With Elder Yun’s return and his declaration of full recovery, the atmosphere in the capital grew peculiar.
To prove his health, Elder Yun underwent a comprehensive medical examination. The results shocked the entire capital.
It was an open secret among the high-ranking officials that eleven fragments of shrapnel remained in Elder Yun’s body, impossible to remove with current medical technology. While the general public was unaware, many leaders knew this fact. They admired Elder Yun’s endurance but worried deeply about his health. Elder Yun was a man of rigid integrity; to many, he was a spiritual pillar. Those with a sense of justice hoped fervently for his well-being. Many skilled doctors in the capital had studied how to operate without causing further damage, but no effective plan had been found. Now, it was unnecessary. Who could have imagined that the man who went on a mission returned with his body fully healed? The X-ray images clearly showed that all eleven shrapnel fragments had been removed, and twenty-one hidden injuries had also been cured.
"Elder Yun, which divine doctor treated you?" Luo Tao, Elder Yun’s personal physician, had been responsible for maintaining his health. He had taken leave due to family matters and did not accompany Elder Yun, as the mission was secret and carrying a doctor would have been impractical. He never expected that in just twenty days, Elder Yun’s body would recover so completely. The data suggested his health had returned to the level of his forties.
Elder Yun smiled. "Indeed, a divine doctor. A lucky divine doctor. His methods are profound and unfathomable." He spoke as if introducing a healer, yet revealed nothing.
"Who is it? Is he in the capital?" Luo Tao looked curious, his face showing admiration for the healer.
Elder Yun chuckled. "Little Luo, stop asking. I cannot tell you. I promised not to." He patted Luo Tao’s shoulder. "It is a matter of promise. I agreed to keep it secret, so do not ask further."
Luo Tao nodded in understanding, though curiosity remained in his eyes. "Such quirks are common among divine doctors." He believed this healer must have eccentricities too. "Still, such skill is admirable. I truly wish to meet him and learn from him."
Elder Yun glanced at Luo Tao. "Do not be too curious. His art is not something you can learn." He had heard descriptions of the human body formation and remained confused. While military strategists often arranged battle formations, the concept of formations within the human body was entirely unknown to him, highlighting its mystery.
"Elder Yun, if there is a chance, please let me meet this divine doctor," Luo Tao said with a smile. "I would like to learn from him."
Elder Yun smiled lightly. "If there is a chance, I will introduce you." He then asked, "Has everything been quiet at home during this time?"
"Yes. Madam’s health is good. The household is peaceful. Nothing happened," Luo Tao answered seriously.
