Chapter 762: Baili Mingxiang's surprise

Gu Qishao was already starting to back away, but Mu Linger didn’t go to pester him. All she did was smile at him. Instead, it was Huang Gengchen that walked up and cupped his hands in greeting. “Esteemed wangfei, Doctor Gu, long time no see. This old man has brought 60 of my disciples with me this time. 10 of them will stay in South Ning City while the rest have been dispatched to various places in search of ill children and the elderly. This...can count as part of this old man’s humble efforts.”

Han Yunxi was so moved, she didn’t know what to say. If anyone had to ask for her feelings, her only thoughts would be that it was a shame she wasn’t a doctor with a bunch of disciples, too. 

Gu Beiyue returned the greetings. “Old Huang, this one has been waiting for you for a long time.”

Old Huang laughed. “Heheh, this old man helped you convinced many doctors. Over the next few days, they’ll come with disciples in tow as well. You can set your cares at rest.” As he finished, he nodded at Han Yunxi once before heading for Pill Fiend Pharmacy.

Han Yunxi’s cold heart finally found warmth. She just knew it, this world still had plenty of good-hearted doctors! 

Mu Linger still stayed put after Huang Gengchen left. “Don’t you worry, just leave Pill Fiend Pharmacy to me and Doctor Huang!” she called out cheerfully. Then she winked at Gu Qishao and abruptly left without a word. Despite his surprise, Gu Qishao couldn’t help but secretly exhale in relief. 

--

It was very busy at Pill Fiend Pharamacy. Plenty of patients were waiting for Mu Linger to examine them, so as a member of a medicine family, she could help out with some minor cases. At times like this, she didn’t have space to waste here. In any case, it’s not like Qi gege will like me if I cling to him. I should hurry back to Pill Fiend Pharmacy and resist everything that Medical City’s done.

She never liked Medical City to begin with. After realizing that Qi gege was the same Gu Qi Sha they’d kicked out in the past, she hated them even more. But after walking some distance away, she couldn’t resist turning back to shout, “Qi gege, take your Poison Corpses and destroy Medical City. Linger will always support you!”

“Silly lass!” Gu Qishao smiled helplessly. That girl had actually supported what Han Yunxi herself rejected. 

Although Doctor Huang had won the support of many other physicians, their help was still limited.

“Doctor Gu, I think our chances of success...aren’t high,” Han Yunxi spoke the truth. 

But Gu Beiyue only said, “Esteemed wangfei, if you turn yourself in, you can save the innocent citizens temporarily, but it won’t last them a lifetime. There’s no need for a guilty conscience, nor should your resolve be shaken. We have to seize this chance to change Medical City’s rules. That’s purely a school of thought and has nothing to do with power plays.”

Han Yunxi never expected Gu Beiyue could understand her so well. He even knew exactly what she had been thinking. His gaze wasn’t sharp, but soft and warm. Despite this, he could see through people’s worries.

Gu Beiyue, you can heal illnesses, people, and the country. Can you...heal hearts as well?

“Esteemed wangfei, our chances for victory are extremely high,” Gu Beiyue continued. “It’ll be the Apricot Woods Conference in a few days. This one will go to participate in the congress.”

The Apricot Woods Conference was held once every five years, It was the most distinguished gathering of Cloud Realm’s medical community, a place where everyone showed off their medical arts. Its competition, combined with the physician’s achievements in the medical field, would re-assign ranks to all its doctors. Physicians of fifth-rank Divine Doctor titles or lower needed the competition to evaluate their ranks. There was a limit to the quota of such participants. But Primogenitor, Sage, Empyreal and Sovereign level doctors relied mostly on their own achievements to evaluate their respective ranks.
