Indoors.
"Master!"
Jiang Ning cupped his hands as he watched Wang Jin rise from the bed, his expression showing guilt.
"Shouldnât you be in Dongling City at this time? How come youâre here?" Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning, surprised.
"Master Hong informed the colleagues in Dongling City, they relayed the message at the city gate, and upon hearing this news, I rushed all the way here!"
"You ran all the way?" Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning, his expression touched, and then smiled: "Itâs nothing major, just some superficial wounds. People on the road might have thought you were running for a funeral!"
Jiang Ning calmly shook his head, then turned to the doctor beside him.
"Doctor Niu, how is my masterâs condition?"
"This..." The old man was momentarily speechless, recalling Wang Jinâs previous instructions to him.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately understood.
"Just say it straight, donât worry about my masterâs instructions. If you hide anything and delay my masterâs treatment, you wonât be able to bear the consequences."
The old man, upon hearing these words, glanced at Wang Jin and bit his lip.
"Mr. Jiang, letâs talk outside!"
"Alright!" Jiang Ning nodded.
Then he looked at Wang Jin: "Master, Iâll step outside for a moment! Donât worry, I will definitely do my best to treat your injuries."
He then said to Hong Minghu and Ye Qiu: "Master Hong, Brother Ye, Iâll step outside for a moment!"
"Go ahead!" Hong Minghu laughed heartily: "Now that youâre here, Iâm relieved. Iâll head back to the Inspection Office!"
Ye Qiu, seeing this, also cupped his hands in farewell.
The two of them then departed.
...
Backyard.
Doctor Niu stood before Jiang Ning in a gray long robe.
"Doctor Niu, please donât hide anything, itâs very important!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands.
"Your masterâs condition is troublesome!" Doctor Niu sighed, then said: "Master Wangâs meridians are all destroyed, both leg bones are in crushed state, the fingers of both hands are severely damaged, and his internal organs have varying degrees of injuries."
"If it werenât for Master Wangâs high proficiency in Martial Arts and strong physique, anyone else with similar injuries would have long passed away."
Jiang Ning said: "Can he be cured?"
Doctor Niu shook his head: "My expertise canât completely cure Master Wang. In the best case, heâll only be able to walk with a cane later, and his hands might retain normal function, enough to care for himself, but fighting with others would be impossible!"
"Understood!" Jiang Ning nodded immediately.
His mood, instead of sinking, was secretly relieved.
A doctor with some fame in the county could heal to this extent, then with the Medicine King Valleyâs Valley Master Lu Qingshanâs intervention, recovery would surely be better.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldnât help but fall into contemplation.
Considering how to persuade Lu Qingshan to intervene.
...
A moment later.
Jiang Ning returned to Wang Jinâs room alone.
"Where is Doctor Niu?" Wang Jin asked.
"Master, I sent him away for now!"
"Why?" Wang Jin was somewhat puzzled.
Jiang Ning said: "I plan to take Master to Medicine King Valley to visit Lu Qingshan."
"Medicine King Valley? Lu Qingshan?" Wang Jinâs eyes lit up, filled with hope as he looked at Jiang Ning: "Can you get the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley to intervene?"
As a Martial Artist renowned in the county, no one knew better than Wang Jin about his own physical condition.
He was well aware of the severe damage to his body, and even with successful treatment and recovery, it couldnât restore his previous condition.
Freely walking in the future might be difficult.
Having roamed in one region for years with fame, how could he accept becoming disabled below the waist.
But to prevent worry from his disciples, he could only put on a brave face these last few days.
Now suddenly hearing Jiang Ning would take him to Medicine King Valley to visit Valley Master Lu Qingshan.
This instantly ignited hope in his heart.
Other doctors couldnât achieve full recovery, but Lu Qingshan was different.
As Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, Lu Qingshan was renowned across Dongling County.
Who doesnât know that the most skilled healer in Dongling County is none other than Lu Qingshan.
At this time.
Jiang Ning looked at the bright gleam in Wang Jinâs eyes and slightly nodded.
"He should be persuadable, as Lu Qingshan and I have a good relationship. My elder brother Jiang Liâs hand was healed by him."
"Indeed!" Upon hearing this, Wang Jinâs eyes grew even brighter and he immediately remembered.
Previously, Jiang Liâs right arm was damaged while extinguishing a God Worship Sectâs base, and itâs fully restored now.
He previously didnât know why, hearing Jiang Ningâs words now, he learned it was Lu Qingshanâs intervention.
Thinking of this, Wang Jinâs heart was immediately ablaze with hope.
At this moment.
Jiang Ning spoke: "Master, can you endure long travel?"
"Small matter!" Wang Jin smiled: "Your master has made a name traveling freely in a region, whatâs a little travel discomfort, I can handle it entirely."
...
Backyard.
"Master Wang!"
"Master Wang!"
With Jiang Ning and Wang Jinâs appearance, Zhou Xing and Cheng Ran in the backyard immediately stood and spoke.
Then, they looked at Jiang Ning carrying Wang Jin.
"Brother Jiang, whatâs this..." Cheng Ran seemed puzzled.
Zhou Xing beside him also showed curiosity.
Because at this moment, Wang Jin was lying on Jiang Ningâs back, Jiang Ning carrying Wang Jin had come out of the house.
Jiang Ning said: "Two senior brothers, Iâm taking Master Wang to Medicine King Valley for treatment; if anyone asks, just tell them truthfully!"
"Understood!" The two immediately responded.
After expressing this.
Jiang Ning wasted no more time.
He exerted force with his legs, leaped, like a White Ape crossing a mountain stream, disappearing instantly behind the buildings.
