Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Huo Wen’an and Xu Xingguang exchanged a glance, realizing that the Ying Family has a strict division of labor within.

They are like ants, each born with their own roles, diligently performing their duties in their respective positions.

”By the way,” the housekeeper remembered something and said, ”To motivate everyone, we hold a Medicine King Contest every ten years, which all doctors in the global Chinese medicine community can register for. However, very few manage to reach the finals and enter the Ying Family to compete.”

”Those who stand out in the Medicine King Contest can enter the Medicine King Tower to learn,” the housekeeper said, looking up at the Medicine King Tower above, his eyes showing even deeper reverence.

”All those who return from studying at the Medicine King Tower are top-notch physicians of the age.” At this point, the housekeeper suddenly turned to Xu Xingguang and said, ”The outside world has also sent many outstanding young people to compete, but as far as I know, over the years, only one person has successfully entered the Medicine King Tower. That person now works at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall in Xia Country. I wonder if Master Medicine Farmer Star recognizes him?”

Xu Xingguang raised an eyebrow slightly, ”Who is it?”

”Ying Ziyao.”

Xu Xingguang did not recognize him, but Huo Wen’an said, ”I know him.” He leaned down to speak to Xu Xingguang, ”Ying Ziyao is Doctor Ying at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall in Cangshan Town. He even pursued your mother back in the day, remember?”

Xu Xingguang didn’t remember Ying Ziyao but did recall a Doctor Ying in town who had pursued her mother.

According to Huo Wen’an, after Doctor Ying learned that her mother and Xu Zeqing had not divorced, he suffered an emotional blow and moved out of Cangshan Town to work at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall.

”It seems that this Doctor Ying is quite impressive.”

The housekeeper also said, ”He is indeed impressive, but that child is originally from the Ying Family. However, his parents were expelled from Chuancheng for violating family rules. Yet, the child was fortunate to meet a skilled mentor while wandering outside, who taught him everything he knew.”

After hearing this, Xu Xingguang curiously asked, ”I wonder who this Doctor Ying’s master is? Hearing the housekeeper speak like this, I’m also interested in meeting his great master. When I have time, I will visit the elder.”

”I don’t know his name,” said the housekeeper. ”I just heard that it’s an old man living in some town.”

Xu Xingguang, Ye Mingluo, and Huo Wen’an all blurted out instinctively, ”Cangshan Town?”

The housekeeper’s eyes lit up, ”That’s right, Cangshan Town!”

The housekeeper had rarely left Chuancheng and wasn’t familiar with Yujiang City, let alone the small place called Cangshan Town. When he saw that Captain Huo and the others knew of Cangshan Town, he asked, ”Captain Huo, Master Medicine Farmer Star, do you all know Cangshan Town?”

The three exchanged glances, their eyes filled with contemplation.

Cangshan Town.

Cangshan Town.

Why does everyone have a connection to Cangshan Town?

Xu Xingguang’s grandfather, Ye Mingluo’s grandfather, and the Doctor Ying who now works at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall all have close ties to Cangshan Town.

How could a small town attract so many prominent figures?

Cangshan Town can’t possibly be a hidden treasure land that specifically attracts medical elites, could it?

”Coincidentally, we all lived in Cangshan Town for a period of time.”

”Quite the coincidence,” said the housekeeper, asking them, ”Since you’ve been to Cangshan Town, do you know an elderly man named ’Old Man Mo’?” Without waiting for their response, the housekeeper added, ”I remember that Ying Ziyao’s master seems to have the surname Mo.”

Old Man Mo!

Huo Wen’an and Ye Mingluo stared at Xu Xingguang in astonishment.

Xu Xingguang’s mother is surnamed Mo, so her grandfather should also be surnamed Mo.

In that case, could Ying Ziyao’s master possibly be Xu Xingguang’s grandfather?

Ying Ziyao had shown various affections towards Mo Yinshu back then, seemingly deeply attached to her. Could he have already known Aunt Mo?

Xu Xingguang also followed the same line of thought as Huo Wen’an.

If that were true, then her grandfather’s identity would indeed be suspicious.

The group, each engrossed in their own thoughts, followed the housekeeper to the foot of an ancient city mountain, arriving in front of a quaint but historic house. Festive red lanterns hung above, and traces of firecracker remnants were at the entrance.

The housekeeper stopped and told them, ”We’ve arrived. Captain Huo, Master Medicine Farmer Star, Doctor Ye, and other esteemed guests, I’ve brought you as far as I can.”

”I’ll come to pick you up after the birthday banquet is over. I’ll be waiting for everyone at this tea house,” pointing to the elegantly decorated tea house behind, the housekeeper quietly left.
