However, Zhang also understood the value of having a strong alliance with Zifu Jian and Suzhen。 Together, they formed an unstoppable force, one that had earned them the respect and admiration of their peers。
As the assembly began to disperse,姚令 and 李长庚 slipped away unnoticed, their presence ignored by those who did not realize their significance。 They were the fifth and sixth-ranking doctors, respectively, but they held a secret power that could tip the balance in any conflict。
That night, under the light of the full moon, the two doctors sat atop a hill overlooking the city, watching as the stars twinkled to life above them。 They spoke in hushed tones, their conversation weaving a spell of intrigue and deception。
"We must be careful, my friend,”姚令 said, his voice barely audible over the wind。 "The current situation is precarious at best。 If we are to succeed, we must tread carefully lest we alert those who would seek to destroy us.”
李长庚 nodded, her eyes glinting in the moonlight。 She had long been aware of the dangers that lurked in the shadows, waiting to strike when least expected。
Together, they vanished into the night, leaving behind a trail of whispers and rumors, each one fueling speculation about their true intentions。 But only time would tell what secrets lay hidden beneath the surface, waiting to be uncovered.
Meanwhile, within the palace walls, a young man named 张无寿 sat by the fire, his eyes fixed on the flames as he pondered the weight of his responsibilities。 He was the fourth-ranking doctor, and though he did not wield the same level of power as those above him, he held a secret that could change everything.
As the night wore on, the shadows cast by the flickering candles seemed to grow longer, stretching out like skeletal fingers, reaching for the stars。 It was then that 张无寿 knew he had to act, to forge his own path and defy the expectations placed upon him。
Little did he know, the fate of the city hung in the balance, waiting for him to make his move。 And though he was but a humble doctor, his actions would set off a chain reaction that would shake the very foundations of the mystical world。
