From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

Qiao Rulong realized that Wang Jiancheng was deliberately trying to provoke his hatred towards Xu Chunliang, hoping to use him to suppress Xu Chunliang to achieve his own goals. He thought to himself, do you really think I’ll fall for that? Although the Qiao Family had severed ties with Xu Chunliang, it didn’t mean he wanted to become Xu Chunliang’s public enemy; he knew very well that Xu Chunliang wasn’t his enemy.

Qiao Rulong said, "He’s Ye Qingya’s godbrother, and it’s only natural for Ye Qingya to help him since she is kind-hearted." But he couldn’t deny the discomfort buried deep in his heart; because of Ye Qingya, he had grown resentful towards Xu Chunliang.

Wang Jiancheng said in a low voice, "I always felt the reason wasn’t that simple, Brother Rulong, could he be taking advantage of Sister Qingya?"

Qiao Rulong said, "That’s possible. Jiancheng, if you really care about Ye Qingya, maybe you should give her a heads-up."

Wang Jiancheng realized that Qiao Rulong was throwing the ball back into his court: "She may not listen to me."

Qiao Rulong said, "If she listened to me, we wouldn’t be in this situation now. Anyway, I called you here today to introduce someone to you."

Wang Jiancheng said, "Who?"

Qiao Rulong picked up his phone and dialed a number: "Feiyang, you can come over now."

Hua Zhuyue returned, clearly a bit unhappy, because Ji Jiajia had stood her up. Ji Jiajia had agreed to meet Gao Xinhua and his wife with her, but when she went there, it was all for nothing. That girl was clearly toying with her on purpose.

Hua Zhuyue gritted her teeth and said, "I thought she had changed her ways, still loves to make trouble. Does she think I’d harm her? Does she really see me as some monstrous threat?"

Xu Chunliang looked at the sullen Hua Zhuyue and couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "What’s there to be mad about? You know her temperament, without causing trouble, she wouldn’t be herself."

Hua Zhuyue said, "Call her back, the more I think about it, the more I feel she should be brought back."

The events of last night made Hua Zhuyue uneasy. Wu Yuanyi’s target was her, and Ji Jiajia happened to be absent. If Wu Yuanyi had chosen Ji Jiajia as his target, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Xu Chunliang, however, felt Hua Zhuyue was making a big deal out of nothing; the best way to deal with Wu Yuanyi was to exploit his weaknesses.

Hua Zhuyue sighed and said, "Weaknesses? Wu Yuanyi’s biggest weakness was his beloved son, and since his son’s death, there’s nothing in this world that he holds dear."

Wu Yuanyi was a madman. Even someone as strong as Hua Zhuyue had to have a healthy fear of him.

Xu Chunliang said, "Everyone has a weakness. Didn’t you say he’s from the Weary Sect? Perhaps you can start from within the Weary Sect."

Hua Zhuyue said, "The Weary Sect is definitely siding with him, why would they help us?" After a moment’s thought she said, "We should have interrogated those three people properly last night, and shouldn’t have let them go so easily." Actually, the reason she decided to let them go after receiving Wu Yuanyi’s call was because she didn’t want to drag Xu Chunliang into it; the pain of losing his son had already turned Wu Yuanyi into a complete madman.

Xu Chunliang said, "Finding them isn’t difficult; their hiding place won’t be more than fifty kilometers away."

Hua Zhuyue was a bit surprised and said, "How do you know?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Heaven’s secrets cannot be revealed."

Hua Zhuyue had originally planned to leave that afternoon, but because Xu Chunliang was going to track last night’s intruders tonight, she decided to stay and go with him. She was curious about what method Xu Chunliang would use after all this time to track the three intruders.

After the sun set, Xu Chunliang chose to set off. Seeing the bats flying with the car, Hua Zhuyue started to understand, could Xu Chunliang be using these bats?

Xu Chunliang told Hua Zhuyue that based on the information he had, the three intruders split up and fled along different routes after leaving last night, but all ended up in the same place.

He deduced that their hiding place was within fifty kilometers by measuring the bats’ return time, as these bats’ flying speed wouldn’t exceed fifty kilometers per hour.

Driving past Dongzhou First Cemetery entering Fuli Avenue, they had now entered the Northern Anhui Territory. Although not far apart, the terrain had already changed. The area was mountainous, among which Canghuang Valley was the most famous.

Because the bats didn’t fly fast, Xu Chunliang also kept the car speed below fifty.

Hua Zhuyue recalled the scene at the Shennong Chinese Medicine Planting Base where Xu Chunliang controlled the scorpions, and thought of the weasel incident at the Dongzhou OMMIA Bar. He really seemed capable of anything.

Now Hua Zhuyue could confirm that the commotion leading to the closure of the SEVEN STAR Bar was Xu Chunliang’s doing, but that happened a long time ago, and now their relationship was no longer adversarial, but rather friends capable of mutual help. Hua Zhuyue looked at Xu Chunliang with gentle eyes, feeling that their relationship wasn’t just a simple friendship anymore.

In front of them, a fork in the road appeared. To the left was the road leading to the main entrance of Canghuang Valley, while the right road led to the back mountain.

