"It's hard to unite these sects," Xu Yuxin couldn't help but sigh.
Senior disciple Xian Yun, clad in a gray Daoist robe with an handsome face and a kind smile, also shook his head helplessly and said, "Everyone in these sects only cares about their own interests. Who has the heart to think about uniting together to fight the Heavenly Eye Divine Master Cult?"
Second senior disciple Qi Xiu asked doubtfully, "Senior disciple brother, did the Hua Shan Sect leader secretly send people to find Wan Yunting?"
Xian Yun nodded and said, "The third day after we left the Wuliang Daoist Temple, Wan Yunting descended the mountain and encountered two powerful individuals. Later, according to investigations, they were the previous generation's elders of the Hua Shan Sect, Feng Guanyu and Gu Bao. However, they were both defeated by Wan Yunting!"
Third senior sister Xu Yuxin frowned and asked, "What realm were those two seniors in?"
Xian Yun said, "At least Martial Dao Gang Jin!"
"Tsk tsk."
Qi Xiu couldn't help but exclaim, "That Wan Yunting is truly monstrous. Back in the Death Valley of Kunlun Mountain, he single-handedly subdued Yuan Guowu and killed Yan Changjian."
"Now he can even defeat two old seniors from the Hua Shan Sect. I really don't know how he learned his martial arts."
Xu Yuxin said, "Don't forget, he inherited the skills of the Xiaoyao Sect, and now he has obtained the martial arts secret manual of the Snow Mountain Sect. His skills naturally progress rapidly."
Qi Xiu nodded and said to their master, Zhong Yulong, who was sitting on a chair with his forehead supported by his hand, "Master, aren't the people from those sects digging a pit for us? Why should we go to the capital to talk to Wan Yunting? Isn't this asking us to offend him directly?"
Xu Yuxin's beautiful eyes flashed with ferocity, saying, "Especially that Liu Bing, he's incredibly cunning. He's very active when it comes to good things, but he runs faster than a rabbit when it comes to bad things. Truly a sly person."
This remark made senior disciple brother Xian Yun and Qi Xiu shake their heads and smile, saying, "Since our Wudang Sect is the leader of the Martial Arts Association, if we don't go talk to Wan Yunting, who else would dare to go?"
Xu Yuxin nodded and said to their master, "Master, although they verbally agreed without hesitation, it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven when the time comes for them to collectively resist the Heavenly Eye Divine Master Cult."
"Who said it wasn't so."
Qi Xiu shook his head and couldn't help but complain, "At that time, they'll find excuses."
Zhong Yulong was also very troubled by this issue. He knew that it was impossible to unite the major sects. Even if he, the president of the Martial Arts Association, set an example, he might not be able to change the people of those sects.
Zhong Yulong felt infinitely helpless, knowing he couldn't change anything.
"Xian Yun, later you take Zi Qing to the capital to find Wan Yunting and try to talk to him," Zhong Yulong said.
"Okay, Master."
Xian Yun nodded...
Far away in the capital, at the entrance of the Ouyang mansion, people were constantly coming and going. These were the people who had specifically come to seek medical treatment from Wan Yunting. They all arrived in luxury cars, indicating their distinguished status. They were all from the upper class.
"Oh, Young Master Zhang is here too?"
"Everyone is saying that after taking the medicine prescribed by Doctor Wan, one becomes as fierce as a tiger in that regard. How could I not come and see!"
"Haha, I can guarantee from personal experience that you'll be able to make those women scream for mercy in bed..."
Several young men in designer clothing happily emerged from the gate and drove away in their sports cars.
At noon, after Wan Yunting finished seeing the last person in line, he asked those with appointments to come back in the afternoon. He then went back to have lunch with Fang Yanxi and his mother. He didn't see his sister, Ouyang Fanmeng, and asked, "What has Fanmeng been doing lately?"
"Practicing the piano."
His mother, Xia Xiangyun, who was helping Fang Yanxi take care of the children at home, smiled and said, "She said she wants to participate in a piano competition, so she's been practicing recently."
Fang Yanxi smiled and said, "I've heard Fanmeng play, and she truly has the talent."
Xia Xiangyun nodded and smiled, "She used to stay home and couldn't go out, so she could only play the piano all day."
Wan Yunting smiled and said, "It would be great if she could become a pianist."
Fang Yanxi and Xia Xiangyun smiled and nodded. Just then, a voice message came in on Wan Yunting's WeChat. He picked it up and saw it was Wang Zhuyu's. He answered with a smile, "Zhuyu, is there something?"
