EBE Chapter 88 A New Beginning
Chapter 88 A New Beginning
After a long talk, Xiaoyue and the child's father exchanged glances that revealed deep gratitude and understanding.
Then, Xiaoyue slowly stood up, carefully straightened the hem of her clothes that had been ruffled by the breeze, and was about to turn and leave the room filled with a mixture of warmth and tension.
Just then, the old doctor, who had been silently watching the commotion, noticed that Xiaoyue and the others were about to leave. He quickly stepped forward and stopped them.
The old doctor's face was beaming with a sincere and warm smile, and his eyes were filled with admiration and respect for Xiaoyue.
He spoke to Xiaoyue with a tone of respect and admiration.
"Hey, young lady, wait a moment. I have practiced medicine for many years and have seen countless doctors, but there are very few people like you who are so young yet possess such superb medical skills."
Even patients who were on the verge of death and almost beyond saving were brought back to life in the young woman's hands. Such medical skills are truly astonishing!
The old doctor's words were full of praise and admiration for Xiaoyue. He nodded repeatedly as he spoke, as if he were expressing his shock and respect in this way.
Immediately afterwards, the old doctor extended another invitation to Xiaoyue with a sincere expression.
"Young lady, I have long admired your medical skills and would like to take this opportunity to discuss the art of medicine with you in depth."
"I wonder if the young lady has the time now, and would do me the honor of discussing the mysteries of medicine with this old man?"
Xiaoyue was slightly taken aback when she heard the old doctor's enthusiastic words, and a hint of hesitation welled up in her heart.
She knew that the medical skills she possessed were not simply traditional medical skills, but rather derived from the Linglong Divine Skill that Yun Dan had taught them.
These skills not only contain the essence of medical skills, but also incorporate some unique aspects of poison techniques, and these skills cannot be easily passed on to others.
Yun Dan had previously warned them sternly that this Linglong Divine Skill was extremely important and should never be easily passed on to outsiders.
Therefore, faced with the doctor's enthusiastic invitation, Xiaoyue was caught in a dilemma, unsure of how to respond.
After a brief internal struggle, Xiaoyue finally decided to decline the old doctor's invitation. She spoke to the old doctor with a tone of apology and helplessness.
"Thank you for your appreciation and invitation, but the person who taught me the medical skills once warned us that our medical skills should not be easily passed on to others."
Furthermore, the medical technique I just used, though it appeared to be medical, was actually derived from a cultivation method. Therefore, I can only apologize to you.
Upon hearing Xiaoyue's words, the old doctor couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.
But he quickly adjusted his emotions, smiled slightly at Xiaoyue, and spoke with a tone of understanding and respect. However, now that he had met Xiaoyue, a person with profound medical skills, he really wanted to try his best.
"Young lady, you are so lucky. The person who can impart such superb medical skills to you must be a reclusive master."
However, medicine is a discipline that requires constant communication and learning. Without exchanging ideas and discussing with other medical practitioners, it is difficult to make significant progress in medical skills.
However, since the young lady has her own difficulties, I will not force her. I only hope that if she has the opportunity to come here again in the future, she will come and discuss the art of medicine with me.
Xiaoyue felt a surge of gratitude and respect upon hearing the old doctor's words.
She knew the old doctor was right, but she couldn't disobey Yun Dan's teachings.
So she said to the old doctor, "Thank you for your teachings, but I still cannot discuss medical matters with you. I will ask the person who taught me when I meet them in the future."
If she agrees, and I happen to be passing through this area, I will come and discuss it with you.
Hearing Xiaoyue's words, the old doctor felt a surge of relief and anticipation.
He nodded to Xiaoyue, his tone carrying a hint of kindness and encouragement: "In that case, I will await your good news, young lady."
I hope to have this opportunity to discuss the art of medicine with you again next time.
Afterwards, Xiaoyue chatted with the old doctor for a while, then left the clinic with several disciples of the Peach Feather Sect.
She knew that her medical skills still had many shortcomings and needed to be continuously learned and improved, but she also knew that she could not disobey Yun Dan's teachings and lightly pass on the Linglong Divine Skill to others.
On the way back to the inn, the disciples of the Peach Feather Sect all looked at Xiaoyue with admiration, praising her superb medical skills and kind heart.
While the Spirit King, disguised as a man, sat silently to the side, he was filled with surprise and admiration for Xiaoyue.
He hadn't expected that even Xiaoyue's medical skills were so superb, which made him look at Xiaoyue with even greater respect.
