CHAPTER 149: CHAPTER 139: SHU KUANG, HOW DID YOUR BRAIN GROW THIS WAY?

Afterwards, Bai Susu resumed seeing other patients for diagnosis.

At the end of the day’s free clinic, she had encountered many peculiar and strange symptoms, and her admiration for ancient Chinese medicine grew even more.

Western medicine is classified in detail, and doctors develop in a specific professional direction.

However, in traditional Chinese medicine, one must deal with various ailments, tailoring treatments accordingly.

Due to the vast array of conditions encountered, a good Chinese medicine practitioner needs considerable experience to grow.

...

Once the three days of consultations were over, Bai Susu hurriedly urged Feng Qiwu to rush back.

"Shu Kuang, let’s hurry back."

The cultivation of penicillin requires time, and she must make haste.

Seeing Bai Susu’s urgency, Feng Qiwu promptly said, "Susu, there’s no need to rush. Rest assured; I have already ordered the city to be secretly sealed, forbidding any patients with cough and fever from leaving. For the time being, this disease can be contained within a certain range."

Upon hearing this, Bai Susu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"That’s good! Luckily, you reacted quickly," Bai Susu said.

"It was Susu who reminded me of the outbreak," Feng Qiwu said with a slight smile.

In truth, he cared little about the lives of the so-called common people.

Once, he had desperately wanted to protect the nation and defend the citizens of Da Qin.

But soon after, they discarded him like an old shoe, forgetting all he had sacrificed.

Such forgetful and ungrateful beings do not deserve his protection, let alone a shred of his pity.

Yet now, with Susu’s medical studies proving somewhat useful, he might offer them a chance at survival.

...

At this moment, Ling Xiao entered and said, "Your Highness, General Lin Changqing’s army is fifty miles away."

"Oh, then let’s prepare to return," Feng Qiwu said indifferently.

"Yes."

After Ling Xiao withdrew, Bai Susu suddenly looked at Feng Qiwu and said, "Shu Kuang, I’ve heard you and General Lin don’t get along? Is that true?"

The original text mentioned Lin Changqing as the most intelligent and powerful person in Da Qin after Feng Qiwu.

Later, because Bai Wanwan accidentally "saved" Lin Changyue’s life, Lin Changqing met her and developed an admiration for Bai Wanwan, secretly assisting her in many ways.

However, at that time, Bai Wanwan was determined to marry Feng Wuchen, believing in the principle of marrying high, and thus, even though she knew Lin Changqing had feelings for her, she still ambiguously led him on.

As a result, Lin Changqing remained unmarried for her, becoming one of the few characters in the original text that countless readers wished he would quickly find true love and marry.

Besides being lovesick, another reason Lin Changqing gained popularity was his ability to hold his own against Feng Qiwu.

Being able to exchange blows with the main antagonist without falling behind speaks volumes about Lin Changqing’s strength.

...

But Bai Susu never imagined that Feng Qiwu would respond unconcernedly: "Many people are at odds with me, Lin Changqing doesn’t even make the list."

"Why does everyone say you’ve been fiercely competing for years?" Bai Susu asked curiously.

"Fierce competition?" Feng Qiwu suddenly scoffed.

"When you meet him on the way back, ask him if he dares to use that term for himself," Feng Qiwu said coldly.

"What do you mean?" Bai Susu asked, puzzled.

Seeing her bewilderment, Feng Qiwu proudly stated like a peacock displaying its feathers, "I mean, someone who has been beaten by me since childhood doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same context as me."

"Moreover, Lin Changqing has followed me for years; the outsiders’ claims are mere rumors," Feng Qiwu said casually.

With these words, Bai Susu was instantly shocked.

Her mind even had a moment of not processing.

After a while, she asked in bewilderment, "Are you saying... Lin Changqing is your follower?"

"Correct, the kid surrendered to me at six years old, wishing to be by my side at all times," Feng Qiwu said.

Bai Susu: !!!

"So why does everyone think you two are at odds?" Bai Susu asked, utterly speechless.

This is simply preposterous!

You know, the original text constantly implied that they were in conflict, even battling each other fiercely!

How could the reality be miles away from the text?

...

"Probably because this kid kept challenging me, trying to defeat me, thus being misinterpreted by outsiders, especially since later I lost control and turned him into a covert pawn," Feng Qiwu said.

At that time, Feng Qingyang’s wariness of him grew, and if the close relationship between Lin Changqing and him was exposed, the Lin Family would inevitably be implicated.

Fortunately, everyone misunderstood Lin Changqing’s repeated challenges as disobedience, and even Feng Qingyang thought Lin Changqing and he were at odds, beginning to favor the Lin Family.

Upon hearing this, Bai Susu was already too exhausted to offer commentary.

So, the words she reads might not even be true?

But she couldn’t help but ask, "If that’s the case, then if the Emperor tries to control the Lin Family by taking Lin Changyue into the palace, what would you do?"

Feng Qiwu glanced at her and said calmly, "If the Lin Family willingly agrees, naturally it’s beyond my involvement; if Lin Changqing disagrees, I have ways to protect his sister in the palace. Once Feng Qingyang dies, Lin Changyue will naturally regain her freedom."

With these words, Bai Susu immediately felt a sense of ’as expected.’

In Bai Wanwan’s previous life, Lin Changyue was taken into the palace by Feng Qingyang, who favored her alone.

Later, Feng Qingyang died, and it was rumored that Lin Changyue accompanied him in burial.

However, upon thinking about Feng Qiwu’s words now, it becomes clear that Lin Changyue was likely not buried with Feng Qingyang, but rather faked her death and left the Imperial Palace.

With this in mind, Bai Susu couldn’t help but stare blankly at Feng Qiwu.

In all these issues, there was not a single mention of Feng Qiwu.

But who would have thought that in these matters, his handiwork was present?

...

Seeing Bai Susu staring at him without blinking, her eyes seemed mixed with admiration and realization, Feng Qiwu couldn’t help asking, "Susu, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Bai Susu couldn’t help but sigh softly upon hearing this.

She then said, "People say that some geniuses border on the supernatural, I used to think it was just about being a little more clever."

"Until now, after understanding you deeply, I realized some truly leave no room for error in their calculations."

"Shu Kuang, how does your mind work? How many things have you done that others can’t even fathom?" Bai Susu marveled.

Seeing this, Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, he gladly accepted Bai Susu’s praise.

"I’m just born with a normal mind, only a bit more intelligent than others," Feng Qiwu laughed.

Of course, as a child, because he was overly brilliant, others viewed him as a monster.

This world has no shortage of prodigies, but prodigies cannot see through human nature at such a young age.

This is why he instilled fear in them.
