Chapter 184: The Godly Young Divine Doctor
Someone had once said that the nephew’s appearance didn’t resemble his father, but was exactly like his uncle.
This made Lu Xing extremely proud, especially since his nephew was naturally intelligent and destined to be an official!
He had even thought… that when his nephew grew up and became an official, he would also be very proud.
The Lu family was not a wealthy or influential family, they were merely half-part martial artists who escorted caravans.
Lu Xing’s sister, Lu Youyou, was cute since childhood and had a gentle temper, unlike the rough and tough Lu family members.
Because of this, Lu Youyou was cherished by the whole family, treated as a fragile treasure, and was pampered as she grew up.
Later, after the Lu family accidentally saved Ruan Qingshan from being robbed by mountain bandits, Lu Youyou was very curious about this scholar who exuded a scholarly aura.
After all, he was nothing like the men around her who wielded weapons, and on top of that, he was handsome and refined, making him even more approachable.
A man and a woman, both with good looks, and having spent a lot of time together.
Feelings naturally developed.
Lu Youyou’s parents were also very satisfied with Ruan Qingshan, so without much hesitation, they agreed to marry their daughter to him.
After they got married, Lu Youyou went to live in Ruan Qingshan’s home.
Ruan Qingshan’s parents were very grateful to Lu Youyou for saving their son. Moreover, she was a very easy-going person, and there were no conflicts.
Harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and a happy family.
Lu Xing once thought that life would continue like this forever.
But, until that day…
“Your nephew?”
“I have a nephew who looked just like me since he was young! So if you think I look familiar, you might have seen my nephew!”
“Hmm, how old is your nephew now?”
“He’s nineteen, I think. When the incident happened, he was still a child… So much time has passed, I haven’t heard anything from him.”
Lu Xing didn’t doubt Gu Yu’s words at all.
He had been looking for his nephew for many years, but no one had ever approached him saying he looked familiar.
This was because others didn’t know he was looking for someone.
Now, a young stranger he just met suddenly said he looked familiar.
This immediately ignited hope in Lu Xing’s heart. Losing his previous cold demeanor, he looked at Gu Yu with anticipation, his intense gaze making Gu Yu feel a bit awkward.
If others saw this scene, they would think he and Lu Xing were related in some way!
However, as they got closer.
Gu Yu felt even more familiar.
But, it was like his mind was stuck, the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn’t say them.
Not only was Lu Xing anxious, but Gu Yu was even more so.
If he didn’t resolve this matter today, he really wouldn’t be able to sleep!
It would have been better if he hadn’t met Lu Xing, but since he had, he couldn’t just ignore it.
“What’s your nephew’s name?”
“Ruan… I don’t know. A lot of time has passed, I don’t know if he’s changed his name.”
“That makes it difficult…”
Seeing that Lu Xing couldn’t offer any useful suggestions, Gu Yu frowned, rapidly ruling out potential candidates in his mind.
But after ruling out one after another, he still couldn’t recall why he looked familiar.
Then, Gu Yu looked up and carefully observed Lu Xing’s appearance. Although he wasn’t particularly handsome, he wasn’t ugly either.
He had a mustache that looked a bit humorous.
If he resembled him, he wouldn’t be an ordinary-looking person.
So, there was only one method left…
“Do you really want to find your nephew?”
“Yes! No matter the cost, I have to find him!”
“In that case, shave off your mustache.”
“Shave my mustache?”
Originally, when Lu Xing heard Gu Yu’s words, he thought Gu Yu was going to ask him to do something dangerous.
But what he didn’t expect was… that Gu Yu meant for him to shave off his mustache.
Subconsciously, he raised his hand and touched his mustache, and Lu Xing immediately guessed the reason.
He probably thought that because his mustache obscured his original appearance, the young man in front of him hadn’t immediately recognized him.
Thinking of this, Lu Xing didn’t delay. He immediately took out a dagger from his waist.
Without looking in a mirror, with a few swift strokes, he cleanly shaved off the mustache on his face.
Gu Yu also didn’t expect Lu Xing to be so agreeable. He had originally planned to explain, but now it seemed he didn’t need to put in much effort.
When Lu Xing looked up again, after shaving off his mustache, he looked at least ten years younger.
It was precisely because he shaved off his mustache that Gu Yu finally remembered why he looked familiar!
Li Wang!
This person, who had switched allegiance from the Royal Support Squad to him, had not left much of an impression on Gu Yu due to the short time they spent together and Li Wang often doing servant chores.
In fact, it was Li Wang’s first impression that was too striking, making Gu Yu always remember that slovenly appearance.
Lu Xing’s mustache was similar, leaving too deep an impression.
“Young Master, have you remembered?”
“Mm, I’ve remembered. You indeed look very much like someone I know… but I can’t guarantee that person is your nephew.”
“It’s okay, I’ll know the result just by taking one look.”
“Alright, follow me back to the residence.”
Although Li Wang’s appearance was very similar to Lu Xing’s, Gu Yu didn’t make any definitive statements. When Lu Xing himself proposed to take a look, Gu Yu naturally wouldn’t refuse.
Even though Li Wang was still in his probationary period, he was no different from one of their own now.
For Lu Xing, who might be his relative, Gu Yu couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
Moreover, he wasn’t worried that Lu Xing would do anything to him.
With space and medicinal powder in hand, even if Lu Xing wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t have the chance, and would instead be killed by him.
However, at this moment, Lu Xing was immersed in the anxiety of potentially meeting his nephew, and didn’t think about doing anything to Gu Yu.
He wasn’t some perverted killer who killed indiscriminately… even when accepting missions, he wouldn’t harm the weak old and young.
What’s more, if Gu Yu wasn’t lying, Lu Xing would have to thank him.
He was practically a great benefactor to both him and his nephew!
On the way, the two did not travel in silence but chatted about Li Wang.
Basically, Lu Xing asked questions, and Gu Yu answered.
However, because Gu Yu wasn’t very familiar with Li Wang, there were very few answers he could provide.
Despite this, Lu Xing was happily grinning foolishly, a complete change from his previous demeanor, which made Gu Yu speechless.
Brother, where did your cool killer persona go!!!
Did you throw it to the ends of the earth?
“This is my home. Currently, due to the Emperor’s death, the situation in the capital is tense, so it’s different from usual.”
“I understand.”
After Gu Yu returned to the Gu Residence, Lu Xing looked at the large ‘Gu’ character on the plaque in front of him and his eyes widened in surprise.
He hadn’t expected this young man to be related to the Gu family!
Lu Xing, who had been living in the capital, was naturally no stranger to the Gu Residence, which had recently been the subject of much talk.
Whether it was Gu Qing’s good reputation outside, his daughter becoming the first female official in the Linfeng Kingdom, or his highly capable divine doctor son-in-law, they were all formidable figures.
Looking at Gu Yu’s extraordinary bearing, Lu Xing guessed… that he was likely the young divine doctor who was rumored to be so miraculous!
