The Geared Immortal

Chapter 607

(Unedited)

…

Two years ago, a couple was married and bore a son. The family of three lives a humble life in a simple home of their own. The woman is really good at managing their home and would always assist her husband, and the man is a good doctor. The family lived their lives simply and happily.

In the capital city, there are many famous doctors and physicians who have gained fame and became well-known. And in this competitive environment, the good doctor began to gain small fame for himself because of his kind attitude towards his patients.

However, he is just an ordinary doctor with ordinary skills. However, because of his attitude towards his patients, many began to visit his simple clinic.

With the growth of the number of patients, so did their finances. And with that, they have earned enough money and bought a lot to put up their new clinic. Everything was going smoothly for the family and they were happy.

However, it seems that fate has a cruel way of reminding people that happiness is just temporary. And so disaster struck.

And one day, a patient arrives in the clinic. The patient is suffering from fever and was very weak when he was sent to the clinic. After some checkup and prescription, the patient went home.

A day later, the family of the patient gathered a group and rampages through the clinic. They are demanding payment for the life of the patient who died after drinking the prescribed medicine. And this was followed by the local magistrate being involved.

In short, for some unknown reasons, the good doctor was found guilty and was imprisoned. Without a husband, the woman felt helpless and sad. But she tried to make it through along with her small son. However, who would have known that the family of her husband would suddenly appear and accused her of infidelity.

This is because, a night before, someone barge into their home and tried to assault the woman. Luckily she was able to run with her son and wounded the guy. But the story was manipulated by the family of her husband and makes it look like she is having an affair. And with that, they began to harass the woman and her child.

Without a husband to protect her and her child, they were beaten badly.

…

"Ugh…" a groaning voice suddenly echoed through the room.

Lying in the bed is a woman in her 30s with bandage all over her body. She discovered that something is attached to her arm and that thing is connected to a liquid hanging on the wall.

She roams her gaze to the whole room which has a good atmosphere and lavish decoration. She didn't know how she got inside because she didn't have time to think about herself at that time.

"My son… Where… where is… where is my son." She muttered with a shaking and hoarse voice.

Suddenly from the side, she noticed a person walking out of the divider. The young man peeked at her and smiled. He walked to her side which made her unconsciously shiver. She could not move her body due to pain, so she could just look at him with horror.

"Relax, I'm a doctor. I… we… found you and your son on the street. Your son is okay, he is with my companions." Shin Jiao said as he sits at the side of the bed.

"I'm going to check your pulse, may I?"

The woman looks at Shin Jiao with a bit of suspicion but she didn't have a choice because she could not even move her body due to the pain she could feel when moving. However, she just slightly nodded her head.

"Hmm… good, your wounds are fine now, but your internal injuries would still take a few days to heal. By the way, what's your name?" Shin Jiao asked as he pretends to check her pulse.

While scanning her body, he could see the effect of the concoction and it was really amazing.

"Sue Na…" she replied in a low tone.

"I'm Doctor Qiong Ji, your son is fine. You've been unconscious for 2 days now." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

However, he noticed the eyes of the woman seem to be looking at him in disbelief. It was like she was shocked by what he just said.

"Qiong… Ji?" she said in a hoarse voice.

But her eyes show a bit of fear and anxiety.

"Umm… yeah. I… I seem to have lost my memory. So I'm still trying to figure out things…" Shin Jiao said as he explained in short detail about what happened to him.

When the woman heard his short story, her eyes still showed a bit of suspicion but were a bit calm now.

"So the military told you that you are Qiong Ji?" she asked.

Shin Jiao nodded his head.

The woman just looks at Shin Jiao's handsome face and shook her head, then sighs.

However, Shin Jiao could ascertain that the woman seems to have recognized him from her reaction and facial expressions.

Shin Jiao didn't bother and just let her rest for a while.

As he walked out of the room, he was greeted by a maid.

"Young Master, the patriarch is looking for you."

Shin Jiao nodded his head and followed her towards a huge courtyard.

He remembers when he arrives in this place taking along the woman and her son. The people were all flabbergasted to see him. From their reaction and the entourage at the gate, it seems that the people are expecting him already.

Shin Jiao decided to go directly to the Ji manor and bring the woman there to treat her.

After some formalities with the young couple and the mercenaries, the patriarch of the Ji clan sends them off while Shin Jiao busied himself treating the woman. Those who are in the clan, especially the physicians, decided to watch the procedure. They have already heard the news that their, supposed to be, young master is a great miraculous doctor. Hence this excites these few doctors inside the clan.

When he was treating the woman, the doctors in the family were a bit flabbergasted as Shin Jiao's action did not conform to the norms. He casually cut the woman's clothes with a scissor and strips her of her clothes while leaving her private parts covered.

However, they did not interfere and just watch to the side.

Soon, they saw him touching her body and aligning her bones. Though Shin Jiao is not an expert, with the use of his power, he is able to easily do so.

If he is alone, he did not have to do these things manually, but since he needs this cover for a while, he has to show them his true skill. That's why he did what he needed to do.

But what Shin Jiao noticed which is a bit suspicious is that the Ji manor seems to be treating him as their real young master. He knew that he was an impostor and he knew that they knew that he was an impostor. So why it is that everything seems normal?

This situation seems peculiar but seems to still be in his favor, so he decided to play along.

Two days have passed since then.

Shin Jiao enters the large hall and saw a lot of people. He noticed his two friends, Bailao Di and Jie Ming along with some men who wore palace robe from ancient times. When they noticed him the two have wide smiles on their faces.

"Haha… I knew you could make it." Bailao Di said as he walked towards Shin Jiao and patted his shoulder.

"Yeah, it was a long story."

"But you're our hero man. If not for your action, our caravan would have been in big trouble." Bailao Di said as the two walked towards the group.

Shin Jiao looks at the patriarch and cupped his hand.

"This humble junior greets the patriarch…"

"Good, good!" the middle-aged looking man with a handsome face said as he gave Shin Jiao a satisfactory smile.

"I have called for you today young Qiong because of the people from the palace. They are here to see you." the patriarch said.

"So, this is the famous doctor of the Ji clan. You look like a good young man. It seems that the rumor before about you is wrong. Hehe…" from the man's words who look like a eunuch from the palace the faces of everyone around the room look a bit pale and uncomfortable.

"I am Eunuch Gong, and I am here to deliver a decree from the emperor." The eunuch added upon noticing the awkward atmosphere.

As a palace eunuch, Eunuch Gong already knew of the young man's situation and that he could not remember what had happened in the past. But of course, the eunuch is really curious about this situation and wanted to test it out.

From the young man's confused reaction, it seems that the humor about him losing his memories is true.

Everyone inside the hall immediately kneeled down and received the decree.

Because of his accomplishments in the war and in the border city, the empire decided to reward him with gold and silver ingots. Plus, he was given a chance to visit the palace to see the emperor.

However, Shin Jiao did not show interest in the money but focus more on the invitation to visit the palace.

According to the decree, the emperor is going to hold a celebration for the victory of his empire in defending the only passage to the empire. Now that it was collapsed, they can now enjoy peace for a while without the threat from the Golden Dragon Empire.

With that information, Shin Jiao has the look of expectation beaming in his eyes.

A week from now, the banquet would start and he would be going there with some of the members of the Ji clan.

Shin Jiao did not learn anything about the real Qiong Ji inside the manor. It seems that the people in this place keep mum about this information. Hence he could only find another way to know more about himself.

And a person is currently in his mind, the mother of the real Qiong Ji who always hides inside her own courtyard ever since he came in this huge manor.
