In the tavern where Gao Yuxin and the others were dining, everyone was denouncing the misdeeds of the Crimson Fire Family.
"What is this Crimson Fire Family? Is this even a show of power? They forcibly detained Master Ma and Zhang Shenyi, and even held Divine Healer Phoenix captive. It's simply an act of defiance against the entire Dragon Python Celestial Domain."
"Phoenix, God of Medicine, and Zhang Shenyi are unparalleled healers of the Dragon Python Celestial Domain. How dare the Crimson Fire Family forcibly detain them? They are truly arrogant and outrageous, making us righteous individuals feel deeply wronged."
"Do they think the Crimson Fire Family is the best in the world? Do they not regard other Major Powers at all? This will cause other Major Powers to lose their best physicians. Their intentions are truly malicious."
Listening to the discussions, Chihuo Yang was filled with anger, but he had been through many affairs and had tempered himself into steel, so he remained calm.
He asked, "Everyone, do you know why the Crimson Fire Family wants to keep Master Ma and Zhang Shenyi while letting Divine Healer Phoenix go?"
"Nonsense. The Crimson Fire Family did not let Divine Healer Phoenix leave at all."
Chihuo Yang softly replied, "I just came from Phoenix's Divine Physician Pavilion. I saw with my own eyes that Phoenix has already returned to her Divine Physician Pavilion."
At that moment, a burly man walked in with a loud voice: "That's right, I just came from Senior Phoenix's Divine Physician Pavilion as well. Senior Phoenix has taken down the plaque of God of Medicine. She announced that someone is more skilled than her in medicine, so she will no longer be called God of Medicine; she will simply refer to herself as a physician."
Behind the burly man were several others, all of whom looked surprised: weren't these the Li Family's Four Young Masters? How did they end up in the Waydao Empire?
Someone went forward to greet the Li Family's Four Young Masters: "Welcome, Fourth Young Master, to the Waydao Empire."
The burly man clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry we couldn't invite Divine Healer Phoenix; we have let you down. I truly apologize."
The welcoming person hurriedly asked, "Did God of Medicine really take down her plaque?"
The burly man helplessly replied, "It's true. We tried repeatedly to persuade her but still couldn't move her. It seems that this visit to the Crimson Fire Family has exhausted her spirit. Moreover, she has repeatedly stated that there is a woman whose medical skills surpass hers and urged us to find that woman for help; she could surely bring our national uncle back to life."
"A woman? Who is she? Where is she?"
The strong man replied, "The God of Medicine says that the woman’s surname is Gao, and her medical skills are exceptional; she truly deserves to be called the contemporary God of Medicine. He holds her in high regard and sincerely hopes we can find her so she can showcase her talents. He also mentioned that the Elder Patriarch of the Crimson Fire Family was saved by the High-Surname Woman."
"Where did this woman come from, to possess such skills? I need to go there and find her," he said as he stood up to welcome the five disciples of the Li Family's Four Young Masters, letting out a sigh before remembering to invite each of the Li Family's Four Young Masters to take their seats.
Chihuo Yang then sat down. Since someone had confirmed that Divine Healer Phoenix had returned home, he would not dwell on it further. He knew it was impossible to completely silence everyone.
Gao Yuxin secretly admired Phoenix; she was a strong and intelligent woman who wanted to take this opportunity to break free from the constraints of various Major Powers. It seemed she would definitely go into hiding in the future and do what she loved.
Zhang Tianshi and Zhang Shenyi were unsure how the Crimson Fire Family would treat them, but it was easy to imagine that they would uncover the underlying power behind this incident and retaliate fiercely.
For these Major Powers, once they grasped a reason, they would stop at nothing. This was the advantage of having power.
After Chihuo Yang and his group left the tavern, he said to Gao Yuxin, "The Li Family's Four Young Masters are named Li Long, Li Fei, Li Feng, and Li Wu. They are cousins, with Li Feng being a female. All four are experts from the Mysterious Heaven Realm. They are well-known in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain; when mentioning dragon flying and phoenix dancing, everyone knows them. Even Lei Zhenxiao treats them with respect and avoids provoking them. In this Ranking Match, they are likely to shine."
Lat's Hand nodded in agreement, saying, "These four are indeed impressive; I could have a good fight with them."
Chihuo Yang's eyes glinted mischievously as he lightly smiled but did not speak.
Upon arriving at the Waydao Empire palace, Chihuo Yang instructed all accompanying protectors to wait outside while he brought only Gao Yuxin and Lat's Hand inside.
After some searching, Chihuo Yang's friend finally emerged. He led Gao Yuxin and the others into the palace.
Once Chihuo Yang introduced Gao Yuxin and mentioned that she was the divine doctor who healed the Elder Patriarch of the Crimson Fire Family, the officials of the Waydao Empire began to take Gao Yuxin seriously. Although they had their doubts, Chihuo Yang still held influence in the Waydao Empire; they did not believe he would deceive them. Thus, they directly welcomed Gao Yuxin and her companions into the palace.
Eventually, they led only Gao Yuxin into a very splendid palace before revealing the truth: The emperor himself had contracted an incurable illness and was on the brink of death.
