“Yes, take a look at my left hand and leg. They’ve almost gone back to normal. They are just a bit weak.” He Shili moved his left arm and leg in front of the woman.

“My husband also had a stroke. He is still in the hospital in town. I heard you got better after a few massage sessions. I’m just wondering which doctor you saw?” the woman asked.

“I saw a doctor in Wang Family village. I not only had massage but also acupuncture. I was treated for 10 days and spent $1,000. Now, I’m as good as new,” He Shili said.

“What is the name of the doctor you saw?” the woman asked.

“His surname is Wang. He is the only doctor in that village. It won’t be difficult for you to find him,” He Shili said.

“Great, thank you very much,” the woman said.

She left with the information and returned to the hospital. She told her husband and son about it.

“I think you were fooled by him.” Her son still didn’t believe it.

“We’ll go see the doctor after you are discharged,” the woman said.

“OK.” Her husband nodded.

…

Su Xiaoxue was still talking to Wang Yao in the clinic. She had no intention of leaving. “Dr Wang, I want to practice the breathing exercise with you.”

Wang Yao was shocked. “With me? But this is a clinic.”

“Then, I can learn medicine from you first,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“What?” Wang Yao didn’t know what to say. “Your family will allow you to stay here?”

He knew Su Xiaoxue was from a prominent family in Beijing. Actually, she was from one of the most prominent families. How would it possible for such a family to allow their precious daughter to stay in an isolated village?

“I don’t need my family’s permission,” Su Xiaoxue said.

The princess didn’t say this before she left home, Chu Lian thought. She was worried.

While Wang Yao was trying to figure out what he should say to Su Xiaoxue, Zheng Shixiong came into the clinic.

“Sorry to bother you, Dr. Wang.” Zheng Shixiong took a glance at Su Xiaoxue and Chu Lian.

What a stunner! The young woman was as pretty as a fairy in a painting. The other woman was also good looking.

“What can I do for you?” Wang Yao asked.

“Are you available for lunch? My treat,” Zheng Shixiong said.

“Thank you, but I have two friends that came all the way here to visit me. I promised to take them for lunch,” Wang Yao said.

“That’s fine. We can catch up on another day,” Zheng Shixiong said.

He nodded to Su Xiaoxue and Chu Lian with a smile before leaving the clinic. Outside the clinic, he noticed the women’s car. They are from Beijing! They came here to see Dr Wang for treatment?

Wang Yao invited Su Xiaoxue, Chu Lian, Chen Ying, and Chen Zhou to the restaurant in the village next door for lunch.

Su Xiaoxue didn’t leave in the afternoon. She went back to the clinic with Wang Yao and asked a number of questions, which were mainly related to the breathing exercise. Wang Yao seemed to be the only person who could help her with it.

After checking Su Xiaoxue’s progress, Wang Yao had to admit that Su Xiaoxue was very gifted in practicing the breathing exercise. Without the assistance from the system, Wang Yao would be beaten by Su Xiaoxue.

Chu Lian sat quietly in the corner listening to their conversation.

What Wang Yao’s explanation wasn’t new to Su Xiaoxue. She had a basic idea of internal power. However, she didn’t think it actually existed. After all, not many people were keen to practice kung fu nowadays. Most people who practiced it just wanted to keep fit. No one spent a lot of time doing a breathing exercise. Even people who had the time couldn’t get the point of a breathing exercise. Gradually, no one really cared about internal power anymore.

Chu Lian didn’t know the level of Wang Yao’s internal power. However, she was impressed by his ability to make his sound travel over 32 feet from the room to the door in the morning. She could hear Wang Yao clearly. It was as if the sound was made by the internal power described in kung fu novels.

Wang Yao had nothing to hide. He didn’t sense any internal power in Chu Lian, who wouldn’t understand what he said to Su Xiaoxue anyway. He quoted a lot of contents from Taoism scriptures. The contents in The Natural Classics didn’t actually exist. They were just theories.

Su Xiaoxue paid attention to every single word Wang Yao said. Time passed quickly. Before long, it was 4 p.m.

“Miss Su, we should leave,” Chu Lian said.

“Right. Sorry to bother you for so long.” Su Xiaoxue didn’t want to leave.

“That’s fine,” Wang Yao said.

“Are you available tomorrow?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“I’ll be here as usual tomorrow,” Wang Yao said.

“Can I come here tomorrow?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“Of course,” Wang Yao said.

