The phone rang with a number from Jing. A familiar voice came over the phone.

“Su Xiaoxue?” Wang Yao asked.

“It’s me, sir,” she replied.

“Did you change your mobile number?” Wang Yao asked.

“When I came out, I forgot to bring my mobile phone.” Su Xiaoxue sounded very happy. At the moment, she was on the Fragrance Hill in Jing. Suddenly, she remembered to call Wang Yao for no reason. She discovered that she had forgotten to bring her mobile phone, so she borrowed the phone from her elder brother.

“Has the clinic opened?” Wang Yao asked.

“It opened just today,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Congratulations on your opening business. I wish you wealth,” Wang Yao said.

“Thank you. You should come visit when your free.” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Sure!” Wang Yao’s answer made Su Xiaoxue happy.

“Who are you chatting with? You are so happy,” the masculine, handsome man next to her asked with a smile.

“I won’t tell you,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“I know even if you don’t tell me. Is it Dr. Wang?” Su Zhixing was very fond of his sister. He was in the army, so he was rarely at home. Whenever he was home, he would spend as much time as possible with his sister. So, he had accompanied his sister out to climb Fragrance Hill.

“Brother, when I am completely well, I want to follow Dr. Wang and practice,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“What? Practice!” Su Zhixing was shocked. He had not heard this from his parents.

“The Taoist neixi,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Neixi. What for?” her brother asked.

“I have already learned some of it,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“The Taoist’s neixi? Sister, are you lying to me?” Su Zhixing asked.

“Of course, we can have a competition if you don’t trust me,” Su Xiaoxue said and shook his white palms.

“Competition? But how?” Su Zhixing asked.

“Well, arm wrestling,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Arm wrestling? You and me?” Su Zhixing was shocked.

“Yes, don’t you dare?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“OK,” Su Zhixing said.

They came to a pavilion on the mountain.

“Wait, I will lay it down for you. Otherwise, it’ll be cold when you sit down.” Su Zhixing put a layer of cotton mat on the stone bench.

“Come on.” Su Zhixing extended three fingers.

“Brother, are you looking down on me?” Su Xiaoxue asked and snorted.

“Just warm up first,” he replied.

After Su Zhixing graduated from high school, he applied for military academy. He had been in the army for more than 10 years and in the Marine Corps for a period of time. He often trained in the army. Needless to say, he was very strong. His sister, who had been lying in bed for years, was seriously ill. It was only that she could move her body freely, let alone lift with her hands.

He only saw the arm wrestling as a game to play with his sister. It was a rough hand and a soft little hand held together.

Ah! Su Zhixing looked at his sister with surprise. Her arm, which was thinner than half of his wrist, was surprisingly strong. He couldn’t believe it.

Su Xiaoxue smiled and looked at her brother. “Brother, don’t give in to me!”

“No!” Su Zhixing had thought about giving in to his sister to make her happy. When he felt that the strength of her hand was getting bigger, he gave up the idea. Now, he felt that even if he used all his strength, he could not win.

In fact, it was the truth. A man in the military day and night, who was like an iron man, was defeated by a weak girl.

“Brother, did you deliberately give in to me?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“Sister, tell me the truth. How did you do that?” Su Zhixing asked with unusual shock.

“It is neixi!” Su Xiaoxue did not conceal anything from her brother.

“You really can use neixi,” he said with surprise.

“Of course.” Su Xiaoxue hesitated. She then picked up a stone from the ground and held it in her hand. It seemed that she pinched it lightly, then the stone all turned into a broken piece.

Su Zhixing stared at the broken stone and then reached out to have a try. It was true. “Sister, where did you learn from?”

“Dr. Wang,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Dr. Wang. Is that Wang Yao?” her brother asked.

“Correct,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“He knows this?” Su Zhixing was shocked.

Others might be unclear, but he knew what his sister had just displayed. It was absolutely martial arts but not like what could break stone in a chest. If the internal martial arts was added in the boxing fighting that he learned in the army, the power would be multiplied.

Since his sister had reached this level, the achievement of Wang Yao would be more unpredictable. When he thought about that, he even wanted to follow him to practice for a while.

