Chapter 481: A Special Technique Of A Special Family

Pei Feng did not express his real thoughts about Huo Yao out of courtesy. Instead, he smiled and said, “Dad, even Huo Yao said it’s hard to breed, so stop bragging.”

Pei Feng that idiot!

Old Mr. Pei inhaled deeply and suppressed his annoyance. He waved his hand. “Go away and stop ruining the atmosphere.”

Pei Feng noticed that his father was genuinely angry. Since he had achieved what he came to do, he quickly left.

Old Mr. Pei gently sighed as Pei Feng left. He did not have the cheek to continue talking about the Buddha rhizome. “My boy was rude. Sorry about that.”

“It’s fine.” Huo Yao smiled without taking it to heart. She stood up and said, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

She quickly left the hall.

Old Mr. Pei veered his eyes away and looked at the table. He suddenly smiled sadly and sighed again. “He is so narrow-sighted.”

Min Yu glanced at Old Mr. Pei rather expressionlessly. “It is in his personality to behave so.”

Old Mr. Pei shook his head. “Let’s stop talking about him and letting him affect our mood.”

Min Yu slowly poured Old Mr. Pei a cup of tea. “Have some tea.”

Old Mr. Pei took a few sips before he raised his head and looked at Min Yu.

After studying his face for half a minute, he said, “It seems that you have gotten a lot better. Has Huo Yao performed acupuncture for you recently?”

“Uh huh,” replied Min Yu as he leaned into his seat lazily.

A knowing expression appeared on Old Mr. Pei’s face before he went quiet. “Huo Yao’s acupuncture skills are really amazing. I have never seen such an unusual way to perform acupuncture.”

Although Old Mr. Pei had only seen Huo Yao apply the needles and did not see her actually probe the acupuncture points, he could tell that it was unusual judging from the way she applied the needles.

Min Yu raised his brow in surprise. “So you haven’t seen this method before either?”

Old Mr. Pei nodded. “Uh huh. Her technique is very unusual. It is completely unconventional in comparison to the usual acupuncture treatment.”

Old Mr. Pei could not help thinking about the legendary Shangguan clan.

Although little was known about their family history, rumor had it that they were well-versed in acupuncture.

They were capable of saving someone, who was on the brink of death, with their acupuncture technique.

However, this was all hearsay passed down through the generations, so no one could vouch for its veracity.

Despite Huo Yao’s unique acupuncture technique, it probably had nothing to do with the Shangguan clan. It was already a mystery whether the clan truly existed to begin with.

Old Mr. Pei gathered his thoughts. He did not share his speculation with Min Yu.

He smiled and said, “There is talent among the young. I’m getting old, so I have to admit defeat.”

Min Yu glanced at Old Mr. Pei and said, “You’re too modest.”

Old Mr. Pei shook his head and stood up. “Young Master Min, make yourself comfortable. Old Mr. Yi’s grandson is the chef today, so I’m going to check on him.”

Min Yu nodded and Old Mr. Pei quickly left from there.

Huo Yao managed to find the bathroom with the help of the servants and bumped into Pei Feng on her way back.

Pei Feng was talking to Old Mr. Yi’s disciple at the time.
