Chapter 24

A dignified and graceful woman entered the door, with fair skin and great beauty, her appearance quite similar to that of Miss Liu. Her face was filled with urgency, and her eyes held tears. It was clear that she was worried about her daughter.

Without waiting for Ning'er to speak, Qin Xianyu said first, "Madam, I am Daoist Qin Xianyu. Miss Liu's illness is no longer a major concern."

Hearing this, the lady was overjoyed and wept with gratitude, hurriedly bowing in thanks.

After a few words of refusal, the lady, worried about her daughter, did not have time to say more and rushed inside to see her daughter.

"Ning'er, how can you be so impolite?" The old steward stood at the door, just in time to see the palm print on Qin Xianyu's cheek. Recalling Qin Xianyu's words, he immediately understood the "situation" and frowned, scolding, "This young Master Qin is a renowned physician whom Commander Lu has worked hard to invite. Now that he has cured Miss Liu's illness, he is a benefactor of the Liu family. Hmph, if it weren't for Miss Liu's kindness to you, this old servant would have to punish you according to the family rules."

Ning'er felt extremely wronged, pointing at Qin Xianyu, unable to speak through her clenched teeth, and suddenly began to sob.

"Sinful, sinful." Seeing the girl sobbing in委屈, Qin Xianyu thought to himself, "This monk's catchphrase is almost becoming familiar to this Daoist. In the future, will the White Cloud Temple replace 'Wu Liang Tian Zun' with 'Sinful, sinful'?"

This little Daoist hurried out of the door and stood next to the old steward.

Seeing the old steward about to scold again, Qin Xianyu quickly said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Sister Ning'er was just being protective of her mistress, thinking that this Daoist couldn't cure the illness. If we really talk about it, she shouldn't be punished but rewarded."

The old steward nodded. In fact, he treated Ning'er, this little girl, very well, almost like a granddaughter. He was just afraid that Qin Xianyu would take revenge on this ignorant girl, as he had already cured Miss Liu's illness and was now a benefactor of the Liu family.

Ning'er gently wiped her tears and glared fiercely at this little cow-nosed Daoist.

A faint sobbing could be heard from behind the screen.

Qin Xianyu and the old steward stood outside the door for a moment. Actually, a man should not enter a young lady's boudoir, especially a young man like Qin Xianyu, who was about the same age as Miss Liu. However, this time, he was invited in under the pretext of treating her illness.

Although no one would drive him out after he cured the illness, Qin Xianyu, who had something to hide, did not want to stay even if asked to.

"Hmm?"

Qin Xianyu's eyebrows slightly raised. A few footsteps came from the stairs, extremely light. If it weren't for his keen senses, he would not have noticed. He focused his eyes and looked toward the stairs.

A moment later, a person came from the stairs.

Wearing light-colored clothes, with a long sash and a precious sword at his waist, it was Lu Qing.

"His footsteps were so light that if I hadn't drunk the Jade Pill water and possessed six inches of true qi, making my hearing sharp, I would not have noticed. It turns out his martial arts are so high?" Qin Xianyu was secretly surprised.

Little did he know that Lu Qing was even more surprised. He had practiced martial arts since childhood, experienced many battles, and his steps were almost silent. How could this young Qin have noticed him as soon as he went upstairs? He was startled and thought, "Impressive." He then approached and whispered, "Young Master Qin is truly a divine physician. In just the time it takes to burn an incense stick, you have cured the illness that troubled many famous doctors for months. This deed will surely make the Qin family pharmacy famous throughout the Huai River and the Great Virtue Holy Dynasty."

When Qin Xianyu said he had cured the illness, Lu Qing had just entered the courtyard. Although the words were spoken upstairs and far from the gate, Lu Qing's martial arts were so high that he could hear everything.

Qin Xianyu was secretly surprised and thought, "Impressive. Has Commander Lu cultivated internal strength? Unfortunately, he didn't use his strength, so I can't tell his level. If I could control my true qi freely, I could see clearly even if he didn't use his strength. In two months, I will be able to control my true qi perfectly, like using my arm to move my fingers. Then, even if he doesn't use his strength, I can see clearly."

"Although I can't see his level, he can at least control his blood and qi. A person who can become a commander must not be a beginner in martial arts."

Qin Xianyu's thoughts moved. He thought that this time he finally had a way to familiarize himself with martial arts, to learn techniques and movements. Of course, he didn't need too advanced secret techniques; just a basic understanding would be enough. He believed that with his current contributions, Commander Lu would not refuse to answer these basic questions.

The old steward saw Lu Qing and respectfully called him Commander Lu.

Ning'er also hurried out of the room, bowed, and called out.

The clearly high-ranking Lu Qing only nodded slightly and said to the room, "Madam, the Lord has asked me to invite this young Master Qin."

A voice from inside the room said, "Where is he?"

Lu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "The Lord doesn't know that Miss Liu has recovered yet. He is still reviewing documents. I will inform him when I take Young Master Qin to him."

A voice from inside the room said, "Let him come quickly. It's fine to be busy normally, but now that his daughter is so sick, he doesn't even care about her?"

Lu Qing hurriedly apologized and pulled Qin Xianyu away.

At the stairs, Lu Qing let out a sigh of relief and whispered, "Actually, Lord Liu and Madam have a very good relationship. After Miss Liu fell ill, Madam always wanted the Lord to put aside his official duties to take care of Miss Liu. However, as one of the six prefectures of the Great Virtue Holy Dynasty, Fengxing Prefecture has so many daily affairs. The Lord is too busy and can only come to see her when he has time."

Qin Xianyu also understood. This Madam was too worried about her daughter, probably feeling that Lord Liu didn't take good care of her, and thus had some complaints. After all, in a mother's eyes, all official duties are false, and only her own daughter is real.

After a pause, Qin Xianyu couldn't help but think of his own mother.

His mother was a gentle woman who never seemed to disagree with his father, always following his father's words. However, whenever it came to his own matters, she mostly handled them herself. If his father didn't handle his matters well, his usually gentle mother would always have some complaints.

For example, when he was sent to Master Guanyun's Daoist temple to become a little Daoist, his mother was angry for several days.

The steward, Uncle Fu, had secretly said that it was the first time he had seen the lady angry in all these years.

Tears welled up in his eyes, and he sighed, wiping them away.

"I must find out what that illness was!"

"If there are no clues in Fengxing Prefecture, I will search the six prefectures of the Huai River. If I still can't find it, I will search the entire Great Virtue Holy Dynasty. One day, I will find the clue to this strange illness!"

He took a deep breath.

The dead cannot be brought back to life.

But is there really a way to bring the dead back to life?

Now, cultivating and refining qi, if one can truly ascend to immortality and become a god, can one bring people back to life?

The little Daoist shook his head and laughed at himself. The heavens and the underworld in the strange tales, do they really exist?

He followed Lu Qing downstairs.

"Impossible!"

"How could you possibly cure this illness?"

The doctors outside the building were standing at the bottom of the stairs. The slightly fat Doctor Li, who was in the lead, had a fierce expression and shouted, "Impossible! Even that dead Qin Mingjin couldn't do it!"

Qin Xianyu's face immediately turned dark.
