Chapter 605 - 0607 Ordinary Friends
Chu Ge did not speak, and it was evident that Nangong Xiang had no intention of letting him go. He pressed, "I wonder if Mr. Chu is renowned in the world of martial arts? How is his medical skill? Has he ever done anything amazing?"
Chu Ge looked at him indifferently, the corners of his lips slowly curling into a faint smile. "I’m afraid you might be disappointed. I am not well-known in the world of martial arts, and my medical skills are mediocre at best. I haven’t treated many people."
The words Chu Ge spoke were mostly true to his current situation, with only one sentence being modest.
However, in Nangong Xiang’s ears, it sounded overly modest. He looked at Chu Ge with disdain and snorted, "Mr. Chu, it’s better to be more realistic in life."
The implication was that one should not be arrogant, it’s better to be realistic. Such arrogance clearly showed he didn’t consider them worth his attention.
Nangong Xiang is a very proud man, particularly given his status which entails facing people who flatter him daily, hearing more flattery than the salt he consumes in a day.
Naturally, he was displeased with Chu Ge’s attitude.
Chu Ge utterly disregarded him, especially the expression on his face clearly showed he didn’t take him seriously.
Nangong Xiang found Chu Ge even less pleasant to look at, and he turned his criticism towards Nangong Yunhai, saying, "Yun Hai, your sister too, why does she bring just anyone home to treat Grandfather?"
Nangong Yunhai had just heard what Chu Ge said, and he assumed Chu Ge was being modest, as he had personally witnessed Chu Ge’s real capabilities.
