"Alright, senior brother, you go ahead and be busy."
Gu Luotang nodded. After all, the family's medical clinic was managed by Lu Zijin, and with his grandfather away, he was the only one to rely on.
Watching Lu Zijin drive away, Wan Yunting also drove Gu Luotang away from the airport. He then asked, "Luotang, do you have classes this afternoon?"
Gu Luotang turned to look at him and smiled, "Brother Yunting, today is Sunday, school is closed."
Wan Yunting paused and laughed, "Look at my memory. I've been so busy with association matters these past two days that I forgot what day it is. How about this, Sister Lu wants to go out shopping today, why don't you and Miaomiao accompany her? I still have some matters to attend to at the association."
"Okay, Sister Lu is staying at your place these days?" Gu Luotang asked.
"Yes, she learns kung fu from me every day..."
Wan Yunting nodded with a smile, naturally not daring to tell Gu Luotang that he and Lu Xiaodie were dual cultivating in bed...
Gu Luotang also called Qi Miaomiao at home, asking her to take a taxi to Sheng Tang Ding Mountain. She and Wan Yunting drove back together. When Lu Xiaodie saw Gu Luotang, she happily went to pull her, "Sister Luotang is here, it's so good."
"I'm sorry, Sister Lu. I've been busy these past few days and haven't had time to visit you." Gu Luotang pulled Lu Xiaodie to sit in the tea pavilion in the front yard and smiled, "But today is Sunday and I'm free. Brother Yunting said you wanted to go out shopping this afternoon. When Miaomiao arrives, we'll go out together."
"Sure, I was just worrying about having no one to accompany me around Hua Du City. Brother Wan is too busy every day."
Lu Xiaodie turned and glanced at Wan Yunting, who had already entered the villa. In front of Gu Luotang, she had to change her address to call him Brother Wan.
A moment later, Wan Yunting came out. He greeted them, "Luotang, Sister Lu, that car is at the door. You can drive it if you want to go out. I'll drive another car, and I'm leaving now."
"Okay, Brother Yunting, don't be too tired."
Gu Luotang nodded in response. Wan Yunting took the car keys and drove his silver Toyota sedan away to attend to his business.
"Sister Luotang, do you also want to accompany him?" Lu Xiaodie asked, drinking tea and looking at Gu Luotang's reluctant gaze, she said with a playful laugh.
"Sister Lu, I don't."
Gu Luotang was shy and reserved, naturally not as bold as Lu Xiaodie. Seeing that the girl was still embarrassed, she laughed heartily and teased with a wicked smile, "I can see through your little thoughts. Don't worry, after accompanying me shopping this afternoon, I'll let you accompany him properly tonight."
This made Gu Luotang's pretty face blush even more, making her even more embarrassed.
When Qi Miaomiao arrived, the three women drove the Maybach out. Lu Xiaodie drove, while Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao gave directions, and they began to shop in the bustling commercial districts of Hua Du City...
It was more like the women going out shopping rather than Lu Xiaodie surveying the market...
Meanwhile, Wan Yunting worked in the Chinese medicine department at noon, and in the afternoon, he was stationed in the Lingnan Chinese Medicine Association's office building, handling the association's daily affairs.
Don't think that a Chinese medicine association doesn't have much to do. Distributing tasks and various matters throughout the day were enough to keep Wan Yunting busy. He didn't get off work until 7:30 in the evening and returned home. He found Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao having dinner with Lu Xiaodie in the restaurant. Seeing him enter, the three women happily shouted, "Brother Yunting is back, come and eat quickly."
Wan Yunting nodded in response and sat beside Gu Luotang. Huang Guilan brought him a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Wan Yunting then said, "Aunt Lan, sit down and eat with us."
"Okay."
Huang Guilan nodded with a smile, already accustomed to Wan Yunting inviting her to eat with them.
Wan Yunting asked Lu Xiaodie and Gu Luotang about their shopping trip and market survey. Lu Xiaodie shook her head and said, "It's not ideal. People here don't drink yellow wine. I'm afraid if I open my small wine shop, it won't be popular."
"Indeed."
Wan Yunting nodded and laughed, "Yellow wine is only liked by people from your region. Most people here prefer beer, baijiu, red wine, or foreign wine, and drink very little yellow wine. The tastes are different, aren't they?"
"Yes, it seems my dream of a chain commercial empire has been shattered," Lu Xiaodie said helplessly, picking up her wine glass and finishing the baijiu in one gulp.
Wan Yunting smiled and said, "You can open a small wine shop. Besides selling yellow wine, can you add other drinks? As long as your management model is the same, create your wuxia theme. Young people nowadays like hanfu and wuxia styles. As long as you capture this market, your small wine shop will naturally not be too bad."
"Yes, Sister Lu. For example, our Fu Yuan Tea House in Hua Du City has an ancient street that is often visited by hanfu enthusiasts. The items sold on the ancient street are all related to this aspect, but it lacks a wuxia-style small wine shop like yours. If you open your small wine shop there, business won't be too bad," Qi Miaomiao suggested with shining eyes.
"Then why didn't you take me there today?"
Lu Xiaodie glanced at them. Qi Miaomiao giggled, "I thought you wanted to open the small wine shop in those prosperous areas, so I didn't take you."
Gu Luotang smiled and said, "How about this, Sister Lu? Tomorrow, let Miaomiao take you there to have a look. If it's suitable, you can try."
"Alright, it's settled then."
Lu Xiaodie nodded with a smile and then chuckled at Wan Yunting, "Brother Wan, it seems I still have to stay here for a few more days."
