"Eh! Master Xiao" Just as Xiao Yu and his group finished their registration at the entrance of their building and were about to head upstairs, a voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
Upon hearing this voice, both Xiao Yu and Yun Xi turned around. Not far behind them stood two middle-aged men in their fifties and a woman in her thirties!
"Indeed it is Master Xiao! Haha, to bump into Master Xiao here in a foreign land is truly karmic!" As soon as Xiao Yu and his group turned around, one of the middle-aged men—wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking rather amiable—extended his hand and walked towards Xiao Yu with laughter.
"May I ask who you are" Seeing this man extending his hand, Xiao Yu also extended his, lightly shook it, and asked with a hint of confusion on his face.
"Hehe, Master Xiao, you might not remember me. My name is Zhou Keji; I'm a doctor at the Beijing Hospital! Mr. Tang... " Seeing the look of confusion on Xiao Yu's face, this man in his fifties chuckled and explained, but quickly stopped when he was about to mention Mr. Tang, since discussing deceased national founding figures wasn't something they should casually talk about.
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Yu immediately understood; this person might be a doctor from Mr. Tang's place whom he had met once before.
Although the two men had only met once and Xiao Yu didn't recognize him, seeing him in a foreign land was still quite親切。平時的蕭煜可能不會表現得這麼熱情，畢竟他性格有些內斂，但這些天和雲溪相處下來，他已經把鐘馗對他的影響拋諸腦後，露出了一個二十多歲年輕人應有的活力。
"Doctor Zhou, nice to meet you. I didn't expect to run into you here in a foreign land; it's really karmic!" Upon hearing the doctor introduce himself, Xiao Yu quickly greeted him.
"Hehe, Master Xiao, this is my colleague Zhao Wenge, and this is Li Jing; we're all colleagues from Beijing Hospital," Zhou Keji introduced his two companions to Xiao Yu as soon as he heard Xiao Yu's words. After hearing the introduction, Xiao Yu shook hands with each of them.
"This is my wife Yunxi, newly married. We're here for a holiday!" After Zhou Kechi introduced them, Xiao Yu introduced Yunxi to him.
After hearing Xiao Yu's introduction, Zhou Kechi warmly greeted Yunxi. Compared with his enthusiasm, the other two were much colder in their reception.
"Master Xiao, have both of you had your meals If not, why don't we eat together" After greeting them, Zhou Kechi looked at Xiao Yu hopefully and asked.
"Haha, no, we will freshen up first. We'll be down later!" Xiao Yu smiled lightly at Zhou Kechi as he replied.
"Good, good. Then I'll wait for Master Xiao here!" Upon hearing what Xiao Yu said, Zhou Kechi's eyes lit up and he quickly answered.
Although Zhou Kechi had only met Xiao Yu once before, he knew about his miraculous abilities from the incident with Old Taigong. A man who was sure to die managed to survive for three days like a normal person solely due to several gold needles inserted by this young man in front of him. This could be called nothing short of a miracle.
This skill would easily warrant a Nobel Prize, but because it involved the Tang family, it became top-secret documentation, and they were also under gag orders. Apart from members of the Tang family and Old Taigong's attending physician, no one else knew about this incident.
After saying that, Xiao Yu led them up to the second floor to return to their room.
"Old Zhou, who is this young man" Seeing Xiao Yu go upstairs, Zhao Wenge looked at Zhou Kechi in confusion and asked.
Zhou Kechi's behavior was quite strange just now. They were after all experts and professors, working in the Beijing Hospital where they usually dealt with national leaders. Now, Zhou Kechi showed such enthusiasm towards a young man, which left them very puzzled.
When Li Jing heard Zhao Wenge's question, she also looked at Zhou Kechi. Given Zhou Kechi's medical skills and his haughty nature, the courteous way he treated this young man naturally piqued her curiosity as well.
It was worth noting that although Zhou Kechi wasn't very old, his medical skills were renowned in Beijing Hospital. Seeing how enthusiastically and with a hint of reverence he greeted this young man now left them all quite puzzled.
"Haha, Old Zhao, this Master Xiao is not simple. Do you remember the young miracle doctor at the last medical exchange conference It was him!" Upon hearing Zhao Wenge's question, Zhoukekui chuckled and told them.
Although he couldn't talk about the matter of Elder Tang, after going through the incident with Elder Tang, he had inquired about Xiao Yu and naturally knew that Xiao Yu shone brilliantly at the exchange conference, establishing his status as a master.
