Chapter 260

"Stay in the Qin Guo?"

Nianduan was stunned, not expecting Su Xuan to say such a thing.

"That's right." Su Xuan explained, "This exchange was not only very beneficial to Mr. Nianduan, but I also gained a lot. It can be seen that exchanges can promote the progress of medical skills."

"So, you want me to stay in the Qin Guo and exchange medical skills with you?" Nianduan asked Su Xuan.

"Not at all!" Su Xuan shook his head and said, "What I want to say is that although Mr. Nianduan is the top physician in the world today, with your own strength, even with the help of your disciple, you cannot save many people."

Mentioning Nianduan, Su Xuan could not help but think of Nianduan's ending in the original work. It seemed that after continuous diagnosis and treatment of patients, although the patients were cured, she herself fell ill, and finally, she died of a hidden ailment.

A physician who cannot heal themselves can be considered a tragedy.

"What do you want to say?"

Nianduan was increasingly unable to understand what Su Xuan wanted to say.

Duanmu Rong also did not understand this sentence of Su Xuan's. Before Su Xuan could answer, she also spoke, "Even if we cannot save many people, as physicians, we save one person for every one we can."

"This is the duty of us physicians!"

Su Xuan glanced at Duanmu Rong, who said this, and then looked at Nianduan, responding, "I once heard a saying: 'It is better to retreat and weave a net than to envy the fish at the edge of the abyss. It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.' Mr. Nianduan's medical skills are indeed exquisite and can be called the best in the world, however... you are the only physician, but the number of patients is constantly increasing. Instead of blindly treating illnesses, it is better to find a way to cultivate more physicians."

"If you alone can treat ten patients at the same time, when there are one hundred physicians like you, that is one thousand people who can be treated at the same time."

Nianduan also understood Su Xuan's meaning, "You want me to stay in the Qin Guo and cultivate more physicians?"

Su Xuan nodded and said, "That's right. I'm not sure about other countries, but if Mr. Nianduan is willing to stay in the Qin Guo, I can persuade the Qin Wang to build an academy specifically for teaching physicians for Mr. Nianduan, and many medicinal herbs can be continuously supplied to you."

"As long as it is a proposal conducive to the progress of medicine, I can also persuade the Qin Wang to agree to it!"

Nianduan and Duanmu Rong were stunned after hearing Su Xuan's words.

After coming back to her senses, Nianduan said to Su Xuan in a strange tone, "The Qin Wang really values Lord Xuantian!"

Nianduan had guessed that the Yin-Yang School seemed to be used by the Qin Guo, but she had not expected that Su Xuan would have such great influence in front of the Qin Wang. She did not think Su Xuan was bragging.

"I can be considered to have some small influence!" Su Xuan responded with a smile and asked, "What does Mr. Nianduan think of my proposal?"

"Or does Mr. Nianduan have sectarian prejudices and feel that medical skills cannot be passed on to outsiders?"

Nianduan shook her head and said, "That's not the case. If more patients can be saved, passing on medical skills is not a big deal, but... the path of medicine is not as simple as imagined. Rong'er has followed me for many years and has only barely entered the door."

Hearing her master arrange her like this, saying that her medical skills were only barely entering the door, Duanmu Rong pouted her little mouth, somewhat unhappy.

Then, she could not help but look at Su Xuan. Although her master said such things, the person in front of her was eloquent. Could he really persuade her master to let her master stay in the Qin Guo and be used by the Qin Wang, Ying Zheng?

When that time came, she would have to stay in the Qin Guo, which she hated.

This would not be good.

Duanmu Rong hurriedly said to Nianduan in a low voice, "Master, we have stayed in the Qin Guo for long enough. Shall we go back to Jinghu?"

Nianduan heard the meaning in Duanmu Rong's words but ignored it. She continued to say to Su Xuan, "Lord Xuantian's suggestion is very good, but please allow me to refuse! Moreover, I do not want to have any involvement with the Qin Wang."

She had opinions about the Mohist School being too deeply involved with the Crown Prince of the State of Yan, Yan Dan, so it was obviously impossible for her to take the initiative to join the Qin Wang's command.

In her view, whether it was healing the sick and saving lives or helping the lower-class people, it really should not be involved with these upper-class people. Today, the world is in constant dispute. Once involved with these people, one will be forced to be drawn into the disputes and forced to step onto the chariot to which these people belong.

Especially the Mohist School, which is so deeply involved with Yan Dan.

Now, the Qin Guo has destroyed the State of Han. If one day, it points its military edge at the State of Yan, will the Mohist School help Yan Dan or not?

If it helps Yan Dan, does it conflict with the Mohist School's philosophy of non-aggression? If it does not help, abandoning past friendship is also difficult to say is universal love for life.

After hearing her master's reply, Duanmu Rong could not help but breathe a sigh of relief in secret.

Sure enough, her master still knew how to distinguish priorities.

After hearing Nianduan's reply, no disappointment could be seen on Su Xuan's face. He said again, "Since Mr. Nianduan is unwilling to serve the Qin Wang and does not want to have any involvement with the Qin Wang, I wonder if Mr. Nianduan is interested in joining my Yin-Yang School?"

The Medical School is not a Jianghu sect in the ordinary sense; it refers to physicians who understand medical skills.

So it is possible to join other sects. Just like Duanmu Rong in the original work, she joined the Mohist School and even became one of the leaders of the Mohist School.

Nianduan did not expect that Su Xuan had not given up and wanted to recruit her, letting her stay in the Qin Guo.

Is there any difference between joining the Yin-Yang School and serving the Qin Wang directly?

In Nianduan's view, there is none.

She was about to refuse again immediately.

Su Xuan spoke first, directly interrupting Nianduan's words, "Mr. Nianduan, there is no need to rush to refuse. Even if you really want to refuse, how about waiting until I finish speaking?"

Nianduan was an honest person. After hearing Su Xuan's words, she decisively chose to shut up.
