AST 1979 - A Vicious Tiger Would Never Hurt Its Cub, Says Who?



Qing Shui pondered about his problems . Essentially, he was unfamiliar with this place . To makes things worse, he knew no ones here . Luckily, the Imperial Cuisine Hall was not open yet, so it should be fine as the time passed by . Perhaps, he should really consider recruiting students and organizing his own forces now .

“Is this a clinic?” A soft voice was heard suddenly .

Qing Shui raised his head and saw a woman with a child . The woman was apparently younger than thirty years old, she was quite beautiful in a tranquil sense . It was only strange that Qing Shui could not find the slightest trace of cultivation on her .

Her attire was extremely plain, however, her clothes were untainted by even a speck of dust . Her temperament was absolutely wonderful, enough to make people neglect her simple appearance . Even her voice was soft and graceful, so pleasant to the ears that it was beyond description .

A boy around five years old stood beside her . He looked a bit pale but his eyes were shining brightly . Standing beside the woman, she stared at Qing Shui curiously .

Qing Shui smiled and stood up, “We’re not even open yet . How would you know that it’s a clinic here?”

“I saw some herbs here and this place looks like a clinic,” The woman said gently with a smile .

Qing Shui did not know the reason, but he felt comfortable and happy as he first saw this woman . He smiled, “I’m about to open tomorrow and you are my first customer . I wonder how may I help you? Everything is free of charge today, the herbs would also be free if required . ”



Qing Shui noted that the woman was not well-off financially, that was why he gave her such privileges . Since he was really happy, it came from the bottom of his heart .

“Thank you, can you take a look at my son? He faints quite frequently, sometimes he is fit and healthy and sometimes he isn’t,” The woman led the boy to Qing Shui’s side .

Qing Shui was experienced and could certainly see the woman’s difficulty . She should have already brought her son to see many doctors, but they couldn’t find any solutions . His illness could be either incurable or just temporarily untreatable due to their financial limitation .

Qing Shui smiled and nodded, “How was his previous treatment?”

“I took him to many doctors but they couldn’t come to a diagnosis . From there on, I want to bring him to better doctors and alchemists, but we couldn’t find the way,” As she said that, there was an unhidden fatigue in her beautiful eyes .

“No worries, he will be cured here,” Qing Shui said calmly .

“Thank you!” The woman regained her peaceful look . However, this appreciation was only a kind of formality, Qing Shui knew about it but he said nothing . She just needed to wait until he cured her son, she would believe him then .

Qing Shui approached the little guy and examined him in detail . After that, he asked the woman some questions .



While talking, Qing Shui observed the little boy . After seeing the boy’s condition using the Heavenly Vision Technique, he was stunned . Then, he looked at the woman . She was just an ordinary woman without cultivation, only her aura was extraordinary .

Qing Shui already knew about the boy’s condition and it was neither illness nor poison . Somebody used a unique technique to seal his meridians . Under normal circumstances, it would be hard for him to reach the age of nine . Qing Shui wondered who would be so vicious? It was obvious that the one who did this, had seal this child’s meridians when he was extremely young . It was surely an act that hindered the child to grow on purpose .

“Is it difficult to treat?” The woman knew that it was tough once she saw Qing Shui’s frowning expression . She came to try her luck today and she was already numb to the repeated disappointments . Thus, it was no surprise to her when she saw his expression .

“Let’s be frank, I can cure him, but this isn’t an illness . There was someone who doesn’t want this child to live long,” Qing Shui left the little boy aside to play as he said this .

The woman trembled . Qing Shui reckoned that she knew the mastermind behind this act . She looked at her son blankly; her face turned pale by the time . It seemed that she was absorbed in her thoughts for a while, therefore, Qing Shui did not distract her from it . Though he had no idea about her problems, he was also reluctant to find the truth out .

Looking at the woman, she was exceptionally pitiful now . Unfortunately, there were so many people like her throughout the world . Qing Shui knew he was not a saint and would never be one .

“Sir, please save him, he is young and still has a very long journey ahead!” The woman bit her lips and hesitated before talking .

Qing Shui nodded, he respected her choice . After all, he gave her a promise previously; the first customer could receive free treatment .

It was easy for Qing Shui to treat the boy by unlocking the seal to his meridians . Soon after, he used the Five Elements Divine Needle on the boy’s body . It only took him an hour or so until he unlocked the meridians entirely . Suddenly, Qing Shui had a strange feeling .

This feeling was an unspoken connection, it was as if the mastermind knew that the seal was unlocked at that moment .

“Alright, I have to remind you . The man who did this to him, has already sensed the child’s recovery,” Qing Shui spoke gently, he knew that she understood this well .

“Thank you, doctor!” The woman was trembling . She turned around, leaving a shadow of despair .

“Wait a moment!” said Qing Shui quickly .

Qing Shui knew that she was a woman with stories . She reminded him of Qing Qing . Albeit not a saint, he should just do whatever he could since he already encountered this problem . This woman had a special aura like Yu Niang back then . It was comforting and Qing Shui did not want to lose the good feeling .

The woman turned around at Qing Shui while looking so surprised, “Sir!”

Qing Shui rubbed his nose, “Feel free to share your stories if it’s convenient, I might be able to help . ”

The woman shook her head, “You’re my savior, I can’t trouble you . ”

“I’m no ordinary person . Don’t you worry about your own child? Don’t you wanna watch him grow?” Qing Shui knew about what she cared the most .

As expected, the woman stopped and stared at Qing Shui, “That person is scary . I think that you’re not a match for him, he will kill you . ”

“It was too late for that . Your child was given a seal in his meridians, as I unlocked the seal, I’ve already offended him . Therefore, since I’m already in trouble, it makes no difference,” Qing Shui said casually .

The woman sighed, “I’m really sorry!”

“It is fine, really . As I said previously, I’m not an ordinary man . Explain the problem to me . I am quite certain that I can help you, or at least ensure your safety along with your child,” Qing Shui said confidently, he had high confidence in his ability .

The woman’s eyes brightened . At that moment, there was a shining halo in her eyes which was amazingly beautiful . However, it was brief and came back to peace soon after .

“The mastermind behind this act is from the Lang Clan, he should be the head of the Lang Clan by now . The Lang Clan has an equal standing with the Shang Clan in this Great Shang City . When I met him, he was not yet the head of the Lang Clan . If I should describe him, he is a genius but also a bastard . He will do anything for his own profit, no matter how wicked and merciless the means are . Unluckily, I used to be his woman and this child is our son . He wanted to kill his own son because he intended to marry a woman from the Shang Clan, all in order to stabilize his position in the Great Shang City . He also chased us out to please that woman . Moreover, he even got rid of my cultivation and did something evil to his own son . Even a vicious tiger would never hurt its cub, but he is not even comparable to a beast . ”