The matter of Xiao Yu at the exchange conference was considered by many to be an act of taking advantage. Even Zhoukekui initially thought that when he first heard about it, Xiao Yu had gotten lucky and taken advantage, but after going through the incident with Old Grandpa Tang, upon hearing again that Xiao Yu was the young man at the exchange conference, he felt that it wasn't just taking advantage; it was genuine strength. Moreover, it was possible that Xiao Yu hadn’t even exerted half of his abilities at the exchange conference. It’s worth noting that the matter involving Old Grandpa Tang could be considered a divine technique.
Xiao Yu's few needles could truly be said to have snatched three days of life from King Yan (the god of death).
"It's him!!" Upon hearing Zhoukekui’s words, Zhao Wenge and Li Jing exclaimed in surprise. People in remote places might not have heard of Xiao Yu, but they lived in the capital city. Even though they hadn’t attended the exchange conference, they weren't unfamiliar with Xiao Yu.
"But Old Zhou, isn't it said that he took advantage I remember when we discussed this last time, you also said he had taken advantage!" Zhao Wenge asked with a puzzled look after his exclamation. He clearly remembered that the first time they heard about Xiao Yu, they had analyzed it together and concluded that Xiao Yu must have taken an unfair advantage; yet now Zhoukekui’s opinion had completely changed, even praising Xiao Yu excessively.
"Sigh..." Hearing Zhao Wenge's words, Zhoukekui sighed, bowed his head slightly, and shook it gently, saying, "It's like watching the sky from a well!"
When Zhao Wenge and Li Jing heard Zhoukekui’s words, they were momentarily stunned. After all, although they weren’t imperial doctors, their patients included national leaders; hence, they could be considered among the best in Chinese medical arts. Now, such a person was saying “watching the sky from a well,” how could this not shock them
"Alright, Old Zhao, you know the rules, don't ask anymore!" After Zhoukekui spoke, seeing that Zhao Wenge and others were about to ask him more questions, he preemptively said.
Once Zhoukekui spoke, they knew what was going on, so they didn’t continue questioning but fell silent, each lost in their thoughts.
Soon after, Xiao Yu and the others came down from the second floor. The five of them walked towards the restaurant next to them. Although Zhao Wenge and Li Jing were still unaware why Zhoukekui was acting this way, their attitudes toward Xiao Yu had changed drastically.
At dinner, Yunxi and Li Jing chatted while Xiao Yu discussed medical arts with Zhoukekui and Zhao Wenge.
Through chatting, Xiao Yu learned that Zhou Kechi and Zhao Wenge were doctors accompanying the delegation on a visit to Britain, while Li Jing was the head nurse from Beijing Hospital. This time, their hospital had sent ten medical staff in total; the three of them formed one team which had just been relieved after being on duty for 24 hours.
"Buzz..." While Xiao Yu and the others were eating, a sudden commotion at the restaurant's entrance caught everyone’s attention.
Hearing this noise, Xiao Yu and his companions looked toward the door. At that moment, a group of about twenty or thirty people walked out from it.
"Why didn't they go to the small hall but came here for food" Zhou Kechi muttered to himself when he saw these newcomers.
Upon hearing what Zhou Kechi had said, Zhao Wenge and Li Jing did not comment but wore strange expressions on their faces as well.
The people entering were actually the leaders who came for a visit to Britain. The head of this delegation was China’s First Deputy Prime Minister, invited by the British Deputy Prime Minister for an official state visit. Originally scheduled to just stop by the embassy briefly, the Deputy Prime Minister suddenly decided to stay at the embassy upon arrival.
The original itinerary had no overnight stays planned in the embassy; although preparations would be made, it wouldn’t be comprehensive enough. Therefore, when this decision was made spontaneously, everyone from the ambassador down to the staff was thrown into a flurry of activity. After arranging meals in the small hall on the second floor, Deputy Prime Minister Liu suddenly decided to have dinner downstairs in the main dining room, resulting in the scene just witnessed.
Upon seeing Deputy Prime Minister Liu enter, Zhou Kechi and his companions stood up; Xiao Yu and Yunxi followed suit. This was the same Deputy Prime Minister who had attended their wedding but whom they hadn't interacted much with.
In a dining room full of people eating and accompanied by around twenty or thirty individuals surrounding him, Liu naturally didn’t notice Xiao Yu, nor did Xiao Yu and Yunxi approach to greet him.
Only after the Deputy Prime Minister was escorted past them by his entourage did they sit back down. Their voices lowered considerably as they resumed talking since, despite being experts in their respective fields, they were nothing compared to high-ranking officials, especially those at a national level.
After finishing their meal and leaving the dining room, Zhou Kechi and the others—who should have been resting—remained because of Deputy Prime Minister Liu's presence.tened with concern.To understand, Xiao Yu was their last hope. If he couldn't revive her son, it would seem there would be no chance of her son waking up ever again. Upon hearing what her husband said...
