There was silence on and below the city wall, and everyone was holding their breath waiting for Zhuge Feng's answer.
"It's because of the plague!" Zhuge Feng said firmly, "More than a decade ago, everyone in Yong'an City was on the verge of life and death, and the plague was raging. Yuehua regarded Yong'an City as his home and all of you as his relatives, so he would save you even if he had to sacrifice everything."
"He tried to infect himself with the plague and tried various medicines to control the spread of the plague. In the end, he finally found a pill to cure the plague. However, his dantian was damaged during his repeated attempts. He could no longer condense spiritual fire and could no longer make pills!"
Under the city wall, all the people in Yong'an City felt as if they were struck by lightning, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Zhuge Feng continued, "He sacrificed his future and his fundamental talent as a doctor so that all of you could survive. But how did you treat him? You actually allowed Li Zhenyu to spread rumors to hurt and slander him? Check your conscience. Do you think that by doing this, you are worthy of your own survival and your relatives who survived more than ten years ago?"
Some people in the crowd were already sobbing, and everyone's eyes were filled with regret and self-blame.
Master Yuehua suddenly stepped forward, pressed on Zhuge Feng's shoulder, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Zhuge, stop talking. I... I don't feel any pain. Look, isn't it a blessing in disguise for me? If Xiyue hadn't seen the injury to my Dantian at a glance, I wouldn't have believed him. If I hadn't believed in him, Xiaotian's illness wouldn't have been cured immediately, and I wouldn't have received so many Yunsui Pills... I don't hate him at all, on the contrary, I feel very good and satisfied!"
He looked at the people under the city wall and said loudly: "Yong'an City is my home. Everything I have done was done willingly and I have never regretted it."
"If you really want to thank me, Yuehua, then please transfer all your gratitude to Xiyue. It was Xiyue who gave me a new life and qualified me to be a doctor again. I can never repay Xiyue's kindness to me even if I spend my whole life!"
"Master Yuehua, you saved my life more than ten years ago. Xi Yue is your benefactor, which means she is our benefactor! I am willing to repay Divine Doctor Xi on behalf of Master Yuehua. As long as Divine Doctor Xi has something to do for me, I, Zhao Ting, will never have a single complaint!"
"So does my family!"
"From now on, Divine Doctor Xi is the most distinguished guest of our Yong'an City!"
"That's right. If anyone dares to slander Divine Doctor Xi again, I, Zhang Laowu, will never let him go!"
Hexi, who had just walked down the city wall, suddenly heard earth-shaking shouts from inside and outside the city wall.
Although the shouts were not uniform at all, they were all mixed with his name - Doctor Xi.
She was slightly stunned and couldn't help shaking her head and chuckling.
Nangong Yu, who was standing by, reached out and pulled her into his arms, and whispered with a slightly bitter tone, "Little girl, I really want to hide you. Why is it that no matter where you go, you will become the focus of everyone's attention, making it impossible for everyone to take their eyes off you?"
He Xi grabbed his hand and smiled slyly, "What? Lord Pluto is jealous?"
Nangong Yu stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of her nose, then held her tighter in his arms, "Xi'er, I'm just afraid... The better you are, the more afraid I am that one day you will leave me!" (To be continued)
