reason why he always looked down on Lin Tian was, in addition to this kid's extraordinary medical skills, he was a low-key personality, and more importantly, his talent was a steadfast and smart person who could achieve great things.

"Then have you ever thought about why South Korea and the island countries are so anxious to become disciples to you?" Mr. Xu did not answer but changed the subject.

When Lin Tian heard his question, he understood most of the time. It turned out that this old man had something to remind himself?

When he thought of this, he replied seriously: "At first, I just felt that South Korea and the island countries deliberately turned the challenge into apprenticeship just to save face, but after thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong..."

Mr. Xu did not interrupt and listened patiently to him to continue to say the following words.

"They will do anything to ask me to agree to their conditions. Is it just to save face? That price is too high..."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Xu couldn't help but interrupt and said, "If it were you, what would you plan to do?"

"If it were me, I would directly declare to the public that the visiting group was a civil organization and they could only represent individuals. Is it okay that all actions have nothing to do with the official?"

Lin Tian's words hit Xu Lao's underestimation. He smiled with relief: "You kid is indeed very smart, but have you ever thought about why they should do this?"

Lin Tian nodded and said, "I have been thinking about this issue these days, and I have roughly thought of two points."

"Let's talk." Mr. Xu became more and more interested, and even urged with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Lin Tian nodded and said, "First, they want to borrow a disciple and want to alienate my relationship with my team..."

"How do you say this?"

"In view of the subtle relationship between China, South Korea, island countries and the three countries, there has been no information on controversial conflicts in history. Recently, the fishing island incident has caused some angry youth to criticize South Korea and the island countries. Once I took them away, this also made the angry youth feel guilty and turned from respect to me. If there are some of them that they dislike me, they will even curse me, which will damage my image."

"You care about your image now?" Mr. Xu's sudden question was very meaningful.

Lin Tian shook his head and replied, "Old Xu, I have never cared about personal gains and losses. Moreover, for me, even if I have been destroyed and scolded, I can accept it calmly. But now, Minister Tang Qiuhong of the Ministry of Health is working hard to build me into the brand image of traditional Chinese medicine, so as to boost the declining traditional Chinese medicine. Now is the critical moment. If my image is damaged, it will directly lead to the damage to the image of traditional Chinese medicine, which will lead to failure."

Old Xu's eyes flashed brightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, but he still didn't intend to interrupt the boy, and looked at him patiently.

Lin Tian picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip of tea to moisten the dry throat, put down the tea cup and continued: "Second, I suspect that they took advantage of the apprenticeship and then used the backhand to prevent me from interfering..."

"What does this mean?" Mr. Xu was confused by Lin Tian's words.

Lin Tian said seriously: "I have accepted them as apprentices. At that time, they will have another medical exchange meeting. I will definitely not be able to intervene as their master. They can be generous with other names in China, or even in my name. In this way, they can not only attack Chinese traditional Chinese medicine, but also destroy my reputation everywhere. This trick of killing two birds of life is really chilling..."

Mr. Xu laughed loudly, laughing happily, and Lin Tian was a little puzzled.

"Old Xu, why are you laughing so hard?"

After laughing, Mr. Xu sat up and tidied his wrinkled clothes and said, "You guy is so smart. You can think of the problem so hard that you can't reveal it. I was worried about you, but I didn't expect it was my worry."

"But..." Lin Tian was not complacent when he heard his praise, and admitted: "Although I thought about their next plan, I didn't think about how to deal with it. Moreover, they expected that the enemy would be the first, and they took the upper level route as soon as they came up, and they didn't plan to give me a chance to turn the tables. The so-called falling behind one step, and the current situation made me feel very moved."

After hearing what he said, Mr. Xu thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case. He said, "I have also inquired through some acquaintances. Someone has indeed received benefits, which has made things difficult all of a sudden. Now he cannot touch the person who accepts bribes. Once he is touched, he will alarm the enemy, which will affect our overall plan. Therefore, we can only find another way now."

Lin Tian did not ask who the person who received the benefits was in Mr. Xu's mouth. Of course he still understood the truth that he should ask and some things that he should not ask. However, Mr. Xu's considerations for him everywhere still touched him.

While moved, I was more puzzled and said in surprise: "Old Xu, I don't understand something very well. Can you tell me about it?"

"But it's okay!"

"I have no conflict of interests with you. At most, I will save your life. If I repay the kindness of saving my life, you will have already done it, but you are still giving the greatest support. I wonder why this is? Is it true that I want to see how high I fly as Uncle Li said?"

After Lin Tian told the question that had been puzzled by him for a long time, he couldn't help feeling relieved.

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't think so much. I just think you are about the same age as my grandson, but you are more capable than him. Therefore, I can't help but love talents and think about doing things for you in a simple way."

To be honest, Lin Tian was not satisfied with Mr. Xu's answer, but he could also see that Mr. Xu was sincerely helping him, without hiding any selfishness, and had never asked for anything. Just looking for this, Lin Tian felt that Mr. Xu could trust him.

"Okay, no matter what, Mr. Xu, I believe in you." Lin Tian said solemnly.

Mr. Xu waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite to me. No matter what, I will stand on your side."

"Thanks!"

"Boy, I'm so polite to the old man." Old Xu glanced at him, smiled and cursed, and then continued: "Don't leave to watch the show with me later. There is someone to come tonight, so I'll recommend it to you."

"Who is it?" Mr. Xu's solemn matter inevitably aroused Lin Tian's curiosity.

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "It's an old friend of mine. When he heard your name, he knew that you had extraordinary medical skills. He strongly asked to get to know you. He also bought the dinner tonight."

The more Mr. Xu said, the more mysterious it became, Lin Tian felt more and more magical. He said that the pool of Yanjing is very deep and has a lot of mind in all aspects. In addition, Lin Tian has indeed shown his strength recently, so it is normal for someone to know him.

Anyway, Lin Tian stopped asking questions, sat obediently beside Mr. Xu, watching the Kunqu opera "Peony Pavilion" performing the first-floor stage.

The full name of "The Peony Pavilion" is "The Resurrection of the Soul of the Peony Pavilion", and is collectively known as "The Four Dreams of Yumingtang" together with "The Purple Hairpin", "The Record of Handan" and "The Record of Nanke". The play praises the spirit of young men and women who boldly pursue free love and firmly oppose feudal ethics. It exposes and criticizes the hypocrisy and cruelty of "preserving the principles of heaven and destroying human desires" in Neo-Confucianism, forming an impact on the thought and culture of the period of decline of feudal society.

More importantly, "Peony Pavilion" is a representative work of Tang Xianzu, a great musician in the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Tian didn't know much about Kunqu Opera, but he had read history and heard of Tang Xianzu. Besides, there was nothing to do with the old man besides watching dramas. He was so calm that he could see him with relish.

Before he knew it, the sky gradually darkened, and the mysterious figure in Mr. Xu's mouth also surfaced, which made Lin Tian feel a little excited. Li Zhengyang also parked the car outside the Xiangsong gate to pick them up.
