"Perhaps," Traveling Doctor Liu said and then shrugged. "It's a faint heartache and anger to see such a child be hurt and also a pity for the knowledge he had to be buried in history."
As a doctor, Traveling Doctor Liu was able to sympathized with the other people more easily. He also felt pity and sympathy for Kuang Shen.
So in the end, he chose to help this child, guided him in the way of medicine and finally taught him how to become a proper doctor. Slowly but surely, Traveling Doctor Liu allowed Kuang Shen to make his own name and grew up as a splendid doctor. But…
"Master, have you ever thought that not all of our personality are suitable to become a doctor?" Yu Zheng Xi asked.
"Of course I know that." Traveling Doctor Liu passed a look at Yu Zheng Xi. "Do you really think I don't know everyone's personality are different?
Expecting two different people to have the same set of personality would be extremely stupid. No one is exactly the same as another person.
They have their own uniqueness and so on. "So…"
"So I don't pressure them to become a person I want. I just guide them and let them grew up by themselves," Traveling Doctor Liu said. "After all, I'm a person in their lives but how they want to live their lives are ultimate their own decision."
He would not impose his views and thoughts to his disciples. Because in his opinion, it was wrong to do this.
Even if he will tell them how he viewed things, he would not expect them to be the same as him. It would be good for them to learn it as reverences. Yu Zheng Xi was silent.
He thought about Kuang Shen and shook his head.
His senior brother didn't accept any disciple in his life before, so when he was already old, it was hard for him to get a disciple. What he could do was to find someone to inherit this name so that it would not be lost in time. For this matter, he came to Traveling Doctor Liu.
Traveling Doctor Liu could actually introduce the other disciples to the ghost doctor, but the ghost doctor wanted a young person, someone who was not bound by any family and had little connection to many other people.
Because only if they were free and unbound would they be the most suitable to inherit the name of ghost doctor. The ghost doctor had offended many people in his entire life. If the next ghost doctor had a big family and people he or she cared for, it would be difficult for the ghost doctor to survive without suffering because he had to protect them. With this condition, Traveling Doctor Liu could only think of Chen Yuan, Yu Zheng Xi, Feng Qing Lan, and Kuang Shen. The others have families or people they cared for, so they were restrained and couldn't truly be free. Chen Yuan was first eliminated because she was blind and it would be inconvenient for the ghost doctor to be blind. The second one to be eliminated was Yu Zheng Xi because he didn't have much talent for medicine and also quite old. He was not suitable to be the next ghost doctor and he himself was not interested. So only Feng Qing Lan and Kuang Shen were left.
Neither of them have any family left and they were basically 'free.'
So Traveling Doctor Liu communicated with the two of them and Feng Qing Lan refused. It was because Feng Qing Lan preferred a completely free life without any restrains whatsoever. For him, it was the best that he didn't have any troubles or worries. On the other hand, Kuang Shen felt that having a force on his own was good, so he agreed.
In that arrangement, Kuang Shen met with the previous ghost doctor and after some things, Kuang Shen bore the name of the ghost doctor. Traveling Doctor Liu saw this and didn't have much comment. Anyway, his senior brother was happy with this decision, so he didn't interfere. "This name will also end with his death," Yu Zheng Xi said slowly. "Master, do you think it's a good idea to hand him over to the ghost doctor?"
