The shopkeeper wasn't looking to have the elder guess, and smiled, saying, "You would never have thought it—they're descendants of the Gongyu Family, who haven't been heard from in years."
Only then did the elder, startled, lift his gaze from the book.
"Mr. Gongyu had a daughter when he was nearly forty, always adored her. I've met her a few times. You're not speaking of his daughter, are you?"
The shopkeeper shook his head. "It's a youth, and a girl of seven or eight, calling Mr. Gongyu their grandfather. Those two must have been adopted into the Gongyu lineage as grandchildren. However, from the way they spoke, I gathered that Mr. Gongyu has already passed away. Such a masterful physician is gone—it truly is a great loss for our medical realm."
The elder didn't dwell on whether the children were adopted. Upon hearing that Gongyu Jin had passed, he looked utterly stunned.
