After washing up, Tang Yu took Jiang Xiaoyue to have breakfast.
When they reached the dining room, a long-haired young man with a ponytail was eating breakfast.
The moment he saw Tang Yu, he stood up to greet him.
"Big Brother, Divine Physician Jiang, long time no see."
Tang Yu paused in surprise when he saw the young man, then smiled and nodded. "Long time no see."
"Come on, eat up. Breakfast's almost cold. Afterward, let's go see Grandpa together."
The young man warmly set out bowls and chopsticks for Tang Yu and Jiang Xiaoyue.
Tang Yu sat down and quietly started eating, keeping the smiling young man with the ponytail in the corner of his eye.
The guy calling him Big Brother wasn't his biological younger brother.
He was his second uncle's son—in other words, his cousin, Tang Ruoyu.
Tang Yu had a pretty strong impression of him.
In the original story, not long after Tang Yu died, Old Master Tang had been so enraged that he took to his bed and never got up again.
Tang Yu's parents had spared no effort in using every means at their disposal to avenge him!
But no matter how powerful the Tang Family was, it couldn't stand against a Son of Luck.
The Dragon Soul Organization backing that guy was far stronger than the Tang Family!
Playing the fool while secretly waiting to strike only worked if you had powerful backing!
So Tang Ruoyu, who had long been suppressing his ambitions, seized the opportunity to join Ye Chen, becoming the Dragon King's dog before stabbing the Tang Family in the back!
He had played a major role in sinking the Tang Family's great ship!
I need to find a chance to bury this kid.
Tang Yu grumbled inwardly.
Damn it, the Tang Family's trillions in assets were the reward he'd earned by keeping his head down until the end—something he was supposed to take back with him!
He couldn't fight a Son of Luck head-on.
But was it really that hard to deal with a traitor like you?
Your uncle here just loves picking on the weak.
Jiang Xiaoyue, who was drinking her porridge, looked up at Tang Yu with a puzzled expression.
Who was Big Brother Tang Yu planning to bury?
Once they'd finished breakfast, the three of them went to the small courtyard at the back to see the old master.
When they arrived, Old Master Tang was sitting in a grand armchair, playing on his phone.
Every so often, the sounds of fighting and characters shouting from the game came from the device in his hand.
The old man wore a savage expression as he cursed under his breath.
"Go in! You're playing a tank and you still can't initiate a team fight?"
"Marksman, are you a grade-schooler? Skipping school to play ranked in the daytime?"
"A bunch of trash! Even at eighty, I wouldn't make such a brain-dead move."
The three who walked in were instantly stunned.
This old man was surprisingly up to date!
When the match ended, Old Master Tang set his phone on the table and angrily rubbed his chest.
"Grandpa, you really should stop playing games. It's bad for your health," Tang Yu hurried over to advise him.
"That's right, Grandpa Tang. You need to take care of yourself."
"Grandpa, you should get more rest."
Tang Yu and Jiang Xiaoyue quickly chimed in as well.
"Got it, got it. I'll uninstall it and never play again."
Old Master Tang nodded, picked up his phone, and uninstalled the lousy game. Just looking at it made him furious.
"Have some tea and rest first. I'll check your pulse."
Jiang Xiaoyue poured Old Master Tang a cup from the teapot, then sat down beside him and began taking his pulse.
Tang Yu quietly studied his grandfather.
After receiving the Qingnang Heavenly Scripture as a reward, all he had to do now was focus his eyes, and he could tell what was wrong with someone's body.
Grandpa's stomach problem is an old one. There's clearly a chill lingering around his stomach now.
According to the Qingnang Heavenly Scripture, it's a deficiency of stomach yin, caused by a lack of fluids from yin deficiency.
The best treatment is to warm and nourish it. Use a century-old Black Colored Lingzhi as the medicinal catalyst, then add six herbs, including Solomon's seal and glehnia root, to make an herbal tea. He only needs to take it for a month.

But is this damn Qingnang Heavenly Scripture really reliable?
