It should start working within three days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And stop trying all those bizarre folk remedies in the future. If someone is sick, see a doctor first! How could a child that young possibly endure your reckless meddling?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This was never a serious problem to begin with. Any doctor could have prescribed a dose of medicine and settled it, yet you managed to turn it into this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one hand resting on the pulse of the unconscious little boy, Ma Minnong frowned at the adult standing beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he thought of how Cheng Zhenjiang’s family had run into a similar situation half a month ago, anger rose in him at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were there so many muddleheaded parents in this world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man hurriedly bowed to Divine Physician Ma, his face full of embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My old mother believes in folk prescriptions. She loves her grandson dearly, and I simply couldn’t stop her...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is your own child’s life we’re talking about. You say you couldn’t stop her, so you simply didn’t?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Minnong snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous parent left dejectedly with the child on his back, and the next family stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The displeasure on Ma Minnong’s face instantly turned into gentleness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where does it hurt?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The adult beside the child hurriedly answered for him, “Divine Physician Ma, his stomach hurts right here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did I ask you? I asked the child!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Minnong rolled his eyes helplessly, inwardly wondering yet again why he had chosen to specialize in treating children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After grumbling a little, he still saw the patient with full care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he calmly took the pulse, he took the initiative to chat with the child’s father, a sweaty, portly merchant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It couldn’t have been easy carrying the little fellow up the mountain, could it? Where are you from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Replying to the Divine Physician, my family came from Mingtian Prefecture.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mingtian? That isn’t far.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Minnong rarely left Divine Physician Mountain, and ordinary illnesses among common households did not interest him much. To keep himself from growing drowsy, he liked to ask about nearby rumors while seeing patients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has anything major happened in Mingtian Prefecture recently?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Major? Far more than that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The portly merchant was a talkative man. He immediately nodded with great seriousness and began recounting how the Jinyiwei had raided and wiped out Plum Saber Stockade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Minnong had been feeling a little sleepy, but the moment he heard news this explosive, he was instantly wide awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mei Feng was killed and Plum Saber Stockade was destroyed? Such a thing happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his memory, Mei Feng had never been a good man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite a few of the children who came to Divine Physician Mountain for treatment had come because the adults in their households had been crushed by Plum Saber Stockade’s boat-rental fees, forcing them to help support the family at a very young age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had fallen into the water and nearly drowned, catching a terrible chill, and only recovered after being treated on Divine Physician Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Minnong asked again, “Mei Feng was a Sixth-Rank martial artist. The Jinyiwei actually managed to take him down? And where did the Jinyiwei get a Tiger Tally?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The portly merchant knew quite a bit. His brows danced as he said excitedly, “Naturally, it was that new Thousand-Household Commander Cheng who dealt with that wretch! The Tiger Tally also belonged to that lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Cheng?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The very Lord Cheng Yu who wiped out Sword-Forging Manor and ranks seventh on the Human Ranking!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he heard that title, Ma Minnong remembered everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, he had greatly praised and admired Cheng Yu for rescuing tens of thousands of laborers. He had never expected the man to come to Jiannan Circuit and become a Thousand-Household Commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve never heard of Lord Cheng’s fame, Elder? Then let me tell you...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The portly merchant started chattering again, beginning with how Cheng Yu had forced Gao Song to wipe out his own kin and going all the way to how the martial artists of the Jianghu had unanimously decided to attend the banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Ma Minnong listened, the more astonished he became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He invited every notable figure in the whole of Jiannan Circuit to gather and discuss the future. He truly has courage. But... why wasn’t I invited?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does he look down on doctors? This old man may not fight people, but I am still an Upper Three Ranks martial artist, am I not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Divine Physician Ma grow angry, the portly merchant frowned as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That can’t be right. That invitation was sent out to the entire Jiannan Circuit Jianghu. Some of the most prominent households even had theirs delivered in person. With your prestige, Divine Physician Ma, how could you possibly not have—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Halfway through the sentence, he abruptly shut his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had thought of one possibility. It was not that no invitation had been sent. It was that Divine Physician Ma had never seen it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pan Dahai! When you went down the mountain to buy medicine, didn’t you see an invitation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plump little medicine apprentice, who was in the middle of wrapping medicinal herbs, froze for a moment and scratched his head as he searched his memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An invitation? Now that you mention it, I think there really was one. Someone personally brought it up the mountain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And you didn’t tell your master?