463: Chapter 107 Meng Li is a monster in himself

"Don't you guys think this situation is strange?"

Hearing Zhang Chulan's question, Xu San and Xu Si exchanged a look.

Then, Xu San adjusted his glasses: "If this happened to someone else, it would indeed be strange. But if the person is Meng Li, it's not strange at all."

"Why?" Zhang Chulan asked, puzzled.

Xu Si laughed: "Because this guy, Meng Li, is a monster himself."

"How do you mean?" Zhang Chulan looked confused.

Xu San said: "Just look at his achievements and you'll know. Not to mention anything else, let's talk about the medical skills that made him famous."

"In the field of medicine, especially Traditional Chinese Medicine, it takes at least thirty years for an average person to master it. To truly achieve something, it takes even longer. That's why most famous Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors are middle-aged or elderly."

"Before Meng Li, those National Physician masters were all without exception old men and women."

"This doesn't mean their talent was poor; on the contrary, those who can become a National Physician are all people of exceptional talent."

"National Physician, a title that a group of exceptionally talented people spend fifty, sixty, or even seventy or eighty years to obtain."

"Do you know how long it took Meng Li to get it?"

Zhang Chulan shook his head.

Xu Si took over: "Less than ten years."

Zhang Chulan: "..."

An achievement most people can only hope to catch a glimpse of in their entire lives.

A title that even those with exceptional talent need most of their lives to acquire.

Meng Li achieved it in less than ten years.

He really is a monster!

Then, as if remembering something, Xu Si said with an expression of envy, jealousy, and something strange: "Do you know how he got involved with the Tianxia Society?"

Zhang Chulan shook his head.

Xu Si said: "This guy went to a club under the Tianxia Group, ordered ten Advanced technicians at once, and exhausted all of them. This caught the attention of the person in charge, and that's how he entered Feng Zheng Hao's radar."

Zhang Chulan was stunned instantly.

A few seconds later, he said with a strange expression: "That fierce?"

"Is Brother Meng's Innate ability really lightning, not some other weird power?"

Xu San replied: "His Innate ability is indeed lightning, but apart from that, he created some methods, including techniques to strengthen the body. His recorded achievements at the club are said to be related to those techniques."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan's eyes lit up: "Ahem, Brother San, Brother Si, I have a friend..."

Before he could finish, Xu Si interrupted with a look of disdain: "Have a friend? You're making up a friend, right?"

Zhang Chulan felt awkward: "Life is hard enough, don't expose me, hey."

Xu Si patted his shoulder and showed an expression that all men understand: "I know what you're thinking, you just want that Cultivation Technique, right? Honestly, I wanted it too when I first found out, but unfortunately, that Cultivation Technique was tailored by Meng Li for himself, and others can't learn it."

"Really?" Zhang Chulan looked suspicious.

Xu Si rolled his eyes at him: "Do I get a treat if I lie to you? If you don't believe me, go ask Meng Li yourself."

Zhang Chulan smiled and didn't continue on this topic, but asked in confusion: "Hearing you guys say this, Brother Meng is indeed a bit overpowered."

"What is his background, anyway?"

"Same as you, an orphan who grew up in an orphanage," Xu Si replied casually.

"What about before he entered the orphanage?" Zhang Chulan pressed.

Xu Si rubbed his chin, thinking as he spoke: "That's not clear. I only know that my old man handled the paperwork for him entering the orphanage; he seemed to be ten years old at the time. As for things before that, the old man didn't mention it."

At this moment, Feng Baobao suddenly said: "He was struck down by a bolt of lightning."

Zhang Chulan, Xu San, and Xu Si were all stunned when they heard this.

Then, Xu San asked uncertainly: "Baobao, what did you say?"

Feng Baobao replied: "Meng Li, he was struck down from the sky by a bolt of lightning."

The three of them were shocked.

Immediately, Zhang Chulan asked: "Sister Baoer, are you sure?"

Feng Baobao nodded: "Sure, I was there at the time."

"That day, Gouwazi received news and took me to find your grandfather, Zhang Huaiyi. Your grandfather had just died when a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, blasting a big hole in the ground not far away. At that time, Gouwazi and I thought it was because your grandfather's death had angered Heaven, but when we went to look in the pit, we found a boy about ten years old."

"That boy was Meng Li."

After saying this, Zhang Chulan, Xu San, and Xu Si looked at each other, bewildered.

A moment later, Zhang Chulan asked: "Then why was Brother Meng struck by lightning?"

Feng Baobao shook her head: "Don't know."

"Regarding why he was struck by lightning and what he did before, Gouwazi and I both asked Meng Li, but he said he didn't remember."

"After observing him, Gouwazi determined that he, like me, had lost his memory."

Xu San wondered: "I've never heard Dad mention this."

Xu Si said: "This is Meng Li's business, and Meng Li doesn't rely on us, so why would he tell us? Besides, Baobao's problem is already tricky enough. If we add Meng Li to the mix, we'd probably have to keep our guard up every single day."

"However, having said that, this guy Meng Li also lost his memory? I haven't seen him investigate it all these years."

As he spoke, he looked at Feng Baobao: "Baobao, has the old man ever investigated Meng Li's affairs?"

Feng Baobao replied: "Yes, but he didn't find anything."

"Gouwazi also told Meng Li that he could help him investigate his past, but Meng Li is different from me. He thinks people should live in the present and look forward. The past is the past; even if he found out something, he couldn't change it, so there's no need to care."

"Gouwazi thought what Meng Li said made sense, and since Meng Li has been on the right path all these years, he didn't continue to investigate."

"Heh, that's indeed his style," Xu Si said with a light laugh.

Xu San wanted to follow Meng Li's viewpoint to persuade Feng Baobao, who was obsessed with investigating her own past, but then he thought that Feng Baobao was different from Meng Li.

Feng Baobao's investigation into her own past wasn't just a matter of obsession; more importantly, she herself was full of unknowns and mysteries. Not to mention anything else, just the immortality alone was a big issue; once exposed, it would inevitably cause an uproar.

In contrast, although Meng Li also seemed mysterious, he currently didn't possess traits like immortality that would easily drive people crazy.

Therefore, Xu San had to abandon the idea of persuading her and instead asked Feng Baobao: "Baobao, you haven't told anyone else about Meng Li being struck by lightning, have you?"

Feng Baobao answered: "No."

"Gouwazi instructed me back then not to tell anyone else about this, otherwise it would cause trouble for Meng Li."

"It's only because you guys suddenly brought it up, and you're our own people, that I said anything."

"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't have said a word."

"How about it, am I super smart?"

The three of them smiled bitterly.

In an instant, as if thinking of something, Xu Si looked at Zhang Chulan and said solemnly: "Chu Lan, I don't know what you're planning by suddenly asking about Meng Li. But I need to remind you, it's best to be straightforward when dealing with Meng Li; don't bring any schemes."

"Otherwise, if you provoke him, Xu San and I won't be able to cover for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan laughed: "Brother Si, don't worry. Not to mention the relationship between Brother Meng and us, just based on his strength in knocking down Ding Shanan with one slap, I wouldn't dare to play any tricks on him. Otherwise, if he slapped me, I wouldn't be able to take it."

"As long as you know what you're doing."
