The outer disciples had waited so long that frustration simmered within him, yet he dared not express it. Instead, he cautiously said, “Dr. Wen recommended a mentor to Elder Yu, who asked all the outer sect mentors to gather and discuss the matter.”
When Mei Shuhai heard this, he immediately said impatiently, “What is the Wen Family doing? Aren’t there enough outer sect mentors already?”
The outer disciple smiled and said, “I’ve heard that the doctor Dr. Wen recommended is the doctor who recently helped Mrs. Bai give birth, ensuring both mother and child are safe. Doctor Wen holds great admiration for Dr. Xi’s medical skills…”
Upon hearing this, Mei Shuhai’s heart skipped a beat, and his expression darkened noticeably.
He set the tea bowl down and softly stated, “Let’s go. Lead me to the meeting hall.”
By the time Mei Shuhai arrived, everyone in the meeting hall had been waiting for half an hour, their frustration bubbling beneath the surface, yet none dared to show it. After all, Mei Shuhai’s status was far above theirs.
Elder Yu cleared his throat as he surveyed the assembled crowd and began, “Now that everyone is here, let me explain. Dr. Wen strongly recommended a candidate for an outer sect mentor yesterday. This candidate is rather unique, and I’m uncertain whether to approve this choice, so I’d like to hear your thoughts.”
Several mentors had heard about this candidate before arriving, and they exchanged glances with Dr. Wen that were filled with a mix of complexity and respect.
But most people asked about it curiously.
Dr. Wen smiled and explained. “I’m sure everyone remembers when I diagnosed Mrs. Bai and ultimately revealed that she was carrying a stillborn child.”
The moment Dr. Wen finished his sentence, Mei Shuhai spoke up loudly before the others could chime in. “Dr Wen, we all understand that your diagnosis was ultimately for Mrs. Bai’s benefit, and that’s why you declared it a stillborn. I’m confident that if you explain this to the Bai Family, they will surely understand.”
Upon hearing this, Dr. Wen gave Mei Shuhai a meaningful glance and replied calmly, “Rest assured, Dr. Mei. I take full responsibility for my actions. If the Bai Family chooses to pursue this matter, I will bear the consequences alone.”
Mei Shuhai let out a long sigh of relief, but he was filled with a mix of shame and anger inside his heart.
In fact, no one knew that it was Mei Shuhai who was the first to diagnose that the fetus in Mrs. Bai’s belly was stillborn.
At that time, the Bai couple had come to seek out Dr. Wen. Thinking that associating with the powerful Bai Family could benefit him, Mei Shuhai took the initiative to offer his services. However, when he delivered the devastating diagnosis of a stillborn child, Mrs. Bai erupted in anger.
Mei Shuhai was so frightened that he quickly threw the hot potato to Dr. Wen and told him that if he wanted Mrs. Bai to survive, he should abort the child as soon as possible.
Initially, Dr. Wen believed there was still a glimmer of hope for the child. However, after hearing Mei Shuhai’s words, he realized that delivering the baby could endanger Mrs. Bai’s life. Consequently, he changed his diagnosis to recommend an abortion.
Later, when he heard that Mrs. Bai had given birth safely, Mei Shuhai was almost scared out of his wits. The rumors circulating in Qingyun Realm that Dr. Wen was a quack doctor made him even more frightened, fearing that his reputation would also be ruined.
Days passed, and it wasn’t until Mei Shuhai noticed that Dr. Wen never refuted the rumors that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Dr. Wen went on, “Today, I’d like to recommend Dr. Xi Yue as a mentor. She’s the one who safely brought Mrs. Bai’s child into the world”
As he spoke, he briefly introduced the concepts of surgery he had learned from Xi Yue.