Now they could not locate Zhang Shenyi, Master Ma, or Divine Doctor Phoenix, and chaos reigned within the palace.
However, they did not dare to openly declare that their patriarch was gravely ill like the Crimson Fire Family because a large empire has various internal interests and external threats. If the emperor were to suddenly die without a clear arrangement for succession, it could lead to catastrophic consequences or even a global war.
They had kept everything secret, seeking help from various doctors in the shadows, but to no avail. Many physicians were imprisoned in their palace because they had failed to save the emperor and were feared to leak information, so they were only placed under house arrest.
When Gao Yuxin arrived, the royal relatives of the Waydao Empire were initially very pleased, but upon seeing her in person, they felt secretly disappointed. A young girl, even if she had started learning medicine from birth, would not possess much medical skill.
Thus, the ministers agreed to let Gao Yuxin treat the emperor, but the royal relatives disagreed vehemently!
Consequently, the emperor's brother, who was currently the de facto regent, made a decision considering the opinions of the royal relatives, especially the queen. He forbade Gao Yuxin from personally treating the emperor and instead had her confined.
Since many physicians had failed to treat the emperor, it severely affected his confidence. The emperor began to doubt that he would not live much longer.
Therefore, finding someone to treat the emperor became increasingly selective. Only those with high moral standing and reputation were allowed to see him.
However, this directive was not announced publicly, which affected everyone's enthusiasm for seeking medical help. That is why the ministers agreed to let Gao Yuxin treat the emperor.
Thus, Gao Yuxin was inexplicably detained.
Chihuo Yang was unaware that everyone in the Waydao Empire only told him that Gao Yuxin was treating his father-in-law in the palace and would come out once she achieved results.
Two months passed like this, and the emperor of the Waydao Empire had already reached a critical condition. The Waydao Empire had no choice but to send a battleship and significant disciples to forcibly bring Phoenix to their realm.
Phoenix was unwilling to openly confront the Waydao Empire and could only endure humiliation as she was "invited" by them. After repeatedly examining the condition of the Waydao Empire's emperor, she said nothing and turned to leave.
After repeated pleas from the people of Waydao Empire, Phoenix reluctantly prescribed three doses of medicine, claiming it would ensure thirty more days of life for the emperor; after that, it would be difficult to extend his life further. She stated that she was powerless to change his fate.
The Waydao Empire was thrown into chaos; under the control of the emperor's younger brother, preparations began for a grand ceremony for the emperor's eventual passing.
One day, while Phoenix was leaving the palace to visit a temple for a vow fulfillment, she seemed to catch a glimpse of Chihuo Yang. She hurriedly inquired and learned that Chihuo Yang was indeed in the Waydao Empire and had introduced a woman to treat her father-in-law.
Phoenix was greatly surprised; could it be that Gao Yuxin was also here? She decided to invite her as well; perhaps she could indeed come up with a solution.
After the Phoenix inquired repeatedly, she learned that Gao Yuxin had been detained by the royal family for over two months.
The Phoenix immediately sought out Gao Yuxin to ask if she could treat the Emperor's illness. Gao Yuxin, feeling frustrated, replied, "Don't come asking me. I'm just a small woman; what am I in the eyes of others? It's pointless to try and help someone who doesn't appreciate it."
The Phoenix understood that Gao Yuxin was feeling wronged and, after several unsuccessful attempts to persuade her, had no choice but to take her leave and return to the palace in a gloomy mood. She couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.
Seeing that the Phoenix was unhappy, the Emperor's brother tried to console her, saying, "Divine Doctor Mo Chou, as long as you can ensure the Emperor lives for another thirty days, we can arrange for his affairs afterward. Although time is tight, it should be enough."
The Phoenix smiled bitterly and said, "I sigh because the Emperor could have been saved. However, due to a series of unfortunate events, someone who could have treated him has wasted two months here. This truly delays important matters. Now I feel powerless to change anything."
The Younger Brother was greatly surprised and asked, "Please tell us quickly, Divine Doctor, who can save the Emperor? How could they have stayed here for two months? Who is so blind and reckless to delay such an important matter?"
The Phoenix smiled sadly and replied, "Gao Yuxin is the person I mentioned before who has better medical skills than I do. She is the one who saved the Elder Patriarch of the Crimson Fire Family from death. Yet you all allowed her to stay in the palace for two months without letting her examine the Emperor's condition; this is truly unacceptable."
"Gao Yuxin? You mean that girl?" The Younger Brother was taken aback. He remembered Gao Yuxin as a very graceful young woman who had been recommended by the foreign affairs elder of the Crimson Fire Family to treat the Emperor. It was due to opposition from various royal relatives that she had been kept confined in the palace. Could she really cure his brother's illness?
If that were true, then his guilt would be immense!
The Younger Brother still asked doubtfully, "Divine Doctor, does that girl really have the ability?"
"She truly has the ability. Ever since I witnessed her skills, I no longer call myself a divine doctor because her medical expertise far surpasses mine. She is the real divine doctor. However, she willingly came to treat the Emperor, yet you all have ignored her and even imprisoned her; now it’s too late to ask for her help. Is this truly Heaven's Will?"
