Huaxia, Jiangzhou. The sky is clear and the air is fresh.
A young man dressed in a robe, with a handsome face and a straight stature, carrying a wrapped bundle on his shoulder, stands on a high ground, overlooking Jiangzhou.
The Jiangzhou before him is filled with towering buildings; things have changed, and so have the people.
"Eight years... a full eight years have passed..."
Back in the day, Fang Yu and his master were chased and sought refuge in the mountains, and in the blink of an eye, eight years had gone by.
All things in this world are ever-changing.
If he hadn't taken the path of medicine and formally embarked on the cultivation journey of the Nine Transformation Divine Dragon Technique... perhaps he would never have been able to return!
Who would have thought that the young man who once caused a stir in Jiangzhou has now become a steady young man?
He still remembers the words those people said—
"Don't blame us for being merciless; if you have to blame someone, blame the Fang Family for being too overbearing. To eliminate the weeds, one must remove the roots; not a single member of the Fang Family should be spared!"
"Do you still think that Fang Yu is a genius? Now you realize he's useless? Too late!"
...
After a while, a cool breeze from the direction of Jiangzhou pulls Fang Yu back from his thoughts, his icy facial expression replaced by a warm smile.
Now, it's my turn to come looking for you!
Fang Yu walks down from the high ground and takes out a piece of paper from his bundle, looking at it with interest.
"Huaxia Hospital? Old man, you told me to settle down at this hospital when I came to Jiangzhou. Why do I have a feeling that it's a trap?"
Eight years, truly too long, many things have changed.
Eight years can see a lot of occurrences; they can change a person, and they can change the hearts of people...
"Old man, I hope what you said is true..."
Fang Yu takes out another piece of paper from his chest but... he does not unfold it, instead, he stuffs it back, muttering: "Fate will bring us together if it's meant to be; I might as well head to Huaxia Hospital first."
...
...
Outside the gates of Huaxia Hospital in Jiangzhou.
Fang Yu, in a long robe, walks into the lobby, where the medical staff and patients are bustling about. Yet none of this affects him.
Out of professional courtesy, a receptionist at the front desk with a smile asks: "Excuse me, sir, are you here for treatment?"
Fang Yu steps forward to the counter, laying the paper down and saying, "I'm looking for this person; this is a letter of introduction."
The receptionist picks up the paper, and after a glance, is taken aback, saying, "You're looking for our dean? Please come with me."
Fang Yu is slightly surprised; the person his master introduced him to is the dean of a hospital? Hmm, not bad. This hospital is pretty big, with my medical skills, it shouldn't be a problem for me to be a department head or something.
The two make their way upstairs.
To the dean's office.
Knock knock—
A knock at the door.
"Come in."
The door opens.
The dean, with streaks of white hair, sits at a spacious desk, and opposite him on the couch sits a female doctor in a white coat, exuding nobility and a sharp gaze.
The nurse places Fang Yu's given paper on the desk.
"Dean, he says he's here to see you."
The dean picks up the paper, puts on his glasses, and after a glance, his expression changes abruptly, and he hurriedly looks up to appraise the young man behind him.
"You... are you Fang Yu?"
"That's me." Fang Yu says with a smiling face.
The dean's face brightens with joy, and his expression carries more surprise.
"How is... Old Fang doing?" The dean asks, somewhat excited.
"Oh, he's doing quite well." Fang Yu walks over to the couch and sits down directly beside it, causing the female doctor next to him to frown slightly and subtly move aside to keep some distance.
"Sigh, it would be good if Old Fang could return." Dean Wu Cunzhong sighs, takes another look at Fang Yu, and nods lightly, "Alright then, Old Fang has already notified me about you, from today onwards, you'll start working at Huaxia Hospital."
Fang Yu nods and smiles, "Dean Wu, no need to be so polite. Although I'm highly skilled in medicine, I hope you treat me just like everyone else, with equal respect..."
"Erm..." Dean Wu Cunzhong is caught off guard, feeling that something is a bit off with the young man, "You know medical skills?"
"Me?" Fang Yu dismissively replies, "Not to boast, but as long as the patient still has a breath in them, I can resurrect the dead!"
"..."
The female doctor nearby almost cannot restrain herself. How can someone be so shameless, bragging like this, just another privileged connection – does he really need to boast so much?
