"So amazing..."
In a local resident's home, Guli, dressed in a long local skirt, gazed with her beautiful large eyes at Wan Yunting as he cured the long-term bedridden patient with acupuncture. Her eyes were filled with admiration and excitement.
She said, "Chairman Wan, everyone says your medical skills are superb and miraculous, but I didn't quite believe it."
"But now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I know what true medical skill is. You are truly incredible."
"Indeed..."
President Bahar and the other members were astonished by Wan Yunting's acupuncture technique, which had restored a gravely ill patient to health. Their jaws had practically dropped.
This was because Guli recognized the patient. The patient had previously sought treatment from their Bahar family, but had not been cured.
Now that Wan Yunting had healed him, Guli and the others were understandably shocked.
"Yes, I will write out his case and treatment plan in detail for you to reference," Wan Yunting smiled and said to them.
"That's wonderful..."
Guli became even happier. She hadn't expected Wan Yunting to be so generous, teaching them without any reservations.
In fact, Guli had been following Wan Yunting for the past two days, practicing medicine for free, and had learned a lot of new medical knowledge from him. Wan Yunting had also unreservedly taught Guli his medical insights and experiences in detail.
The main reason was that Wan Yunting recognized Guli's passion and dedication to the profession, as well as her good talent. Knowing that she wanted to learn, Wan Yunting naturally guided her.
Guli felt the same way. She initially thought Wan Yunting was only a few years older than her, but she hadn't expected his medical skills to be so formidable. Her naturally proud disposition had gradually been subdued by their interactions over these past few days.
Consequently, Guli looked at Wan Yunting, her eyes practically sparkling. Suddenly, she understood why there were so many rumors about him.
Indeed, for such an outstanding man, what woman wouldn't be attracted to him?
In the evening, Wan Yunting, President Bahar, and Guli returned to the temporary residence with the local residents. Zhang Xian'er, that girl, had been there for the past few days, doing nothing but eating and sleeping. Guli found her difficult to understand, but couldn't help asking, "Yunting, isn't she your assistant?"
"No."
Wan Yunting shook his head and smiled, "She just came along to play."
Given Zhang Xian'er's appetite, Wan Yunting didn't know how much the resident family had to spend on food to prepare meals for her every day.
Guli playfully teased, "If not an assistant, then she's your girlfriend?"
Wan Yunting paused, then shook his head and smiled, "She's just a normal friend."
"Is that so?"
Guli glanced at him, her face clearly showing disbelief.
Wan Yunting smiled and didn't explain further, heading back to his room to make a phone call...
This free medical outreach activity was scheduled to last a week. Wan Yunting participated throughout, and the impact was very significant, especially his medical skills, which saved many patients with serious illnesses, earning him the welcome of the local populace.
By the last day of the outreach, Wan Yunting walked out of the village and ascended a nearby mountain. His gaze was fixed on the mountain ranges appearing in the distance to the southwest, which were precisely the Gongge'er Peaks!
"What are you looking at?"
Just then, Guli called out to him.
Wan Yunting turned his head. He looked at her in her red dress, her tall figure, and her angelically beautiful face. Her smile was a little playful. Having become quite familiar with Wan Yunting during this time, she had become very lively and cheerful.
"Gongge'er Peaks!"
Wan Yunting pointed at the mountain ranges ahead.
Guli also looked at the distant snow-capped mountains and said, "The Gongge'er Peaks are the highest mountain range in the Kunlun Mountains. The peaks are perpetually snow-covered, with an altitude of over seven thousand meters. Very few people can reach the Gongge'er Peaks."
"However, I went there once with my father a few years ago, searching for the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus!"
"You've been?"
Wan Yunting looked at her in surprise. Guli nodded and smiled, "It was too difficult to travel, all glaciers, very dangerous. I almost didn't make it back. Hmm, you want to go?"
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded, then asked, "Did you find the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus then?"
"No."
Guli shook her head and sighed, "The Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus is a divine medicine. It's very difficult to find nowadays, extremely rare."
Wan Yunting nodded and said, "I came here actually to search for the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus at the Gongge'er Peaks, so I plan to go after the free medical outreach ends."
Guli looked at him and asked, "Why do you want to find the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus yourself?"
Wan Yunting smiled, "For such a divine medicine, of course, I must see it myself to make this trip worthwhile."
Guli suddenly smiled playfully, "Do you need a guide?"
Wan Yunting shook his head and smiled, "If it's convenient, could you draw me a map and explain the route you took with your father to the Gongge'er Peaks?"
Seeing that he refused, Guli felt a little disappointed. She nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll draw it for you later."
