The Great Doctor Girl

Chapter 123: Rainy Night, Fate Changes Suddenly

"Luo Shu." Master's voice was deep and powerful. "Hatred can be a sharp sword that controls you, but it shouldn't be a shackle. You should use it to sever the past, not let it constrain your future."

I knelt on the ground, tears streaming down my face. "But Master, how can I let go? They wanted to kill me! They burned my entire family. My grandparents died in that fire. Everything I lost was caused by them! How can I possibly forgive them? Shouldn't they be punished? Unless I didn't know the truth at all."

Master reached out and held my shoulders, his eyes filled with deep love. "Luo Shu, hatred is your weapon, not your destiny. Use it to find the truth, to end everything, but don't let it consume the rest of your beautiful life."

His voice was gentle yet held an unshakable power. "Remember, you are a child of heaven and earth, destined to transcend this. Destiny should not be your cage, but your ladder."

I looked at his head full of white hair, and my heart was filled with pain and hatred.

I know he is right, but how can I let go of these truths?

That night, the mountain wind was howling and my tears were still wet.

And I, standing at the intersection of the past and the future, felt so confused for the first time.

The weight of hatred and responsibility is so unbearable.

"Master, you lived in seclusion because of me, right? You didn't beat him back then, did you?" I asked in a low voice, with uneasiness in my voice.

The master was silent for a moment, as if this sentence brought him back to that rainy night.

His eyes were lowered, with an imperceptible pain in them.

He finally spoke, his voice heavy and slow, "Although it was summer that day...it was as cold as it is today. Chen Feng's sneer is still etched in my memory, like a blunt knife, biting at my heart."

The master's voice of recollection is like a key, quietly opening the floodgates of time.

All the past events flashed before my eyes like a kaleidoscope, frame by frame, scene by scene, just like a movie being played, slowly unfolding the dusty past.

In the heavy rain, Chen Feng's cold smile pierced into his master's eyes like a knife.

Not far away, Su Junsheng's daughter was lying in the center of a red magic circle. Six scarlet lamps were lit around her, and the flames were dancing strangely. Although it was June in the human world, it emitted bursts of cold and gloomy air.

On the other side of the magic circle, I lay weakly on a cold, hard bluestone slab, my face as pale as paper, and my breathing was almost inaudible.

The positions of the two people were connected by a black line covered with talismans, forming a yin-yang opposing layout.

Su Junsheng stood aside, his face full of anxiety.

The look he gave Chen Feng was filled with both anticipation and a bit of fear.

He knew that this fate-changing ritual was not only dangerous but could also lead to unpredictable consequences, but for the sake of his daughter's life, he could no longer care about these things.

"Chen Feng, can it be done?" There was a hint of trembling in Su Junsheng's voice.

Chen Feng closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and said coldly: "Shut up and don't disturb me. You must concentrate on the life exchange process. Whether your daughter's fate can be stabilized depends on my next operation."

In the magic circle, Su Junsheng's daughter opened her eyes slightly. She looked extremely weak, as if she would disappear with a gust of wind.

Her eyes swept over where I lay, a little confused, but her vision was quickly blocked by her forced eyelids.

Chen Feng suddenly opened his eyes and sneered: "Let's start."

He held up a dark red talisman in his hand and chanted a spell in a low voice.

The talisman paper turned into a red light that shot straight into the sky, and then a low roar came from all directions, as if the heaven and earth were shaking.

The rain was turned into mist by the powerful magic power, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

“The sky and the earth are boundless, and fate is reversed!

When yin and yang are in harmony, cause and effect are severed..."

Chen Feng's voice resounded like thunder, and his hands formed complex seals. A blood-red beam of light descended from the sky, covering the entire magic circle.

Su Junsheng's daughter snorted softly, and her body was lifted up by the blood light and floated in the air.

I was pressed against the bluestone slab by a powerful force. The blood color on my face faded instantly, and only my weak breathing proved that I still had a glimmer of hope.

The master watched all this, his eyes filled with deep pain and struggle.

He took a step forward, but was blocked by the barrier cast by Chen Feng.

"Chen Feng!" Master roared, his voice filled with anger and grief. "She was only a two-year-old child, and you actually took her life in such a cruel way! Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"Retribution?" Chen Feng sneered, unmoved. "Brother, you've practiced for so many years, do you still believe in these illusory things? Fate should be used by the strong. No matter how noble this child's life is, it is ultimately just a useless destiny. Only by giving it to someone useful can it be considered fully utilized."

His hand seal changed, and blood light burst out from the magic circle.

My already weak breath became even weaker, but a hint of life appeared on Su Junsheng's daughter's face.

It seemed as if earth-shaking changes were taking place inside her body.

"It's almost done." Chen Feng said in a low voice, sweat already oozing from his forehead.

He knew that changing one's fate was not easy, especially for someone like me who was born with the Phoenix fate, which was even more difficult to control.

He must give it his all, or this ritual could cost both of their lives.

At this moment, the master slammed the barrier with both hands, and a burst of blazing white spiritual power burst out, forcibly tearing a crack.

He rushed into the magic circle like a flash of lightning and attacked Chen Feng directly.

"You dare!" Chen Feng shouted angrily, and the bronze sword in his hand slashed out instantly, and a blood-colored sword energy attacked him.