Wan Yunting rolled his eyes at her and smiled, "As you wish."
"Haha, you're a good friend, let's drink..."
Lu Xiaodie was excited, holding her wine glass, she clinked it with Wan Yunting, Gu Luotang, and Qi Miaomiao. Only Huang Guilan, who was quietly eating on the side, saw the young people drinking so happily and smiled kindly and warmly.
"By the way, Aunt Lan, didn't I give you two prescriptions before? Are you still keeping them?" Wan Yunting suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Huang Guilan.
"Yes, I'm keeping them."
Huang Guilan nodded. She had already heard from her daughter on the phone that a prescription written by Wan Yunting in calligraphy was worth several million, which had indeed shocked her. However, she was too embarrassed to ask her daughter to take the prescription and sell it.
"Let Xiaomin take the prescription out to sell," Wan Yunting said to her with a smile.
"Ah, this..."
Huang Guilan did not expect him to speak up and ask her to sell the prescription he had written.
"It's okay, Aunt Lan. I'll write you a new prescription later. You should change your prescription now," Wan Yunting said with a smile.
After all, he knew that Huang Guilan's family was in financial difficulty, her husband was disabled and confined to bed at home, requiring the mother and daughter to work to earn money. Otherwise, Huang Guilan wouldn't have endured her illness to come and be his nanny.
Filled with emotion, Huang Guilan's eyes turned red, and she repeatedly thanked him...
After dinner, seeing that it was getting late, Wan Yunting simply asked Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao to stay at home for the night.
Gu Luotang, who hadn't had a chance to be intimate with the man since returning from Shaoxing City, was naturally overjoyed.
Lu Xiaodie and Qi Miaomiao were considerate. Unable to sleep, they went to the second basement floor to watch movies and sing. However, in the master bedroom on the second floor, where Li Shuyun had lived before, there was another scene of spring blooming...
At six o'clock the next morning, Wan Yunting woke up on time and took Gu Luotang and Lu Xiaodie to Sheng Tang Ding Mountain to meditate and practice.
He had already unblocked Gu Luotang's Ren Du meridians before. Although she didn't have much time to practice on a regular basis.
So, she was only at the introductory stage of qi cultivation. However, with Wan Yunting, a martial arts master, guiding her hand-in-hand, coupled with their dual cultivation, Gu Luotang had already mastered qi circulation and cultivation.
Of course, her cultivation was not aimed at being a modern chivalrous woman who fought for justice like Lu Xiaodie, nor at fighting and killing outside like Wan Yunting. Gu Luotang's purpose was to treat illnesses and save people!
Some acupuncture techniques passed down from ancient times required qi as an auxiliary. When performed, the acupuncture greatly improved the treatment effect.
Therefore, Gu Luotang exercised her body every day during that period. Wan Yunting used acupuncture techniques to unblock her Ren Du meridians. Coupled with her cultivation of a heart-nourishing inner mental cultivation method from the Wuliang Daoist temple, focusing on cultivating qi and nourishing vitality, she was not aiming to improve fierce blade and fist techniques...
Lu Xiaodie's kung fu had advanced by leaps and bounds since breaking through to the late stage of Huajin and entering the early stage of Danjin. Especially when practicing Xiao Wuxiang Gong and Tianshan Zhemei Shou, the martial arts of the逍遥派 (Xiaoyao Sect) had become proficient.
Wan Yunting, who had become her teacher, looked at her with satisfaction. Although Lu Xiaodie was not a once-in-a-thousand-years or once-in-a-hundred-years martial arts genius, fortunately, Lu Xiaodie was obsessed with kung fu and willing to put in hard work to learn. Whenever she couldn't understand the profound inner mental cultivation methods, she would seek help from Wan Yunting, which greatly improved her cultivation speed.
"Haha, if I meet that old hag from the Hengshan Sect again, I won't be afraid of her!"
Feeling full of inexhaustible strength, Lu Xiaodie laughed heartily to the sky. She remembered being forced by the sect leader to marry his son and being confined for more than ten days. Lu Xiaodie had always harbored anger. The reason she practiced kung fu so diligently was for the day she could return to the Hengshan Sect to reclaim her honor!
"Good, if Sister Lu goes back to the Hengshan Sect for revenge, then call me. Brother will back you up."
Wan Yunting was also someone who loved to stir up trouble. Moreover, Lu Xiaodie was now considered his disciple. As a master, he naturally had to help her reclaim her honor.
"Haha, Brother is so loyal."
Lu Xiaodie excitedly patted Wan Yunting's arm and laughed loudly, causing Gu Luotang beside them to smile gently and shake her head, not knowing what to say to them.
"Let's go down the mountain."
Seeing that it was almost nine o'clock in the morning, and he still had to go to work at the Chinese medicine department, Wan Yunting took Gu Luotang and Lu Xiaodie down the mountain. They went upstairs to take a shower. As soon as he entered the room, he heard his phone ringing. Wan Yunting went to pick up the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and it was from abroad. This made Wan Yunting raise an eyebrow. Could it be Jiang Wenhao?
"Hello, who is it?"
He pressed the answer button and asked.
"Is this Mr. Wan?"
The voice on the other end was speaking English, and it was Lucy's anxious voice.
"Lucy?" Wan Yunting recognized the voice of Jiang Wenhao's foreign secretary. His heart suddenly sank, and he had a premonition that something bad had happened.
As expected, Lucy on the other end said anxiously, "Mr. Wan, Mr. Jiang has been kidnapped!"
