Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 655 - 654: Nice to Meet You, Fellow Daoist Su [Third Release, Seeking Monthly Votes]
Master Yang, seeing Su Bojian's humble demeanor, slightly relaxed his expression and pulled Ge Dongxu closer, saying, "This is my junior brother, Ge Dongxu. According to the old rules of the Shanghai gangs, you should call him Uncle Master Ge. But times have changed, and the Shanghai gangs are a thing of the past. You are also of considerable age now, becoming a senior in Qimen. I won't make it difficult for you. You may address each other as Daoist."
Looking at Ge Dongxu's youthful face, remembering that this was the man his grandson had vehemently spoken of teaching a harsh lesson to, Su Bojian felt an urge to cry.
If he had known beforehand that the man who set prohibitions on his grandson was the junior brother of the once famous Master Yang of the Shanghai gangs, he certainly wouldn't have been so reckless, nor would he have just listened to his grandson's side of the story. To put it precisely, he should have not listened to his grandson's explanations at all, but rather should have personally visited Ge Dongxu to beg for his mercy.

It was inevitable, thinking back then, Shanghai was the financial center of Huaxia Country and even the world. Not only foreign powers poured in, but Huaxia's distinguished individuals and aspiring figures also converged in Shanghai, struggling against the invading empires. This included people from Qimen. But the older generation had their sect biases and needed to guard and continue their sect's legacy, usually not joining gangs, while their younger generation, for the sake of national righteousness, joined the local gang organizations resisting the imperial invasions and even joined the army, driven by their fervor.
Dongyue Province is a coastal province not far from Shanghai. At that time, Su Bojian, brimming with youthful vigor and skilled, also surged into Shanghai. At that time, Yang Yinhou was already a major figure in the Qing Gang of Shanghai, his cultivation had reached Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, equivalent to what Su Bojian has now. However, back then, Su Bojian was merely at Qi Cultivation Third Layer and was twelve years younger than Yang Yinhou.
According to the rules at the time, in any gang, the older generation should be addressed as master or grandfather/uncle. Su Bojian, who practiced the fiercely offensive Sword Immortal style, emerged in the Shanghai gang scene and was taken as a disciple by a big-shot of the same generation as Yang Yinhou. According to the rules, Su Bojian should address Yang Yinhou as Master Yang or Grandfather Yang.
Yang Yinhou greatly admired Su Bojian and occasionally gave him a bit of guidance, so Su Bojian did not call him Master Yang but addressed him as Master Yang.
Latter, Yang Yinhou joined the national army and went far to the jungles of Myanmar to fight against the Japanese, and was appointed as a Brigadier General. With his own strength, he killed one hundred and twenty-four fully armed Japanese soldiers. Su Bojian also heard about this from that master in the gang. At that time, Su Bojian felt both a surge of courage and a chilling thrill.
Although he was quite self-confident, killing a few fully armed Japanese soldiers still seemed feasible to him, but the idea of one hundred and twenty-four fully armed Japanese soldiers made Su Bojian's pores tremble with fear, unable to even imagine it.
Even today, now that Su Bojian's cultivation had reached Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, thinking about it, he still didn't believe he had the capability to annihilate one hundred and twenty-four fully armed Japanese soldiers.
Because he was flesh and blood, and even though his Flying Sword was fast and sharp, it only had a range of about thirty feet. If discovered by the Japanese and surrounded and shot at, he would have only one way out – death.
So many years later, not to mention the former fame of Yang Yinhou and his relationship with Su Bojian, just recalling Yang Yinhou's tactics in the jungles of Myanmar, and that Yang Yinhou's junior brother had disciplined his grandson, could he really dare to seek revenge?
As Su Bojian looked at Ge Dongxu, feeling an urge to cry because of his age, everyone around, except for Zhu Dongyu who, knowing of Yang Yinhou's past reputation in the Shanghai gangs, was surprised but quickly came to terms with it, everyone else was utterly dumbfounded, their minds a complete mess, unable to think straight.
Especially Su Boli and Xu Xingran, seeing their own father and teacher having to call Yang Yinhou Master Yang, and hearing that Yang Yinhou was a force to be reckoned with in Shanghai when Su Boli was still crawling, felt their minds were about to explode, feeling utterly disgraced.
As for Lv Semi-Immortal and others, who initially were very anxious, seeing the legendary "Sword Immortal" figure appear, and witnessing Ge Dongxu's senior brother having to be called Master Yang, if talking about seniority, Ge Dongxu was even higher in status, were first stunned to a complete mess, then felt their blood boiling with fervor, looking at Ge Dongxu with wild admiration.
Holy cow! This is too freaking awesome! No wonder the boss is so composed! Even Su Bojian has to call him Senior Brother Master Yang, behaving like a mouse in front of a cat, what does Su Jieliang amount to then!
"Daoist Ge, it is a pleasure to meet you." As everyone was shocked to confusion, Su Bojian greeted Ge Dongxu with a complex expression and an impressive bow.
"Daoist Su, it is a pleasure to meet you as well." Ge Dongxu responded with a bow, his expression calm, treating Su Bojian as if he were an ordinary person.
Watching his father and Ge Dongxu exchange bows, Su Boli almost rolled his eyes and fainted right there.
Fuck, God, can you even play with someone like this?
"Junior brother, what do you think?" After Ge Dongxu and Su Bojian had greeted each other, Yang Yinhou turned to Ge Dongxu with a very respectful attitude, almost as if asking for permission.
Though Ge Dongxu was nominally the junior brother, he was the reverence of the sect. Privately, the hierarchical differences between brothers might not matter, but in public, particularly in matters involving Ge Dongxu himself, Yang Yinhou naturally showed full respect to his Sect Leader junior brother and did not presume to take liberties or make decisions on his own.
To the younger generation, Yang Yinhou's question might seem casual, but the elder ones who saw him asking Ge Dongxu for his opinion were all shocked, displaying astonishment in their eyes.
Respect for elders and seniors is a traditional custom of Huaxia Country since ancient times. Treating an elder brother as a father is not just lip service.
In those times, the word of an elder was an order, was law! Unlike now when children might talk back or argue even if their parents just enforce a bit more authority or speak a bit more firmly.
If this had happened in the past, it surely would have resulted in a slap!
Yang Yinhou, nearly a hundred years old and a senior brother, even Su Bojian has to address him as Master Yang. Now he was actually asking Ge Dongxu for his opinion before making a decision. For their older generation, how could this be seen as a trivial action?
Especially for Su Bojian, with his age and temperament, his pupils sharply constricted in shock.
He understood all too well the prestige and status Yang Yinhou had back in his day!
"Uninvolved people may disperse. As for Sect Leader Su and the other two, the ignorant are blameless. Let's leave it at that, considering Daoist Su's face. What do you think, senior brother?" Ge Dongxu said with a light smile.
"Since you say so, naturally, I'll follow your suggestion," Yang Yinhou nodded and then put away the jade talisman he held.
Once Yang Yinhou put away his jade talisman, the green vines that were binding Su Boli and Xu Xingran blew away with the wind, vanishing without a trace.
