Chapter 229: Grandmaster Guidance, Intermediate Acupuncture!_1

Second update,

...

Cai Pingyuan didn't disturb Qin Fang and Ma Yunzhi. He acted as if he hadn't seen anything and hummed a tune from Peking opera as he returned to drink tea.

When Elder Ma returned, Qin Fang noticed immediately. Upon entering the courtyard, the two exchanged glances. Elder Ma nodded at Qin Fang without approaching and went straight to Cai Pingyuan.

Qin Fang had intended to look for Cai Pingyuan, but his unscrupulous master just waved his hand, signaling Qin Fang to carry on with whatever he was doing. Thus, Qin Fang had no choice but to continue learning acupuncture skills from Ma Yunzhi.

Elder Ma, named Ma Pingzhang, was somewhat older than Cai Pingyuan and was already over eighty years of age. Yet, he did not look like an octogenarian at all, appearing as hale and hearty as Cai Pingyuan.

"Brother Cai, I really must congratulate you," said Elder Ma with a chuckle. "You've taken on such a fine disciple. You must be feeling much relieved now, eh?"
