"Master, please eat sothing first."
Lu Qing brought in so food.
Due to Young Master Wei's dire condition, the elder doctor had to standby at all tis, barely able to leave the sick room.
Lu Qing went to the kitchen to prepare so food and brought it over.
"Um, just set it here, I'll eat it later."
Old Doctor Chen was taking Young Master Wei's pulse, his brow slightly furrowed.
At that mont, Guard Li was arranging things outside; only the master and apprentice and the unconscious Young Master Wei were in the sick room.
Lu Qing pondered for a mont and asked, "Master, can we save this young master?"
"It's hard to say." Old Doctor Chen sighed, "He's lost too much blood. When he was brought in, there was hardly any blood left in his body. If not for his strong constitution and the life-saving dicine Guard Li and the others administered, he probably wouldn't have survived the journey here."
"Master, considering this young master's background, it seems quite extraordinary. If he doesn't wake up, will the Wei Family take their anger out on us?" Lu Qing asked.
The elder doctor paused for a mont.
Then he turned to Lu Qing and said, "Ah Qing, rember, as doctors, when treating diseases and healing people, the most taboo thing is to hesitate and second-guess oneself."
"If you decide to save soone, then you must concentrate all your efforts on the treatnt, as this is the dical ethics."
"If you don't want to treat soone, then you should leave and ignore the matter right from the start."
"But, once you start treatnt, you should do your best not to give up halfway, lest you feel guilty."
"Disciple rembers," Lu Qing earnestly replied.
"As for what you're worried about..." Old Doctor Chen paused for a mont before saying, "Rest assured, the Wei Family is a major clan, and the Wei Family Master is not an unreasonable person. We are rely treating and saving people. Even if Young Master Wei really ets with misfortune, they cannot justly bla us."
Lu Qing contemplated thoughtfully.
Leaving the sick room, Lu Qing continued to think about his master's words.
Of course, he didn't completely agree with his master.
His master was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see others suffer, so he treated all patients almost equally, regardless unless they were extrely vile.
But Lu Qing didn't have such noble sentints.
He preferred to help people according to his own likes and dislikes.
However, there was one thing his master said that he did agree with.
That was, if you decided to provide treatnt, then you should do your utmost to heal, so you could be true to your conscience.
"Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu."
As Lu Qing mulled this over, he suddenly heard soone calling him.
Looking up, he saw Ma Gu outside the courtyard, waving to him.
"Ma Gu, what's the matter?"
Lu Qing walked over.
As for the several guards from the Wei Family in the courtyard, they only glanced over and paid him no further attention.
For them, at this mont, nothing was more important than the safety of their own young master.
Following Ma Gu, Lu Qing arrived at a secluded place.
There was another person waiting there, whom Lu Qing recognized as one of Ma Gu's subordinates.
"Ma Gu, what's the matter?" Lu Qing asked.
"Young Master Lu, we owe you and Old Doctor Chen a great debt this ti. Otherwise, Young Master Wei's life would have likely been lost," Ma Gu said with residual fear, "If sothing had actually happened to Young Master Wei, you probably wouldn't see anymore."
"Ma Gu you are too kind, the credit goes mainly to my master for being so formidable, I'm just the assistant and didn't provide much help," Lu Qing shook his head and said.
"Young Master Lu, you are being too modest. With your skill in selecting and preparing dicines, you will surely beco a divine doctor as impressive as your master."
Ma Gu wasn't soone who knew nothing.
In the previous ergency situation, Lu Qing was still able to perfectly follow Old Doctor Chen's instructions, quickly preparing the life-saving dicine needed.
That couldn't be done without a good psychological quality and solid foundation in dical knowledge.
And according to the investigations of his subordinate Xiao Tian, Lu Qing had not been a disciple of the elder doctor for very long.
To have grown so much in such a short period of ti.
Lu Qing's dical talent was probably not inferior to his martial arts talent.
Such a young man with outstanding martial arts and dical skills was increasingly valued in Ma Gu's heart.
"Young Master Lu, didn't you ntion last ti that you wanted a war saber? I have brought one for you," Ma Gu continued before Lu Qing could be modest again.
"So soon?" Lu Qing was surprised, "Didn't you say it would only be available after the next big market day?"
"When it cos to Young Master Lu's matters, I naturally pay more attention," Ma Gu motioned to his attendant behind him, "Xiao Tian, bring the saber here."
Xiao Tian, who was behind him, imdiately presented the long saber he had been cradling in his arms with both hands.
Ma Gu took it and handed it to Lu Qing.
"This war saber was ticulously forged by a master blacksmith in the city. It can slice through iron like mud, is very sturdy, and its design is simple, which fully ets Young Master Lu's requirents."
Lu Qing took the saber, drew it from the scabbard, and heard a pleasing ring of the blade.
He looked at the war saber in his hand, noticing the finely detailed patterns, the exceptionally sharp blade, and the chilling aura that made his skin bristle.
After he sheathed the saber again, Lu Qing said in confusion, "Ma Gu, this saber must be quite valuable, I don't have enough silver to afford it."
Even though Lu Qing was not very familiar with swords, he could tell at a glance that the war saber in his hands could not be bought for just a few dozen silver taels.
"How could I ask Young Master Lu to pay for it? Consider this saber a gift from ," Ma Gu said.
"That's not acceptable, it's too valuable," Lu Qing shook his head, offering the saber back.
"Young Master Lu, there's no need to refuse," Ma Gu quickly said, "this ti you and your master saved Young Master Wei's life, which ans you also saved my life. How could a re war saber repay such a debt? So please, accept this saber."
The two went back and forth, pulling at each other, until finally, Lu Qing really grew impatient.
He simply said, "How about this: if that young master's condition becos clear and he truly wakes up, then I will accept the saber."

If Wei Xiao really faced any critical situations, he could just bring out the Century-old Ginseng from his ho.
"Okay, we'll do as Young Master Lu says. For now, I'll leave the saber with you, Young Master. If Young Master Wei wakes up, the saber will be yours. If he doesn't wake up, I'm afraid I won't be alive to keep it either."
"…"
Facing Ma Gu's sticky attitude, Lu Qing didn't know what to say anymore.
So, in the end, the saber remained temporarily in Lu Qing's possession.
However, this also aroused a slight curiosity in Lu Qing about the Wei Family.
What kind of family was it that could make a person like Ma Gu, with a background and in the Muscle Bone Realm, feel such fear?
And those Wei Family guards as well, their speech was full of reverence for their family head.
"Ma Gu, what kind of background does the Wei Family have to command such respect from you?" Lu Qing couldn't help but ask softly out of curiosity.
"The Wei Family?" Upon hearing this, Ma Gu's face showed a complex expression, "That Wei Family is truly remarkable."
