Chapter 129 - Studying Medicine

Lin Yuelan was also stunned.

Then, her eyes flickered.

She laughed and asked innocently, “Doctor Zhang, since Wu Yazi is your disciple, your medical skills must be the second-best in the world, right?”

Uh...

No one knew how to answer with regard to Lin Yuelan’s ‘innocent’ yet hurtful words.

Lin Yiwei was the first to react. He chided her in a low voice, “Lan ‘Er, don’t be rude!” She was indirectly saying that Doctor Zhang was worse than his disciple.

If Doctor Zhang were a narrow-minded person, he would definitely bear a grudge in his heart. But Doctor Zhang was not that kind of person.

He stroked his long white beard and said with a smile, “Yiwei, it’s okay. In fact, the young miss is telling the truth! My skills are not as good as my disciple, but I am proud. Like everything else, medical skills can only improve by surpassing the previous generation.”

Lin Yuelan narrowed her eyes. ‘Doctor Zhang is indeed a magnanimous person.’

Then, Lin Yuelan suddenly said with a serious expression, “Doctor Zhang, can you please ask your eldest disciple, Wu Yazi, to treat uncle Mingqing?” Her eyes were full of sincere requests.

Lin Yiwei was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he felt a little touched. He knew that Lan ‘Er had always felt guilty about what happened to Mingqing. She always kept that in her heart.

In the past, she was timid. Moreover, she could barely survive, so how could she do anything for Mingqing? Furthermore, the incident that happened three years ago wasn’t even Lan ‘Er’s fault. That didn’t mean that she wasn’t the reason behind it though. However, Lin Yiwei couldn’t really hate Lin Yuelan.

He was surprised that once Lin Yuelan heard that Doctor Zhang’s disciple was the divine doctor, the first thing she thought of was to ask him to cure Lin Mingqing. Of course, he didn’t have the heart to be mad at her anymore.

Doctor Zhang did not say anything. Lin Yiwei sighed heavily and said, “Girl, I won’t hide it from you. I’ve known for some time that the divine doctor is Doctor Zhang’s disciple. I have also requested Doctor Zhang to invite his disciple to take a look at Mingqing, but...” Lin Yiwei’s eyes dimmed as he said, “Perhaps this is the will of the heavens. My Mingqing is destined to face this calamity. Doctor Zhang and his apprentice have actually lost contact since three years ago. ”

Doctor Zhang nodded and said, “That’s right. Many years ago, a group of black-clothed assassins suddenly barged into the valley of medicine Masters and ruthlessly killed everyone in the valley. Men and women, the old and the weak, the sick and the disabled, all died under the blades of those black-clothed assassins.

“I was in the mountains picking herbs with my family’s little kid helper, and that was how we avoided the massacre.

“The assassins didn’t find me. Even though I am a good doctor, I am not a fighter. In order to save our lives, I quickly escaped from the valley with the child. When we arrived here, I fainted at the village entrance.”

Jiang Zhennan was shocked. How could he not know about such a big thing? A whole valley of medical masters was eviscerated!

When he set out from the capital, he headed to the valley of the medicine masters because he heard that the divine doctor was there. So what was going on?

Lin Yuelan frowned slightly and asked curiously, “Doctor Zhang, where was your disciple at that time?”

Doctor Zhang replied, “At the time, my disciple was invited by the Emperor of the Chong Long Kingdom to treat the fourth prince. After that, I lost contact with my disciple!”

“Then, why would Jiang Hu say that the divine doctor, Wu Yazi, is still residing at Valley of the Medicine Masters now?” Jiang Zhennan asked. If Wu Yazi was still in the valley, then it was very highly likely that he had orchestrated the massacre of his own people.

However, Doctor Zhang shook his head and said, “No. Although my disciple’s temperament is somewhat arrogant, he’s a child who respects his masters and seniors. He wouldn’t do something as to exterminate his families and seniors.”

“Have you ever returned to the Valley of the Medicine Masters in the past three years? Can you confirm the current Wu Yazi presiding there is not your disciple?” Lin Yuelan asked.

Doctor Zhang shook his head again and said with certainty, “The current Wu Yazi of the valley of the medicine Masters is definitely not my Jing ‘Er.” When he said this, there was some worry in his eyes. No one knew the truth about this.

Jing ‘Er was the real divine doctor, Li Sijing’s nickname.

For the past three years, someone had been using Wu Yazi’s name to swindle people. However, with Jing ‘Er’s personality, he would have done something, but nothing had happened so far. Doctor Zhang worried that something had happened to Jing ‘Er!

The others quickly guessed that something might have happened to the real Divine Doctor.

Therefore, it appeared impossible to get the divine doctor to treat Lin Mingqing. Of course, Lin Yuelan didn’t really need the divine doctor because she knew that even if the real divine doctor was there, he might not be able to make Lin Mingqing walk again.

So, her real goal was...

“Doctor Zhang, can I learn medicine from you?” Lin Yuelan said seriously.

That’s right. This was Lin Yuelan’s true goal.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

When Doctor Zhang said that her disciple was the divine doctor, she immediately came up with this plan. If she became the divine doctor’s disciple, she could treat Lin Mingqing openly without causing any suspicion or confusion. In the future, when Lin Mingqing was cured, she could say that it was all the work of the divine doctor.

Everyone, including Jiang Zhennan, was shocked.

How would Lin Yuelan, who could casually produce miracle pills, didn’t know medicine?

Doctor Zhang was slightly stunned. He shook his head and said, “No.”

Lin Yuelan was a little anxious.”Doctor Zhang, why not? I’ll study hard.” She needed a front to heal Lin Mingqing. Lin Mingqing’s incident was a scar on the host’s heart. Lin Yuelan wanted to ease that guilt. Plus, just like in wuxia novels, Lin Yuelan also had the problems of inner demons. Her special ability was not like cultivation, but she needed to have a clean and light heart and mind to improve her special ability. Guilt was one of the biggest impediments to her improvements.

Doctor Zhang looked at Lin Yuelan’s anxious expression and smiled. “Girl, let me finish. It’s not that I don’t want to teach you. Instead, you’re going to be my disciple’s disciple.

“Of course, I’ll have to observe you for a month to see if you have the medical talent or not.

“After a month, if you really do have this talent and ability, I will take you in as a disciple on behalf of Jing ‘Er. Do you agree?”
