Chapter 104 Gao Tianlei plays tricks on Su Wen!
"What kind of miracle doctor is this? Your brother and I have seen many over the years, but in the end, there are only a few who are really capable."
"They are all good-for-nothings and charlatans!"
Hearing this, Song Changrong hurriedly glanced at Su Wen and said, "Divine Doctor Su, my brother Gao has always been straightforward and honest. He has no ill intentions."
"I hope Brother Su won't take it to heart..."
Su Wen smiled. Since the Martial Saint had said so, he didn't want to take it to heart anymore. He nodded to indicate that it was okay.
Gao Tianlei, on the other hand, couldn't help but frown when he saw Song Changrong's attitude towards Su Wen. "Brother is a Martial Saint, how could this kid deserve to be valued so highly by Brother?"
There was nothing much to say at the moment, so he followed Song Changrong to the private room and sat down.
Afterwards, more than a dozen people came into the private room one after another. Most of them were elderly people over 70 years old, but there were also young people and middle-aged people, but only two or three of them.
"Everyone is here, Jiaojiao, go tell the kitchen to serve the food..."
"Everyone, I'm old now and don't want to make a big fuss, so I invited a few friends to come to Zhonghai City for a drink..."
"Thank you all for your support. I, Song Changrong, will drink first as a token of my respect!"
Song Changrong opened a bottle of Maotai liquor, poured a glass and drank it all in one gulp. Others did not dare to be negligent and took a sip one after another.
"Hahaha, it's an honor for all of us to receive your invitation, brother. I, Gao Tianlei, would like to congratulate you... Hey, to be honest, brother, I really envy you. You're a hundred years old, and you can still move your arms and legs. Look at me..."
"I have to rely on this dragon-headed cane to walk, even if I have to speak for a breath. Back then, we were so full of vigor and ambition, but now..."
"My words don't count anymore in the Gao family. I can't even call on my former followers now. I asked for a doctor a while ago, but they didn't even give me face..."
Gao Tianlei laughed at himself, his cloudy eyes mingled with a trace of unwillingness. Now he was old and frail, and his life span was not long.
This big man who once stirred up the world gradually faded out of the picture amid the undercurrent.
"Yes, brother, among us brothers, you are the only one who is still in the limelight. Back then, you suppressed those Japanese people and made them look ashamed. Decades have passed, and your charm remains the same."
"Alas, I'm not as good as Elder Gao. My family... was divided up by the younger generations a long time ago. Now I live in a nursing home. This time, I came here empty-handed."
Someone else stood up, his words full of sadness. This person was once a prominent figure, but now he is old and his future is miserable.
Hearing this, Song Changrong felt very uncomfortable. If he had not met Doctor Su, wouldn't he be in the same situation?
"Everyone, I gathered you here today because I wanted to help you once. This is the genius doctor Su Wensu. His medical skills are unparalleled."
"However, Dr. Su has a condition for treating me. I need you to provide some rare herbs or precious treasures..."
"Brothers, you're all complaining to me, but I know very well that none of you don't have some good stuff. Now is the time, don't hide it, report it and see if it's worth it for Doctor Su to take action!"
"I've brought you this opportunity, don't miss it!"
Song Changrong winked at Su Wen and smiled kindly. He also learned from Lin Qinghai that Su Wen was looking for some precious herbs, so he took advantage of this 100th birthday banquet to repay Su Wen for saving his life in this way.
Upon hearing this, Su Wen was also stunned, and immediately understood Song Changrong's intention. He was suddenly a little moved. This old man was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and actually used his 100th birthday banquet to help him.
"Everyone, I have a list here. You can take a look. If you have any of the herbs listed here... give them to me and I can help you out once."
Su Wen handed over the list he had with him.
The crowd, who were already curious, looked at the list and then set their eyes on Su Wen.
Having lived to a certain age, they are all shrewd people. Although they respect the Martial Saint, their vigilance has not diminished in the slightest.
Obviously, he is wary of Su Wen!
"Grandpa Song, I, Mou Jingze, can trust your words, but I cannot trust this person."
"My Mou family has countless treasures, but we would never provide them to a beggar. I am here on behalf of the family, but I have other things to do now, so I will not disturb you."
Mou Jingze smiled, seemingly showing respect for Song Changrong, but in fact he was cursing the old man in his heart.
Isn’t this guy related to Song Jiaojiao?
You actually want to pave the way for him!
After saying that, he stood up and left.
"Humph... This Mou Jingze is so arrogant!"
Gao Tianlei was very angry.
"Old Gao, the Mou family is no longer what it used to be. They've produced several martial arts masters, one of whom..."
At the end of his words, the man fell silent.
The descendants of the Mou family rose to prominence and their status had long surpassed that of the Wusheng family.
Looking at the Wusheng family, their descendants were not up to the standard, and even some of their former vassal families had withdrawn.
"That's what he said, but we can still coexist peacefully. I think he just can't stand Su Wen..."
"Doctor Su, your abilities aren't just a boast. Frankly, I'm just trying to pave the way for you. Although I don't know who you are, if you want us old guys to willingly assist you, you have to show your abilities..."
"I can tell you clearly that the star flower on your list is now growing in my yard. I have been growing it for fifty years!"
Gao Tianlei leaned on the chair, his hands pressed on the dragon-headed cane, his hands trembling, and his cloudy eyes stared at Su Wen with disdain.
He looked down upon a young man with no background.
He placed the star flower here, and the other party didn't have the ability to take it away!
Among all the herbs Su Wen needed, star flower was not the rarest, but it was definitely the hardest to obtain.
Because this flower is extremely difficult to grow and is poisonous, most people don't grow it.
This old guy actually has one?
Su Wen was also quite surprised.
"Old man, I wonder what is considered skill in your world?"
Su Wen glanced at Gao Tianlei. This old guy looked quite individual, no wonder he grew star flowers.
"Hahaha, young man, you think just like me. If I give you some sweet treats, you'll think I'm kind, right?!"
"I do have a star flower, but I plan to use it to be buried with me. It's impossible for you to want it!"
"I'm telling you this because I want to teach you a lesson. In this world, even if you have money and ability, you can't buy me happiness!"
Gao Tianlei laughed so happily that he suddenly started coughing. He just wanted to play a trick on the young man to have fun and add to the fun for everyone.
"Hahaha, you're worthy of being called Lao Gao. With just a few words, you can play people in the palm of your hand. Young man, just give up. I know Lao Gao. If he says he won't give it to you, even if you kneel down and beg him, he won't give it to you!"
Someone laughed along.
"Oh...really? What if I exchange it? What if I exchange it for the legendary immortal longevity cream?"
Su Wen smiled, took out a gourd from his arms, poured out a soft pill from it and placed it on the table.
