544: Chapter 544: The Arrival of a VIP!

Zhou Yu arrived at Bencao Tang to find Old Li engrossed in studying prescriptions from a worn ancient text.

Seeing Zhou Yu’s arrival, he was initially surprised, and then immediately showed a delighted expression.

“Zhou Yu, how come you suddenly appeared out of nowhere?”

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you.”

Zhou Yu chuckled.

“Old Li, I’ve been out of town for a while and didn’t have time to come back.

I just got back yesterday.”

“You were in the provincial city, right?

I heard about your doings there.”

“Truly awe-inspiring,” Old Li exclaimed.

Zhou Yu gave a wry smile.

“Old Li, please stop making fun of me.”

“By the way, where’s Shuangshuang?”

Old Li shook his head.

“That girl is still asleep.

During the holidays, she doesn’t wake up until midday.”

“However, if she knew you were back, she would definitely be thrilled.

Why don’t you go upstairs and wake her up?”

“…”

Zhou Yu was speechless.

This old man really does things on a grand scale.

He’s actually suggesting I barge into his granddaughter’s bedroom.

Zhou Yu quickly waved his hands.

“Old Li, I came to see you because I have an issue.

There might be a patient coming over soon, and we might need to use your place.”

Li De’an chuckled and said,

“Your patient, huh?

That’s great.”

“It seems today I will get a good chance to appreciate your medical skills again.”

“Is there anything we need to prepare?

I’ll have someone take care of it right away.”

Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled.

“No need.

I haven’t even met that patient yet.

We’ll see when they arrive.”

As the two of them were talking, Shuangshuang suddenly emerged, looking sleepy.

“Grandpa, I’m hungry…”

“Eh?”

“Zhou Yu?

When did you get back?”

Just as Shuangshuang was speaking, she suddenly spotted Zhou Yu, immediately perking up and ran excitedly over to him, standing by his side with no signs of estrangement or inhibition.

Zhou Yu had seen plenty of beautiful women before, but only Shuangshuang truly made him feel comfortable and genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart.

“I got back yesterday.”

Shuangshuang, clinging to Zhou Yu’s arm, said,

“It’s good that you’re back.

You have no idea, Grandpa has been talking about you every day, and I was starting to get sick of it.”

Li De’an laughed and said,

“Really?”

“I remember it was a certain silly girl who kept running to me asking where Zhou Yu had gone.”

“Grandpa!”

Shuangshuang’s face instantly turned red, and she stamped her foot.

“Hahaha…okay, okay, I’ll stop,” Li De’an laughed heartily.

Zhou Yu smiled.

“Recently, things have been really busy in the provincial city, out of my control.”

Shuangshuang humphed.

“What?

You’ve been too busy even to make a phone call?”

Zhou Yu scratched his head, finding this question rather difficult to answer.

“Alright, Shuangshuang, Zhou Yu has been dealing with big matters in the provincial city; it’s no joke.”

“He didn’t call you, probably for your safety.”

Li De’an intervened.

Shuangshuang looked skeptically at Zhou Yu.

“Is that so?”

Zhou Yu hurriedly nodded.

“Yes, yes.”

“Alright then, I’ll forgive you this time.”

Shuangshuang patted Zhou Yu’s shoulder generously.

Time flew by quickly, and soon it was nearing noon.

More patients began arriving at Bencao Tang, with Li De’an personally treating them and Shuangshuang assisting.

Although it was a ward, it felt peaceful and serene.

Just then, a black Hongqi car slowly pulled up outside the main gate of Bencao Tang.

Two young men with crew cuts alighted from the car.

The men, dressed in Zhongshan suits, had determined eyes and upright postures.

Their presence was understated yet profound, giving off an unfathomable vibe.

The moment these two men entered, Zhou Yu noticed them.

A look of surprise flickered across his eyes.

These two men should be around thirty years old, and already they were masters of the Innate realm.

Moreover, their vital energy was robust, clearly indicating they had achieved their skills through genuine, incremental training, not artificially boosted by Spiritual Medicine.

Such young Innate masters were indeed rare to see.

Under Zhou Yu’s astonished gaze, the two quickly walked up to Li De’an and politely inquired,

“Hello, are you Li De’an, the Divine Doctor?”

Li De’an was in the middle of a consultation.

He paused for a moment then looked up and answered,

“Yes, I am.”

“Divine Doctor, may we ask to end today’s consultations here?

We will take responsibility for managing the patients in queue.

We need to use this space.”

The speaker’s tone was calm, decisive, and confident, clearly not an ordinary individual.

Li De’an was about to refuse but then suddenly remembered the important visitor Zhou Yu had mentioned.

He turned his head to look at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu slightly nodded.

Li De’an immediately understood and nodded in response,

“Alright.”

He then stood up and explained the situation to the waiting patients.

Most of his patients were regulars, and they cooperated well, all leaving the premises.

Once all the patients had left, the two young men respectfully said to Li De’an,

“Thank you, Old Li.”

After speaking, they stepped out and stood at the door, straight as statues, like ceremonial guards.

“Grandpa, who are they?”

Shuangshuang asked curiously.

Li De’an shook his head; he didn’t know who they were but looked curiously outside.

Though Bencao Tang was in a suburban area, it was usually bustling during this time.

However, since the arrival of the two men, the traffic and pedestrians gradually began to diminish.

Within less than ten minutes, the surroundings were completely quiet.

Looking through the window, Li De’an and Shuangshuang saw several young men in Zhongshan suits moving around the street.

Even without understanding martial arts, Li De’an could tell that these men were all skilled.

He was inwardly shocked; such an aura was something he had never seen before.

At that moment, three Hongqi sedans drove in from afar and pulled directly into Bencao Tang; following that, the car doors opened.

The Saint Physician stepped out first from one of the cars, and then he went to another car door and personally opened it.
