Chapter 63

Otherwise, if we really wait for Su Xuan to advance further on his own, becoming a Commandery Governor or a high official in the court, there would be many great noble families scrambling to form an alliance with him.

Who doesn't like a young talent with no background?

We must occupy the position first.

I imagine no one would go against the Xun clan for this.

"Father has considered everything thoroughly! I will listen to your arrangements!"

After hearing this, Xun Cai naturally had no objections.

She almost said that her father was deep and calculating.

Her father really had Su Xuan's path clearly mapped out.

Of course, the premise was that Su Xuan played by the rules.

Fortunately, even if these schemes succeeded, they would only benefit Su Xuan and the Xun clan, with no downsides.

The next morning, Xun You found Su Xuan and told him the script he had prepared yesterday.

"Oh?"

Su Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this: "Lord Ciming invites me to treat his illness? That is certainly fine! When?"

That was Xun Shuang!

Although he had been in seclusion for more than a decade due to the second Disasters of Partisan Prohibitions.

But now that the prohibitions had been lifted, given the status of the Xun clan among the noble families and Xun Shuang's status in the Confucian and scholarly circles, he should have paid a visit regardless.

As for treating an illness?

In Su Xuan's view, it was just an excuse.

Could the Xun clan not find a good physician?

Perhaps Xun You had said something to Xun Shuang yesterday that made him interested in this up-and-coming talent, and he wanted to see him?

This was a good thing.

"If the General is not busy, why not go now?"

Xun You replied with a smile.

"I naturally have no problem! Let me prepare my tools!"

Su Xuan nodded and then said, "Gongda, you and I can be considered acquaintances now, so don't call me General; just call me by my courtesy name, Su Boyuan."

"Very well! Su Boyuan."

Xun You followed suit.

Soon, Su Xuan packed his medical instruments and, taking Old Dian Wei with him, arrived at the Xun residence with Xun You shortly after.

They soon met Xun Shuang.

Su Xuan also noticed a very dignified and beautiful young lady standing beside Xun Shuang.

From her demeanor and attire, it could be seen that this young lady's status should be quite extraordinary.

However, Su Xuan only glanced at her once and withdrew his gaze.

The young lady also sized Su Xuan up, her pretty face blushing slightly, and she withdrew her gaze, thinking, "Is this Su Xuan? His appearance and temperament are too outstanding."

She felt a sense of heart-fluttering.

"Su Boyuan, this is my great-uncle, Xun Shuang! Great-uncle, this is Su Xuan, Su Su Boyuan."

Xun You introduced the two sides.

Su Xuan immediately stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Su Xuan, Su Su Boyuan of Nanyang, pays his respects to Lord Ciming!"

"Good! Good!"

Xun Shuang stroked his beard and nodded kindly; those who didn't know might think he was just a kind elderly neighbor.

But Su Xuan knew this was just a disguise and a facade.

As the helmsman of the Xun clan, Xun Shuang was not a simple person.

Xun Shuang was also sizing Su Xuan up, and he was quite satisfied with Su Xuan's appearance, temperament, and current behavior.

Heroic, handsome, confident but not arrogant.

Very appropriate.

"Yesterday, I heard Gongda praise your superb medical skills, so I specifically invited you to take a look at this old man! I hope you don't mind."

"I'm troubling you!"

Xun Shuang then said with a smile.

"Lord Ciming, what are you saying? You are an elder and a renowned scholar; it is my honor to be able to examine you. Shall we begin now?"

Su Xuan asked with a humble bow.

"Good!"

Xun Shuang naturally had no objections.

Immediately, Su Xuan stepped forward to examine Xun Shuang.

After a while, he withdrew his hand and said, "There is no major problem; there is some strain on the lumbar and cervical spine. Try to stand or sit for less time in the future, and exercise more;"

"In addition, there is some physical weakness. I will write you a dietary prescription for strengthening the body and replenishing Qi. You can regulate your body according to the prescription in the future;"

"Oh! Right! I also have a set of health-preserving boxing techniques passed down from the divine physician Hua Tuo, the Five Animal Frolics. Lord Ciming can also practice it appropriately every day to strengthen your body."

As he spoke, Su Xuan took out paper and pen to write down the dietary prescription, and then took out a Five Animal Frolics manual he had copied last night from his bosom and handed it to Xun Shuang, giving him instructions.

"This..."

Hearing this, Xun Shuang understood in his heart.

Su Xuan's diagnosis was basically consistent with the results of the famous physicians he had invited a while ago.

Su Xuan's was even more detailed and precise.

"It seems this person truly has real talent in the field of medicine! It's hard to imagine how he could have such medical skills at only 17?"

Xun Shuang thought with some amazement in his heart.

The key was that Su Xuan not only understood medicine, but his martial arts cultivation was also not weak.

In Xun Shuang's spiritual perception, that Qi and blood were as vigorous as a furnace, much stronger than any Transformation Realm expert he had ever seen.

He was simply a monster.

Thinking this, Xun Shuang didn't rush to take the Five Animal Frolics manual Su Xuan handed over, but looked at Su Xuan and said, "The divine physician Hua Tuo? I have heard of him; he is a very famous divine physician;"

"However, he has always been elusive, and I have never had the chance to meet him;"

"Since this Five Animal Frolics was given to you by him, wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to pass it on to me like this?"

"Haha! That won't be the case!"

Su Xuan smiled and said, "This was already explained by Mr. Yuanhua;"

"He told me that when I practice medicine in the future, if I encounter people in need, I should feel free to spread the Five Animal Frolics he created;"

"He also said that he created this boxing technique to strengthen the body and benefit the people; he would be more than happy to see it spread further and gain more recognition!"

This was indeed Hua Tuo's intention.

"So that's it! It was this old man who was narrow-minded! Mr. Hua Tuo has great love! It is admirable!"

Hearing this, Xun Shuang suddenly realized. He no longer refused and took the dietary prescription and the manual, then said, "I heard from Gongda that Mr. Yuanhua is currently teaching students at your medical school..."

Next, Xun Shuang engaged Su Xuan in casual conversation.

And through his conversational skills, he gradually gained a more detailed and clear understanding of Su Xuan's talents and situation in all aspects.

Xun Cai, who was on the side, did not speak throughout, just listening quietly.

Su Xuan's image in her heart gradually became full and vivid.

The more she understood Su Xuan, the more she felt he was outstanding.

She also felt his personality was very good, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

For a time, Xun Cai felt increasingly heart-fluttered.

More than two hours later,

Lunchtime arrived, and Xun Shuang also felt they had talked enough.

He immediately ordered a banquet to be prepared to entertain Su Xuan for lunch at the residence.

During this time, he took the opportunity to talk to Xun Cai alone.

"Cai'er, what do you think?"

Xun Shuang asked directly, and at the same time, he continued: "After the previous chat, I have a certain understanding of Su Xuan;"

"This person is indeed worthy of his reputation, both civil and military, and extremely outstanding; even better than I imagined;"

"If you are interested in this person, then I will propose the marriage alliance to him later. What do you think?"
