Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques Chapter 25: Strange Illness at Gao Family Manor

The Gao Family Estate was located several tens of miles away from Nanyang City and was a top-tier wealthy clan.

From a distance, Lu Changsheng could see a large manor, and many robust martial artists were patrolling near it. Moreover, there was a tall watchtower inside the manor with people constantly watching from above.

The carriage slowly approached the manor.

"Halt! This is the Gao Family Estate, unauthorized personnel are not allowed in!"

As soon as the carriage reached the outskirts of the Gao Family Estate, it was stopped.

The guards appeared very cautious, and their gaze scrutinized the surroundings of the carriage.

"Second Young Master Gao, it's ."

Gao Yucheng urged his horse forward, and the guards finally recognized him, imdiately saluting, "So, it's Second Young Master. Did you bring a renowned physician from Nanyang City?"

"Yes, the eminent Doctor Wu Jing is in the carriage."

"Second Young Master Gao, I know what you're thinking. Your elder brother has also fallen ill with this strange ailnt. Rest assured, once Doctor Wu identifies the cause, all the patients in the Gao Family Estate will be saved."

Gao Yucheng couldn't help but kneel down, "Thank you, Second Young Master, thank you, Doctor Wu!"

Wu Jing pulled aside the carriage curtain and saw Gao Yucheng kneeling.

He sighed, "A doctor's heart is like a parent's heart. As long as there's a chance to save lives, I won't stand by. Young Master Gao, let's go and see the patient quickly."

Gao Yucheng nodded and imdiately led the way, and the carriage swiftly entered the Gao Family Estate.

A few apprentices remained inside the carriage, while Lu Changsheng accompanied his master.

The Gao Family Estate had always been shrouded in mystery, and outsiders were rarely allowed in. Even though several apprentices were born and raised in Nanyang Prefecture, none of them had entered the Gao Family Estate before.

"Is this a jade-paved road? How extravagant the Gao Family Estate is?"

"And that flower garden, it's early winter, but there's still a fragrant bloom in the garden?"

"Plus that lake, they've dug such a huge lake in the Gao Family Estate..."

The apprentices stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with astonishnt and amazent. Apparently, the opulence within the Gao Family Estate had left them in shock.

Even Wu Jing was sowhat moved, marveling at the Gao Family Estate's hidden luxury. Despite being referred to as "wealthy," the Gao Family Estate seed even more extravagant than the wealthy rchants and traders within Nanyang City.

However, Lu Changsheng's focus was different from the others. He was observing the martial artists within the Gao Family Estate.

There were a significant number of martial artists inside the Gao Family Estate, and the security was quite tight along the way. Each martial artist was careful and seed to be on guard against sothing.

The entire Gao Family Estate exuded an aura of tension that seed out of place.

This was clearly unusual.

At present, Nanyang Prefecture was relatively peaceful overall. There weren't many nearby bandits or powerful individuals, and with the Gao Family Estate's strength, there was hardly anyone who would dare to target it.

If there were no enemies, why would the Gao Family Estate be on such high alert?

Gao Yucheng led them into the main hall of the estate.

The estate's lord, Gao Zanhu, ca out to welco them personally.

Gao Zanhu was a robust man with a commanding presence, clearly a formidable martial artist.

"Doctor Wu, I've been eagerly awaiting your arrival."

Gao Zanhu's gaze seed to penetrate Wu Jing, and he was exceptionally warm in his attitude.

"Lord Gao, let first take a look at your son."

"Of course, Doctor Wu, this way."

Wu Jing only brought Lu Changsheng with him; the rest of the apprentices stayed outside.

Gao Zanhu led Doctor Wu and Lu Changsheng into a room where several people were standing, presumably from the Gao family.

Inside the room, there seed to be so kind of incense burning, giving off a refreshing scent.

Wu approached a large bed, where a young man was lying.

The young man had his eyes tightly closed, a pale complexion, and remained motionless.

"Doctor Wu, this is our son, Gao Yuzhi."

"He contracted this strange illness half a month ago and has been lying in bed without any signs of recovery."

"But apart from that, there are no other symptoms."

Gao Zanhu provided a detailed explanation of Gao Yuzhi's condition.

"Half a month already?"

Wu Jing raised his eyebrows, seemingly surprised.

He carefully checked the pulse and examined Gao Yuzhi's eyelids and teeth with his hands.

His brows furrowed deeply.

"Half a month has passed, and you didn't think of anything?"

Wu Jing asked.

"Of course, we tried. Initially, we consulted the doctors in Gao Family Castle, but they couldn't figure it out."

"We then went to other places to find so famous doctors, but none of them had any solutions."

"Later, more people in Gao Family Castle started contracting this strange illness, with the sa symptoms as our son."

"Now, there is panic in Gao Family Castle, so we had no choice but to invite Doctor Wu."

Gao Zanhu's tone also carried a sense of urgency.

With his son still not waking up after half a month and the strange illness spreading within the castle, the pressure on him as the lord of the castle was naturally imnse.

"Strange, really strange."

"Let this old man take another look."

Wu Jing carefully examined the pulse again, and then observed every part of Gao Yuzhi's body, repeatedly for a while.

Finally, Wu Jing slowly spoke, "I need to see the other people in Gao Family Castle who have contracted this strange illness. Is that possible?"

Before Gao Zanhu could respond, a tall man next to him suddenly exclaid loudly, "You've been looking for so long, and there's been no improvent?"

"Famous doctors? In the South Yang City area, where are these famous doctors? They're just a bunch of quacks!"

"I say, big brother, you should quickly chase away these quacks."

The tall man seed to be quite hot-tempered, and after speaking, he even pushed towards Wu Jing.

"Snap."

Lu Changsheng's eyes turned cold, and he instantly reached out and grabbed the tall man's hand.

"Who do you think you are? Get lost!"

Terrifying energy and blood surged within the tall man's body, and the pressure was so strong that even Wu Jing felt unstable.

Lu Changsheng's gaze turned even colder as he tightly squeezed the tall man's arm.

"Crack."

The man's hand bones seed to have been crushed, and he let out a painful scream.

"Ah..."

The man shivered all over, his voice extrely agonizing.

"Boom."

Lu Changsheng casually tossed the man aside, and he fell heavily to the ground.

The tall man's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared, "Quick, soone catch this brat; I want to break his legs..."

"Who dares?"

Lu Changsheng shouted loudly and shielded his master with his brother.

"Wait."

At this mont, Gao Zanhu spoke up.

He glanced at the tall man's broken arm on the ground, showing signs of fracture.

Gao Zanhu furrowed his brows slightly and said, "May I ask, are you Doctor Wu's disciples? As a physician, how can you be so ruthless?"

"Ruthless? This is already considered mild. A martial artist wants to use violence against an elderly man, over seventy years old. Is this how you welco guests in Gao Family Castle?"

"Master, I think we should leave. It seems unnecessary to treat this illness. Let's go!"

Lu Changsheng imdiately pulled his master to leave.

However, Gao Yuzhi quietly stood in front of Lu Changsheng.

At this point, Wu Jing took a step forward and slamd his cane on the ground, saying loudly, "Lord Gao, I understand that the Gao Family Castle holds significant power."

"But I have practiced dicine all my life, saving countless lives. Among them are not just ordinary people but also so refined martial artists, and they all carry a sense of gratitude towards !"

"Furthermore, I am also a physician from the Miaoshou Garden. Are you still considering keeping and my disciples here against our will?"

Wu Jing was clearly getting angry.
