Chapter 102: I Want to Report Myself

"My Lord, I have brought this brat here; deal with him however you see fit!"

Just as He Chen had expected, Old Master Du brought the disheveled Du Wenyao over, and throughout the entire process, Du Wenyao remained completely bewildered.

He had only been apprenticed for three years, and upon returning, even his mother, who doted on him most, had laid hands on him. His family, who had originally cherished him, had actually subjected him to a "mixed-martial-arts" beating. Am I not your only son? I never saw his parents have a "spare" child.

The entire Sanshui County seemed to no longer be the Sanshui County he recognized at all!

At this moment, Shen Yu was taking the pulse of an elderly man, saying nonchalantly, "Galloping through the streets and nearly hurting someone is already wrong; how dare you try to run away after being caught? Old Master Du, you should know this official's rules!"

"My Lord!" Upon hearing this, Old Master Du's expression shifted slightly, and he hurriedly explained, "My dog of a son has been away apprenticing for over three years and only returned today. He doesn't understand many of the rules in Sanshui County, so I ask that you please be lenient, My Lord!"

"Um, My Lord, could you please show some face?" At this time, Du Wenyao, standing to the side, also realized that his father truly dared not show the slightest disrespect before this County Magistrate. Since when had the County Magistrate of Sanshui County become so tough?

"My Lord, my sect elders and senior brothers and sisters will be arriving later. I've already told them that my reputation carries weight in Sanshui County!"

"You brat, you dare to say anything that comes to mind!"

"No matter, young people are full of vigor; that is understandable!" Waving his hand, Shen Yu asked casually, "Then, which sect or faction are you from?"

"Big Brother, you don't look more than a few years older than me!" Although he grumbled inwardly, Du Wenyao still answered honestly, "Wuya Sword Sect!"

"Wuya Sword Sect? That's a major sect! What are your sect elders doing coming to Sanshui County?"

Shen Yu had heard of the Wuya Sword Sect; it was a top-tier major sect in the Nanhua Domain with countless experts within its ranks. However, the Wuya Sword Sect was thousands of miles away from Sanshui County. For such a sect to send people to Sanshui County, Shen Yu could not help but take it seriously.

"I don't know the specifics too well. I seem to have heard my master say it was to pursue someone. I only heard that this person stole something very important from our Wuya Sword Sect. He didn't say the specifics, and we didn't dare to ask."

"During this time, my master and two martial uncles have already led us in a forced march of thousands of miles. News came that this person entered Sanshui County, and as it happens, my home is in Sanshui County. So I rushed back ahead of time on horseback, thinking I would make some arrangements in advance!"

"Is that so?" Narrowing his eyes slightly, for the Wuya Sword Sect to mobilize so many experts, it likely wasn't a small matter. He hoped such a major sect wouldn't have any bad conduct; otherwise, his sword would be stained with blood!

"Alright, I understand. This time, it can be considered a case with extenuating circumstances!"

"Then, My Lord, does that mean there is no need for punishment?"

"In your dreams!" Glancing at the other party, Shen Yu then said, "Since there are extenuating circumstances, the punishment won't be doubled. Go!"

"What are you still standing there for? Let's go!" He Chen and the others, who had been waiting for a long time, walked up and grabbed Du Wenyao, preparing to leave. This was not what he had expected at all.

"Dad, you can't pit your son like this! Didn't you say it would be fine?"

"Son, you're wrong. It's that you can't pit your father like this! Do you know who in Sanshui County must never be provoked?"

"Who? The three major sects? Or the Hu Family? Rest assured, these people are nothing in front of my Wuya Sword Sect!"

"None of them; it's the County Magistrate!" Looking at his son, Old Master Du wore an expression of disappointment, not knowing where he pulled a small booklet from and handed it over. "Son, take this and study it well in the future, otherwise don't come back!"

"Sanshui County Public Security Regulations! This thing actually exists?"

After sending Du Wenyao away, Shen Yu pondered the matter of the Wuya Sword Sect while not remaining idle. After a day of free clinics, he was quite exhausted. Seeing that the time was about right, Shen Yu prepared to pack up his stall.

