At this moment, Uncle Liu shook his head to him with a sigh, "It's not your fault. Have a seat."

Hearing this, Mo Shang felt relieved. After sitting down, he took a sounding by asking, "Master, do you have anything to tell me?"

"Yes," Uncle Liu nodded.

Mo Shang immediately sat up straight and said, "Master, please be straight. I'm all ears now."

"What do you think of my treatment of you all these years?" Uncle Liu looked at Mo Shang and asked.

Being asked such a question, Mo Shang was a little confused. He said, "Master, why do you ask this so suddenly?"

"I know that I’ve been treating you severely these years. You must have hated me more or less in your heart. If you really do, I won’t have any complaint." Uncle Liu sighed and continued.

Hearing that, Mo Shang hurried to reply, "Master, I have never complained about you in my heart. I know that all you do is for my own good."

"I'm glad that you think so," Uncle Liu nodded in satisfaction after hearing Mo Shang's answer.

Feeling that Uncle Liu looked weird this time, Mo Shang continued to ask, "Master, what's wrong with you today? Why do you ask this so unexpectedly?"

"Mo Shang, you've already grown up now. There are some things I can't decide for you. That's why I want to ask your opinion," Uncle Liu said, taking a sigh of relief.

Mo Shang asked with a puzzled look, "Master, what are you going to ask me?"

"Today the imperial doctor in the palace came to the hospital, saying that the dean of the imperial hospital invited me to the Guibin Hotel," Uncle Liu said.

Mo Shang nodded and said with a smile, "Master, isn't it good news? I think the dean of the imperial hospital must appreciate your medical skills very much, so he invited you for a meal."

"And you have heard how Imperial Doctor Shan called me," Uncle Liu continued to say.

Mo Shang said, "He called you Miracle Doctor Liu."

"Yes. That's exactly what I'm worried about. With this title, there must be much trouble in the future. I'm used to freedom, so I don't want to deal with those officials," Uncle Liu sighed.

If Dean Shen had come to visit him in secret, he would like to have a good conversation with him. However, why did the emperor catch a cold and send Imperial Doctor Shan to invite him once he returned to the Jing City?

Perhaps the truth was not as simple as the invitation appeared to be. Previously when he was in Jiandu, he was willing to discuss medical skills with Shen Yang only because Shen Yang was not selfish at that time.

However, when he had returned, he looked for an excuse to let him keep the appointment. If he really came there, he would be in a dilemma whether to help Shen Yang or not once any noble or high-ranking official found Shen Yang to cure any incurable disease in the future.

What was worse, if it was the emperor who had the disease difficult to cure, everything would be fine when the disease was cured. However, if he failed to help the emperor recover, he would possibly lose his life considering his age.

At the moment, Mo Shang asked again as if he hadn't caught it, "Master, do you mean that you won't go there?"

"Of course someone should go, but it won't be me," Uncle Liu said, looking at Mo Shang.

Hearing that, Mo Shang said in confusion, "Master, Dean Shen had invited you. If you don't go, who...."

"Master, do you mean that you want me to go there instead of you?" Mo Shang said, staring at Uncle Liu with surprise.

Uncle Liu nodded to him, "Exactly!"

"Master, no. The person Dean Shen invited was you. It is improper for me to go there. What's more..." Seeing that Uncle Liu nodded, Mo Shang couldn't help but say with a flustered expression.

Before Mo Shang could finish, Uncle Liu interrupted him, "I don't think it improper. You are my apprentice. If a master has gone away, his apprentice can naturally keep the appointment instead of him."

"Go away? Master, but you have just returned! Are you going to leave again?" hearing Uncle Liu's words, Mo Shang hurried to ask.

Uncle Liu nodded, "If I'm in Jing City, even though I can hide for once, I won't be able to hide for the second time. In this case, I should simply go away."

"Master, you have just arrived here. Now you will leave again," Mo Shang said, looking reluctant to let his master go.

Uncle Liu stood up, walked to Mo Shang, and patted him on the shoulder, "I've always lived a wandering life. In fact, I won't stay in Jing City if I didn't collect you. This time I go away just to stay away from trouble. I will come back after a while."

"Master, which direction do you prepare to go?" Mo Shang looked obviously lost, but then he asked as if he had got used to it.

Ever since he was a child, his master would take a trip once after a while. However, in the beginning, the time was so short, within about ten days at most.

When he grew up, his master had prolonged the time from half a month to a whole month.

When he was older, his master only came back once half a year. And he only stayed for several days during his return.

He remembered that the longest time his master had been away was a whole year.

There was only him being left guarding the hospital. Every time before his master went away, he would be asked to recite certain medical books.

