Cultivation Online

"Hey, look over there! Isn't that Doctor Wang and his granddaughter? Who are those two youngsters following them? They must be really important people if they are getting treated by the Divine Doctor himself..."

When the other patients and even some workers in the hospital noticed Yu Rou and Yuan following Doctor Wang, they immediately began gossiping with each other, as it was incredibly rare to see Doctor Wang working personally in the hospital.

"Ah, you must be new here. That's the Yu Family, they're one of the largest donors for our hospital, and Doctor Wang is currently taking care of one of their children, who has this incurable illness." One of the more experienced workers there explained to the new nurse.

"Wait a second… Did you just say the Yu Family?! That famous family with an immeasurable presence in the entertainment industry, especially the music industry? If I recall correctly, they have a genius musician in nearly every generation!"

"That's right— they are that Yu Family."

"Amazing! Then that beautiful young lady just now must be Yu Rou— the genius pianist who placed 3rd in the national piano competition at only 16 years old! I knew she looked familiar! She looks even prettier in person than she does on television! What about that young man in the wheelchair? I don't recognize him."

"Since you know Yu Rou, you definitely know that young man. Although he looks completely different now due to the illness that devastated his body, he's Yu Tian— the child prodigy."

"Wait! That's Yu Tian?! The legendary child prodigy who could play literally every instrument in the world before 10 years old with countless golden trophies under his belt? I wouldn't have known if you didn't tell me!"

"Yes, it's truly a pity that he was struck with that illness, or he would've been the greatest musician in history."

"I haven't seen him ever since he disappeared from television, almost like he'd disappeared from the world. He was still playing the instruments perfectly while blind when I last saw him on television."

"I guess even the Heavens envied him, so they decided to punish him. Haaa… I would be willing to do anything if I can see him on the stage once again…"

"Me too…"

While the nurses talked about the Yu Family's legacy, Yuan and the others just reached their destination.

"Just put the Young Master on the x-ray table whenever you are ready," Doctor Wang said to Yu Rou.

"Here, let me help you," Wang Xiuying said to Yu Rou.

"...Thank you."

Even though Yu Rou could've done it by herself, she didn't stop Wang Xiuying from helping.

After all, as much as she hated other women getting close to her brother, she simply couldn't deny someone as cheerful and kind as Wang Xiuying, who is one of the few people in this world that still respected her brother despite his tragedy.

Once Yuan was on the table, Yu Rou and Wang Xiuying left the room and went to the other room, where they could watch Yuan from behind a glass window.

"I am going to start now, Young Master." Doctor Wang spoke into the microphone that broadcasted his voice into Yuan's room before typing a few things into the computer beside him.

The x-ray machine suddenly activated, and Yuan was sent into this egg-shaped capsule for scanning.

And since the scanning process required some time, Wang Xiuying decided to play some music on her phone.

"..."

When Yu Rou heard the piano music that flowed flawlessly from her phone, she turned to look at Wang Xiuying and asked, "Is that all you ever listen to?"

"Pretty much!" she nodded without hesitation.

"Although I also listen to other music created by the Young Master, I like this masterpiece the most."

"..."

Yu Rou had nothing else to say so she remained silent for the rest of the time, even enjoying the music that was being repeated in a loop by Wang Xiuying, as it was music that was played by Yuan.

Sometime later, Yuan was pulled out of the capsule, and while Doctor Wang read the results, Yu Rou went to put Yuan back in the wheelchair.

"How is my brother, Doctor Wang?" Yu Rou asked after returning with Yuan.

"Hmmm…" After a moment of silence, he said, "As I had already expected, there's nothing wrong with the Young Master's body, so you don't have to worry about the impurities."

"I see… that's great." Yu Rou sighed in relief after hearing the results.

"However, that is not all I have to say," Doctor Wang suddenly continued, and he said, "According to the results, the Young Master's bones… they have gotten stronger— denser than before."

"Huh? My bones have gotten denser?" Yuan spoke in a surprised voice. He wondered if this was also caused by the game.

