"Mai, what’s that supposed to an? Are you disappointed that it’s not Senior Brother?" Su Tong saw that Mai Gu’s face darkened and imdiately jumped out of the car, quickly approaching Mai Gu. "Hmph, I thought you were so impressive, but it turns out you’re just a coward. Since you’ve lost, there’s probably no one in this world who can stand up for you except Senior Brother. Mai, you are the disgrace of our Shennong Sect!"
"Old Su Tong, what do you know!" Seeing Su Tong daring to insult him and exposing his thoughts, Mai Gu beca displeased.
Upon hearing the report that Li Fengxian’s disciple had arrived, and with an old man, Mai Gu’s first reaction was that Li Fengxian had brought his disciples.
Although he hadn’t seen Senior Brother in many years and Senior Brother was extrely reclusive and sowhat mad, there was no denying his unparalleled dical skills.
Mai Gu knew he was no match for those from Sunset Country. If Li Fengxian showed up, it would solve his urgent problem.
Moreover, those from Sunset Country wouldn’t give up until they achieved their goal.
Despite his initial delight, Mai Gu wanted to be respectful and highly praise Li Fengxian so that he would help.
But upon seeing who it was, Mai Gu was disappointed.
There was no Senior Brother Li Fengxian, only a young boy who still slled of milk and Su Tong who had taken his young disciple.
"Mr. Wu, what kind of people are you calling for? In the future, don’t notify of irrelevant people, just drive them away!" Mai Gu shot a glance at Su Tong, deliberately scolding the gatekeeper loudly, then turned to head into the iron gate.
Su Tong darted forward to block Mai Gu, "Mai, do you think I’d co to see you if my young junior didn’t insist? Don’t flatter yourself. If you don’t help solve this today, we’re not leaving."
"Oh, my Senior Su, weren’t you always so high and mighty? Didn’t you look down on for being worldly? So now you’re here to ask for my help?" Mai Gu laughed. "But looking at you, is this how you ask for help?"
He then gave Ye Guichen a disdainful glance, "Hmph, how do I know he’s truly Senior Brother’s disciple? Maybe you just tead up with this kid to trick using Senior Brother’s na."
"Mai, don’t talk nonsense!" Su Tong flushed with anger, pointing at Ye Guichen. "His dical skills were taught personally by Senior Brother, especially the Divine Soul Breaking Hole Technique. I saw it with my own eyes. How could it be fake?"
"Is that so?" Mai Gu didn’t believe Su Tong. "And so what? Unless you bring back Linglong, even if the sky falls, I won’t bother with you. Brother Su, you may leave now."
Finished speaking, he turned to leave.
Su Tong panicked. He didn’t expect Mai Gu to disrespect him so much, even wanting to drive him out in front of Ye Guichen. He couldn’t help but blurt out, "Mai, are you going to remain a coward forever? We’ve all heard about your troubles with the Sunset Country dics. Ye might be able to help you."
"Hmm?" Mai Gu stopped, giving Ye Guichen another careful look, then shook his head lightly. "Su Tong, do you think I’m senile? This kid is so young. Even if he started learning dicine in the womb, he couldn’t have been studying for as long as us. Besides, apart from Master’s skills, I only admire Senior Brother’s. Even if this boy is Senior Brother’s disciple, how much could he know? Su Tong, your tricks are not impressive."
Seeing Mai Gu’s disbelief, Su Tong was about to argue when Ye Guichen stepped forward, politely saying, "Master Mai, I truly am my master’s disciple. Although my dical skills are unrefined, since this matter involves the honor of Hua Country, I cannot stand by and watch our dical field beco a joke. Hiding will only make us a laughingstock. Sunset Country will certainly use this against us."
"Kid, how dare you speak to like that!" Mai Gu was so angry that he pointed his cane at Ye Guichen. "What do you know? Hmph, if you are really Senior Brother’s disciple, call him here now. Otherwise, you will only be humiliated!"
Recalling the dical competition, Mai Gu’s eyes showed a painful mory, like a mont he wished to forget.
He knew that hiding wouldn’t help.
Recently, Sunset Country had been using the dia to boast that Huaxia’s dical skills had no successor, saying even Mai Gu, who claid to be the best in Jiangnan, was hiding—clearly fearful.
What could Mai Gu do?
The opponent’s dical skills were exceedingly strong.
Mai Gu had thought about asking Li Fengxian for help, but they hadn’t seen each other for nearly twenty years. Who knew if Senior Brother was still alive, or where he was?
Moreover, even if he could contact him, Senior Brother’s temperant was odd. Asking him to co would be another challenge.
Now a young kid claid he wanted to stand up for him—this had to be a joke, right?
"Master Mai, Master lives a peaceful life now. Even if the sky falls, he wouldn’t co. If you trust , let give it a try. You won’t lose anything, right?" Ye Guichen calmly looked at Mai Gu with a smile. "Master Su has always told you crave power, but I don’t see it that way."
"Here is your hard work,’’ Ye Guichen pointed to the dicinal herb garden, "You used your strength to feed more people, heal more through your efforts, and promote our Shennong Sect’s dical skills. On the surface, it looks like you’re seeking power, but you know that true power lets you do more, right?"
"Hey, Young Ye, why are you speaking in favor of that old Mai?" Su Tong, irritated. "This kid is complinting Mai Gu, isn’t this slapping in the face?"
Mai Gu’s face softened, sowhat surprised, and he gave Su Tong a scornful glance. "Kid, you are more insightful than Su. Well, regardless if you are Senior Brother’s disciple, your words just now already make you better than so. Co with ."
Though doubtful Ye Guichen could help against the Sunset Country dics, since he was here, he had no reason to kick him out.
Moreover, if Ye Guichen truly was Li Fengxian’s disciple, he would have information on Li Fengxian. Then, Mai Gu would have no problem dragging Li Fengxian to Qingzhou, and dealing with those small Sunset Country dics would be easy.
