Man With Super Medical Skill novel Chapter 2865

As Matthew experienced his first encounter with Lucius, a legendary figure of extraordinary prowess, he couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.

However, Matthew was surprised to find that Lucius did not possess the imposing aura he had imagined. Instead, Lucius appeared quite ordinary. With his frail body, simple robe, and unremarkable features behind his gold-rimmed glasses, he was far from handsome. The only thing that stood out was his long, black hair, which gave him the appearance of a scholar from the 50s or 60s.

It was only when Lucius heard footsteps and looked up that Matthew realized his own superficiality. As their eyes met, it felt as if Lucius was peering into Matthew's very soul, leaving no secrets hidden.

Matthew bit his tongue to shake off the strange feeling and respectfully bowed to Lucius. "Greetings, Master Lucius."

Lucius smiled and nodded. "There's no need for formalities. Make yourself at home. Please, have a seat."

Matthew twitched his mouth, finding Lucius' speech a bit peculiar. As Matthew approached the stone table and sat down, Lucius' gaze never wavered, sometimes accompanied by a slight smile or a furrowed brow.

"Master Lucius!" Matthew couldn't help but remind Lucius after seeing such strange expressions. After all, being scrutinized by a master of such caliber would make anyone uncomfortable.

His reminder seemed to bring Lucius back to reality, and realizing his own demeanor, Lucius regained his composed smile.

"My apologies. I was lost in some very important thoughts."

"There's no need for apologies, Master. I'm the one intruding."

Lucius nodded in approval, pleased with the young man's manners, good looks, and fortune. The only thing that bothered him was the hidden hostility within Matthew, but it was not a major concern. A period of cultivation on the Sacred Mount would cleanse it.
