"This Wan Yunting is truly despicable. How did I not realize he was recording a video back then...!"
Xian Yun said, his expression filled with anger, gritting his teeth. He hadn't expected Wan Yunting to use such a tactic to sow discord between the Wudang Sect and other sects.
"Master, should we call the leaders of the major sects and explain this matter?" Xian Yun asked immediately.
"No."
Zhong Yulong, with a somber face, shook his head and said, "If we call proactively, it will be admitting we're guilty, and the matter will become even more unclear!"
Xian Yun thought about it and felt it made sense, but he frowned and asked, "Master, what should we do now?"
"After all, the major sects will surely demand an explanation from us!"
Zhong Yulong sighed slightly, having calmed down a bit. He said, "You handle this. In short, we do nothing for now, and we don't care about the discussions of other sects. Explain it as it needs to be explained."
Xian Yun listened and nodded, understanding. After bowing to Zhong Yulong, he left.
Zhong Yulong, sitting cross-legged in meditation, wanted to close his eyes and continue his practice, but his mind was already in turmoil, and he couldn't meditate.
So, he suddenly opened his eyes, two fierce glints shooting out, and rose from his residence, heading towards a mountain called Gufeng Mountain behind the Wudang Sect...
Xu Yuxin and Chong Ling'er were about to look for him, but seeing Zhong Yulong heading towards a small path on Gufeng Mountain, they couldn't help but be surprised: "Is Master going to Gufeng Mountain?"
Xu Yuxin's willow-like eyebrows furrowed, and she murmured, "It seems Master is going to invite Senior Cao out of seclusion!"
...
Meanwhile, in the capital, Wan Yunting returned yesterday and today he was already at work at the Chinese Medicine Association's office. He was in Li Yuxiu's office, preparing for a free clinic event.
This free clinic event was mainly to organize colleagues from Chinese Medicine Associations across the country to go to rural towns to provide free consultations to ordinary people.
This matter was being handled by Li Yuxiu.
Next, Wan Yunting planned to return to Huadu City to start preparing for the establishment of a Chinese medicine hospital.
Just then, a call came in from an unfamiliar number. He answered and said, "Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, Abbot Wan, I am Zhao Yiwu, the grand-disciple of Martial Aunt Xian'er!" Zhao Yiwu said with a smile.
"Oh, Heavenly Master Zhao Yiwu..."
Wan Yunting's eyes narrowed, and he immediately knew why he was calling. He smiled and asked, "May I ask what business you have with me?"
Zhao Yiwu got straight to the point and said, "Abbot Wan, we, the major sects, have seen the video you posted. We just wanted to ask if Sect Leader Zhong privately contacted you about the Demonic Pool of the Demonic Sect?"
"Yes!"
Wan Yunting was also straightforward.
Zhao Yiwu's heart trembled, and he asked, "So, Abbot Wan, you told Sect Leader Zhong the whereabouts of the Demonic Pool of the Demonic Sect?"
Wan Yunting smiled and said, "You can go and talk to Sect Leader Zhong about that!"
This made Zhao Yiwu's expression falter. Just as he was about to say something, Wan Yunting smiled and said, "Sorry, Heavenly Master Zhao, I have something to attend to, so I'll hang up now..."
"Hello..."
Looking at the hung-up phone, Zhao Yiwu couldn't help but sigh. He had no choice but to first find his senior brother, the sect leader, to discuss the matter, and then he synchronized a video call with the leaders and representatives of other sects, explaining what he had discussed with Wan Yunting.
Liu Bing snorted, "Let's each send people to the Wudang Sect to personally ask Zhong Yulong about this matter!"
"Yes, I agree with Sect Leader Liu," the other sect leaders said in succession.
At the same time, Liu Bing was preparing to set off for the capital to find Wan Yunting to resolve the issue of his son, Liu Zaiyi...
Wan Yunting, on the other side, was about to put away his phone when it rang again. Looking at it, he saw it was Zhang Xian'er's number, which made him raise his eyebrows. He answered and said, "Xian'er, did your grand-uncle ask you to call me to ask about the Demonic Pool?"
"What Demonic Pool? I wanted to tell you that I've arrived at the Beijing International Airport. Can you come and pick me up?" At this moment, Zhang Xian'er, wearing a plain white robe, was walking out of the airport, holding a hamburger and eating while on the phone.
