Strongest Medical Saint

The middle-aged woman who opened the door was named Yang Li.

She was not blood-related to Shen Feng's mother—they were at most distant relatives.

Still, by name, Shen Feng was supposed to call her Auntie Yang Li.

The only reason Yang Li's family was willing to let Shen Feng live with them was because his parents sent money every month.

Aside from the necessary fees for school, a significant portion of the money sent ended up in the pockets of Yang Li's family.

Back then, when Shen Feng came to Wuzhou to attend high school, having a piece of meat was considered a luxury.

"Who is it?" Soon, a middle-aged man with a beer belly also walked out. He was Yang Li's husband, Zhang Chengzhou.

Upon seeing Shen Feng, his initial reaction was as if he had seen a ghost, but then he gradually calmed down, "Shen Feng, you're actually alive? What are you doing here?"

Shen Feng did not want to waste words with Zhang Chengzhou and his family. He directly asked, "Is there a phone installed in my house now? Do you have contact information for my parents?"

Three years ago, when he disappeared, there was no phone installed in Shen Feng's house. That was also the purpose of his visit tonight.

As Zhang Chengzhou was about to answer, a man in his twenties came out of the elevator and walked straight toward them. He was the son of Zhang Chengzhou and Yang Li, Zhang Pengtao. Seeing Shen Feng's back laden with an old Snake Skin Bag, he asked, "Mom, Dad, is that a junk collector?"

Yang Li's tone was filled with disgust, "What junk collector? It's someone we thought was already dead."

After seeing Shen Feng's face, Zhang Pengtao certainly didn't think he was a ghost. After all, they never found Shen Feng's body; it seemed like he had vanished into thin air from this world.

"So you're not dead? I heard that back then, you were rejected in public by the campus belle of the university and she ruthlessly humiliated you? After that, you suddenly disappeared, and we thought you had committed suicide because of that," Zhang Pengtao said with a mocking smile on his face.

Shen Feng's eyes narrowed, and a past incident from his university days slowly emerged from the depths of his memory.

Back then, he went into the mountains to gather herbs to supplement his family's income. Due to his bad mood, he did not leave the mountains at night, which led to him being swept into a black vortex and ultimately crossing over to the Immortal Realm.

The reason for his foul mood was precisely the incident Zhang Pengtao mentioned.

In university, the introverted Shen Feng fell for a female classmate of his.

This classmate was exceptionally beautiful, known as the campus belle of the university.

However, she was extremely kind to every student and did not act superior in any way. She had inadvertently helped Shen Feng a few times.

Back then, Shen Feng mistook her kindness for affection. Encouraged by his dorm mates, he even confessed his feelings to her publicly.

But the outcome was obvious.

Shen Feng was harshly rejected, and he couldn't even find a reason to argue.

To this day, he still remembered the words of the campus belle.

"Shen Feng, we are classmates; we cannot have a closer relationship. You are just an ordinary classmate in my eyes. If I gave you the wrong impression before, I apologize."

"I often help stray cats and dogs because I feel sorry for them, and maybe I see the same pity in you."

"Your family is from the mountainous area, right? And do you know who I am, how powerful my family is in Tianhai? You know nothing about this."

"To put it simply, after graduation, there will be no interaction between us. My family would not agree to me being friends with someone like you."

"Considering how pitiful you are, after I graduate, I could use my family's connections to find you a doctor's job in another city. Please don't say you like me again. It makes me sick. Someone like you isn't even worthy of liking me."

Perhaps Shen Feng's confession was too direct back then, but this way of rejection was too much of a blow to his dignity.

You see, Shen Feng was just a poor boy back then, gritting his teeth and eager to create a better life for his parents, harboring a heart prouder than anyone else's, just never showing it.

But even then, Shen Feng never considered suicide. He was just feeling a little down.

Recalling this part of his past, his hands suddenly clenched into fists as he thought to himself, "Qin Xuewei, thanks to you, I crossed over to the Immortal Realm for a thousand years. Even if you didn't like me back then, was there a need to humiliate me like that? Couldn't you have just rejected me directly?"

The emotions in his heart surged violently, and now, with the past being dredged up, anger began to rise from within him.

Then, the anger slowly subsided, and he let out a wry smile, "It seems there are still many things I haven't completely let go of."

"Qin Xuewei, now that I've returned, I really want to see how vast your family really is? I want to see what gives you the right to trample on my dignity."

There's a saying that goes, "When you were indifferent to me in the beginning, now I make you out of reach."

The completely transformed Shen Feng was no longer the incompetent young man of his past.

When Shen Feng suddenly disappeared back then, his family searched for three days before contacting the school in desperation.

Shen Feng's parents tried every possible way, even calling the Zhang family since Shen Feng had lived with them for quite some time. Therefore, the Zhang family vaguely knew that Shen Feng's public confession had led to rejection, so they thought he might have chosen suicide.

This incident was probably not widespread among Shen Feng's high school classmates, or else Su Jingyu would have known.

After graduating from high school, Shen Feng lost all contact with his high school classmates, so his parents did not inquire among them.

Suicide?

What a joke!

Shen Feng knew that this rumor must have spread among his college classmates. In their eyes, Shen Feng had taken his own life after being rejected, as he had disappeared for three years and everyone thought he was dead. It wasn't a strange notion.

Not wanting to dwell on the matter any longer, he knew he would meet Qin Xuewei again sooner or later. The most important thing now was to let his parents know he was safe, and then, once he got his ID card the next day, he would immediately bring his parents to Wuzhou.

He was aware that his parents must have had a tough time these past three years. He wanted to make up for it, to spend some days by their side.

"Is there a phone installed in my house now? Do you have my parents' contact information?" Shen Feng asked again.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
