CHAPTER 1042: CHAPTER 1039: WORTHY OF HONOR

"Xiao Tian, you really kept us in the dark. Even Haoyu and I had no idea," Wang Wanxi glared at Lin Tian, pretending to be angry.

Lin Tian blinked innocently and said, "Back then, I made a promise with Mr. Yun to keep the treatment a secret for the time being and reveal it at the right moment. I couldn’t break my promise."

"Alright, it’s a great joy that Dad can recover. Xiao Tian deserves the most credit," Yun Haoyu said happily.

Yun Xiaotian gently tugged at Lin Tian’s clothes and said, "Lin Tian, thank you."

Lin Tian chuckled and joked, "If you were a girl, I might consider marrying you, but unfortunately, you’re just a man."

But he quickly realized and added, "No, that’s not right, even if you were a girl, you’re only sixteen. How could I think like that? What a sin, truly a sin," feigning a look of remorse.

Yun Xiaotian’s pretty face blushed instantly, which made Lin Tian click his tongue in wonder. This kid, so shy like a little girl, how will he take on the responsibility of Family Head in the future?

Unlike the harmonious atmosphere with Lin Tian, the faces of the three old men, Shen Yuankui and Qian Jin, weren’t so cheerful. They had been so arrogant because Yun Hongxi couldn’t make an appearance, but now that Yun Hongxi not only showed up but was walking in, the situation had changed.

Yun Hongxi standing up meant what? It meant the former Yun Family was back, Yun Hongxi’s influence had returned.

"Hahaha..." Mr. Ning’s hearty laughter echoed again, and he laughed to Yun Hongxi beside him, "Brother Hongxi, I told you, your appearance would surely scare these brats half to death, haha."

Only these old folks would dare to call a group of Family Heads brats.

Everyone finally reacted and stood up to greet them. Whether they could speak or not, businesspeople all paid respects to the two elder gentlemen, even though Qian Jin, Shen Liyan, and others were not pleased, they still accompanied it with forced smiles.

"Mr. Yun, long time no see, and what a delightful surprise it is," Shen Yuankui stood up, cupping his fist and smiling.

Mr. Yun returned the gesture, smiling, "Brother Shen, I apologize for the sudden visit."

"No need, no need, seeing you recover brings me nothing but joy," Shen Yuankui said with a laugh, and whether it was genuine joy, only he knew. Qian Wanguan and Zhao Xuehai also stepped forward to greet Yun Hongxi and Mr. Ning.

In the midst of praises, the two elder gentlemen took the main seats, while Shen Yuankui and the others naturally sat to the side, no longer daring to act superior.

As soon as they sat down, Li Wenrong came forward, paid his respects, and said, "Wenrong greets Mr. Yun and Mr. Ning, congratulations on Mr. Yun’s recovery."

"I only recently recovered myself and haven’t had time to inform everyone yet," Yun Hongxi said with a smile.

Li Wenrong’s eyes turned, probing, "May I ask, sir, I attended the last Famous Doctor Conference, and even with all the renowned doctors present, there was no solution. I wonder which reclusive high master treated you. Could you share, so we juniors can admire?"

"Indeed, Mr. Yun, you kept us well in the dark. Just who was this reclusive high master that succeeded where a group of renowned doctors could not? Surely this master’s medical skills are earth-shattering," Shen Yuankui asked.

Inside the hall, curiosity was not his alone. Everyone knew the elder’s legs had been afflicted for twenty years with no improvement, despite consulting all the famous doctors they could find. And then suddenly, he was healed. To them, it must have been due to a reclusive master that the Yun Family encountered.

All the businesspeople wanted to know about that famous master, hoping to at least meet such a person. The wealthier someone was, the more they feared death; knowing a renowned doctor seemed to offer them a greater sense of life security.

Mr. Yun gestured for everyone to calm down, and when they quieted, he said, "Not to hide from everyone, but the doctor who healed me is actually someone you all have met. He is present in this hall."

"Met? In this hall?" Everyone was taken aback.

In the hall, aside from the elder gentlemen, were mostly middle-aged men and young people. In their minds, someone with such extraordinary medical skills must be an aged reclusive master, but they found no such person in the hall.

Everyone glanced around, trying to find the reclusive master among the attendees, but despite searching, they found nothing.

Meanwhile, the ’reclusive master’ in their minds was quietly moving his chair back, trying to use Miss and others as a screen.

Lin Tian, the ’reclusive master’, was attempting to ’vanish’, at least to avoid attracting everyone’s attention, because he felt uneasy seeing the intense gazes of those businesspeople; they were more fanatical than idol fans, and Lin Tian felt he couldn’t handle it.

Mr. Yun, however, stood up at this moment, leaving his seat to walk toward Lin Tian’s table, and everyone’s eyes followed Yun Hongxi.

They guessed, could the reclusive master be from the Xiao Family? But they saw that Miss and the others were all young people, and shook their heads in denial; a reclusive master couldn’t possibly be so young.

"Huh, Miss, where did Lin Tian go? I just saw him," Mr. Yun asked curiously when he reached the table and didn’t see him.

Miss glanced behind the table and said, "Lin Tian, why are you hiding behind Xuanxuan?"

Xiao Manxuan was taken aback by the words, turned to look, and saw Lin Tian sitting behind her at some point, quite close. The little girl’s face turned red instantly. Seeing he couldn’t ’vanish’, Lin Tian had no choice but to stand up with a sheepish smile.

He smiled at Mr. Yun, "Hello, sir, did you want to see me for something?"

While speaking, he was frantically winking at Yun Hongxi, signaling not to mention it, but Mr. Yun acted as if he didn’t understand his winking and said, "Lin Tian, for healing my legs, I must thank you publicly. You deserve this honor."

Hearing the old man say this, Lin Tian knew there was no avoiding it. As expected, the businesspeople were stunned for a moment, and then, various looks of skepticism, amazement, and fervor converged on him.

"Mr. Yun, you’re saying the reclusive high master is Lin Tian?" Li Wenrong asked, his tone mixed with doubt and intrigue.

He voiced the question on everyone’s mind. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to believe Yun Hongxi’s words, it was just that Lin Tian was too young, not at all the image of a reclusive master.

Yun Hongxi, of course, understood their doubts. He nodded and affirmed, "You needn’t doubt; Lin Tian truly healed my legs. I, Yun Hongxi, would not make jokes about my legs."

"Wow..."

The hall erupted in a commotion, as if it had exploded. Everyone looked at Lin Tian as if he was a rare treasure, with eyes burning, even more fervent than idol fanatics.
