"I've been treating Lord Shen in Xilan County for the past six months, but he passed away half a month ago. I just left the city," said Doctor Zhao, while also observing Gu Xixi's reaction.

Gu Xixi paused briefly, her eyes filled with suppressed sorrow. "I already knew the news this morning. Did he leave any words before he died?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Liangyi replied, "Lord Shen said he wants to eat tomato and egg noodles, with two eggs."

That was the first thing she had ever given him to eat… Tears welled up in her eyes, but Gu Xixi quickly wiped them away and composed herself. “Please excuse my behavior.”

"The young lady is loyal and righteous, there's nothing to laugh about." Doctor Zhao shook his head, feeling happy for Shen Qingyan. Although they were destined to be apart, the fact that the young lady had him in her heart was enough.

He picked up the pottery jar and handed it to Gu Xixi. "I think it's fate that I brought Lord Shen here today. In these five years, I think it's most appropriate for this to stay with you, Miss. When I return to the Great Huang Dynasty, you can return it to me so I can take it back and give it to Lord Shen's parents, would that be alright?"

"On the day of Lord Shen's funeral, neither of Lord Shen's parents showed up, so I could only slowly search for them."

After Dr. Zhao finished explaining, Gu Xixi looked at the pottery jar and hesitated to reach out and take it. Shen Qingyan, such a big person, had been reduced to a tiny jar...

"Okay." Gu Xixi reached out and took the jar, hugged it to her chest, and gently stroked it. "Doctor Zhao, please come with me to my residence."

"Alright, thank you for your trouble, young lady." After bowing, Zhao Liangyi followed Gu Xixi to the supermarket entrance.

Chen Yu opened the car door and subconsciously explained, "Dr. Zhao, this is a car, similar to a horse-drawn carriage in your area, but without horses. Please have a seat."

Gu Xixi sat down first, setting an example for Zhao Liangyi. Zhao Liangyi made two "oh" sounds, reached out to hold onto the car door frame, carefully climbed in, and sat down in a flustered manner.

This seat is so soft!

"Dr. Zhao, this is a seatbelt. Pull it over like this and fasten it to this red button. The purpose is to prevent people from being thrown out and injured during sudden braking."

Gu Xixi patiently guided him, "You don't need to worry. During your time in the modern world, I will arrange for someone to accompany you and help you adapt to life here."

Zhao Liangyi was not young by ancient standards, and he had come to such a completely new and unfamiliar world. There was still a lot he needed to adapt to, so Gu Xixi wanted to make him as comfortable as possible.

“Young lady, you have made very thoughtful arrangements. But you need not worry, I am very adaptable. May I trouble you to introduce the scenery along the way?” Doctor Zhao pointed to the strange scenery around him, which was completely different from his own world.

Gu Xixi nodded, "Dr. Zhao, these buildings outside are all residential buildings. Now we have new building materials, so the houses can be built very high, the tallest being over a hundred meters above the ground, which is more than six hundred feet high... Those running vehicles are also cars, classified according to their function... This is an asphalt road, the main road in the city..."

Zhao Liangyi was even more overwhelmed by the sight. The roads were so clean and tidy, and the official road was as exquisite and beautiful as the imperial garden, with flowers blooming everywhere.

A certain distance away, there are gardens and lakes where locals can stroll and play... There are also tall streetlights at night, horse-drawn carriages that can run without horses, and huge "flying chickens" flying overhead. Miss Gu's world is truly breathtaking.

His eyes were dazzled by the sight. There must be something he could learn in such a place, a medical skill that the Great Huang Dynasty didn't have. Wouldn't that solve many of the Great Huang Dynasty's intractable diseases?

……

The news of Zhao Liangyi's arrival was communicated to Elder Xu, who, as the president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, immediately began to arrange work. After the meeting, he led his people from the association to Gu Xixi's villa.

Xu Yue also arrived; she stood guard at the door.

Since being recruited by Professor Xu to become a graduate student, she hasn't had time to visit Xixi for a long time. She finally got the chance, and she even got to meet an ancient imperial physician... a living antique!

She was so excited.

Professor Wei was just as excited as she was. As a staff member, Professor Chen also rushed to Gu Xixi's villa.

He sat in his car, watching a few people in the "A Bunch of Old Fools" group gloating.

I recently acquired a set of writing implements (writing brush, ink stick, inkstone, and paper). I'd like to invite everyone to appraise it. Anyone available? Spaces are limited!

[Professor Zhang's appraisal event must have yielded very rare treasures.]

[It's just so-so, nothing special, only something that looks like it was used by Tang Bohu...]

[Mr. Chen, why aren't you saying anything? You're usually the most enthusiastic, but I haven't seen you online lately. It's no fun without you at the treasure appraisal event.]

Old Chen laughed even more smugly: "Ah, a mere Tang Bohu's writing implements, and even suspected ones at that? I won't participate. I'm going to see real antiques today—an opportunity that comes along only once in a thousand, even ten thousand years. Don't bother asking around; I'm not telling you."

Everyone: !! ???

People quickly tagged Old Chen in the group chat, but he simply turned off his phone and ignored them. Hey, these old folks are going to be so anxious, let them worry themselves sick.

When the car arrived at Gu Xixi's villa, Zhao Liangyi got out of the car with great interest. He immediately noticed that Gu Xixi's residence was different from other residential buildings.

It turns out that this Miss Gu comes from a wealthy family... yet she is so approachable.

Indeed, anyone with such extraordinary abilities would never be poor.

"Dr. Zhao, for the sake of convenience, may I call you Uncle Zhao from now on? Please come with me." Gu Xixi got out of the car and waited until Dr. Zhao got out before explaining, and then led him into the villa.

Zhao Liangyi readily agreed, saying, "I will do whatever the young lady says."

Upon entering the villa, Elder Chen, Elder Xu, Xu Yue, and others were already sitting in the living room waiting. Gu Xixi led Zhao Liangyi over and introduced them to the two groups.

After everyone had gotten to know each other, it was time for dinner. After dinner, everyone left, but Old Xu kept Xu Yue behind, saying that the association had arranged for her to be a staff member accompanying Zhao Liangyi.

Since I'm a student, I can learn from them.

Tong Yue and Ren Xuan are in charge of Zhao Liangyi's security and will report for duty early tomorrow morning.

Chu Feng has not returned to the team, and Gu Xixi's safety is temporarily the responsibility of Ran Qing, Zhao Jing, and Xu Yi.

After listening to the arrangements, Zhao Liangyi returned to his guest room. Chen Yu then taught him how to use various items and stayed with him until midnight before finally going to sleep in the room next to Zhao Liangyi's.

Gu Xixi returned to her room and finally felt extremely tired. So she put Shen Qingyan's urn in the safe in the small study, washed up, and fell asleep immediately.

The next morning, Gu Xixi finished washing up at seven o'clock and went down to the back garden to train.

As Zhao Liangyi ate his breakfast, he kept nodding. This Miss Gu was really different from what he had imagined.

From everyone's accounts, he originally thought Gu Xixi was just a virtuous and kind young lady from a prominent family, but he never expected her to be a woman who was as still as a virgin, as swift as a rabbit, and also skilled in martial arts.

No wonder...
