Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 962: Chapter 961: Gaining an Undeserved Reputation?

Tang Zhanshan, who was previously chatting with the Gu family head Gu Jiangming, turned his head towards his daughter upon hearing her shout.

However, once he looked, he also saw Lin Dong.

He didn’t respond to his daughter Tang Han, instead, he looked at Lin Dong and frowned, saying:

”What are you doing here?”

At this sight, Tang Han and the others all became curious, wondering how Lin Dong knew Tang Zhanshan.

Seated at the head of the table was Gu Jiangming, who is also Gu Lingfei’s dad. At this time, he spoke up:

”Lingfei, who is this?”

Gu Lingfei hurriedly introduced him to her father, ”He is the Leader of the Southern Faction’s Traditional Chinese Medicine, Lin Dong!”

”The Leader of the Southern Faction’s Traditional Chinese Medicine?” Upon hearing this, Gu Jiangming was also slightly taken aback.

Although he rarely went out in Demon City, the Gu family was still a noble family in the world of Chinese Medicine, so he had some understanding of matters concerning the outside Chinese Medicine World.

He knew that in recent years, there had emerged a genius in Chinese Medicine, who, young as he was, was elected Leader by the practitioners of the Southern Chinese Medicine School.

Moreover, he had won against Elder Wang Taisui in the Medical Competition between the Southern and Northern Factions.

He never expected to see this young man at the Gu family home.

Gu Jiangming smiled slightly and then cupped his hands in greeting:

”My apologies, I didn’t realize you were the Leader of the Southern Faction’s Traditional Chinese Medicine, Leader Lin. May I ask what brings Leader Lin to our Gu family?”

Tang Zhanshan, upon learning that Lin Dong was the Leader of the Southern Faction’s Traditional Chinese Medicine, was also stunned.

He didn’t expect Lin Dong to hold that status.

But even so, he still didn’t believe what Lin Dong had said.

That he had been poisoned?

Absurd!

In fact, after returning home, he had undergone various tests at the military hospital, and all results were normal.

”It seems that this kid’s status as the Leader of the Southern Faction’s Traditional Chinese Medicine is nothing but empty fame,” Tang Zhanshan thought to himself.

Lin Dong had no idea what he was thinking.

Instead, he looked towards Gu Jiangming and also cupped his hands, saying:

”Uncle Gu, my visit this time is due to that five-hundred-year-old Heavenly and Earthly treasure you possess.”

”I wish to purchase it from you; just name your price, no matter how expensive.”

As soon as he said this, Gu Jiangming’s expression subtly changed.

He felt somewhat displeased internally.

It had taken him a great deal of effort to acquire that five-hundred-year-old Heavenly and Earthly treasure, and he wouldn’t easily sell it to others.

But this youngster, right upon arrival, said any price would do to buy his Heavenly and Earthly treasure.

That tone alone made him uncomfortable.

”I’m sorry, Leader Lin, but our Gu family does not sell that Heavenly and Earthly treasure. No matter the amount of money, we will not sell!”

Gu Jiangming appeared very resolute.

Lin Dong quickly said, ”Then, Mr. Gu, I am willing to trade other things with you instead.”

”For instance, the Resuscitating Pill and the Nine Rebirth Pills.”

”I am willing to trade five Resuscitating Pills and ten Nine Rebirth Pills for that five-hundred-year-old Heavenly and Earthly treasure.”

Whoa!

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiangming was again startled.

He had also heard of the Resuscitating Pill and Nine Rebirth Pills.

Out in the world, a Resuscitating Pill cost twenty billion each.

Nine Rebirth Pills cost ten billion each.

To acquire the Heavenly and Earthly treasure he held, this youngster really was generous!

However, Gu Jiangming still shook his head and refused.

”I’m sorry, Leader Lin, this is not open for discussion. The Heavenly and Earthly treasure is something our Gu family intends to keep for ourselves; we will not sell or trade it.”

Seeing this, Lin Dong felt somewhat disappointed.

This Gu Jiangming was really not open to discussion.

Just as he was about to say more, Gu Jiangming spoke first:

”I’m sorry, Leader Lin, today is just a small gathering for our family. Hence, it is not convenient to entertain guests...”

That clearly meant he was being shown the door.

Gu Lingfei immediately said, ”Dad, Teacher Lin Dong was my internship Teacher when I was in Southern Capital. Since we’re having a small gathering at home today, why not let him join in?”

With a smile, Gu Jiangming looked at Lin Dong and said, ”Leader Lin, how about you stay and join us for a meal? But please, don’t bring up the matter of the Heavenly and Earthly treasure again!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong sighed internally.

He knew that Gu Jiangming was not welcoming him in his heart.

As for having a meal, Lin Dong felt it was unnecessary.

”I apologize for the intrusion. I’d better not join in on your family gathering,” Lin Dong delicately declined, then made his excuses to leave.

After Lin Dong left, Gu Lingfei angrily said:

”Dad, even if you didn’t want to sell the herbs to Teacher Lin Dong, there was no need to send him away.”

Gu Jiangming quickly apologized, ”Lingfei, I was wrong. Didn’t I invite him to stay for the meal later? It’s him who didn’t want to.”

Feeling cross, yet unsure of what to say, Gu Lingfei could only frown.

Tang Zhanshan then interjected, ”Lingfei ah, in my opinion, that kid is just a person of empty fame. And I really wonder what Skills he used to become the Leader of the Southern Faction’s Traditional Chinese Medicine.”

At that, Gu Lingfei frowned and said, ”Uncle, what do you mean by that?”

Tang Zhanshan then recounted the incident from a few days back when Lin Dong had said he was poisoned.

”He said I was poisoned, but as soon as I got back, I immediately went to the military hospital for a full checkup, and all the data were normal.”

”I don’t feel unwell myself, isn’t this clearly nonsense?”

However, with a serious expression, Gu Lingfei said:

”Uncle, I advise you to go find him for treatment. His medical arts are truly exceptional; if he said you’re poisoned, then it must be true.”

Tang Zhanshan waved his hand dismissively, ”Lingfei, you’re still too young and easily deceived. As for that boastful kid, I’d recommend you keep your distance from him!”

Despite Gu Lingfei’s continued persuasion, Tang Zhanshan paid it no mind.

Which left Gu Lingfei feeling very helpless.

Meanwhile, after Lin Dong left the Gu household, he saw at the door a car belonging to the Yan Family.

The person who came out of the lead car was surprisingly Yan Yu.

Yan Yu also saw Lin Dong and was clearly taken aback for a moment.

But she quickly regained her composure.

Without greeting Lin Dong, she entered the Gu family home.

”What is Yan Yu doing at the Gu family’s place?”

Lin Dong was curious.

He simply didn’t go far and sat inside the nearby Hongqi car, activating his X-Ray and Tracking abilities.

To see what Yan Yu was up to at the Gu family’s.
