It's Too Late
"Around twenty?" Xuemin's brows furrowed tightly- so young and already so good at medicine … Could he be from some hidden family of miracle doctors?
Xuemin may have been promoted to a very high position, and he was renowned throughout the world for his acupuncture skills, but he knew very well that there were many people in the world who were very good at medicine, but didn't show their faces to the public.
He'd met one when he was younger … He'd learned acupuncture from him … He'd barely scratched the surface, but it was enough to make him famous throughout the world …
That was why Xuemin was surprised to hear that the person was around twenty, but he didn't doubt it. The master he'd met back then wasn't that old as well?
But Xuemin wasn't naive enough to think that the person he'd met back then would still be young after all these years … Plus, Liu Tianyi had said that the person was around twenty, but the person he'd met was at least thirty … Could it be that he'd practiced some sort of divine art that allowed him to live younger and younger? It didn't seem possible …
"Professor Guan, I've seen the young man after that, and I can confirm that he's no older than twenty. He had a mature aura about him, but judging from his face, he couldn't be too old!" Elder Liu, who'd been listening on the side, spoke up.
"If that's the case, then I really don't know who you're talking about. There are a few famous masseurs in Songshan, and even the youngest one is in his fifties …" Xuemin didn't finish his sentence, but no matter how bad one's eyes were, it was impossible to mistake an old man in his fifties for a twenty year old boy …
"I see …" Liu Tianyi was a little disappointed. "Then there's nothing I can do …"
"Didn't you guys leave his contact information that day?" Liu Tianyi didn't know what to do, but Xuemin was intrigued. How many people in the world could be an expert in Traditional Chinese massage with such miraculous effects? As a leading figure in the Traditional Chinese medical world, Xuemin really wanted to get to know this masseur. Perhaps if they could have a discussion, he'd be able to benefit a lot from acupuncture!
There were many similarities between massage and acupuncture. They were both treated through acupuncture points.
"Uh … We did give him a way to contact us …" Tianyi said, a little awkwardly- he didn't think too much about it at the time, but Xuemin's unusual expression made him realize just how powerful that person was. "My father told him to contact us when he's in Yanjing …"
Guan Xuemin smiled, but there was a hint of disdain and indifference in his smile. If an ordinary young doctor knew Old Man Liu's identity, he would probably think of ways to curry favor with him, right? However, to a person with superb medical skills who lived in seclusion, this was nothing!
If a twenty-year-old lad wanted fame, wealth, and status, he could make a name for himself just by relying on his superb massage skills! However, he had never heard of such a person. It was obvious that he didn't care about fame and fortune …
This was very rare for a twenty year old young man! Guan Xuemin thought back to when he was young. After receiving the guidance of that expert, he too wanted to make a name for himself. Guan Xuemin couldn't help but feel ashamed!
This was a real expert! It would be strange if such an expert would take the initiative to contact Old Man Liu.
Liu Tianyi didn't notice anything, but although Old Man Liu was old, he was very shrewd. He could read the hidden meaning in Guan Xuemin's faint smile … His heart couldn't help but skip a beat. He was afraid that he had missed a great opportunity to cure his disease!
Thinking back to Lin Yi's indifferent expression that day, it seemed like there was something he didn't say. Perhaps he really did have a way!
Thinking up to here, Old Man Liu felt a little regretful. It seemed like he wasn't enthusiastic enough. That day, it was obvious that Lin Yi had a grudge against his family because of Wang Xinyan. He saved him only because he didn't want his friend to be implicated …
"If he contacts you, please inform me, Mr. Liu. Thank you!" Guan Xuemin didn't have a choice. In the current situation, he could only hope that the expert would call the Liu's on a whim.
It was only then that Tianyi's heart skipped a beat! Guan Xuemin said "trouble" twice in a row! This kind of tone and tone was something that they had never heard before since they entered the room!
The Liu's were powerful, but Guan Xuemin didn't need anything from them. On the contrary, all the noble houses had things they needed from Guan Xuemin. The Liu's wouldn't put on airs in front of Guan Xuemin. This was also why he slapped his wife earlier! Was Guan Xuemin someone you could yell at? If word got out, the other noble houses would laugh their heads off. They'd say that the Liu's were idiots for offending a miracle doctor …
But Guan Xuemin had said "trouble" twice in a row for a mere doctor. No matter how stupid Liu Tianyi was, he knew how important that doctor was to Guan Xuemin … Back then, he … Sigh!
"Alright, of course, of course!" Liu Tianyi was a person of high status. Although he regretted it, he didn't show it on his face. He spoke politely to Guan Xuemin.
"Alright. You guys prepare a place to stay then. We'll start the acupuncture tomorrow." Guan Xuemin nodded and stood up, indicating that he was sending them off.
"Alright, Professor Guan. We'll be on our way then." Liu Tianyi said as he helped Elder Liu down the stairs with Wu Huiru, who was covering her face with her hands …
Guan Xuemin didn't send them off. He turned to Huaijun instead. "Yang, there's no rush, right?"
"No, Grandpa Guan, those people were … …" Huaijun hadn't seen this family before, and it seemed like they weren't locals. Especially since that Liu Tianyi mentioned something about Yanjing … …
"Oh, Yanjing's House Liu, a big house. The doctor's elder is Liu Zhenhu, he's eighty this year. He's in good health, but he's sick … …" Guan Xuemin and Huaijun started talking about the Liu's. The two were quite familiar with each other now.
"So it's Yanjing's House Liu … No wonder they could get the principal to prepare a house with just a phone call … …" Huaijun smiled.
"Let's stick to the old routine … Acupuncture won't have much effect on you anymore, but it's better than nothing. Hang in there, I'll go to Yanjing next week for an Eastern medicine symposium. I'll use your condition as a case study and discuss it with others, see if there's anything we can do … …" Guan Xuemin said.
