Chapter 335 Paying a Visit

Ghost float out from under the Umbrella of Gathering Yin and felt shocked by the substantial source energy he was radiating. He hurriedly took a few steps back, standing at the mouth of the large cav...Chapter 335: Visit

Song Hushan saw that Xiao Yu was really not agreeing, and did not insist too much. He knew that even if something happened to Xiao Yu in Jingdu City, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage, so there wasn't much difference whether or not he arranged things.

After arranging everything for Xiao Yu, Song Hushan and Zhou Ruoying left as well because the grandpa's hundredth birthday was a major event. Therefore, several days ago their family had already started preparing; as the legitimate grandson, Song Hushan should go to help out.

After washing up in the villa, Xiao Yu rested for a while and then took two porcelain jars out of the villa.

Xiao Yu drove towards the center of Jingdu City. Today he was going to visit Old Yue, who lived in the courtyard behind Yuedi Clinic.

Yue Family's Yuedi Clinic wasn't far from the imperial city. The location of Yuedi Clinic used to be their old house. Because Old Yue’s father had good medical skills, the family was doing well back then, so Old Yue’s father bought a quadrangle courtyard for the Yue family.

But later on, the property was nationalized. Later when there was a policy change, the Yue Family got it back. Their clinic is located in this quadrangle courtyard.

Since the quadrangle courtyard faces a street, Yuedi Clinic’s storefront is on the street; all the houses facing the street have been converted into clinics, while the rear part of the courtyard serves as living space for the Yue family.

The two sons of Old Yue are already married and have children. Therefore, he bought them houses so they could move out. Only Old Yue himself, his wife, and their two grandsons live here.

Old Yue's eldest grandson is called Yue Tianlin who is 20 years old this year and studying at Jingdu University in traditional Chinese medicine, while the younger grandson is Xiao Tiansheng who is 18 years old.

Xiao Yu had been told by Old Yue and Xiao Hongyang about the address of the Yue Family. Although he had never come here before, with a navigation system in his car, it wasn't difficult for him to find this place.

When Xiao Yu arrived at Yuedi Clinic by car, it was already past 5 PM in winter Jingdu City, where day turns to night around five o'clock.

When Xiao Yu arrived at Yuedi Clinic, a middle-aged man and several young people were locking up the door of Yuedi Clinic.

Afetr parking his car by the entrance of Yuedi Clinic, with two porcelain jars in hand, Xiao Yu got out of the car.

"Sorry, sir! Please come back tomorrow. We've already closed up for the day!" Just as Xiao Yu got off the car, a young man who was about to close the door turned around and said to him.

The medical hall of the Yue family still follows the old rule: it closes down when it gets dark unless there's an emergency case that needs immediate attention. Especially with someone living in the back courtyard, they adhere strictly to this rule. This tradition has been upheld since the day Yue Lao's father opened the clinic half a century ago.

"Haha, I'm not here for treatment; I'm actually looking for someone. I need to see Yue Zhongji," Xiao Yu chuckled and said upon hearing what the attendant had told him.

"Young man, do you have something important to discuss with my father" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, the middle-aged man who was about to close the door approached Xiao Yu and asked.

Xiao Yu looked at this middle-aged man. He appeared to be around forty-six or forty-seven years old, fair-skinned, well-groomed, with a resemblance between his brows that reminded him of Yue Lao and Xie Hongyang.

"You must be Yue Hongbin! I'm Xiao Yu, here to visit my senior brother Yue," Xiao Yu said after recognizing the person when he saw him and heard what he had just stated.

"Oh... You're... you're Senior Uncle Xiao" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Yue Hongbin looked at the young man in front of him with a surprised expression.

Yue Hongbin never expected Xiao Yu to visit; hence, he was quite shocked upon hearing his name. He knew about Xiao Yu and also that his second brother had become Xiao Yu’s disciple.

"Senior Uncle Xiao, please come in quickly! My father is at the back courtyard," Yue Hongbin said after coming to his senses.

Xue Hongbin was quite surprised by Xiao Yu's sudden visit as he hadn't been notified beforehand. Also, Xiao Yu’s youth astonished him; although he knew that Xiao Yu was young, seeing Xiao Yu in person made him realize just how youthful Xiao Yu truly was.

Now twenty-four years old, Xiao Yu was only four years older than Yue Hongbin's son. This is why Yue Hongbin found it so astonishing since even though his son was studying medicine at a university in Jingde City, the curriculum mainly comprised Western Medicine, with Chinese medicine mostly taught at home.

Even under such circumstances, Yue Tianlin wouldn't have finished his apprenticeship until he reached thirty years old. In contrast, Xiao Yu, being only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, had already become a capable practitioner and even taken on his equally skilled younger brother as his disciple. This filled Yue Hongbin with admiration and amazement.

Xiao Yu followed Yue Hongbin around a small street and entered an alley where four-sided courtyard houses lined both sides. The main gate of Yue Lao's courtyard was located here.

