Liao Ping seemed unafraid of the middle-aged man's threats and stood up to confront him. Liao Ping was two heads shorter than the middle-aged man, but he still looked up and met his eyes, showing he wasn't scared at all.
The middle-aged man snorted and said, "Mr. Yun has helped my Du Family before, so I won't lay a hand on you in the Yun Family. But don't get cocky. Just because your ancestors were Imperial Physicians, don't assume that gives you any grand status. What kind of society do you think we live in today, some feudal era?"
"If you've got the guts, don't rely on your ancestors' glow. Use your own skills to sit in the left seat. But I don't see you having that ability, just stuck at second place, really dumb, you know!" the middle-aged man said loudly.
Lin Tian finally understood; Liao Ping's ancestors were Imperial Physicians, hence he held himself in high regard, while the middle-aged man's family had been growing herbs for generations, making him a common physician.
