14 Qin Xiaoyou’s Difficulty (1/2)

In his old lifetime, Mo Wen started training his Inner Qi from the young age of five. Coupling his family's technique with their specially concocted medicine, he had spent a whole 15 years before his Inner Qi was fully developed. Now in this body, the conditions were just incomparable to those in his previous lifetime. Moreover, Mo Wen had passed the crucial training period age. Starting to train at 18 years old could mean that there would be no real result for the rest of his life.

”If only there were legendary miracle drugs available.” Mo Wen sighed helplessly.

The situation did not look optimistic. It was possible that even if he worked hard his entire life, it would still be difficult for him to reach the same standard of his past life. In that lifetime, he started training from such a young age and his family had cultivated a favorable environment for him. Moreover, he consumed many enhancing medications to boost his Inner Qi. All of these circumstances allowed Mo Wen to achieve such a fully developed Inner Qi by the age of 20.

But now, he did not have anything to help him, so how would he reach that kind of standard?

Mo Wen heard of rumors touting several kinds of miracle drugs that would make him seem like a reborn person. Using them would enhance one's Inner Qi. Even for a miracle physician like himself, Mo Wen had only ever heard of its existence and never saw them for himself.

It'd be much more useful for Mo Wen to believe in his own abilities to train his Inner Qi instead of in the existence of miracle drugs. Mo Wen sighed helplessly. Whether or not he could regain his Inner Qi from the previous lifetime was up to the heavens.

Brushing off the weeds that had clung onto his body, Mo Wen got up and stretched a bit. Although he had not slept for the entire night, he still felt refreshed as if he had been meditating.

”Hmm, where did Qin Xiaoyou go?”

Mo Wen glanced over to the long bench and realized that Qin Xiaoyou had disappeared. The sky had just become bright and she slept for barely two hours so where could she have run off to?

He circled the surrounding areas and looked for her but did not see any hints. This made him feel a slightly disappointed because Qin Xiaoyou had left while he was training. He had prepared to probe into what sort of barriers she had faced. However, now that she was gone, that would not be possible.

Just as Mo Wen felt helpless, a gentle voice suddenly came from behind him. ”Mo Wen, you're awake already?”

Behind him was the petite shadow of Qin Xiaoyou.

”Where did you go?” Mo Wen smiled and said bitterly. He had not found her during his own search and thought that Qin Xiaoyou had already left. In the end, she appeared on her own.

Qin Xiaoyou waved a bag of food in her hand in front of Mo Wen before placing it on the long bench. ”I went to buy breakfast. You should eat it fast, I'm about to leave.”

Qin Xiaoyou stretched her hand to smoothen out some messy tendrils. She did not even consider staying longer and turned to leave after setting the breakfast down.

Mo Wen held up the food and started to eat as if nothing happened. His gaze was set on Qin Xiaoyou, who slowly walked into the distance. When her back view had almost disappeared from his sight, he stood up from the long bench instead and quietly followed suit.

Qin Xiaoyou seemed to be unfamiliar with the surrounding area. She turned left and right a couple times before finally walking into a tall building.

”Leading Military Hospital!” Mo Wen looked towards the grand plaque in front of him and his lips inadvertently curled upwards into a smirk. He had just been here yesterday and was here yet again.

”What is Qin Xiaoyou doing here at the hospital, is someone in her family sick?” Mo Wen stroked his chin thoughtfully. He quietly followed her in.

The Leading Military Hospital was big and people who didn't know the layout would find walking through difficult no matter how long they spent wandering around. Even though Mo Wen had been here once, he still was not familiar with the Leading Military Hospital's winding hallways. However, he was not worried. After all, Qin Xiaoyou was leading the way.

The two of them walked into various wards one after another. Finally, they stopped in front of a ward on the eighth floor. Qin Xiaoyou seemed to be comfortable in that environment as she casually pushed open the door and entered.

Mo Wen stood by the door and looked through the glass window. He realized that the room was a joint ward with four beds in total. Qin Xiaoyou was currently by one of the bed spaces taking care of a middle-aged lady with a pale complexion.

”Had her mom fallen sick?” Mo Wen furrowed his eyebrows. He knew very little about Qin Xiaoyou's family. Just like him, she belonged to a single parent household and her mother had raised her alone. As to what happened to her father, he did not know.

Moreover, Qin Xiaoyou's family situation was not good either. Similar to Mo Wen, she hailed from a low-income family.
