People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 69, Young man, I foresee a bloody disaster upon you (Seeking monthly votes!!)
A faint glimmer of light appeared in the east, dispelling the darkness of night.

The residents of the new city were unaware of what had happened inside and outside the city the previous night, and continued their ordinary lives.

Inside the blacksmith's guest room.

Xu Qing, who was unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

"The imperial physician has said you're awake. How are your injuries?" the Mo family disciple asked anxiously.

"My injuries are all healed now," Xu Qing said.

Although he withstood the full force of the skull blood handprint, fortunately, the Yin-Yang Harmony Handprint first reduced its power, and the protective Qi helped him absorb most of the damage.

Thanks to the extraordinary recovery ability of the Evergreen Skill, his internal injuries have been mostly healed, and he can recover completely on his own with some recuperation.

"Find me a set of clothes, I need to go to the Imperial Hospital," Xu Qing said to the Mo family disciple who looked on in surprise.

Today was his day off, so he didn't need to go to the Imperial Hospital. However, his injuries hadn't fully healed, so Xu Qing planned to go to the medicine storehouse to select some good medicinal herbs to treat his wounds.

"Imperial Physician, please wait a moment while I go and fetch a physician to examine you carefully."

The Mohist disciples were still worried about Xu Qing's condition and turned to run outside.

Xu Qing jumped off the bed, used his ability to ride the wind, and arrived at the doorway, grabbing the Mo family disciple who was about to leave.

The Mohist disciple turned around and looked at Xu Qing, who had grabbed him, with a look of surprise on his face.

When Xu Qing collapsed in the courtyard last night, he looked like he was seriously injured. The doctor who came later also said that Xu Qing's injuries were severe.

But after just one night, Xu Qing's injuries had actually healed, leaving the Mo family disciples in disbelief.

"Now you believe I'm really alright, right? Could you please find me some clothes? If I don't go to the Imperial Hospital soon, I'll be late for my roll call," Xu Qing said.

"Alright, the imperial physician asks you to wait a moment, I will go and find you some clothes right away."

Xu Qing released the Mo family disciple and asked him to find him some clothes.

Looking at the palm print on his chest, Xu Qing didn't care. With the Evergreen Skill, it was only a matter of time before his injuries healed.

Xu Qing checked his belt again; of the twenty-four jade and silver needles, only fourteen remained.

"I wonder if those ten silver needles can ever be found?"

Last night he witnessed the power of the Jade Silver Needle, which could easily break through the internal energy protection of a first-class master. It is a rare and powerful weapon.

The commotion last night was quite significant, and it seemed there was no hope of finding those ten silver needles. Xu Qing couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

Soon, the Mo family disciples brought Xu Qing a set of clothes.

"Imperial Physician, these are our usual clothes, please don't find them offensive."

"Thank you."

Xu Qing put on the clothes; they were a bit big, but overall they fit well.

"By the way, the Grand Master said he would come to visit you in the city during the day. If you leave now, how should I respond when the Grand Master arrives?" the Mo family disciple asked.

"I will go home at noon, and then I will have the Grand Prince come to my residence to find me."

"it is good."

Xu Qing left the blacksmith shop with the respectful farewell of the Mo family disciples and headed home. He planned to change into his official robes before going to the Imperial Hospital.

Walking on the streets of Xinzheng, Xu Qing thought about what happened last night. He was certain that the Yin Yang School had attacked him because the fact that he had treated the Six-Fingered Black Knight had been exposed.

Although Xu Qing had anticipated this, he thought that the Yin Yang School would only need to send one of the Five Spirits Mystic Harmonies to deal with him, a mere imperial physician. He never expected that the Yin Yang School would send an elder to attack him.

"The Yin-Yang School, is it? I'll remember this grudge."

Xu Qing hated the Yin Yang School to the core, not only because they attacked him, but also because he lost a first-grade opportunity—a first-grade opportunity indeed!

"I wonder if that top-tier opportunity is still at Zilan Pavilion. Is it too late for me to go now?" Xu Qing wondered to himself.

Although the chances were slim, Xu Qing felt he should still try his luck, just in case this top-tier opportunity was still around.

