Chapter 207: Chapter 207 Senior Brother

Although Chu Feng agreed to join Dragon Soaring, it was just as Chu Feng said.

Chu Feng only joined, but no one came looking for him. It was as if Zhuang Xinyan had completely forgotten that Chu Feng was the vice president.

Time passed day by day, and before long it was Thursday.

Just as Chu Feng was thinking about the charity gala on Friday, the telephone rang.

Seeing the call, Chu Feng picked up and said, "Brother He, do you need me for something?"

He Zhen said, "Little Friend Chu, an old buddy of mine has come by. He brought two bottles of fine wine. If you’re free this afternoon, why don’t you join us two old men for a couple of drinks?"

Chu Feng said, "I’d be delighted, I’ll go buy a couple of dishes later."

He Zhen said, "No need. I’ve asked your Sister-in-Law to stir-fry a few dishes at home."

Chu Feng chuckled, "Then today I can only bring a mouth with me."

He Zhen said, "Just bring your mouth along today, that’s all."

After a pause, He Zhen spoke in a lower voice, "When you come over, besides bringing a mouth, help me give my old friend a good lesson. This old man has been competing with me for a lifetime, and you don’t need to show him any respect after you get here."

Chu Feng heard He Zhen’s words and felt somewhat amused and exasperated, "Brother, do you think I could really bring myself to lay hands on an elder?"

He Zhen said, "You misunderstand, I’m not asking you to hit him. He’s a doctor who’s spent his life believing his Medical Skills are unmatched. He treated me for a long time with no effect. But you healed me with just one treatment. After you arrive, undercut him on Medical Skills."

After hearing all this, Chu Feng was even more speechless. It’s true what they say, the older some people get, the younger they behave.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Feng bought two chilled watermelons at the school and carried them to He Zhen’s home.

Chu Feng arrived at He Zhen’s house, and He Zhen personally came out to welcome him.

"Little brother, remember what I told you? I’ve been telling him that your Medical Skills are ten times better than his," He Zhen whispered to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng replied with an awkward expression, "I’ll do my best."

Once Chu Feng and He Zhen entered the room, they saw an elderly man with a full head of silver hair but looking very spirited sitting in the living room.

From the old man’s posture, one could tell that he also came from a military background.

"Old Man, my lifesaver has arrived. Take a good look," He Zhen yelled at the elderly man in the living room.

"Junior Chu Feng pays respect to the elder!" Chu Feng knew that reputable traditional physicians put a strong emphasis on the inheritance of skills over time and also held Etiquette in high regard. Of course, all these were things Zhang Shisan had taught Chu Feng.

Seeing Chu Feng address him with ancient formalities, the old man’s eyes brightened, "Young man, I hear from Old Man He that you were the one who cured his ailment?"

Chu Feng inwardly sighed but nevertheless replied, "Yes. I’ve learned a bit of Medical Skills from my Master."

The old man frowned upon hearing Chu Feng’s words and said, "Curing Old Man He’s condition isn’t as simple as having learned ’a bit’ of Medical Skills. Although young people should be modest, they shouldn’t be insincere."

Chu Feng quickly responded, "You’re absolutely right, elder. I’ll take the lesson to heart."

"Look here, Old Man, Little Friend Chu’s Medical Skills are much more advanced than yours. Don’t always act so preachy. With Little Friend Chu’s skills, he would be more than qualified to be your teacher," He Zhen said, as Chu Feng seemed at a disadvantage.

The old man replied, "Medical prowess is not something you can just talk about. It needs to be proven by comparison. Just have the thing you promised me ready."

Hearing the old man’s words, Chu Feng was somewhat confused.

Elder He saw Chu Feng looking at him and explained, "This Old Man didn’t trust your medical skill, so I accepted the challenge on your behalf to compete with him. Brother, I’ve put all my bets on you. If you lose, it will be a huge loss for me."

Chu Feng didn’t expect that Elder He had accepted a challenge on his behalf and was quite bemused.

Still, he said, "I’ll try my best."

"All right, I’ll pose the question, and you answer. I only have one question, and if you answer it correctly, I’ll admit my loss," the elder stated after Elder He finished explaining things to Chu Feng.

"Please ask your question, Senior," Chu Feng said respectfully.

"What is the most basic and fundamental aspect of traditional Chinese medicine?"

Such a question, if asked to any practitioner of Chinese medicine, would certainly garner answers like inspection, listening and smelling, interrogation, palpation—the basic theories of Chinese medicine.

However, what Zhang Shisan taught Chu Feng was different.

Chu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "The foundation of Chinese medicine is Yin Yang. Whether it is the human body or all things in Heaven and Earth, it all boils down to Yin Yang. Illness in humans is, in fact, just a disharmony between Yin and Yang. As long as one can correctly ascertain whether the disease stems from an imbalance of Yin or Yang, one can prescribe the right remedy..."

Chu Feng spoke eloquently, and the elder’s eyes sparkled as he listened.

After Chu Feng finished, the elder excitedly grabbed Chu Feng’s hand and asked, "Young man, who is your master? Where is he now?"

Chu Feng looked at the excited elder and replied, "I’m sorry, but without my master’s permission, I can’t casually disclose his name."

The elder asked, "Young man, is your master’s surname Zhang?"

Chu Feng, hearing the elder’s words, also asked, "Senior, how do you know?"

The elder hastily said, "Don’t call me Senior anymore. My surname is Gu, and my given name is just Zhong. You can either call me by my name, or you can call me Senior Brother, that’s fine too."

"Senior Brother?" Chu Feng was initially taken aback but then suddenly seemed to realize something and asked, "Senior Brother, are you the Senior Brother Gu that Master mentioned?"

Gu Zhong, upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, showed an excited look on his face and said, "Yes. I am the unworthy disciple of our master."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng quickly performed a polite salute and said, "Disciple Chu Feng pays his respects to Senior Brother."

Watching from the side, Elder He was somewhat confused and asked, "Old Man, what’s going on? How did you become Senior Brother to Little Friend Chu?"

Gu Zhong, with a gratified expression, explained, "I should have known that in this world, aside from Master’s medical skill that could cure you, who else could?"

The more Gu Zhong said, the more confused Elder He became.

Chu Feng said, "Brother He, let me explain. Master has told me some things about Senior Brother Gu."

Immediately, Chu Feng shared what he knew about Gu Zhong with Brother He.

After Chu Feng finished, Gu Zhong was moved to tears and said, "I never expected Master to still remember his unfilial disciple."

Chu Feng said, "Senior Brother Gu, Master said he has never blamed you. He didn’t want you to leave back then because he was worried you didn’t know martial arts and might get hurt. Later, when Master heard of your deeds, he was very proud. Master always said, among all his disciples before me, only Senior Brother Gu truly deserves to be called Master’s first disciple."

Hearing Chu Feng’s words, Gu Zhong was stirred and asked, "Did Master really say that?"

Chu Feng nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Brother."

"So where is Master now?"

However, just as Chu Feng was about to answer, his phone started to ring insistently.
