After lunch, Su Tao continued treating patients. Although there were all sorts of illnesses, and some were complicated, Su Tao relied on TCM's emergency treatment in addressing them. Although they couldn't immediately recover, alleviating their condition was Su Tao's request for all the physicians in the Three Flavour Hall.

Compared to western medicine, TCM's efficiency was definitely slower. Truth be told, physicians had tons of ways to improve a patient's condition. Take cold and flu, for example. The effect of drinking TCM medicine was more efficient when compared to western medicine's pills.

After Su Tao served the last patient, he came to the entrance and stretched his body.

The sun was setting and masked a dusky radiance over the walls.

Walking over to Su Tao, Xiao Jingjing held a brown teacup and asked, "This is a herbal tea that Wang Peng concocted. Master, do you want to give it a try?"

Su Tao was pretty satisfied with his second disciple, Wang Peng. A master could only lead his disciple in, and it's up to the disciple to find his own path. Wang Peng has already obtained a small achievement in researching medicine. This was a heat expelling herbal tea, which Wang Peng forsook his sleep to create.

Taking a sip of the tea, Su Tao frowned and commented, "The effect of dispelling heat in the body is outstanding, and it can also swiftly balance the liver's energy. However, the taste isn't that great, so you guys will have to adjust it to suit the market's taste buds."

"This tea contains several herbs to harmonise the spleen and stomach, and they were added after careful deliberations. Summer is heaty, and people are vulnerable to heatstroke due to the deficiency of cold in the stomach and spleen. Not only can this tea lower the temperature, but it can also nourish the stomach and spleen." Xiao Jingjing explained on behalf of Wang Peng.

Waving his hand, Su Tao smiled. "Wang Peng's thoughts are meticulous, and according to common sense, those with deficiency of coldness in the spleen and stomach should avoid tea in summer. Although the honeysuckle, common selfheal, and chrysanthemum can expel the heat in the body, it's unbeneficial to those with issues in their spleen and stomach, such as those suffering from abdomen pain, and vomiting symptoms. However, herbs that are beneficial to the spleen and stomach such as the epimedium, costus root, calendula, ginger, and red date can neutralise the medicinal effects. At the same time, they will also taste weird upon being mixed together. On the contrary, you can simplify things by replacing them with lemongrass and radish seed."

Hearing Su Tao's remark, Xiao Jingjing was filled with admiration. Su Tao's taste buds were formidable. He only had to taste the tea to analyse the herbs contained within it. This ability wasn't something that could be learned from books alone. Only someone like Li Shizhen, who personally tasted all kinds of herbs in the world, could achieve such accuracy.

"I'll immediately tell Wang Peng about it and let him adjust the tea!" Xiao Jingjing took the teacup from Su Tao.

Waving his hand, Su Tao smiled. "You don't have to tell him the exact ones. Just have to tell him that I'm not satisfied with the taste. Let him find the appropriate herbs himself, and I believe that he will definitely improve on his own."

Nodding her head with a smile, Xiao Jingjing left with the teacup. Su Tao had no idea if his method was appropriate to teach his disciple, but he's too busy, and he's also someone who enjoyed freedom. This method could bring out more of his disciple's potential.

If Wang Peng really succeeded in fixing the taste while retaining its effect, then it would definitely have more market compared to those low-cost herbal teas in the market.

After waiting at the entrance for roughly half an hour, he finally saw his master, Jiang Qinghan. Jiang Qinghan leaped out from the vehicle, wearing a blue uniform. She hasn't reached the Head of the Division, or she would be wearing a white uniform by now.

Although her uniform was a little big, it gave her an experienced and bright bearing because of her skinny frame.

"You went to look for Yan Sha's grandfather?" Jiang Qinghan glared at Su Tao.

"Yeah, I intend to head to Russia with you and look for your husband." Su Tao smiled.

Despite the warmth she felt in her heart, Jiang Qinghan spoke otherwise, "Why do you like to poke your nose into someone else's business so much?"

"This is not someone else's business. You're my master, and that means that you're equivalent to a family of mine." Su Tao replied, still wearing that smile.

Letting out a sigh, Jiang Qinghan replied, "Since you're so determined, then I'll bring you along to Russia. Pass me your identity card in the next few days; I'll handle your passport and visa."

However, Su Tao shook his head and claimed, "Leave this matter to me. You're a government official, and if you're not applying for a visa on official business, I'm afraid that your superior might not approve it. Furthermore, it will take about twenty days for the visa to be done even if it's approved, a waste of precious time."

Looking at Su Tao with a complicated gaze, Jiang Qinghan sighed, "It looks like you've done your research."

Patting himself on his chest, Su Tao smiled. "I'm a reliable and steady man."

"Occasionally, you're still pretty convincing. Let's do it separately, then. You go with your shortcut, and I'll go through the official procedure. We'll see who can get it done first." Jiang Qinghan smiled.

"Let's bet on that." Su Tao smiled.

"Bet what?" Jiang Qinghan smiled along.

"If I win, you'll have to promise me something unconditionally, and vice-versa if you win." Su Tao replied since he had no better idea at this moment.

