Chapter 707: Chapter 0707: The Reason for Accepting a Disciple 4_1

As he said this, Father Lu and Feng Qingxue exchanged glances, instantly understanding each other’s thoughts.

Bai Xue relies on the Su Family for support, her situation further complicated by her relationships with Captain Bai and Su Junshu. They didn’t want to harm the Su family, as this would threaten their own safety, but their side was different. For them, Su Junshu, who was surreptitiously coveting Wang Xinsheng, was a huge enemy. They naturally wanted to smother the enemy’s plan before it took any shape.

Power struggles are inherently quiet and bloodless. Often, it’s a case of kill or be killed. If you don’t want to die, of course, you have to severely wound the other party. It’s not about being ruthless or not—it’s reality.

Feng Qingxue cleared her throat, "We should leave this matter to Uncle."

They were just small fry, they didn’t need to get their hands dirty.

Besides, she did not know who Su Junshu was, having never met him.

Father Lu also chuckled, "Yes, let your Aunt and Uncle handle it themselves. We’ve already given them a big enough hint, we can’t take everything upon ourselves, can we? As for me, I’m just an old farmer from the countryside, content with tending to my grandchildren and raising cattle."

Wang Fengqiao came in and heard the last sentence, "Brother Lu, you’re going back? If you go back, who will take care of Xibao? Xibao is so naughty and always wants to go out and play. Didn’t we agree before that when my brother goes back, you and I will stay behind? You’ll take care of Xibao and I’ll take care of Lady Xiaoxue. When Xiaoxue returns to the army, you can go home, and I’ll escort Xiaoxue to her unit."

Feng Qingxue hurriedly said: "Dad didn’t say he was going back, he was just talking about his main responsibilities now. I was asking about Guan Cheng. How did Guan Cheng get the chance to become a disciple of Mr. Li Huaili? Everyone says I have talent, but Doctor Wu didn’t take me as his apprentice."

Father Lu was startled, "What? Haven’t I told you about this?"

"No, Dad, you never mentioned it." replied Feng Qingxue.

Patting his head, Father Lu hurriedly said: "Mr. Li Huaili used to be the family doctor for Tianjun’s maternal grandfather’s family. The Guan Family would send generous gifts every month to help support his family and also solved many problems for the Li Family. Although the Guan Family has declined now, Li Huaili is still deeply grateful to them. After recognizing Guan Cheng, he immediately took him as his disciple, wanting to use his personal influence to protect Guan Cheng. Of course, Guan Cheng does have talent, but becoming an apprentice and being talented are unrelated, and there are certainly others who are more talented than him."

Feng Qingxue finally understood and her doubts were dissolved. She thought it rather abrupt when Mr. Li Huaili took Guan Cheng as his disciple and was even willing to introduce his daughter to Wanglou Brigade to practice medicine. So this was the reason.

"The house with good deeds will always be blessed, Brother Lu!" exclaimed Wang Fengqiao.

And wasn’t it the same for the Lu Family?

Although it was said that the Guan brothers were orphans saved by the Lu family, Wang Fengqiao did not believe it. Why didn’t they adopt other pitiful children like Jiang He and Erya? Bearing the Guan surname, and with Guan Yu so similar to Lu Tianzhi, they must certainly have a deep blood relationship with Lu. Since Lu Tianzhi resembles his mother, Guan Cheng and Guan Yu are definitely the children of the Guan Family. There were others who saw through this too, but everyone owed a lot to the Lu family. They felt sympathy for the Guan Family, a scholarly family, reduced to having the last two children rely on relatives for survival, so they let it go.

Father Lu, hearing Wang Fengqiao’s words, gave a faint smile, "All one has to do in life is to have a clear conscience."

...It’s the eighth Chapter now, I need votes. I was supposed to go out, but it’s pouring rain, so I had to cancel. I have to brave through the rain to the convenience store to see what I can get to eat. I’ve run out of food.
