Ultimate Village Doctor

If this had happened before, a man trying to put a necklace on her would have been met with a sharp slap across the face.

But today, for some reason, she didn't stop him.

Perhaps it was because the magic artifact was so precious, or maybe it was Long Xiaoshan's tenderness in his eyes, which she had never seen before, that made her allow Long Xiaoshan to put it on her.

A chilling sensation spread from her chest...

The faint green light glowed in Secluded Valley, drawing the eye irresistibly.

Long Xiaoshan swallowed hard.

The door to the training room burst open as Xing Ye rushed in shouting, "Instructor, I've gathered everyone... um, sorry, sorry."

Before Xing Ye could finish, he saw his team leader sitting on the instructor's lap in an intimate pose, their heads nearly touching, and he got a fright, quickly backing away, trying to make an exit.

Zhao Xiaoqiao was startled awake.

Seeing Long Xiaoshan's large face so close, she let out a cry, threw her head back, and with all her strength, she pushed Long Xiaoshan's head away, springing out from his embrace.

She looked just like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on.

Long Xiaoshan, looking helpless, touched his face where Zhao Xiaoqiao had pushed him away, and shouted towards Xing Ye, who was already at the door, "Stand still, where do you think you're going!"

Xing Ye's body stiffened where he stood.

His burly body turned with creaking movements like rusted gears, and he forced a particularly ugly smile on his face, "Instructor, team leader, I didn't see anything just now."

"Are you blind!" Long Xiaoshan stood up, hands behind his back, walking towards Xing Ye, "Didn't you see I was practicing martial arts with the team leader? There's nothing to run away from."

Xing Ye's face contorted a few times, and slapping his forehead he said, "Right, what am I running for? Instructor, you're really dedicated, coming back and immediately practicing martial arts with the team leader, I admire that."

"As an instructor, this is all part of the job," Long Xiaoshan said nonchalantly with his hands still behind his back, "Improving the team leader's strength is also my responsibility, right? Speaking of which, what were you saying when you came in?"

Xing Ye laughed inwardly, saying, "Instructor, didn't you just ask me to gather those who are injured?"

"Right, right," Long Xiaoshan spoke quickly, "Where are they? I'm going to treat them now."

"They're all in the assembly hall," said Xing Ye.

"Hmm, then let's go there now. Team leader, will you be coming?" Long Xiaoshan asked, looking back.

Zhao Xiaoqiao's mouth twitched twice as she said, "You go ahead, I'm all sweaty. I need to take a shower and change my clothes first."

"Alright! Old Xing, let's go!"

After calling out, Long Xiaoshan and Xing Ye headed to the assembly hall.

In the hall, nearly everyone from the Special Action Division had arrived. Long Xiaoshan swept his gaze over them, noticing that almost everyone was injured, and some were quite badly so. It seemed the competitive fights in the division had been intense.

Long Xiaoshan was somewhat surprised that an internal competition could lead to such dire consequences.

"Brother-in-law!" an excited voice called out.

A young man with a buzz cut ran out from the crowd.

Long Xiaoshan saw him and smiled slightly, "Isn't that Su Wu?"

Su Wu was Su Wan's younger brother.

When they had left Baixi Village, Su Wu had expressed a desire to learn martial arts, so Long Xiaoshan had sent him to the Special Action Division to satisfy his wish and also to temper the impulsive young man, sending him to the Division to train.

Looking at Su Wu,

In a little over a month, the boy seemed much more spirited, his body had become more robust, his face bearing a hint of weathering.

His eyes seemed steadier than before.

Long Xiaoshan nodded and asked, "How do you feel about the training at the Special Action Division? Can you endure it?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wu's face showed a trace of distress as he complained, "Brother-in-law, can you ask them to reduce the training load a bit? Just when I'm getting used to it, they increase it again, and nowadays I crawl back to sleep every day."

Long Xiaoshan smiled faintly, "Sure, in fact, you don't have to train at all. I can have you return to the village today."

At first, Su Wu seemed pleased, but upon hearing the latter part, his expression immediately changed, "Brother-in-law, are you trying to send me away?"

"Aren't you tired? If you're tired, just go back. There's no need for such hardship. Go back and marry little Qin; life would be much more comfortable."

"Brother-in-law, I, I didn't mean that!"

"If you didn't mean that, then get back to your training! And another thing, you need to call me 'instructor' when you see me at the Special Action Division! Got it?" Long Xiaoshan suddenly snapped.

Su Wu was dazed by Long Xiaoshan's bellowing, a mix of resentment and defiance flashed in his eyes as he muttered quietly, "Got it."

Long Xiaoshan stepped forward, his eyes barely ten centimeters from Su Wu as he shouted, "Louder! Understand?"

Su Wu's face flushed with anger, his fists clenched tightly as he glared at Long Xiaoshan. It took half a minute, with the entire assembly hall silent, before Su Wu's hands slowly relaxed, and through gritted teeth, he bellowed, "Understood! Instructor!"

"That's more like it!" Long Xiaoshan nodded calmly as he walked past Su Wu.

Su Wu stood there motionless.

Xing Ye came over, patted the silent Su Wu on the shoulder without saying a word. Some things have to be comprehended on one's own; words from others are useless. A man must go through experiences to grow.

Clearly, he understood Long Xiaoshan's tough-love approach with Su Wu.

If he wasn't concerned about him, why would the instructor bother to say so much to him?

Long Xiaoshan walked briskly among the members of the Special Action Division.

After a glance, he approached the person with the most severe injuries. It was Lang Xu, whose legs were both broken and who also had severe internal injuries. Ordinary treatments would likely result in a significant loss of combat ability, and he'd probably be reassigned to logistics.

Long Xiaoshan took out a pill and offered it to him, "Swallow this."

Without a word, Lang Xu swallowed the pill.

Long Xiaoshan used the Golden Needle on Lang Xu's abdomen, and moments later, Lang Xu's complexion started to improve as he expressed with joy, "Instructor, I'm feeling much better."

Long Xiaoshan applied the Bone-Regeneration Powder on Lang Xu's broken legs, saying, "You'll be able to recover completely in two days."
