Chapter 675: Chapter 210 A Good Person Deserves it! [Four more chapters for the Alliance Master in Winter on the 7th] Chapter 675: Chapter 210 A Good Person Deserves it! [Four more chapters for the Alliance Master in Winter on the 7th] Finally, he slowly paced, recalling and imitating his earlier frail appearance. After repeatedly confirming that there were no flaws in his entire body, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

“I can’t because of me alone, add so much trouble for my benefactor!”

Early in the morning.

The master and his disciples get up one after another, pooling together the intelligence they have.

“Did you find anything?”

“The situation is unclear, it’s hard to determine who informed the Divine Doctor about our situation.”

“I think I know who it might be.”

Zhao Sihai sighed deeply: “We should leave now, to get away from this place of dispute.”

Under the watch of virtually no one in the city, the eldest disciple carried his master downstairs. Zhao Sihai and his party quietly checked out, hired a carriage, spread thick quilts on it, all just as before, not revealing a single flaw.

The disciples’ faces were still full of sorrow, with no hint of happiness – this indeed wasn’t too difficult.

Because the eldest disciple had beaten each of his younger brothers fiercely, of course, their faces weren’t looking good…

Could it be that they could let the youngsters, almost about to split their mouth grinning, give away the charade…

“Let’s go!”

The carriage wheels rumbled on, braving the wind and the snow, and unnoticed, they left the city.

Wu Tiejun was sitting in his tent awaiting the confirmation of his intelligence.

“Zhao Sihai left?”

Upon receiving this news, Wu Tiejun couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Yesterday, he had helped you send a message and today you are leaving?

Isn’t this a missed opportunity?

Wu Tiejun immediately rose to his feet.

“I will see him off a bit.”

“So, will I.”

Fei Xinyu also said.

The two of them rode their horses out of the city.

Wu Tiejun genuinely felt that it was a pity that such a respectful old man, who had saved the lives of tens of millions of citizens along the borders of three countries, should just die like this.

Even if he left now, forsaking the hope that was within easy reach.

However, he felt obliged to give him some of the Little Black pills from his pocket, which no one would object to. This definitely wasn’t over the top.

Fei Xinyu held the same thoughts.

The two of them spurred their horses on through the snow.

In the early morning…the wind and snow outside the city were even worse. A succession of carriages was struggling to move forward.

“After a few more tens of miles, we can dump the carriage and fly straight back. Save ourselves this much effort.”

The disciples encouraged each other.

This kind of talk, before the master’s recovery, wouldn’t have been dared, lest it would break the master’s heart, but now it was fine.

In the carriage, Zhao Sihai lay leisurely, looking at the snowy landscape outside and hearing his disciples’ sarcastic comments, he couldn’t help but smile. “Keep up with the act, let’s continue to pretend for a while so as not to cause trouble for the Divine Doctor. The only thing we can do for the Divine Doctor right now is this.”

“Yes.”

“After the master comes back, it’s best to rest for a while, keep the doors closed, and refuse visitors. Then, you can walk about.”

“Or you could use the excuse that the master has broken through the world, focused on transcendence, and made a breakthrough in cultivation, not only escaping death, but also fully recovering. Full restitution of the old!”

“Good, good, that’s it!”

“Even though the master’s basic cultivation may be a half-step behind Nine Colors, when it comes to his mental cultivation, no one in the world can match it. The reversal of life and death is easy, it is totally reasonable to escape death!”

Everyone’s enthusiasm was high, and their mood was increasingly joyful. They kept tossing out ideas, regardless of whether they were boasting or embellishing, but they made it sound very plausible, as if it was real!.

Even Zhao Sihai had to smile.

The atmosphere was filled with joy.

In fact, Zhao Sihai himself was thinking about how to act during this period, wondering how he would explain his sudden recovery of injuries, and even full recovery of his cultivation…

It was the first time in many years that he felt this good, taking time to think about so many things…

Amid his waves of emotion, he couldn’t help but think about his family, disciples from the past. How happy they would be if they knew he was now recovered?

“You have waited for me underground all these years, probably already impatient. But I have recovered now…”

Zhao Sihai looked at the vast snow, and sighed deeply: “…Won’t you feel that you were short-changed then… Won’t you feel that it is unfair? No, right? I think…you should be happy for me…”

“Our actions back then were righteous, and we sacrificed our lives to protect those people. Now, they are all living and working happily, their lives improving a lot from before.”

“Allow me…to observe a little longer for you, to live a bit more for you. So when the time comes for me to go underground, I can talk to you about…the changes over the years…”

“Every year’s change, I remember it, writing it all in my notebook … rest assured, not a single detail will be missed!”

Through the constantly wind-whipped curtain of the carriage, he stared outside, consumed by a swell of emotions, a turmoil of feelings.

Since yesterday, his mood had yet to calm down.

Suddenly, the frantic sound of horse hooves could be heard. Someone was actually pursuing them.

Zhao Sihai was taken aback. He murmured, “How is this possible? With this kind of weather, we didn’t alarm anyone. Yet, someone is actually following us…”

Overtaken by a feeling of apprehension, he ordered in a deep voice, “Stop, wait.”

The carriage halted.

They were already two hundred miles away from Yuezhou City.

Two riders were galloping ahead, followed by dozens of guards.

The visitors turned out to be Wu Tiejun and Fei Xinyu.

