Chapter 438: Chapter 448: Doctor Zhou’s Senior Disciple

Hearing that there was an opportunity for redemption, their eyes alight with life.

No one is born a slave. How could they not long for freedom?

Yue Rujing blinked hard at Gu Youyou, who gave a faint smile and turned a deaf ear.

Knowing Youyou’s temperament, she had no choice but to drop the matter.

...

The factory started operating, and in the blink of an eye, October arrived.

"It’s been a year already," Youyou murmured softly, standing at the window.

The letters sent to Qingshui Town had disappeared like stones into the sea, without any reply whatsoever.

A large pharmacy in Yangguan City wanted to purchase some medicines from her, and she might just take this chance...

Footsteps echoed from below; before long, Banxia appeared at the top of the stairs.

"Sister Youyou, Doctor Cao from Yangguan City has arrived."

This was the buyer of the medicine.

"Alright, I know," she responded.

After changing into a suitable and dignified outfit, Youyou descended the stairs.

The medicinal herb factory of Jisheng Hall produced a great amount, more than they could use, so other town pharmacies would buy some, intrigued by the novelty, and Youyou was willing to sell.

Yet, it was the first time someone from a city like Yangguan had come to make such a large purchase of herbs.

Youyou walked into the hall, which was part of a courtyard bought later, an antique parlor dedicated to receiving guests.

There were personnel Yue Rujing had brought from the Marquis Residence, said to be quite professional—a butler and a chief maid who were presently attending to the guests.

They had their own way of interacting; Youyou learned to integrate rather than insisting on her own rules.

When the butler saw her arriving, he immediately stood up, stepped back, and said, "Doctor Cao, this is our Doctor Gu."

The other party was evidently surprised for a moment because Youyou appeared simply as a young girl, really... too young.

"Doctor Gu!" the other party saluted with clasped hands.

Youyou inclined her knees slightly in return.

The visitors from Yangguan included two people; one, a middle-aged man with a beard, was indeed that Doctor Cao.

The other seemed to be his attendant.

After exchanging courteous greetings, the attendant and the staff of the house retreated, leaving only Youyou with Cao Tianyou in the hall.

They didn’t dive straight into the main topic; rather, Doctor Cao asked some unrelated questions.

"I’ve heard that Doctor Gu is the favored disciple of the renowned Doctor Zhou from Qingshui Town?"

Youyou was slightly startled, then chuckled, "I’m grateful for my teacher’s kindness; it is because of him that Youyou bears the name of a healer. How does Doctor Cao recognize my mentor?"

Cao Tianyou paused, set aside the formalities, lifted the tea, and took a sip before speaking, "Who in Qingshui Town doesn’t know of Doctor Zhou’s name? As a fellow doctor, I have naturally heard of him."

Youyou looked at him but suddenly laughed, "My mentor’s reputation in Qingshui town is indeed good, but Yangguan City is a large place. Though Youyou has never been there, I’ve heard that there are many skilled doctors in the medical halls there, and Doctor Cao is among the most outstanding. It’s a surprise that you would know of a doctor from a small town like Qingshui."

"Doctor Gu is too modest. Although Qingshui Town is small, Doctor Zhou’s reputation has never been limited; do not underestimate Doctor Zhou," he replied.

Youyou smiled faintly, her demeanor serene, "Youyou has never underestimated Doctor Zhou, nor would I dare to underestimate my senior brother!"

She lifted her head, still smiling as her gaze fell upon Cao Tianyou, who wore a look of shock.

"How... how did you know? Ah, I did not expect... that Teacher Zhou would still mention me. However, I, Cao, was long ago expelled by Doctor Zhou from his mentorship, so you should not address me as your senior brother," he stated.
