Chapter 44 Soon to be Little Doctor Fairy’s Disciple
Zhou Yuzhi wanted to deny it, but then he saw Gu Ruanci looking at him.
He made up his mind and said, "We are still in the probation period, so we can't say that."
Lu Wenxue immediately raised her voice, "Master Zhou Er, everyone in Dizhou City knows of your talent. You've known over a hundred medicinal herbs since childhood, could prescribe medicine at the age of ten, and were incredibly accurate at taking pulses. You simply lacked a skilled master to guide you. No matter how much the Little Medical Immortal doesn't want to participate in this world, she needs a successor. I think you're the perfect candidate."
After she finished speaking, everyone started to congratulate her, as if Zhou Yuzhi had become the disciple of the Little Medical Immortal.
"That's right. If Little Medical Immortal had good judgment, she would definitely choose Mr. Zhou Er."
"That's right. If it were me, even if I was given the opportunity, I'm afraid it would be a waste for the Little Medical Immortal to teach me any medical skills."
Amidst the praises from the crowd, Zhou Yuzhi gradually lost himself.
Zhou Qinzhu saw that everyone was praising his second brother, so he joined in the fun.
"I knew my second brother was the best. If I kept this opportunity to myself, I'm afraid it would be wasted."
Zhou Qinzhu said this with admiration on her face and a very gentle tone.
Zhou Yuzhi immediately said, "Little sister, all of this is thanks to your luck. You are truly the lucky star of our Jing'an Marquis Mansion. Unlike some people, our Zhou family has never been at peace since returning to Dizhou."
As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Gu Ruanci.
Gu Yulou, the sister-protecting maniac, came online and said directly: "It's not easy to keep quiet. I guarantee that your whole family will be quiet if they are wiped out. If you are worried that you can't die completely, I can help."
This sentence made Zhou Yuzhi's eyes burst into anger, but he had no way to do anything.
He knew that he would definitely not have the advantage in a fight with Gu Yulou, so he simply said, "Even the three of you have no chance to see the Little Medical Fairy. If you are jealous, just say it directly. Don't make excuses that you just came up the mountain to join in the fun and never thought of being chosen by the Little Medical Fairy."
"That's right. Since we all went up the mountain together, we must be trying to achieve the same goal. No one needs to be arrogant." Some followers have already started to agree.
Lu Wenxue corrected him, "Mr. Zhou Er, why are you still calling me Little Medical Fairy? You should be calling me Master."
Zhou Yuzhi smiled awkwardly. Of course he knew he couldn't scream.
They had not left the Five Dragons Palace yet. If Little Medical Fairy knew that he called her "Master" in front of everyone, she might get angry.
So he insisted, "It's not appropriate at this time."
"It's only a matter of time. Let those people just keep talking tough."
Lu Wenxue thought that even if she didn't have this luck, at least the Little Medical Fairy didn't favor the Gu family, so it was a draw.
After returning, she would definitely ask her father to settle accounts with the Gu family.
"Third brother, Yuxuan, let's go down the mountain. There's no need to argue with them. Little Medical Fairy has met three people, and she hasn't seen anyone else as arrogant as them."
Gu Ruanci did not waste time this time. He had already done what he needed to do. It was also good to let the Zhou family maintain this excited state. The more proud they are now, the more uncomfortable they will be in the future.
At this time, everyone also remembered that there were two people who had not admitted it at all.
"Yes, there are two more people. Besides Mr. Zhou Er, who else did Xiao Yixian meet?" someone was reminded.
"I don't know. No one has mentioned it. It's too low-key..."
In a distant corner, Lu Enyan watched these people's farce and felt it was ironic.
Especially Zhou Yuzhi, Gu Runci's biological brother. If one day he knew that the sister he despised the most was actually the little medical fairy he wanted to be his apprentice, he would probably regret it.
Everyone asked each other for a long time, but no one admitted it.
"Gu Ruanci, you brought this up on purpose. Are you trying to say that you are one of them?"
Lu Wenxue thought, it couldn't be her.
In the end, Gu Ruanci didn't give a direct answer: "What's it to you? County Master Mingyue should just mind her own business."
"Sister Ruanci, I'll go down the mountain with you..."
Wu Yixuan also didn't want to stay here and see Lu Wenxue's expression.