“Sister, tell me, to what extent does Dr. Wang get?” Su Zhixing was now very curious about Wang Yao, though he had only seen him two times.

“I don’t know, but I heard from Sister Chen Ying that his achievement is unusually high,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Chen Ying?” Su Zhixing asked.

In the afternoon, the sun was just going down in the west. In the small courtyard, there was a cup of tea, a man, and a woman.

“Why do you have leisure time here, child?” Chen Ying asked with a smile.

“Hey, don’t call me that. It sounds uncomfortable. Call me brother.” Su Zhixing drank some tea. “Is Xiao Zhou well?”

“No. He just had a temporary relapse. I picked him up for the Spring Festival. After Jan. 15, he will be sent back to continue the treatment,” Chen Ying said.

During this time, they lived in this small yard. Occasionally, she went out with their younger brother to see the historical sites in Jing. Chen Zhou was very happy, and she was very happy, too.

“Is Wang Yao his doctor?” Su Zhixing asked.

“Yes,” Chen Ying replied.

“He is exactly why I came here today,” Su Zhixing said.

“What for?” Chen Ying was slightly puzzled.

“Did you know that Xiaoxue could use neixi?” Su Zhixing asked.

“Yes, I heard it from the lady,” Chen Ying said.

“Is her neixi from Wang Yao?” Su Zhixing asked.

“Yes,” Chen Ying said.

“How about Wang Yao’s achievement?” Su Zhixing asked.

“Achievement?” Chen Ying suddenly understood what his visit was about, but she did not know why he asked this question. “Do you mean martial arts?”

“Yes, martial arts,” Su Zhixing said.

“Hmmm…” Chen Ying thought for a while about how to describe it.

Honestly, she had never seen anyone who got the achievement as high as Wang Yao’s in her life. Even in her own school, no one could go beyond him. That night at the Great Wall was still fresh in her memory. It was as if he was really the legendary land god.

“His achievement is very high.” After thinking for a while, she made an ambiguous answer.

“Of course, I know that his achievement is very high. How high is it?” Su Zhixing asked.

“I have never seen a martial artist who is stronger than him,” Chen Ying said.

“Ah!” Su Zhixing listened and took a breath. “What about those in your school?”

“It’s hard to catch up with him,” Chen Ying said.

Su Zhixing knew the origins of Chen Ying’s school. It was a legacy that had been inherited for hundreds of years. It was real martial arts, not the performance or jugglery like in TV and movies.

“After I talking to you, I really want to meet this Dr. Wang.” Su Zhixing smiled. “But, a doctor should study hard for medical skills. Where did he learn such amazing skills, and when did he practice?”

“Someone is gifted in the world,” Chen Ying said.

“Yeah.” Su Zhixing nodded after listening.

“Do you want come to my house with Xiao Zhou?” Su Zhixing asked.

“No, thanks. You know about his situation. He may relapse at any time, so it’ll be better if we are both here. Thank you for your kindness,” Chen Ying said.

After leaving the small courtyard, Su Zhixing returned home. When he thought about it, he wanted to see Wang Yao more and more.

…

In the mountain village…

Wang Yao was reading “Ten Malignant Diseases” in the clinic. He had read this book three times. The content had already been recorded in his mind, but he still could not help taking it out to read it in his spare time. Every time he read it, he seemed to have some different ideas.

In this way, the days went by. On Jan. 9, a guest came to the clinic.

“Mr. Wu?” Wang Yao asked. Now that the Spring Festival holiday had passed, Wu Tongxing, a high-ranking persona, had personally come to the mountain village.

“Dr. Wang, happy new year,” Wu Tongxing said.

“Happy New Year,” Wang Yao replied.

“The old man’s medicine has been used up,” Wu Tongxing said.

“I can make some medicine for you to take tomorrow,” Wang Yao said.

The price of this drug was twice that of the regather soup because it involved many licorice roots. But the Wu family could pay for it.

“Good, good,” Wu Tongxing said. “This is my secretary, Shen Zhaoyu.” He specifically introduced the man in the 30s standing next to him.
