Chapter 637: Encirclement and Interception
Lin Tian ignored those few people, and as for the reporters, they didn’t pay attention to them either. The stars of today are all on the stage.
Feeling their lack of presence, those people dejectedly jumped down from their chairs. They just felt something was missing in their hearts, very uncomfortable.
The scene afterward became much more harmonious. Reporters asked questions, and Lin Tian answered. Except for Spiritual Qi, he talked about everything he knew openly.
What Lin Tian spoke about was originally profound, but after simplifying it, even those without a foundation in ancient medicine could understand.
The reporters felt it was fine, but Zhao Qingtang listened head itching and even became absorbed, not reacting when other reporters asked her questions.
In the end, even Sun Chuanrong couldn’t help it. He personally came out to ask a few questions but still felt unsatisfied.
The whole press conference didn’t end until twelve noon from eight-thirty in the morning. Those who came to disrupt the event had long left, while the reporters left full of content to write about.
...
"Cases of recovery from vegetative states also involve luck. Lin Tian frankly admitted that such cases were just fortunate..."
"Those who slander ancient medicine as fraudulent are frogs at the bottom of the well, ignorant bumpkins..."
"Lin Tian’s level of ancient medicine is like a bottomless pit, capable of curing various difficult diseases..."
By evening, all the news webpages and news on Xunxin were about today’s press conference. Writers universally portrayed the relationship between Lin Tian and ancient medicine positively.
Everything was positive energy; everything indicated how powerful ancient medicine truly is.
The ancient medicine currently available is merely the tip of the iceberg. A culture that has been brewing for thousands of years couldn’t possibly be shallow.
Those who say ancient medicine is ineffective just don’t understand it themselves.
No doubt, Lin Tian’s fame soared again, receiving a round of applause once more.
There were few voices of doubt, as any negative comments were immediately drowned out by Lin Tian’s fans. Or rather, they were fans of ancient medicine.
As Lin Tian’s fame grew in recent days, Zhao Xuefeng’s title of ’Number One in Ancient Medicine’ almost shifted to him. Some even said that Zhao Xuefeng was no longer qualified to be Lin Tian’s teacher.
In response, Lin Tian specifically opened a Xunxin to clarify this matter.
"Teacher Zhao Xuefeng will always be my teacher. Besides medical skills, he taught me medical ethics, experience, and methods of handling certain conditions. I don’t want to hear anyone speak ill of him. He’s devoted half his life to ancient medicine and is a true hero. No one has the right to critique him. If you internet trolls want to attack, come at me!"
Alongside this statement was a photo of himself and Zhao Xuefeng.
Just this one Xunxin post garnered over twenty million likes overnight, and Lin Tian’s personal Xunxin accumulated over twenty million fans, with numbers still climbing—refreshing the page every second would show hundreds more.
With the rise in fame, there were also some bothersome issues.
It’s unclear whether someone deliberately leaked his address or if netizens found it out.
One morning as he was leaving for school, Lin Tian found a swarm of people at the entrance of his residential complex.
Some held support banners, some carried notebooks asking for Lin Tian’s autograph, while many patients came for treatment.
"Lin Tian! Come over and sign for me!"
"Lin Tian! I love you!"
Faced with such a scene again, Lin Tian was almost scared enough to run back inside, but it was definitely too late to run at that moment. Who knows if those crazy fans would rush in, and with so many people, something unwanted might happen.
So, he could only brace himself, smile, and wave at everyone.
The charm of a celebrity is huge. With just a wave of his hand, countless girls screamed.
Just covering the short distance of a few dozen meters took Lin Tian half an hour. The fans outside weren’t the most terrifying; what was worse were those who later joined out of curiosity, who also wanted signatures upon seeing Lin Tian, which was quite a headache.
After saying quite a few words and shaking off those fans, Lin Tian put on a human skin mask, regaining his freedom.
He planned to go to the street dance studio, where Liou Qingcheng and Zhou Mi were practicing a new dance, wanting him to get familiar with it.
On the way to the dance studio in the art building, Lin Tian heard deafening music. It was so loud he could even feel the floor trembling beneath his feet.
It was a rock song sung by the female star Jiang Pan Die.
This girl’s vocal range is extremely wide; her high notes are penetrating, and coupled with the song’s fast tempo, it makes the listener’s heart race.
This type of song, played at such a loud volume, fits the dynamic and powerful nature of street dance perfectly. Just hearing such frantic and exciting music makes one want to shout along. Upon seeing the cool and smooth movements of street dance, the body would probably start moving along as well.
Lin Tian entered the dance studio, where more than a dozen people were practicing dance, intently focused, though their moves seemed a bit uncoordinated.
Until the music ended, Zhou Mi and others stopped, with some unfamiliar faces dancing alongside them, all unknown to Lin Tian.
"Everyone take a break." Zhou Mi told the other members, wiped the sweat off her neck and collarbone with a towel, checked her watch, and mumbled to herself, "Why isn’t Lin Tian here yet? He’s over half an hour late."
Though she spoke quietly, Lin Tian could hear her clearly, and he waved and shouted to Zhou Mi, "I’m here, I’m over here."
Zhou Mi looked up but only saw a middle-aged man with a face full of wrinkles, looking weathered. She immediately frowned, clearly hearing Lin Tian’s voice, but the person was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing the middle-aged man waving at her, Zhou Mi asked in confusion, "Uncle, who are you looking for?"
"Uncle?" Lin Tian was taken aback, then remembered he was wearing a human skin mask on his face, no wonder Zhou Mi didn’t recognize him.
He tore off the mask and said, "It’s me."
"Lin Tian?" Zhou Mi was momentarily stunned upon seeing Lin Tian, then burst into laughter.
"Do celebrities have it this tough now? They have to wear such realistic masks. Honestly, I couldn’t recognize you at all just now."
Mentioning this made Lin Tian feel extremely weary. He waved his hand, "It’s a long story, let’s not talk about it now."
At this time, the other members also noticed Lin Tian. This big name who had been buzzing online these past few days immediately drew everyone’s attention.
