Chapter 60 Giving Gifts
"Ye Ling had previously crippled Zhao Qingyun, the second young master of the Zhao family, in the hospital, and now he dares to attend Family Head Zhao's eightieth birthday celebration? Is he seeking death?"
"Hehe, that might not necessarily be the case. Haven't you seen that he's even prepared a birthday gift for Family Head Zhao? Maybe he's here to reconcile with Family Head Zhao?"
"I think it's quite possible! The Zhao family had previously announced that they have a way to treat the several Family Heads' gu poison. Maybe they've already reconciled with Ye Ling, and he will take action to treat them!"
...
Watching Ye Ling outside the courtyard and Family Head Zhao, a buzz of discussion rose among the guests inside the courtyard.
The Zhao family is an old and influential family in Gusu City; it wouldn't be odd for Ye Ling, a guy from out of town, to bow his head and admit his mistake to the Zhao family!
Hearing the discussions of the crowd, those few Family Heads showed disdain.
Divine Doctor Ye admit his mistake to the Zhao family?
What virtues or abilities do they have?
Even the steward from the Medicine God Sect's headquarters in the Imperial Capital calls Divine Doctor Ye 'my lord'; this mere family in Gusu City probably doesn't even catch his eye.
But they were not fools; they naturally would not reveal Ye Ling's identity nor offend the Zhao family because of it.
After all, Ye Ling's stance was clear, he would not treat the gu poison within them.
Hence, they could only pin their hopes on the Zhao family and naturally would not do anything to offend them at this time.
It didn't take long for Ye Jiu to return outside Zhao family's courtyard, carrying a rectangular wooden box.
"Family Head Zhao, this is the birthday gift I have for you, 'May your fortune be as vast as the Eastern seas and your lifespan as long as the Southern mountains.' Hahaha!"
Ye Ling glanced at Ye Jiu next to him, then said with a big laugh.
His laughter was filled with disdain and contempt.
Family Head Zhao, an old fox, could certainly discern Ye Ling's tone in his laughter.
Although the wooden box carried by Ye Jiu looked quite exquisite, Family Head Zhao understood that whatever was inside the box was probably not something pleasant.
"In that case, thank you, Divine Doctor Ye!"
Family Head Zhao spoke, emphasizing the words 'Divine Doctor Ye' particularly hard as if to warn Ye Ling not to cause trouble.
Ye Ling just chuckled upon hearing that and said, "Ye Jiu, present our birthday gift to Family Head Zhao!"
After all, Ye Ling's medical skills had already spread throughout Gusu City; everyone knew there was such a Divine Doctor from Jinling City.
"Divine Doctor Ye, where shall we sit?"
Family Head Hu ignored that person and turned to Ye Ling to ask.
Ye Ling glanced over everyone present, then smiled and said, "Let's sit over there."
Then, the three of them walked towards the direction that person had indicated.
"My lord, that guy has come too!"
After taking their seats, Ye Jiu suddenly leaned in close to Ye Ling and whispered.
Ye Ling looked up towards the entrance and saw that the visitor was Su Ya from the Su family, who at that moment was happily linked arm-in-arm with a tall young man, her synthetic face brimming with happiness!
To Ye Ling's slight surprise, the tall youth Su Ya was with looked to be only in his thirties, yet he exuded a whiff of a Grandmaster's aura!
Such a young Grandmaster, even in the Northern Liang, was quite rare!
It seemed Su Ya noticed Ye Ling's gaze, for she turned her head towards him as well!
"Xiaoya, what are you looking at? Did you see someone you know?"
The tall young man, sensing something off about Su Ya, asked her.
Su Ya shook her head with a smile and said, "Not someone I know well, just the good-for-nothing son-in-law of my Su family! I didn't expect to see him here; it's really bad luck!"
"Oh? Is that the guy you've always been talking about, the Su family's good-for-nothing son-in-law?"
The tall young man raised an eyebrow and continued, "Rumor has it that this guy single-handedly crippled Tian Zaiye, Jinling City's number one master, though I don't know if it's true or not!"
"If it's true, I'd really like to have a match with him to see how strong he is!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingming, who was standing beside the man, chuckled and said, "Young Master Lin, with you being so young and already at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, how could his strength compare to yours, someone of no significant renown!"
"In my opinion, the reason he was able to defeat Tian Zaiye must be that Tian was old and in physical decline, allowing him to take advantage of the situation."
"If you, Young Master Lin, were to take action, I'm afraid you'd need only one move to finish this guy off."
His own younger brother had been crippled by Ye Ling, so naturally Zhao Qingming had a lot of hatred toward Ye Ling in his heart.
The position of family head of the Zhao family had already been predetermined, belonging to none other than Zhao Qingming, the eldest son, so the two brothers who did not have to compete for the position of family head also had a very good relationship.
