When faced with Bai Ruoqi's praise, Wu Tian simply smiled and said, "Ruoqi, please don't flatter me."
"We're all so familiar, why go through this charade?"
Bai Ruoqi shook her head and said, "No, I truly think you're very capable."
"Because I heard about the difficulty of that competition. Didn't you have to defeat all the geniuses in the Southern competition zone?"
"To stand out among so many geniuses, aren't you impressive?"
Wu Tian didn't want to boast about himself, so he just continued to smile and didn't reply to Bai Ruoqi anymore.
Bai Ruoqi then asked, "By the way, why are you here to see me today? I assume you're not just here to chat, right?"
Wu Tian nodded and said, "You're right. I did come to tell you something, which is that I need to leave for a while."
"During this time, you must take good care of yourself and absolutely must not get into any trouble."
"Leave?" Hearing Wu Tian's words, Bai Ruoqi was stunned.
She quickly asked, "No, why do you suddenly have to leave? Did something happen?"
Wu Tian said with a wry smile, "If I had to say something happened, then I suppose it did."
"But I can't tell you what happened for now. I can only say it's a very serious matter, even related to my background."
"Related to your background?" Bai Ruoqi was even more shocked.
As far as she knew, Wu Tian was an orphan who was raised by an old woman from Peach Blossom Village. There shouldn't be any issues with that.
But how could it involve Wu Tian's background?
She quickly pressed on, "Do you know who your parents are?"
Wu Tian said, "Not exactly, but I at least have a clue."
"My background might involve many things, and I have to unravel them one by one."
"So, I have to leave for a while to do some things."
"When I return, I'll tell you everything."
Bai Ruoqi was a smart girl.
When she heard Wu Tian say this, she understood the importance and secrecy of the matter.
So, she didn't press further, but nodded and said, "I understand, but you must be careful."
"If you have any problems, call me. No matter where you are, I will help you."
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Thank you. Don't worry, I'll take care of myself."
"Also, I actually came to you for another reason. I want you to use your intelligence network to help me find a few addresses."
Bai Ruoqi nodded and said, "No problem, what addresses are you looking for?"
Wu Tian mentioned the Five Sects and Six Teachings, and then said, "Please help me find the addresses of these sects. I need to visit them on this trip."
After hearing the names of the sects Wu Tian mentioned, Bai Ruoqi's brows furrowed slightly.
"The sects you mentioned are the Five Sects and Six Teachings, right? They are affiliated sects of the Divine Doctor Sect. Why are you looking for them?"
"You even know about these?" Wu Tian was extremely surprised by this.
Bai Ruoqi said, "I've heard about the Five Sects and Six Teachings before. After all, they're not exactly top-secret."
"But why are you looking for them? I have a feeling it's not for anything good."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Oh, why are you asking again?"
"As I said, you'll know everything after it's done. So, for now, please just give me the addresses."
Bai Ruoqi's expression became a little solemn.
If Wu Tian had only asked for one sect, it would have been one thing, but asking for all the Five Sects and Six Teachings made it complicated.
Perhaps all of this might even be related to the Divine Doctor Sect.
Could it be that Wu Tian's background was somehow connected to the Divine Doctor Sect?
The more Bai Ruoqi thought about it, the stranger it seemed, to the point where she became a little absent-minded and didn't answer Wu Tian for a moment.
Seeing this, Wu Tian knew what Bai Ruoqi was thinking and said helplessly, "Sigh, don't overthink it. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Bai Ruoqi snapped back to attention, then gazed at Wu Tian and said, "Wu Tian, I can give you the addresses, but you must promise me that you'll tell me if there's any danger."
"Although our family is not as influential as it used to be, we still have considerable sway in the Bai family. I can definitely help you solve most problems."
Wu Tian knew that Bai Ruoqi was looking out for him, so he nodded and said, "I understand. Besides, do you think I'm an idiot? Why wouldn't I ask for help if it's available?"
Bai Ruoqi laughed at Wu Tian's words and rolled her eyes, saying, "Who knows? Maybe you really are an idiot."
After the joke, she became serious again and said, "Regarding the addresses of the Five Sects and Six Teachings, I can write them down for you now. Wait a moment."
With that, she returned to her desk, took out a piece of paper, wrote for a while, and then handed the note to Wu Tian.
Wu Tian looked at the note and indeed, all the sect addresses were written on it in elegant handwriting.
It was thorough; even an idiot could find the places with this note.
Wu Tian looked over all the addresses and couldn't help but be a little astonished.
Excluding the Qinglian Sect, the remaining ten addresses were very far apart. Basically, each sect was in a different province; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were scattered across the country.
After he visited all these addresses, he would have basically traveled across a large part of China.
But whatever, this trip could be considered a tour to relax and clear his mind.
He put away the note and said to Bai Ruoqi, "Thank you. You've been a great help this time."
Bai Ruoqi said, "By the way, Wu Tian, when are you planning to leave? How about we have a meal together first!"
Wu Tian said, "I should be leaving tomorrow. I'll go to the nearest province, Province A, first."
"As for lunch, let's have it at noon, because I need to rush back and explain some things to the village."
Bai Ruoqi teased, "You're quite the busy person now."
"You pretended to be an ordinary village doctor for over twenty years. What, are you tired of playing along now? So you're revealing yourself, telling the world you're actually a very capable person?"
Wu Tian smiled helplessly, thinking, what could he do? He really was an ordinary person before. It was only in the last six months that he suddenly gained spiritual energy!
After that, they didn't say much more.
It was exactly noon, so they decided to go out for lunch.
But just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a secretary, sweating profusely, rushed in hurriedly.
