Liu Zixuan's words left everyone stunned!
Of course, they were more moved than anything else!
In this world, doctors can be divided into many types, but at the root, there are just three!
One type knows what's wrong but treats recklessly, that's a quack.
Another knows what's wrong but finds excuses to evade, that's a useless doctor!
The last type follows their heart, ignores everything else, and focuses solely on the illness! Only such doctors deserve the title of "Healer of Mercy"!
Clearly, Liu Zixuan's actions embody this third kind!
It's also the most admirable kind!
Liu Zixuan smiled and said, "Li Ruqi, rest assured and get treated by me."
"But what if they come to trouble you?"
The old lady sighed, "Since our little benefactor has said so, this old woman might as well tell you the whole story. After listening, I hope our young benefactor will decide more wisely!"
"Every family has its direct and branch lines, and the Li Family is no exception. By Xi'Er's generation, he was the sole heir. Given his promising potential from a young age, no one in the family could shake his position. When he reached this year's festival, he could officially take over the family and become the new Patriarch!"
"But recently, he failed a drug trial and contracted the unique illness Scattered Spirit. With that, those branch lines began to stir, hoping to seize the Patriarch's position once Xi'Er couldn't be saved."
Liu Zixuan grinned, "Throughout history, it seems all families have fought fiercely for the Patriarch's position, sparking internal strife, and it turns out the National Doctor families are no different!"
"Indeed, with changes over time, everything has become monetized. Ancient traditions can no longer sustain living; once benefits appear, pure things inevitably become tainted."
The old lady sighed, "Those branches have recently succeeded in business, already surpassing us financially. Coveting the Patriarch's seat, they wish to openly use the Medicine Saint's name to expand their interests!"
"Young benefactor, such an existence is daring even for us direct lines, let alone for you. I think you understand the danger!"
Liu Zixuan nodded, "Even without your explanation, I can understand. However…if a patient I can cure dies not by their own choice, then am I still a doctor?"
"Since coming here, I've seen quite a few families and dealt with them to some extent. So there's no need for further explanations. Once I've decided, it won't change. I'll heal Li Ruqi, and if they really seek revenge, then let them!"
"Elder sister, I think the young miracle doctor is right. In the eyes of a truly qualified doctor, there is no tyranny, no distractions, only the patient!"
Wei Lao chuckled, "Moreover, nowadays, such upright people like the young miracle doctor are rare. Willing to treat despite great risk, surely you won't reject his goodwill!"
"Ah, it's rare, truly rare to find such a doctor devoted solely to patients!" The old lady sighed, "But after the treatment, I'll take Xi'Er away and think of a compromise to answer the association!"
"I'll find a way for that!"
Since Liu Zixuan helped them so much, Wei Lao naturally decided to take some risk as well.
"Alright, enough thinking, let's treat the illness first!"
Saying this, the old lady took out a large pile of herbs from her bag, "These are the over twenty herbs needed for the treatment, which we've already prepared, just missing the Nether Spirit Needle!"
Liu Zixuan chuckled, "I was just about to ask you for it!"
Taking the herbs from the old lady, Liu Zixuan went upstairs. These twenty or so herbs, some needed processing, couldn't be taken directly!
Watching Liu Zixuan go upstairs, the old lady sighed and sat down, "I didn't expect our young benefactor to be so upright. Last night, that situation was utterly mistaken. Xi'Er, once our young benefactor cures you and you successfully take over the family affairs, you must repay him doubly!"
"Grandma, I will!"
Li Ruqi nodded firmly, "The benefactor is like giving me a second life. I will definitely repay him with all my might in the future!"
"I hope Wei Lao isn't laughing at us!" The old lady forced a smile toward Wei Lao.
"What are you talking about, elder sister? Every family has its share of troubles, whether it's a family or an ordinary household, all the same!"
Wei Lao chuckled, "But you indeed found the right person. The young miracle doctor is not only skilled in medical arts but also impeccable in conduct. Though I am the director of this hospital, it's really thanks to the young miracle doctor's assistance time and again."
"Do you know where the young miracle doctor comes from?" The old lady suddenly asked.
Wei Lao shook his head, "I don't. I only know he wasn't in Ghost Wood City before, he came from Lingxiu Village a few months ago. But considering his amazing medical skills, his background must be extraordinary!"
"Yes, such a talented and promising young man could only come from two possibilities: a Heaven-favored genius, or a real offspring of a prominent family."
"But I've never heard him say anything, and to my knowledge, there's no Liu family in Star Sea!" Wei Lao, being prompted by the old lady, became curious too.
The old lady pondered, "Indeed, there's no well-known Liu family. This young miracle doctor is quite mysterious. However, if he doesn't bring it up, we shouldn't ask. Everyone has their own privacy, or perhaps post privacy, there might be painful memories!"
"Yes." Wei Lao nodded in agreement.
"By the way, you mentioned earlier that a call came from the National Medical Association, and you seem to be on good terms with the young benefactor. Is he also part of the association?" The old lady suddenly asked.
"Yes, he is now the chair of the Ghost Wood City National Medical Association." Speaking of this, Wei Lao felt somewhat proud since neither the old lady nor Li Ruqi were ordinary figures. Boasting about having such a young miracle doctor in his city was indeed something to beam about!
"The future of National Doctor looks promising!" The old lady comforted with a smile, "Now, National Doctor is declining yearly. Having a strong presence like the young benefactor, its rise is just a matter of time!"
"Granny, you flatter me!" Liu Zixuan came down from the stairs and waved to Li Ruqi, "Come, I'll treat you. The Scattered Spirit illness requires quietness, so follow me upstairs!"
"Thank you, benefactor." After these events, Li Ruqi's attitude towards Liu Zixuan became increasingly respectful!
