Chapter 69: I tricked myself into a trap
The Gu family was shocked. It turned out that Gu Ruanci's plan was so complicated. It must have started when she just returned to Dizhou City.
The Zhou family's self-righteousness, the Ye family's hypocrisy and cunningness, and even the attitudes of others, all combined to create the current situation...
"If it weren't for the current emperor's rule of benevolence and filial piety, the Zhou and Ye families would have been punished for their joint actions. After all, Ye Keguan is your mother's biological father, and that old man in the Jing'an Marquis's mansion is still alive and firmly controls your mother's three sons... If that old man had died at the hands of Zhou Yuzhi, I would really like to see how big a lie they would have to fabricate to cover up such a huge crime."
Zhuang Hefeng even had some expectations. She had thought about helping Ye Hesheng get revenge over the years, but she just didn't have a suitable way.
Now that Gu Ruanci has returned, no matter what she does, their Gu family will stand firmly with her.
The servants of the Gu family were carefully selected and very loyal, so the fact that Gu Ruanci was the Little Medical Fairy would never leak out.
Soon, according to Gu Ruan's idea, news began to spread in Dizhou City that the Little Medical Immortal was impressed by the abundance of talented people in Dizhou City and was preparing to recruit disciples here.
It's just that she doesn't have that much time and energy to train someone from scratch, so she needs someone with certain talent and foundation, preferably with some decent achievements, before she can be considered.
If it were anyone else, this rule would probably be criticized. After all, those who meet the requirements can achieve considerable success with their own research over time. But this is the Little Medical Immortal. Anyone who becomes her disciple represents the highest level of medical skill known to them.
Of course, Zhou Yuzhi was encouraged by the news. He had finally waited for it.
"Second brother, I heard that many famous doctors are eager to try this time."
After Zhou Yuqi inquired about the current situation outside, he said to Zhou Yuzhi.
After all, opportunities are rare, so you always have to understand your opponent's situation.
Zhou Yuzhi wasn't surprised. "This is perfectly normal. Over the years, Imperial Doctor Zang has had countless people lining up to become his disciples. Now, a young medical genius has appeared who even he admits is inferior to, and has openly announced that he wants to take in disciples. Who wouldn't want to be his disciple?"
After listening to it, Zhou Yuqi felt that it made sense.
"That's true. If no one is interested, there's no need for Second Brother to fight for it."
After Zhou Zhili finished his official business, he paid special attention to this matter.
"Right now, the rumors are all over the place. This Little Medical Fairy hasn't even shown up yet, and there are already so many people eager to try. Yu Zhi, are you really sure that the Little Medical Fairy can choose you?"
Zhou Yuzhi hesitated for a moment. "Father, although I'm not completely confident, I've almost mastered the Nine Needles for Rejuvenating Yang that the Little Medical Immortal taught me. I just lack practical experience now. It seems that others don't even have this advantage over me."
Zhou Qinzhu immediately said, "Yes, Father, my second brother has been working very hard lately. Besides taking care of Grandma, he's also been studying medicine. Sometimes he even forgets to eat. It makes me sad to see him. I believe that hard work pays off, and my second brother must be the chosen one. I even think that the Little Medical Fairy heard the news that our Zhou family had spread, and wanted to take advantage of it. She only announced this news just to legitimately take my second brother in."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Yuzhi felt much more cheerful, and he almost believed that this was the fact.
"What Qin Zhu said is not without reason. After all, when it comes to talent in Dizhou City, there are not many people who can compare with Yu Zhi."
Ye Lanxin also gave some words of encouragement. There hadn't been any substantial good things happening in their home recently, and they urgently needed something to boost their morale.
Zhou Zhili also wanted to think in this relaxed way, but he still sighed.
"When I met Imperial Doctor Zang today, I specifically asked him about his Junior Sister taking on a disciple. He insisted that he knew nothing about it. The Little Medical Fairy had never mentioned it to him. I don't know how the news got out. He also reminded us to be cautious in identifying any case. It's not uncommon for people to be scammed using his Junior Sister's name."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Yuzhi and said, "If he said that, I really feel uneasy."
Zhou Yuzhi fell silent, and even Zhou Qinzhu couldn't persuade him.
Instead, Zhou Yuqi thought about it and said, "Father, this is not difficult to understand. If he says he knows, what if you ask him to say a few good words for the sake of our friendship? And if others do the same, Doctor Zang will offend a lot of people. Saying he knows nothing from the beginning is the best way. Not only can it prevent anyone from taking advantage of you, but it also avoids offending the Little Medical Fairy."
After he finished speaking, everyone inexplicably felt that what he said made a lot of sense.
"That's right, I didn't expect that. If it were fake, Little Medical Fairy would have come out to clarify. Imperial Doctor Zang's statement was just to stay out of it."
Zhou Yuqi added, "My second brother always wanted to be his disciple, but now he's set his sights on Little Medical Fairy. Even if she's his junior sister, he'll definitely feel uncomfortable. So, father, don't even think about getting any help from him. We'll just be thankful he doesn't try to trip up my second brother."
Zhou Yuxiu finally spoke, "Third brother is right, Father. The Little Medical Immortal has clearly stated the conditions for accepting a disciple. Second brother already meets the first two conditions, and clearly surpasses many others. It's only the third one, with its impressive results, that really requires careful consideration. Among those who want to become his disciple, there are many who are somewhat famous. Even if Second brother goes out for free medical treatment at this time, he won't quickly build up any reputation. If he really encounters a problem he can't solve for the time being, it will actually affect his reputation."
His worries are not without reason.
The whole family was not only thinking about the old lady's illness at this moment, but also Zhou Yuzhi's future and the convenience this would bring to the Zhou family.
Before they could finish their discussion, a servant came hurriedly to report that the old lady's condition was not good again.
Zhou Yuzhi seemed to have found an idea suddenly. His first thought was not to find Doctor Zang, but to test his Nine Needles to Restore Yang.