"Uh..."
Wan Yunting's expression froze, and he asked, "Why are you in the capital? Are you looking for me to hang out?"
"Oh, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and come pick me up. It's so cold."
Zhang Xian'er hung up the phone, shivered, and headed into the airport lounge. It was too cold outside.
"Who was that?"
Li Yuxiu, who was standing nearby, heard Wan Yunting on the phone and asked.
"A fiery girl from Longhu Mountain. She's at the airport and asked me to pick her up," Wan Yunting said with a smile.
Li Yuxiu's beautiful eyes stared at him. Wan Yunting then realized and quickly waved his hands to explain, "It's not what you think. At most, we're just friends."
Li Yuxiu lowered her head and said, "You go ahead and take care of your business."
"Okay, then we'll have dinner together tonight," Wan Yunting said with a smile, then turned and left, preparing to go to the airport to pick up Zhang Xian'er...
As soon as he walked out the door, he saw a young man in a black overcoat standing by the road at the entrance of the association. Wan Yunting was surprised to see him: "Brother Bingyi, why are you here?"
"Brother Yunting..."
Kong Bingyi quickly walked up to greet him and said to Wan Yunting, "Brother Yunting, I have something to talk to you about. Are you free now?"
"Hmm, let's talk in the car first."
Wan Yunting said this, but he noticed that Kong Bingyi's face was pale, and his aura was not right.
"Get in my car..."
Kong Bingyi led Wan Yunting to his car and then took off his mask. His face was pale, and he was very weak. He said, "Brother Yunting, I think I'm sick. I need your help to diagnose my symptoms."
Wan Yunting nodded and said, "Give me your hand, I'll take your pulse..."
As he spoke, Kong Bingyi extended his wrist for him to take his pulse. Wan Yunting asked, "You're not feeling well, why didn't you go to the hospital for a check-up?"
Kong Bingyi said, "I went yesterday, but they couldn't find anything. The doctor just said I was tired."
"But I can feel it myself, my body is not just overly tired!"
"Hmm, it's indeed not overwork, but your 'that' is too excessive!" Wan Yunting said rather directly.
Kong Bingyi's pale face stiffened, and he didn't understand: "Brother Yunting, can you explain it more clearly?"
Wan Yunting said, "Have you been with your girlfriend recently?"
Kong Bingyi finally understood, his expression a little embarrassed, but he nodded: "Yes, we have been together, but Brother Yunting, I haven't had a girlfriend for a long time, and my body is usually fine."
"Besides, my girlfriend and I rarely have intimacy, so how could it be because of 'that' that my body is weak?"
Wan Yunting released his wrist, shook his head slightly, and smiled, "You, you've had your essence drained by her!"
"What, essence?"
This statement made Kong Bingyi's pupils widen. He looked at Wan Yunting in disbelief and said, "Brother Yunting, you know I don't believe in such things!"
Wan Yunting nodded and said, "I understand, but your girlfriend is indeed not simple!"
Kong Bingyi frowned and said, "Please enlighten me, Brother Yunting!"
Wan Yunting looked at him and, after a moment of thought, nodded and said, "I can only tell you, she is not human!"
"Impossible...!"
Kong Bingyi shook his head without hesitation, "How could she not be human? She clearly has warmth..."
Wan Yunting waved his hand and said, "I mean a demon!"
"Demon?"
Kong Bingyi was even more incredulous. He had thought Wan Yunting was referring to a ghost.
"The last time I met your girlfriend at your house, I could feel a demonic aura on her. Seeing your current symptoms now confirms my judgment."
Wan Yunting said with a serious expression, looking at Kong Bingyi earnestly, "Brother Bingyi, some things you have to believe. Moreover, you know better than anyone what kind of person I am, so I don't need to explain much to you.
"And you came to find me today, presumably you also have some suspicions in your heart, so you trust me, right?"
These words made Kong Bingyi sigh. Because he had been with his girlfriend Fan Sien for some time, his physical condition had been getting worse, and he often had strange nightmares at night, waking him up frequently.
Looking at Fan Sien, who was sleeping beside him, Kong Bingyi inexplicably felt a strange sense of fear!
