Chapter 618: Chapter 618 Pretending to be Dead_1 Chapter 618: Chapter 618 Pretending to be Dead_1 “Wow, these four little ones are so cute. You can tell they are going to grow up to be good-looking,” Gong Juese exclaid with even greater joy upon discovering the four little ones in the cradle.
Gong Juechen also found the four little ones adorable and liked them very much; however, when his gaze fell upon An Yiyun, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly.
An Jing noticed this and hurriedly said, “This is my son with the congenital deficiency. Please, Doctor Gong, take a look at him.”
Gong Juechen held An Yiyun solemnly and examined him closely for a while before saying, “Indeed, he has a congenital deficiency.”
An Jing asked, “Doctor Gong, can you cure him?”
Gong Juechen said, “I can only tell you that it’s treatable, but it can’t be completely cured.”
An Jing: “What do you an?”
Gong Juechen: “It ans he can live without taking dicine every day, but his body will still be weak and not as strong as a normal person.”
An Jing pressed her lips tightly and looked at her little son An Yiyun for a long while before asking softly, “Isn’t there any way to completely cure him?” She really wanted to completely cure her son.
Gong Juechen said, “There isn’t.”
An Jing said, “Do you, Doctor Gong, know of anyone whose dical skills surpass yours?”
Gong Juechen said, “I do not.”
Gong Juese interjected, “Jingjing, don’t underestimate my brother because he’s young, but my brother’s dical expertise is truly exceptional. Even our master praised him, saying his skills have surpassed the master’s and no one can compare. If my brother can’t fully heal your son, then probably no one else can.”
Despite Gong Juese referring to her so familiarly as Jingjing, An Jing wasn’t in the mood to care about that; instead, she asked, “Your master is…?”
Gong Juese said, “I don’t know his real na, but everyone used to call him a ‘strange doctor.'”
ng Zhuqing, fearing that Gong Juechen might be deceiving them, had already invited Doctor Jiang, an Imperial Physician. Having a knowledgeable person from their side was always good.
Upon hearing the words ‘strange doctor,’ Doctor Jiang exclaid, “Wasn’t he said to have died a long ti ago?”
Gong Juese said, “Yes, he died, but not long ago – just two years ago.”
After a silent pause, Doctor Jiang said, “I am just a doctor. When I first started studying dicine, I heard about your master. Not only were his dical skills exceptional, but his martial arts were also powerful. However, at that ti… that was twenty years ago, I had already heard that your master was dead.”
Gong Juese laughed and said, “That was because he went into seclusion in the mountains; he no longer wanted to treat people because it was too troubleso. He claid to be dead as an excuse.”
Doctor Jiang said, “I see.”
An Jing asked, “Doctor Jiang, was the strange doctor’s dical expertise really that high?”
Doctor Jiang said, “Yes, very high. There are even legends about him to this day, claiming he could bring the dead back to life.”
Gong Juese imdiately laughed loudly and said, “What dead people? That person wasn’t completely dead yet; he was still alive. My master told and my brother about it as a joke. He said that he saved soone who wasn’t completely dead, and then everyone started spreading rumors that he could resurrect the dead. After that, even more people ca to him for treatnt. But there were too many people coming to him for cures, and it got to the point where he had no ti to sleep. Eventually, he got annoyed and paid people to spread the rumor that he had died. Then, he himself retired to the seclusion of the forests.”
Doctor Jiang: “…”
“However,” Gong Juese continued, “my master’s dical skills are indeed superb. The reason my brother’s dical skills are so advanced is also thanks to our master’s excellent teaching. It’s just a pity that I’m not interested in dicine, so I only learned martial arts from our master.”
