Looking at his master's back, Lu Qing was somewhat stunned.
Why did he waste his breath trying to get those Liuyun Sect disciples to confess their evil deeds?
Actually, it wasn't that he wanted to know the answer.
With his special abilities, he didn't need to go through such a complicated process to obtain information.
Actually, he was asking the question for his master and the others to hear.
Otherwise, Lu Qing wouldn't have bothered with all that futile effort; he would have simply killed those scumbags long ago.
It now seems that Master was also completely enraged by the actions of the Liuyun Sect disciples.
“But Master, this will probably delay our journey to Zhongzhou considerably,” Lu Qing said.
"It's alright, it's just a detour. Zhongzhou is there, it's not going anywhere. As long as we're determined, we'll get there eventually."
The old doctor said indifferently.
Lu Qing paused for a moment, then laughed: "Alright, Master, let's go and try our luck at the Flowing Cloud Sect. Speaking of which, Master Fang once said that the Flowing Cloud Sect seems to have more than one Innate Realm expert. At that time, I'm afraid we'll still have to rely on you, Master."
"Stop being so glib." The old doctor first chuckled and scolded, then said, "However, as long as the innate realm cultivators of the Flowing Cloud Sect haven't reached the Great Perfection of the innate realm, I should still be able to hold them off for a while."
Lu Qing was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Master, you seem to have changed a bit."
My former master would never have said such confident words.
"For years, I have been studying the Medical Sage's 'Qing Nang Medical Classic,' do you know why?" the old doctor asked.
"This disciple does not know."
Lu Qing was also a little confused.
With my master's current medical skills, he is no less skilled than that legendary medical sage, and may even be more skilled.
After all, according to rumors, that medical sage did not seem to have reached the Innate Realm.
Lu Qing had also read "The Medical Classic of the Green Bag". The medical theories in it were indeed profound, but from his current perspective, there was nothing too mysterious about it.
It doesn't seem worthwhile for a master, a powerful expert at the Innate Realm, to study it for so long.
"The 'Qingnang Medical Classic' left by the Sage of Medicine not only records many excellent prescriptions, but also contains many of the Sage's thoughts on us doctors."
"There's one sentence in particular that I hadn't paid much attention to before, but today it resonates deeply with me," the old doctor sighed.
"What are you saying, Master?"
The Sage of Medicine once said in the "Qing Nang Medical Classic": "A doctor who heals the sick and saves people is a minor doctor. Only one who can heal the world and save people is a true great doctor."
A certain emotion flickered in the old doctor's eyes.
"This old man only knows how to treat illnesses and save lives. Whether I am a minor doctor or a major doctor, it doesn't matter to me."
But what I saw and heard today made me realize that the world is truly in chaos.
The cunning and wickedness of people's hearts have reached a point where there is no cure.
"In such a world, I have no power to cure it, but at least I can seek justice for the townspeople who died tragically, and cleanse this ravaged world of its pus and remove a malignant tumor."
Lu Qing was stunned by the determination on his master's face.
"Alright, let me treat Master Fang and the others' injuries a bit more, and also inquire 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 retreating figure.
"What? Doctor Chen, Young Master Lu, you're going to Yunzhou?"
When Fang Tao and his apprentice learned that the old doctor and his group were preparing to go to Yunzhou, they were all greatly surprised.
"Dr. Chen, you just killed the young sect leader of the Liuyun Sect and so many disciples. The Liuyun Sect is notorious for protecting its own, and they will definitely not let this go. Going to Yunzhou at this time is like walking into a trap," Fang Tao said anxiously.
“Yes, Young Master Lu, that young sect master is the great-grandson of the Supreme Elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect and also the son of the sect master. If you kill him, it will be a direct slap in the face to the Flowing Cloud Sect. Going to Yunzhou now is too dangerous!”
Even the heavily bandaged Oishi offered his advice.
As for Fang Rou and the others, they also looked anxious.
“Master Fang, I think you’re overthinking it,” Lu Qing said with a smile.
"The Flowing Cloud Sect is unaware of what is happening here, so why would they make things difficult for us?"
We have important business to attend to in Yunzhou. We will leave immediately after we have finished and will not linger. Please rest assured, Master Fang.
Fang Tao immediately understood.
That's right. The Flowing Cloud Sect disciples who came to hunt them down were all killed by Lu Qing and his group. There wasn't even anyone left to go back and report, so how would they know about Lu Qing and his group?
However, this reason is barely acceptable.
Fang Tao still found it strange that Lu Qing and the others were going to Yunzhou at this particular time.
