The Adventures of the Young Master 162 Lunaite Disease

"What is happening here?" The moment Zin Shi heard a voice asking for help, she immediately went forward and saw a woman with a child lying on an emergency stretched bed.

The child seemed like he was having difficulty with breathing and had red marks all around his body as if it was an allergic reaction. However, one glance and an expert master physician already knew that this was not something with just an allergic reaction.

"Miss... miss... are you a master physician too?" The woman, probably in her 30s, went up and asked Zin Shi with a flash of hope. However, when she realized that Zin Shi was too young to be an expert master physician, her eyes with hope gradually turned cold and said, "I need an expert master physician. I am willing to pay any price! Just... just save my son!"

"Ma'am, I have already told you that your son cannot be saved anymore and only have several days to leave. I already did you a favor of prolonging his life for days." A middle-aged bald man wearing clean white robe suddenly intervened into their conversation in a tone of arrogance.

"Senior Liu?" Zin Shi was shocked when she saw the one who talked just now. He was a senior and said to be the most promising candidate to hold the position of guild master for the next coming election. Senior Liu was a qualified 7-star master physician. But she was very wary of this man since her grandfather, Kam Shi, had told her that this man was a very crafty fox that should not be underestimated. He was the type of man that liked to control others with his plans, playing them on the palm of his hand.

"Little Zin, you're back." Senior Liu smiled and feigned ignorance as if he had not seen her yet, "Where is Kam Shi?"

"He..." Zin Shi stuttered and struggled. However, only one word came out of her mouth when someone asked where was her grandfather.

"No need to answer it anymore." Senior Liu said with a flash of a smile appeared on his face, "Just by judging from your expression, something must have happened so I won't pry any further."

He paused for a moment and continued, "This woman asked me to save his son a while ago. But you know that when a person has a lunaite disease, it is impossible to be saved unless it was not the terminal stage. In fact, even you are lucky enough to know that you have this disease, you will still die after a few years, and that's already given."

"Lunaite Disease?!" Zin Shi could not help but be shocked.

Lunaite Disease, this was one of the diseases existed in this world that had yet to find a cure. Not to mention this disease was deadly and will surely kill its victim, it was said that it could stop its victim from cultivating. Many expert 8-star master physicians had already succumbed themselves into researching a cure for this Lunaite Disease. In fact, even a legendary 9-star master physician had joined the fray just to help them fasten the research. However, their hard work did not bore fruit, leaving the world in disappointment. However, it was also understandable. After all, the disease was not something you should belittle. To add more fact, you cannot notice if you have this kind of disease until it reached its terminal stage. Even with an eye of an 8-star physician, this was still impossible. For the 9-star expert master physician, there was a 50/50 that he or she could discern it. And no one had ever discovered where this disease could get from.

As of now, the expert master physicians had only a single way to save someone from this disease, and that was to prolong their lives by several days or weeks, and if lucky, months.

When Zin Shi absorbed all information, she sighed in her heart and realized that this boy was such an innocent victim of this disease. Judging by his appearance, he was just five years old. Poor boy that he did not have the luxury to experience the world. Even this world is governed by power, it was still a nice place to live.

"Ma'am..." After realizing this heart-wrenching fact, she did not know how to say it. However, she must, "Your child here is..."

"What, your guild has no one to save my son? I'm telling you, just your name the price! As long as my son is saved, I am more than willing to pay double, no, triple of the current price!" The woman desperately begged.

"It's not that we don't want to save your son, Ma'am." Senior Liu joined in, "It's just that we don't have the capability to cure Lunaite Disease as this is still under research. However, rest assured that if there are some discoveries regarding the disease, we will immediately have you contacted." He stretched his hand with a jade stone.

"And you think my son is still alive by that time?! You from the Physician Guild are all useless!" The woman started weeping as she embraced her pale white son with red marks all around his body. These red marks were already a sign of its victim dying.

Zin Shi could not help but bit her lower lip and clenched her fist tightly in helplessness as she watched this scene. Her heart trembled several times and felt like she was stabbed for thousand times. She very well knew the feeling of losing someone dear to you. Soon, more bystanders gathered and watched this scene, which some of them also wept.

"We're very sorry, Ma'am..." Zin Shi, with her head lowered, said in a low tone.

"What are you asking an apology for?" Senior Liu asked in annoyance, "It is not our fault that we can't save her son. We are not just the ones who can't save him. No one in this world can save him. So no need to feel sorry. She will eventually accept is through the course of this last few days of her son."

"Hey, you said that no one can save him, right?" For some unknown reason, Jin Rou intervened and asked Senior Liu with a tone of disrespect.

Senior Liu could not help but knit his brows in displeasure as he heard that disrespectful voice just came from a youngster who was ignorant of this world, "I did say it since no one can really save him. What, you are against that fact?"

"Logically speaking, yes." Jin Rou smiled contemptuously and added,

"Because I can."
