Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Xue Yao decided to talk to Liu Maodong, "Master Liu, why do you practice evil magic?"

Liu Maodong's eyes flickered, "I just want to save people... This is my only way."

Xue Yao pressed on, "But evil magic often has unpredictable consequences. How can you guarantee that you won't hurt others?"

Liu Maodong lowered his head and said nothing.

This was not like the Liu Maodong she knew. Xueyao felt that he was a completely different person.

She thought to herself that she must find a way to make him come back and not let him fall deeper into trouble.

Xueyao began to think about countermeasures. She knew that directly stopping Liu Maodong from practicing sorcery would likely resent him and even make him more determined to follow this path. She decided to start by understanding him, understanding why he chose this path, and then finding a way to convince him.

Xueyao observed Liu Maodong more carefully and found that his kindness and perseverance had not changed, but he had chosen the wrong way to realize his ideal. At the same time, she also found that Liu Maodong was indeed under great mental pressure in the process of practicing the evil magic, and his eyes were full of fatigue and confusion.

Xue Yao decided to start with his mental stress. She used her medical skills to help Liu Maodong relieve stress, and also used her sincerity and kindness to influence him.

She told Liu Maodong that everyone has their own value and mission, and there are proper ways to achieve them. If one takes a wrong path in a rush for quick results, the result will be more harm than good.

Sometimes, returning to our original intentions and returning to the most essential things may be the right path.

She sighed deeply, "Master Liu, do you know? A doctor's heart is filled with compassion. True medical skills are used to save lives, not to pursue some kind of power."

Liu Maodong raised his head, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes. "But I really have no other choice. Those patients can't be cured with ordinary medical skills."

Xue Yao frowned. She understood Liu Maodong's confusion and helplessness, but she couldn't let him go astray. "Master Liu, perhaps we can find other methods together that don't necessarily rely on sorcery."

Liu Maodong was silent for a while, then nodded, "Okay, I'm willing to try."

Xueyao felt relieved. She knew this was just the beginning. It would take time and effort to truly change Liu Maodong's mind. But she believed that as long as they worked together, they would definitely find the right path.

However, since his thoughts have loosened up, it is a good thing.

After much deliberation, she decided not to delay any longer and decided to arrange an opportunity to guide Liu Maodong back on the right path.

A few days later, Xueyao found Liu Maodong in the teahouse where they had discussed cooperation before. Later, Xueyao learned that the teahouse was actually Liu Maodong's business.

Taking a sip of tea, Xue Yao smiled at Liu Maodong and said, "Master Liu, we're visiting every household in Liancheng to provide medical care to the citizens. Have you heard about this?"

"I heard about it." A trace of guilt flashed in Liu Maodong's eyes. He had also wanted to participate, but practicing that technique recently had really taken up a lot of his time.

"During our visits, we discovered that many families are facing difficulties in life. We have registered them and would like to provide some assistance to these families." Xue Yao nodded gently. "You have been doing business in Liancheng for many years. You can say that you know the locals inside and out. I would like to hear your advice on how to achieve the best results."

Xue Yao had made up her mind. Today she would not mention anything about asking him to give up his evil thoughts.

Liu Maodong was slightly taken aback. He had not expected that Xueyao would come to him to discuss such a matter. In his impression, Xueyao had always been a noble and cold woman who would rarely care about such trivial matters.

But now, she is running around to help those families in need, which makes him feel a little ashamed.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly began, "Actually, to truly help them, money and supplies alone are not enough. We need to find the root cause of their difficulties and solve the problem at its root."

A glint of admiration flashed in Xueyao's eyes. She knew that Liu Maodong's idea was correct. Often, people only see the surface of the problem and ignore the root cause. Only by finding the root cause of the problem can we truly solve it.

She nodded. "Mr. Liu is right. Then why don't we go visit those families together, understand their true situation, and then find a way to help them."

Liu Maodong didn't say anything else, but his eyes showed a firmness. Xueyao was inviting him to work together for the people of Liancheng.

So Xueyao and Liu Maodong visited many families together, learned about their difficulties and needs, and not only provided financial and material assistance, but also helped them find solutions to their problems.

For example, some people worked for them, earning a monthly salary and making their lives less difficult. Some started small businesses with their help. Some, through Liu Maodong's introductions, found paid work elsewhere.

Xueyao also spotted six other people, who joined the group of talented medical students she had previously discovered, to study medicine together. Xueyao not only provided food and lodging for these twenty people, but also provided a monthly stipend of five taels of silver per person during their studies. This allowed them to use the money to supplement their family expenses. Once they had completed their studies and were able to earn their own living, it would not be a problem.

In this process, Liu Maodong gradually understood what true benevolence of a doctor meant.

In the end, they successfully helped many families out of their difficulties, and Liu Maodong seemed to have found his true mission. He understood that true medical skills are not about pursuing a certain power, but about saving people and benefiting the people.

One day, as if he had a sudden epiphany, he suddenly felt ridiculous. Why would he choose to learn such a lowly technique? Ridiculous, ridiculous, truly ridiculous. Was he still himself?

What he didn't know was that Xue Yao had specially brought him to the secret winery, and let him taste the newly brewed secret fruit wine. She asked Xue Yu, Yun Duoduo and Ren Hu to guard outside, raised her hand to let him fall asleep, and with a thought, he entered the Yaolin Secret Garden.

Xue Yao separated a wisp of her spiritual consciousness and entered his sea of consciousness. Using the power of the waterfall, she cleared away all the black energy without causing any harm to him.

While he was still asleep, he left the secret garden.

When Xueyao woke him up, he was still lying on the table, "Hey, why did I fall asleep?"

He was still a little embarrassed.

Xue Yao smiled slightly and shook her head gently. "It's nothing, maybe you're too tired. Have some tea to wake up."

Liu Maodong picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and immediately felt refreshed. He looked at Xueyao, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes, "Thank you, Xueyao."

Xue Yao shook her head. "No need to thank me. We are all doing this for the people of Liancheng."

Liu Maodong was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked at Xueyao, "Xueyao, I want to tell you something."

Xue Yao smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead, I'm listening."

Liu Maodong took a deep breath and said, "I have decided to give up my sorcery and become a real doctor again."

A hint of surprise flashed in Xueyao's eyes. She knew that this was Liu Maodong's true decision, and it was also the result she wanted. "Master Liu, have you really decided?"

Liu Maodong nodded. "Yes, I've decided. I want to use my medical skills to save people, not to harm them."

Xue Yao laughed. She knew it was the most beautiful sound she had ever heard. "Master Liu, I'm so proud of you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if all the difficulties had disappeared.
