"Oh, you're here..."
Wan Yunting happily replied, immediately removing Qi Miaomiao's small hand and saying to Gu Luotang, "I'll ride in your grandfather's car. You guys should go back quickly too."
"Oh, right, Qiuyue, if you don't know the way, just follow Luo Tang and the others..."
Wan Yunting didn't forget to tell Dai Qiuyue, then his feet were like oiled, and he swiftly ran towards Gu Yuanbai and Jiang Yichun.
Qi Miaomiao rolled her eyes and stomped her feet in dissatisfaction, huffing, "Master is really something. She said she'd create opportunities for Senior Sister to interact with Yun Ting Ge, and now she's forgotten."
"Alright, Miaomiao."
Gu Luotang quickly pulled Qi Miaomiao along. She glanced at Dai Qiuyue in the car, then watched Wan Yunting get into her grandfather's car. "Perhaps Grandpa really has something to talk to him about."
Qi Miaomiao gave her a sideways glance and could only shake her head helplessly, too lazy to talk about her love-struck, foolish senior sister.
Dai Qiuyue's expression was blank. She then drove off, turning around without any intention of going to Gu Yuanbai's house.
"Hey, aren't you coming with us..."
Qi Miaomiao called out, but Dai Qiuyue completely ignored her and drove away.
"Senior Sister, what do you think Dai Qiuyue means by this?"
Watching Dai Qiuyue's departing car, Qi Miaomiao scoffed disdainfully, "Who is she putting on that sour face for? Really, it's like we owe her money."
"Alright, Miaomiao, we're not familiar with her. If she doesn't want to come, so be it," Gu Luotang said with a gentle smile.
"Senior Sister, can't you see Dai Qiuyue's little thoughts?" Qi Miaomiao grabbed Gu Luotang and got into their car, driving home with everyone else.
"This Dai Qiuyue is clearly pursuing Yun Ting Ge. Aren't you worried?" Qi Miaomiao, who was driving, turned her head and glanced at Gu Luotang sitting in the passenger seat, saying.
"What am I worried about?"
Gu Luotang gave her a sideways glance and smiled gently, "Maybe you're overthinking it."
"Fine, fine, I won't say anything more."
Qi Miaomiao was completely speechless and waved her hand, saying, "Anyway, if you continue like this, you'll definitely not be able to pursue Yun Ting Ge..."
"What are you talking about?"
Gu Luotang turned her head and glanced at Qi Miaomiao, but inwardly she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. She also understood that she wasn't brave enough and didn't know how to express her feelings to Wan Yunting.
Qi Miaomiao, driving, glanced at her and shook her head, not knowing what to say to this silly senior sister...
At this time, Wan Yunting, driving, was heading back to Gu Yuanbai's house, with Jiang Yichun and Gu Yuanbai sitting in the back. With only the three of them in the car, Gu Yuanbai could no longer hold back and asked, "Xiao Wan, are you truly Mr. Sun's disciple?"
Wan Yunting paused, then looked up through the rearview mirror at Gu Yuanbai behind him, knowing that Jiang Yichun had already told him. "Yes."
"I knew it."
Receiving the accurate confirmation, Gu Yuanbai excitedly slapped his thigh and pointed at Wan Yunting, saying excitedly, "The first time I saw you, when you were using acupuncture on those patients having epileptic seizures, I recognized you were using the Thirteen Needles of Guimen, but I still couldn't believe it, as Mr. Sun had been missing for decades."
"Haha, but I didn't expect you to truly have a connection with Mr. Sun. Xiao Wan, quickly tell me, where is Mr. Sun now? Can you take me to see him?"
Seeing Gu Yuanbai so excited, Wan Yunting felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.
Previously, from his master, the Ghost Hand Medical Sage, he had learned that when his master came to Hua Du back then, Gu Yuanbai, who had just graduated from the capital, had some interactions with Gongsun Xiuliang!
It was precisely because of this that Wan Yunting felt at ease telling Gu Yuanbai his identity.
"Old Gu, Mr. Gongsun is gone!" Jiang Yichun said with a sigh beside him.
"Gone?"
Gu Yuanbai's old face stiffened, and he turned to look at Jiang Yichun, "What do you mean?"
"My master has already passed away!" Wan Yunting said with a heavy tone.
"What..."
This time, Gu Yuanbai's old eyes widened, and he looked at Wan Yunting, who was driving, in disbelief. He asked emotionally, "When did this happen?"
Wan Yunting sighed, "The day after I returned from abroad, my master passed away in Hua Du Prison."
Gu Yuanbai's old face froze, and for a moment, he became completely dazed.
Jiang Yichun said, "Xiao Wan told me that ever since Mr. Gongsun suddenly disappeared back then, he had been in the prison in Hua Du City until now, alas..."
Wan Yunting said, "My master is buried in the cemetery outside the city, with my parents..."
After a long time, Gu Yuanbai, having recovered, showed a pained expression, still unable to believe it. "How is that possible? Why did Mr. Gongsun hide in Hua Du Prison from the world? What happened back then? Xiao Wan, do you know?"
