Chapter 8: The Medicine God is My Disciple

Tang Xiaorou was overjoyed.She didn't expect her goal to be achieved so quickly."Let's go now!" Tang Xiaorou's eyes lit up as she spoke.However, Fang Yu shook his head and said, "There's no rush, I don't want to skip class.""Even if you attend class, you'll just sleep on the desk. What's wrong with skipping? Besides, we can ask for leave." Tang Xiaorou said anxiously.Due to her excitement, her cheeks turned slightly red."True, I am a bit tired, so let me rest for a while." After saying that, Fang Yu lay down on the desk.Tang Xiaorou was both angry and anxious but couldn't do anything about it.Throughout the morning, Fang Yu slept on the desk as though nothing had happened.Many students in the class were still concerned that He Donglin's father would come looking for Fang Yu, but after four classes, there was no news.Even Huang Hai didn't mention the incident from earlier, as if nothing had happened.As a result, the way the students looked at Fang Yu changed.To be able to sit with the Tang family's princess and beat up He Donglin without punishment...They used to think Fang Yu was introverted and aloof, but now they realized that Fang Yu might just be disdainful of interacting with them.After school in the afternoon, Tang Xiaorou was afraid that Fang Yu would slip away, so she directly grabbed his arm."Don't forget what you promised me this morning." Tang Xiaorou said."Let go of my hand so others don't misunderstand." Fang Yu reminded immediately.Tang Xiaorou blushed, bit her lip, and let go of his hand.This jerk! Just by grabbing his arm, it feels like I'm taking advantage of him!He's not a real man!Tang Xiaorou cursed Fang Yu in her heart a thousand times.The two of them left the classroom, one in front and one behind, maintaining a safe distance as they walked out of the school gate.As soon as they stepped out of the school gate, Fang Yu felt hostile gazes upon him.On the opposite side of the road, there was a van parked, and several strong thugs were smoking in front of it. Two of them had cold smiles on their faces when they saw Fang Yu.These thugs were obviously He Wencheng's subordinates.Tang Xiaorou also noticed the group of thugs across the road who clearly had ill intentions.She turned around and walked to Fang Yu's side, saying, "I'll have my fourth uncle drive these people away.""Fourth uncle?" Fang Yu asked."He's right there." Tang Xiaorou pointed to a black Mercedes parked next to the school gate."Fourth uncle is someone my grandfather took in many years ago. His name is Tang Si and now he is responsible for my personal safety." Tang Xiaorou said as she walked.Soon, the two of them arrived next to the Mercedes.A middle-aged man with a prominent scar on his left cheek came out of the driver's seat.With just one glance, Fang Yu knew that this man was also a cultivator, at the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage. In today's terms, he was an innate martial artist.Tang Si also sized up Fang Yu."Fourth uncle, over there..." Tang Xiaorou approached Tang Si and said a few words to him.Tang Si nodded, walked straight to the van, and stood in front of the thugs.The thugs were still looking arrogant, pointing at Fang Yu and waving their iron rods as if they wanted to fight Tang Si as well.But then, Tang Si said a few words, and the thugs' faces immediately turned pale. They bowed and apologized to Tang Si, then quickly got into the van and left."Your fourth uncle seems to be quite capable, right?" Fang Yu asked Tang Xiaorou as they sat in the car."Of course, my fourth uncle is a certified innate eighth-level martial artist of the Martial Artist Association!" Tang Xiaorou said proudly."Oh? Innate martial artists are also divided into levels?" Fang Yu was a little surprised."Yes, innate martial artists are divided into twelve levels. Eight levels and above are considered outstanding. Twelve levels and above... those are the formidable martial arts masters. When I was young, I shook hands with the renowned martial arts master in Jiangnan!" Tang Xiaorou's eyes sparkled with excitement.So, an innate martial artist is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage, with each level representing a layer. And a martial arts master should be the Golden Core stage, which comes after the Foundation Establishment stage."Then now, I am a ninth-level nine hundred and thirty-second stage innate martial artist? It sounds quite impressive." Fang Yu thought to himself.Tang Si came back and sat in the