"Master, please eat something first."


    Lu Qing brought in some food.


    Because Young Master Wei''s condition was not optimistic, the old doctor had to stay by his side at all times and could hardly leave the ward.


    Lu Qing had gone to the kitchen to make some food and brought it over.


    "Mm, just leave it here, I''ll eatter."


    The old doctor was checking Young Master Wei''s pulse, his brows slightly furrowed.


    At this moment, Guard Li was arranging matters outside, leaving only the master and apprentice in the ward with the unconscious Young Master Wei.


    Lu Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Master, can this young master be saved?"


    "It''s hard to say." The old doctor sighed. "He lost too much blood. When he was brought in, there was hardly any blood left in his body. If it weren''t for his strong constitution and the life-saving medicine given by Guard Li and the others, he wouldn''t have survived until now.""Master, I see that this young masteres from an extraordinary family. If he doesn''t wake up, will the Wei family me us?" Lu Qing asked.


    The old doctor paused.


    Then he turned to Lu Qing and said, "LuQing, you must remember that as healers, the most important thing is to avoid hesitation and second-guessing."


    "Once we decide to save someone, we must be fully dedicated and focused on the treatment. This is medical ethics."


    "If you don''t want to treat someone, you should leave before starting."


    "But once you begin treatment, you must do your best, so you can have a clear conscience."


    "I understand, Master," Lu Qing replied earnestly.


    "As for your concern..." The old doctor hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don''t worry, the Wei family is arge family, and the head of the Wei family is a reasonable person. We are just doing our job of saving lives. Even if something unfortunate happens to this young master, they won''t me us."


    Lu Qing seemed thoughtful.


    After leaving the ward, Lu Qing was still pondering his master''s words.


    He did not entirely agree with his master.


    His master had a kind heart and couldn''t bear to see others suffer, so he treated all patients equally, as long as they weren''t evil.


    But Lu Qing did not have such noble sentiments.


    He preferred to help people ording to his own preferences.


    However, he did agree with one thing his master said.


    If you''re going to treat someone, you should do your best so you have no regrets.


    "Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu."


    While Lu Qing was deep in thought, someone called out to him.


    Looking up, he saw Mago waving to him from outside the courtyard.


    "Master Ma, what is it?"


    Lu Qing walked over.


    The Wei family''s guards, who were standing in the courtyard, only nced over and then ignored them.


    To them, nothing was more important than their young master''s safety at this moment.


    Lu Qing followed Mago to a secluded ce.


    There was another person waiting there, whom Lu Qing recognized as one of Mago''s men.


    "Master Ma, what is this about?" Lu Qing asked.


    "Young Master Lu, thanks to you and Master Chen, Young Master Wei''s life was saved. If anything had happened to him, you wouldn''t see me here now," Mago said with some relief.


    "Master Ma, you''re too kind. It was mainly my master''s skill. I only helped a little," Lu Qing replied.


    "Young Master Lu, you''re too modest. Your skill in preparing and brewing medicine is exceptional. You''ll surely be a great doctor like your master in the future."


    Mago was not ignorant.


    In such an urgent situation, Lu Qing had perfectly prepared the life-saving medicine as Master Chen required.


    This could not have been done without a solid medical foundation and strong psychological resilience.


    ording to his subordinate Xiao Tian''s investigation, Lu Qing had not been Master Chen''s apprentice for long.


    To have grown so much in such a short time, Lu Qing''s talent in medicine might not be inferior to his martial arts talent.


    A young man with exceptional talent in both martial arts and medicine, Lu Qing''s importance in Mago''s eyes had only increased.


    "Young Master Lu, didn''t you say you wanted a battle de? I brought it for you."


    Before Lu Qing could continue being modest, Mago spoke again.


    "So soon?" Lu Qing was surprised. "Didn''t you say it would be ready on the next Grand Bazaar day?"


    "Young Master Lu''s matter is naturally important to me," Mago said, signaling Xiao Tian behind him. "Xiao Tian, bring the de."


    Xiao Tian immediately presented the long de he had been holding.


    Mago took it and handed it to Lu Qing.


    "This battle de was crafted by a top cksmith in the city. It can cut through iron like mud, is extremely durable, and has a simple design that matches your requirements perfectly."


    Lu Qing took the de and unsheathed it, hearing a pleasant ringing sound.


    Looking at the de in his hand, he saw that the de''s surface was finely textured, the edge was exceptionally sharp, and it exuded a chilling aura that made his skin tingle.


    After sheathing the de, Lu Qing said, "Master Ma, this de must be very valuable. I can''t afford it."


    Even though Lu Qing didn''t know much about swords, he could tell that this de was worth far more than a few dozen taels of silver.


    "You don''t need to pay, Young Master Lu. Consider it a gift from me," Mago said.


    "I can''t ept such an expensive gift," Lu Qing shook his head, trying to return the de.


    "Young Master Lu, please don''t decline. You and your master saved Young Master Wei''s life, which means you saved my life too. A life-saving favor cannot be repaid with just a battle de, so please ept it," Mago insisted.


    After some back-and-forth, Lu Qing finally said, "Alright, I''ll hold onto the de for now. If Young Master Wei wakes up, I''ll ept it as a gift."


    If something happened to Young Master Wei, he could always use his family''s hundred-year-old ginseng.


    "Agreed, we''ll do as you say. For now, the de is yours. If Young Master Wei wakes up, it''s yours to keep," Mago said.


    Lu Qing didn''t know what to say to Mago''s persistent attitude.


    In the end, the de stayed with Lu Qing for the time being.


    However, this also piqued Lu Qing''s curiosity about the Wei family.


    What kind of family could make a Tendons and Bones Realm expert like Mago so fearful?


    And the Wei family''s guards, their words and actions showed immense respect for their master.


    "Master Ma, what kind of family is the Wei family that makes you so respectful?" Lu Qing couldn''t help but ask.


    "The Wei family?" Mago''s face showed aplicated expression. "The Wei family is quite something."
