1031 The People who were Waiting
Shangguan Yu had become an official for the past two years. Despite he was being a disabled, it didn’t hinder his path in become a low ranked official. Naturally, he was not too satisfied with this position, but he had to start from somewhere.
And in this situation where the relationship between kingdoms were not too good, going to the border would be the same as putting his life on the line.
If he was suspected of being a spy, he might be punished or even executed.
If Shi Long Kingdom were to find out about his whereabouts, he might even be captured to become a war prisoner. After all, his two cousins were famous on the battlefield as a general and a young commander.
The two of them had long made a name for themselves on the battlefield.
“I will stay in the nearby city under Shangguan Xian’s rule. Would it be fine that way, Traveling Doctor Liu?”
“Yes, it is.” Traveling Doctor Liu nodded. “I also need one of my disciples as assistant to help in the operation. I hope that you wouldn’t mind since this man is already old and advance in age.”
Shangguan Yu nodded. “This one wouldn’t mind that much.”
He also knew that Traveling Doctor Liu no longer performed any surgery on his own. It was often replaced by his disciples starting from a few years ago because he had been quite advanced in age. If it was a short and simple treatment, he could still handle it.
.....
But a long surgery that required a lot of stamina was clearly impossible for him.
“Alright then…”
They talked a bit more about the situation before they departed.
Shan Yu was looking at Traveling Doctor Liu but he was too lazy to reveal Traveling Doctor Liu’s lie. The real reason why he wanted them to head to Shi Long Kingdom’s border was because the only person who could do the surgery for this kind of untreatable injury was Luo Qing Wei.
Traveling Doctor Liu himself couldn’t do it.
‘Some people are really born as genius.’
The more Shan Yu knew about Luo Qing Wei’s capability, the more he felt that the word genius was not enough to describe her. At the same time, he also knew that there were a lot of people who would surely look for her.
Those who were diagnosed with untreatable disease would try to find her in order to find the cure.
At that time, the balance of the world might be broken.
‘Well, that’s just my thought.’
Shan Yu decided to push the thought to the back of his mind. It was more important for him to follow Traveling Doctor Liu and made sure that he would still be fine even when he heard some devastating news later.
After all, Shan Yu didn’t believe that there wouldn’t be some bloody confrontation later on between the disciples.
When all cordiality was shed off, it was time for them to fully show their true color.
