Chapter 1194 - 378: Seeking Help
What is a doctor?
On the way home, Mo Yan pondered this question repeatedly, with the master’s words echoing incessantly in her ears:
"A doctor’s benevolence is skillful, and their greatest achievements have no desire for profit. To be a doctor, one must not only have a heart filled with benevolence but also possess a character that does not seek fame and fortune! The so-called disregard for fame and fortune does not mean that doctors should expect no reward, but that they should resist the temptation of fame and fortune and refrain from using the Qihuang Technique to harm others."
...
"I took you as my disciple not only because of your talent but also because there are countless talented individuals in this world. I observed that you have a heart of benevolence, and to you, fame and fortune are like passing clouds. That is why I decided to accept you as my disciple. Otherwise, I would rather the Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles disappear than to see the world have one more person who only seeks profit, tarnishing the name of the Du Family lineage..."
In the past, the Du Family was a major family, playing a significant role in the medical field. Yet, as time passed, its numbers dwindled, leaving only Doctor Du as the sole legitimate heir. The reasons for this are tied to an incident a hundred years ago involving a morally corrupt member of the Du Family.
This individual was of the same generation as Doctor Du’s grandfather and was an adopted son whom the family had taken in. He was incredibly talented and mastered the true essence of Du Family’s medical skills. However, his nefarious intentions brought disaster to the Du Family, nearly severing its lineage...
Mo Yan did not know exactly what the adopted son of the Du Family had done but could understand the intent behind her master mentioning this matter.
