Chapter 999: Chapter 611: Old Affairs
There is a saying that a doctor cannot heal themselves, but in Liu Hun’s view, that is complete nonsense; when a person’s medical skills reach an extreme, there is no illness that cannot be treated, and the Ghost Doctor Clan is filled with medical experts, with hundreds, even thousands of years of heritage, their foundation is extremely rich.
In this way, people within the clan naturally find it much easier to enhance their strength compared to others, because they undergo Washing Marrow from the moment they are born, an exceptional condition that other families cannot match.
“Let me say, young friends, did your elders never teach you the principle that all guests are treated as guests? Moreover, I originally belong to the Ghost Doctor Clan; isn’t it somewhat impolite to treat me this way?” After suppressing the shock in his heart, Liu Hun finally looked at the two boys in front of him and said.
“It seems that’s the case, too, our master also taught us this phrase before, but you say you are one of the Ghost Doctor Clan, so why have we never seen you?” The two boys tilted their heads and thought for a long time before they asked Liu Hun with a hint of vigilance.
“I haven’t returned in many years, so of course you don’t know me. Last time I came back, you probably hadn’t been born yet.” Liu Hun found these two little fellows easy to deceive and couldn’t help but guide them gently.
However, what he said was half-true, half-false; back then, the old man took him past the City of Death, but they didn’t return, at that time Liu Hun was completely unaware of these matters.
“Are you really our senior brother?” The two boys, seeing Liu Hun so confident, hesitated slightly and confirmed with him.
These two boys grew up in such a secluded place, so they naturally hadn’t seen people from outside, thus easily believing Liu Hun’s words.
“Tong’er, Xiu talks nonsense, how many times have I told you, never easily believe others, no matter who they are, if they are not from our Ghost Doctor Clan, swiftly drive them away.” At this moment, an older voice came from behind Liu Hun.
Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw an old man wearing a gray robe, carrying a back basket filled with precious herbs, he appeared somewhat sage-like.
“You liar, we almost fell for your trick!” The two boys, seeing their master appear, immediately looked at Liu Hun with some anger.
“I am indeed half of your senior brother, just haven’t returned for many years.” Liu Hun faced these two little fellows with a calm expression.
“Hmph, the master said that anyone who lies will have a heart beating much faster than usual, dare you let us listen to it?” The two boys pursed their lips, snorted coldly, and proudly said to Liu Hun.
They seemed extremely proud of this method they came up with.
“Of course you can.” Liu Hun nodded with a smile, he actually quite liked these two boys, and he could see that their Spirit Roots were excellent, and both their talent and physique were top-notch.
Given time, once these two fellows grew up, they might become truly terrifying figures, if he could gain their favor at this moment, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for the future.
Seeing Liu Hun agree, the two boys didn’t hesitate and directly placed their ears on Liu Hun’s chest to listen carefully.
After about a minute, the two boys stopped their actions, then turned with a hint of doubt towards the old man and said, “Master, he doesn’t seem to have lied.”
“Tong’er, how did I teach you before, other than those from our Ghost Doctor Clan, anyone else coming in is an outsider and not allowed entry, have you forgotten?” The old man looked at his two disciples’ innocent expressions and couldn’t help but sigh silently.
However, in his heart, he was somewhat puzzled. No matter who it is, if they are lying, their heart will beat slightly faster than usual, even if some people can control it well, but his two disciples are talented and wouldn’t make a mistake in this judgment.
But now his two disciples told him that Liu Hun in front of them didn’t lie, which made him somewhat suspicious of Liu Hun’s identity.
“I don’t care who you are, or how you broke in here, our Ghost Doctor Clan hasn’t appeared for hundreds of years, so I hope you can leave; otherwise, if the Sect Leader arrives later, leaving will be difficult for you.” The old man took a deep breath and said to Liu Hun with a hint of regret.
“I am indeed half a disciple of the Ghost Doctor Clan.” Liu Hun remained unconcerned, his expression serious as he looked at the old man in front of him.
Just after Liu Hun’s words fell, the old man’s brow furrowed slightly, seemingly unable to handle it, he had given Liu Hun several opportunities, but this kid still didn’t grasp them.
Just as he was planning to forcibly expel Liu Hun, the old man’s expression changed slightly, as if he thought of something, and asked Liu Hun with deadlocked eyes, “Who is your master?”
“My master?” Liu Hun was taken aback, thought briefly, and realized, that even now, he didn’t know the old man’s name, which was indeed somewhat pathetic for a disciple.
