Dawn had just broken when Gu Youyou left the house, for she feared the strange visitor from last night would block her path early this morning.
According to Qin Changlin, Doctor Zhou should have returned last night. Although she had never met Doctor Zhou, Qin Changlin had already arranged for Gu Youyou to be placed under Doctor Zhou as a female disciple, which would provide her with an official status when she would eventually consult at Jisheng Hall.
Gu Youyou's medical skills may not have been inferior to Doctor Zhou's, yet she was very willing to become his disciple because Doctor Zhou was a true man of medical ethics.
With his medical skills, he could have opened his own clinic in a much larger city by now, but he chose to stay in the small Qingshui Town to ensure that the local people had access to medical care.
With time to spare, Gu Youyou first went to a breakfast shop selling wontons and had a bowl before heading over.