Seeing Gu Yuanbai's agitated state, Wan Yunting sighed slightly, "Old Gu, there are some things I cannot tell you for now. I hope you can understand!"
Gu Yuanbai's old eyes widened and he directly asked, "Is it because of the Sima family?"
"Old Gu."
Suddenly, Jiang Yichun tugged at Gu Yuanbai's arm, interrupting him. "Since Xiao Wan isn't saying, he must have his reasons. Let's not ask too much."
"Old Jiang, you don't understand..."
However, Gu Yuanbai waved his hand, emotionally agitated, and said, "Mr. Gongsun showed me great kindness back then. When I returned from the capital after graduation, if it weren't for Mr. Gongsun, perhaps I wouldn't be where I am today. So you don't understand my feelings for Mr. Gongsun!"
Wan Yunting, driving, and Jiang Yichun, sitting in the back, sighed helplessly. After all, they didn't know how much Gu Yuanbai admired Gongsun Xiuliang back then, and had even wanted to become his disciple. However, for some reason, Gongsun Xiuliang at that time had not accepted him as a student.
But he had taught Gu Yuanbai a lot, and therefore, he had always regarded Gongsun Xiuliang as his teacher.
"Xiao Wan, even if you don't say it, I know that Mr. Gongsun's sudden disappearance back then must have been related to the Sima family!" Gu Yuanbai glared with his old eyes and said through gritted teeth to Wan Yunting, who was driving, "The Sima family must give an explanation!"
Wan Yunting stopped the car at a traffic light. Gu Yuanbai, turning his head, said sternly, "Old Gu, I won't hide it from you either. Everything I'm doing now is to fulfill my master's dying wish and seek justice for him!"
Gu Yuanbai nodded, patted the back of his chair, and said, "Xiao Wan, I will help you, no matter the cost. I must seek justice for Mr. Gongsun."
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, "Old Gu, thank you."
"Alas."
Gu Yuanbai then sighed, waved his hand, and said, "I only regret not being able to see Mr. Gongsun one last time. Xiao Wan, take us to see Mr. Gongsun now."
Wan Yunting paused. Jiang Yichun said, "Old Gu, it's not appropriate now. Let's visit Mr. Gongsun tomorrow."
Everyone was heading to his house for a dinner banquet. He couldn't possibly drag Wan Yunting now and go to the cemetery outside the city late at night to pay respects to Gongsun Xiuliang.
"Old Gu, I'll take you tomorrow," Wan Yunting said with a smile.
"Alas, alright."
Gu Yuanbai could only do so, sitting silently and grieving in his heart. Thinking of his brief encounter with Mr. Gongsun back then, and his insights into traditional Chinese medicine and his spirit of going all out, made Gu Yuanbai's old eyes well up with tears...
Jiang Yichun sighed helplessly. He was young back then and naturally hadn't interacted with Gongsun Xiuliang, but he also knew the deep gratitude Gu Yuanbai felt for Mr. Gongsun...
Wan Yunting continued driving and soon returned to the Gu Mansion.
Song Chengqi and Ding Huixiang, Wei Datong and Zhang Fenglin, Shen Tong and Meng Kang, and other elders of the Lingnan Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, as well as its members...
At the same time, Song Sinan and Wei Renxin, Zhang Xiaoyu and He Yan, Huang Jingshan and Shen Yingrui, Ding Zipeng and Miao Yanzheng, and other young talents also came with their elders.
Then, Wan Yunting slowly stopped the car. Gu Yuanbai and Jiang Yichun immediately got out and smiled at everyone, "Are you all hungry? I've asked someone to prepare food. Everyone, please come in."
"Chairman Gu, please go ahead..."
Meng Kang and others politely let Gu Yuanbai and Jiang Yichun in first, and then followed.
Shen Yingrui and Ding Zipeng looked at Wan Yunting and smiled, "Vice Chairman Wan, you have to have a few drinks with us tonight."
"Yes, you definitely can't escape the drinking," Miao Yanzheng and Lu Xinjue said with a smirk.
Wan Yunting nodded and laughed heartily, "We won't go home until we're drunk tonight!"
"Good, that's straightforward."
Huang Jingshan, a straightforward person, pointed at Wan Yunting and laughed, "Although I can't beat you in a medical duel, when it comes to drinking, I must get you drunk tonight."
"Alright, I'll see you to the end." Wan Yunting said with a smile.
"Haha, let's go..."
Ding Zipeng and Shen Yingrui, along with other youths, laughed heartily, all shouting that they would get Wan Yunting drunk tonight.
This also made Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao, Zhang Xiaoyu and He Yan, and other beautiful women, who were following behind, giggle endlessly...
Gu Yuanbai and Jiang Yichun, Song Chengqi, and others watched Wan Yunting and Huang Jingshan, Shen Yingrui, and the younger generation interacting harmoniously, which put the elders at ease.
