Qi Zhen put down the medical scroll in his hand, looked up at Doctor Li, and asked in a serious tone, "What else did the Spirit Physician tell you?"
Although he was very skeptical of the "miracle doctor" that Doctor Li had mentioned, he couldn't think of anyone else besides the miracle doctor and the sect leader who could write such profound content so skillfully in this master's manual.
He couldn't understand why the Spirit Doctor would suddenly appear in Tianzhao Kingdom and even give the master's secret manual of the Divine Doctor Sect to someone who had been expelled from the Divine Doctor Sect.
Doctor Li was still shaken when facing the people from the Divine Physician Sect, but when he thought of Princess Weiyang behind him and the medical scroll he had, he quickly calmed down.
"He didn't explain anything further, just told me to familiarize myself with the contents, but they were too profound for me to understand at the moment."
Qi Zhen stared at Doctor Li with a solemn expression. "This medical scroll contains the secrets of my Divine Physician Sect. Since you are no longer a member of the Divine Physician Sect, this medical scroll cannot be handed to you unless you can tell me where the Spirit Physician is now and have him testify that he personally handed it to you. Only then will I believe your words."
As they were talking.
Qi Zhen stood up and slowly walked towards Doctor Li, his eyes cold and sharp. "You have violated the rules of the Divine Physician Sect by using their medical skills without authorization. I should enforce the sect's rules and cripple your hands."
The words were spoken.
Dr. Li's shoulders trembled slightly.
"I'll give you a day to think about it."
Suppressing his fear, Doctor Li nodded and asked, "Sect Master, aren't you worried about offending the Spirit Physician?"
Qi Zhen remained unfazed. "If he is truly a spiritual healer, he will understand that I am merely following the rules. Once the truth is confirmed, I will not disturb his cultivation. If I truly anger him, what harm is there in apologizing?"
Dr. Li lowered his eyes, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Qi Zhen gave Doctor Li a stern look and said, "I will come again at this time tomorrow."
Qi Zhen strode out of the pharmacy with the medical scroll in his hand. When he reached the door, he saw Mu Chenshuang standing outside. He had noticed her presence earlier and bowed respectfully, saying, "Princess Weiyang."
Mu Chenshuang looked at Qi Zhen with cold eyes, "Practicing medicine and treating diseases is the duty of a doctor. Doctor Li saves lives and heals the wounded, bringing benefits to the people. Why does that break the rules of the Divine Doctor Sect? Doesn't the Divine Doctor Sect exist to save the world from suffering?"
The aggressive questioning startled Qi Zhen. No one dared to question the rules of the Divine Physician Sect in such a way, given its status in the Xuanzhou Continent. Even the emperor had to show respect to the Divine Physician Sect.
"A country has its laws, and a family has its rules. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. The Divine Physician Sect has its own rules. Those who are expelled from the Divine Physician Sect have naturally committed serious crimes. What qualifications do they have to practice medicine again? If they use the unique medical techniques of the Divine Physician Sect without authorization and are exploited by those with ulterior motives, thus damaging the reputation of the Divine Physician Sect, then that would be a desecration of the Divine Physician Sect."
Qi Zhen retorted emphatically.
"Therefore, I advise Princess Weiyang to refrain from interfering in matters concerning the Divine Physician Sect." The tone was one of warning and caution.
After Qi Zhen left.
Doctor Li came out and asked with a worried tone, "Princess Weiyang, you heard what just happened. What are your plans now?"
He was puzzled as to why Princess Weiyang was unwilling to reveal her identity.
Mu Chenshuang noticed Doctor Li's confusion, "Now is not the time to reveal our identities."
Dr. Li dared not ask any more questions.
"Let's go inside and talk."
Mu Chenshuang walked into the house, and Doctor Li hurriedly brewed a cup of tea.
"What did you do to be expelled from the Divine Physician Sect?" Mu Chenshuang asked Doctor Li.
Doctor Li looked worried.
Mu Chenshuang held her teacup and said slowly, "I believe in Doctor Li's character. Your tireless efforts to treat the poor are the best proof of your competence as a doctor."
Doctor Li sighed softly. Now that things had come to this, he really had nothing left to hide. He explained, "Eleven years ago, my junior sister and I were selected to join the Divine Physician Sect at the same time. My junior sister and I were married before entering the sect, arranged by our parents and a matchmaker. My junior sister had a very high talent and attainment in medicine, so she was quickly selected to study more advanced medical techniques within the sect. The Divine Physician Sect has a strict hierarchy, so my junior sister and I saw each other less and less."
Until she took the initiative to find me and said she wanted a divorce, I couldn't bear the blow and lost my will to practice. I drank every day, and one night I stumbled into the library in a daze. When I woke up, I quickly left. The next day, I heard that the internal medical scrolls were missing, but the scrolls were found in my room. I couldn't explain myself, so..."
As Dr. Li spoke, she lowered her eyes. Although she had long since let go of the past, she still felt sad and distressed when she thought about it.
"So someone deliberately placed the stolen medical records in your room. Do you know who it was?"
Dr. Li shook his head and sighed, "I don't know who it is either."
"So you divorced your junior sister after being expelled from the Divine Healer Sect?"
"Yes, I don't want to hold her back either."
"Is your junior sister seeing another man?"
Dr. Li was silent for a moment, his eyes filled with sorrow. "People strive for better things. I am no longer good enough for her. She truly deserves a better man to grow old with."
"Then do you know who your junior sister is with?"