“We really should go. Sorry to bother you,” Chu Lian said with a smile.

“That’s fine,” Wang Yao said.

Su Xiaoxue and Chu Lian left the clinic.

“Have you had a good day, Miss?” Chu Lian gently asked after they left the clinic.

“Yes, I’m very happy today,” Su Xiaoxue said with a smile. Her mood was written on her face. Her dream had come true. She had met the person she had been missing, so of course she was happy.

“Miss, we can’t visit Dr. Wang all the time. He needs to see patients,” Chu Lian said.

“I know. But, I really want to learn from him,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“I’m not sure if he will let you follow him, but your parents probably won’t let you do it,” Chu Lian said.

“You never know.” Su Xiaoxue blinked her eyes.

…

In Beijing, Guo Zhenghe was visiting Su Xiaoxue’s house.

“She is away? Where has she gone?” he asked.

“Just traveling around. Chu Lian is with her,” Song Ruiping said with a smile.

“Oh, I see. I’ll drop in another day,” Guo Zhenghe said.

“OK,” Song Ruiping said.

Without showing any disappointment, Guo Zhenghe said goodbye to Song Ruiping politely.

“What a shame. That boy has changed so much,” Song Ruiping said with a sigh.

“Who are you talking about?” A low but powerful voice came into the room.

“Hey, how come you are back this time of the day?” Song Ruiping asked.

“I forgot to take some paperwork this morning. I’ve got to go down south,” Su Xianghua said.

“Where are you going?” Song Ruiping asked.

“Southeast. Where is Xiaoxue?” Su Xianghua asked.

“Where do you think? In that village, of course,” Song Ruiping said.

“Guo Zhenghe just came to look for Xiaoxue?” Su Xianghua asked.

“Yeah, he’s really interested in our daughter,” Song Ruiping said.

“His father came to me to discuss this a while ago,” Su Xianghua said.

“You must have a clear mind on this,” Song Ruiping said.

“Of course. She is our baby girl,” Su Xianghua said. “I have to go.”

“Take care of yourself,” Song Ruiping said.

“I know,” Su Xianghua said.

…

The dim light of night started to spread around the country. The foggy and cold moonlight was like gauze. It was very quiet in the village.

“Thank you for having us, Chen Ying,” Su Xiaoxue said with a smile.

She didn’t stay in a hotel. Instead, she stayed in the house rented by Chen Ying. The house contained four rooms, a living room, a kitchen, and two bedrooms.

Chu Lian didn’t want to stay there initially. After all, they had a driver with them. However, Su Xiaoxue insisted on staying with Chen Ying and Chen Zhou. Chu Lian didn’t have a choice.

“Does Dr. Wang go back to Nanshan Hill?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“I think so,” Chen Ying said.

“He stays on the hill?” Chu Lian asked with confusion.

“Dr. Wang has a herbal field on Nanshan Hill. He spends most nights there,” Su Xiaoxue said. “It’s a shame I’ve never been to Nanshan hill. Have you been there before?”

“Yes,” Chen Ying said.

“What does it look like?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“Extraordinary,” Chen Ying said after keeping silent for a moment.

“Really? I want to go there to have a look. Shall we go together tomorrow morning?” Su Xiaoxue suggested.

“Well, Dr. Wang has recently blocked the entrance to his herbal field,” Chen Ying said.

“What do you mean?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“He built a fence by planting trees to stop people entering the herbal field,” Chen Ying said.

“Why?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“A man died several days ago on Nanshan Hill. Rumor has it that his death is related to Dr. Wang,” Chen Ying said.

“Nonsense,” Su Xiaoxue said. She stood by Wang Yao’s side without the knowledge of what had happened.

“I don’t think Dr. Wang likes people he doesn’t know to go to Nanshan Hill. There was an outbreak of a contagious disease here a short while ago. The origin of infection was on Xishan Hill. It’s hard to say if there is also bacteria on Nanshan Hill. It’s probably not a good idea for you to go there anyway,” Chen Ying said.

“I’m not afraid of the bacteria. We have Dr. Wang here. Let’s go tomorrow,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“OK, I’ll go with you,” Chen Ying said.

In Sun Yunsheng’s house, Mr. Wu was checking Zheng Weijun’s pulse. Zheng Weijun was still in a deep sleep.

“How is he, Uncle Wu?” Zheng Shixiong asked.

“According to his pulse, his condition is stable. It’s actually slightly better,” Mr. Wu said.
