Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Old Master Qiu’s legs were not as nimble as before, but he had given his cart to his granddaughter. He had walked with the team all the way with his walking stick and was already exhausted. When he heard Ji Shui Sheng’s shout, he hurriedly walked into the ditch. However, the faster he was, the more mistakes he made, and he fell to the ground. Seeing the tall horse gallop towards him, Old Master Qiu closed his eyes in despair.

Ji Shui Sheng saw that Old Master Qiu had fallen and wanted to go over to save him, but it was too late. The villagers of Peach Blossom Cove let out a cry of surprise as they watched the horse step on Old Master Qiu’s chest and then leave without stopping.

The person riding the horse was in an official’s uniform. He was in his thirties and had a fair, beardless face. He looked ahead with a dark gaze and did not care about the villager who had trampled to death.

Old Master Qiu spat out a mouthful of blood. Qiu Yongkang picked up his grandfather and rolled into the ditch by the side of the road to avoid being trampled by the horses again.

The villagers of Peach Blossom Cove and the victims who were also trampled on looked at the horse convoy running away in grief and indignation. These officials regarded human lives as grass, not even looking at them when they trampled people to death.

“Who was that?”

“The word ‘Wan’ is written on that flag. It should be the Wan family’s steel cavalry. It looks like there’s going to be another storm of blood.”

When everyone heard that it was the Wan clan’s steel cavalry, they all fell silent. Other than crying and admitting that they were unlucky, they could not do anything else.

There was no way to complain!

The Wan family Army was the Army of the current Emperor, Wan Sheng Chang. His daughter was a prominent Imperial Noble Consort, the most favored concubine of the Emperor. The Wan family’s power was heaven-defying, and even the Earth would tremble with a stomp of their feet in the great Xia Kingdom. Who would dare to investigate the Wan family’s case? The commoners who died today had died in vain.

Ji Shui Sheng’s eyes flickered with ruthlessness. He was about to chase after this dog that disregarded human lives when Su Qing pulled him back and said coldly, “You will be hitting a rock with an egg.”

Su Qing could feel that Ji Shui Sheng’s muscles had tensed up. That was the strength that he had accumulated to hit the target in one shot. However, after hearing her words, Ji Shui Sheng’s muscles relaxed. It was obvious that he had calmed down.

“Grandpa! Grandpa!”

Qiu Yongkang was calling out to his grandfather at the bottom of the ditch. The front of the old man’s clothes was covered in blood, and his face was as pale as gold paper.

Ji Shui Sheng hurriedly jumped into the ditch to take the old master’s pulse. The Qiu family members looked at him with hope.

Ji Shui Sheng looked at Old Master Qiu with guilt after taking his pulse and said in a sorrowful voice, “I can’t save grandfather.”

Su Qing watched from the side. Old Master Qiu’s chest was still beating slightly. His eyes were closed, and blood was all over his mouth and front of his clothes.

Su Qing respected Old Master Qiu’s character, so she jumped into the ditch to take his pulse without anyone begging her.

“Go away! Don’t delay Brother Shui Sheng from saving my grandfather.”

Qiu Yue was in tears. She hated herself for having diarrhea and causing her grandfather to be trampled on by the horse.

When Qiu Yue saw Su Qing, she was so angry that she stopped Su Qing from going over. If Su Qing had given her the medicine earlier, she would not have collapsed and her grandfather would not have been implicated.

“Get lost!”

“Shut up!” Su Qing shouted coldly. She grabbed Qiu Yue’s arm and threw her to the side without mercy.

Qiu Yingzi and her husband could not care less about their daughter. They surrounded the Old Master and cried for him. Qiu Yongkang looked at Su Qing with hope.

“Su Qing, can you save my grandfather?”

“I’ll try,” Su Qing said expressionlessly. He squatted down beside Old Master Qiu and felt his pulse with his slender fingers.

Little seven reported to him in the system, “His ribs were crushed and his internal organs were stabbed, causing internal bleeding. Treatment requires a blood-stopping pill and a jinguning pill. The blood-stopping pill requires master’s ginseng.”

Little Seven’s voice was filled with reluctance. Master had risked his life to get the ginseng.

Su Qing’s expression was still cold as she calmly reported his condition, “I can, but I need ginseng. I just happened to pick one.”

When they heard that Su Qing was going to give the Ginseng to Old Master Qiu, Aunt Qiu and Uncle Qiu knelt down.”

“Thank you for your great kindness, miss.”

Su Qing ignored them. She went back and took out a piece of ginseng, cut it in front of everyone, and put it in Old Master Qiu’s mouth to keep him alive. Then, he ordered that no one was allowed to move the Old Master and went to make pills.

Ji Shui Sheng came over to help her but was chased away by Su Qing.

“An exclusive secret recipe.”

Ji Shui Sheng understood when he heard that it was an exclusive secret recipe. He nodded and retreated. He also helped Su Qing and did not allow anyone to go over.

Su Qing’s pill was just a cover. The real one was little seven, but she also followed the steps and watched with satisfaction as her medical skills improved by one level.

A moment later, Su Qing returned to the bottom of the ditch with two pills and fed them to Old Master Qiu. Old Master Qiu had already lost his ability to swallow. Su Qing opened his mouth expressionlessly and put the two pills in and Old Master Qiu swallowed them down.

There was a dead silence. Everyone looked at Old Master Qiu nervously, waiting for a miracle to happen.

Qiu Yue’s head was covered in grass and she looked extremely disheveled. After witnessing Su Qing’s power, she did not dare to provoke her anymore. She looked at her grandfather anxiously.

“Aiya…” Old Master Qiu let out a long sigh and opened his eyes.

The people of Peach Blossom looked at Su Qing in disbelief. Their eyes were filled with respect and admiration. She had saved Old Master Qiu.

“Lady Su Qing, if you ever need my help in the future, I’ll do anything for you, even if it costs me my life.”

Qiu Yongkang turned around and cupped his fists at Su Qing.

“Alright. Remember what you said today.”

Su Qing didn’t try to beat around the bush and nodded her head coldly. Her face was as calm as a lake, without any joy or sorrow, without a trace of emotion.

Qiu Yue glared at Su Qing. Her brother was so outstanding, yet he had to work like a slave for this woman?

Old Master Qiu asked his grandson to help him up. He cupped his fists at Su Qing and said, “Su Qing, thank you for saving me. The Qiu family solemnly promises that if you need our help in the future, just say the word.”

Su Qing cupped her fists and replied, “Old man, you’re too kind.”

[Congratulations, host. Your [medicine] has reached Level 3. Your spiritual power, physical strength, and God of War abilities have all reached level 15. Keep up the good work.]

The system’s congratulations rang in Su Qing’s ears but her expression did not change. She had sacrificed half a ginseng in exchange for an upgrade. She had suffered a great loss. She had originally had hope of curing her illness, but now it had to be pushed back.

Seeing that Su Qing had saved Old Master Qiu, the crowd was in an uproar. She was a miracle doctor, a miracle doctor! She had saved someone who was about to die.

“Young lady, please save my wife. I’m willing to be your slave.”

Immediately, someone knelt by the ditch and begged Su Qing. In order to plead with Su Qing, they kowtowed so hard that their foreheads were bleeding.

Everyone was moved by this, but Su Qing remained expressionless.

“What do you have in exchange?”
