Chapter 227Watching his master's back, Lu Qing was a bit stunned. Why had he wasted his breath earlier, making those disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect confess their misdeeds? It wasn't because he wanted to know the answers. With his special abilities, he didn't need to go to such lengths to obtain information. In reality, he had asked for his master's sake. Otherwise, Lu Qing would have long since slaughtered those scoundrels. Now it seemed that his master was thoroughly enraged by the actions of the Flowing Cloud Sect disciples. "But master, this way, our journey to Zhongzhou might be significantly delayed," Lu Qing said. "No matter, it's just a detour. Zhongzhou will still be there, it won't run away. As long as we are determined, we will get there sooner or later," the old doctor replied indifferently. Lu Qing was silent for a moment, then laughed, "Alright then, master, let's go to the Flowing Cloud Sect and see. By the way, the village chief once said that there is more than one expert at the Precelestial Realm in the Flowing Cloud Sect. We may need to rely on you by then." "Stop flattering me," the old doctor first laughed and scolded, then said, "However, as long as the Flowing Cloud Sect's Precelestial Realm experts haven't reached the Great Perfection, I should be able to handle them." Lu Qing was taken aback, and after a while, he said, "Master, you seem to have changed." If it were the master from before, he would never have spoken with such confidence. "I have been studying the 'Qing Nang Medical Classic' of the Medical Saint all these years. Do you know why?" the old doctor asked. "Disciple does not know." Lu Qing was indeed puzzled. With his master's current medical expertise, he was already no less than the legendary Medical Saint, perhaps even surpassing him. After all, according to legend, the Medical Saint never reached the Precelestial Realm. Lu Qing had also read the 'Qing Nang Medical Classic.' The medical theories in it were profound, but from his current perspective, they were not particularly mysterious. It did not seem worth it for a Precelestial Realm expert like his master to study it for so long. "The 'Qing Nang Medical Classic' left by the Medical Saint not only contains many excellent prescriptions but also many of his reflections on us healers. "Among them, there is a sentence that I didn't pay much attention to before, but today, I deeply understand it," the old doctor sighed. "What sentence, master?" "The Medical Saint once said in the 'Qing Nang Medical Classic,' 'A healer who treats diseases and saves people is a small doctor. One who can heal the world and save the people is a true great doctor.'" ŔΆ????o͍₿Ès There was a certain emotion in the old doctor's eyes. "Old man, in this lifetime, I can only treat diseases and save people. Whether small doctor or great doctor, it doesn't matter to me. "But today's events have made me realize that this world is truly chaotic. "The deceit and malice in people's hearts have reached an incurable level. "In such a world, I don't have the power to heal it, but at least, I can seek justice for the townspeople who died tragically, and clear some of the festering wounds and remove a bit of the poison." Seeing the determination on his master's face, Lu Qing was stunned. "Alright, let me treat the injuries of the village chief and the others, and ask about the situation in Yunzhou. Then we'll prepare to set off." The old doctor turned and left, leaving Lu Qing standing there, staring blankly at his master's back. "What? Old Doctor Chen, Young Master Lu, you're going to Yunzhou?" When Fang Tao and his disciples heard that the old doctor and his party were preparing to go to Yunzhou, they were all shocked. "Old Doctor Chen, you just killed the Young Sect Master and so many disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect. The Flowing Cloud Sect is notorious for protecting their own. They will definitely not let this go. Going to Yunzhou now is like walking into a trap," Fang Tao said anxiously. "Yes, Young Master Lu, the Young Sect Master was the great-grandson of the Flowing Cloud Sect's Supreme Elder and the son of the Sect Master. By killing him, you've directly slapped the Flowing Cloud Sect in the face. Going to Yunzhou now is too dangerous!" The heavily bandaged Dashi also advised. As for Fang Rou and the others, they too looked anxious. "Village Chief Fang, I think you're overthinking it," Lu Qing laughed. "The Flowing Cloud Sect doesn't know what happened here yet, so how could they trouble us? "We're going to Yunzhou for an important matter. Once it's done, we'll leave immediately and not stay long. Please don't worry." When Fang Tao heard this, he reacted. That's right, the disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect who came to kill them were all killed by Lu Qing and his party. There wasn't even anyone to report back. How could the Flowing Cloud Sect know about them? However, although this reason was barely acceptable, Fang Tao still found it odd that Lu Qing and his party were going to Yunzhou at this time. "Old Doctor Chen, in that case, let me accompany you back. I am quite familiar with Yunzhou and know a bit about the various sects and factions there. "With me leading the way, it shouldn't be difficult to avoid the people of the Flowing Cloud Sect," Fang Tao suggested after thinking for a while. "No need to trouble yourself. Village Chief Fang, you are still injured and need to rest. "Moreover, our carriage is cramped and may not accommodate another person. "Village Chief, just help us mark the locations of the sects and factions in Yunzhou so we can be prepared to avoid unnecessary conflicts." Hearing Lu Qing's request, Fang Tao finally believed they indeed had an important matter in Yunzhou. Since that was the case, he couldn't persuade them further. He had to draw a simple map, marking the major sects and factions in Yunzhou and explaining it to Lu Qing and his party. "Young Master Lu, in Yunzhou, there are three major sects with the strongest influence. "These three major sects have Precelestial Realm ancestors, making it difficult even for the state government to control them. "Among the three major sects, the Flowing Cloud Sect is the most domineering. Since you killed their Young Sect Master, please avoid their disciples and avoid conflicts if you encounter them." Fang Tao now knew that Lu Qing and his party were incredibly powerful. Based on the strength Lu Qing had shown earlier, ordinary sects would struggle to deal with them, even if they went all out. But the three major sects were different. They had Precelestial Realm ancestors and vast influence. No matter how strong Lu Qing and his party were, they would struggle to provoke these giants. It was best to avoid them. "Thank you, Village Chief," Lu Qing said, putting away the map. "Then we will set off. Please rest and recover. Master has left medicine and prescriptions. As long as you take the medicine on time, you'll recover soon." When the townspeople of Qingfeng Town heard that the old doctor and his party were leaving, they couldn't sit still and all came out to see them off. "Old Doctor, Young Master, we owe our lives to you for killing those evildoers. We will never forget your kindness. I have nothing to repay you with, but please accept this rice and flour," an old man, his body trembling, handed a basket to the old doctor and his party. Beside him were two boys and a girl, only five or six years old. Behind them, a large group of townspeople stood, also holding various things. "Elder, there's no need for this." The old doctor first declined the old man's things. Seeing the people behind, he said loudly, "Everyone, please take your things back. Our carriage doesn't lack food and can't carry so much." Qingfeng Town had suffered a great disaster and many people had died. The coming days would be tough. The things they brought out might be their survival food, so the old doctor naturally didn't want to accept them. The townspeople wanted to persuade them, but under the old doctor's insistence, they had to take their things back. After declining the things, the old doctor looked at the townspeople on the street. "Everyone, if anyone asks about our whereabouts, just tell them we have gone to Yunzhou. Don't try to hide it for us. Remember, don't act rashly." With that, he climbed into the carriage, leaving the crowd in amazement. "Hyah!" Mago cracked the whip, and the carriage slowly headed out of town. seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Kneel and send off our benefactors!" When the carriage had traveled more than ten zhang, the old man in front suddenly pulled his grandchildren to their knees and kowtowed. The two children, not understanding what was happening, followed their grandfather and kowtowed. "Kneel and send off our benefactors!" The sight of the elderly man and his grandchildren kneeling seemed to trigger something, and the townspeople on the street also knelt, kowtowing toward the departing carriage. This touching scene left Fang Tao and his disciples completely stunned. After a while, when the carriage disappeared and the townspeople gradually got up, Fang Rou asked in confusion, "Father, what did Old Doctor Chen mean by his words before he left?" Still immersed in his emotions, Fang Tao recalled the old doctor's words. Suddenly realizing, he exclaimed: "No, Old Doctor Chen and the others didn't have an important matter in Yunzhou. They wanted to lure the Flowing Cloud Sect away to prevent more disaster for the town!" Table of content