At this time, the main gate of Professor Yue's residence was not closed but left wide open.

"Uncle Master, please!" When they reached the courtyard entrance, Yue Hongbin gestured them forward and walked into the quadrangle first.

"Father, Father, look who’s here" As soon as he entered the yard, Yue Hongbin called out to someone inside.

"Who is it You’re such a grown-up yet still shouting like a child!" Immediately after Yue Hongbin's voice faded away, an old and powerful voice responded from within the house.

Soon enough, Professor Yue emerged from his room. When he saw Xiao Yu, he was clearly taken aback for a moment before breaking into a smile and said, "Junior Brother, you’ve arrived. I thought you wouldn’t be here until tomorrow"

"Senior Brother!" Xiao Yu respectfully bowed to Professor Yue as he slightly bent his waist.

"Good, come in quickly!" Professor Yue pulled the curtain of the main room aside and invited Xiao Yu inside.

When Xiao Yu was going to Jingde City, Xiao Hongyang had already informed his father. After Xiao Yu left today, Xiao Hongyang immediately called Professor Yue, but since it was afternoon when he made the call, Professor Yue wasn't at home. So he assumed that even if Xiao Yu were coming over, it would be either tomorrow or the day after. Therefore, he didn’t inform anyone else.

"Old woman, come quickly! See who’s here!" After following Professor Yue into the house, he called out to someone in another room.

"Who is it You old man, talking about your son just now and now you’re calling out yourself" As soon as Professor Yue finished speaking, an elderly woman's voice came from inside the room.

Shortly after, a lady of around sixty or seventy walked out. Upon seeing Xiao Yu standing in the middle of the room whom she didn’t recognize, her face showed a hint of confusion and she looked at Professor Yue for explanation.

"Ha ha, old woman, let me introduce you! This is Brother-in-law Xiao from the Xiao family, also the Master of Luo Yang!" Seeing his wife waiting for an introduction, Professor Yue chuckled and pointed to Xiao Yu.

"Junior Brother, this is my wife, Zhang Guicui."

Xiao Yu looked at Professor Yue's spouse. She had snow-white hair meticulously styled, giving off a sense of cleanliness and tidiness, as well as good health. Her complexion was rosy and her appearance was benevolent.

"Hello, sister-in-law! I am Xiao Yu, paying my respects!" Upon hearing Professor Ye's introduction, Xiao Yu quickly bowed to Professor Ye’s spouse and said respectfully.

"Brother, hurry up, get up. Why are you bringing gifts It’s like coming home, no need for any gifts," the old lady helped Xiao Yu up and seeing that he was carrying two porcelain jars, she couldn’t help but scold him.

“Haha, sister-in-law, it’s not something valuable. I heard from Hongyang that my senior brother also enjoys alcohol, so I brought over two jars of wine!” Upon hearing the old lady's words, Xiao Yu chuckled and replied.

"Brother, you are too polite! In the future, don’t bring any gifts again, or else I won't let you enter the house. Old man, quickly make brother sit down!" Zhang Cuicui looked at Xiao Yu with simulated anger.

“Haha, right, right, Brother, quickly take a seat!” Professor Ye burst into laughter after hearing his spouse’s words and said to Xiao Yu, then turning towards her: "Old woman, go tell Little Zhang to make more dishes for us, I want to have a good drink with brother!"

"Alright, I’ll go check in the kitchen. You all sit down first, Brother quickly take your seat," Zhang Cuicui said to Xiao Yu and others before leaving the room towards the kitchen.

“Hongbin, call your wife and your second brother's wife as well as Tianlin and Tiangpeng, tell them to come back for dinner,” After making Xiao Yu and others sit down, Professor Ye casually instructed Ye Hongbin beside him.

"Yes, father!" Ye Hongbin answered and went into the room to make a phone call.

After finishing his call, Ye Hongbin walked out of the inner room and said to Professor Ye: "Father, I have informed them. They will be here soon." He then sat down too.

The three people sat on chairs in the living room, chatting incessantly at times even debating with each other. As all three were traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, their conversation naturally revolved around this topic.

Each of them talked about difficult cases they had encountered and discussed treatment methods and views. They were very immersed in their discussion. Zhang Cuicui came in twice but seeing that the three of them didn’t even notice her as they were engrossed in their self-discussion, she couldn't help but shake her head.

She was worried that Professor Ye's father and son would neglect Xiao Yu, so she came to check on him, only to find that Xiao Yu too was equally absorbed in the discussion of traditional Chinese medicine, even disregarding meals.

Zhang Cuicui thought as she watched Xiao Yu discussing intensely with Professor Ye and Ye Hongbin: indeed, without this kind of dedication and willingness to forego sleep for work, how could Xiao Yu have such medical skills

They didn’t know how long they had been talking until voices were heard from the courtyard, which prompted them to stop their discussion. displeasure."Scrawny punk, how's the decision coming along Are you moving or not"These individuals walked straight to a place in the house and sat down. One of them, seemingly the leader, took out a...