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Ma Minnong heard the reason, his teeth itched with anger at his disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But, Master, don’t you never leave the mountain? I thought it would be useless to give it to you, so I put it away... Ah! Master, please don’t hit me! I’ll go get it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This old man stays on the mountain to treat patients!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gripping a rattan switch in his hand, Ma Minnong watched his disciple scamper off to fetch it, so angry his sides hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That little brat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Dahai had some martial skill himself. Wind sprang beneath his feet, and he returned very quickly with the item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Minnong had just taken the finely made invitation and was about to open it when the portly merchant suddenly shouted, “Divine Physician Ma, don’t!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was called an invitation, yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in truth, every line of it was full of barbs. He did not want the old divine physician to be angered by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet no sooner had the words left his mouth than Ma Minnong had already begun reading the contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the portly merchant’s surprise, Divine Physician Ma not only failed to get angry after reading the invitation, he even broke into a smile and stroked his beard cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This junior understands propriety so well. He is absolutely nothing like the brutal boor people slander him as.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Minnong nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the letter, Cheng Yu had written from the perspective of a junior, doing his utmost to express his respect for Divine Physician Ma’s selfless treatment of patients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sincerely invited him to Jiannan City and promised to receive him with the utmost courtesy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wording was not obsequious, yet it fully showed just how deeply Cheng Yu respected Divine Physician Ma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the invitation, Ma Minnong looked positively radiant, smiling again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others called Cheng Yu savage, violent, and lawless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ma Minnong felt that Cheng Yu killed for just cause and had saved countless lives. He was a true hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in that invitation, the eccentric Divine Physician Ma, whom the people of the Jianghu found strange, was, in Cheng Yu’s eyes, a thousand times better than the sanctimonious hypocrites who chased empty fame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them were decades apart in age and had never even met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet somehow, they had turned out to be such kindred spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Dahai stood at the side with his mouth hanging open. How long had it been since his master had been this happy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, what is going on with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In a couple of days, I will be going out. During that time, you will handle the consultations!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop gawking. I’ll test you in a moment. If you fail, you won’t sleep for the next two days! You’re not even a fraction as promising as Thousand-Household Commander Cheng was in his youth!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Dahai widened his eyes, on the verge of tears. What had gotten into his master?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On what should have been an ordinary day, Jiannan City was utterly transformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many experts who were rarely ever seen had appeared within the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All because of one great event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousand-Household Commander Cheng of the Jinyiwei had invited the notable figures of all Jiannan Circuit to discuss the future together!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yu sat in the courtyard of the circuit yamen, nodding to each person who entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Song bustled about at the side, receiving guests. Every time he looked at Cheng Yu, he shivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was truly afraid now. He no longer even had the courage to hate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful local families of Jiannan City obediently took their seats, waiting for the martial artists from every region to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, Gao Song’s fawning voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“L-Lord Cheng, they have arrived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Jianghu figures from every prefecture of Jiannan Circuit have arrived!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than a hundred Jianghu martial artists appeared, resentment plain on their faces, and walked in under the lead of Zuo Hong and Tie Ke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heroes from every quarter had gathered, and their combined presence was truly imposing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their heads held high, they cupped their fists to Cheng Yu and then took their seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they sat down, they looked at the many places that were still empty and sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve practically all arrived already. Why did he set out so many seats? Can he not even count?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1659,"2026-06-03T04:54:42.394Z","2026-06-03T04:54:48.224Z",1,"novelbin.me","22c4059f1084bc4947b78725e390a32a6923d0d2c0d7c3ddc737c0653889bc90","you-drove-me-out-with-your-hypocrisy-and-now-cry-chapter-42","you-drove-me-out-with-your-hypocrisy-and-now-cry-chapter-41",126,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-drove-me-out-with-your-hypocrisy-and-now-cry-cover.jpg"]