Finding it awkward, Dean Wu Cunzhong turns his head and smiles, introducing, "I'll introduce you—this is the vice director of surgery at our hospital, Xu Zhaopei... Xu, you'll arrange his work."
Xu Zhaopei sizes up Fang Yu with a glance, snorts lightly, and asks, "What skills do you have?"
Fang Yu meets Xu Zhaopei's gaze without fear, his delicate features and a pair of clear eyes that shine like ink.
"I? I practice medicine."
"I know you practice medicine, but can you bring the dead back to life... Well then, start as a nurse. You don't have an issue with that, do you?" Xu Zhaopei's eyes were full of laughter.
"Nur...Nurse?" Fang Yu exclaimed in surprise.
A grown man working as a nurse... Is that really appropriate?
"Correct." Xu Zhaopei said seriously.
"My medical skill is so good, and you're making me be a nurse, wouldn't that be a waste of talent?" Fang Yu said with a hint of innocence.
"You say your medical skill is good, do you have a certificate? Do you have a medical license? Have you published any papers?"
"No." Fang Yu scratched his head, "But I can prove it to you... Are there any dying people in the hospital now? Let me treat them."
"Sorry, there aren't." Xu Zhaopei glared.
Just at this moment—
A nurse hurriedly ran from the outside, gasping for breath: "Xu... Doctor Xu, Director Du is calling for you, there's been an incident with a patient! Hurry!"
Xu Zhaopei frowned and said, "Follow me!"
...
...
Inside the operating room.
Director Du was sweating profusely, staring at the numbers on the monitor, at a loss.
"Director Du, Doctor Xu will be here any moment!"
"It's too late... I'm afraid... we can't save this one!"
Click!
Xu Zhaopei burst into the operating room in a hurry.
At the same time, Fang Yu entered the room wearing a long robe.
Everyone was startled...
"Who is this? Why enter without changing clothes?" a male doctor reprimanded.
"Get out!"
Xu Zhaopei's face was unpleasant, and she turned and glared at Fang Yu, whispering, "He's the new nurse."
"Nurse? Do you know that by coming in like that, you can bring in bacteria? Do you have any basic sense?" the male doctor continued to scold.
Fang Yu ignored the male doctor's ranting and instead fixed his gaze on the patient on the operating table.
Xu Zhaopei was anxious to save someone and started observing the situation, not having time to pay attention to Fang Yu's plight.
"Director Du, what exactly happened?"
Director Du glanced at Fang Yu casually and said, "The old wound has reopened, can't stop the bleeding, the heart is continuously weakening... sigh..."
The sound of the machine kept signaling danger.
Xu Zhaopei observed for a while and also shook her head continuously, though she was reluctant, she still said, "Director, we can't make it in time for the surgery."
"Is it hopeless?"
The surrounding doctors and assistants all sighed in turn.
"The identity of the patient isn't simple either, if they died in our hospital, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Director Du also said helplessly.
"The bleeding is severe, operating will only cause more blood loss, and we've nearly used up the transfused blood." The male doctor next to him said.
Director Du declared helplessly, "Notify the family, get ready..."
"Yes."
Just at that moment, the previously silent Fang Yu, who had been focusing on the patient on the operating table, carefully evaluating the condition, let a cold smile pass over his lips—
"Who says it's hopeless?"
Everyone was taken aback, their focus shifted to Fang Yu, the youth with a bag, wearing a long robe, dressed inappropriately, who had barged into the operating room!
Fang Yu walked toward the operating table, unaffected by those odd gazes...
"Get him out of here! For barging into the operating room, just fire him! I don't care what background you're relying on, breaking the rules means you're out!" Director Du burst out in angry embarrassment.
"Who is this guy? Daring to challenge the judgment of Director Du and Doctor Xu! He's got a death wish!"
"Probably some bumpkin from the countryside, the ignorant are fearless!"
In the operating room, it was all voices condemning Fang Yu...
However...
Fang Yu completely ignored their mockery and spoke, "The patient was injured six months ago, with a six-centimeter-long wound, three inches deep, damaged wound, excessive blood loss, right?"
"Hm?"
Xu Zhaopei's delicate body trembled; these were the details of the current patient's injury. Due to the patient's special status, only a few people had seen the information and case history. Fang Yu was a newcomer to the hospital, how did he know this?
"How do you know?" Xu Zhaopei asked.