"Dr. Chen, since that's the case, then let me go back with you. I'm quite familiar with Yunzhou, and I know a little about the people from the various factions and sects there."
With my guidance, avoiding the people of the Flowing Cloud Sect shouldn't be difficult."
Fang Tao thought for a while and then made a suggestion.
"There's no need for such trouble. Master Fang, you are still injured and need to rest. You shouldn't move around too much."
Besides, our carriage is cramped; it's probably too small to fit another person.
"Master Fang, all you need to do is mark the locations of all the sects and factions in Yunzhou for us, so we can prepare and avoid them in advance to prevent unnecessary conflicts."
Upon hearing Lu Qing's request, Fang Tao finally began to believe that they did indeed have important business to attend to in Yunzhou.
Since that was the case, he naturally couldn't dissuade them any further. He could only draw a simple map, marking out the major sects and forces in Yunzhou, and explain it to Lu Qing and the others.
"Young Master Lu, in our Yunzhou, there are three major sects, the most powerful of which are..."
These three major sects are so powerful that even the state government has difficulty controlling them because they have ancestral masters at the Innate Realm.
Of the three major sects, the Flowing Cloud Sect is the most domineering. Furthermore, you killed their young sect leader. On your journey to Yunzhou, if you encounter any Flowing Cloud Sect disciples, please avoid them at all costs and refrain from conflict.
Fang Tao now knows that Lu Qing and his group are incredibly powerful and keep their abilities hidden.
Based on the strength Lu Qing had previously demonstrated, even if an ordinary sect were to send out its entire force, it would probably be unable to defeat them.
However, the three major sects are different. Each sect has an Innate Realm Ancestor, in addition to their own enormous power.
No matter how powerful Lu Qing and his group are, they probably won't be able to provoke these behemoths. It's best to avoid them as much as possible.
"Thank you, Master Fang." Lu Qing put away the map. "Then we'll be leaving now. Master Fang, please rest and recover here. Master has left you medicine and prescriptions. As long as you take the medicine on time, you'll recover in no time."
Upon hearing that the old doctor and his entourage were leaving, the surviving townspeople couldn't sit still any longer and all came out to see them off.
"Old doctor, young man, we owe you a great debt of gratitude for killing those villains. We are so grateful that we will never forget your kindness. I have nothing to repay you with, so please accept this little bit of rice and flour."
An elderly man, his body trembling slightly, handed a basket to the old doctor and his colleagues.
Beside him were two boys and a girl, who were only five or six years old.
Behind them stood a large group of townspeople, each holding various items in their hands.
"There's no need for that, sir."
The old doctor initially declined the old man's belongings.
Looking at the crowd behind him, he said loudly, "Gentlemen, please take your things back. Our carriage has plenty of food; it can't hold so much stuff."
Qingfeng Town suffered a great calamity this time, and many people died.
The period ahead will definitely be quite difficult.
What they took out might be their staple food for survival, so the old doctor naturally didn't want to accept it.
The townspeople initially tried to persuade him, but due to the old doctor's insistence, they ultimately had no choice but to take the items back.
After declining all the gifts, the old doctor looked at the townspeople on the street.
He said, “Everyone, in the days to come, if anyone asks about our whereabouts, just tell them that my master and I have gone to Yunzhou. There is no need to hide it from us. Please remember this and do not act recklessly.”
After saying that, he climbed into the carriage while everyone was still in shock.
"drive!"
Ma Gu cracked his whip, and the carriage slowly drove out of town.
"I kneel to bid farewell to all my benefactors!"
After the carriage had traveled more than ten zhang, the old man standing in front suddenly pulled his grandson and granddaughter down to kneel down and kowtow repeatedly.
His two grandchildren beside him, though not understanding what was happening, also kowtowed along with their grandfather in a daze.
"Kneeling to pay homage to our benefactor!"
The moment the grandfather, grandfather, and grandson knelt down, it was as if a switch had been flipped. In an instant, all the townspeople on the street also knelt down in unison, kowtowing and bowing in the direction the carriage had left.
Such a touching scene,
This completely shocked Fang Tao and his apprentices.
After a while, when the carriage disappeared from sight and the townspeople gradually got up.
Fang Rou asked with some confusion, "Father, what did Doctor Chen mean by what he said before he left?"
Fang Tao, who was still immersed in his emotions, recalled what the old doctor had just said upon hearing this.
A sudden jolt of surprise shot through me, and I blurted out:
"Oh no! Doctor Chen and his group aren't on any important business in Yunzhou. They're trying to lure the Liuyun Sect people away to prevent them from bringing further disaster to the town!"
