Chapter 4

"This..."

Hua Tuo hesitated, then realized, saying: "That is indeed the logic! I didn't expect that I was the one being narrow-minded!"

"Young master, are you really willing to support me in opening a medical academy to spread medical knowledge?"

Hua Tuo looked at Su Xuan with a solemn expression.

This was indeed a method that benefited both sides.

Not only could he obtain all the medical books in Su Xuan's hands, but he could also teach a large number of doctors to benefit the world.

Of course, Hua Tuo knew that this would also allow Su Xuan to truly rest easy, without worrying about him spreading those three divine techniques.

He didn't think Su Xuan was being petty.

If it were him, with the lives of his whole family at stake, one could never be too careful.

"Naturally!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively and asked happily: "Does this mean you agree, sir?"

"Yes! I cannot find a reason to refuse!"

Hua Tuo nodded with a smile, then cupped his hands: "In the future, I ask for your care, young master."

"Haha! Sir, please, rise quickly!"

Su Xuan was overjoyed and quickly helped Hua Tuo up: "I am extremely happy to have your assistance, sir! I will certainly not fail your expectations."

"Come! Sir, let us discuss the matters of the medical academy in detail!"

Immediately, Su Xuan pulled Hua Tuo aside to discuss.

After spending more than half an hour, they finalized everything regarding the medical academy.

Su Xuan then handed over the other books he had secretly transcribed from his past-life memories to Hua Tuo and said: "Next, I ask for your care, sir, and that you teach me medical arts with all your heart."

"Of course, I will also prepare the medical academy as quickly as possible."

The Su family had merchant caravans, so there was no shortage of money; setting up a medical academy would be a breeze.

Not only the medical academy, but Su Xuan also prepared to seize the time to organize and train a private army to prepare for the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

And the first batch of doctors from the medical academy could be fully trained as military doctors.

In this way, in future wartime, the casualties of soldiers could be greatly reduced.

"If the young master has this heart, I welcome it!"

Hua Tuo said with a knowing smile.

Given the comprehension Su Xuan showed in martial arts earlier, perhaps he would learn medicine quickly too?

If he could teach a divine doctor student, that would also be a fortunate thing.

At the same time, having established a teacher-student relationship with Su Xuan, Hua Tuo believed they could both be more at ease.

That day, Su Xuan found his parents and told them about Hua Tuo and the academy: "This matter still requires your agreement and support, Father and Mother."

"This is a good thing; naturally, we have no reason to disagree!"

Su Lie and Huang Shi both nodded with smiles.

They didn't expect Su Xuan to be able to persuade Hua Tuo to stay.

In the past, many high-ranking officials and nobles had tried to recruit Hua Tuo, and there were plenty of clans more powerful than the Su family, but no one had ever succeeded.

Their son is truly capable!

Then, Su Lie asked: "I heard from Yu'er and the others that you created three divine techniques from the divine doctor Hua Tuo's Five Animal Frolics this morning?"

"Those three brats, when I asked for the specific content, they actually wouldn't tell me, saying it had to be kept secret and that I should ask you if I wanted to know—truly rascals!"

"Does your father not know the gravity of the situation? Would I leak the information?"

He was so angry he laughed.

But at the same time, he felt a bit of relief.

His own brats still knew how to handle serious matters.

"Hehe!"

Su Xuan laughed: "Father, don't blame them; it was my order. Isn't it a good thing they can do this? After all, it is a matter of great importance!"

Immediately, Su Xuan told his parents about the three divine techniques and explained their importance.

"Hmm!"

Su Lie and Huang Shi nodded solemnly after hearing it: "Xuan'er, you are right to be so cautious!"

Then, the two looked at Su Xuan in wonder: "We never expected that after your major illness, you would have an awakening, and such an outrageous one at that—to possess such comprehension!"

"Not to mention anything else, if the Tendon-Changing and Bone-Forging Technique alone were leaked, our Su family would be doomed."

"You kept Hua Tuo for this reason as well, right?"

"Yes!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively: "Although it's not the only reason, being careful is never wrong."

"It is very good that you can think this way!"

Su Lie nodded with relief; his son has grown up!

He is considering things more and more comprehensively.

"Tell us the real reason you are opening a medical academy? I don't believe you are doing it just to train more doctors and benefit the world."

Su Lie asked.

It wasn't that he doubted his son's kindness.

His son was naturally kind-hearted, but he was definitely not a simple person; there must be other more important reasons.

"Hehe! I knew I couldn't hide it from you, Father!"

Su Xuan laughed, scratching his head, then explained solemnly: "I am opening the medical academy partly to train more doctors and benefit the world, but on the other hand, it is to prepare for the chaotic times ahead!"

"Chaotic times?"

Su Lie and Huang Shi were shocked.

Su Lie immediately frowned and scolded: "You rascal, what are you talking about? Do you know what chaotic times are?"

This rascal really dares to say anything!

"Naturally, I am clear about it!"

Su Xuan nodded.

Showing his cards to his parents was unavoidable.

If he wanted to train a private army or adjust the affairs of the family's merchant guild, he needed his parents' support.

He had to speak.

"Father, do you know about the Taiping Dao?"

Su Xuan asked immediately.

Su Lie frowned: "Why do you ask about this? Naturally, I know! They are just a bunch of swindlers who use talisman water to treat illnesses and save people! You must not fall for their tricks."

He was genuinely worried that Su Xuan was young and didn't know the depth of things, and had been tricked by the Taiping Dao.

"How could I possibly believe them?"

Su Xuan shook his head with a smile: "How could I not know they are swindlers? But the Taiping Dao is not simple!"

"Father, do you know that the Taiping Dao now has hundreds of thousands, or even over a million, followers across the thirteen provinces of the Great Han?"

"What?"

Su Lie was shocked: "A million? No way, right?"

He couldn't help but change color.

A million followers—this Taiping Dao is too good at bewitching people's hearts.

And, what exactly do they want to do after developing so many followers?

Is it really just to treat illnesses and save people?

Su Lie didn't believe it.

"Only more, not less!"

Su Xuan shook his head.

Su Lie frowned: "So, you mean they are preparing to rebel?"
