Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

The music stopped, the lion dancers froze in place, and all the guests turned to look.

Jin Jiucheng sat on the birthday altar, his wine cup hovering in mid-air, his face gradually darkening.

"Cheng Lie, what kind of behavior is this, all flustered and in such a hurry?"

The old man's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an air of authority, and the entire courtyard fell silent.

"Grandpa! Someone wants to kill me, they've even targeted our Jin family, and they're offering 10 billion to save my life. They're already at the manor!"

Kim Sung-yeol knelt before the birthday altar, tears and snot streaming down his face.

The main courtyard immediately erupted in chaos.

"What? Someone dares to attack the Jin family?"

"Is he crazy? Doesn't he even know what day it is? How dare he do that?"

"Ten billion? That's not just money, that's lives!"

"Could it be a retainer of some family? Knowing that all the experts from the Jin family are here today, is he deliberately trying to cause trouble?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Among the guests were business tycoons, high-ranking officials, extraordinary individuals who had arrived in the capital ahead of the Extraordinary People Conference, and many martial artists who were on good terms with the Jin family.

No one expected that someone would dare to brazenly show up at Mr. Jin's door on his 90th birthday.

Jin Jiucheng narrowed his eyes slightly. "Oh? Who is this person?"

"The other person's name is Chu Nan, and he's a junior doctor at the Beihai Community Clinic!"

"Beihai? Chu Nan?"

Jin Jiucheng seemed to be recalling the name, then shook his head after a moment, "Never heard of it."

"Grandpa! That kid is no ordinary person! Even Xiong Tieshan and Liu Qianji, working together, were defeated by him!"

"Dozens of people in the city witnessed it. He crippled Liu Qianji's snake hand with a single move, and Xiong Tieshan was blasted into the wall; he hasn't even gotten up yet!"

Kim Sung-yeol rattled off a long story, embellishing Chu Nan's performance in the foreign city.

Fearing his grandfather might not take it seriously, he added, "Grandpa, today is your 90th birthday. This brat knows perfectly well that all the experts in our Jin family are here, yet he still dares to come here alone. This is clearly a disgrace to the Jin family!"

"If we let him just walk away like that, how will our Jin family maintain its standing in the capital?"

The discussions at the birthday banquet grew even louder.

"The Bear and Snake Duo? They are renowned grandmasters and guest elders of the Jin family."

"Those two, working together, were defeated by a young man in his early twenties?"

"That can't be... Xiong Tieshan and Liu Qianji's names have been known in Dongcheng for over a decade."

"Just who is this kid? A Grandmaster? How old is he?!"

"Master, this man stole Young Master Cheng Lie's Crimson Blood Ginseng from the foreign market and severely injured the Bear and Snake Duo."

A tall, thin middle-aged man next to him bowed and explained the latest information he had received.

This man is Jin Zhong, the head steward of the Jin family. He has served Jin Jiucheng for over forty years and has been in charge of all the affairs of the mansion.

Jin Jiucheng's expression finally changed.

The Bear and Snake Duo weren't exactly top-tier experts, but when they joined forces, even a Grandmaster at the peak of cultivation would find it difficult to defeat them.

For a young man in his early twenties to achieve this level, he is at least at the peak of the Grandmaster level, and may even be a Great Grandmaster.

He put down his wine glass, his gaze sweeping over the guests, finally settling on a middle-aged man resting with his eyes closed to the right of the birthday table.

"Mr. Gu, what's your opinion?"

The middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes.

He wore a very simple gray-white long gown, his hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, his face was thin, his eyes were half-closed, and he had no imposing presence at all, just like an ordinary accountant.

But all the martial artists present subconsciously held their breath.

Because he is... Gu Changfeng.

The second-ranked guest of the Jin family, a true grandmaster!

"Let the young master go and rest first."

Gu Changfeng spoke slowly, his voice as calm as still water, "As for the guests outside, I'll go check on them."

Jin Jiucheng nodded.

The guests at the birthday banquet exchanged glances, and all of them saw the same expression on each other's faces.

The Jin family's Grandmaster is about to make his move!

……

Chu Nan entered the Jin residence as if it were his own backyard.

From the main gate to the main courtyard, one must pass through three ceremonial gates and two courtyards.

Chu Nan stepped onto the central avenue paved with bluestone. On both sides stood one after another the dragon-carved bronze pillars, each as thick as two people could hug.

He didn't walk fast, but with each step he took, golden true energy spread outwards like ripples.

Before the Jin family guards who tried to approach could even touch the hem of his clothes, they were blasted away by the shockwave and thrown into the flower beds and corridors on both sides.

Along the way, warriors from the Jin family kept stepping forward.

Chu Nan didn't even lift his eyelids, one hand behind his back, the other casually waving a few times.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Those people were sent flying almost simultaneously, losing their fighting ability; the whole process took no more than three seconds.

When Chu Nan reached the main gate, no one dared to stand in front of him.

Both sides were crowded with guests who had rushed over after hearing the news, and everyone looked at him as if he were a monster.

"stop!"

A loud voice boomed from the crowd.

A burly man in his fifties jumped out, dressed in a dark purple Tang suit, wearing cloth shoes with multiple layers of soles, and with a black jade token hanging from his waist.

He had a face as red as a jujube, extremely long arms, and thick calluses on the edges of his palms.

"It's Master Zhao Tieshan!"

Someone in the crowd recognized him.

The current leader of the Iron Palm Sect, a true grandmaster.

Zhao Tieshan had calculated everything very clearly.

If he could suppress the troublemakers in this situation, the Jin family would definitely remember him as a great person.

With this favor, Zhao Tieshan, and indeed the entire Iron Master Sect, can now establish a firm foothold in the northern part of Beijing.

"Where did this arrogant brat come from? Doesn't he know what day it is today! This is Old Master Jin's birthday banquet; how dare you cause such a ruckus!"

Zhao Tieshan took a step forward, his right palm like a knife, slashing straight at Chu Nan's face.

The palm strike whistled, accompanied by the crisp sound of metal cutting through the air.

He has been immersed in Iron Palm Kung Fu for over thirty years, and his palm strike can easily split stone tablets and shatter rocks.

Chu Nan didn't stop walking. Just as Zhao Tieshan's palm was about to strike his forehead, he casually raised his hand and deflected it.

Zhao Tieshan felt an immense force coming from the other man's arm; his iron palm felt like it had struck the engine of a speeding train.

He was thrown out of control, tumbled twice in the air, and crashed headfirst into a roadside flowerbed.

Chu Nan continued walking forward, his steps and even his breathing remained perfectly steady.

Zhao Tieshan struggled to get up from the flower bed, his face covered in dirt, his right arm hanging limply at his side, unable to be lifted.

The Iron Palm technique that he had practiced for over thirty years was easily brushed away by someone, like a leaf being brushed aside.

"Master Zhao couldn't even catch it with one palm strike?"

"Impossible! Zhao Tieshan is a grandmaster! His iron palms once took down eighteen martial arts schools in Hexi, and no one could withstand more than three blows from him!"

"Who exactly is this person? Could he be a Grandmaster?"

Zhao Tieshan's face turned from red to white, and then from white to green.

He had hoped to take this opportunity to make a name for himself in front of the Jin family, but instead of making a name for himself, he ended up getting himself into trouble.

The way the guests around him looked at him had changed from respect to pity and sympathy.

He gritted his teeth and slunk away into the crowd.

Chu Nan didn't look at him again, and stepped into the main courtyard...
