Chapter 62 -62: Rise up, little apprentice nephew

…

Silence.

Still silence.

Silence is tonight’s pin-drop silence.

Seeing Lu Sheng hanging up the phone, the dial tone from Gao He’s hands-free phone echoed through the room, leaving everyone wide-eyed and speechless with shock.

—What’s going on here.

The call Gao He made, was it answered by Lu Sheng?

“What’s going on…”

Fu Yun’s eyes widened like copper bells as she looked at Lu Sheng with trembling lips, “The call made by Doctor Gao, why was it answered by you, girl?”

Lu Sheng looked up, her tone calm yet tinged with irony, “Is there a possibility that the person he wanted to call was me all along?”

“What are you saying—”

Chen Ruyun gasped in disbelief, “Are you saying… the mysterious Closed-door Disciple of Master Feng, Feng Guolin, who has never appeared in public, is you?!”

“It’s me.”

Lu Sheng, looking into Chen Ruyun’s eyes, spoke indifferently, “Feng Guolin is my mentor, Li Mingzhang is my senior apprentice brother. By all accounts, I suppose it’s natural for Gao He to refer to me as ‘uncle’.”

Lu Sheng’s tone remained stoic.

With these words, not just Fu Yun, Chen Ruyun, and Fu Siya from the Fu Family, but even the Lu Family and Li Muchen were shocked.

Li Muchen knew that the medical skills of the young lady beside him were extraordinary; otherwise, she wouldn’t have helped him stand up with just two needles.

But he had never linked her with Feng Guolin’s closed-door disciple.

After all, that master had announced taking a Closed-door Disciple more than a decade ago, while how old was Lu Sheng this year? The ages were off by five to six decades.

“This is impossible!”

Suddenly, Fu Siya stood out, challenging her, “That Master Feng took his second disciple twelve years ago, and you were just a high school student. How old were you twelve years ago?”

Fu Siya said, “A five-year-old child from the countryside, to be taken as a Closed-door Disciple by the nationally renowned and most esteemed Chief Traditional Medicine Practitioner, how is that possible?”

“Why is it not possible?”

Lu Sheng said expressionlessly, “Twelve years ago, my master visited my mother in the countryside, saw my extraordinary memory at the age of five and my love for plants, thinking I had the talent to study traditional Chinese medicine, and decided to take me as his disciple on the spot.”

“In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, people always judge medical skills by age and experience. My master didn’t want me to face doubts because of my age and also wished for me to stay away from worldly affairs, focusing on intensive study and research in medicine while I was still young.”

“So all these years, he never directly brought me along to see patients or let me appear in public, nor did he discuss my identity with anyone else. Every month, he would come to the countryside to see me, continuing this for over a decade.”

“As for the Returning Pill, just as Gao He mentioned earlier, my master’s aging body couldn’t keep up with the demands, so he handed over the task to me.”

“In my first year of high school during the summer vacation, I traveled across the length and breadth of the region for two months gathering the necessary materials, then under my master’s guidance, produced three Returning Pills.”

“My master tested the first pill himself to verify the effectiveness of the Returning Pill. He kept one of the remaining two for himself and gave one to me to carry for emergencies.”

“The medicine has been asked for someone to fetch from the Lu Family, it will arrive soon,” Lu Sheng looked up, her gaze sweeping across everyone: “Have I made myself clear enough?”
