Ultimate: Gangster Youth, starting with release from prison

Ma Chao walked out of the house dejectedly. Guan Yu, seeing this, comforted him.

"It's alright. Since the divine doctor is unwilling, let's go back to the academy."

At this moment, Zhang Fei turned to Lin Yu, who had been mostly silent, and said, "Brother, say something! You haven't said a word since we arrived at Tiandang Mountain, what's wrong?"

Everyone looked at Lin Yu curiously. Lin Yu muttered to himself.

"What should I say? That the divine physician is Bo Ren's mother, and that Ma Chao should leave? This is something he has to face."

Besides, I never intended for the legendary healer to save Guan Yu; I was waiting for Hua Tuo. I couldn't very well just come in and immediately ask the healer's apprentice for help—wouldn't that be a slap in their face?

Lin Yu said, "Let the divine doctor's apprentice treat us."

"Is he capable? Is he reliable?" Everyone was skeptical.

Lin Yu nodded: "Why don't we try and see? Since the divine doctor is unwilling, there's no harm in giving it a try."

The healer's apprentice seemed a little nervous: "Do you really want me to detoxify him?"

Zhang Fei scrutinized him with disbelief: "You have no confidence?"

The apprentice of the legendary healer straightened his back and said loudly, "Although this is my first time with Hua Tuo, my skills are by no means inferior to my master's."

Everyone was shocked, and Huang Zhong was especially surprised: "You are Hua Tuo? I don't know what character your name is?"

Hua Tuo replied, "It is indeed the Hua of China, and the Tuo of Buddha."

"Alright! Then I'll trouble you to treat my second brother," Zhang Fei said.

"Alright, I'll listen to you, elder brother. Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Hua," Guan Yu said gratefully.

Hua Tuo nodded.

Ten days later, Guan Yu's hand was fully healed after Hua Tuo's bone-scraping treatment, and Lin Yu and the others prepared to leave and return to the Eastern Han Academy.

As they were parting, the group said to Hua Tuo, "Doctor Hua, thank you for saving Guan Yu. There's no need to see us off, you're too kind!"

Hua Tuo smiled and said, "I didn't see you off; I was invited by Liu Bei to the Eastern Han Academy."

After hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Yu, who smiled and explained, "The next training will require Hua Tuo's help, and Hua Tuo can be used for training. Wouldn't it be better to cooperate with each other?"

Lin Yu said this, but what he really thought was that once the war with the Demon Realm officially started, he would ask Hua Tuo for help whenever someone was injured, which would greatly increase their chances of winning.

Zhang Fei felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at Lin Yu's smile. If they could get Hua Tuo's help, how terrifying would their training be!

"Third brother, are you having leg cramps? Why are you shaking? Should we have Doctor Hua examine you?" Guan Yu asked with concern.

Zhang Fei quickly covered it up: "Ah, I'm fine! I'm just excited because I'm finally going back."

"Yes, me too!"

"Haha, let's go then, back to Dong Han Academy!"

In the Eastern Han Academy,

"Diao Chan, wait for me!" Xiao Qiao caught up with her friend Diao Chan.

"Slow down, is there something you need?" Diao Chan asked with a smile.

“Someone gave me a lot of free coupons. Didn’t you say you were going to celebrate Guan Yu and the others’ victory? How about we invite them to dinner tonight?” Xiao Qiao smiled and waved the coupons in her hand.

“Good idea! But…” Diao Chan hesitated.

Xiao Qiao noticed her concern: "Isn't your mother not home? You don't need to go home to help."

"What if she calls back?" Diao Chan was still a little worried.

Xiao Qiao thought for a moment and said, "The principal is so good to you, you could have just told him in advance."

"Please, come with me! Just keep me company."

Seeing that Diaochan was still hesitating, Xiao Qiao said, "It's decided then. I'll come pick you up tonight. Let's go!"

Xiao Qiao left after saying those words, leaving Diao Chan helplessly watching her retreating figure.

The full moon hangs high in the sky outside the restaurant.

The Five Tiger Generals and Lin Yu awaited the arrival of Xiao Qiao and Diao Chan. Guan Yu's palms sweated profusely upon learning that Diao Chan would also be coming.

"What do you think of my outfit?" Guan Yu, dressed in a white shirt and black vest, asked Zhang Fei and the others repeatedly.