"Wu Yixuan, could that person be you?"
When Lu Wenxue saw Wu Yixuan's eyes, there was obviously a different look in them.
"I don't think I have any obligation to report this matter to you, right?" Wu Yixuan remained neither humble nor arrogant.
"If it's really you, no matter what the Little Medical Fairy gave you, I am willing to buy it at ten times the price." Lu Wenxue was still as arrogant as ever.
Wu Yixuan said, "Just think of it as me not getting to see the Little Medical Fairy, and not getting anything else."
After saying that, she took Gu Ruanci's hand and headed straight towards the exit.
Lu Wenxue snorted coldly: "Just like her father, fake and noble."
When Gu Ruanci and his companions reached the halfway point of the mountain, they found that there were many people there and there was a long queue of people blocking the way behind them.
When they came out, a woman didn't know Gu Ruanci, but knew Wu Yixuan.
"Miss Wu, what's going on on the mountain?"
Wu Yixuan patiently explained, "The Little Medical Fairy has already left..."
"Then we came here for nothing?" The woman felt a little sad. They had come from far away, but were stopped by this group of people and not allowed to pass.
"Who are you?" Wu Yixuan asked the people who blocked his way.
"We are naturally from Prince Duan's Mansion..."
Those people are very arrogant and feel quite proud.
Wu Yixuan shook his head. There was no need to argue with them anymore.
"The matter in the temple has ended. You don't need to stop it. The Little Medical Fairy is no longer in the temple anyway."
Those people naturally wouldn't stop them from going down the mountain.
It’s just that those who were stopped here and couldn’t go up were very upset.
Knowing that Xiao Yixiang was no longer there, their last hope was shattered. Fortunately, it was not too late and returning now would not delay their journey.
Wu Yixuan and Gu Runci hit it off right away. They held hands and talked for a long time before getting into their cars and leaving. Wu Yixuan also said that after returning home, he would send an invitation to Gu Runci to invite her to his house for a chat.
Whether out of admiration for Wu Yixuan or an exploration of his elder brother's emotional belonging, Gu Ruanci did not refuse.
The trip to the Five Dragon Palace ended successfully for Gu Ruanci.
Gu Yulou and Gu Yuxuan were worried that what Gu Ruanci did today would prompt Prince Duan's Mansion to take action.
They also told Gu Congyun and Zhuang Hefeng what she did in the Five Dragons Palace.
Gu Congyun and Gu Ruanci had the same attitude towards this: "If I were here, even if Prince Duan said such words, he would be beaten."
Zhuang Hefeng also said, "This concubine's daughter from Prince Duan's mansion is really becoming more and more outrageous. Even Prince Duan, the Emperor, and the Empress Dowager are sometimes helpless against her, and they dare not act too rashly in front of your father. This daughter of his does indeed speak wildly and simply does not take our Shouguo Mansion seriously."
Gu Yuting said, "No matter what, we have caused the Duke of Duan's Mansion to lose face, and Princess Mingyue was threatened by Ruanci. If they ask about the responsibility, we must help Ruanci succeed. We must also keep Ruanci in the dark about this matter, so that she doesn't feel any psychological burden."
Everyone nodded, this is how it should be.
This is the family member they have been waiting for ten years to come back. They can't let her feel uneasy just because of Lu Wenxue.
As a result, in the evening, Prince Duan’s Mansion actually sent someone to apologize.
This surprised the Gu family, who had made other preparations.
The people from Prince Duan's Mansion did not say it explicitly, but just sent them an apology gift on behalf of Prince Duan's Mansion, and revealed that Prime Minister Wu's Mansion also had a copy.
After seeing off the people from Prince Duan's Mansion, they went out to the streets to inquire and found out that after Princess Mingyue returned, she had wanted to act coquettishly with Prince Duan and ask him to punish Gu Ruanci. However, the usually peaceful Princess Duan got furious, and even the ridiculous Prince Duan didn't dare to say a word.
Lu Wenxue lost both face and dignity, and she probably won't dare to cause trouble these days.
At the same time, another rumor was spreading on the street, saying that Zhou Yuzhi, the second son of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, had won the favor of the Little Medical Fairy, who personally taught him the superb acupuncture techniques and promised that as long as he could pass the test, he would accept him as his disciple.
