Chapter 240 - 127: Hospital! The Wondrous Use of Divine Will True Qi

Chapter 240: Chapter 127: Hospital! The Wondrous Use of Divine Will True Qi

A middle-aged man, pale-faced and with dry lips, had been lying weakly on his sickbed. He suddenly sat up, his eyes wide.

"Lord... Lord Lu?"

A young, pregnant woman, who had been pale and listless, also perked up with energy.

She grabbed her husband’s hand, exclaiming excitedly, "Honey! Did you see that? It’s Lord Lu!"

Her husband, holding their newborn child, had a blissful smile on his face. "I saw! I saw!"

He lifted the baby and whispered in the direction of the figure, "Look, son. That’s Lord Lu. When you grow up, you must be a person of great integrity, just like him."

The doctors were even more dumbfounded. ’What am I seeing? Lord Lu himself actually came here?’

The scene was like a belief you held in your heart, something you thought unreachable, suddenly appearing before you in the flesh.

Lu Yun put on no airs, giving a slight nod to everyone he passed.

Walking ahead, Gu Yuexi felt a happiness she had never experienced before, the kind that made her feel as light as air.

She remembered how, a few months ago, her father was always talking about Lord Lu, calling him the "Martial Champion Scholar of the Yin Dynasty," a "true hero," and "a man of immense stature."

Gu Yuexi had heard this but hadn’t paid it any mind. ’The Martial Champion Scholar of the Yin Dynasty? Isn’t that ancient history?’

’Besides, in this dog-eat-dog world, where are the heroes? There are only unscrupulous tyrants and villains who oppress the weak!’

But now? She finally understood. Lord Lu was truly the great savior of this land.

The changes in Yun Port City during this time could only be described as earth-shattering.

He cracked down on the gangsters who preyed on the people. The Weiyuan Thirteen Eagles, the Ba Fuxi Bang, and other gangs that had run rampant for over a decade crumbled overnight. Their bosses, who had once flaunted their power, were now found dead in the streets.

At the same time, he expelled the foreigners and reclaimed the concessions, forcing those who had lorded over the locals for decades to tuck their tails and flee.

Finally, he established schools, allowing children from poor families to get an education. Orphans who had once roamed the streets now had a chance to change their fate.

It was said he also dealt with the useless good-for-nothings among the officials, arresting those who should be arrested and executing those who should be executed.

The guards who extorted people and the officials who preyed on the common folk were all purged.

This series of events was like watching a legendary hero from a myth.

Therefore, in the eyes of Gu Yuexi and most people in Yun Port City, Lu Yun was a being of light.

Arriving outside the room for critically ill patients, Gu Yuexi quickly put on a simple gown.

As she tied the straps behind her back, she looked at Lu Yun, about to say, "Lord Lu, let me help you put one on."

But Lu Yun waved his hand before she could. "Don’t worry. I have True Qi protecting my body. I’m immune to all poisons and impervious to all harm. I won’t affect the people inside."

Hearing this, Gu Yuexi and the doctor standing guard outside the door were both stunned.

’True Qi protecting his body? Immune to all poisons? Impervious to all harm? What magnificent-sounding words!’

There were indeed Martial Artists in this world, but for ordinary people like them, this was the first time they had ever heard such a claim.

However, Gu Yuexi and the doctor quickly snapped back to their senses. Given Lord Lu’s current image in the hearts of everyone in Yun Port City...

...even if he claimed the sun rose from the west, no one would question it. Of course, no one was in a position to question him.

Gu Yuexi hurriedly pushed the door open and stepped aside. "Lord Lu, please, come in."

Inside was a large room, at least sixty square meters, with a dozen or so sickbeds arranged in neat rows.

On each bed lay a bandaged soldier. Some had lost a hand, some a foot, some an eye.

In short, explosives don’t discriminate. They were incredibly lucky just to be alive.

These soldiers had been lying there listlessly, having lost all passion for life.

After all, to suddenly lose a limb or an eye would make even a Saint feel hopeless.

But the moment the door opened and Lu Yun walked in, the soldiers’ eyes lit up instantly. Every single one of them struggled to sit up.

"Lord Lu!"

"Lord Lu is here!"

Lu Yun looked at them and nodded slightly. "You’ve all worked hard tonight."

The soldiers quickly shook their heads. "It was nothing! Lord Lu, this is what we’re supposed to do!"

"Protecting Yun Port City and Da Xin Publishing House is our duty!"

Lu Yun looked at the ghastly wounds on these young men and sighed softly.

"Rest assured, everyone. The Lu Family will take full responsibility."

He would certainly cover all their medical expenses and, afterward, give them a large sum of money to secure their futures.

Hearing this, the soldiers grew flustered. "Lord Lu, we can’t accept your... This is our duty. You already pay us a salary..."

Lu Yun raised a hand, silencing them. "Enough. For now, just rest."

With that, he turned and walked out the door.

Leaving the critical ward, Gu Yuexi led Lu Yun to the operating room of the last patient, a woman. The door was shut tight; the rescue effort was still underway inside.

About half an hour later, the operating room door finally opened.

A pale Gu Chuanjian walked out first. Though only in his fifties, his hair was already white—a sign of being overworked.

For so many years, he had almost never had a peaceful night’s sleep. He was either in the operating room or on his way to one.
