Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

Just as the young man was about to make a move, a coughing sound came from inside.

"Tianyou, what is it that causes such a clamor?"

The young man was startled and immediately put away his angry expression, becoming respectful as he said, "Master... there is a lunatic insisting on seeing you; I was just about to send him away."

It was also at this moment that Fang Yu saw the old man coming out—could it be anyone else but Sun Qing? He cursed under his breath, damn it, I'm not showing off my ancient language skills, it's just that sometimes these young juniors are too ignorant to recognize a great person—

"Sun Qing, since when have you become such a big shot? Not even meeting with your master?"

Sun Qing, who had just reached the door, was greatly shocked and quickly raised his head to look.

Young Master?

A pair of old, cloudy eyes suddenly widened, his whole body trembling as he quickly stepped forward to Fang Yu and knelt down, saying, "Master... your disciple is at fault for not greeting you from afar, please forgive me, forgive me!"

The young man who looked down on Fang Yu was suddenly left with a blank mind.

Fang Yu glared at him and said, "Is this Tianyou your disciple?"

"Master, he is indeed my disciple." Sun Qing's face showed embarrassment; he could feel that Fang Yu was probably not too pleased at the moment.

Turning his head, Fang Yu glanced faintly at the young man and said, "According to seniority, you should address me as your Grandmaster... Seeing your Grandmaster, are you not going to kneel and kowtow?"

The young man was completely frozen in place.

He didn't know what to say. Sun Qing's attitude had completely thrown him off balance.

Who exactly is the person in front of him? And why would his master refer to him as master?

"Sun Tianyou!"

Seeing that his disciple was motionless, Sun Qing immediately shouted.

Sun Tianyou then returned to his senses, coming before Fang Yu in a startled and disordered manner...

"Kneel down!" said Sun Qing.

"What?"

Now it's the twenty-first century; kneeling and such are part of the old feudal society. It's really hard for Sun Tianyou, who has received modern education, to accept this.

Moreover, it is said that a man's knees are precious, kneel only to heaven, earth, parents, and elders—how could he kneel to a young man?

"How presumptuous!" Sun Qing, with eyes wide and furious, exclaimed, "What do you mean by 'what'?"

Seeing his master so angry, Sun Tianyou hesitantly knelt down, feeling aggrieved as he said, "Master... Grandmaster..."

Fang Yu placed his hand on top of his head, smilingly saying, "Good disciple... that's more like it."

"——"

Sun Tianyou was so angry that he was itching to bite something.

...

Although the kid was a bit too dismissive, Fang Yu couldn't just let Sun Qing keep kneeling because of that. After all, he was getting on in years.

"Stand up and speak." Fang Yu turned around, walked into the hall, and sat down directly on the sofa.

Only then did Sun Qing and his disciple, Sun Tianyou, slowly stand up.

Sun Tianyou hurried to support Sun Qing and approached, but he did not dare to sit down.

"Tianyou, go get my cherished top-quality Tieguanyin..."

"Yes, Master."

Sun Tianyou was puzzled and amazed, who exactly was this youngster to make his master show such great respect and even offer his most beloved Tieguanyin—the thought of this was almost inconceivable in usual times.

"No need." Fang Yu waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over Sun Qing's face, "I see you don't look ill, so why do you look so pale? Aren't you happy to see me?"

"No, no, no... How dare I!" Sun Qing hurriedly gestured, then sighed, "It is the greatest honor of my life to have you visit my residence, Master."

"Is that so?" There was a pressure in Fang Yu's eyes.

At this moment, Sun Tianyou couldn't help but say, "Master has become so haggard these past few days, all because of that old bastard surnamed Hu!"

Hearing this, Fang Yu shifted his gaze to him and said, "Old bastard surnamed Hu?"

Sun Qing hurriedly said, "Tianyou still doesn't know any better, he's talking nonsense. It's all trivial matters, not worth your concern."

Slap!

Fang Yu slapped the table and said sternly, "Are you not treating me as your master?"

"Uh..."

"Speak, what exactly happened? I was wondering, why my little apprentice is all fired up when he sees me."

Hearing the words 'little apprentice,' the corner of Sun Tianyou's mouth twitched.

The feeling of having someone about your age ride roughshod over you is so infuriating!

Sun Tianyou mustered his courage and said, "Across the street at Miao Shou Hall, Hu Erniu, I don't know where he learned such a bizarre Needle Technique... Master was careless and lost to him inadvertently."

"Oh ho, there are people whose Needle Techniques are better than Sun Qing?" Fang Yu was secretly surprised in his heart.

Sun Qing sighed and said softly, "Hu Erniu's Needle Technique is indeed very strange; to this day, I haven't figured out how he does it."

Fang Yu said nonchalantly, "Victory and defeat are common in warfare. You've only learned sixty percent of the Taiyi Divine Needle, keep working hard. Surpassing that what's-his-name Hu Erniu is not a difficult task..."

Sun Tianyou said discontentedly, "That's easy for you to say, but Master's signboard has been taken away by him! The entire Xinglin Realm of Yanjing is laughing at my master, it's like a tiger descended to the plains and being bullied by dogs. We used to have a bustling doorstep, now not even a single patient shows up!"

Lost the signboard?

Fang Yu laughed heartily and pointed at Sun Qing, "Sun Qing, you're not getting any younger, and yet you bet on such things. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Uh... I am wrong," Sun Qing admitted his mistake obediently.

"No wonder you look so awful. Being a doctor, fame is hard to come by, but a bad reputation spreads easily. Cure thousands of people, and you may establish the reputation of a Divine Doctor with magical hands, but kill just one person, and your infamy will spread far and wide, with everyone out to get you," Fang Yu said.

"What the master teaches is correct."

Over these few days, Sun Qing had come to fully understand this lesson.

"It's not a big deal. How about this, I'll win back the signboard for you. Let's go; take me there." Fang Yu said confidently.

"This..." Sun Qing hesitated.

But Sun Tianyou asked, "You know medical skills? Needle Technique?"

"Don't be insolent, your master isn't just proficient in medical skills, his Medical Skill is profound and mysterious, you know nothing!" scolded Sun Qing.

"Hey, hey, hey... I am still very young, don't talk nonsense," Fang Yu rolled his eyes.

"Yes." Sun Qing looked embarrassed but then nodded.

"I..." Sun Tianyou felt wronged. "I just think Hu Erniu's Needle Technique is too bizarre. Master's Needle Technique is already so powerful and yet was caught off guard. I just fear... losing would be humiliating—"

Slap!

Sun Qing lifted his aged hand and slapped Sun Tianyou's face, reprimanding, "What nonsense are you talking? Your master cannot lose!"

Sun Tianyou was struck dumb, with a dumbfounded look on his face. From young till now, the master had never hit him. This slap made his nose tingle, and his heart sadden.

Seeing this, Fang Yu said, "Sun Qing, a child doesn't know any better and should be taught, not always hit..."

Fang Yu walked over, grabbed hold of Sun Tianyou with a smile and said, "Little apprentice, come, let your master broaden your horizons."

"—"

Sun Tianyou was still in a dazed state, looking at Fang Yu with a face full of grievance.

This time, he was thoroughly deflated by the slap; tears came out as he said sorrowfully, "Master... if you... lose, please... don't blame me..."

"Little apprentice, just lead the way."
