Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Is This the Leader of the Southern Faction?

Lin Dong was still chatting leisurely with Mayor Fang.

Chu Yunxiu couldn’t help but ask, ”Mayor Fang, if I may be so bold, how did you come to know Lin Dong?”

”Why would you attend Elder Qiao’s birthday banquet just on Lin Dong’s invitation?”

Asking this took quite a bit of courage on her part.

It was rather abrupt, but her curiosity was overwhelming.

Not just her, everyone had this same question.

People from the Zhou Family were also glancing over, eager for an answer.

Upon hearing this question, Mayor Fang slightly frowned.

He wasn’t at liberty to disclose the identity of Master Lin.

Luckily, he had another explanation ready.

He said with a smile, ”Mr. Lin Dong has treated me for a sickness; he’s my benefactor!”

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

So it was because of treating Mayor Fang that he had climbed this connection. No wonder Mayor Fang was so courteous to Lin Dong.

”So that’s it, such a young doctor fortuitously cured Mayor Fang’s illness, truly an honor for him! It must be his good luck!” Zhou Na thought to herself at this moment.

She no longer felt as shocked by Mayor Fang’s presence on Lin Dong’s account.

Others thought similarly.

However, at this moment, an elder from the medical system suddenly said,

”I remember now, this Lin Dong, he is the Leader of the Southern Faction of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Not long ago in the Provincial Capital, he competed in a medical contest against Wang Taisui, a Northern Faction’s Chinese Medicine doctor. He defeated Wang Taisui and is now known as the top Chinese medicine practitioner in Dragon Country!”

This elder from the medical system was a guest of the Zhou Family.

He had chanced upon that news a while ago.

The young man he had seen on the news wasn’t that the same one who looked like Lin Dong?

He hadn’t remembered earlier, but after carefully observing Lin Dong, he now recalled the incident.

As soon as he said this, everyone from the Zhou Family was taken aback.

Zhou Na murmured, ”He’s so young, yet called the number one in Traditional Chinese Medicine in Dragon Country? Is this true or false?”

Zhou Ming, who was a medical student, found it even more incredible.

Zhou Shichang and others also wore expressions of disbelief. Lin Dong was so young, could he really have beaten Elder Wang, the reputed top practitioner in Dragon Country? Surely there was some mistake?

”Leader of the Southern faction? What’s that, something impressive?” Chu Yunxiu muttered to herself.

Just then, suddenly, someone exclaimed from a distance,

”Look, all of you look. So many luxury cars!”

As soon as this was said, everyone looked toward the door of the holiday village.

There was only one road leading to the holiday village.

The road wasn’t wide, yet at that moment it was brimming with luxury cars.

As far as the eye could see, the road spanning a whole kilometer was jam-packed.

Among those luxury cars, the lowest grade were the likes of BMWs and Mercedes-Benz.

Ferraris, Passats, Porsches were aligned like a dragon.

Top-tier vehicles like Rolls-Royces were there in no small number.

Their license plates weren’t local to Jianghai either.

Most of them were from the Southern Provincial Capital City.

”They’re all from the Provincial City. Who are these people?”

Everyone was incredibly curious, watching those luxury vehicles.

Learning from his previous awkwardness, Zhou Shichang acted wisely this time, refraining from going up to greet them, to avoid the previous faux-pas.

Instead, he looked toward Lu Feng and asked, ”Could it be that instructor you mentioned?”

Lu Feng shook his head, ”It shouldn’t be. Our instructor wouldn’t arrive so soon. And besides, they wouldn’t bring so many luxury cars!”

Hearing this, Zhou Shichang nodded, a thought dawning on him.

Could they be coming for Lin Dong?

Zhou Na also stared intently at the luxury vehicles, it was clear that they couldn’t all be from one family or clan.

A single family or clan couldn’t possibly bring so many luxury cars?

Even the fleet of Jianghai’s richest man Shen Yun and the Zhou Family hadn’t been this massive.

Indeed, they were not from one family or one clan.

Instead, these were the medical and pharmaceutical field connections of Lin Dong from the Southern Provincial Capital City!

As the cars continued to arrive, the Qiao Family’s MC announced each arrival,

”From the Southern Provincial Capital City, Mr. Zhuge Qingxuan, the Medicine King from the Medicine King Hall, accompanied by his grandson, has come to wish Elder Qiao happy birthday!”

”From the Southern Provincial Capital City, Medicine Supervisor Director Li, with his granddaughter, has come to wish Elder Qiao happy birthday!”

”From the Southern Provincial Capital City, Elder Wang, the Fire Cupping King, has come to wish Elder Qiao happy birthday!”

”From the Southern Provincial Capital City, the President of the Chinese Medicine Association, accompanied by many members, has come to wish Elder Qiao happy birthday!”

”From the Southern Provincial Capital City, the Chairwoman of Nanjing Baiyao, has come to wish Elder Qiao happy birthday!”

”From the Southern Provincial Capital City, the Chairman of Nanjing Pharmaceutical, has come to wish Elder Qiao happy birthday!”

”...”

There were indeed too many people—either they were renowned doctors from across the province, high-ranking officials from the Province’s Medical System, or Chairmen of Pharmaceutical Groups...

Each one could cause a stir in a part of Jianghai.

Yet now, such personas, just for announcing their names, had the MC shouting continuously for almost ten minutes!

There was no helping it, each person was notable and couldn’t be ignored.

They were all big shots! Would you dare skip someone’s name?

The Zhou Family and their guests all stared, dumbfounded.

Zhou Na’s mouth hung open wide enough to fit a duck egg.

”This... all the medical field big shots from the entire province are here?”

Zhou Shichang was also stunned, ”To anyone unaware, they might think an international conference of the medical field is taking place here!”

As everyone was in disbelief,

These prestigious guests emerged from their vehicles in droves.

Then, they walked up to Lin Dong.

Each of them bowed slightly, addressing with a cupped fist salute,

”I, the Medicine King, greet Chief Lin!!!”

”I, the Fire Cupping King, greet Chief Lin!!!”

”I, the President of the Provincial Chinese Medicine Association, greet Chief Lin!”

”I, the Chairman of Nanjing Pharmaceutical, greet Chief Lin!”

”We... greet Chief Lin.”

”Wishing Chief Lin’s family, and Elder Qiao, a joyful sixtieth birthday, blessings as vast as the East Sea, and a longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountain!!!”

The momentum behind these birthday wishes shocked everyone, including the birthday star, Elder Qiao himself.

Among those wishing him a happy birthday, which one wasn’t of higher status than him?

Yet now, all of them were bowing to offer birthday greetings.

Chu Yunxiu was also dumbstruck, her mouth agape as she exclaimed in a murmur,

”So this... this is the weight of the Leader of the Southern faction? This is too incredible!!!”
