CHAPTER 1819: CHAPTER 1820: TAKING A MASTER

Originally, both Zhen Luo and Zhen Jiang were already far away, and you could have turned around and retreated, but there were still many people behind you. Although these people didn’t have much of a relationship with you, they were still part of the Zhen Family, and you can’t guarantee that that bastard Liu Bei wouldn’t take out his anger on them.

The Liu Bei standing in front of you is not the same as the one from history, who was outwardly righteous but inwardly corrupt and vile. This man is a complete scoundrel. Usually, if you encounter this kind of scoundrel, you would want to eliminate them. But clearly, you don’t have the strength to do so now; surviving is already quite good.

You let out a long sigh. At this moment, Guan Yu moved. In your line of sight, you saw a dazzling arc, drawing closer from afar, a simple yet magnificent slash!

On the surface, this slash seemed no different from the previous one, but the sense of crisis within you intensified. Suddenly, an illusion seemed to appear in your eyes; the dazzling arc suddenly began to change, the originally simple arc of light instantly scattering and intertwining, transforming into a huge, hideous Azure Dragon!

"Azure Dragon Roar!"

At this moment, you had no way to avoid it, and could only raise both hands in defense in front of you!

Then listen to a dragon roar echoing across the sky, the terrifying Azure Dragon crashing straight into you, carrying you a hundred meters before crashing heavily to the ground.

After crashing to the ground, you didn’t get up again; Guan Yu stared coldly at you for a moment, then turned to walk towards Liu Bei.

"Second Brother, just now... what was that..." Zhang Fei was awakened by the immense dragon roar, and upon waking, witnessed a scene he would never forget.

Guan Yu looked at Zhang Fei, and in a calm voice said, "I’ll teach you when we get back!"

"Alright!"

Though Liu Bei could never forget Zhen Luo, he didn’t dare to speak out at this moment, as he wasn’t truly the Boss now.

"However, Li Muyun is dead, so for now Zhen Luo is safe," Liu Bei could only comfort himself with these thoughts. He took one last look in the direction Zhen Luo and Zhen Jiang rode off, as the four of them galloped quickly towards elsewhere.

"Am I dead?" you found your surroundings utterly dark, your consciousness awake but unable to open your eyes, nor hear any external sounds. Your body seemed out of your control; the only thing clear was your mind.

It was unknown how long it had been; you felt waves of soreness throughout your entire body, yet you couldn’t move, nor open your eyelids. Slowly, that sensation of soreness gradually subsided, and then you began to hear people’s voices.

The soft sobbing is probably Zhen Jiang. Although Zhen Jiang seems bold, she’s actually more of a gentle lady than anyone, but fate was cruel to her before, as she lost several husbands before even entering the household. The sighing voice is likely from Lady Zhang; her voice eternally filled with that kind of aged texture.

You didn’t hear Zhen Luo’s voice. At first, he was a bit anxious, but then he felt a pair of hands, gently pressing and massaging his body, the strength light and skillful, perfectly easing your nerves, calming both your body and mind.

This comfortable feeling never ceased, even as the surroundings became unusually quiet. Without the light, unaware of time, you simply lay there. Gradually, feeling some strength return, you slowly opened your eyes.

The first thing you saw was a slightly weary face, delicate but appearing somewhat dim, even carrying a hint of sorrow. This person was Zhen Luo, currently sleeping soundly at your bedside, deeply asleep.

After opening your eyes, you realized some of your strength had returned, quietly sat up, and got out of bed, then gently lifted Zhen Luo. She seemed extremely exhausted, sleeping deeply and soundly. You tenderly placed Zhen Luo back on the bed, kissed her forehead gently, and then slowly stood up.

Although unsure what happened to your body, you sensed it had been treated by someone, though your limbs felt stiff, making walking somewhat difficult.

Pushing open the door, you found the first ray of morning sunshine shining down on you. For the first time, you experienced the sensation of warmth enveloping your body and the thrilling feeling of everything being clear when touched by sunlight.

"Have you sensed the power of the Five Elements?" At this moment, a gentle but slightly aged voice came from not far away.

You turned your head and saw an elderly man with white hair sitting under a big tree in the courtyard. If he hadn’t spoken, you wouldn’t have noticed his presence.

"Who are you..." you asked, somewhat puzzled, looking at the old man.

The old man slowly stood up, smiling as he looked at you, "Your body’s structure is truly remarkable. I’ve been practicing medicine for over thirty years, traveling all across Jiangnan, yet I’ve never seen a physique as unique as yours. Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Hua Tuo."

"Huh?" You raised an eyebrow, utterly unexpected to meet this legendary Divine Doctor here.

Having grown accustomed to historical figures, you weren’t as astonished as before, and cupped your fist towards Hua Tuo, "So it’s Divine Doctor Hua. May I ask if it was Hua Divine Doctor who has been treating me since my injury?"

Hua Tuo nodded with a smile, then shook his head, "I was only assisting on the side; the one who actually treated you was the Honorable Lady."

"Lady?" you muttered softly, then realized Hua Tuo meant Zhen Luo. Only then did you notice you were neither at the Longmen Escort Agency nor the original small courtyard at the Zhen Mansion. This place was entirely unfamiliar, full of fragrance and lush greenery, clearly a woman’s residence. With this realization, you understood Zhen Luo had cared so meticulously for you, placing you in her boudoir.

Touched by Zhen Luo’s dedication, your heart filled with boundless sweetness.

You walked over to Hua Tuo, giving him a deep bow, "Divine Doctor Hua, the grace of saving my life, I shall never forget!"

Hua Tuo helped you up, a serene smile on his face, "I’ve practiced medicine for many years to alleviate the world’s suffering, yet, in the end, I am but one person, with a heart willing but limited strength."

Looking at Hua Tuo, a thought suddenly flashed in your mind, and you said immediately, "Divine Doctor Hua, I have an idea, I’m not sure if you think it’s feasible?"

"Oh? Do tell." Hua Tuo hadn’t expected someone like you, seemingly rough, to come up with any good ideas.

"Throughout the Nine Provinces, there are countless doctors, but medical skills are inconsistent across regions, and medicinal herbs are hard to circulate, which substantially weakens the ability to save lives. Uh... speaking like a scholar is hard, let me just say it straightforwardly."

Realizing you couldn’t mimic the scholars’ roundabout way of speaking, you just laid it out plainly.

"My idea is to establish a school dedicated to teaching medical arts, with professional teachers teaching on-site, taking students for internships, so they can quickly and efficiently learn life-saving medical skills. Additionally, organizing medical herb procurement throughout the Nine Provinces, categorizing and inventorying them, establishing uniformly managed clinics in each region. This way, your wish can be fulfilled."

Hua Tuo gazed at you, dumbstruck for a moment, then suddenly changed his calm demeanor, grabbing you firmly, staring you straight in the eye, asking, "Is this approach feasible?"