Jiang Xiaoyue, who was taking the old man's pulse, heard his thoughts and couldn't help her pupils from contracting.
She looked at Tang Yu in shock.
Big Brother Tang Yu knew medicine?
And he could tell what was wrong just by looking, without even taking a pulse?
In traditional Chinese medicine, the highest level of inspection was the Realm of Divine Entry!
Only those who reached the Realm of Divine Entry could do this!
And Grandpa had told her that no one practicing traditional Chinese medicine in Huaxia had reached the Realm of Divine Entry in hundreds of years.
As for the Qingnang Heavenly Scripture...
It was a divine medical text that practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine could only dream of!
As an avid student of traditional Chinese medicine, she couldn't help swallowing.
She really wanted to have a deeper discussion about medicine with Big Brother Tang Yu.
"Xiaoyue, are you done?"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoyue had been taking his pulse for quite a while without saying anything, Old Master Tang asked with a smile.
"All done."
Jiang Xiaoyue came back to herself and hurriedly said, "It's caused by a deficiency of stomach yin. Grandpa Tang, have you often had a dry mouth and an upset stomach lately?"
"Yes, it's an old problem."
Jiang Xiaoyue smiled sweetly.
"For this kind of chronic problem, the focus is on warming and nourishing. I'll make you an herbal tea, and you can take it regularly."
"However, the tea needs a Black Colorful Lingzhi that's over a hundred years old as its medicinal catalyst. We don't have one at home right now, so we'll have to get someone to send it from out of town. It should arrive the day after tomorrow. When it does, Big Brother Tang Yu can come to my house to pick it up."
After hearing the formula Tang Yu had silently recited, she'd thought it over and decided it really was an excellent prescription, with almost no side effects on the body!
All medicine was toxic to some degree. The highest art of a prescription was to cure the illness without harming the patient's body!
No wonder it came from the Qingnang Heavenly Scripture!
Tang Yu was somewhat surprised.
Was the herbal tea she wanted to make the same one he had in mind?
Maybe this Qingnang Heavenly Scripture really wasn't a rip-off.
"Good. That'll give this kid a chance to visit your grandpa for me."
Old Master Tang nodded with a smile.
"Sure. My grandpa was asking about Big Brother Tang Yu just a few days ago."
Jiang Xiaoyue smiled until her eyes narrowed. She could use the chance to ask Tang Yu about medicine.
After chatting with Old Master Tang for a few minutes, she said goodbye and returned to the clinic.
Old Master Tang looked at Tang Yu and Tang Ruoyu. "Do you two have anything else?"
"Grandpa, I'd like to work at Meile Food," Tang Ruoyu said.
The Meile Food he was referring to was one of the Tang Group's core businesses. It had been doing quite well in recent years.
Old Master Tang didn't answer right away.
Tang Ruoyu was the second son's child. He'd been working at a Tang Group subsidiary for years and hadn't had the chance to get involved in the core business.
Although he was one of the Tang Family's direct descendants, he'd been pushed to the sidelines because of his father.
Seven years ago, his father had embezzled company funds, secretly transferring Tang Group assets into his own name.
When Old Master Tang discovered this vile conduct, family rules dictated that his legs be broken and he be cast out of the family.
If Tang Yu's family hadn't pleaded desperately on their behalf, they would have had no place in the Tang Family by now.
After pondering for a moment, he pointed at Tang Yu.
"Ask your big brother. He's in charge of the Tang Group now."
"Big Brother, what do you think? If you think I'm not capable enough, I can start out as a middle manager and work my way up."
Tang Ruoyu looked at Tang Yu with a gentle smile.
"Well, no problem. I trust your abilities, bro. Our family will be counting on us brothers to work together from now on."
Tang Yu grinned and put an arm around his shoulder.
Damn it, you're already starting to show your true colors?
Just wait. I'll take you out!
He knew the original story, so he understood exactly what kind of filthy piece of work his seemingly harmless cousin really was.
