342: Chapter 342 My Own Path 342: Chapter 342 My Own Path Tangyu squinted his eyes and smiled as he watched Rao Yuanzhi’s actions, naturally feeling a growing fondness for him.
Some things might seem trivial, but they are the most touching.
Tangyu was like this; if someone respected him a little, he would return three times the respect.
He certainly noticed Rao Yuanzhi’s attempts to form a connection and felt that Rao was worth befriending.
Regardless of whether Rao Yuanzhi’s acts were deliberate, at the very least, his actions showed a full respect for him and saved him face.
Respect is mutual.
If you want to be respected, you must respect others.
Although Fang Min had little experience in these matters, she recognized the extraordinary value of the gold card and immediately said, “Divine Doctor Rao, how can we accept such a precious gift?
We absolutely cannot accept it.”
Fang Tangjing also returned the gold card to Rao Yuanzhi, saying, “Yes, Divine Doctor Rao, this gift is too valuable.
We cannot accept it.”
Rao Yuanzhi gave an elegant smile and said, “It may seem valuable to you, but for me, it is nothing significant.
Tangyu and I are friends; this little thing is not worth mentioning.
Besides, I have no reason to take back something once given.
Hehe, there’s no need to worry.”
The elders looked towards Tangyu; Fang Min also looked at him, unsure how to proceed.
“Since Brother Yuanzhi has offered this kindness, you shouldn’t refuse it.
Please accept it,” Tangyu nodded and said.
“Then, thank you,” said Fang Tangjing.
“Hehe, no need to be polite.
You are all right now and can be discharged from the hospital anytime.
Hospital is not a great place to stay.
if there is nothing else, you should leave soon.
Just be more careful in the future,” Rao Yuanzhi said.
“Hmm.”
“Tangyu, I will take my dad to handle the discharge now.
You have work this afternoon, so I won’t disturb you.
We’ll talk later,” Fang Min said.
“Alright, after you’ve completed the discharge, send Uncle home,” Tangyu said.
Unknown to them, Niu Gaoyuan had already left.
Tangyu and Rao Yuanzhi walked out of the ward, and as soon as they did, a pleasant voice carried over, “Huh, Tangyu, what are you doing here?”
Just by hearing the voice, Tangyu recognized who it was.
He looked over and saw Yan Yan dressed in a blue nurse uniform walking towards them.
Her attire truly gave her a distinctive aura.
It seemed as if the nurse uniform was tailored specifically for her, only truly coming to life when worn by her.
To those with a fondness for uniforms, the sight of Yan Yan in that outfit was irresistibly tempting.
Yan Yan smiled sweetly, exuding an indescribable beauty.
“It’s you, Yan Yan.
A friend’s father is hospitalized, and I came to visit,” Tangyu simply said.
“Oh, and how do you happen to be together?” Yan Yan pointed at Rao Yuanzhi and seemed a bit astonished.
When had the relationship between Tangyu and Rao Yuanzhi become so good?
Rao Yuanzhi smiled and said, “What, can’t I be friends with Tangyu?”
“Hehe, yes, Yan Yan, Yuanzhi and I are good friends now,” Tangyu also said.
“Oh, right,” Yan Yan was even more curious.
Although these two weren’t rivals, because of her slight connection, they shouldn’t have become good friends so quickly.
Could it be that her charm was not enough?
At that moment, Tangyu’s phone rang again; it was from Mo Xiaoqing.
Tangyu nodded to Rao Yuanzhi and answered the call.
“Doctor Tang?” A very young and anxious voice came through, not Mo Xiaoqing’s voice.
“Yes, who is it?
What’s wrong?” Tangyu frowned, sensing that something bad was about to happen.
“I’m a student of Teacher Mo.
Hurry back to school; Teacher Mo has been poisoned,” the voice said.
“What kind of poisoning?
Alright, I’ll come right away.
Move Teacher Mo to her room,” Tangyu immediately said.
After hanging up, he turned to Rao Yuanzhi, “Brother Yuanzhi, I have an emergency and need to leave.
I’ll come to visit another time when I’m free.”
“Okay, sure, you’re welcome anytime.
Do you need a ride?” Rao Yuanzhi asked.
“No, thank you,” Tangyu said.
Yan Yan grabbed Tangyu and asked, “What’s wrong, did something happen to Xiaoqing?”
“Yes, she’s been poisoned,” Tangyu nodded and said.
“What kind of poisoning?
How could she be poisoned?
No, I’ll go back with you.
Rao Zhiyuan, please tell our head nurse that my good friend has had an accident, and I must go take a look,” Yan Yan said.
“Hmm, you go ahead; I’ve got this,” Rao Yuanzhi nodded, watching Tangyu and Yan Yan quickly walk away, Rao Yuanzhi also zoned out momentarily.
It was no secret that he had feelings for Yan Yan, nor was he a man who feared admitting his emotions.
Yan Yan gave him a unique feeling that no other woman had given him; he liked this feeling, so he also liked Yan Yan.
However, he knew that he now probably had a formidable rival in love.
He respected Tangyu greatly, but in matters of love, he was not willing to concede easily.
After hesitating for a moment, Rao Yuanzhi withdrew his gaze and walked towards the back of the hospital until he stopped in front of a small office building.
After passing through several security doors, he eventually stopped in front of an office.
He didn’t knock but just walked straight in.
The office was spacious, but cluttered with many items arranged in an orderly fashion, making the space neat and appealing.
