CHAPTER 179: CHAPTER 169: WHAT DO THEIR LIVES OR DEATHS HAVE TO DO WITH HER?

Clearly, after Susu reminded him earlier, he had already made preparations, distributing a lot of medicinal herbs for free for people to treat their illnesses.

No matter what, these people’s symptoms shouldn’t have suddenly worsened overnight.

...

At night, after Bai Susu learned that the pneumonia situation in Qingyun Town had suddenly worsened, suspected to have turned into an epidemic, she was a bit surprised,

"How could this happen? It’s impossible." Bai Susu looked confused.

Although it was her first time using traditional Chinese medicine to prescribe treatments, it was based on her understanding of pneumonia symptoms. She was confident that even if her prescriptions couldn’t cure, they definitely wouldn’t worsen people’s conditions.

Moreover, when they left, those with mild symptoms had already improved significantly.

Seeing Bai Susu’s expression of self-doubt, Feng Qiwu immediately said, "It’s not your fault, there must be another explanation for this. According to the intelligence report from my subordinates, it should no longer be a lung issue they are infected with."

Bai Susu felt relieved upon hearing this, and quickly inquired about the symptoms of the patients from Feng Qiwu, wishing she could immediately sprout wings and fly back to Qingyun Town in the northwest.

Human lives are at stake, and she did not want to watch so many people die miserably.

Feng Qiwu saw her compassionate expression and knew her heart had softened.

He couldn’t help but say, "Susu, don’t worry, the Imperial Hospital’s Imperial Physician will handle this matter. You just need to focus on researching your medicine in peace."

"How can I not be anxious? Epidemics are highly contagious. If delayed, who knows how many towns it could spread to, affecting the livelihood and safety of countless people," Bai Susu responded seriously.

Moreover, in ancient times, once an epidemic accidentally spread, it was practically a death sentence.

Even if people were alive, the rulers, for stability’s sake, wouldn’t care about their lives, letting them fend for themselves.

If she weren’t a doctor, it would be a different story.

But since she had studied some medical books and was a doctor, she couldn’t just watch these innocent people turn into cold statistics being reported.

Feng Qiwu sighed helplessly after hearing Bai Susu’s words.

He couldn’t help but say, "I don’t even know if it was the right decision to have you volunteer for free clinics back then?"

Hearing this, Bai Susu quickly replied, "Of course it was! Saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, let alone it’s tens of thousands of people, your future subjects."

She knew Feng Qiwu didn’t care about the life and death of others.

Nor would he be concerned about so-called divine punishment or karma.

But she didn’t dare not to believe.

She could be transported into books while sleeping, so what is impossible in this world?

So she had to do as many good deeds and acts of kindness within her power, to accumulate some good karma for herself and a good outcome for Feng Qiwu.

...

Seeing Bai Susu speak with such conviction, her eyes shining, Feng Qiwu could only say, "This matter is quite strange, just stay home and research your rotten oranges. Once the cause and development of the epidemic in Qingyun Town is fully investigated, I’ll decide whether or not to bring you there. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Susu immediately nodded.

"As expected, you are the one who thinks things through thoroughly," Bai Susu said with a smile.

Indeed, Feng Qiwu’s way of handling things is reliable.

Feng Qiwu glanced at her irritably, "You are just too kind-hearted."

What do the life and death of those people have to do with her?

Yet every time she encountered a patient, she always looked worried, eager to cure them.

Bai Susu blushed upon hearing Feng Qiwu say she was kind-hearted.

She wasn’t being kind; she just wanted to accumulate more blessings for the two of them.

After all, Feng Qiwu indeed committed many atrocities in the past.

Now that even mystical cultivation powers like Star Power have appeared, surely ghosts and such also exist.

Surely there are quite a few people who died at his hands who turned into vengeful ghosts lingering around him!

And the more people she saves, the more it should offset some of his misdeeds?

After all, whether it was the previous free medical consultation or this epidemic, she had a purpose for saving people.

It’s just that previously, practicing medicine was for a salary, and now it’s to eliminate misdeeds.

...

Void Realm, Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

Since Elder Ling Su brought back the news that Feng Qiwu’s fate had changed, the entire Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s leadership was almost constantly at the Observatory, observing the changes in the Ziwei Star representing Feng Qiwu.

At this time, an elder suddenly said, "Huh? Wasn’t it shown that Da Qin was destined to face a great disaster soon? How come it suddenly doesn’t show anymore?"

Upon hearing this, another elder couldn’t help but say, "You noticed too? A few days ago, when observing the stars, I saw that a calamity would definitely break out recently in Da Qin’s northwest, but just now, I found out that the misfortune has turned into a blessing!"

Moreover, after Feng Qiwu’s life chart changed, even Da Qin’s fate was greatly impacted.

Now they often found that the stars they observed just a few days ago had changed within a couple of days, leaving them clueless.

This was the first time they encountered such rapid and strange changes in the stars.

At this point, the clan leader Ling Yu spoke up.

"Leave a few people to continue observing the stars, and the others can go back and rest." Ling Yu suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly stood up, bowed to Ling Yu, and then retreated.

At that moment, Ling Yu suddenly said to a white-clad woman in the group, "Su’er, you stay behind, your master wants to speak with you."

Ling Su naturally understood the implication of Ling Yu’s words.

Or rather, from the day she replaced her aunt as the Saintess, her mission had already been destined.

However, she seemed to be lucky, as Feng Qiwu’s deadly predicament had been resolved, she didn’t have to follow in her aunt’s footsteps, sacrificing herself for her family’s interests.

She nodded slightly to Ling Yu, then quickly followed him.

Once there were only the two of them, Ling Yu spoke solemnly to Ling Su, "Su’er, I have a mission for you."

Hearing this, Ling Su seemed to realize something, and immediately nodded, "Master, please tell me."

"I need you to go to Da Qin personally to check on Feng Qiwu and the situation with the Alien Star," Ling Yu said with a serious expression.

Although the appearance of the Alien Star directly resolved Feng Qiwu’s fatal problem, they still had no idea where Feng Qiwu’s Life Star was or if the two had already made contact.

Ling Su is too unreliable for this task, it certainly couldn’t be left to him to investigate.

As for the others, sending one of them would certainly incite jealousy and feelings of unfairness among the rest, wanting to follow along.

Only Ling Su, as the Saintess of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, was appropriately situated in both status and identity to descend at this time.

Upon hearing Ling Yu’s words, Ling Su’s somewhat bland face showed a calm and indifferent expression, "Disciple understands."
