child is.The child knew Xiao Yu was a judge but didn't ask about the quality of his writing. Most children would likely ask Xiao Yu for feedback if they knew he was a judge, yet this boy didn't make a...Chapter 392: Reunion

Although he had heard Zhang Dahai talk about Xiao Yu's medical skills and needle techniques, he hadn't seen them with his own eyes.

"Old Fifteen, Old Fifteen... You're awake..." Seeing the elderly man lying on the bed regain consciousness, they stopped questioning Xiao Yu and all rushed to the side of the elder, calling out anxiously.

Li Suigun also put aside his thoughts and went to the elder's side, shouting towards him.

The Elder Wu had just woken up, still a bit disoriented. He looked around at the elderly people surrounding him, gradually regaining clarity after a while.

"Master... Master..." Bai Qiyue even knelt before him and cried out loudly.

Seeing Bai Qiyue's expression of relief, Elder Wu turned to look at the other elders around him. Struggling to sit up, he couldn't succeed as his body had yet to fully recover from its state of unconsciousness.

Bai Qiyue and Zhang Dahai hurried over to assist the elder in sitting up, helping him lean back onto a blanket next to the stove.

"Brother Li... Brother Zhang... Brother Tian... Brother Qian... I never thought I'd see you all again! I believed I would never have this chance!"

Lying half-reclined on the stove, the elder called out each of their names in turn, tears streaming down his aged, creased face.

"Indeed! Old Fifteen, we've been looking for you for sixty years and had no trace of you. We thought we'd never see you again. Yet heaven has a merciful eye; allowing us to reunite once more!"

Seeing the state of Elder Wu, Li Suigun and company were moved to tears as well. Sixty years! More than half a century, this reunion with brothers who had shared life and death together brought even these battle-hardened men to shed tears.

Watching all this, Xiao Yu quietly stood up and walked into the courtyard. Standing on the steps outside the house, he looked far into the distance at the expanse of white connecting earth and sky. Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yu felt his restless mood improve significantly.

Looking at these elders, Xiao Yu thought of his maternal grandfather. Back then, to make him study medicine, his grandfather had spared no effort, but due to the rebellious mentality he developed from a young age, he repeatedly let his grandfather down. Even on his deathbed, he left behind regrets.

Back when his grandfather believed that Xiao Yu was responsible for the extermination of the Xiao family, he felt conflicted and considered himself a sinner of the Xiao family. As such, in his heart, he had already erased him from the line of successors to the Xiao lineage; hence, he never mentioned reopening Wan Sheng Tang.

However, Wan Sheng Tang was a thorn in his side. Therefore, he hoped to cultivate Xiao Yu and have him inherit the medical skills of the Xiao family, reopen Wan Sheng Tang, and make it flourish again so that the legacy of the Xiao family would not be lost.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yu had always been rebellious from a young age. Even his grandfather couldn’t do anything about it until he passed away with regrets.

Only after Xiao Yu inherited Zhong Kui's legacy and embarked on a path of practicing medicine did he vow to his grandfather’s spirit that he would definitely reopen Wan Sheng Tang and make it rise again as the pinnacle in the medical community.

Moreover, there was always a question in Xiao Yu's heart. Since these elders were war comrades with his grandfather and each one of them was a highly accomplished martial artist, could his grandfather have been an ordinary person

If he wasn't an ordinary person, why did his grandfather pass away while all the other elders are still alive and healthy This question had puzzled Xiao Yu since he saw these elders.

For now, there was no way to find out. He would have to wait a few days and ask his mother what condition led to his grandfather’s demise.

"Xiao Yu, you must also have that tattoo!" Just as Xiao Yu was lost in thought, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

Hearing this voice, Xiao Yu's body trembled. Although he had been distracted by his thoughts, he hadn't noticed someone approach from behind him.

Xiao Yu turned around and saw Li Suijun standing behind him, gazing into the distance as if casually mentioning it to him.

“Oh, why does Elder Li say so” Xiao Yu looked back at Li Suijun. His state of mind returned to its calm demeanor as he stared towards the vast expanse of white sky and asked Li Suijun offhandedly.

"Hehe, I initially only had a guess, but after tasting the large pot dish you made and seeing your needlework skills, I became certain. This particular large pot dish was uniquely created by your grandfather during military campaigns, and among us brothers, only I managed to learn it from him; no one else could."

Li Suijun looked at Xiao Yu with a light smile as he said this.

After seeing Xiao Yu's needlework skills, Li Suijun had no more doubts about his identity. He couldn't believe that the unique large pot dish and the specific techniques were merely coincidental, especially given how precise the recipe was; even the slightest variation could make it toxic.

