Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 343 - 342: Master Ge?
Master Yang did not wish to engage in fratricidal conflicts, so he stayed in Myanmar.
Latterly, as Kuomintang forces were defeated and retreated to Taiwan, Master Yang, a Warlord from Qimen with outstanding military achievements, had secretly been granted the rank of Major General by the Kuomintang. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek had sent someone to escort him to Taiwan, but for reasons unknown, he opted to continue remaining in Myanmar.
During the Republic of China era, both the Qing Gang and the Hung Men significantly contributed to resisting the imperial powers, as well as the later Japanese invasion. Many aspiring individuals joined the Qing Gang and Hung Men at that time, including many Kuomintang generals who were former members of the Qing Gang.
As a person from Qimen, who actively engaged in the patriotic movements against imperialists while moving through various circles, Master Yang was a primary recruiting target for both Qing Gang and Hung Men back then. However, owing to sectarian views, he did not join either Gang.
Although Master Yang did not join the Qing Gang or Hung Men, his high level of Cultivation meant gang leaders from both factions were keen to befriend him, giving him an exceptional status within these groups. Especially later, when he enlisted to resist Japan, his interactions with the Qing Gang became more frequent, engaging as an equal with a gang leader of Du Yuesheng’s status, who was very respectful towards him, addressing him as "Brother Yang."
This further elevated Master Yang’s extraordinary status within the Qing Gang.
Thus, during the years Master Yang remained in Myanmar while the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan, his status as a Major General and his exceptional position within the Qing Gang, coupled with his enigmatic abilities, afforded him an unparalleled influence over the Golden Triangle area. Even the commander of the Fifth Kuomintang Army, who had refused to retreat to Taiwan and stayed in Myanmar, regarded him as an elder brother.
Gu Yezeng’s father had also been a significant figure in the Qing Gang before moving to Hong Kong and then joining the Hung Men to become a key figure there too.
It was during this period that Gu Yezeng’s father developed a gang-related relationship with Master Yang. Even with Gu Yezeng’s status today, upon meeting Master Yang, he still had to address him as Master Yang.
Indeed, with Master Yang’s identity, abilities, and influential power, he could have easily been the true king of Northern Myanmar and the Golden Triangle area if he had so chosen. However, Master Yang decisively opted to return to his country and then retire discreetly at the frontier, dealing in raw jade stones.
Because of his former prestige and the fact that many current leaders in Northern Myanmar and the Golden Triangle are his juniors—whose fathers were once under his command, and even those who were not directly served under him knew of his reputation—they held him in high esteem. So, even though Master Yang now lived in obscurity at the frontier, the local warlords knew of him and maintained the respect he deserved.
This was also why others could not access large quantities of raw stones like those available in Yangon, yet Master Yang could.
This legendary old man, who still wielded considerable influence over the upper echelons of the warlord hierarchy in Northern Myanmar and the Golden Triangle, was astonishingly addressed as "senior brother" by Ge Dongxu, which took Gu Yezeng by surprise, even more than if Master Yang had admitted Ge Dongxu was more powerful than him.
After all, Gu Yezeng did not thoroughly grasp the differences in levels of Cultivation among members of Qimen, but he was acutely aware of the old man’s legendary status.
It could be said that nowadays, no one in the Qing Gang or Hung Men was qualified to address the old man as a brother, and even he had to call Master Yang, yet such a young man as Ge Dongxu dared to call him "senior brother!"
"Indeed, Dongxu is my fellow disciple," affirmed Master Yang, nodding at Gu Yezeng and Yu Xin.
Although they were aware that Ge Dongxu was not one to address others casually, hearing Master Yang, a nearly centenarian, confirm this left Gu Yezeng and Yu Xin once again utterly astounded.
"Thank you, Master Ge!" Gu Yezeng respectfully bowed after a long while before addressing Ge Dongxu.
"Master Ge?" Ge Dongxu was taken aback by the name Gu Yezeng had used, and hastily waved his hands, laughing and crying, "No, please, Mr. Gu, I’m only eighteen this year. How could I deserve being called ’Master Ge’?"
"You are Master Gu’s junior, so naturally, you deserve this title," Gu Yezeng said.
Left with no choice, Ge Dongxu helplessly turned to Yang Yinhou for aid.
"If we really consider the levels within the gang, it’s not wrong for Gu to call you Master Ge. However, times have changed, and you are indeed young. Such a title can be used in private, but going public with it, given Gu’s status, might indeed frighten people. Let’s do this, Gu will continue to address you as Mr. Ge Dongxu, and you can call Gu Yezeng by his name or, just like me, call him Little Gu," Yang Yinhou said, smiling as he stroked his white beard.
When Yang Yinhou mentioned Little Gu, Ge Dongxu almost broke out in goosebumps and quickly said, "Let’s go with Old Gu, that’s more appropriate."

"Haha, as you wish, Little Gu was also part of the gang, your interactions are different from those with ordinary people. We can’t mix up seniority like that. So, it doesn’t matter what you call him, just don’t call him ’brother’ or ’uncle’ based on age, or things will really get messy," Yang Yinhou laughed. Enjoy exclusive chapters from novelbuddy
"Then let it be Old Gu!" Ge Dongxu said, inwardly relieved upon hearing this.
"That’s good, that’s good," Gu Yezeng nodded repeatedly.
Ge Dongxu smiled and then shifted his gaze to the little boy lying on the couch, Gu Yiran.
Seeing Ge Dongxu’s gaze turn to Gu Yiran, both Gu Yezeng and Yu Xin’s hearts immediately felt a rise, their eyes showing tension and anticipation.
"Don’t worry, nothing bad will happen," Ge Dongxu turned his head and smiled at Gu Yezeng and Yu Xin as he took off the Life and Death Dual Aspects Sword from his neck, placing one hand on the little boy’s chest and the other holding a small peach wood sword.
Originally, Ge Dongxu’s current level of cultivation meant there was no need to use the Life and Death Dual Aspects Sword, but as the victim was a little boy, he decided it was safer to utilize this magical treasure passed down from his master.
Placing his hand on the chest, streams of True Qi, like probing tentacles, delved into the little boy’s body.
Soon, Ge Dongxu, through the True Qi channeling into the boy’s body, identified toxins seated within the boy’s heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys: a snake, a scorpion, a centipede, a spider, and a toad.
The toxins were surrounded by a faint blood light, emitting a chilly and bloody scent.
Sensing Ge Dongxu’s immensely strong aura, the five toxins, originally dormant within the organs, began to panic and stir restlessly.
"Ignorant of death!" Far away, in Manila, Philippines, an elderly man in the midst of deep sleep suddenly felt a premonition, cursed in Filipino, quite unwillingly got off the busty blonde he was with, and then patted her plump buttocks, saying, "You go next door first, do not disturb me!"
The two blonde women were only too glad as they couldn’t stand the ugly old man and his "toothpick." They quickly got up from the bed and, swaying their plump buttocks, left the room.
