Peerless Medical Emperor Novel – Jinghai Airport. “What’s going on today? How come the whole airport is on lockdown?” “Who knows? I heard all flights were canceled today. Seems like they’re waiting for some important figure to arrive.” “Who could be that important? Don’t tell me a War God is coming to our Jinghai?” “A War God? I’m afraid this person is even more formidable than a War God! I just saw all Ten Great War Gods show up!” Outside the airport terminal, a crowd was buzzing with discussion. As they talked, group after group of people in sharp suits or military uniforms entered the airport. The scene was so grand it was as if the head of state was about to parachute into Jinghai. Inside the airport, several of the Great War Gods stood in their dark green military uniforms, their expressions grim.
Standing beside them were business magnates and tycoons, both local and from out of town, as well as numerous political figures. Any single one of them was a household name in Jinghai. At this moment, all their eyes were locked on the airport exit, waiting for a single person to appear! Before long, two figures came into view. “We respectfully welcome the Emperor’s Physician back to the country!” The Ten Great War Gods shouted in unison, dropping to one knee on the spot. Everyone else quickly followed suit, crying out, “We respectfully welcome the Emperor’s Physician back to the country!” Chen Qingdi frowned slightly. ‘I just came back to visit family. Is all this pomp and circumstance really necessary?’ He paid them no mind and continued walking toward the exit on his own. As he reached the Ten Great War Gods, they could no longer hold back. One of them looked up at Chen Qingdi. “If I may ask the Emperor’s Physician, you were doing well on Medical God Island. Why the sudden…?” Before the man could finish, a single glare from Chen Qingdi silenced him. “What? Do I need your permission to come home now?” With that, Chen Qingdi strode straight out of the airport, giving them no chance to speak. Only after Chen Qingdi had left did the man who had spoken slowly raise his head.
This man was Long Xiaotian, the Head of the War God. Even so, before Chen Qingdi, he could only speak while kneeling! Because that man came from Medical God Island! It was a place all students of medicine yearned for, a place countless people pursued their entire lives without ever catching so much as a glimpse of it. There, reviving the dead and growing flesh on bare bones were not just baseless tales. “The winds of change are coming to Jinghai,” Long Xiaotian murmured. “Jinghai? If the Emperor’s Physician wishes it, the winds of change will sweep through the entire Dragon Country!” The man behind Long Xiaotian spoke, his gaze fixed on the direction in which Chen Qingdi had disappeared. The crucial point was, if this change was coming, they were powerless to stop it. 「Outside the airport.」 Chen Qingdi hailed a cab and headed straight for his godmother Lin Zhongxue’s house. “Five years. It’s gone by so fast.” Chen Qingdi murmured, his gaze drifting to the window as his thoughts wandered. Five years ago, he was the young master of the Chen Family, living a carefree life of luxury, the center of everyone’s attention. Perhaps because fate saw that his life was too comfortable, one night, the Chen Family was massacred by villains.
Overnight, dozens of family members, from the masters to the servants, were killed. He was the only one left alive! The only reason he survived was because his godmother, with quick thinking at the critical moment, had hidden with him, allowing them to escape the disaster. Afterward, to prevent the Chen Family line from being extinguished, Lin Zhongxue bought him a bus ticket under the cover of night and sent him fleeing from Jinghai. He vaguely remembered that as the vehicle started to move, a group of men in black chased after them and cornered his godmother. He pressed his face against the window, watching from afar, but watching was all he could do! He watched his godmother get struck down, watched her get dragged away by them… The despair he felt in that moment was no less than what he’d felt when his family was massacred. Outside of his family, his godmother was the person dearest to him in the entire world! Later, he chanced upon a man who offered to take him as his closed-door disciple and brought him to Medical God Island.
Only later did Chen Qingdi learn that the man was actually a Medical God who had achieved immortality through the path of medicine! During his years on the island, he studied under various hermits and extraordinary individuals, gradually mastering the strengths of a hundred different schools. In both medical arts and the Martial Dao, he became unparalleled! Time flew by, and now a whole damn five years had passed. ‘I don’t know how Godmother survived back then.’ ‘But now, I absolutely cannot let her die in front of me!’ ‘If she’s gone, then I’ll truly have no other family left in this world.’ “Emperor’s Physician, we’ve arrived.” The man by his side reminded him softly. Chen Qingdi snapped back to his senses and got out of the car. The man followed behind him, his head bowed and eyes lowered in a subservient manner, looking easy to bully. No one could possibly imagine that this man was once the renowned assassin, the Raging Dragon! After being ambushed and betrayed, he had drifted on the open sea for several days until, by a stroke of luck, he was found by Chen Qingdi, who happened to be fishing.
When he was found, he was on the verge of death. After Chen Qingdi saved his life, he concealed his identity and had followed him ever since. He now went by the name Chen Yuan and was Chen Qingdi’s Medical Servant. The house before him looked largely unchanged from five years ago. The main gate was ajar. Chen Qingdi’s nose twitched; he smelled the scent of incense. He strode quickly toward the gate. Just as he reached it, he heard voices from inside. “That old bitch should’ve fucking died long ago!” “Fuck! Wasted so much of my time!” “I’m telling you, either you hand over the goods today, or I’ll send you to join your mother!” Hearing the shouts from inside the house, bloodshot veins instantly appeared in Chen Qingdi’s eyes. He kicked the door open with a single blow! … BANG— The loud noise startled the people in the room, and they all turned to look at Chen Qingdi and the other man.
“Damn it! Where did this little punk come from?” One of them cursed angrily, while another man’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw the person who had just appeared. “Chen… Chen Qingdi?” This man’s name was Zheng Zhiyi, and he was Lin Zhongxue’s apprentice. For so many years, Lin Zhongxue had raised him as if he were her own son. “You… Why are you still alive?” Zheng Zhiyi asked, looking at Chen Qingdi in disbelief.
