The elder doctor's heart stirred, and he fell into deep thought.
Seeing that the elder doctor had understood his meaning, the cloth-clothed youth smiled.
He nodded to Lu Qing as a form of greeting, then picked up the small bag of Plum Blossom Tea from the table and floated out of the courtyard, heading down the mountain.
After confirming that the cloth-clothed youth had left, Lu Qing asked, "Master, what should we do now?"
Although he didn't specify, the elder doctor knew that Lu Qing was referring to the Wei Family's situation.
The elder doctor sighed, "It seems that this old man cannot escape involvement this time."
"Master, do you intend to go to Wei Mansion to heal the Wei Family's ancestor's injuries?"
"Based on what Zhi Rui said earlier, I'm probably the only one who can heal the Wei Family ancestor's wounds. We've seen the people from the Wei Family before; they are not bad people. I cannot stand idly by and watch them be slaughtered."
Watching his master's serious expression, Lu Qing knew that if his master didn't go this time and the Wei Family were indeed wiped out in the future, he would likely be plagued by guilt for the rest of his life.
If he had not known about the severity of the Wei Family ancestor's injuries, it would be different, but now that he did, he couldn't deceive himself.
There was no helping it; his master simply had that kind-hearted nature.
Now that he thought about it, that cloth-clothed youth must have calculated his master's personality before deliberately making those remarks before leaving.
"Since Master wants to go, then let's go. I support you in this," Lu Qing said. "However, Master, how do you plan to get there? Sneak into Wei Mansion quietly?"
"I'm afraid that won't work," the elder doctor shook his head. "The Wei Family's ancestor's injuries are to the heart meridians. With such a critical issue, how can they trust a stranger of the Innate Realm who bursts into their home unannounced?"
"Moreover, after cultivating to the Innate Realm, we need to often use Divine Soul Power to merge with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, inducting energy into our bodies and refining it into our own Innate True Qi."
"Over time, one inevitably becomes imbued with a hint of the world's essence, which is difficult to conceal. Postnatal Martial Artists cannot detect it, but it cannot be hidden from other Martial Artists of the Innate Realm."
"If I were to sneak into Wei Mansion and the Wei Family's ancestor mistook my intentions, leading to a conflict, then I would be completely without defense."
The elder doctor might not have understood other matters, but when it came to difficult patients, he was all too familiar.
Lu Qing recalled what the cloth-clothed youth had said; indeed, if such a misunderstanding caused a battle of Innate-Level fighters in the county, it'd be a grave injustice.
"So, we need someone from Wei Mansion who is sufficiently trusted to introduce us and avoid this unnecessary conflict." A flash of insight struck Lu Qing. "Mrs. Wei and Young Master Wei!"
"That is a good idea, but I'm afraid that might entail some risks for them," the elder doctor said.
"We're acting to save the Wei Family. I'm sure Mrs. Wei will understand," Lu Qing said.
He knew that if Mrs. Wei found out the reason, she would likely be even more anxious than him and his master.
"Alright, go and bring them out of the mountain. We'll depart for the county this afternoon," the elder doctor nodded.
So, Lu Qing took Little Li and rushed into the mountains. Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire
After the cloth-clothed youth's visit, he had specifically told Little Li to hide and not to meet with him.
After all, the youth's Exotic Treasure was too mysterious, even able to sense changes in heaven and earth's aura from a hundred miles away.
Although he wasn't sure if hiding Little Li was effective, it was still better to avoid a meeting as much as possible.
But, it seemed the cloth-clothed youth had not detected that he had cultivated Divine Soul Power.
This showed that his Exotic Treasure wasn't omnipotent.
At least not every piece of information could be discovered by it.
Unfortunately, the cloth-clothed youth did not display the Exotic Treasure, so Lu Qing's Superpower could not probe and discern what Exotic Treasure it was.
Rushing with Little Li, Lu Qing soon reached the cave where Ma Gu and the others were hiding.
Luckily, all three were inside the cave.
"Brother Lu Qing, what's happened?"
Seeing Lu Qing enter, Ma Gu and the others were shocked.
None of them expected that Lu Qing, who had just left the day before, would return so soon.
"Let's talk on the way, gather your things, we're preparing to leave the mountain."
