"Master, are you wanting to..."
Lu Qing saw the expression on his master's face and understood somewhat.
"Judging by our village's situation, the other villages are likely not faring well either.
I'll walk around first, to see the extent of the impact the changes in heaven and earth have had on ordinary people.
It's better to prepare early, to avoid panic when troubles arise."
The elder doctor spoke with a somewhat heavy tone.
"Master, don't worry, I'll look after the home."
Lu Qing nodded his head.
He knew his master had the benevolence of a doctor; even after becoming a cultivator, he had not changed this disposition.
He certainly would not stand idly by and watch ordinary people suffer.
In the past two years, the master would occasionally take him to walk around the neighboring villages, providing free consultations to poor solitary elders who couldn't afford treatment.
It was normal to be concerned about being away for so long.
