A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

A moment later, Doctor Yu felt a cool sensation on his head, and the heavy feeling that had been weighing on him for several days disappeared.

My mind feels clear; my head is no longer dizzy or painful.

He began to regain his spirits, and with a push of his hands, he stood up straight from the ground.

"Hehe, Dr. Yu, are you feeling better now? I've chased away all the little black devils!" Zhou Ruo picked up the carrot again and started munching on it.

Doctor Yu removed the silver needles from the back of his foot and examined them carefully by the dim candlelight.

The silver needles had already turned black and were covered with a layer of oily sheen; they really were poisonous!

It's a chronic poison, and quite potent at that!

Doctor Yu suddenly knelt on the ground, as if he had become a different person.

Those who had been questioning Zhou Ru just moments before were now bowing and expressing their gratitude.

Thinking that Zhou Ruo had just saved his life, his tone became much more sincere:

"I'm so sorry, Miss, I was blind..."

"No, it's because I'm blind! I didn't recognize this true miracle doctor!"

Dr. Yu's performance stunned Zhao Yucheng. Dr. Yu was a well-known military doctor in the capital.

Zhao Yucheng knew that Doctor Yu was always confident in his medical skills, and he had never even thought highly of the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Academy.

Over the years, the army and military personnel have relied on him to treat illnesses; they can truly say they cannot do without him.

But now he submits to Zhou Ruo and even praises her medical skills.

Surprised, Zhao Yucheng also felt a sense of relief; finally, someone could teach this old man a lesson.

Doctor Yu's movements were a bit exaggerated, and his facial expression was different from before, so Zhou Ruo couldn't quite understand it.

She walked up to Zhao Jinzhong, tugged at his sleeve, and asked, "Brother, what is Doctor Yu doing?"

Zhao Jinzhong smiled and then told Zhou Ruo, "Dr. Yu admires you very much and praised your medical skills as amazing."

Upon hearing Zhao Jinzhong's explanation, Zhou Ruo was startled and immediately hid behind Zhao Jinzhong.

She gripped Zhao Jinzhong's clothes tightly, peeked out, and said to Doctor Yu:

"Dr. Yu, don't flatter me, I'm not that great at all!"

Zhou Ruo's words left everyone in the tent dumbfounded.

In her previous life, Zhou Ruo was often praised by people in the sect for her superb medical skills, who called her a divine doctor and praised her for her greatness.

Such praise is like a gust of wind, often lifting her to the clouds, but what is the result?

Even after being reborn, Zhou Ruo still enjoys hearing people praise her medical skills.

But this is Doctor Yu, a doctor who can cure diseases and is respected by people.

Although Zhou Ruo had no concept of social class, she knew that Doctor Yu was different from the servants in the mansion.

So when Doctor Yu knelt down to thank her and praise her, she subconsciously associated this praise with the possibility of being killed, and she felt afraid.

"You are too modest, Miss. A physician who can use pure silver needles is far beyond our reach. May I ask which master you have studied under?"

Zhou Ruo looked at Doctor Yu's expression with some nervousness, as she couldn't quite understand what he was saying.

Finally, she simply hid behind Zhao Jinzhong, hugging his leg tightly, trying to conceal herself.

Doctor Yu thought that he had initially been too skeptical of Zhou Ruo's medical skills, and that Zhou Ruo was still angry with him for it.

He quickly explained:

"I was too arrogant just now and did not recognize your superb medical skills, Miss. Please do not be angry."

Zhao Jinzhong sensed Zhou Ruo's unusual behavior. He pulled her close, knelt down, and asked her:

"What are you afraid of, Ruoruo? Tell your brother, and he will protect you."

When Zhou Ruo heard Zhao Jinzhong say that he would protect her, it reminded her of her loneliness and helplessness in her previous life.

In comparison, her current situation makes her feel much more at ease.

Zhou Ruo was deeply moved, and tears streamed down her face.

She threw herself into Zhao Jinzhong's arms, hugged his neck tightly, and sobbed as she said:

"Brother, Ruoruo doesn't want to die! Waaaaah—"

Upon hearing his daughter say "death," Zhao Yucheng, who was standing nearby, became unsettled.

He moved to Zhou Ruo's side, glanced at Doctor Yu, and then looked at Zhou Ruo.

Zhou Ruo nestled in Zhao Jinzhong's arms, her body still trembling slightly.

Suppressing his emotions, Zhao Yucheng squatted down and tried to speak to Zhou Ruo in a gentle tone.

"Ruo'er, with your father here, you won't die."

When Zhou Ruo heard Zhao Yucheng speaking beside her, she pulled herself out of Zhao Jinzhong's arms.

With tears streaming down her face, she said in a choked voice, "But being too powerful means I'll die!"

After Zhou Ruo finished speaking, she didn't forget to glance at Doctor Yu.

Doctor Yu seemed to have thought of something after being looked at by Zhou Ruo.

He broke out in a cold sweat, fell to the ground, and said in a tearful voice:

"Even if you gave me a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare to have the slightest thought of harming Miss!"

After Dr. Yu said this, Zhao Yucheng and Zhao Jinzhong finally understood Zhou Ruo's meaning.

Zhao Yucheng said with a wry smile, "Ruo'er, Doctor Yu has been with your father for many, many years. He's like family to me. He won't hurt you."

When Zhou Ruo heard Zhao Yucheng say that Doctor Yu wouldn't hurt her, she secretly glanced at Doctor Yu, who was still lying on the ground.

Then she wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve and asked Zhao Yucheng very seriously, "Father, am I really not going to die?"

"I'll see who dares to hurt my daughter! With her father here, Ruo'er has nothing to fear!"

"Oh, then I'll be fearless for now..."

Zhou Ruo wiped her nose again, then walked to the table, picked up the carrot she hadn't finished eating, and continued to eat it.

Zhao Yucheng and the other two were puzzled and amused by Zhou Ruo's rapid change in mood.

"Miss, you have such a kind and innocent heart, so pure and lovely!"

Doctor Yu looked at Zhou Ruo with a different eye, and his attitude changed completely.

Just as Zhou Ruo was calming down, a voice sounded in her mind:

"Spiritual power restored to 33%!"

Zhou Ruo muttered the number to herself and then spread out her hands to count on her fingers.

She healed one of her seventh aunts, thirty servants, and her spiritual power increased by one finger.

Now that she has removed the poison from Doctor Yu, her spiritual power has increased by two fingers.

Why is this?

Could it be because Doctor Yu, like himself, has treated patients, and therefore has accumulated merit in this mortal realm?

Zhou Ruo then recalled the words the voice in her head had spoken when she had just recovered 30% of her spiritual power:

"The progress of spiritual energy recovery is related to the patient's merit points."

Her little brain couldn't quite grasp the meaning behind it, but her inherent healing spirit gave her an intuition that this was indeed the case.

Zhou Ruo was happy now; she was no longer completely clueless.

It was no longer that hopeless feeling of healing more than thirty people but only restoring the spiritual power of one finger.

She even started to like Doctor Yu a little.

"Well... Doctor Yu is really amazing..."

Although he didn't even know how to use the pain-relieving herbs at the Martial Arts Academy, and always gave his brother useless acupuncture, he was still... very skilled...

Because he can restore the spiritual power of two fingers, hehe!

Doctor Yu felt somewhat ashamed after being praised by Zhou Ruo.

But he began to realize that with Zhou Ruoyi in the camp, there was hope for the soldiers to recover.