At the bookshelf, an elderly man around sixty stood with his back to him.
Though he was slightly hunched, his silhouette exuded a sense of grandeur and stature.
Dressed in a gray robe which carried an ancient elegance, his hair was flecked with gray.
Rao Yuanzhi came up behind the figure and respectfully called out, “Dad.”
The elderly man then slowly turned around, revealing his face.
It was stern, commanding respect without anger, adorned with a long goatee.
Although in his sixties, his skin was as smooth and vibrant as someone in their forties, showing few wrinkles.
If one were to dye his hair black, he could pass for a forty-year-old.
Clearly, he had made some achievements in the art of health preservation.
“What is it?” Rao Yangshen glanced at Rao Yuanzhi, as if seeing straight through his mind.
“Father, I just met the successor of the Ghost Doctor Sect,” Rao Yuanzhi said.
Rao Yangshen’s expression changed slightly, interest sparking in his eyes as he looked at Rao Yuanzhi, “That Tangyu?”
“Yes,” Rao Yuanzhi replied.
“How come you met him?
He doesn’t have much of a reputation in Donglin City yet, but keep an eye on him,” Rao Yangshen said.
“As far as I know, he’s been in Donglin City for less than a month, but he’s been very low-profile.
Only over the past week has he accomplished a few big things.
First, he caused a significant loss to the Zhou Family, second, he cracked a major drug production case which took down Zhang Guoli of Shengshi Media, and third, he brought some misfortune to Sun Wukong,” Rao Yuanzhi reported.
Rao Yangshen merely nodded slightly, “The successor of the Ghost Doctor Sect, having such capabilities is not surprising.
Having met him, what do you think about him?”
“Not bad, excellent in many aspects.
I can feel that his medical skills are absolutely not inferior to mine,” Rao Yuanzhi said.
Rao Yangshen fell silent, not saying a word, his deep eyes pondering over something.
“Recognizing this is comforting to me as a father.
Although your medical skills are quite good, they still fall short of my expectations.
You cannot meet my expectations, and I certainly won’t take you to meet your grandmaster.
Having Doctor Xiao before and now Tangyu, it’s good that you feel pressured; it can be transformed into motivation for you to further excel in medicine.
As long as you can perfect our Holy Doctor Sect’s Nine Dragons Divine Needle to mastery, you can completely surpass them,” Rao Yangshen advised.
Rao Yuanzhi nodded, “Yes, dad, I will not disappoint you.
By the way, dad, Tangyu also mentioned something major, the Yin Medical Sect has emerged.”
“The Yin Medical Sect?” Rao Yangshen’s brow furrowed, “What about it?”
Rao Yuanzhi relayed the situation, and Rao Yangshen also fell silent for a long while before speaking, “It seems, the Yin Medical Sect has indeed infiltrated Donglin City, and their control over their forces is quite fearsome.
The emergence of the Yin Medical Sect will inevitably lead to a bloody storm, a cataclysm for the martial world, and the common people will also suffer tremendously.”
“Dad, the Yin Medical Sect is truly a malignant tumor.
Our Holy Doctor Sect has always upheld the orthodoxy of the medical community as our own duty.
Now that the Yin Medical Sect has appeared, I think we should also do something,” Rao Yuanzhi said.
Rao Yangshen looked at Rao Yuanzhi but shook his head, “No, the Yin Medical Sect is the Yin Medical Sect, it has nothing to do with our Holy Doctor Sect.
Our sect must not intervene in this matter.”
“Why?” Rao Yuanzhi was taken aback.
“No reason, we just can’t intervene,” Rao Yangshen’s voice carried a hint of sternness.
“I don’t understand,” Rao Yuanzhi said again.
Since dad also knows the Yin Medical Sect is a scourge, why can’t we act against them?
“You don’t need to understand.
You just need to remember, our Holy Doctor Sect will not get involved in any matters concerning the Yin Medical Sect and the Ghost Doctor Sect.
Anything related to these two sects is off-limits for us.
If it were another sect, then our Holy Doctor Sect would definitely go all out,” Rao Yangshen stated firmly.
Rao Yuanzhi really didn’t understand, “Even if I don’t need to understand, we can’t just watch as the Yin Medical Sect wreaks havoc on humanity, right?
We
are doctors; healing the sick is our duty.
How can we just stand by and let such things happen?”
Rao Yangshen’s expression grew grim, his gaze sharpening as he looked at Rao Yuanzhi, something he had never done before in such a tone: “Hmph, we provide medical care to the sick.
But in this matter, we cannot intervene.
This is a rule set by your grandmaster.
Every disciple of our Holy Doctor Sect must not break it; violators will be expelled from the Holy Doctor Sect.
Rao Yuanzhi, I know you always have a generous heart and grand ambitions.
But rules are rules, and they must not be broken.
Stay out of the affairs of the Yin Medical Sect and the Ghost Doctor Sect.
If you do, then I do not want you to interact with that Tangyu in the future.
If you dare to meddle in the affairs of the Yin Medical Sect, I will not be lenient and will punish you according to our sect rules.
Take this as a warning.
The Yin Medical Sect’s problems, let the Ghost Doctor Sect handle them; you don’t need to worry about it.”
Stunned, Rao Yuanzhi stood there, puzzled by such a sect rule.
“I understand, dad.
I’ll leave now,” Rao Yuanzhi left the office, but his mind was in turmoil.
After a while, he clenched his fists tightly: I must follow my own path, and being true to my heart is the only way to be at peace.
