"My beauty, I've finally seen you again!"

Fei Zhiyou smiled and expressed a feeling of having gone through countless hardships and witnessed the vicissitudes of life.

“We were just talking about you, and here you are, how wonderful,” Chu Luo replied with a smile.

Fei Zhiyou reached out to take her pulse. "Are you fully healed? Give me your hand, let me take a look."

"Why don't you check if he's alright?" Chu Luo gestured for Fei Zhiyou to look at Jin Wuchen.

She was worried that Jin Wuchen might have suffered other injuries besides his hands after being in the water for so long.

"What's wrong with him?" Fei Zhiyou's expression turned serious upon hearing this.

After looking Jin Wuchen up and down and noticing his expression, he relaxed and said, "You should take a look. If you don't, the wound might heal by now."

Joking aside, after the three returned to the house, Fei Zhiyou still gave the two a thorough check-up.

Chu Luo gave a general account of what had happened.

After listening, Fei Zhiyou said to Chu Luo, "It's only because this non-human creature is so capable that it can do such a deadly thing without much problem. Taking a dose of medicine and taking a few medicinal baths should be fine. If it were anyone else, they would probably have died countless times."

Chu Luo asked Fei Zhiyou, "What about the injury on his hand?"

Fei Zhiyou glanced at him and laughed, "Beauty, what kind of injury is that to him? It's nothing, not even a drizzle. If the river water hadn't been so dirty, and if he weren't so particular about cleanliness, he probably wouldn't have even bothered to apply the medicine."

"Oh"

From what Chu Luo heard, Jin Wuchen's injuries were far more serious than the wounds on his hands. Yet, he was already terrifyingly powerful and had so many experts under his command. How could he have been seriously injured? Chu Luo didn't understand.

"The one we need to pay special attention to right now isn't him, it's you. The river water is dirty, let him take a bath first, and I'll give you a good check-up." Fei Zhiyou could tell that Chu Luo's body had another problem.

"What's wrong with me?"

“My beauty, your constitution is special. Ordinary cold medicines may help a little, but not much. Jin Wuchen sent word to the imperial physician that your pulse was abnormal, so I rushed back on horseback, but your pulse is fine today.”

Fei Zhiyou examined the area thoroughly again but still found nothing unusual, which made him frown slightly.

"Could it be that the physician made a mistake?" Chu Luo tried to conceal the fact that her pulse had been abnormal.

Fei Zhiyou shook his head. "It's possible that one of the family physicians made a mistake, but Jin Wuchen also detected something unusual. His family physicians are no ordinary people either; the possibility of both of them making a mistake is very low."

She was unconscious at the time and missed the time to take the medicine to conceal her pulse, which is why the imperial physician and Jin Wuchen were able to detect it. However, she took the medicine very quickly afterward.

When Chu Luo heard that Fei Zhiyou believed Jin Wuchen's pulse diagnosis, she asked curiously, "Does Jin Wuchen also understand medicine?"

Fei Zhiyou laughed and said, "He knows a little bit about many things. Although he doesn't specialize in any one area, he's quite competent in what he does know. He might not be good at treating patients and prescribing medicine, but when it comes to taking a pulse, he's almost as good as an expert doctor."

"He's actually that talented?"

"Yes, several renowned medical experts have wanted to take him on as a disciple before."

Chu Luo was curious as to why he wouldn't agree.

Fei Zhiyou recalled his childhood rejection and felt truly infuriated: "I don't have a talent for medicine, I have a talent for everything. Don't even think about changing me, I don't have that kind of compassion."

Previously, it was always Shen Chen who checked Chu Luo's pulse. Even though he was extremely skilled at pulse diagnosis, he was unable to detect any abnormalities in her pulse after she took the medicine.

Fei Zhiyou's medical skills were clearly superior to Shen Chen's. After Fei Zhiyou treated her, many of Chu Luo's symptoms that used to appear from time to time improved significantly.

Even the heartache that used to afflict her only occurred once, when she fainted in the garden.

In her past lives, she had encountered many skilled doctors who could alleviate her heartache. Only the divine physician Long Yu, who gave her medicine to conceal her pulse in her third life, and Fei Zhiyou in this life could do so.

Fei Zhiyou is still young, yet he already possesses such medical skills. Given time, it remains to be seen whether he will be able to discern the pulse patterns hidden by that divine physician.

Remembering the words of the divine doctor, she felt both uneasy and expectant. If he could see through her, perhaps he could save her, and her abnormal pulse would no longer be a secret.

In her previous lives, she died at Feng Zhe's hands before she even had a chance to find someone to save her.

"It's probably because my blood and qi were turbulent that day, and I was caught in the heavy rain, which caused this change. It's nothing to worry about. Please write down the prescription quickly. I have something to ask you after you finish writing it."

Chu Luo didn't want him to investigate the abnormal pulse any further at the moment.

"I'm also curious about what she wanted to ask you; she kept repeating it on the carriage."

Jin Wuchen returned after taking a bath and changing his clothes.

Fei Zhiyou beamed with joy upon hearing this. "So it was you who was thinking of me, my beauty. No wonder my ears felt so hot."

Chu Luo didn't answer, but asked what was on her mind: "In the past, floods always easily led to epidemics. This time, the dam didn't break, so not many people died from the disaster. Does that mean there won't be any epidemics?"

While Fei Zhiyou was pondering, Jin Wuchen directly asked Chu Luo, "Besides what you told me, did you also see any other plagues in your dreams?"

"Yes, but that only happens after the dam breaks. I've consulted ancient books, which say that if a large number of human and animal carcasses are not disposed of in time after a flood, it can cause an epidemic. If the dam hadn't broken, would there have been no epidemic?"

Chu Luo wasn't sure if her judgment was correct. She wasn't a doctor, and only after asking Fei Zhiyou did she feel completely at ease.

"Do you remember where the epidemic started? Let's go take a look."

Jin Wuchen didn't want to hear any possible assessments; an epidemic was no small matter, so it was better to take preventative measures directly.

"Dream?" Fei Zhiyou didn't understand what this had to do with dreams.

Chu Luo briefly explained to him the relationship between her dream and reality.

"If what happened before is true, then we'll listen to him. Let's go to the place you mentioned first and eliminate any potential threats before the epidemic breaks out."

Fei Zhiyou also agreed with Jin Wuchen's opinion.

The three agreed to go the next day.

The next day, the continuous heavy rain finally stopped, and the sun came out.

Chu Luo and her group went to the place called Dazhipu in her dream. After all, it was to take precautions before things happened. The further they went, the more relaxed Chu Luo became.

However, when Fei Zhiyou saw several people coming from the direction of Dazhipu, his expression tightened, and he ordered the carriage to retreat to a place far enough away.

Chu Luo immediately had the worst thought in her mind: "What's wrong?"

"We can't go any further; there's a problem."

Fei Zhiyou took out paper and pen and kept writing something.

"It's probably too late." Jin Wuchen knew Fei Zhiyou well, but his actions already spoke volumes.

"How could that be? I checked on the way here. This Dazhipu is located on high ground and should not be affected by the flood." This is why Chu Luo felt more and more at ease as they went further.

"The cause is unknown, but their symptoms are not right." Fei Zhiyou handed the written document to Jin Wuchen for a glance, then gave it to Qingniao, asking him to make arrangements.

As Qingniao was about to leave, Fei Zhiyou instructed, "Make sure the people going in take proper precautions, take the medicine they used to treat the epidemic every day, and take good care of their families so they have no worries."
