Chapter 24 -24 Young Master
Xiao Xingtian circled Long Chen and then stared intensely at him, not even blinking.
This expression made Long Chen inexplicably panicked, unsure of Xiao Xingtian’s intentions.
“Mr. Xiao, if you have something to say, please feel free to speak directly. Your staring is making me a bit nervous,”
Long Chen said with a wry smile.
“Divine Doctor Long, I have two questions to ask you, and I hope you can answer them truthfully. Can you do that?”
Xiao Xingtian said as he stared at Long Chen.
“Of course.”
Long Chen nodded.
Beside them, Gu Changming and Gu Xiao were both clueless and remained silent, not daring to interrupt Xiao Xingtian.
Xiao Xingtian glanced at the driver, Xiao Zhang, hesitated, and then stopped.
Understanding immediately, Xiao Zhang quickly left the room.
Seeing this, Xiao Xingtian continued to stare at Long Chen and asked his first question: “Young Master Long, is your family’s ancestral home in Seven Star City? Or could it possibly be somewhere else, like Emperor City?”
“No, as far as I know, my family has lived in Seven Star City for generations,” Long Chen replied.
“Good. Now, the second question, and the most important one, what is your grandfather’s name?”
Xiao Xingtian asked in a deep voice.
“My grandfather has passed away, and I… I would rather not casually mention his name.”
Long Chen said through clenched teeth.
“There’s no problem if you don’t wish to speak it; I’ll do it. If I’m correct, just nod your head. If I’m wrong, then shake your head, how about that?”
Xiao Xingtian said.
Long Chen stared at Xiao Xingtian, feeling that this man exuded an air of oddity.
“Mr. Xiao, what exactly are you getting at with these questions? It feels like you know the Divine Doctor Long personally, though you should have just met for the first time if there were no surprises,”
Gu Changming couldn’t help but speak up.
“In theory, yes, it’s our first meeting, but there are some matters I need to confirm,” Xiao Xingtian replied.
“Alright then, please continue.”
Gu Changming shrugged his shoulders.
Xiao Xingtian nodded and then asked Long Chen earnestly, “Is your grandfather’s name Long Hai?”
“How do you know that?”
Long Chen was shocked.
Upon hearing Long Chen’s affirmative answer, Xiao Xingtian momentarily seemed to lose his composure with emotion, suddenly kneeling before Long Chen, tears streaming down his face as he loudly said, “Young master, please allow me to bow before you.”
“Hold on, Mr. Xiao, what do you mean?”
Long Chen was astounded and tried to lift Xiao Xingtian up, but Xiao Xingtian refused to get up.
Gu Changming and Gu Xiao also widened their eyes in disbelief.
Xiao Xingtian wiped his tears away, his emotions still uncontrollable: “Young master, I came to Seven Star City specifically to find you. I never expected to stumble upon you here.”
“Mr. Xiao, I think you must be mistaking me for someone else. I’ve grown up in Seven Star City since I was young; I can’t be the ‘young master’ you’re referring to. Please stand up.”
Long Chen spoke gravely.
“Young master, then have you never seen your biological parents from childhood to adulthood? Has your grandfather never spoken to you in detail about your parents?”
Xiao Xingtian asked.
“Well… that’s indeed the case.”
Long Chen furrowed his brow.
“So, I haven’t mistaken you. When you were one year old, the Long Family faced disaster, your mother died in an accident, and your father encountered great troubles. Concerned that you might be harmed, he secretly sent you away to be raised by Long Hai, who was once a subordinate of your father.”
Xiao Xingtian said somberly.
“That’s impossible…”
Long Chen’s hand clenched tightly.
“Young master, what I’m saying is entirely true, but I dare not explain the details to you right now—it involves too much.
However, I can tell you that your father is still alive, just temporarily unable to recognize you. But rest assured, it’s only a matter of time.”
Xiao Xingtian spoke solemnly.
“Mr. Xiao, are you saying that Young Master Long’s father is that…”
“Gu Changming, you’re right.”
Xiao Xingtian cut off Gu Changming’s words.
Gu Changming gasped sharply, his complexion completely changing.
“Gu Changming, please keep this a secret.”
Xiao Xingtian said.
“Rest assured, even if you gave me Gu Changming a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare speak of it.”
Gu Changming forced a smile.
Seeing Gu Changming’s evasive demeanor, Long Chen couldn’t help but ask, “Who is he, really?”
“Young Master, it’s better for you not to know for now. It’s for your own good. When the time is right, I will take you to Emperor City.”
Xiao Xingtian spoke softly.
“Forget it, I don’t want to know now.”
Long Chen said with a bitter smile.
Gaining a father out of the blue was too much for Long Chen to accept all at once.
“Well then, Divine Doctor, let’s have breakfast first.”
Gu Changming changed the subject.
“Alright.”
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Long Chen nodded.
“You eat, I’ll go out to make a call.”
Xiao Xingtian walked outside.
Long Chen could guess without thinking too hard that he was certainly going to call that father he had never met.
And at that moment, Long Chen was already mostly convinced, but he just couldn’t accept it just yet.
“Divine Doctor, come, let’s start, don’t be shy.”
Gu Changming said with a smile, but Long Chen distinctly sensed that Gu Changming’s attitude had become somewhat more cautious.
This subtle change inevitably complicated Long Chen’s feelings.
It seemed that his father was no ordinary person.
Twenty minutes later, everyone finished breakfast, and Long Chen looked at Gu Changming, saying, “We can start the treatment now.”
“Thank you, Divine Doctor.”
Gu Changming bowed.
“Gu Changming, there is no need for such formality. You helped me at the hospital yesterday, and I’m here to help you today; we will be even after this. Besides, I have a favor to ask of you later.
Furthermore, please don’t call me Divine Doctor; just use my name. I am a peer of Gu Xiao, and it makes me uncomfortable if you’re too polite…” Long Chen said with a smile.
Gu Changming was startled for a moment. After looking at Long Chen and then at Gu Xiao, as if understanding something, he immediately said with a smile, “Alright, then I shall simply call you by your name from now on.”
“Fine.”
As Long Chen spoke, he extended his right hand and placed it on Gu Changming’s back.
Next, Long Chen channeled Mysterious Energy to treat the damaged meridian in Gu Changming’s back.
The healing power of Mysterious Energy was incredibly strong, and in the blink of an eye, Long Chen saw the damaged meridian restored.
He withdrew his hand, feeling somewhat astonished at himself.
The speed was a bit too fast, and he had only used a small amount of Mysterious Energy.
At that very moment, Long Chen was extremely curious about the Mysterious Energy within his body that, once used, would slowly regenerate.
Of course, apart from this method, Long Chen could also use the silver needle technique recorded in the Medical Immortal’s legacy, but he had not yet come into contact with it and could only use this most direct method.
“How do you feel now?”
Long Chen asked Gu Changming.
Gu Changming got up, moved around a bit, and his ecstasy was evident: “It’s fixed, completely fixed.”
“As long as it’s fixed.” Long Chen said with a smile.
“Grandfather, are you sure you’re not mistaken? He just placed his hand on your back for a moment, and that removed your ailment of many decades?”
Gu Xiao was in disbelief.
“Gu Xiao, although Grandfather finds it hard to believe too, the Divine Doctor indeed did it. Now, I feel much stronger, haha, he truly is a Divine Doctor, I admire him.”
Gu Changming turned toward Long Chen, ready to give a deep bow.
Long Chen quickly stopped him, saying sternly, “Don’t celebrate too soon!”