"Okay, thank you..."
Wan Yunting smiled. Of course, he couldn't take Guli with him.
After all, his trip to the Gongge'er Peaks was to search for the Demonic Pool of the Demonic Cult, which was dangerous. Wan Yunting did not want to risk taking any unrelated person with him.
The two chatted for a while longer before returning to the residents' home. Guli went directly to Wan Yunting's room and began drawing the route she had taken with her father to the Gongge'er Peaks, meticulously detailing the dangerous areas for Wan Yunting to remember and avoid.
"Especially this mountain range, it's the most dangerous area of the Gongge'er Peaks, filled with glaciers and treacherous terrain. You must not venture in rashly," Guli said, marking the dangerous areas on the map of the Gongge'er Peaks for him to remember.
"Mmm..."
Wan Yunting stared at the map, frowning as he contemplated his plan for entering the Gongge'er Peaks.
He was devising a scheme to deal with the various sects and the people of the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult!
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing him staring blankly at the map for a long time, Guli turned her large eyes to him. She found his profile very handsome, especially the masculine aura he exuded, which, like a wild beast, continuously stirred Guli's youthful heart...
"Nothing..."
Wan Yunting, snapping back to reality, turned his head. He found Guli's beautiful large eyes fixed on him, her gaze filled with a hazy and admiring look, as if she were entranced...
"Chairman Wan..."
At that moment, President Bahar called out. Upon entering, he was stunned to see Wan Yunting and his daughter Guli gazing into each other's eyes.
"Dad..."
Guli instantly came to her senses, her pretty face flushing crimson.
Wan Yunting also felt a bit awkward. Seeing Bahar standing at the doorway, he asked, "Yes, what is it, President Bahar?"
"It's like this, today's free medical outreach activity is ending, and I wanted to invite Chairman Wan to share his experiences," Bahar said with an awkward smile.
"Sure, I'll be right there..."
Saying so, Wan Yunting went out.
Guli lowered her head, looking guilty, and also tried to slip away, but was stopped by Bahar, who asked, "Guli, just now, you and Chairman Wan..."
"Dad, we didn't do anything, really," Guli quickly shook her head to explain.
But how could Bahar not see his daughter's thoughts? She had been following Wan Yunting all week, and he could tell his daughter's hidden feelings just from her eyes.
"Sigh..." Bahar sighed helplessly, not knowing what else to say.
Wan Yunting shared his experiences and the importance of this free medical outreach activity with other members of the association, essentially giving a long speech...
However, that evening, the local villagers invited Wan Yunting and Bahar's group to a feast, holding a traditional ethnic banquet with all sorts of delicious food. Zhang Xian'er was naturally the happiest.
The next day, Bahar and the members of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, including Guli, were to return. However, Wan Yunting and Zhang Xian'er remained!
"Young Master, those members of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association have left, but Wan Yunting and Zhang Xian'er are still in Ketou County!" A subordinate of the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult immediately reported Wan Yunting's situation to Jian Shisan.
Upon hearing this news, Jian Shisan immediately stood up, his eyes shining. He smiled and said, "That fellow, he's indeed not just here for free medical outreach!"
At this time, the people from various sects who had been tracking Wan Yunting also learned this news!
Immediately, people from the various sects were invigorated, and even their sect leaders immediately gathered their forces, all heading towards Ketou County...!
The next day, at the entrance of the house where Wan Yunting was staying, two people arrived: Chen Qiuyun and Zhou Ruoxi!
"They're here."
Wan Yunting greeted them and led them into the room...
However, upon seeing Zhang Xian'er, Zhou Ruoxi's autumn-like eyes cast a strange glance at the man...
"Cough, don't overthink it."
Wan Yunting pulled Zhou Ruoxi and whispered, "The Old Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain passed away, and he entrusted her to my care."
"What, the Old Celestial Master passed away?"
Zhou Ruoxi was surprised. She only learned this now, but then she looked at Wan Yunting strangely and said, "But why would the Old Celestial Master entrust her to your care?"
Wan Yunting showed a helpless smile and said, "This matter concerns Xian'er's background. I'll tell you later. Hmm, Sister Qiuyun, you've had a hard journey."
Chen Qiuyun shook her head slightly as she tidied her things...
Zhang Xian'er, sitting on the sofa, turned to look at them and asked Wan Yunting, "Are they also going into the mountains?"
"Yes."
Wan Yunting gave the girl a look, then took Zhou Ruoxi and Chen Qiuyun out for lunch and a brief chat...
However, at the entrance, another group of people appeared, led by the current acting leader of the Demonic Cult, Ye Qianqian!
