Chapter 2: The Master's Life and Responsibilities

Born as a bastard child to a prominent medical family in the capital, he was different from the moment he was born. While other babies cried and fussed, he lay quietly in his cradle, observing everything around him with equanimity. This surprised everyone, especially his father and stepmother. They felt this child would have great potential, so his stepmother arranged for someone to keep a close eye on him.

As he grew older, he developed a keen interest in herbal medicine and displayed remarkable medical talent. Whether identifying herbs or preparing medicines, he was always one step ahead of his peers. However, this also aroused the jealousy and resentment of his mother. She believed that the outstanding performance of the illegitimate son would threaten the status of the legitimate son, and she often made things difficult for him and suppressed him. However, his grandfather, the head of the Imperial Hospital, could not bear to let such a medical genius go unnoticed and decided to seek better opportunities for his illegitimate grandson.

After careful consideration, my grandfather sought out a Taoist friend and entrusted his eight-year-old grandson to the care of his friend at Daming Temple, over 8 miles from the capital. My grandfather believed that only by leaving the family strife behind could his grandson truly realize his talents.

Upon arriving at Daming Temple, the illegitimate grandson lived up to his grandfather's expectations. He studied diligently, sought advice humbly, and quickly mastered a wealth of advanced medical knowledge. Ten years later, he had learned everything his friend had learned and had become a highly regarded doctor near Daming Temple.

At this time, the grandfather received a letter from a friend asking about his illegitimate grandson's future plans. Knowing that his illegitimate grandson needed a wider environment to display his talents, the grandfather arranged for him to travel and gain more medical knowledge and experience. At the same time, the grandfather also told his illegitimate grandson not to return to the capital unless it was important.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than twenty years had passed. Though his older brothers had received a good education, none of them could sustain the family's legacy. And his grandfather's health was failing with advancing age. In desperation, he wrote once again to his friend, hoping he would summon his illegitimate grandson back to the capital to help the family through this difficult time.

After receiving his grandfather's letter, the illegitimate grandson embarked on his journey home without hesitation. He knew that he carried the family's expectations and must return as soon as possible to contribute his strength to the family. He endured hardships along the way and finally returned to the capital after a long absence.

The moment he stepped into his home, his heart was filled with emotion and anticipation. He knew that a difficult challenge awaited him, but he firmly believed that with his own efforts and wisdom, he would be able to overcome the difficulties and restore the family's glory.

However, before he could display his medical talent, his stepmother began to set traps for him everywhere, taking away his credit and giving it to his biological brother. In order to restrain him, she even arranged for him to marry an old niece of his stepmother who was divorced. He could not resist, and finally left the capital again under the arrangement of his grandfather.

Therefore, he never married in his life and traveled every day. Later, when his grandfather passed away, he did not receive any news and missed the chance to see his grandfather for the last time.

It was not until eleven years ago that my grandfather's fellow Taoist, who was also my master, sent me a message asking me to return to Daming Temple as soon as possible as there was an important task that needed to be completed.

He rushed to the temple day and night, but the master was already on the verge of death. He handed him a letter and passed away. After seeing the master off, he opened the letter, which contained only a short message: "In Changshan Village, Jiaoshan Town, Qingshui County, Xinyun Prefecture, there is a five-year-old mentally retarded girl. I will take her away to teach her skills and let her see all kinds of human life. I will send her back when she is normal, and his mission will be completed."

He couldn't understand why, until he saw a piece of paper his master had dropped behind his desk. Then he realized this girl might change the fate of Nanling Nation. So he set out again, thousands of miles away to Changshan Village, Jiaoshan Town, Qingshui County, Xinyun Prefecture. After much inquiry, he found Yang Mingxi, the third daughter of the fifth branch of the Yang family, a mentally retarded girl.