The master's palm turned into a spiritual shield, blocking the sword energy, but his body was shaken back repeatedly, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Chen Feng, even if I risk my life today, I will not let you succeed!" The master roared, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Chen Feng sneered repeatedly: "Brother, you are too late. Her fate has changed. Her destiny no longer belongs to her, but to someone who needs it more!"

Before he finished speaking, Su Junsheng's daughter slowly landed on the ground in the magic circle. The color on her face was completely restored, and she looked countless times healthier than before.

My body completely collapsed to the ground, barely breathing.

"Let's go!" Chen Feng didn't even look at his master, and directly pulled Su Junsheng and his daughter out of the magic circle.

He knew that the fate of the person who had just completed the life-changing ceremony would need time to stabilize, and it would be dangerous to stay here.

He also knew that I would definitely die if I continued like this.

They quickly disappeared in the rain.

Master knelt on the ground, looking at me, weak and frail, his eyes filled with pain and self-blame. He stumbled over to my side and held me tightly in his arms.

"Luo Shu, it's Master's fault that he failed to protect you..." His voice trembled, and tears mixed with rain slid down his cheeks.

He endured the severe pain, dragged his broken leg, and walked towards the wooden house step by step with difficulty.

Every step he took left shocking traces of blood on the ground, but he never stopped.

After returning to the cabin, he gently placed me on the bed and used all his strength to set up the Bagua Life-Nourishing Formation to protect the last glimmer of life for me.

That night, the rain washed the earth, but it could not wash away the master's despair and pain.

From that day on, he transformed the cabin into an impenetrable shelter, and two years later he brought me to the top of the mountain, away from the conflicts of the world.

For my master, this past filled with blood and tears is a scar deeply engraved in his heart, which hurts whenever he touches it. The years have passed, but they have not been able to smooth out the painful wrinkles. For me, it is like a strict boundary marker of fate, ruthlessly dividing my two lives. Since then, my future has been completely rewritten.

Time flies, as if the pain has been quietly buried by the years, but the scars of the past have long been deeply engraved into the texture of life. In the wooden house on the mountaintop, the aroma of medicine lingers. I sit cross-legged on the low couch, my childish face wearing a solemnity that belies my age.

Two years of recuperation have made me a little healthier than that night, but my little body is still thin and my face is always a little pale.

The master sat on a wooden chair, leaning on a cane, looking out the window with focused eyes.

There were endless mountains outside the window, but his gaze seemed to penetrate the mountains and see farther.

"Master," I spoke softly, my childish voice filled with inextricable confusion and grievance, "Why do others say that I am the unlucky one for my entire family?" As I finished speaking, tears welled up in my eyes.

The master's body suddenly froze, his busy hands stopped quietly, and he slowly raised his eyes to look at me. The complicated expression on his face was like dark clouds covering the sun, layer upon layer.

He sighed deeply, "Luo Shu, don't listen to that nonsense. You were born into this world with a mission. From now on, you must devote yourself to studying medicine. When you grow up, you will have great ambitions waiting to be fulfilled."

"Then where are my parents now?" I widened my eyes, filled with confusion and longing. "Why don't they come to see me? Don't they want me anymore?"

The master was silent for a long moment. Then he walked over to my side, slowly squatted down, and gently stroked the top of my head with his bony hands, which were warm. "My dear Luo Shu, your parents are far away. They are doing something remarkable. You must work hard and achieve great things when you grow up. Then, your family will be reunited."

"Master," I frowned, a small "chuan" (Chuan) shape formed between my eyebrows, and I asked in a baby voice, "Is a person's fate determined by God? Can a person with a good fate be snatched away by a bad guy? If my fate is taken away, will my future be ruined?"

"Luo Shu, that's not the case." Master's voice was deep and mellow. "Everyone comes to this world with a unique mission. While life is important, it's not everything. You must remember that what's more important than your fate is your own strength and will. You want to become stronger, not to reclaim something, but to protect everything you cherish."

I nodded, half understanding, and wiped the tears from my eyes. "Then how can I become stronger? Master, will you teach me?"

"Of course." The master smiled. "But you are still young. The most important thing now is to take good care of your body. When you are older, I will teach you more and give you the ability to protect yourself."

I looked up at him, a trace of seriousness on my childish face: "Master, please don't get hurt again, okay? I will become very powerful and protect you in the future."

When Master heard this, a touch of tenderness welled up in his eyes. He nodded gently: "Okay, Master will wait for you to become powerful. Then we can face those people together, okay?"

I nodded vigorously, clenching my little fists tightly. "Yes! Master, I will work hard! When I grow up, we will go together to chase away the bad guys!"

The master patted my head gently, but there were complicated emotions in his eyes.

He knew that I was still a child, and my future was destined to endure countless storms and hardships.

But looking at my young and determined expression, a glimmer of hope emerged in his heart.

"Luo Shu, no matter what the future holds, Master will be with you." He said, his voice as gentle and firm as the mountain breeze.

I saw that night, the two of us, master and disciple, sitting quietly in front of the window, with the starlight shining on us.

The wind blowing across the top of the mountain seemed to foreshadow endless waves in the future, but the tranquility at that moment became the most precious memory of my childhood.