"Divine Doctor, wait!" Just at this moment, a woman of about fifty years old ran out from somewhere and hurriedly blocked Shen Yu's path.

"Divine Doctor, could you spare a small moment to take a look for me? I beg you, Divine Doctor!"

"Alright!" Seeing how anxious this woman was, and since it wouldn't take much time anyway, Shen Yu then said, "Ma'am, please extend your hand!"

"Oh, okay!" Hearing Shen Yu's words, the woman opposite hurriedly rolled up her sleeve, revealing a thin, fair arm underneath. This caught Shen Yu quite by surprise; this woman was well-maintained.

However, he always felt that the woman before him was a bit strange, so he couldn't help but look twice. Yet, when Shen Yu stared at her, the other party actually rolled her eyes at him.

Ma'am, you should look at how old you are before you learn to flirt with people.

With his hand on the other party's pulse, Shen Yu frowned slightly. "An expert of the Acquired Realm? Your internal injuries have already damaged your lungs and organs, and you have long failed to recuperate. Old wounds have not healed, and new ones have been added recently. Ma'am, your injuries are quite severe!"

Shen Yu emphasized the word "Ma'am" heavily. As soon as he touched her pulse, he roughly judged that the other party was definitely not some middle-aged woman, but rather a girl of seventeen or eighteen, at most no more than twenty years old.

"This Ma'am, I'm afraid you haven't even reached twenty years of age this year, have you?"

"Divine Doctor, I was forced into this, please forgive me!" Seeing that she had been seen through at a single glance, the other party no longer hid it, but said anxiously, "I ask that the Divine Doctor help me take a look and see if you can immediately suppress my injuries. *Cough, cough! *"

"Your injuries are indeed very serious, but to me, it is not a difficult matter; the main thing is that you must recuperate properly. Also, it seems there is a living creature lurking near your heart. Is it a Gu?"

"You!" Having her greatest secret called out in one breath, the young girl's expression changed violently, and she almost moved to attack directly.

But then she realized that this was Sanshui County, and the other party was not the person hunting her. The fact that the other party could perceive everything just by taking a pulse meant this medical skill was truly worthy of the title of Divine Doctor.

"Divine Doctor, my apologies! Divine Doctor, you only need to help me suppress the injuries in my body; I have important matters to attend to later!"

"What you need most right now is recuperation; otherwise, your injuries won't heal anytime soon. If you continue to drag this out, it may even endanger your life! What is so important that you would even disregard your own life?"

"Divine Doctor, to tell you the truth. I am going to the County Government Office later to find your County Magistrate. I am going to report a crime!"

"Find the County Magistrate? Wait a moment!" With a slight lift of his brow, Shen Yu turned to the side and opened the wooden box beside him, revealing the official robes inside. He then draped the official robes over his body, put on the hat, and tidied himself up slightly.

"Alright, young lady, tell this official whatever is the matter. This official is the County Magistrate of Sanshui County!"

"You, you are the County Magistrate of Sanshui County, Shen Yu?" Seeing this "Divine Doctor" transform as if by magic into the official robes of a County Magistrate, she was greatly surprised.

A County Magistrate doesn't stay in the County Government Office, but instead comes out to set up a stall for free clinics, and even managed to get the title of Divine Doctor. Is this County Magistrate of Sanshui County reliable or not?

"What, I don't look like one?" With a light smile, Shen Yu said indifferently, "Since you came for medical treatment, didn't you inquire beforehand about who was running the stall?"

"Alright, these things are not important. Speak, who are you reporting? This official will certainly handle it impartially!"

"My Lord!" The other party's ability to adapt was clearly very strong; she quickly gathered all her expressions and then said respectfully, "My Lord, I want to report myself!"

"What the hell? Report yourself? Young lady, why are you so desperate? No, are you sure you want to report yourself?"

"Yes!" Nodding, the other party said very firmly, "I want to report myself!"

"Why?"

"Because, I want to live!"
