Chapter 1197: Chapter 23: Never Offend a Doctor

After subduing He Lai, half of Cangdu’s threat had already been resolved.

The remaining half of the hidden danger was the Cangdu City Guard, Hu Yue.

"Sir, please accompany me to Cangdu. I am well acquainted with Hu Yue’s character, and your second inheritance as a Heavenly Fox should be enough to make him your puppet." He Lai learned afterward that Yun Sheng was of Heavenly Fox mixed blood.

This revelation left He Lai quite astonished.

Because to He Lai’s knowledge, even pureblood Heavenly Foxes rarely possessed two kinds of inheritances at Yun Sheng’s age.

Moreover, both inheritances were quite powerful.

Especially Yun Sheng’s second inheritance, the Golden-eyed Puppet, which was enough to control martial artists like Hu Yue.

This was why He Lai earnestly requested Yun Sheng to accompany him to Cangdu to subdue Hu Yue.

However, regarding He Lai’s invitation for Yun Sheng to go to Cangdu, most people of the Human Clan disagreed, even Xiong Ce and others held a reserved attitude.

Although He Lai had allied with the Human Clan, he was meticulous, and if he colluded with people from Cangdu, Yun Sheng could be in danger.

Amidst the various doubts, Yun Sheng gladly accepted He Lai’s invitation.

"If you employ someone, do not doubt them; if you doubt them, do not use them. Since I’ve allied with He Lai, I will trust him completely," Yun Sheng decided to go to Cangdu.

The affairs of the civilian cave had been mostly resolved.

With the village chief and Xiong Ce and others present, Moon-shaped Spring Town could now operate smoothly.

It was also time to leave. Upon departing the town, Yun Sheng made a decision to take Yingying along.

Although Yun Sheng considered Yingying’s young age, she had already promised Yingying’s mother to take Yingying as an apprentice, so Yingying was her disciple.

As Yun Sheng’s disciple, she couldn’t take the usual path, but heading to the Sky Fox Tribe was a great experience.

After all, Yingying was still a child. Upon hearing that she could stay with Yun Sheng and the adorable Bo Bo, she was overjoyed, immediately agreeing, kneeling to Yun Sheng, and offering tea, officially becoming Yun Sheng’s apprentice.

Traditional Chinese medicine values inheritance; since arriving at Wuji Continent, although Yun Sheng had set up a medical hall, she hadn’t truly taken in disciples.

After spending several days with Yingying, she found her bright and especially outstanding memory. With careful training, she might truly pass on her medical skills.

This happiness eased much of the sorrow of parting.

After accepting Yingying as a disciple, Yun Sheng left Moon-shaped Spring Town with Bo Bo, Little Yingying, and He Lai and others.

Due to having Yingying along, He Lai very considerately slowed the journey, with the party stopping and going along the way, and Yun Sheng took the opportunity to teach Yingying a lot of medical knowledge.

Indeed, Yingying showed much talent in learning medical skills, grasping many concepts immediately.

Yun Sheng decided that upon reaching the next big city, she would test Yingying’s constitution. If suitable, she would also teach Yingying the Yan Family’s Family Inheritance Technique.

About halfway through the journey, one day He Lai suddenly asked.

"Sir, He Lai wants to ask you a question. I clearly ordered to poison the water source in the Mayor’s Mansion. Why were you all unscathed?" He Lai considered the poison used on the Mayor’s Mansion his secret medicine, impossible for others to replicate.

"It’s quite simple: because I am a Doctor. Just by smelling your poison, I could identify the medicinal herb components. So what you saw in the Illusion Realm is real. If you didn’t submit, I would certainly poison Cangdu’s water source," Yun Sheng said without changing expression.

"But sir, Cangdu has hundreds of thousands of people, poisoning it would undoubtedly embroil the entire Cangdu City." He Lai couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle.

The woman, who had just been diligently teaching, could in the next moment turn into a ruthless overlord.

He Lai had already started worrying for Yingying.

"He Lai, I can tell you this: whether I poison or not, I have absolute confidence in saving people. This is the power of being a Doctor. Let me advise you, you can go against anyone, but never go against a Doctor," Yun Sheng replied with unwavering certainty in her eyes.

He Lai was astounded, never expecting that the human woman before him was also an incredibly skilled Doctor.

"Master, Master, a few days ago, you asked Yingying a question, and Yingying now has the answer!" Beside them, Yingying tugged at Yun Sheng’s sleeve.

Indeed, several days ago, upon accepting Yingying as a disciple, out of caution, Yun Sheng had called Little Yingying over to ask her a question.

"Yingying, Master has mastered three skills: Medical Skill, Summoning Technique, and Magic. Which do you most want to learn?"

Yingying was still young, and Yun Sheng wanted her to choose freely, not to be confined solely to Medical Skill.

Back then, Yingying was confused, saying she would consider it, since all three skills were highly impressive.

But today, after Yun Sheng and He Lai’s conversation, Yingying suddenly had a realization.

"Oh, which one do you want to learn?" Yun Sheng was also curious about Yingying’s final choice.

"Master, Yingying wants to learn Medical Skill," to Yun Sheng’s surprise, Little Yingying made her decision without hesitation, firmly stating she wanted to learn Medical Skill.

"Little Yingying, have you thought it through? Why choose Medical Skill? Typically, at your age, you should favor Magic or Summoning Technique," Yun Sheng remarked. Usually, for children, the allure of dazzling Magic or becoming a Summoner summoning beasts would be more enticing.

"Master, Yingying doesn’t want to kill. Those Half-Beast mages and Beastman summoners, when they attacked the civilian caves, they killed many people. Yingying wants to be like Master, to be a Doctor who saves many people. No one in the civilian caves provides medical care, so Yingying wants to become a Doctor specifically for the Human Clan in the caves," the little girl Yingying declared, raising her head.

Her small figure exuded a respectable air.

Yun Sheng looked at Yingying and couldn’t help but laugh gently. She embraced Yingying and said solemnly.

"Alright, Master promises you, one day you will become the most outstanding Doctor on the Eight Desolates Continent."

Years later, when Yingying became the most prominent female physician on the Eight Desolates Continent, only then would she realize the significance of her choice today for herself and the Eight Desolates Continent.

Looking at the master and disciple, He Lai was filled with mixed emotions, realizing that his inquiry today inadvertently caused the medical landscape of the Eight Desolates Continent to change dramatically for millennia to come.