driver's seat, starting the car."Miss, who is this..." Tang Si glanced at Fang Yu through the rearview mirror and asked."This is the medicine god's disciple we met in the northwest, his name is Fang Yu, and now he is also my classmate." Tang Xiaorou introduced."Oh? So, you are Fang Yu, the disciple of the Medicine God Xia Xiuzhi?" Tang Si raised an eyebrow, looking a bit surprised.In his opinion, Fang Yu appeared ordinary in every aspect, and there was nothing remarkable about him.Could such an ordinary high school student really be the Medicine God's disciple?Maybe Tang Xiaorou, being young and naive, was deceived?Tang Si became wary of Fang Yu.There's a chance to cure Tang Xiaorou's grandfather's illness, which put Tang Xiaorou in a good mood. She chattered all the way, telling stories from her childhood.Fang Yu wasn't interested in these stories and responded with a few words here and there.Half an hour later, Fang Yu arrived at the Tang family's top-tier villa in Jianghai City.The Tang family's villa was more than twenty times larger than where Fang Yu lived, and its classical style exuded the grandeur of the Tang family.After passing through a large courtyard filled with potted plants and an artificial lake, they finally arrived at the living room.A maid greeted them, "Miss, you're back."Tang Xiaorou replied with a sound before eagerly asking, "Where's Grandfather?"Before the maid could answer, a woman's voice came from the sofa, "Your grandfather is currently being examined by experts from the capital. Why are you in such a rush to find him?""Aunt." Tang Xiaorou then noticed the middle-aged woman sitting on the sofa. She was her eldest uncle's wife, Liang Rong."Xiaorou, how can you bring someone home without introducing them?" Liang Rong, dressed in luxurious clothing, looked at Fang Yu."He is the Medicine God's disciple that my brother and I met in the northwest, his name is Fang Yu." Tang Xiaorou introduced."Oh? You're Fang Yu?" Liang Rong squinted her eyes slightly, carefully observing Fang Yu.Fang Yu nodded without saying a word."Are you sure you're the Medicine God's disciple? Deceiving our Tang family...you won't be able to bear the consequences. Now, I'll give you a chance. If you admit that you lied, I can let it go. Otherwise... don't expect to get away easily." Liang Rong sneered and said.She didn't believe that such an ordinary young person, the same age as Tang Xiaorou, could be the Medicine God's disciple. And coincidentally, he happened to go to the same school as Tang Xiaorou.Clearly, Fang Yu had ulterior motives and wanted to get close to the Tang family or Tang Xiaorou to gain benefits.Such things were not uncommon for a wealthy family like the Tangs.Upon hearing Liang Rong's words, Tang Xiaorou's face changed, and she anxiously said, "Aunt, Fang Yu is here to help my grandfather get treatment...""Treatment? Him? Haha, Xiaorou, you're still too naive. I guarantee this kid has ulterior motives. He is not a disciple of the Medicine God, he just has other intentions, wanting to get close to you and gain benefits from our Tang family." Liang Rong sneered and said."Actually, I think I already said that I'm not the Medicine God's disciple, right?" Fang Yu glanced at Tang Xiaorou and said."As expected, you admit it now?" Liang Rong showed a contemptuous expression and said."Strictly speaking, Xia Xiuzhi is my disciple." Fang Yu smiled faintly and said.Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at Fang Yu strangely, including the maid and Tang Si who was standing behind.Was this person going insane after being exposed?He claimed to be the Medicine God's disciple?But if they thought about it, how old is the Medicine God, and how old is Fang Yu?Before he was even born, the Medicine God was already renowned in China, right?"Nonsense! Xiaorou! When you and Feng'er came back last time and told me about meeting the Medicine God's disciple, I held onto hope, thinking that there was still a chance for your grandfather. But I didn't expect that you brought back such a lunatic!" An elegantly dressed middle-aged man walked out from the back room."Dad..." Tang Xiaorou called softly.Tang Mingde's face turned dark as he looked at Fang Yu and said, "Speak up, who sent you to get close to our Tang family? Tell the truth, and we might let you off. Otherwise...don't expect to easily escape."Tang Xiaorou's tears welled up in her beautiful eyes. She brought Fang Yu back just to help her grandfather get treated, never expecting things to escalate like this.
