Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 644 - 643: Aren’t You Going Out of Your Way?

Logically analyzing, Wu Yili had surmised that Tang Yiyuan must have held Ge Dongxu in high esteem, otherwise Tang Yahui, as Tang Yiyuan's daughter, wouldn't have specifically called him, nor mentioned that he had advised her father.

Yet, seeing Tang Yiyuan rush down the stairs and address Ge Dongxu as 'Mr.', Wu Yili still couldn't help but widen her eyes in disbelief.

Principal Zhang and the others felt the same way.

After all, Tang Yiyuan was a leading authority on traditional Chinese medicine in Jiangnan Province, while Ge Dongxu was just a young man.

However, Principal Zhang and the others quickly thought of their own mother and, without pondering further about Ge Dongxu, they hurried toward Yang Yinhou and Zhu Dongyu.

"Master Yang, how is my mother?" Principal Zhang asked anxiously.

Although a month was short, it was still much better than a few days! As a son, even if his mother could live one more day, Principal Zhang cared a great deal.

"You ask me, I can only say that it can be delayed for a month, no more. But since my disciple has come, let's have my disciple take a look first, then we can make a definitive conclusion," Yang Yinhou replied.

"Your disciple? Where?" Principal Zhang and the others were taken aback, unsure of what Yang Yinhou meant by that.

Since Yang Yinhou was nearly a hundred years old, they reflexively thought that Yang Yinhou's disciple, if not in his eighties or nineties, would at least be around Zhu Dongyu's age, and they never associated Yang Yinhou's disciple with Ge Dongxu.

Yang Yinhou smiled, didn't answer, and instead, moving past Principal Zhang and the others, he walked down the stairs towards Ge Dongxu and asked, "Dongxu, how did you get here?"

"He, he is Master Yang's junior brother?" Seeing Yang Yinhou talking to Ge Dongxu, Principal Zhang and others finally realized it, all of them visibly shaking, with faces full of stunned shock.

Tang Yiyuan was also caught off guard, looking at Yang Yinhou he asked, "You are Ge's senior brother?"

"What, do you know my junior brother?" Yang Yinhou also seemed surprised upon hearing this.

"Of course I know him; my medical skills have greatly benefited from Mr. Ge's guidance," Tang Yiyuan replied.

"It seems like family doesn't recognize its own," Yang Yinhou said after hearing that Tang Yiyuan had been instructed by Ge Dongxu. He immediately felt a kinship and started smiling.

"Indeed. Before I was wondering, I had never heard of such a reclusive expert in the world of traditional medicine. Now that I know you are Mr. Ge's senior brother, that explains it," complimented Tang Yiyuan.

Tang Yiyuan simply smiled noncommittally, then turning back to Ge Dongxu, he revisited his previous question, "Why did you come? Was it also for Ms. Liu?"

"This is Wu Yili, my university teacher; her grandmother is the patient," Ge Dongxu pulled over the already somewhat astonished Wu Yili and explained.

"So the patient's granddaughter is your teacher!" Yang Yinhou made a point to smile and nod at Wu Yili, then said to Principal Zhang, "My junior brother's medical skills are far superior to mine. Since your niece is my junior's teacher, aren't you seeking help far from home and ignoring the true expert, asking instead for this old man?"

Yang Yinhou, nearly a hundred years old, was a master of his generation, and he naturally didn't feel the need to be modest in front of his own junior brother!

Since his words were not out of modesty, the implication was quite clear!

So when Yang Yinhou spoke these words, aside from Tang Yiyuan and his daughter, who weren't too surprised, everyone else, including Zhu Dongyu, was left in shock.

The family members of Wu Yili's grandmother, especially, were struck with embarrassment after their initial shock.

Just moments before, they had doubted Ge Dongxu's medical skills, and it was only out of face and his goodwill that Principal Zhang had mentioned they might ask Ge Dongxu to help look after Yang Yinhou and others had left.

But what turned out? Ge Dongxu was Yang Yinhou's junior brother, and Yang Yinhou, a man even Zhu Dongyu had to address respectfully, had publicly stated that Ge Dongxu's medical skills were far superior to his own!

How could this not make the family members of Wu Yili's grandmother exceedingly embarrassed?

"This, Master Ge, I was very offensive just now, please, you mustn't take it to heart," Principal Zhang quickly came back to his senses, hurrying to speak apologetically and cautiously.

"Principal Zhang, you are being too formal. Your niece is my teacher and has taken good care of me; it's only right for me to help check on the elderly lady," Ge Dongxu said humbly.

"This, thank you, thank you," Principal Zhang hurriedly said, and while talking, he didn't forget to give a significant look to the still slightly dazed Wu Yili.

It was no wonder Wu Yili was surprised. She had known Ge Dongxu three years ago when he was a boy in tattered clothes and shoes, carrying a medicine basket, a lonesome child from the dark mountains, in her mind, Ge Dongxu had always been a student from a poor mountainous region with a difficult family background. Thus, she had often felt the need to invite him to a hearty meal, fearing he might be struggling financially. But now, this student she was so familiar with had suddenly turned around and become not only a doctor but also a mentor in medical skills to Tang Yiyuan and even the junior brother of Zhu Dongyu's elder. How could her mind bend around that so quickly?
