Although Chu Feng agreed to join Dragon Soaring, it was just as Chu Feng said.
Chu Feng only joined, but no one ca looking for him. It was as if Zhuang Xinyan had completely forgotten that Chu Feng was the vice president.
Ti passed day by day, and before long it was Thursday.
Just as Chu Feng was thinking about the charity gala on Friday, the telephone rang.
Seeing the call, Chu Feng picked up and said, "Brother He, do you need for sothing?"
He Zhen said, "Little Friend Chu, an old buddy of mine has co by. He brought two bottles of fine wine. If you’re free this afternoon, why don’t you join us two old n for a couple of drinks?"
Chu Feng said, "I’d be delighted, I’ll go buy a couple of dishes later."
He Zhen said, "No need. I’ve asked your Sister-in-Law to stir-fry a few dishes at ho."
Chu Feng chuckled, "Then today I can only bring a mouth with ."
He Zhen said, "Just bring your mouth along today, that’s all."
After a pause, He Zhen spoke in a lower voice, "When you co over, besides bringing a mouth, help give my old friend a good lesson. This old man has been competing with for a lifeti, and you don’t need to show him any respect after you get here."
Chu Feng heard He Zhen’s words and felt sowhat amused and exasperated, "Brother, do you think I could really bring myself to lay hands on an elder?"
He Zhen said, "You misunderstand, I’m not asking you to hit him. He’s a doctor who’s spent his life believing his dical Skills are unmatched. He treated for a long ti with no effect. But you healed with just one treatnt. After you arrive, undercut him on dical Skills."
After hearing all this, Chu Feng was even more speechless. It’s true what they say, the older so people get, the younger they behave.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Feng bought two chilled waterlons at the school and carried them to He Zhen’s ho.
Chu Feng arrived at He Zhen’s house, and He Zhen personally ca out to welco him.
"Little brother, rember what I told you? I’ve been telling him that your dical Skills are ten tis better than his," He Zhen whispered to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng replied with an awkward expression, "I’ll do my best."
Once Chu Feng and He Zhen entered the room, they saw an elderly man with a full head of silver hair but looking very spirited sitting in the living room.
From the old man’s posture, one could tell that he also ca from a military background.
"Old Man, my lifesaver has arrived. Take a good look," He Zhen yelled at the elderly man in the living room.
"Junior Chu Feng pays respect to the elder!" Chu Feng knew that reputable traditional physicians put a strong emphasis on the inheritance of skills over ti and also held Etiquette in high regard. Of course, all these were things Zhang Shisan had taught Chu Feng.
Seeing Chu Feng address him with ancient formalities, the old man’s eyes brightened, "Young man, I hear from Old Man He that you were the one who cured his ailnt?"
Chu Feng inwardly sighed but nevertheless replied, "Yes. I’ve learned a bit of dical Skills from my Master."
The old man frowned upon hearing Chu Feng’s words and said, "Curing Old Man He’s condition isn’t as simple as having learned ’a bit’ of dical Skills. Although young people should be modest, they shouldn’t be insincere."
Chu Feng quickly responded, "You’re absolutely right, elder. I’ll take the lesson to heart."
"Look here, Old Man, Little Friend Chu’s dical Skills are much more advanced than yours. Don’t always act so preachy. With Little Friend Chu’s skills, he would be more than qualified to be your teacher," He Zhen said, as Chu Feng seed at a disadvantage.
The old man replied, "dical prowess is not sothing you can just talk about. It needs to be proven by comparison. Just have the thing you promised ready."
Hearing the old man’s words, Chu Feng was sowhat confused.
Elder He saw Chu Feng looking at him and explained, "This Old Man didn’t trust your dical skill, so I accepted the challenge on your behalf to compete with him. Brother, I’ve put all my bets on you. If you lose, it will be a huge loss for ."
Chu Feng didn’t expect that Elder He had accepted a challenge on his behalf and was quite bemused.
Still, he said, "I’ll try my best."
"All right, I’ll pose the question, and you answer. I only have one question, and if you answer it correctly, I’ll admit my loss," the elder stated after Elder He finished explaining things to Chu Feng.
"Please ask your question, Senior," Chu Feng said respectfully.
"What is the most basic and fundantal aspect of traditional Chinese dicine?"
Such a question, if asked to any practitioner of Chinese dicine, would certainly garner answers like inspection, listening and slling, interrogation, palpation—the basic theories of Chinese dicine.
However, what Zhang Shisan taught Chu Feng was different.
Chu Feng pondered for a mont and said, "The foundation of Chinese dicine is Yin Yang. Whether it is the human body or all things in Heaven and Earth, it all boils down to Yin Yang. Illness in humans is, in fact, just a disharmony between Yin and Yang. As long as one can correctly ascertain whether the disease stems from an imbalance of Yin or Yang, one can prescribe the right redy..."
Chu Feng spoke eloquently, and the elder’s eyes sparkled as he listened.
After Chu Feng finished, the elder excitedly grabbed Chu Feng’s hand and asked, "Young man, who is your master? Where is he now?"
Chu Feng looked at the excited elder and replied, "I’m sorry, but without my master’s permission, I can’t casually disclose his na."
The elder asked, "Young man, is your master’s surna Zhang?"
Chu Feng, hearing the elder’s words, also asked, "Senior, how do you know?"
The elder hastily said, "Don’t call Senior anymore. My surna is Gu, and my given na is just Zhong. You can either call by my na, or you can call Senior Brother, that’s fine too."
"Senior Brother?" Chu Feng was initially taken aback but then suddenly seed to realize sothing and asked, "Senior Brother, are you the Senior Brother Gu that Master ntioned?"
Gu Zhong, upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, showed an excited look on his face and said, "Yes. I am the unworthy disciple of our master."
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng quickly perford a polite salute and said, "Disciple Chu Feng pays his respects to Senior Brother."
Watching from the side, Elder He was sowhat confused and asked, "Old Man, what’s going on? How did you beco Senior Brother to Little Friend Chu?"
Gu Zhong, with a gratified expression, explained, "I should have known that in this world, aside from Master’s dical skill that could cure you, who else could?"
The more Gu Zhong said, the more confused Elder He beca.
Chu Feng said, "Brother He, let explain. Master has told so things about Senior Brother Gu."
Imdiately, Chu Feng shared what he knew about Gu Zhong with Brother He.
After Chu Feng finished, Gu Zhong was moved to tears and said, "I never expected Master to still rember his unfilial disciple."
Chu Feng said, "Senior Brother Gu, Master said he has never blad you. He didn’t want you to leave back then because he was worried you didn’t know martial arts and might get hurt. Later, when Master heard of your deeds, he was very proud. Master always said, among all his disciples before , only Senior Brother Gu truly deserves to be called Master’s first disciple."
Hearing Chu Feng’s words, Gu Zhong was stirred and asked, "Did Master really say that?"
Chu Feng nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Brother."
"So where is Master now?"
However, just as Chu Feng was about to answer, his phone started to ring insistently.