"Handsome!"

"Second brother, you've been asking this question since before you even put on this outfit."

"People with striking good looks can look good in anything."

No sooner had Zhao Yun finished speaking than Zhang Fei rushed forward and shouted loudly.

"That's right, look at my outfit, I'm sure to turn heads on the street!" Before he could finish speaking, a cat strolled leisurely past Zhang Fei, and the crowd exchanged glances and burst out laughing.

Ma Chao glanced at his watch and said urgently.

"It's almost eight o'clock, why haven't Diao Chan and Xiao Qiao arrived yet?"

Guan Yu seemed a little flustered: "She's not going to stand me up, is she?"

Upon hearing Guan Yu's words, the group looked at him with puzzled expressions.

"I mean, are they messing with us on April 4.6th?"

Huang Zhong waved his hand, "Don't worry, Guan Yu. Girls need to dress up before going out. Just wait patiently."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun teased, "Old Huang, I really didn't expect you to be so good at hiding your abilities!"

Huang Zhong scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "Oh, it's nothing, I just learned it from a book."

"Really?" The crowd looked at him with knowing expressions.

Finally, Xiao Qiao and Diao Chan came running up, with Xiao Qiao shouting.

"Hey, sorry to keep you waiting!"

Everyone greeted her, but when Guan Yu saw Diao Chan, he froze, his face flushed red, and his eyes stared straight at her.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao simply carried Guan Yu to Diao Chan's side, and he was completely unaware.

Diao Chan looked at Guan Yu, who stood like a wooden stake, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. When Xiao Qiao saw the two of them looking at each other, she couldn't help but wave her hand in front of Guan Yu's eyes.

"Alright, that's enough for our first meeting. We can have a more in-depth discussion later!"

Diao Chan gently patted Xiao Qiao and laughed, "Alright, Xiao Qiao, stop talking nonsense, you're getting angry!"

Guan Yu only reacted after Diao Chan spoke, and turned to Xiao Qiao: "Xiao Qiao, you just arrived!"

Xiao Qiao feigned anger: "I've been here for ages!"

"Everyone's here, let's go into the restaurant." Diao Chan eased the tension at the right moment, and everyone agreed.

Upon entering the restaurant, Xiao Qiao deliberately nudged Diao Chan, causing her to lean towards Guan Yu. Guan Yu quickly reached out to support Diao Chan, and together they walked into the restaurant.

Not far away, two figures witnessed this scene and couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was harmonious, filled with laughter. Diao Chan praised it.

"Guan Yu, you can play chess while undergoing bone-scraping treatment, that's truly amazing!"

Guan Yu waved his hand shyly: "No, I believe that either you or any one of us can do it."

The others quickly declined. "Forget it, I can't do it!"

"I can't stand it."

"Someone like Second Brother is something ordinary people can't do; he's really amazing."

"That's right, my legs tremble whenever I see a doctor."

"Fortunately, the matter between Guan Yu and Ma Chao came to a satisfactory conclusion in the end."

Guan Yu reluctantly stood up and suggested, "Brothers, let's drink."

Xiao Qiao interjected with dissatisfaction, "Wait a minute, if it's just you men drinking, what about Diao Chan and me?"

Diao Chan also pouted. Everyone laughed awkwardly.

Guan Yu looked at them: "Xiao Qiao and Diao Chan, could you...?"

Seeing this, Lin Yu quickly chimed in, "Ladies, would you like to join us for a drink?" The two women readily agreed to Lin Yu's suggestion.

"Okay, come on, let's drink!"

Lin Yu then egged them on, "My second and third brothers both love to sing, how about they give a performance?"

Everyone agreed. Zhang Fei declined, saying, "It's been a long time since I sang, so let's not."

Lin Yu urged, "Your second brother likes Diao Chan, shouldn't you, as his younger brother, help him out?"

Guan Yu thought for a moment and said, "Alright, elder brother, second brother, I'll sing with you."

"This song, 'Love,' expresses my second brother's feelings!" Zhang Fei pointed at Diao Chan, but Guan Yu quickly grabbed his hand, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Okay, stop dawdling," Xiao Qiao said urgently.

The two walked to the central stage of the restaurant, and music suddenly started playing.
