On the opposite bank of the lake, several simple wooden houses are built by the water. A fence about one meter high surrounds the houses and the open space in front of them, forming a farmhouse courtyard. This is one of Wang Han's destinations this time: Jinghu Medical Village.
At dawn, as the sun was just beginning to shine on the earth, Wang Han led Guina out of the divine power and appeared before the Mirror Lake Medical Manor.
"Brother Wang Han, what does this sign say?" Guina asked Wang Han curiously, looking at the sign hanging outside the door.
“This is the script of the Yan Kingdom. It is a rule established by Miss Duanmu Rong: three types of people who will not be rescued,” Wang Han said. “It means that people from the Qin Kingdom will not be rescued, people with the surname Gai will not be rescued, and people who are injured in a sword fight because of their fierceness will not be rescued.”
Upon hearing this, Guina asked curiously, "I understand the third one, but what about the first two rules? As a doctor, why establish such rules? Especially the first one, 'not saving people from Qin,' which means almost 90% of people won't be saved?"
"..." Upon hearing this, Wang Han fell silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "National hatred, family feuds, personal grudges, entanglements of interests, love and hate, right and wrong—how many people can truly understand all these things in the world? Even I cannot escape them. All the rights and wrongs and grudges cannot be easily let go. Just follow your own heart in what you do."
“Well said. All right and wrong, grudges and grievances, should be resolved by following one’s own conscience.” A woman walked out of a wooden house and said, “If you are unwilling, why make things difficult for yourself?”
“My name is Wang Han. I also know some medicine. I have heard that Miss Duanmu is a skilled doctor and is known as the Immortal Physician. I have come here today to exchange ideas and learn from her,” Wang Han said with a smile. He then introduced Duanmu Rong to his companion, “Guina.”
"I have long admired Mr. Wang Han's name. Please come in." Duanmu Rong nodded and said. She was not surprised at all by Wang Han's arrival, nor did she show any hostility because Wang Han had Ying Zheng's personal jade pendant. She obviously already knew that Wang Han would come. She just did not expect that Wang Han would come so quickly. She had just finished reading the message sent by Fan Zeng by carrier pigeon when Wang Han arrived.
"Mr. Wang Han, please make yourself at home. I still need to organize the medicinal herbs, so please excuse me." With that, Duanmu Rong left Wang Han and his companion to attend to her own business. Although Duanmu Rong had received Fan Zeng's message by carrier pigeon and had been given an explanation, and hadn't immediately considered Wang Han an enemy, inviting him into Jinghu Medical Manor, this wouldn't change her attitude towards him. Perhaps this was simply her nature.
"Whatever." Wang Han nodded, unconcerned about Duanmu Rong's attitude, and began observing the medicinal herbs Duanmu Rong had taken out to dry. Seeing this, Gu Yina, bored, began practicing her swordplay. She truly had no interest in pharmacology, nor did she possess the talent for it.

"I don't recognize any of the words on this."
"This is the script of the Yan state. It has been banned since the Qin state began to unify the script. However, we don't need to pay attention to Qin's laws here."
"What does it say on this?"
"This is a rule set by Miss Duanmu Rong, called the 'Three No-Saves' rule."
Hearing Tianming and Shaoyu's voices outside the door, Wang Han looked up at the group that had arrived at Jinghu Medical Manor and walked over to them.
"Mr. Wang Han." Fan Zeng greeted Wang Han quickly upon seeing him, hoping to resolve the misunderstanding between them. Although he still had doubts about Wang Han, he couldn't afford to offend such a talented person if there was any possibility of winning him over.
"Looks like I'm still a bit faster." Wang Han said casually, looking at Fan Zeng, before walking away.
"Uh..." Fan Zeng could only smile wryly at Wang Han's attitude. He led everyone into the medical clinic. Wang Han's words meant that they could reach the Jinghu Medical Clinic without traveling with them.
"Miss Rong."
After Xiang Liang and the others greeted Duanmu Rong, Duanmu Rong looked at Gai Nie being carried and asked Shao Yu, "What's wrong with this patient?"
Shao Yu quickly explained, "Our village was attacked by the Qin Kingdom's eagle claws this time. Fortunately, this senior came to our aid and repelled the powerful enemy. However, the senior was also seriously injured as a result, which is why we came to ask the physician Rong for treatment."
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Rong carefully examined Gai Nie's injuries. She said, "His injuries are already very serious, and he is on the verge of death, but I will not treat him."
"Miss Rong, why is that?" Xiang Liang asked, puzzled.
“You all know the three types of people I don’t save, right? Have you ever seen any exceptions?” Duanmu Rong said, “This person’s hands, as well as the muscles and bones in his arms, are characteristics that only come from years of sword practice. This person is not only skilled with a sword, but also a master swordsman.”
"This senior was seriously injured while saving the Chu family," Shao Yu quickly said.
"Hmph." Upon hearing this, Duanmu Rong smiled dismissively and said, "The rest of you have bruises but no sword wounds, which shows that the people who attacked the Chu family used blunt weapons instead of sharp ones. This person, on the other hand, not only has no bruises, but also has twenty or thirty wounds from various sharp weapons. If he was injured while saving you, I can treat him. Unfortunately, all of his injuries were sustained before this."
"..." Duanmu Rong's words immediately left Shao Yu and the others speechless.
"Take them out," Duanmu Rong said.
"Miss Rong, please save Mr. Gai no matter what. He's not fighting with anyone, he's fighting against the Qin army!" Shao Yu said urgently.
"You said his surname is Gai?" Upon hearing this, Duanmu Rong looked angrily at Shao Yu and the others, her tone turning colder.