"Yes… Although it's not that much denser than before, it's definitely improved enough to be noticed."

"Well, it doesn't matter how much stronger my bones grow if I can't use them," Yuan laughed in a bitter voice.

"Don't give up, Young Master. The heavens won't abandon a genius such as yourself if they favored you enough to give you such talents. I'm sure this is only temporary, and if my grandfather can't heal you, I'll definitely try to do something!" Wang Xiuying spoke with enthusiasm.

"Yeah, yeah, let's see how that works out for you when all you are doing nowadays is play video games…" Doctor Wang shook his head.

"I can still study medicine as I play video games! In fact, I have learned a bunch about ancient medicine in the game that I am currently playing!" Wang Xiuying said to him.

"Ancient medicine…? Are you also playing Cultivation Online?" Yuan suddenly asked her.

"Eh?" Wang Xiuying turned to look at him with a surprised expression on her face.

"I am also playing the game with my sister right now," he said when he heard her surprised noise.

"Wait… I don't mean to be disrespectful, but you can play the game, Young Master? Even in your condition?" Wang Xiuying said with a dazed look.

"Yes. Although I don't know how it works, I can play the game perfectly fine, and I am even perfectly healthy while inside the game, so I can use my limbs and see with my eyes." Yuan said.

Both Doctor Wang and Wang Xiuying stared at him with gawking expressions on their faces.

"N-Now that you mention it… I recall seeing on the news that mentioned something like that— how even blind people can play the game and somehow use their sights in the game." Wang Xiuying spoke in a dazed voice afterward.

"W-Wait a minute! Does this mean I can watch you play the instrument again inside the game?! Let's play together, Young Master~!" Wang Xiuying said to him in a cheerful voice.

"I will be participating in the Dragon Essence Temple's disciple examination in a few days. If you want, we can meet there," Yuan said.

"Oh, I am already a disciple of another Sect— one that focuses on medicine and alchemy," Wang Xiuying sighed. "However, I'll definitely try to meet with you one day."

"What is your Sect called? If I am ever around the place, I can try to find you," Yuan said.

"It's called 'Pill Academy', located in the Northern Continent," she said.

"Northern Continent? That's quite far away since I am in the Eastern Continent," Yuan said.

"Oh… then it might be a while before we can play with each other…" Wang Xiuying sighed in a regretful voice.

However, Yu Rou was trying her hardest to not smile at her misfortune.

'Who knows what she might try to do to my brother when I am not there…' she sighed inwardly.

"Anyway, is there anything else you need from us, Doctor Wang?" Yu Rou asked him a moment later, as she wanted to return to playing Cultivation Online with Yuan.

"No, I just wanted to see if there were any changes to the Young Master's body after that incident. Since we have done the x-ray and have the results, there is nothing else I need from you two."

"Then we'll go home now. Thank you again, Doctor Wang, for taking the time to do this." Yu Rou said.

"Haha… Don't even mention it. Not only am I close with your parents but I am also a fan of the Young Lady and the Young Master." Doctor Wang laughed out loud.

"I'll walk them outside," Wang Xiuying said as she followed Yu Rou and Yuan outside to their limousine.

"I'll see you later, Young Master! I hope we get to play with each other soon!" Wang Xiuying waved at them as they entered the car.

"Yes, I hope so too," Yuan said to her.

Once the limousine drove off, Wang Xiuying returned to Doctor Wang's side.

"It's been a long time since I last saw the Young Master so energetic. We have never spoken to each other so much before. I bet it's all because of Cultivation Online, where he's able to live as a healthy young man again." Wang Xiuying said to Doctor Wang.

However, Doctor Wang didn't respond to her, and he was silently staring at Yuan's x-ray results.

"What's the matter, grandpa? Is there something wrong with the results?" Wang Xiuying asked him after noticing this.

"No, it's just that the Young Master's situation is extremely weird, to the point where it's not an exaggeration to call it a phenomenon…" Doctor Wang said in a profound voice, and he continued, "Looks like I will have to dig up and read some more ancient medical records. Perhaps I'll learn something new there."
