Yu Fu Accepts Disciples (Part Five)

Looking through the screen, Xun Chi knew exactly what they were trying to do.

“Give it up.
My Immortals Valley has never accepted adult disciples.
Moreover, teaching old bags of bones like you, who have already accepted official positions, would damage my reputation.”

They could not help but feel a bit embarrassed.
They had not even spoken, yet Xun Chi was able to guess what they were thinking.

“Then our families’ grandchildren…”

“No, those kids with no talent for medicine from Western Kun are already enough of a headache.
Don’t bring the conflict between your countries to my Immortals Valley.”

“This…”

He had already accepted disciples from Western Kun, yet he was unwilling to accept Eastern Ling’s disciples.
How could this be good?

The imperial physicians wore bitter expressions, and Xun Chi felt annoyed by this.
Waving his hand, he said: “Alright, alright, though you can’t become my disciples, you can become my disciple’s disciple.
Yu Fu has never had any disciples.”

His meaning was to have these old imperial physicians ask Yu Fu to be their master?

Everyone exchanged glances.
Yu Fu had an esteemed background, but she was still just a thirteen-year-old little girl.
How could this group of old men bear the shame of asking her to be their master?

“You don’t want to do that now? If not for my words, even if you wanted to beg Yu Fu to be your master, she would not accept you.
Since when have my Immortals Valley’s disciples become worth so little?”

Everyone suddenly came back to their senses.

If they accepted Yu Fu as their master, they would be disciples under Immortals Valley.
In the future, if their country suffers from some hardship, they would be able to use their status to request help from Immortals Valley.

Moreover, imperial physician Sun had said that Yu Fu’s medical ability was exceptional.
As long as they could learn a few things, who cared if she was a child or an adult?

“Many thanks, Lord Deity of Medicine.
This lowly official will be going now!”

Yu Fu and Gu ShuBai entered the main hall and found a brazier installed in front of Gu HuaiJiang’s desk with the remnants of what looked like a report burning inside.

“You’ve returned? How is His Majesty?”

“After the treatment, His Majesty fell asleep.
When he wakes up tomorrow, he will be fine.
Head general, extend your hands for me to see.”

After Yu Fu checked his pulse, she nodded and said with a smile: “The poison has been completely cleared from your body.
The two other ingredients that master added really were vital to completing the medicine.
If we went with my original prescription, I fear that it would take much longer to completely get rid of the poison.”

Gu HuaiJiang said: “Naturally, I must thank the Deity of Medicine for resolving my problem, but your part must not be ignored.
I know that you were unable to sleep properly during the past few days for the sake of developing the antidote.”

Gu ShuBai also said: “That’s right.
We clearly said that we would ask the Deity of Medicine to come only if Yu Fu absolutely could not come up with an antidote.
Who knew that she would write for the Deity of Medicine to come much sooner out of fear that something would happen to father.”

Yu Fu smiled with a bit of embarrassment, “Head general has treated me even better.
This was something that I should have done.
Moreover, Kun WuShang knows me too well.
He came prepared, while I had no grasp on how to prepare the antidote, so I invited master to come earlier to feel at ease.”

Bringing up Kun WuShang, she suddenly thought of something.

“Right, master brought some news.
He said that for the contribution of dragging down the previous prime minister, Kun WuShang obtained some power in Western Kun.
Now, he is the only prince capable of competing with the crown prince.
Emperor Kun intends to train him to weaken the crown prince, which allowed Kun WuShang to gain quite a great deal.”

Gu HuaiJiang thought for quite a long time, “Kun WuShang is not someone to underestimate.
He pretends to be weak while destroying the strong.
It is very difficult for normal people to see his true self.
If Western Kun ends up under his control, the border between the two countries will become even more unstable…”

Yu Fu also thought of this, “I have already asked second senior disciple to absolutely get revenge on him for me when he returns to Immortals Valley.
Unfortunately, he currently doesn’t dare return to Immortals Valley.
He must know that if he returns, master will definitely deal with him for me.”

“He’s not stupid.
He clearly knows that the Deity of Medicine dotes on you the most.
How could he dare return?”

Gu ShuBai picked up the tongs from the side and used them to pick up the report written by Gu HuaiJiang.
It was the one detailing the truth behind his poisoning.
Lifting the corner, he allowed the fire to burn brighter, only putting the tongs down once all of the paper had been reduced to ash.

“Father, nobody in the palace knows that His Majesty was poisoned and not sick.
As for the person behind the poisoning, I trust that they also believe that the Deity of Medicine won’t expose the truth of the matter.
I figure that there is no longer any need for us to worry about it in the future.”

Gu HuaiJiang nodded, “This matter has already been swept under the rug in the palace, and it’s even more important that it does not leak from Marquis Gu’s Manor.
You must remember to act the same as usual when dealing with the people in the palace and avoid arousing suspicion.
I absolutely will not participate in the fight for the throne.
Regardless of who ascends the throne in the future, I will adhere to His Majesty’s arrangements!”

He had always maintained a neutral stance, devoting himself entirely to the country and never participating in the fight between the eldest prince and the second prince.

Naturally, Gu ShuBai was able to understand his bitterness and quickly said: “Father, don’t worry.
Son understands and will advise my younger brothers.”

Gu HuaiJiang said with difficulty: “This time, it might be he who was muddled.
As long as he does not do it again, this secret will never be spread…”

Yu Fu glanced at him and thought to herself that if the eldest prince did not do it again, what of it?

Marquis Gu’s Manor was at the heart of the struggle in court and truly should not concern itself with this matter.

It suddenly became noisy out in the courtyard, as a group of people surged into the main hall’s courtyard while shouting Yu Fu’s name.

Yu Fu heard this and lifted the curtain just a crack to look outside.
It turned out to be the group of imperial physicians.

Had they not gone to consult master about medicine?

She heard them repeatedly say: “Young miss Yu Fu, where are you? We wish to become your disciples.
Young miss Yu Fu, please accept us!”
