Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

"Was it from Qi Shan? Is there a problem with Song Yun's medicinal recipe?"

Ouyang Shu's expression turned stern. At this critical juncture where friend and foe were indistinguishable, suppressing any news about Song Yun was the least he could do for an old friend!

Ouyang Rong shook his head, puzzled, "I'm not sure, Qi Shan seemed to attach great importance to that recipe, and even asked where Song Yun currently is..."

Ouyang Shu, furious, slapped his son on the head, "Are you stupid? You just answer other people's questions? What if Qi Shan thinks something's wrong with the recipe and it could endanger my health??? When the authorities start asking questions, won't everything be exposed about Song Yun???"

Regaining his wits, Ouyang Rong had an epiphany and hurriedly proposed to his father, "Then I'll take Song Yun and run, I'll personally escort them back to Magic Capital. You can handle the delaying tactics here!"

"You, you!!!"

Ouyang Shu sighed. Given the situation, this was the best outcome.

But who would have thought that just as they returned to the living room, a commotion erupted from outside.

Ouyang Rong took a careful look and realized, it's over!!!

Qi Shan rushed in with a group of private doctors, and the Ouyang Family's juniors didn't dare to stop them, only able to follow on from the sidelines.

"Brother Qi Shan, what happened?"

Ouyang Shu feigned ignorance and hastened to greet him, shaking hands and asking.

"Brother Ouyang!!!"

Qi Shan, his expression filled with urgency, hopped and shouted, "I have found our sect's elder!!! Where is Song Yun, where is Master Song!!!"

"Shh, shh, shh!"

Ouyang Shu frowned, first sending all the onlooking juniors away, then pulled Qi Shan aside, asking in confusion, "Are you sure Song Yun is an elder of your lineage? Doesn't sound likely, does it?"

"Why not! Do you know where the two recipes Ouyang Rong showed my disciple came from?" Qi Shan, unable to contain his joy, smiled and said, "They come from the 'Treatise on Injuries and Diseases' personally compiled by my master! But, unfortunately, there was a great fire later, and the rare book that housed countless cases and recipes burned down!"

"The remaining recipes were incomplete, but just now, when I compared the recipe to other medical books, I found an ingredient that perfectly filled the gap left by the fire!"

After hearing this, Ouyang Shu was astonished. He hadn't expected the young Song Yun to truly be a master of medicine, seeming to be a distinguished physician of renown!

Indeed, a chip off the old block!

But now wasn't the time to discuss this in front of everyone. He looked Qi Shan in the eye and said earnestly, "I will take you to see Song Yun, but you must promise me that you will not reveal any information about Song Yun, no matter what!"

"???"

Qi Shan was filled with question marks. Wouldn't one want to bring such a master into the limelight and let him be the object of widespread admiration? Why did the Ouyang Family want to monopolize him?

But faced with Ouyang Shu's expression that clearly said he wouldn't let him in unless he agreed, Qi Shan had no choice but to nod reluctantly.

Ouyang Shu signaled to Ouyang Rong with his eyes, indicating for his son to take the other private doctors to the front courtyard for a chat.

Ouyang Rong nodded slightly, then turned to the crowd with a smile and said, "Gentlemen, it seems that today is a significant day of kinship recognition for Qi Shan. At this time, we outsiders should not disturb their reunion, right?"

Although the other doctors felt it was strange, faced with the current head of the Ouyang Family, all that remained inside of them was compliance.

Ouyang Shu led Elder Qi into the small house and pointed to Song Yun, who was cleaning up after the meal, and said, "This is your elder."

"???"

Elder Qi looked at him with a 'you've got to be kidding me' expression. Song Yun appeared to be in his twenties. In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, even if you started learning from the womb, you couldn't just casually prescribe medicine to patients.

Moreover, on the way here, Elder Qi had already imagined what Song Yun would look like: dressed in a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner's attire, with a full head of snow-white hair, and eyes radiating wisdom and kindness, definitely over eighty years old...

But now, looking at him...

"Let me introduce you, this is the current master of Divine Doctor Hall, Qi Shan."

Ouyang Shu's introduction made Song Yun turn around. He nodded to himself looking at the elderly man before him. Although the elder did not exude as much pressure as Elder Ouyang, the strength of his bodily functions and the light in his eyes were much superior to Ouyang's.

"Hello, my name is Song Yun."

Song Yun's poised and confident demeanor left Elder Qi unsure of how to react. Just a second ago, he was told they were going to meet a senior of the sect, and the next moment, this young fellow appeared. How could he really perform the rites due a disciple to such a young person?

"Divine Doctor Hall... Qi Shan..."

Ye Qingqing's eyes widened in shock at the side. Elder Qi was a famous doctor in Hua Country, and someone countless people wanted to connect with—someone no less significant than Elder Ouyang. How did they come across such a figure?

Then, thinking of the prescription Song Yun had written for Elder Ouyang Shu, Ye Qingqing's heart fluttered in panic. Could anything serious go wrong???

"Young Friend Song, I would like to ask, where did the prescription you gave to Elder Ouyang come from?"

Elder Qi pursed his lips, screaming inside: Just say you saw it on the internet, or found it in some ancient book at a street stall, or even if you made it up, it would be fine!

"Oh..." Song Yun said indifferently, "I studied with an old master for a few years, but later he said he wanted to travel the mountains and rivers, and he left."

"!!!"

"What did this old master look like? About how old?"

Startled by Elder Qi's sudden excitement, Song Yun stepped back, looking puzzledly at Ouyang Shu who merely shrugged.

Damn it, the problem with lying is that you can't ask too many details; you end up having to spin more lies to keep up!

After a moment's thought, Song Yun began, "I met him on a rainy night ten years ago. The old master was probably over eighty years old, with snow-white beard, kindly eyes, standing alone in the rain in a robe. I gave him an umbrella, and the old master said I had a remarkable bone structure and was a good material for studying medicine.

He insisted on taking me as his disciple, so I learned some skills from him."

Song Yun could only think of how masters were portrayed in novels, so he blurted that out impulsively.

Who would have expected Elder Qi to become even more excited, grabbing onto the table, panting heavily, his greedy eyes fixed on Song Yun.

Song Yun stepped back again, thinking, I know I'm handsome, but you can't keep staring at me like this, right? Besides, you're an old man! It's time to settle down!

"Great-uncle master above! Please accept your great-nephew's bow!"

Elder Qi knelt stiffly on the ground and knocked his head on the floor three times.

This move startled everyone in the house, including Ouyang Shu, who had not expected Qi Shan to do such a thing.
