The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"Why would you help us?" Yu Sheng finally couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Divine Doctor Bupo just glanced at him indifferently and said, "Just because it's interesting." After that, he carried Situ Yaorao into his room.

As a doctor, your job is to save the world.

The divine doctor placed Situ Yaorao on the bed, a glint of light flashing in his beautiful eyes. He playfully cut a strand of Situ Yaorao's hair. The silver hair seemed to burn in his hands.

He didn't enjoy saving people, but he loved watching them struggle before his eyes. He hated being a doctor, but he had to admit that he enjoyed treating those strange illnesses.

And there are very few diseases in the world that he cannot cure.

But... the woman before him caught his eye. If it were just the Moonlight Poison, he wouldn't have thought much of it, as it would have been quite dull. The Moonlight Poison, so legendary to others, was nothing more than that in his eyes. However, the woman before him possessed a powerful yang blood. For such blood to exist in someone poisoned by the Moonlight Poison was essentially a death wish.

And she was really dying.

He was very interested, wondering who fed her that blood, was it to make her die early, or to make her controlled by others?

There weren't many things in the world that interested him. It could be said that Situ Yaorao was lucky. But, she was also unfortunate. Bupo took out a silver needle and gave the woman acupuncture.

Situ Yaorao, who was sleeping unconscious on the bed, spat out a mouthful of dirty blood and slowly opened her eyes.

"A miracle doctor?" Situ Yaorao blinked, feeling it was unrealistic. She had only tried her best to save him, but she had never expected him to actually save her.

Seeing her wake up, Bupo took the silver needle and said, "I saved you, but you can't break my rules. You owe me a life."

"So?" There is indeed no such thing as a free lunch!

"So, you have to do something for me." The man looked at Situ Yaorao and said lightly.

"Just tell me," Situ Yaorao agreed readily. In this era, to offend a miracle doctor was like cutting off one's own escape route. Who could guarantee that they wouldn't get sick in the future?

Seeing Situ Yaorao's ready agreement, Bupo thought she was tactful. He sat down beside her and said slowly, "I've told you about the problem here before. And I, indeed, cannot take the initiative to help Xunyang City. The reason is simple. The person who planted these poisonous peonies in Xunyang City was my junior apprentice. He has a perverse temper and ruthless methods. After completing his apprenticeship in his early years, he began practicing magic. He also somehow obtained a secret manual from the Demon Sect, knowing that the blood of someone poisoned by the Moonlight Poison could greatly increase his power. However, this poison had long been lost. Therefore, he obtained these poisonous peonies from elsewhere and used them in Xunyang City.

I should have cleaned up my mess and made a contribution to Xunyang City. However... my junior brother and I had a long-standing agreement that I couldn't interfere. So, I could only watch Xunyang City fall into the state it is today.

If you hadn't found a way to deal with the peonies here, I wouldn't have helped you. Therefore, I want you to follow my instructions and drive the city lord and my junior brother out of Xunyang City. Of course, if you can't do this, your blood will flow backward within a month." Divine Doctor Bupo's tone was calm.

As soon as these words came out, Situ Yaorao's face darkened.

This person actually made small movements to her body!

"I'm just being safe. After all, everyone has to think for themselves. Judging from your personality, you clearly don't want to get involved in this mess, so I apologize." Divine Doctor Bupo said, pushing open the window. Under the night sky, a thick blood mist filled the imperial city, staining his eyes. "I'm revered as a miracle doctor, and I don't want to save people. It's just that I can't bear to watch so many people die inexplicably. If you fulfill my request, I will treat you."

"Are you serious?" Situ Yaorao, who was originally depressed, suddenly brightened up her eyes when she heard this.

"I have no need to lie to you." The man said softly.

Situ Yaorao nodded after hearing this. "That's right. Lying to me won't do you any good. Since you've already promised me, I shouldn't refuse. I agree to it."

Situ Yaorao agreed decisively.

Although it was difficult, it wasn't impossible. And unless it was a miracle, Doctor Fupo would never have treated her. Now that Doctor Fupo had agreed, she naturally couldn't push him away.

Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao felt much better.

"Rest here. I'll explain everything to you tomorrow." Divine Doctor Bupo glanced at Situ Yaorao and said calmly. Then he turned and left.

After Bupo left, Situ Yaorao sat in her room. The aroma of medicine filled her nostrils. It should have been a soothing sleep, but she felt completely drowsy. She always felt that Xunyang City was like a mystery.

She had originally wanted to leave this mystery, but she was forced to be drawn into it. Everyone has their own frustrations. Although she wanted to stay away from these disputes, in the end, she had to compromise.

Because, there is no other way.

If you don't want to die, this is the only way. Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but laugh at herself. It was the first time she realized that she was so afraid of death.

Sitting on the bed, Situ Yaorao hugged her body with her hands, her white hair falling to her waist. The bed looked like silver satin. The moonlight was shining, and she was isolated from the world.

Situ Yaorao sat like this until dawn.

When Yu Sheng came in, she was a little surprised: "Is your hair back to normal?"

"Really?" Situ Yaorao hadn't looked in the mirror yet, so naturally she didn't know. So she quickly stood up and looked at herself in the mirror. Sure enough, her long black hair symbolized that she had truly returned to normal.

The divine doctor Bupo was indeed capable. He was able to restore her from a near-death state. Moreover, it was only a single injection. This also strengthened Situ Yaorao's resolve to wade into this murky water.

"The Divine Doctor Bupo asked me to call you. He said he has something to tell you and asked you to go to his medicine room." Yu Sheng looked at Situ Yaorao who had a strange expression and spoke.

"I understand." Situ Yaorao tidied her clothes, washed up, and then was about to go out.

"Situ... Although I don't know what you must do, if the conditions proposed by the Divine Doctor are too weird, don't agree to him. He gives me a very weird feeling. Do you know that the two children outside the door are not alive at all." Yu Sheng said with a frown.

Situ Yaorao was also shocked when she heard this: "Isn't he a living person?"

"It's Gu. They use dead people to plant Gu, and then control people. When I first saw these two children, I thought it was a bit strange. There was not a trace of humanity in them. Later, they kept their eyes open day and night, like wooden sculptures. They didn't eat and seemed to understand nothing. But this morning, they actually beat back the troublemaker with a single punch. I was convinced. This is indeed the Gu mentioned in the ancient recipes. It's a method used by the demonic cult."

Yu Sheng said with a frown.

"I understand. But Yu Sheng, there are some things you have to do," Situ Yaorao said helplessly. She walked out. After she left, she couldn't help but glance at the two children standing at the door. Sure enough, the two children didn't talk or move, like wooden sculptures.

Perhaps, what Yu Sheng said was true.

The herbal medicine room was Fupo's favorite place to spend his time. All his hard work had been poured into it. He rarely let anyone in. When Situ Yaorao entered, she looked at the scattered herbs and Bupo, who was sorting them. She was slightly surprised. Doctors usually hired a herbalist, but he did everything himself?

"You're here?" Bupo didn't look up, but said lightly: "Find a place to sit down. I'll talk to you after I sort out these herbs."

"Do you need help?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man and couldn't help but ask.

The man was slightly surprised, looked up at Situ Yaorao for a long while, and shook his head: "No need. These herbs must go through my hands. If I hadn't sorted them out myself, the medicinal properties might be different in the future. There are rules when washing herbs and placing them. If you are not careful, the medicinal properties of the herbs themselves will be lost. Once the medicinal properties are lost, you will not be sure when preparing the medicine. A slight error can lead to a huge mistake. This is what a doctor should do." The man's tone was light, but his hands moved smoothly, as if he was used to it.