After returning to the inn, the group went to their rooms to rest. The night passed peacefully.
Xiaoyue, however, kept the old doctor's words and Yundan's teachings in mind. She knew that she still had a long way to go on the path of medical skills.
The next morning, golden sunlight streamed through the inn's windows, dappling every corner of the room and adding warmth and vitality to the day ahead.
As everyone gradually awoke from their slumber, filled with anticipation for the new day, they busily began packing their belongings.
After a quick wash, Hua Lingxing smiled gently at herself in the mirror, her eyes reflecting both anticipation for the unknown and a calm acceptance of challenges.
When Li Shiting brought his disciples from the Peach Feather Sect to suggest traveling together, she merely glanced at them indifferently and lightly parted her lips: "Whatever."
He then turned and left, leaving Li Shiting and his disciples looking at each other in bewilderment, but they could only follow silently.
King Ling sat leisurely in his carriage, closing his eyes to rest, as if the hustle and bustle of the outside world had nothing to do with him and that he didn't need to personally concern himself with any trivial matters.
After everyone finished packing, the group stepped out of the inn in a grand procession, facing the rising sun, and embarked on a new journey.
Their figures faded into the distance in the dawn light, like warriors in a story, bravely stepping into the unknown future.
Over the next few days, they traveled along winding mountain paths, which were narrow and rugged, but everyone was in an unusually relaxed mood.
The girls, including Daya, would occasionally stop and look around at the natural scenery with curiosity, asking how far Qinling Star was from the next town.
Qin Lingxing smiled and replied, "If we speed up, we might arrive in six or seven days; but at our current pace, it will probably take another ten days or so."
Upon hearing this, Shanzi and the others remained calm, as they had grown accustomed to this slow-paced lifestyle over the past two months.
However, just as they continued on their way, the tranquility was shattered by a group of uninvited guests—bandits from the nearby area appeared.
"Stop!" With a loud command, everyone stopped and focused their attention on what was in front of them.
A group of bandits, dressed in tattered clothes but carrying various weapons, blocked the way.
The leader was a burly, dark-skinned man with a stubble beard, dark complexion, large eyes, a big nose, a wide mouth, and a strip of cloth of indistinct color tied around his forehead.
The large sword in his hand was particularly eye-catching; it was a full two meters long, with a broad blade that gleamed coldly.
When Xiaoyue saw this scene, the interesting stories about the martial arts world that Yundan had once told her suddenly came to mind.
A playful impulse struck her, and she slowly rode forward on her horse, shouting in a bandit-like tone, "Hey, kid, stop right there! This mountain is mine, this tree is mine. If you want to die, leave your money behind!"
After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh, which made the people from Huanlingyuan and Taoyu Sect burst into laughter.
When the Empress heard Xiaoyue's shout from inside the carriage, she couldn't help but chuckle.
She thought to herself, "This little girl is really funny; she can actually tease these bandits like this."
Upon hearing Xiaoyue's shout, Qin Lingxing and the others quickly laughed and said, "Xiaoyue, you're wrong."
Xiaoyue turned around and looked at them in confusion: "That's right, that's how Xiaoya taught me."
The big, dark-skinned man was annoyed to see this group of people chatting and laughing so calmly in front of him and his companions.
He raised his broadsword and shouted again, "Hey! This mountain is mine, these trees are mine! If you want to pass, leave your toll!"
When everyone heard him repeat it, they laughed even harder.
Xiaoyue also said to Qin Lingxing, "I was wrong, this big black guy is right."
Afu chimed in, "That's right, Xiaoyue, you're greedy for both your life and your money, you're even more ruthless than a robber."
The big, burly man was completely bewildered by them, wondering to himself, "Who's the real bandit here? Why aren't they scared at all?"
He swung his broadsword and shouted again, "Leave your silver, goods, clothes, and weapons, and I will not kill you."
His henchmen, upon hearing their boss's words, also began to shout and yell in unison.
"Put down your money!"
"I want his clothes!"
I want his pants!
"I want his weapon!"
"I want his shoes, they're so beautiful."
Another person pointed at Xiao Lie's horse and said, "That horse is mine, none of you should try to take it from me."
Hearing his men chattering, the big black guy turned around in anger and yelled, "Damn it, all of you shut up!"
Xiaoyue and the others watched the bandits chattering and joking with great interest, as if they were watching a farce.
This unexpected incident, instead of making them feel nervous or scared, added to the enjoyment of their journey.