Just as Xu Qing was lost in thought, she accidentally bumped into someone. "Sorry, sorry."

Xu Qing snapped out of her daze and looked at the person she had bumped into. The person was dressed in a white Taoist robe and was carrying a small banner with the words "Determining Good or Bad Fortune" written on it. The most eye-catching thing was the pheasant feather stuck in the crown on the person's head.

Seeing the other person's completely white hair and beard, Xu Qing quickly apologized again.

"I'm sorry, sir. I was a little distracted just now. I hope I didn't hurt you?" Xu Qing asked respectfully.

It wasn't that Xu Qing was afraid the old man would lie down and extort money from her, but rather that she was worried about being labeled as disrespectful to the elderly.

In this era, elderly people were considered auspicious, and even emperors had to outwardly show them respect.

“Young man, I’m fine, but you’ll be in trouble soon.” He Guanzi looked at Xu Qing with a serious expression.

That sounds so familiar. Are you about to lie down?

Xu Qing was slightly taken aback and subconsciously wanted to use the Wind Riding technique to escape, but what he said next made Xu Qing laugh helplessly.

"I see that your forehead is dark, which is a very bad omen. You will suffer a bloody disaster."

He Guanzi was interrupted by Xu Qing before he could finish speaking.

"Do I need to buy one of your talismans to ward off bad luck? Old man, you've had a hard life, consider this money as compensation from me."

Xu Qing took out several Bainie coins and placed them in He Guanzi's hand. (Banie was the official currency of Korea, evolved from the bronze agricultural tool Bo, shaped like a shovel with a sharp protrusion at each end of the cloth head.)
Xu Qing initially thought he had encountered a staged accident, but now it seems he had met a conman from the Fang family. However, he wasn't short of money, so he decided to consider it compensation.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I have other things to attend to."

Xu Qing bowed slightly to He Guanzi, then walked past him.

He needed to hurry to the Imperial Hospital to get some good medicine to nourish himself. He also had to treat Six-Fingered Black Knight's injuries that afternoon; he really didn't have time to waste on this old man.

He Guanzi looked at the coins in his hand, smiled slightly, and reached out to grab Xu Qing's shoulder.

Xu Qing turned around and looked at He Guanzi warily, wondering if this old guy was really trying to extort him.

“Young man, I’m not joking. If you don’t believe me, you can press your Shenque acupoint.” He Guanzi revealed a meaningful smile and released Xu Qing’s shoulder.

"Thank you for the reminder."

Xu Qing glanced speechlessly at He Guanzi. Although his medical skills were not as miraculous as the legends, he was still capable of not noticing when his own body had problems.

Assuming the other party was trying to swindle more money, he simply left.

Watching Xu Qing's departing figure, He Guanzi nodded in satisfaction.

"Despite being busy with important matters, he did not forget etiquette, respected the elderly, and did not bully or humiliate them with base manners. He is a very good young man."

He Guanzi formed a certain opinion of Xu Qing in his mind, weighed the money in his hand, turned around and walked into the teahouse next door, preparing to wait for Xu Qing to come back to find him.

Meanwhile, Xu Qing had already returned home.

After changing out of his clothes, Xu Qing prepared to put on his official robes. Looking at the Shenque acupoint on his abdomen, he suddenly remembered what the old man had said earlier.

"Are you kidding? I'm the Imperial Physician of Korea, how could I possibly..."

As Xu Qing spoke, he reached out and pressed his hand on the Shenque acupoint. Instantly, his eyes widened, veins bulged on his forehead, his face turned red, and his face was full of pain.

"Bang~"

Xu Qing collapsed onto the bed, her body curled up like a cooked river shrimp, and it took her a while to recover.

"How could this happen? This shouldn't be!"

Xu Qing looked at his Shenque acupoint, both surprised and doubtful, his mind filled with the old man's words.

P.S.: This humble adopted son is begging for monthly votes from his godfathers!
Thank you all for your monthly votes! You've all been so kind and there are too many of you to list here, so I won't thank you all individually.

Only after completing the recommended series will I express my gratitude to my adoptive fathers with a massive update.
