Chapter 38: She Was Not Such a Shallow Person

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The shopkeeper did not let the old man guess. He smiled and said, “You would not have guessed that she was a descendant of the Gongyu family. We have not heard from them for so many years.” Only then did the old man move his gaze away from the book in surprise.

“Master Gongyu had a daughter when he was close to forty years old. He has always doted on her. I have seen her a few times. Are you talking about his daughter?”

The shopkeeper shook his head. “It’s a young man and a seven or eight-year-old girl. They address Master Gongyu as their grandfather. Those two children should be the grandchildren of the Gongyu family. However, I heard from those two children that Master Gongyu had passed away. That old man’s medical skills are amazing. I didn’t expect him to pass away so soon, and it is a great loss for the medical world.”

The old man did not care about the children, but he was stunned when he heard that Gongyu Jin had passed away. The old man was about the same age as Gongyu Jin, four or five years younger than Gongyu Jin. However, Gongyu Jin’s medical skills were slightly better than his. 

Back in the Imperial Hospital, Gongyu Jin was still his superior. He felt that Gongyu Jin’s medical skills were not bad, his character was upright, and he had given him a lot of guidance. In terms of medical skills, he had also given him a lot of advice, and the two of them had a bit of a teacher-student relationship. Back in the Imperial Hospital, he had addressed Gongyu Jin as Master instead of Your Excellency.

He was sixty-five years old this year, and if Gongyu Jin were still alive, he would only be seventy years old. For doctors, many people had lived to seventy years old.

He had never thought that after not seeing Gongyu Jin for several years, he would hear the news that Gongyu Jin had passed away. He could not help but sigh. The older he was, the fewer old friends he had. Now that he lived in a small town, old friends were even rarer to see. The shopkeeper then mentioned that the two children wanted to sell Gongyu’s heirloom medical books.

The old man’s face was filled with anger, and he could not help but curse them, “What a prodigal! The Gongyu family has been famous in the medical world for hundreds of years. They did not think about the past ancestor who did not have any good night’s sleep to write out the medical book. They even wanted to sell their heirloom for money. Even if they encountered difficulties, why must they sell the heirloom to an outsider? They couldn’t think of anything else to get money from?”

The shopkeeper quickly stopped and said, “You have misunderstood. From its looks, they do not seem to be short of money. They were originally here to sell medicinal herbs. That medicinal herb’s processing level is extremely high and top-quality. It is not inferior to the medicinal herbs that you processed.”

The old man was surprised. “Since that is the case, the Gongyu family should have someone who studies medicine and can concoct top-grade medicinal herbs. They should not be short of silver. Why are they selling medical books?”

The shopkeeper then told him what the young man had said about the inheritance of medicine.

The old man was first surprised, then he clapped his hands and sighed. “They are indeed worthy of being the descendants of Master Gongyu. Their generosity is truly rare. Who can do that now in the medical world? We are all proud of our medical skills, but we are inferior to that young man.”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, “Then you have misunderstood. That young man did not say these words. The young man said that his sister had said these words. According to him, his sister’s medical skills were not inferior to Master Gongyu. I also know that you and Master Gongyu were officials in the same dynasty and heard you mentioned it once. Master Gongyu is an old friend of yours, so I came to tell you.”

Since Gongyu Hao was a young man, he was certainly not old, and his sister must be even younger. It was hard for the old man to believe that her medical skills could not match Master Gongyu’s, so he could not help but ask, “How old is the young man?”

He thought about the age of Gongyu Jin’s daughter. The young man must be at most about ten years old.

The shopkeeper replied, “He is about twelve or thirteen years old. His appearance is outstanding. I’ve lived for dozens of years and have seen many people, but in terms of looks, I’ve never seen anyone so handsome. Although his clothes are a little ordinary, his bearing is perfect. His family has taught him well. 

“As for how old his sister is, I’m not in a position to ask. But I don’t think that young man is the kind of person who talks big. There are always some geniuses in this world. Perhaps this little girl’s medical skills are outstanding. That young man said that in the future, if there were any medicinal herbs sent to our clinic, you would be able to see them. When he comes back later, I’ll come and inform you, and you will be seeing them again.”

The old man glared at him. “If you knew to come and tell me now, why didn’t you call me at that time?”

He did not expect that the descendants of the Gongyu family would appear in Linjiang County. The Gongyu family was not a member of the Qingze Prefecture but a member of the Xingzhou Prefecture, a neighboring prefecture to the south. He also did not know when Master Gongyu passed away. If he were to be buried in Linjiang County, he would have to pay his respects like an old friend.

Back then, Master Gongyu was a straightforward person and did not want to get involved in the Imperial family’s harem fight. However, his medical skills were also one of the best in the Imperial Academy of Medicine. He was also the head of the Imperial Academy, so he was inevitably implicated. In the end, he had no choice but to resign his post to protect himself.

At that time, to prevent those close to him from being implicated, he did not say goodbye to anyone before he left. He did not even have time to deal with the houses in the capital before he directly left the Capital and returned to his hometown.

Later on, he had been cut off from contact. It was not that he did not ask around about Master Gongyu over these years. It was just that the empire’s territory was too big, and he had not heard from Master Gongyu. Today, he heard that his old friend had passed away. The old man could not help but feel sad.

When the shopkeeper saw this, he quickly comforted him, “At that time, I thought that the young man would come again in the future, and I did not know if you wanted to see him, so how could I dare to speak for you? You do not have to feel sad for Master Gongyu. If Master Gongyu has passed down to the little girl his inheritance and learned his medical skills, then you should be happy too, old man.”

The old man sighed. He urged, “When you see him in the future, make sure he stays. I have something to ask him. Master Gongyu is like a teacher to me. It’s fine if you don’t know, but since you know, you should go and pay your respects to him. If his descendants don’t have a good life, I will take care of them within my abilities.” The shopkeeper agreed.

Only then did the old man remember about the medicinal herbs. He also wanted to see how good the descendants of the Gongyu family were, so he followed the shopkeeper to check on the medicinal herbs.

Yan Qixun did not know that after they left the clinic, the shopkeeper praised her brother Gongyu Hao’s look as a rarely seen handsome. Even though she thinks of herself as a hardcore fan, it seems like it is not that hardcore.

Generally speaking, brainless fans are mostly shallow as they only focus on the good looks. Otherwise, they would not be brainless. But Yan Qixun was a hardcore fan of her brother, and she is not shallow because she did not focus on his appearance.

She was a fan of Gongyu Hao’s unruly behavior. It was him that dared to pierce through the sky and never submit. It was her brother’s braveheart that would strike at any injustice.

In addition, after watching for eight years, she was numb towards his looks had long been affected. Therefore, although Gongyu Hao’s features were as exquisite as a painting, only little sister Yan Lingyu could be compared to him out of the five siblings. She had never paid attention to her brother the Monkey King’s appearance.

However, almost everyone on the street had their eyes fixed on her brother for a few seconds. Among them, the young women stayed the longest. Moreover, the young woman, the old one, and the children stared at Gongyu Hao. There were even two young ladies who had tripped and banged against the wall because they were looking at him.

On the Monkey Kings’s journey to the west, many people had gathered around and called him a demon because of his monkey face. As such, they were used to the gazes of others as if they were invisible. They were very calm and did not feel uncomfortable at all. However, Yan Qixun’s felt differently. It was the first time she realized her brother’s astonishing beauty..
