“Yes, Master.”Nicole Kim replied obediently.Before long, the two children—one older, one younger—carried the dishes out the door.“Katie, pour some wine for Uncle Wilson.”“Brady, go slice some more roasted lamb, and warm up the dishes—they’ve gone cold.”Kim Frederick instructed again.“Yes, Master.”Both responded at once.“Sir, since you are an old friend of my master, then the master of Mystic Medical Valley he told me to find… that would be you, correct?”Joseph asked at this moment.“What master of Mystic Medical Valley? I’m nothing more than a barefoot doctor.”“Other than Seventeen, all these children were either taken in or picked up while I traveled and practiced medicine.”“In my lifetime, I’ve had seventeen disciples. The older ones I’ve sent out of the mountains to make their way in the world.”“When these younger ones come of age and can stand on their own, they too will leave to seek their own paths.”“As for me, this old man can remain in the mountains without concer

“Good day, sir. My name is Joseph Wilson. I’ve come to Hidden Dragon Village to find someone.”Joseph spoke as he caught sight of the old man.From what the children had been saying, the elder before him was most likely their master, Kim Frederick.“A Wilson, looking for someone?”The old man’s brows drew together slightly at the words.“Master, this is an uncle we picked up on the road. His cooking smells amazing—though we haven’t eaten yet, it already smells incredible.”“He even made your favorite roasted lamb. It smells so, so good—seriously, unbelievably good.”“It’s making me drool.”Seventeen Wilson chattered nonstop. Joseph was beginning to understand the boy—young as he was, he was undeniably a chatterbox, always brimming with things to say.“What is Eugene Wilson to you?”The old man asked again.“Eugene Wilson is my master. I’m an orphan—I had no parents growing up. He took me in, raised me, taught me medicine and many other skills, and treated me as his own son.”Joseph an

“Wonderful! Wonderful—there’s roasted lamb to eat!”Seventeen Wilson exclaimed, practically bouncing with delight.“Then, sir, we’ll have to trouble you. I’ll get started right away.”Brady Kim said, a little embarrassed.“Not at all.”Joseph replied politely.“Sixteenth Sister, come on—we’ll clean the ingredients and set up a fire in the yard to make charcoal.”“We’ll leave things here to Uncle Wilson.”Brady said.“Alright.”Nicole answered obediently.“I want to help too—I want to help!”Seventeen chimed in eagerly, his enthusiasm fully awakened.With the three children assisting, Joseph quickly prepared several substantial dishes.They carried a large round table out into the courtyard.After more than an hour of bustling work, the table was filled with an abundant spread—both grand dishes and simple fare.The aroma of the food filled the air, rich and enticing.Seventeen Wilson tried to sneak a taste, only to have his hand lightly slapped by Nicole.“Little Junior Brother, where

After a full day on the road, finally having a place to rest brought Joseph a quiet sense of relief.Once inside, the boy brought him a cup of hot tea. After a sip, the comfort deepened.“This is my fifteenth senior brother—Brady Kim.”“And this is my sixteenth senior sister—Nicole Kim.”“My name is Seventeen Wilson. You can call me Seventeen, just like they do.”Though young, Seventeen carried himself with surprising confidence, speaking freely without the slightest trace of shyness.“Nice to meet you all. My name is Joseph—you may call me Uncle, or whatever you prefer.”Joseph said with a warm smile.“Hello, Uncle Wilson. Master should be back soon. We’re preparing dinner—I’ll get back to it. Please make yourself comfortable.”Brady Kim said politely.“Go ahead, don’t mind me.”Joseph replied with an easy smile.“Oh, Nicole, Seventeen—there’s quite a bit of food in my pack. You’re welcome to take a look and see if there’s anything you like.”Joseph said to the two of them.“Yes, yes

“Not quite. My surname is Ye, my master’s surname is Kim, and most people in the village are named Forrest.”The child explained.“Is that so?”“By the way, have you heard of Mystic Medical Valley—or its master?”Joseph asked. Though the boy appeared young, his thoughts were clear, his manner unafraid, and he seemed to know more than one might expect.“I’ve only heard of a divine healer. I’ve never heard of Mystic Medical Valley, nor its master.”The child shook his head.“Oh? And who is this ‘divine healer’ you speak of?”Joseph pressed.“Why, my master, of course. His name is Kim Frederick—he’s the most respected elder for miles around.”“My master is remarkable. It feels as though there’s no illness he cannot cure.”The child spoke with unrestrained admiration.“Is that so?”“Could you take me to meet your master?”Listening to the boy’s description, Joseph felt a stirring certainty. This master of his very likely knew of the master of Mystic Medical Valley—perhaps he was the very

Within the bounds of Mystic Medical Valley, there were over a dozen, perhaps twenty villages scattered across the region. Joseph knew this place was unlikely to be Hidden Dragon Village, yet he asked anyway.“Judging by the way you’re dressed, you’ve come from outside, haven’t you?”The old man looked him over and replied with a question.“Yes, I have. I’m here to visit a friend.”Joseph answered with a smile.“This isn’t Hidden Dragon Village. This is Little Ridge Village. Hidden Dragon Village lies further ahead—you’ll need another one or two hours on the mountain paths.”“If you set off now, you might still make it there before nightfall.”“Once it gets dark, running into a wild boar wouldn’t be too bad—but if you encounter wolves or worse, it could be dangerous.”Seeing that Joseph didn’t seem like a bad sort, the old man spoke candidly.“Thank you, sir. Here—these are a few cans I brought with me. Please take them.”Joseph took three cans from his pack and offered them to the old
