Silence spread like a plague in an instant.
Lin Zheyun is a clueless kid, and his questions are too hurtful.
Having been dead for many years and long since lost his physical form, the old ghost Hu Jiuyuan felt as if he had been pierced by a thousand arrows.
Just a moment ago I was about to boast about my past reputation in the martial arts world, but now I just want to dig a hole in the ground and bury myself in it again.
However, considering that this was a disciple who had only appeared once every hundred years, Hu Jiuyuan's face was heavy, as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he ultimately did not simply turn around and leave.
"Second brother." In the end, it was Lin Weiming who stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Don't talk nonsense, kid. The master is naturally a superb doctor, but life and death are determined by fate. No matter how powerful the master is, he cannot avoid it."
Hu Jiuyuan nodded and gave Lin Weiming an approving look.
No, I'm too old.
Most people don't have Hu Jiuyuan's health preservation techniques; at his age, he certainly can't learn much.
He has no desire to take on an apprentice like that.
"Oh!" Lin Zheyun nodded, then posed the second question about death: "Since life and death are determined by fate, it seems that whether he is powerful or not is of little use."
Hu Jiuyuan: "..."
"Second son, the food outside is getting cold. Come out and eat with me!" Xuefu's expression changed, and she simply pulled her son out.
Although she can't solve Lin Zheyun's problem, she can solve this person's problem!
Lin Zheyun wanted to watch the excitement, but her mother dragged her out with a dark face.
He was also hungry. He had been helping out at the shop all morning and had eaten quite a bit of roasted sweet potato noodles, but he was still hungry by now.
A slapping sound came from outside the door, followed by Lin Zheyun's wailing, "Waaaaah—Mom, didn't we say it was time to eat? Why did you spank me?"
"Waaaaah... Mother is bullying me!"
Everyone tacitly pretended not to hear.
Lin Weiming rubbed his hands together, and said to Hu Jiuyuan with some excitement, "Master, do you really want to take my fourth son as your apprentice? You see, I have several sons in my family, and I'm still young. Do you think I have a chance?"
"No." Hu Jiuyuan said without any mercy, but his gaze did not fall on Lin Ziqiu, but on Lin Wanyue: "Little girl, you really don't want to learn medicine from me? My skills are not only to cure diseases and save lives, but I also have some insights into killing and poisoning."
"Your face is so round and chubby. It looks cute now, but it won't be as pretty when you grow up. I can teach you some beauty and slimming tips. Do you want to learn from me?"
Hu Jiuyuan floated in front of Lin Wanyue, patiently guiding her.
"Hey!" Liu Junlan was displeased. "Although you're a doctor, don't be disrespectful to your elders and don't talk nonsense. My Wanwan is so beautiful now. It's not easy for her to have such a round face after eating and drinking her fill! Why does she want to be like those skinny sticks?"
"I was just saying..."
“Wanwan is beautiful no matter what she looks like, but I don’t think you’re a good person! My Wanwan is still young, and she’s busy enough with fortune telling every day. Let’s leave the medical studies to the fourth son.” Liu Junlan didn’t like hearing anyone say anything bad about Lin Wanyue, so she made arrangements for Lin Ziqiu directly.
Studying medicine is also a skill; if you master it, you can not only support your family but also benefit the surrounding villages.
Practicing medicine and saving lives is a good deed that brings blessings. If this old man really has some skills, it wouldn't be a bad thing for the fourth son to learn from him.
But judging from his current demeanor, he actually wants to seduce her Wanwan?
That won't do!
Lin Wanyue nodded as well.
That's right, Grandma is absolutely right!
She's still a baby, she can't afford to overwork herself.
Being busy with fortune telling every day is already tiring enough.
Hu Jiuyuan: "..."
It's clear that Liu Junlan is still the one who calls the shots in this family.
He sighed inwardly. He should have known that the little boy's ability to make him appear just by lighting an incense stick was probably no less than his own.
Having no other choice, he had to settle for second best and turned his attention to Lin Ziqiu beside him.
"Little kid, would you be willing to be my apprentice?" Hu Jiuyuan asked.
Lin Weiming was incredibly excited, wishing he could take his place. He quickly encouraged him, saying, "Ziqiu, this master is a renowned physician in the martial arts world. If you can learn medicine from him, you'll definitely become an amazing doctor. You'll be able to cure any illness you have. You won't have to worry about your family members getting sick, and you can even make a lot of money like the pharmacy across from our shop!"
Lin Ziqiu's innocent gaze swept across his father's face, landing on Hu Jiuyuan's white-haired but still somewhat energetic face, before he lowered his head again.
"Fourth brother, is there something you're worried about? Tell me first, and I'll help you solve it." Lin Weiming noticed Lin Ziqiu's hesitation and quickly asked.
He didn't want to miss such a great opportunity.
Even if I can't become a disciple of the master, if my son can learn from Master Hu Jiuyuan, it will still be thanks to his father's blessing, and the ancestral graves will be filled with auspicious smoke!
"Hmm..." Lin Ziqiu said somewhat hesitantly, "I just wanted to ask, Grandpa, how old are you? If I became your apprentice, could I live that long too?"
"Hehe." Hu Jiuyuan smiled smugly, glancing at Lin Wanyue before saying, "I was already over a hundred when I died. If you become my disciple, I will naturally teach you some methods of health preservation. Even if you don't live to my age, it won't be difficult for you to live a few decades longer."