"Sure!" Jiang Qinghan agreed as she added, "But it has to be done legally."

"That's a promise, then!" Su Tao smiled as he stretched his pinky out.

Although Jiang Qinghan muttered to herself for Su Tao's childish gesture, she still stretched her pinky out.

As Su Tao pulled onto Jiang Qinghan's pinky, the latter's pinky was more robust than he had imagined.

After bidding his farewell to Jiang Qinghan, Su Tao took out his phone and gave a call to Shui Junzhuo's international number.

Receiving Su Tao's call, Shui Junzhuo was naturally happy and she smiled. "This is your first time calling me, right?"

Scratching his head in embarrassment, Su Tao smiled. "I initially didn't want to make the call, but I have something that I need your help with."

"So you only call me when you need my help? Goodbye, then!" Shui Junzhuo purposely snorted as she pretended to hang up the phone.

However, Su Tao's voice swiftly interrupted her as he tried his best to redeem himself, "Don't! I'm just joking! Actually, I always have the urge to call you before you call me, but for some reason, you were coincidentally a step faster than me all the time."

Naturally, Shui Junzhuo was happy as she chuckled, "So, what is it?"

"If I tell you about it, I'm sure that you will be happy. I intend to make a trip to Russia." Su Tao replied.

"Really?" Shui Junzhuo was naturally pleasantly surprised as she asked, "When?"

"As soon as possible, and this is also the reason why I needed your help." Su Tao spoke as he further added, "Furthermore, I need to bring someone along. Can you help me get the visa done as soon as possible?"

Hearing his words, Shui Junzhuo briefly paused before she asked, "Who is that person?"

"My master, Jiang Qinghan. She wants to look for someone in Russia." Su Tao sighed.

"You're coming to Russia because of her, right?"

For some reason, Shui Junzhuo felt sour in her heart.

"That's not the only reason. I've also been missing you." Su Tao spoke the truth from his heart. He was genuinely missing Shui Junzhuo.

Hearing those words, Shui Junzhuo felt sour in her nose. For her to be away from her motherland, she would definitely feel lonely, so her sore spot was jabbed regardless of how strong she was when she heard Su Tao's words.

"I'll contact the embassy for you, and I believe that there will be news swiftly." Shui Junzhuo smiled with tears flickering in her eyes.

Ending his call with Shui Junzhuo, Su Tao came to his room and suddenly felt that he was stupid for helping Shui Junzhuo.

Although he'd never confessed his feelings to Jiang Qinghan, they existed deep inside his heart. Since that's the case, why was he helping Jiang Qinghan to look for Yan Sun?

At this moment, he felt his heart spinning into turmoil, but he soon felt a little relieved after figuring it all out.

He didn't want to see the police Bella, Jiang Qinghan, in pain.

He hoped that Jiang Qinghan would always be that decisive and heroic lady.

Suddenly, he was shocked. Since when did his mentality reach such a high realm?

Since Shui Junzhuo was stationed in Russia, to begin with, she naturally swiftly sorted out Su Tao and Jiang Qinghan's visas.

Furthermore, the method she used was ingenious.

Recently, there's been close business contact between China and Russia as Russia's businessmen have been supporting China in building a new Silk Road that connected Asia and Europe in high profile. At the same time, China would be sending a representative group to Russia for diplomatic interaction.

What Shui Junzhuo did was put Su Tao and Jiang Qinghan into the group. With Jiang Qinghan's status as a police officer, she became part of the security team, while Su Tao's identity as the National Healer became a healthcare specialist of the group.

In this manner, not only could they swiftly obtain the visas, but they would also be able to obtain a suitable identity to mask their objective. Thus, one could tell what a meticulous person Shui Junzhuo was when handling matters.

The standard of this representative team Was high since a prestigious core official would be leading the group. Even the Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent their heavyweights over. With so many authoritative figures going, they naturally needed high medical standards as well.

The leader of the medical team was someone familiar to Su Tao, Yue Zun. When the latter saw Su Tao, he was delighted and smiled. "With you as my assistant; it's equivalent to giving me a formidable general. It looks like I will be able to dump all my work onto you on this trip."

"Martial Uncle, this is my first time participating in international activities, and I have to seek guidance from you!" Su Tao modestly smiled.

Waving his hand, Yue Zun replied, "Don't worry about it. Just consider this to be a free trip. Generally speaking, this sort of activity won't take up a long time, and there won't be many problems in the group."

Wearing a smile, Su Tao knew that Yue Zun had his own team, and the latter's assistant would be responsible for the ordinary healthcare services.

Flying from Beijing to China takes about seven and a half hours. When the plane touched down, everyone could see how Russia was covered in forests that gave off a majestic view.

Arriving at the airport, Su Tao and the group boarded a luxurious bus. As the bus passed through the outskirts, the sky had gradually darkened. Su Tao looked at Jiang Qinghan's silhouette and couldn't help thinking of a popular song, A Night of Moscow Outskirt.

"Night in the garden is serene as only the wind gently blows!

"The night is beautiful, and the mood is great. On this enchanting night…"