Xiao Yu’s large pot dish might differ slightly from Li's version, but considering it was a creation by his grandfather, minor adjustments over time were reasonable. Plus, apart from adding two auxiliary herbs, no other ingredients had changed.

Moreover, given Zhang Dahai's description of Xiao Yu's personality and temperament, the fact that he showed such magnanimity towards Bai Qijue, who ambushed him, hinted at something significant.

"Hehe, indeed! What difference does it make whether I have this legacy or not Currently, my sole goal is to fulfill my grandfather’s will and restore Xiao Family's Wan Sheng Hall to its former glory atop the medical world. Other considerations haven't entered my mind!"

After hearing Li Suijun's words, Xiao Yu gazed at the distant snowy mountains and said with a slight smile.

Hearing this, Li Suijun turned around to look intently at Xiao Yu, who was looking far into the distance. He understood what Xiao Yu meant in his last statement. After observing for a while and seeing that Xiao Yu remained indifferent, he nodded silently.

"I'll inform these old friends, but we won't disturb your life! Once you've fulfilled Second Brother's wish, you can rejoin the team!" Li Suijun said after some thought.

Since Xiao Yu was determined to fulfill his grandfather’s wishes, he wouldn’t stop him. Moreover, in times of peace, their missions had become minimal, and they merely existed as a deterrent force.

If not, why would Song Shanshan be engaged in business and Zhang Dahai diving into the deep sea Now, each successor was pursuing their own path, so it made sense for Xiao Yu to pursue his grandfather's legacy.

Xiao Yu didn't turn around but nodded, indicating his agreement with Li Suijun’s proposal.

Seeing this, Li Suijun knew that Xiao Yu had agreed. He then turned and went back inside. Xiao Yu showed no resistance towards these elders knowing the truth, as long as they were people who could be trusted with their lives, according to his grandfather's instructions, it didn't matter if they knew.

Moreover, this isn't about letting them know his identity as a Celestial Master. Even if it gets exposed later on, there won't be too many problems.

A short while later, Li Suijun and the elders came out of the house. Even Wu Lao, who was lying down, walked out with Zhang Dahai and Bai Qixue's support. Although Wu Lao had just recovered, his ailment wasn't an illness; it was merely a depletion of vitality that could be replenished. Therefore, these paths didn't pose any obstacles to him.

"You're truly the successor of my second elder brother" After coming out of the house, the elders looked at Xiao Yu standing in front and asked.

Although they wouldn’t doubt Li Suijun's judgment, let alone with Xiao Yu admitting it himself, they still found it hard to believe. Just as they had just found Elder Fifteen, that young doctor suddenly became a successor of the second elder brother, which made them feel like they were in a dream.

These years, their search for the second elder brother and Elder Fifteen had been relentless, but both seemed to have vanished. Despite all efforts, there was no news about them. However, now unexpectedly, the successor of the second elder brother and Elder Fifteen emerged.

Although they had thought that this young doctor might be related to the second elder brother when seeing his acupuncture technique, none of them imagined Xiao Yu could be the successor.

"Heh heh, if you believe it is so, then it is so. If not, then it isn't!" Xiao Yu chuckled and turned around to reply to the elder who had just asked him.

“Haha, good lad! You’re still as cheeky as ever! But that’s how it should be! No one will bully you!” Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, the elder didn’t get angry; instead, he laughed loudly and said. Then, glancing at the old man who had nearly choked on Xiao Yu's words and looked like a fierce Zhang Fei, he continued laughing.

Zhang Dahai also looked delightedly at Xiao Yu, thinking to himself that it was no wonder Third Brother's big pot dishes were so similar to his!

"Heh heh, well then, Xiao Yu being the successor of my second elder brother shouldn't be wrong!" Li Suijun chuckled and said to these elders.

"Xiao Yu, a few days later once Elder Fifteen and Brother Song have recovered, we plan on paying respects at my second elder brother's grave!" Li Suijun then solemnly told Xiao Yu.

When he was investigating Xiao Yu before, he learned from those street elders that his maternal grandfather had passed away. He also mentioned this to the elders when he first went into the house.

"Yes! We should pay respects at my second elder brother's grave! I never expected him to be the first one among us to pass on!" Upon hearing Li Suijun’s words, these elders all sighed deeply and spoke with a sense of loss. (To be continued...) moment before getting back into the car. They could clearly hear the conversation between them through their earpieces, so they were somewhat reassured.Moreover, hearing Tang Ran's words and seeing h...
