Chapter 1057: Chapter 1062: Brothers Arrive

After the farce, Lin Feng finally had time to taste the herbal chicken soup sent by Su Zi.

Opening the soup pot, a thick scent of traditional Chinese medicine wafted out, instantly filling the entire ward. freewebnøvel.coɱ

This medicinal aroma... is way too strong, even heavier than the prescription he concocted! Lin Feng frowned, looking at Su Zi speechlessly...

"How is it? Isn’t it fragrant!" Su Zi didn’t notice Lin Feng’s awkward expression and proudly smiled at him, "I put lots of valuable herbs into the soup. Just from my dad’s treasured century-old ginseng, I added two entire pieces..."

"Century-old ginseng? Two pieces?! And you just boiled them into this one pot of soup?!" Lin Feng’s eyes widened in horror, staring at Su Zi.

Indeed, it was shocking. With China’s development over the years, many old forests have been destroyed, and most ginseng sold in the market is artificially cultivated. Finding a genuinely effective old ginseng is already extremely rare, let alone the legendary century-old ginseng...

Almost every piece of century-old ginseng is a rare asset worth millions, and not easily available for purchase. Only someone like Su Zhenxian could easily get hold of such vintage ginseng...

Moreover, even for Su Zhenxian, obtaining such valuable century-old ginseng usually meant storing it as treasure for future use. But who would have thought it would be wasted by Su Zi just like that...

Typically, a single tendril of century-old ginseng could sustain a dying person for a while and rapidly restore their vitality in a short period. This is the life-extending effect of century-old ginseng, something money can’t buy.

In other words, Su Zi’s bowl of ginseng soup she gave to Lin Feng was made from ingredients worth at least several million. From this perspective, Lin Feng seemingly ought to taste its flavor.

With this thought, Lin Feng finally picked up the spoon with a solemn look, scooped up a spoonful of the soup, and gently placed it in his mouth...

Under Su Zi’s extremely expecting gaze, Lin Feng’s eyebrows stitched together in an instant...

Bitter! Very bitter! So terribly bitter! This was the only thought in Lin Feng’s mind; besides bitterness, this soup absolutely had no other flavor. Truly worthy of Miss Su’s craftsmanship—undoubtedly a dark culinary masterpiece, Lin Feng almost drowned in it...

"How is it, how does it taste?!" Su Zi continued to ask Lin Feng about the flavor, as if really anticipating his praise...

Lin Feng bitterly hesitated for a long time before giving a fair assessment, "Great, the ginseng flavor is quite strong..."

Of course, when you put two pieces of century-old ginseng to stew, the flavor would inevitably be strong!

"Oh really..." Su Zi giggled, "I’m glad you like it. My dad still has a few pieces of old ginseng stored away; I’ll make you another pot tomorrow..."

"No..." Lin Feng forced a smile, raising a hand to stop Su Zi, "This soup is too nourishing, I’m afraid I can’t handle it. Let’s save it for another time..."

To not waste the medicinal potency of the century-old ginseng, Lin Feng was already prepared to reluctantly swallow Su Zi’s concoction which was even more unpalatable than Cantonese herbal tea, but just this once...

On one hand, Lin Feng didn’t want to try such unappetizing soup again; on the other hand, he wanted to save some family treasures for Old Su, lest Su Zi actually squander all his stock, unbeknownst how much Old Su would resent him for it!

Sitting nearby and watching the scene, Xue Qingyi observed everything with a smirk... Although Lin Feng is considered a ’Divine Doctor’, he doesn’t really like taking medicine, especially traditional Chinese medicine, and at the same time, Lin Feng hates waste. Today Su Zi’s maneuver certainly left Lin Feng at a loss!

Twenty minutes later, Lin Feng finally set down the soup pot with a bitter smile. Not only did he finish the soup, but he also swallowed some of the ginseng residue... Su Zi’s cooking didn’t quite extract all the medicinal properties.

Until this moment, Su Zi still thought her soup-making skills were impressive. Seeing Lin Feng finished the soup thoroughly without uttering a single harsh word, Su Zi almost felt exceedingly conceited...

"Su Zi, let Lin Feng rest and absorb the medicinal benefits..." Xue Qingyi said while tidying the soup pot and pulling Su Zi towards the exit.

"Okay..." Su Zi laughed heartily; taking the soup pot from Xue Qingyi, she went straight home, where she spotted some leftover soup she had prepared before heading out and felt curious...

"Lin Feng drank with such dedication, I haven’t tasted it myself. How could that be..." Su Zi thought to herself while picking up a spoon to try the chicken soup...

The next second, Su Zi’s expression turned rigid, her eyes closed slightly, her face turning pale...

"Pfft..." Su Zi almost spat out the soup like she was scalded by boiling water...

"It’s actually... actually... this unpalatable?!" Tears welled up in Su Zi’s eyes in disbelief as she stared at the soup. She couldn’t imagine that Lin Feng just downed such a large pot completely!

Why did Lin Feng do that... Su Zi’s heart raced a bit, could it be Lin Feng only did it not to embarrass me by not revealing the truth?!

He must surely like me, right... Otherwise, why would he finish off such a hard-to-swallow soup? It must be because it’s my cooking that he didn’t waste it... It must be the case!

Full of happiness, Su Zi held onto the spoon, daydreaming about Lin Feng’s affection for her, laughing somewhat foolishly all the while.

...

Imperial City International Airport.

A flight from Jiangzhou, after more than two hours of flying, finally landed smoothly on the runway, and out came two men, tall and short, from first class...

"Brother Zhou, we came to Imperial City without notifying anyone. Won’t Boss be upset..." The shorter Fatty shivered in the fierce cold winds at the Imperial City, feeling a bit guilty as he asked.

"Of course not..." The tall man slightly adjusted his sunglasses, cast an annoyed glance at Fatty, and said casually, "Xiang Wang, can’t you be more assertive? We’re here to avenge Brother Feng, and you’re already scared stiff before even getting off the plane. It’s too disgraceful!"

As it turned out, the two men who got off the plane were Xiang Wang and Zhou Yang from Jiangzhou, who were here to help Lin Feng!

They heard Lin Feng was set up in Imperial City and was seriously injured, which made them agitated. They initially wanted to rush to Imperial City to meet up with Lin Feng and Xue Qingyi directly, but as Lin Feng left, he handed them the vast assets of Longfeng Martial Hall to manage, so they couldn’t just bolt. After somewhat arranging personnel to handle affairs, they dashed to Imperial City in a hurry...
