Medical Sage

”Uncle Huang, long time no see. How have you been?”

Hearing that familiar greeting, Huang Tao couldn’t help but shiver slightly. He turned and looked at Chen Fei’s face, which he hadn’t seen for a long time, and was somewhat moved with excitement. He said, ”Mr. Chen, indeed, it’s been a long time. I’ve been well, and you? You still look the same.”

In fact, more than three years had passed. Though he refused to accept the passage of time, he now had quite a few more gray hairs. Although he was still vigorous, he was indeed older than he was three years ago—over fifty now.

However, despite more than three years having passed, Mr. Chen Fei’s appearance today seemed not much different from before, and he even looked a bit younger.

This seemingly unchanged appearance made Huang Tao silently marvel. Chen Fei, Mr. Chen, was no doubt a god-like figure in his eyes. Such skills were indeed impressive.

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn’t suppress the reverence and excitement in his heart. He bowed again to Chen Fei and said, ”Mr. Chen, truly, it’s been a long time. It’s really a pleasure to see you again.”

At this moment, Huang Tao exhibited none of his usual demeanor as the municipal committee secretary, but appeared as an ordinary man.

”Uncle Huang, you’re teasing me. By the way, I haven’t congratulated you yet. I heard you are now the municipal committee secretary of Northern Mountain City? That’s amazing.” Chen Fei smiled warmly.

”Please, Mr. Chen, it’s one thing for others to say that, but when you say it, it makes me feel uneasy! Compared to you, my current achievements are worlds apart, not even on the same level. Please, don’t tease me...”

Hearing Chen Fei’s praises, Huang Tao couldn’t help but wave his hands repeatedly, feeling anxious.

”What teasing? Uncle Huang, you’re too modest... Being the municipal committee secretary is being the top leader of Northern Mountain, isn’t that impressive?” Chen Fei laughed.

”Alas, no matter how impressive, I’m nothing compared to you, Mr. Chen. You probably don’t know this, but your previous position as Chief Instructor of Flying Leopard has been promoted again.” Huang Tao laughed modestly.

”Promoted? To what?” Chen Fei was slightly taken aback, recalling he still held the title of ’Chief Instructor of Flying Leopard.’ After a moment of pause, he couldn’t help but laugh, ”I’ve been gone so long, and they haven’t removed me yet?”

”Removed?” A smile appeared on Huang Tao’s face as he said, ”Two years ago, they considered moving your position, Mr. Chen. They sent someone over, but do you know what happened?”

”What happened?” Chen Fei asked curiously.

”Back then, it was said that the entire Base of Flying Leopard was empty, not a single person there. The assigned person ended up a lone commander for half a month, too embarrassed to continue, and returned to the Capital City…” Huang Tao chuckled.

”Pfft!” Chen Fei couldn’t help but laugh, saying, ”These guys are something else, all ran off? Not one stayed? Didn’t Elder Luo deal with them?”

”Elder Luo…” Hearing that, Huang Tao’s face changed slightly, and then darkened, said, ”Mr. Chen, a year after you disappeared, Elder Luo passed away. But he went peacefully, without much suffering...”

”Is that so?” Chen Fei’s expression changed slightly, then shook his head to calm down, and lamented, ”Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the laws of nature, can’t be helped. By the way, Old Master Xuu should also have...”

He remembered diagnosing Old Master Xuu before he left, predicting at most a year or even half a year… Now, over three years had passed, and Xuu was probably no longer alive, right?

”No!”

To his surprise, Huang Tao shook his head, looked at Chen Fei with some tension, and said, ”Mr. Chen, I rushed here today partly because of this. Old Master Xuu is still alive, has not passed away, but his condition is very dangerous. He’s been lying in Dragon Tiger Mountain Sanatorium in the Capital City for half a month now. Do you think there’s anything that can be done...”

The reason he could sit in such a high position as the municipal committee secretary of Northern Mountain City now, to be honest, was due to the face that Chen Fei left behind back then, which helped the Xuu Family support him a bit, leading to his position today. Therefore, Huang Tao was now considered on the Xuu Family’s boat.

Now that Old Master Xuu was critically ill, they were entirely helpless before, having to accept reality. But with Mr. Chen Fei, this otherworldly expert, returning, it reignited his hope.

Because it was possible that Mr. Chen Fei might have a way to help Old Master Xuu once more.

If Old Master Xuu could live one more day, it would be a great blessing and highly beneficial not only for the Xuu Family but also for everyone on that boat, including Huang Tao. Incredibly important.

”What?” Upon hearing this, Chen Fei was momentarily stunned, ”Old Master Xuu is still alive?”

Clearly, he was a bit surprised by this reality. Was it possible he had misdiagnosed back then?

It shouldn’t be, for his medical skills were already at a divine level at that time.

”Call them over there, find out the situation. My phone’s gone, and the old numbers are no longer in service.” Then he tossed aside the unnecessary questions entirely.

The fact that Old Master Xuu was still alive made him happy, so the priority was to save the person first.

With his current capabilities, not just critical illness, even if someone had half a breath left and hadn’t gone to the underworld, he could make them lively again! Even extend their life by a few more years, easily, no problem.

”Mr. Chen, you have a way?” Hearing Chen Fei’s words, Huang Tao became excited and quickly pulled out his phone.

”Mr. Chen, please wait, I’ll call the Capital City right away.”

Huang Tao searched through his contacts. He didn’t seem to have the direct contact for the Xuu Family in the Capital, so he found and dialed the number for Jiangnan Province’s current Provincial Standing Committee Secretary, former Governor, Zhao Zhengcheng.

Beep, beep...

The call connected.

”Hello, Huang Tao? It’s quite late. What’s the matter?” Zhao Zhengcheng’s voice came through the receiver, sounding full of energy but slightly weary.

But this conveyed closeness. If he weren’t a trusted person, Zhao Zhengcheng wouldn’t behave so casually.

”Secretary Zhao, it’s like this...” Huang Tao began to explain, but Chen Fei reached out and said, ”Let me handle it.”

Huang Tao paused slightly, then handed the phone to Chen Fei: ”Alright...”

”Governor Zhao, it’s me, Chen Fei.” Taking the phone, Chen Fei said calmly.

Upon hearing the words, Zhao Zhengcheng on the other end instantly trembled all over, and he abruptly stood up, his expression full of excitement.
