I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 607: Chapter 606: Just Stay Away from Her

Bei Jiale’s talismanic water was far less effective compared to Beisitian’s, perhaps because she was injured at the time. Even after drinking the talismanic water twice, it merely slowed down Luo Xudong’s pace towards death.

Bei Jiale knew this wouldn’t do, so she explained the situation to Luo Xudong while he was conscious.

”You saved my life, so I’ll save yours. But you see, your injuries are too severe. Even if I weren’t hurt, I couldn’t heal you. I can only suppress your fatal wounds. I can pass on a message for you; just tell me who to find.”

Luo Xudong remembered that Bei Jiale said this back then.

Luo Xudong only managed to say ’Wu Yuekai’ before falling unconscious again. Before losing consciousness, he knew that Bei Jiale was no longer alone; her companions had arrived.

Luo Xudong was placed in a remote village on the border, with a companion left to watch over him, while she rushed to Beijing to relay the message.

Luo Xudong woke up again the previous night and saw Beisitian. Seeing her reassured him, but he wondered whether he was imagining things due to his severe injuries, which was why he reached out to touch her.

”Did Bei Jiale do anything else?” Beisitian asked.

Luo Xudong shook his head, ”Probably not. She was also injured, and talisman making had exhausted most of her energy. Why, is there any issue?”

Beisitian pondered for a moment. If that’s the case, why did Luo Xudong exhibit the repelling charm phenomenon?

”At first, when you drank my talismanic water, it had no effect. You experienced a repelling charm effect against my talismanic water,” Beisitian said.

Beisitian’s identity was no longer a secret between the two, so Luo Xudong naturally knew what the repelling charm phenomenon was.

”When you gave me talismanic water before, did it happen then?” Luo Xudong asked in return.

Beisitian tugged at the corner of her mouth, ”That’s the issue. Previously, you didn’t have the repelling charm phenomenon, but this time you do.”

Even she couldn’t figure this out. The repelling charm phenomenon was supposed to be innate, yet Luo Xudong inexplicably changed his constitution midway. Moreover, this phenomenon targeted only her, and wasn’t present with Wei Zhongyuan’s talismanic water.

After drinking Wei Zhongyuan’s talismanic water, the repelling charm effect gradually weakened and finally disappeared.

This series of events made Beisitian start to doubt what she had learned, as she couldn’t explain it at all.

She was now planning to meet Bei Dewang again once Luo Xudong was better; he surely knew what was going on.

She hoped to learn something from Luo Xudong’s experiences, but everything he described was correct, which only made her more confused.

Does this repelling charm phenomenon have anything to do with Bei Jiale?

Luo Xudong’s body was still very weak, so Beisitian specially created Xuan Talismans for him to drink, allowing him to recover much quicker.

In the morning, several military commanders came to commend Luo Xudong and also inquired about the mission execution.

These matters were to be kept away from outsiders, including Beisitian, so she didn’t know what was discussed between them and Luo Xudong, but after they left, Luo Xudong seemed somewhat downcast.

”What’s wrong?” Beisitian asked upon seeing his expression.

Luo Xudong sighed and said, ”Once I’m better, I want to personally deliver the compensation of my fallen comrades to their families.”

The credit wasn’t his alone; without the squad’s cooperation, completing the mission would’ve been impossible!

Out of the team of eighteen, including him, only five returned. Even though the mission was accomplished, he felt a heavy burden in his heart.

This had been, for Luo Xudong personally, the most unsuccessful mission in a long time.

Beisitian knew he was feeling bad, so she spoke with him for a while.

At noon, Luo Anguo and Luo Xuping arrived. Luo Xuping had never seen his brother so weak. In his mind, Luo Xudong was invincible.

So upon seeing Luo Xudong like this, he was frightened and couldn’t help but cry even though he tried to hold back his tears.

Seeing Luo Xuping like this, Luo Xudong couldn’t help but smile and patted his head, ”Don’t cry, or your sister will scold you when she sees you later.”

Luo Xuping nodded with a pouting face, ”Big Brother, you won’t be in trouble, right?”

”No, I still have to watch you grow up,” Luo Xudong smiled with his handsome face.

It was the most comforting and warm exchange between the two brothers in a long time.

Beisitian wasn’t at the hospital; she went to see the old man, mainly to find Bei Dewang.

So after arriving at the Red Painted Courtyard, Beisitian first went to a secluded part of the courtyard, where Bei Dewang was sitting idly in a chair.

Li Xuejun, worried that Bei Dewang might suddenly act irrationally, sent a nurse to inform the old commander and stayed by Beisitian’s side.

With Li Xuejun present, Beisitian couldn’t ask many questions comfortably. It wasn’t until Wu Yuekai arrived and Li Xuejun left that she began to speak.

”Father, what is going on with my younger sister?” Beisitian asked.

Considering the last time she mentioned Bei Jiale’s name, Bei Dewang had a triggered reaction, she chose a different approach.

Bei Dewang looked at Beisitian with much more relaxed expressions, ”You’ve grown so much.”

Hearing this, Beisitian knew Bei Dewang was indeed much better, but how much better, she couldn’t be sure.

”When I left, you were just twelve,” Bei Dewang said with a hint of guilt in his eyes, ”You’ve suffered a lot. I hoped you would live an ordinary life, but you became a Mystic Doctor after all.”

Beisitian widened her eyes slightly. He indeed knew about Mystic Doctors, or perhaps, he was one!

”You... are one too?”

Bei Dewang sighed deeply, ”If possible, I’d prefer living as an ordinary person.”

Unfortunately, he was destined not to live as an ordinary person, unrelated to whether he was a Mystic Doctor, but due to that damned curse!

Beisitian had already guessed that the Bei Family might be a Xuan Medical Family; the elderly couple she heard about from Ma Sanqiang’s old comrade might be the Bei family’s elders.

”Can you tell me about her?” Beisitian asked again.

But Bei Dewang shook his head, ”I have forgotten.”

Beisitian frowned, ”I have very important matters; I hope you can cooperate.” She truly had little patience left.

Bei Dewang lowered his eyelids, showing a somewhat tired expression on his face, ”I really have forgotten, can’t remember. You should leave.”

Bei Dewang directly issued an eviction order.

Beisitian didn’t believe he forgot; seeing his demeanor, he probably remembered but didn’t want to say!

”Mr. Bei, your second daughter has had contact with a mysterious organization. This organization poses a threat to the girl. Both are your daughters; you wouldn’t want to see them harmed, right?” Wu Yuekai tried to persuade him with familial affection.

But Bei Dewang just waved his hand and turned to walk inside, ”This is my business, don’t meddle with it. Just remember to stay away from her.”