As they rode up to the carriage and dismounted, they peered through the carriage window. Seeing Zhao Sihai lift his head, his once formidable features now diminished, yet his complexion not too bad, Wu Tiejun heaved a sigh of relief, gently saying, “Old Zhao, why did you leave in such a hurry? If Yuezhou truly harbors a divine physician, wouldn’t it be better to wait a few more days, in hope of a chance meeting?”

At this point, Wu Tiejun had practically told Zhao Sihai indirectly that he knew the divine physician and would try to find a way to help him.

Zhao Sihai naturally knew the extent of Wu Tiejun’s statement and was moved, but he did not wish to reveal everything just yet. He softly said, “Yuezhou City will become a whirl of conflicts. The general has treated me with kindness, but can you extend the same kindness to others tomorrow? Once set, the limits cannot be undone. Please reconsider, General! This old man should have joined the underworld long ago. I am already very fortunate to be alive today…”

Sensing Old Zhao’s resolution to leave, Wu Tiejun responded promptly. He started to reach into his pocket while saying, “Old Zhao, you protected the borders of the three kingdoms by your family’s power, your merit is immeasurable. If you return empty-handed from such a distance, how could I bear it? I still have some remnant left of the divine…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Sihai broke into laughter and interrupted him, saying, “Thank you for your kind intentions, Commander Wu, but…”

Wu Tiejun was taken aback at his words. His hand was still in his pocket when he saw Zhao Sihai, looking almost insubstantial as a cloud, floating out of the carriage.

He stood in front of Wu Tiejun and stopped his hand.

“Old Zhao, you…” Wu Tiejun was both shocked and elated.

“Thank you, Commander Wu!”

Zhao Sihai bowed deeply: “Had it not been for Commander Wu’s intervention, how could this broken body hope to be revived?”

Seeing that Wu Tiejun was unaware that he had already received treatment from the divine physician and had made a journey to bring him medicine, Zhao Sihai decided to tell the truth. Zhao Sihai thought it would no longer be right to keep him in the dark. After careful reflection, he concluded that if there was anyone in the entirety of Yuezhou City who would respect the physician’s anonymity and would protect him, it would be Commander Wu Tiejun.

Wu Tiejun, being intelligent, quickly grasped the full extent of the situation. Unable to contain his laughter, he repeatedly shook his head, saying, “This has nothing to do with me. It’s all because of the karma you accumulated through your righteous actions, Old Zhao. When you risked your life saving the common people, you were accumulating blessings. Now it’s time for you to reap the benefits and live a longer life.”

Zhao Sihai sighed, aware that Wu Tiejun was being humble and chose not to push the point, but he knew the truth.

If there was anyone in Yuezhou City who could reach the divine physician, it would be Wu Tiejun.

Without Wu Tiejun’s assistance, nobody else would likely have been able to get through to the divine physician.

“Well then… hahaha…”

Wu Tiejun laughed heartily: “My visit now seems rather presumptuous. It’s as if I followed you to secure favor in return!”

“Commander Wu, you are not that kind of person.”

Zhao Sihai also laughed, sincerely expressing: “I truly wish… the two countries would cease their disputes and live peacefully. What a wonderful world that would be…”

He understood what Wu Tiejun meant.

Though Wu Tiejun was the one who sought the divine physician that saved his life, he did not want any favor in return. The phrase “As your Commander” clearly stated his position.

I am the Grand Marshal of Great Qin!

Today’s favor has nothing to do with personal relationships. After today, you will still be a military man of Qi, and I will still be the Grand Marshal of Great Qin.

Between us, there are no personal feelings attached, everything can be left unsaid.

“Have a safe journey, Old Zhao.”

Wu Tiejun bowing deeply, said, “With deepest respect on behalf of the countless citizens of Great Qin, let me thank you, Old Zhao, for your heroic rescue all those years ago!”

Zhao Sihai, looking equally solemn, returned the ceremonious bow: “Commander Wu, there is no need to be so formal. Much like myself back in the day, I did not have any ulterior motives in helping out, what I seek is to have nothing to regret.”

They exchanged bows and said their goodbyes.

They watched as Zhao Sihai’s carriage disappeared into the snowy landscape.

Fei Xinyu, who had been silent throughout, shook his head and sighed, “This Zhao Sihai, is indeed a real man. There aren’t many people I, Fei Xinyu, admire in this world, but Zhao Sihai is definitely one of them.”

Wu Tiejun smiled and said, “You’re making a huge statement here. Old Zhao doesn’t seek fame, profit, nor wealth… But he steps forward when needed most, giving everything he has for ordinary people. People as selfless as him are too rare in this world. We should hold him in high regard, not just admire him. Wouldn’t it be infuriating if he had died just like that?”

Fei Xinyu sneered, “So that’s why your motherly instincts kicked in and you sent the message?”

Wu Tiejun was angry and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? If it were you, would you not save such a man?”

Fei Xinyu was immediately quiet: “I…I would definitely save him.”

“Then why are you making snide comments? What do you mean by motherly compassion? Don’t you have it yourself?”

Wu Tiejun said fiercely, “Fei Xinyu! You disrespect the heroic dead, you half-bred dog!”

Wu Tiejun had not had a chance to berate Fei Xinyu for a long time, and today he finally caught the rascal on the wrong foot, perfectly timed for a thorough objection.
