A day with doctor Situ

After returning from Ah Du, Wang Yu left with the old man.

"Your companion told me your name was Wang Yu." Said the old man to Wang Yu who was walking by his side.

"Yes, my name is Wang Yu."

"By the way, I find it strange that you and that kid from your group have become hunters. You're very young and don't seem to have cultivated martial arts before." asked doctor Situ.

"Well, the sect needed someone to complete the group I'm currently in. And since we came late they made us both join this group." Said Wang Yu who didn't think there was much to hide.

"This is unfair, if a group is incomplete then let its members choose another profession." The old man seemed to disapprove of the sect's decision.

Wang Yu didn't say anything in response, he knew it was unfair but what could he do, the sect was very strong that killing him was extremely easy, so he could only bear with it and act accordingly.

The two continued walking, on the road Wang Yu asked the doctor Situ about when he had come to the sect.

The old man sighed "It was a long time ago. When I was eighteen years old I had the chance to accompany my father to the town in the period where the sect was recruiting disciples, I was found to have spiritual roots which made my dad extremely happy. Thinking about it at that time I was also jubilant. I thought that after going to the sect I would become a cultivator and live in glory."

The old man stopped for some time before continuing "Unfortunately my talent was bad, so I couldn't join the outer sect and was thus thrown to the servant district with the other untalented kids who didn't have talent. I was sad for some time. Before the final test I always thought about how fate brought me from the small village to the town at the time of recruiting and how I passed the first test. I was almost sure that I was a chosen, unfortunately the truth was the opposite."

Wang Yu was listening attentively to the old man feeling sympathy for him after all they both shared the same experience.

"Fortunately fate wasn't cruel to me, and with my knowledge of medicine which I had got from my dad who was the doctor of the village, I became the disciple of an old doctor from the sect. He took me under his wings and taught me all of his knowledge; this is why I have become the doctor you see today." Doctor Situ was very grateful to his master, this is why when he talked about him, he would become emotional.

"So what about you?" asked the doctor.

"Well, a month ago I was in my small village living a carefree life and drawing all day long. I planned on going to the imperial city and becoming an imperial artist. Such a thing would bring honor to my ancestors and myself."

"But suddenly two immortals descended on my village and took me with four of the villagers and brought us to the sect. After as you can deduce I come to the servant's district with that friend you talked about."

Wang Yu didn't go into the details since it wasn't important, besides he was the secretive guy who only shared his information when it was necessary.

"That makes you similar to me, unfortunately, people here in the servant district don't have time to appreciate arts, only an old man like me does it" Winked the old man at Wang Yu.

After a few minutes of chatting, they reached a big building which was called the hospital. The old man seemed to be well respected here since when he came the guards bowed respectfully.

Entering the building Wang Yu smelled a strong scent of herbs, he followed the old man silently.

"Good morning Little Mu." Said the old man to a middle-aged man who was bedridden his arm was cut, and he didn't seem in pain but in deep sadness, he smiled at the old man but didn't answer.

"You don't need to be sad, remember it is only an arm. I have seen some patients who lost their legs, there were some who were deeply hurt that no matter what medicine we gave them they were still in pain. Besides, the sect has exempted you from hunting.

No matter what the old man had said the middle-aged man didn't respond; he only smiled, a sad smile. Which made Wang Yu feel sympathy toward him, he also felt fear, one day he may receive fatal injuries.

The old man didn't get angry, he started to inspect the middle-aged man carefully, after which he took some potions and started to apply them to the young man's wound.

Wang Yu followed the old man silently, it was the first time he entered a hospital where many people were either sick or wounded. He saw one man whose body was unrecognizable, according to the old man he was poisoned by an unknown poison from the dark forest. This is why his body was turning green no matter what medicine they gave him, his health was deteriorating.

Seeing those people who according to the old man needed continuous care, this is why they were here in the hospital. Wang Yu felt gratified to god that his injury was light. He started to understand that no matter how much you feel you are hurt there will be people more hurt than you.

After two hours Wang Yu left the hospital in deep thought with the old man who had to take some breaths after deep work inside the hospital.

Seeing Wang Yu's reaction the old man smiled faintly "Don't think too much about it, as long as you continue being a hunter you'll see a lot of this. In a world where the strong prey on the weak this kind of thing is extremely normal. Wait until you see wars, you will know that this is nothing."

"Have you participated in a war before senior," asked Wang Yu, who didn't think that this old man who had been a sect disciple from a young age would participate in any wars.

"Yes I have, you don't know much about the sect. I won't tell you but I'm sure that you will eventually know more about the sect, the sects control all the lands, nothing could have happened without those cultivators' approval."

"All those wars that happen in the mortal world are but the manipulation of those sects."

After a few minutes the old man returned back to the hospital, leaving Wang Yu who turned around and went back to his room. He was thinking about what he had seen today, as the old man had said those kinds of things would be normal for him as he was a hunter from the sect. This is why he had to become stronger so that he could protect himself and his companions.
