Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

"Who will go first?" Lin Dong asked.

"Let me go first." Qin Yitian giggled and then took off Lin Dong's shirt.

Then she extended her slender jade hand and wrote on Lin Dong's chest.

While writing, she asked Lin Dong to close his eyes.

"No peeking, you can only feel with your body what I'm writing." Qin Yitian said.

Lin Dong nodded, closed his eyes, and felt the characters Qin Yitian was writing on his chest.

This character had a total of ten strokes. Lin Dong quickly guessed what she had written.

"You wrote the character for love, didn't you?" Lin Dong said with a smile.

Qin Yitian nodded, "That's right, I wrote the character for love."

On the position of Lin Dong's heart, she wrote an '爱' character. The meaning was self-evident.

"I lost, you can ask me anything you want, and I'll answer." Qin Yitian said spreading her hands.

She felt that there were no secrets she couldn't share with Lin Dong, so she wasn't worried about any question he might ask.

Lin Dong pondered for a moment, suddenly recalling the conversation between Qin Yitian and Qin Feng earlier that day.

It seemed that the siblings were discussing some taboos.

Lin Dong was indeed curious about this matter.

So he asked, "Earlier today, I saw you and your brother discussing something about your mother-in-law?"

"Can you tell me more about it?"

Whoosh!

When Lin Dong asked this question, Qin Yitian's expression involuntarily changed.

If there was anything Qin Yitian didn't want to talk about, it would unquestionably be this matter.

Lin Dong naturally noticed the change in Qin Yitian's expression and said, "Forget it, Yitian, if you don't want to talk about it, I'll ask something else."

However, Qin Yitian shook her head, "That won't do. I'm the one who proposed this game; if I don't answer the first question, wouldn't the rules of the game fall apart?"

"Plus, even though I don't want to talk about that matter, you are my husband, so it's not a problem to tell you."

She paused at this point, her thoughts drifting back to her childhood.

She remembered something she could never forget in this lifetime, something that always hurt her to recall.

"Dong Lin, do you know? For people like us from hidden clans or martial world families, or wealthy and powerful clans' offspring, if we are female, it may seem glamorous and enviable, but only ourselves know the bitterness behind it."

"If possible, I would rather be born into a moderately prosperous family, with parents who love me, grandparents who care for me... with the ability to choose my own life path, instead of having everything dictated by the clan."

"People like us, especially women. Born into a big family, though we can have the wealth ordinary people dream of, and easily obtain any material things we desire, we have no self..."

"From a young age, we must accept all arrangements from the clan! If you have a martial gift, the clan will arrange for you to learn martial arts in the most severe and cruel ways to train you. If you show a business gift instead of a martial gift, the clan will arrange for you to learn business in the most relentless way..."

"If you lack any kind of gift but are pretty, the clan will groom you into a socialite. You will need to deal with various men, flatter those boys from big families, or wushu experts."

"My mother was precisely this kind of person. She was born into the Hidden Qin Clan, but unfortunately, she had no martial gift, no business gift, no other talents, only a beautiful face like a celestial beauty. Thus, her life trajectory was arranged by the clan to become a socialite in the Qin Family's mundane world."

"Her job was to win over those martial arts geniuses and socialize with those noble families on behalf of the Qin Family in the mundane world."

"Before she met my father, she lived like a puppet, although unhappy, she buried her head and followed the clan's orders, doing those polite but insincere things."

"However, once a woman falls in love, when she loves another man, if she has to smile for other men and deal with them, it feels worse than death."

"My mother fell for my father in her best years, when she was twenty-six!"

"But my father is just an ordinary person! He is a scholar, good at painting, writing, and composing poetry. If it were ancient times, he might have the chance to top the imperial examination and bring glory to his ancestors... But in modern times, these abilities only suffice to support himself."

"Even if he paints, becoming the best in the Dragon Country. Even if he writes poetry, becoming the best in the Dragon Country. Even if he writes, achieving worldwide fame. But to the Qin Family, none of these matter at all."

"Someone like him was seen by the Qin Family as unworthy of my mother."

"In the eyes of the Qin Family, only a martial arts world talent, at least with the strength of an Earth Realm martial artist, or the heir of a wealthy family or tycoon could be worthy of my mother... And my father, in their eyes, was merely a 'poor scholar,' completely lacking eligibility."

"But my mother loved him deeply, almost like she was possessed. She secretly vowed to my father for life, giving him her body, secretly giving birth to my brother and me."

"This matter was only discovered by the clan after I was born! The old patriarch was furious, believing my mother had disgraced the Qin Family's reputation, and ordered her capture and confinement."

"Originally, the old patriarch wanted to execute my mother. However, he discovered that my brother possessed extraordinary martial talent. For my brother's sake, he spared my mother's life and took my brother as a disciple, teaching him the martial way."

"My brother didn't disappoint him; he entered the ranks of martial artists at the age of three, became a martial arts master at six, and reached sect master level at ten. For my brother's sake, the old patriarch never executed my mother."

"Of course, he could never let my mother and father be together!"

"Although my mother was confined within the clan for ten years, time didn't leave much trace on her. She remained extremely beautiful; in fact, with age she became even more mature than before."

"Once, a hidden clan's talent who reached Earth Realm martial artist level, a fourth stage grandmaster, at thirty came to visit our Qin Family. He instantly took a liking to my mother and proposed to marry her to the old patriarch."

"The old patriarch naturally agreed with pleasure! He promptly betrothed my mother to him."

"In the old patriarch's eyes, a second-hand woman already past thirty, marrying a thirty-year-old fourth-stage grandmaster martial artist from a hidden clan was considered a huge event, akin to a pie falling from the sky."

"But to my mother, it was a monumental disaster!"

"A woman who had already borne two children for another man, how could she be willing to marry someone else?"
