Strongest Medical Saint-Chapter 296: Advance and Retreat

While Shen Liyang and the others were talking,

two more people entered the hall. One of them was an old man with white hair but an extremely robust physique. He was Shen Jifu, the Fifth Elder of the Shen Family in the Martial Arts World, with cultivation at the Middle Stage of Innate; the other was a man in his thirties, Shen Jifu’s grandson, Shen Yuqi, whose cultivation was at the Seventh Layer of Acquired.

After Shen Tianzhi started cultivating with the Shen Family in the Martial Arts World, most of the time, it was Shen Jifu who guided his cultivation.

One could say that Shen Jifu was essentially Shen Tianzhi’s master.

As the Fifth Elder of the Shen Family in the Martial Arts World, Shen Jifu held a certain status. Unfortunately, his grandson Shen Yuqi possessed only average talent. Now at thirty-three years of age, his cultivation was still only at the Seventh Layer of Acquired.

If he were to pass away one day, would his lineage decline? Ever since he discovered that Shen Tianzhi had excellent talent, he spared no effort in cultivating him.

Even though Shen Tianzhi wasn’t his direct descendant, this still provided a layer of security. As long as Shen Tianzhi could rise in the future, their lineage would certainly be looked after.

Seeing the Fifth Elder Shen Jifu come in, Shen Liyang and the others courteously greeted him.

Shen Tianzhi looked at Shen Wunian and asked, "Uncle, you must definitely know where Shen Feng is now, right?"

Shen Wunian had indeed found out Shen Feng’s whereabouts and said, "Tianzhi, that little rascal went to the capital of the United States. He must know his own identity and is going to find his birth mother there."

"However, that wretched woman Xu Huifang is in no position to protect herself right now. That little rascal won’t be able to find her anytime soon, and it’s likely they will never be able to reunite."

Hearing this, Shen Tianzhi said, "I feel like I’m on the verge of a breakthrough. Just wait one more day, and I’ll head to the United States tomorrow."

The others, upon hearing his words, immediately showed looks of surprise.

Shen Tianzhi was only in his twenties! Moreover, he hadn’t received the best resources within the Shen Family in the Martial Arts World. For him to step into the Ninth Layer of Acquired at such an age was definitely a sign of exceptional talent.

Shen Jifu immediately grasped Shen Tianzhi’s wrist and after carefully sensing for a while, he laughed and said, "You are truly my good disciple!"

"Tianzhi, you indeed show signs of a breakthrough. Even if you can’t make it tomorrow, I guarantee that within a week, you will certainly step into the Ninth Layer of Acquired."*

"Once we return from the United States, we’ll head straight back to the Shen Family in the Martial Arts World. Then, I will make sure to apply for more cultivation resources on your behalf with the Family Head, in the hopes of you entering the ranks of the Innate Grandmaster before you turn thirty."

"Tomorrow, Yuqi and I will accompany you on your trip to the United States. When we return to the Shen Family in the Martial Arts World, I’m afraid many will be incredibly surprised. To step into the ranks of Innate before the age of thirty is also a rare sight in the long history of our Shen Family in the Martial Arts World."

"As for that kid named Shen Feng, he’s just someone with a bit of medical skill, a matter of seconds to deal with."

Shen Yuqi also said, "Congratulations, Tianzhi, on your upcoming advancement. Some guys are just not worth associating with you; people like that should know their place and disappear from this world sooner rather than later."

This time, Shen Jifu and Shen Yuqi had come to the Capital City Shen Family together. They had heard quite a lot these days. However, the matter of Shen Feng’s body containing Immortal Yuan Blood was known only to the White Eyebrow Elder and the other two involved parties. Naturally, they wouldn’t publicize this, so Shen Jifu and Shen Yuqi were naturally unaware of it.

Shen Yuancheng, wearing a full-faced smile, said to Shen Liyang, "Liyang, see? Abandoning that little rascal back then was completely worth it. Otherwise, would you have a son as talented as Tianzhi? In the future, our lineage will surely be greatly enhanced by Tianzhi. As for that Shen Feng, he’s been nothing but trash from the beginning, and we shouldn’t think that just because he’s learned a little medical skill, he is worthy of our attention."

With Shen Jifu, who was at the Middle Stage of Innate, accompanying Shen Tianzhi to the United States, there was nothing for Shen Yuancheng and the others to worry about.

...

Meanwhile,

In a room of a five-star hotel in the capital of the United States,

Ji Yunhan was chatting with Shen Anmin and Zhang Xuezheng. From the moment they disembarked the plane, Shen Feng had left on his own, insisting that they not follow him, which left them feeling a little uneasy.

However, Ji Yunhan knew that Shen Feng certainly wouldn’t encounter any danger, as there probably doesn’t exist anyone in the world who could harm Senior Shen Xiaoyao!

By now, Ji Yunhan had also learned of Shen Feng’s identity.

She had someone specifically investigate the past events of the Shen Family, and not long after, she received a report on her phone, which included many different versions of what had happened.

She chose not to share the information from the report with Shen Anmin and Zhang Xuezheng, knowing that this couple were just ordinary people and that telling them would only make them worry more.

Zhang Xuezheng was somewhat restless, aware that her son had gone to meet his birth mother. Although she supported her son’s decision, she truly feared that Shen Feng might not return.

Having experienced once the ordeal of her son being completely out of touch, she couldn’t bear a second blow.

Watching Zhang Xuezheng pacing back and forth in the room,

Shen Anmin couldn’t help but say, "Sit down for a bit! Don’t be so nervous!"

But as he spoke, his tightly tensed body and hands gripping the tea cup tightly showed that he was no better off than Zhang Xuezheng!

They had always treated Shen Feng as their own son, and in their eyes, Shen Feng was indeed their biological son.

After more than twenty minutes.

The doorbell of the room rang.

The hearts of Zhang Xuezheng and Shen Anmin suddenly raced—is their son back?

Ji Yunhan wanted to answer the door, but Zhang Xuezheng said, "Let me open it myself."

Having said that, she took steps forward, one by one reaching the door, and opened it.

Ji Yunhan and Shen Anmin followed behind her.

Standing outside the door indeed were Shen Feng and his party.

Zhang Xuezheng’s gaze met with Xu Huifang’s, and compared to Xu Huifang, Zhang Xuezheng seemed all too ordinary, lacking the demeanor of a lady from a great family, having lived in the mountains for half her life, she only knew to work diligently for her son.

Xu Huifang knew that this woman before her must be her son’s adoptive mother, and her heart was full of gratitude towards Zhang Xuezheng and Shen Anmin.

She bent forward to thank Zhang Xuezheng with a bow.

But Zhang Xuezheng steadied Xu Huifang and at that moment, her expression was resolute, lacking the reserve of a village woman, "There’s no need to thank me, really no need to thank me. Feng is also my son."

Previously, supporting Shen Feng in recognizing his birth mother, that was Zhang Xuezheng stepping back.

Now, not needing Xu Huifang’s gratitude, that was Zhang Xuezheng stepping forward.

When it was time to move forward, one had to take the step. She feared that after accepting Xu Huifang’s gratitude, Shen Feng and she would never have any relationship.

In these few seconds,

Zhang Xuezheng seemed to become a different person, from her aura to everything else, yet from her slightly trembling legs, one could see how nervous she really was. For a village woman to face someone with such a strong presence as Xu Huifang and still say these words, show this expression, how much courage did she have to muster!

All of this was because she didn’t want to completely lose Shen Feng as her son, everything she did made her intentions very clear, she still wanted to be Shen Feng’s mother in the future.