Every time when his master had gone, he would sit alone at the door in a daze everyday, keeping thinking whether master would appear in his sight the next moment.

Sometimes he was afraid that his master would never come back again because there was a time when the master returned with a broken leg. He only knew by asking that it was because his master had rolled down the valley while gathering the medicine.

Sometimes he was also afraid that his master would come back at the next moment because the first thing for him after returning was to check how much he had recited about the medical book.

Although the master would punish him when he failed to recite all the knowledge in the medical book, he still felt happy about the master's return.

This was because that he could hear the master's voice of punishing him after returning, which could make him feel much better than staying in the hospital alone.

At this moment, Uncle Liu looked outside and said, "Did you say that the girl had gone to Beiling just now?"

"Yes. Master, are you going to Beiling this time?" Mo Shang nodded. Then he frowned and asked.

Uncle Liu said, "It's extremely cold in Beiling. I've heard that there's excellent Saussurea on the Jihan Mountain in Beiling. I want to take the opportunity to look for it. Maybe I can find it by luck."

"Master, it's far from here to Beiling. Also, I've heard that it's really cold in Beiling. The book records that the environment on Jihan Mountain is rather harsh. Master, you are over 50 now. I'm afraid... I'm afraid that your body can't bear it," Mo Shang said anxiously.

Uncle Liu shook his head. A smile lit his face, "Well, my body worsens year by year. However, now that I can still walk, I want to do whatever I want to do so that there won't be any regrets when I die."

"Master, now that you've made up your mind, I know that there's no use persuading you anymore. However, what should I say to Dean Shen?" Mo Shang knew that his master had devoted his whole life to medicine, so he couldn't be stopped by Mo Shang alone. Then Mo Shang asked again.

Uncle Liu walked to the desk and sat down. He looked at Mo Shang and said, "It's exactly what I want to tell you."

"Master, go on. I'm listening," Mo Shang nodded and looked at Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu said, looking very serious, "Dean Shen will definitely ask you why I don't go there. If he asks you about it, you should answer him according to the truth. However, if he asks you where I leave for, you should say that you don't know."

"I've noted, Master," Mo Shang nodded in response.

Then Uncle Liu continued, "Then Dean Shen will pretend that nothing has happened. He will invite you to take the meal and try to know your ability by discussing medical skills with you."

"What should I do?" Mo Shang frowned a little and asked after hearing the words.

At this moment, Uncle Liu sat up straight, stared at Mo Shang, and spoke in a serious manner, "Then it's the time for you to make your own choice."

"Make my own choice? Master, what do you mean by that? I don't understand," Mo Shang couldn't help but shake his head after hearing Uncle Liu's words.

Uncle Liu sighed and said meaningfully, "It's the time for you to choose your own fate."

"My fate?" Mo Shang still looked confused.

Seeing that Mo Shang was still puzzled, Uncle Liu couldn't bear it. He clapped his hands and said directly, "If you want to keep guarding the hospital, you should pretend to know nothing when Dean Shen asks you. If you want to have a promising future and go to the external world, you should tell Dean Shen your own idea and make him admire you!"

"Master, it..." hearing Uncle Liu's words, Mo Shang couldn't help but look awkward.

Seeing that Mo Shang hesitated, Uncle Liu shouted at him, "What are you hesitating for? There're two ways for you to choose. However, you should have to think carefully about it. Whatever decision you make, I will support you."

"Okay," Mo Shang nodded, closed his eyes, and thought about it with his head lowered.

Uncle Liu looked at Mo Shang from the side.

Before long, Mo Shang raised his head and opened his eyes.

At this moment, Uncle Liu hurried to ask, "What? Have you made up your mind?"

"Yes, Master," Mo Shang nodded, looked at Uncle Liu, and said.

Hearing Mo Shang's words, Uncle Liu continued to ask, "So what is your choice?"

"Master, I... I want to see the world outside," Mo Shang winked his eyes slightly. Then he raised his head and said with firm looks.

Hearing Mo Shang's choice, Uncle Liu nodded, "Good. Then you should behave well in the future. Don't be a disgrace to me."

"Of course I won’t," Mo Shang said firmly.

Uncle Liu stood up with a smile. Then he said, "Remember, the world outside is not as good as your imagination. Keep an eye on everything."

"I got it, Master," Mo Shang nodded in response.

Then Uncle Liu said, "It's already late now. You should go to the Guibin Hotel now."

"Master, when will you leave?" Mo Shang stood up, looked at Uncle Liu, and said.

Uncle Liu sighed, "I will pack up and leave after you leave here."

"Master, please wait, "Mo Shang said and ran towards Uncle Liu's house inside.

Seeing this, Uncle Liu looked inside in confusion.

Before long, Mo Shang went out of the house.

There was a package in his hand.
