The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 23
The scream of pain had been heartwrenching. Knowing what a powerful martial artist Xena was, it was easy to imagine how much pain she was in.When Felix darted over to her, she'd already passed out from the pain. He checked her pulse, and his gaze changed. Her heart had almost stopped beating. Was it because of that move the Menacing Four had pulled?Whatever it was, his priority was to save her. Felix didn't want to be a doctor who could save the world, but now that this had happened before his very eyes, he couldn't allow Xena to die just like that.After over ten minutes, he exhaled deeply. "You're lucky you met me!"The move the Menacing Four had pulled was indescribably evil—the blood they'd spurted out had somehow enveloped Xena's heart. She would've been doomed if Felix had been just a minute later. In hindsight, how could they possibly have used their lives to pull such a dumb move?Felix had already laid Xena down on the couch. As he looked at her, he couldn't help feelin

"Don't worry. I'm here." Jordan couldn't tell what was wrong with Xena, but he could make her heartbeat return to normal. With his skills, it was a small matter.About half an hour later, Xena woke up. "I…"She was surprised when she saw Belle and Jordan. "Joe? What are you doing in my house?"Belle hurriedly explained, "I can't imagine what would've happened to you if not for Jordan being here, milady. Who knows what would've happened if we hadn't saved you in time?"Xena's expression turned ugly at Belle's words. She suddenly recalled what had happened—the Menacing Four's last move had been powerful enough to harm her. If she had to describe how she'd felt, she would say the pain was literally heart-wrenching.Damn that Felix! Xena silently cursed him, her hatred for him surging. He might not have been able to help with his meager medical skills, but couldn't he have called an ambulance? She couldn't believe he'd left as if nothing was wrong with her. He'd left her to die!"T

Wendy's expression became odd on the other end of the line. This was her first time being asked to do something like this. "How would you guys like me to prove myself?"She didn't know what else to say. In fact, she found the whole thing outrageous. How was she going to prove she was herself?In the next second, Sasha burst into laughter. "You really are the most shameless person I've ever met, Felix! You were worried we would ask you about this as soon as you got back, so you found an actress to put this show on with you, didn't you?"Nattie's expression became uglier. "You've really bought yourself a one-way ticket to hell now. I have to kick you out today!"Just then, Warren appeared. Felix immediately hung up because he knew he could finally go to sleep. There was no need to continue arguing with Nattie and Sasha. Even though he'd already decided not to expose anything before Sasha, sometimes, he just had no choice but to do so."Why are you guys just standing there?" Warren

Seeing that Ivan was about to leave, Sasha hurriedly clung to his arm and cried, "Do you suddenly hate me so?"Her high-pitched voice drew the attention of the people around them. Ivan decided to just go along with her one last time. He'd yet to get a taste of her, but with Felix around now, none of that mattered anymore.He said, "No, of course not. I've just been busy because of my mother. Don't be mad, okay?"Sasha knew about Cheryl's condition and immediately settled down at Ivan's words. "When are you going to introduce me to your mother?""Let's see how things go. Do you want to stroll around the antiques market?"Sasha nodded, her good mood restored. "It's my dad's birthday today. He likes antiques, so I decided to try my luck. It's fine if I can't find anything, though. I've already asked someone to prepare something else for me."Felix stopped before a stall in the antiques market and appraised the things strewn across the stall. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say the

Sasha sneered. "Yes, I do! Get lost if you know what's good for you. I'm telling you now that Ivan is here, too. Once he comes back from the restroom and sees you here, I guarantee you'll be dead meat."Felix didn't want to waste time arguing with Sasha. However, it had been a while since he'd arrived at the antiques market, and the porcelain teapot was the only item that had caught his eye. Secondly, since Sasha had mentioned Ivan, it meant it wouldn't be long until she was out of his hair.So, he told Mike, "10,100 dollars."Sasha burst into laughter at that. "Get the hell out of here if you can't afford to buy anything. Stop acting like you're some big shot!"Mike felt resigned. After some thought, he said, "Kiddo, you can't scare your competitors off with that sort of counteroffer. You need to offer an amount that shows you're serious about it."He actually wanted to tell Felix off for only increasing the price by a hundred dollars. What if Sasha did the same? He would earn a

Meanwhile, Sasha ran after Ivan as quickly as she could, finally managing to stop him in the parking lot. "What did you mean by that, Ivan? Why were you so polite to Felix?"Ivan looked at her, his face devoid of emotion. "It's none of your fucking business!"Sasha's jaw dropped. Ivan had always been gentle and tender to her. How dare he speak to her like that! "You have to give me an explanation for this!"Before today, Ivan would've just slapped Sasha and left. Who did she think she was, acting so obnoxiously before him? But now that he knew about the relationship between Felix and Warren… Sasha was annoying, but if he really were to do anything to her, would Felix come after him?Left with no choice, he said, "Felix is trained in martial arts and is good in a fight. I've lost the nerve to pick on him now. Are you happy with that?"He got into his car and left, seeing that Sasha was no longer stopping him. After a while, Sasha returned to her senses, and her expression becam

It was noon. Xena and Jordan were having lunch in a private room at one of Avesburgh's restaurants."I'm sorry, Xena. My mentor is focusing on researching new medical techniques, and it's been years since he's treated anyone. If not for that, I would've asked him to check on your grandfather," Jordan said.Xena nodded. "I appreciate the sentiment. Dr. Fielding has already verified that Grandpa's been poisoned with the Phantom Poison. I don't mean anything else by inviting you for lunch. Anyway, I doubt your mentor would be able to do anything even if he were around."Phantom Poison? As one of the best traditional medicine practitioners of the younger generation, Jordan had definitely heard of it before."Phantom Poison? Xena, you might have to prepare yourself. Only the miracle doctor has ever managed to cure it, and that was for someone who'd been poisoned for a few days. Mr. Summers Senior has already been suffering from it for a whole year."He couldn't bring himself to say any

Felix was sure the energy in the teapot wouldn't lead him astray. If that were the case, perhaps the porcelain teapot had a hidden side.A middle-aged man in a suit approached. He looked spirited. "I'm honored and pleasantly surprised by your presence, Ms. Kinsley."Wendy said helplessly, "Oh, don't tease me, Mr. Camden. We're short on time, so we'll get straight to the point."Felix pulled out the porcelain teapot and said, "I don't think this porcelain teapot is as it seems. I'd like to ask you to take a look at it and see whether you can restore it, Mr. Camden."Thomas took the porcelain teapot and started appraising it. Over ten minutes later, his eyes lit up. "You've got a good eye, young man. You've got a treasure here! "There's a layer of special material enveloping the teapot—only the teapot makers of the era knew how to create this. Ordinary people have no idea this even exists. Even I only learned about it after a recent gathering with a few old friends. "Once this la