The main entrance to Canghuang Valley had long been closed. The bats continued to fly ahead of the car; the darkness and lack of streetlights made it impossible for Hua Zhuyue to see the bats’ outlines, and she was curious as to how Xu Chunliang was tracking the bats’ flight path.

Xu Chunliang drove off the main road ahead; it was a sloping uphill mountain road, spiraling upward. After driving for another five minutes or so, the road reached its end.

The two of them got out of the car, seeing an abandoned stone house beside them. The moon hung high in the sky, its light enveloping the surrounding grass and trees in a layer of frost, and on the open ground north of the stone house was a minivan with an Anhui license plate.

Xu Chunliang didn’t move forward immediately; he chose to wait at the original spot. Not long after, a swarm of bats flew towards the stone house.

Hua Zhuyue, though courageous, had a deep-seated fear of bats and involuntarily moved a little closer to Xu Chunliang, softly saying, "Did you summon all of them?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Just a coincidence, I’m not that capable."

Hua Zhuyue spat, "Liar."

The bats flew into the forest, and Xu Chunliang and Hua Zhuyue followed in the direction of the flying bat group into the woods.

There was a narrow, winding path through the forest. This was already the back mountain of Canghuang Valley. After the scenic area was established, the local landscape management department had enclosed most of Canghuang Valley with walls and isolation nets. Charging for enclosed areas had become a trend in domestic scenic spots.

In this regard, the local government of Dongzhou was more generous, and most of the city’s scenic areas had been converted into open parks with free access for visitors.

Shortly after moving forward, they encountered an isolation net made of steel wire. Xu Chunliang didn’t take much effort to find a cut gap in the isolation net, indicating that someone had previously entered from here. He opened the edge of the gap and let Hua Zhuyue go first, then he followed in.

In the moonlight, the bats continued flying upwards. The back mountain was an undeveloped area, rarely visited by people on regular days, and there was no path visible for climbing the mountain here.

The mountain terrain of Canghuang Valley was not considered steep, which was no problem for Xu Chunliang. Hua Zhuyue also moved well. Although not as easily as walking on plain ground, she was still quite agile. The two climbed halfway up the mountain and saw that the bat group stopped flying and hovered up ahead.

Xu Chunliang knew they had reached their destination. He was the first to climb a rock over two meters high and then extended his hand to pull Hua Zhuyue up.

In the place where the bats hovered, wild grass was overgrown, hiding an extremely concealed cave deep within.

Inwardly, Hua Zhuyue sighed that if it weren’t for the bats leading the way, she would never have found this place on her own.

The two entered the cave and hadn’t walked far when they saw a faint light ahead.

Xu Chunliang and Hua Zhuyue simultaneously lightened their footsteps, stealthily approaching inside.

Voices of a conversation came from deep within the cave.

"Uncle, is there really no cure for my illness?"

Immediately followed by an old sigh: "What formidable enemy have you provoked? He buried poison needles in your meridians. Judging by your trio’s pulse, you won’t live past this winter."

Xu Chunliang was secretly astonished inside. He had planted the Autumn Death Needle in the bodies of these three infiltrators very discreetly, yet unexpectedly it was discovered by someone. It seemed there were indeed many hidden masters in the world.

"Uncle, save me!"

The person let out another sigh: "I don’t have that capability. To untie the bell, the bell ringer is needed."

"We almost caused the death of his woman when we sneaked into his house. How could he forgive us?"

"If you’d known it would come to this, why did you do it in the first place? Wu Yuanyi had sinister intentions and did many evil deeds. Why did you help the wicked?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Chunliang felt this person seemed to have some sense of justice.

"Uncle, is there no other way?"

The person pondered for a moment and said, "There might be a way. Hurry to Qiaocheng to find the Sect Leader. He might have a solution."

Hua Zhuyue was startled. Was the Sect Leader they mentioned Xiahou Zun, the Weary Sect Leader? Wasn’t this person supposed to be long dead? If Xiahou Zun was alive, it could be a good thing. His mediation could resolve the enmity with Wu Yuanyi.

The rules of the Weary Sect were stringent. If Wu Yuanyi refused to comply with Xiahou Zun’s orders, he would face expulsion from the Weary Sect and not be able to operate under the guise of a disciple of the Weary Sect again.

Xu Chunliang had a different thought; capture the king first to catch the thieves. The three people sent by Wu Yuanyi were all disciples of the Weary Sect. Tracing back to the source, he needed to seek an explanation from the Weary Sect. He was also curious about whether this Weary Sect Leader truly had the ability to break his Autumn Death Needle.

Autumn Death Needle was his unique creation, and only his successors could dispel it. Had his needle technique been passed down to this day?

"Uncle, we don’t know the Sect Leader. Why would he come to our rescue?"

"It’s not difficult. I’ll write a letter of introduction for you. Take this letter to the Qiaocheng Herbal Medicine Market for a visit. I believe he would do me a favor."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Hua Zhuyue took a step forward, wanting to see who was inside, and accidentally kicked a small stone.

"Who’s there?" came a stern shout from inside.

Xu Chunliang waved his hand, and dozens of bats fluttered towards the cave interior.

The people inside saw so many bats flying in and avoided them. One person said, "It seems we’ve intruded on their nest."

The second volume is finished, but I am not satisfied. I plan to scrap it and start over in the afternoon.
