?Chapter 449: Chapter 449 Setting Up a Medical College Chapter 449: Chapter 449 Setting Up a Medical College “My master, I was an orphan from a young age, a little beggar who was beaten and scolded while struggling to survive. It was your grandmaster who picked me up and took me in, gave me food, taught me to read and practice medicine. But the old man, my master, was also very busy, so I ended up following my senior brother around like a little shadow.”
The old master reminisced about the past.
“Your senior uncle was quite loyal when he was younger. He was a determined kid and, while he wasn’t exceptionally kind to me, his younger apprentice brother, he wasn’t mean either. You see, I grew up in a nest of beggars, unloved and uncared for, and suddenly I had a senior brother who was like an older sibling to me. How could I not like him?”
“A child’s feelings are pure. I was good to my senior brother, and he was good to me. He even taught me to read and write. But later on, as I learned medicine quickly and our master said I was more talented than my senior brother, I became proud and complacent. That was when my senior brother began to drift apart from me.”
“Looking back on it now, how can I blame my senior brother? The apprentice he had taught was praised by our master every day, and yet he often got scolded. If I were in his shoes, I would have been dissatisfied and felt resentment, too. So we drifted further and further apart, and eventually, when my master chose to pass on his mantle to me, my senior brother truly went down an irreversible path.”
“He was indeed in the wrong, take Wu Xie’s mother for example, he brought ruin to an entire family. Wasn’t that an outrageous mistake? A man like that deserves to sink to the eighteenth level of hell even after death.”
“But I was also at fault. My senior brother taught me the basics, yet due to our conflicts, I distanced myself from him and failed to play a supervisory role. Had I stayed by his side, he definitely would not have made such a grave error.”
“I’ve let down my master’s expectations of me. After I die, who’s to say I don’t deserve to descend to hell too.”
Murong Jiu felt that something was off as she listened further.
She said solemnly, “Master, you’re being too hard on yourself. As people age, they tend to reflect on the past, but who in this world has never made a mistake? You’ve saved so many people, and your merit is great. If you feel guilty, after Uncle Master Miao gets better, you both can continue to treat and heal people, accumulating even more merit.”
