I Have A Dual World Seal

After a shared meal, Gu Tingting got familiar with everyone, and to her surprise and delight, she gained the opportunity to occasionally ask Si Lingxi for zither skill tips, which made her both surprised and excited.

After lunch, when they saw off the grateful Gu Tingting, Zhao Xiaodao didn’t leave with them.

"Sister Wan, Sister Wan! Was it you guys who created the Red Chess River?"

Zhao Xiaodao’s expression was full of excitement, "Oh my God! It stretches six thousand kilometers, nine billion cubic meters of water resources per year, and the capacity to transform two hundred million acres of fertile land!"

Not just Zhao Xiaodao, the data is probably memorized by everyone in the whole country by now.

Zhao Xiaodao said, "You can now take a direct ship ride to travel to Kashgar in Jiang Province from the Yangtze River estuary. I heard the bookings are full, and it’s scheduled a year in advance!"

Although the fever over the Red Chess River has cooled a bit, the recent opening ceremony brought the heat right back to its peak.

Checking in at the Red Chess River has become the hottest video theme lately.

Everyone was shocked by how quietly the state had managed to complete a project of such magnitude.

Compared to ordinary people, even though Zhao Xiaodao had guessed the truth, she was still very surprised.

Six thousand kilometers! It’s like recreating the Yellow River!

Even in the historical myths of Hua Country, there’s nothing so exaggerated. The combat power to punch a planet into pieces is something that only started appearing in modern web novels.

Ever since Si Lingxi snapped her fingers and wiped out ten thousand people, Zhao Xiaodao’s worldview had been refreshed once again.

Lin Wan lifted her chin, motioning to Lu Zheng, "Ask him. He’s the one who excavated the Red Chess River."

Zhao Xiaodao looked at Lu Zheng, her eyes glowing.

Lu Zheng shrugged, "It’s not as impressive as you think. I worked on it for two months."

"Two months?"

"Yeah." Lu Zheng nodded, "Six thousand kilometers in two months, requiring drilling only about a hundred kilometers of riverbed each day—it’s easy and simple, isn’t it understandable now?"

Zhao Xiaodao nodded, pretending to understand... but seriously, no way!

Even without much schooling, she’s watched science videos and knows that digging a canal isn’t just simple excavation.

She used to look at people like Lu Zheng with admiration, thinking immortals could fly and disappear, live forever, and be carefree.

But she never thought that people like Lu Zheng could also break mountains and carve rivers, building a grand canal for the country, saving four trillion.

But this also means...

"The powers that be know about you guys?" Zhao Xiaodao asked Lin Wan.

Lin Wan nodded, "There’s a channel of communication."

With one sentence, the relationship between the two sides was made clear.

Zhao Xiaodao, being perceptive, immediately understood what Lin Wan meant, and then said, "So them inviting Gu Tingting and me to the gala, does that mean they’re also trying to ingratiate themselves with you?"

"Oh my!" Zhao Xiaodao laughed and hugged Lin Wan’s arm, "I’m benefiting again!"

Lin Wan shook her head, "Even based solely on fame and talent, you two are entitled to attend the gala."

"But that’s still not safe. Young people today have new idols," Zhao Xiaodao laughed.

Lin Wan shrugged, "Inviting you is the safer bet. If they invite trendy idols, who knows when they’ll cause a scandal."

...

In the afternoon, Zhao Xiaodao went shopping with the three women, while Lu Zheng continued his medical career in Tonglin County.

Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao hadn’t returned yet. He went back to the modern times to entertain guests at noon, and in the afternoon, he needed to return to Renxin Hall to work.

"Who could be more miserable than me..."

After seeing one patient and noticing the five or six others still waiting, Lu Zheng shook his head and prepared to speed things up.

Just then, Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow and looked towards the west of the city.

Moments later, Du Yueyao walked in gracefully.

"Brother Lu! Caiyi!"

Seeing Lu Zheng looking at her, Du Yueyao’s face bloomed with a smile, and she quickened her steps, at the same time looking around and asking, "Sister Qingyan hasn’t returned yet?"

"No." Lu Zheng shook his head, "Why did you come back a day early?"

Du Yueyao’s smile was unstoppable, "I’ve been at home for ten days already."

Lu Zheng couldn’t help but smile, "So..."

Du Yueyao nodded repeatedly, indicating Lu Zheng’s guess was correct.

Yang Caiyi approached holding a cup of tea and handed it to Du Yueyao, "Congratulations, Sister Yueyao!"

"Thank you!" Du Yueyao took the cup, patted Yang Caiyi’s head, and whispered, "Your cultivation speed is even faster than mine. Keep working hard, and soon you’ll be riding clouds and driving mist."

Yang Caiyi nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with yearning.

Yes, Du Yueyao could fly now; Lu Zheng had just realized it when he glanced towards the west of the city. Du Yueyao had flown back invisibly, descended in the closest alley, and only then revealed herself before entering the clinic.

"Doctor Du!"

When Du Yueyao finished talking with Lu Zheng, several patients nearby greeted her.

"Elder Li, looks like you’ve caught a cold again."

"Landlord Zhao, here to get more health supplements? Although our medicine has few side effects, it’s not completely free of them. Can’t you control yourself a little? Exercise for five days and rest for at least two!"

"Aunt Liu, why are you here again? I remember your stomach issue was cured already, right?"

Du Yueyao chatted skillfully with the patients while washing her hands in the copper basin in the clinic, then naturally sat down next to Lu Zheng, ready to work.

From Lu Zheng’s perspective, Du Yueyao’s medical skill and consultation abilities were increasingly similar to Liu Qingyan’s.

"You’re back and working already? Aren’t you going home to rest for half a day?" Lu Zheng laughed and asked, "If your parents find out how hard you’re being worked here, won’t they come to Tonglin County to fight for your justice?"

At this, Du Yueyao laughed, "I had ten days of rest in Yizhou already."

With Du Yueyao at work, the waiting patients were quickly attended. Landlord Zhao happily approached her, extending his hand, "Doctor Xiao Du, I have no choice! I’ve married nine concubines and fathered twelve daughters. I, Old Zhao, have to at least have a son to inherit the family business. Otherwise, wouldn’t it all go to those drooling cousins of mine?"

Du Yueyao pursed her lips, took his pulse, then casually wrote a prescription, slightly adjusting a few herbs, "Having a boy or a girl, what’s the big deal? My dad only has me as his daughter. If you marry your daughters well, your business will only prosper more."

Saying this, Du Yueyao unconsciously glanced at Lu Zheng for no reason.

But Lu Zheng was busy writing a prescription for another patient, explaining the usage and dosage.

"I do think so," sighed Landlord Zhao, "but I’m afraid if they’re not compatible, they’ll swallow up my business. Where in the world is there such a gem of a son-in-law?"

"That depends on your eye for people and luck. Maybe they don’t even find your daughters or your business appealing!"

Du Yueyao shrugged, smacked the prescription into Landlord Zhao’s arms, "Go get your medicine. Next!"
