Chapter 7

"Since the Young Master has this heart, I am naturally welcoming!"

Hua Tuo smiled knowingly upon hearing this.

With the comprehension Su Xuan showed in learning martial arts, perhaps he would also be fast at learning medicine?

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 that both of them could be more at ease.

That day, Su Xuan found his parents and told them about Hua Tuo and the school: "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 smiled and nodded.

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; there were plenty of noble families more powerful than their 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 cultivation methods from the Divine Doctor Hua Tuo's Five-Animal Frolics this morning?"

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

"Does your father not know the importance of things and would leak the information?"

He was also amused to the point of laughter.

But at the same time, he was somewhat gratified.

His few rascals still knew the importance of things.

"Hehe!"

Su Xuan smiled upon hearing this: "Father, don't blame them. It was my order. Isn't it a good thing that they can do this? After all, it's a matter of great importance!"

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

"Hmm!"

After listening, Su Lie and Huang Shi both nodded solemnly: "Xuan'er, you are right to be so cautious!"

Then, the two looked at Su Xuan in amazement: "We didn't expect that after your serious illness, Xuan'er, you would have an awakening, and it would be so outrageous that you would possess such comprehension!"

"Not to mention anything else, just the Tendon-Tempering and Bone-Forging Technique alone—if it were leaked, our Su family would face eternal damnation."

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

"Hmm!"

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

"It's good that you can think this way!"

Su Lie nodded in gratification. His son has grown up!

He is considering things more and more comprehensively.

"Tell me the real reason for opening the medical school? I don't believe you are really doing it just to train more physicians and benefit the world."

Su Lie pursued the question.

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 smiled, scratching the back of his head, and then explained with a solemn expression: "I am establishing the medical school on one hand to train more physicians and benefit the world, and on the other hand, to prepare for the future chaotic times!"

"Chaotic times?"

Su Lie and Huang Shi were startled upon hearing this.

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 something he had to do.

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

He couldn't avoid it.

"Does Father know about the Taiping Dao?"

Su Xuan immediately asked.

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

He was truly 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!"

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

"What?"

Su Lie was shocked upon hearing this: "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, having developed so many followers, what exactly do they want to do?

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?"
