To be a doctor who was dedicated to save other people’s lives… it would not be an exaggeration to call him kind, is it?

But it was not enough…

He was not capable enough and this was what made Traveling Doctor Liu really troubled.

If he was better, then there would not be so many things that he couldn’t do for his disciples over the years.

In the end, he didn’t know if he did the right thing.

But he knew that he had followed his heart and did what he think is right. To take those disciples and allowed them to live a different life under him, for the better or for the worse.

The rest that happened was their own decision.

He raised them like their parents but in the end, the children will have to grow up and then made their own decision. There was no way that Traveling Doctor Liu would be able to influence them for the rest of their lives. This update is available on novel·fiɾe·net

Traveling Doctor Liu had no intention to dictate their lives either.

Things were already this way and it’s enough.

“For me, Master is like my parents,” Yu Zheng Xi said slowly as he looked at Traveling Doctor Liu. “No matter what, I can’t imagine how I’ll live my life without your presence, Master. And in your hand, you have saved countless lives, giving them a chance to live longer.”

Traveling Doctor Liu chuckled and looked at the distance. “But a doctor could not save everyone.”

This was something that Traveling Doctor Liu had known from the very beginning. How many people died under his watch? How many patients had passed away because he was unable to save them?

He couldn’t count them.

But he didn’t stop and strived his best to become a good doctor.

Because Traveling Doctor Liu wished to save as many people as possible.

“I know, that’s one of the first lessons you taught us, Master,” Yu Zheng Xi replied calmly.

A doctor is also a human being and they have limited capabilities. When Traveling Doctor Liu taught them, he didn’t let them learn with the intention that they would be able to save everyone.

But he told them outright from the very beginning that they could not save everyone.

“And with the wars going on, people are simply seeking their death on the battle. There’s no way one would be able to save everyone in that situation.” Yu Zheng Xi shook his head and sighed.

Traveling Doctor Liu smiled faintly and didn’t say anything else.

He knew very well that there was no point in talking too much about this matter.

“Master, are you here?” A female voice come out from outside.

Traveling Doctor Liu heard this voice and smiled. “It’s Xue’er. Are there no one in your store today?”

“Master, the restaurant is really busy.” Qi Xue scratched the back of her head with some embarrassment. “It seems that many people like it and I have hired someone to help me. I come here to bring some food for you.”

“That’s good.” Traveling Doctor Liu nodded and looked at the bowl that Qi Xue carried with her. “But you don’t have to prepare food for me. There are more than enough people who could cook food for me here.”

“But, Master…”

“You’re busy and you still have a long life ahead. You don’t have to spend your time caring for me all the time,” Traveling Doctor Liu said earnestly.

He never took his disciples with the hope that they would take care of him when he was old. Besides, Traveling Doctor Liu could tell that his own physical body was not in that bad state.

Even if it was not the best, but he could still take care of himself.

When he was older, it would not be impossible for him to hire someone to help taking care of him. There was no need for him to bother his disciples all the time.

“I want to do it, Master.” Qi Xue looked at his master helplessly and sat down not far from Traveling Doctor Liu. “Also, Senior Brother hadn’t returned?”

She found out that Shi Hao Yi left to the border not long ago and hadn’t returned. This made her wonder if the military lacked doctors or anything like that. Though, her senior brother’s skills were actually good enough to be Imperial Family’s doctors.

“He might stay there thorough the winter.” Traveling Doctor Liu sighed and looked at the food that Qi Xue brought for him. He knew at a glance that it was definitely a medicinal dishes. Taking a sip of the soup, Traveling Doctor Liu nodded as he analyzed the medical herbs that she put in.

Being a doctor himself, Traveling Doctor Liu was definitely better at identifying the medicine used by Qi Xue.

“Oh… is it because of the poison before?” Qi Xue asked in a low voice.

Yu Zheng Xi arched his eyebrows. “Where did you hear about the poison, Qi Xue?”

The official record told to the public about this matter was that General Yang was sick for a period of time instead of poisoned. Because aside from a few people, no one would be able to identify the poison.

The few doctors who came to check on General Yang before also thought that he was sick instead of being poisoned.

It was Shi Hao Yi who finally identified it.

“I thought that a General will not get sick and only poison is possible,” Qi Xue replied with an innocent look.

Yu Zheng Xi rolled his eyes. “Does the general in Qi Xi Kingdom never got sick?”

“Not that I have ever heard of.”

Yu Zheng Xi: “…”

Is his junior sister really this innocent?

He looked at his junior sister doubtfully.

Aside from his thirteenth junior sister, Yu Zheng Xi never thought that his other senior or junior sister and brothers were innocent. They should have known more about the world and would not be so naive.