Wang Zhuyu, who was at the hospital at the moment, said sheepishly, "Master, it's like this, my mother has chosen to have surgery to remove the tumor."
This outcome was within Wan Yunting's expectations. He smiled and said, "That's good. Surgery is faster for treatment. In the later stage, using traditional Chinese medicine for recovery will prevent relapse and sequelae."
Wang Zhuyu nodded and said awkwardly, "I know, it's just that I..."
"Heh heh, it's alright."
Wan Yunting knew what she wanted to say and smiled, "Don't worry about it. Take care of your mother first. When you have time, come over and see me. I have something I want to discuss with you."
"What is it?" Wang Zhuyu asked doubtfully.
"We'll talk about it when you get here. That's all for now."
Wan Yunting didn't say too much. He said goodbye and hung up the phone. Fang Yanxi glanced at him, knowing that a woman had called, but she didn't ask. However, Wan Yunting proactively smiled and said, "She's a female disciple from the Daoist temple. She has studied traditional Chinese medicine. When the clinic opens, I want to invite her to help out at the clinic."
Fang Yanxi asked, "When will the clinic be ready?"
Wan Yunting said with a smile while eating, "It should be ready in a few days."
Fang Yanxi nodded and didn't ask further. Anyway, if the man liked to do it, let him do it.
A few days later, the newly renovated Chinese medicine clinic on Heping Street was all finished, and even the signboard had been hung, but it was covered with red cloth, waiting to be unveiled upon opening.
The clinic had two storefronts and three floors in total. The first floor was the pharmacy, with a row of Chinese medicine cabinets. The neatly arranged small cabinets had copper plates engraved with the names of the herbs in each cabinet, totaling several hundred.
The second floor was the area for doctors to consult. The renovation was antique and elegant. Behind a screen was a table, on which were placed the Four Treasures of the Study, as well as equipment for pulse diagnosis and other consultations.
The third floor was for small wards, which were areas for emergency treatment and rest, with dedicated doctors to care for them.
"Who opened this clinic?"
"I don't know. It's been under renovation for more than half a month, and we haven't heard who the owner is. It's so mysterious. Which outsider dares to open a clinic on our Traditional Chinese Medicine Street?"
At this moment, the shop assistants from the old traditional Chinese medicine clinics on the street were gathered in front of Liu Pintang, pointing at the newly renovated clinic opposite and discussing animatedly.
Liu He, who was accompanying his grandfather to the clinic today, looked at the clinic opposite, which had already hung its signboard and was renovated. Old Man Liu Pingyi frowned slightly and asked, "You don't know who opened this clinic?"
Liu He said, "Grandpa, it should be opened by Chairman Gu Old Gu!"
"Gu Yuanbai?"
Liu Pingyi looked surprised.
Liu He nodded and pointed to a middle-aged man inside the clinic opposite, who was directing several workers to clean the clinic's hygiene. He said, "His name is Du Hua. He is Chairman Gu's disciple. He came from Huadu City not long ago and has been responsible for renovating this clinic. So I guess this clinic must be opened by Chairman Gu."
Liu Pingyi frowned and said, "But I haven't heard him mention opening a clinic in the capital?"
Liu He narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Perhaps he doesn't want to tell us."
Liu Pingyi thought about their current relationship with Gu Yuanbai and nodded, "If it is indeed him, then there's no need to target him. It can be considered his last resort for settling down and retiring in the capital."
Liu He nodded. He had asked Li Wenhai and others to investigate secretly during this period, and when they found out that the person responsible for renovating this clinic was Gu Yuanbai's second disciple, Du Hua, they deduced that the clinic was opened by Gu Yuanbai.
Liu Pingyi then said, "I heard that Wan Yunting has been seeing patients at their home recently. Is that true?"
"It's true, Grandpa."
Liu He nodded and said, "It's all people from their circle who go to him for treatment. This kind of thing is their private behavior, and we can't do anything about it."
Liu Pingyi smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "As long as Wan Yunting doesn't open a clinic or practice medicine in a hospital, we can't control him seeing people privately. We don't need to bother with it."
Liu He nodded, but he frowned and said, "I'm just afraid that Wan Yunting won't give up and will cause some new trouble!"
"After all, he is a member of the Ouyang family. If the Ouyang family intervenes, through the Kong family, with just one word from Kong Jingguo, everything can be reversed, and we will be helpless."
"Heh heh, don't worry."
Liu Pingyi waved his hand and smiled meaningfully, "According to the gossip from above, Kong Jingguo might be leaving the Health Commission!"
Liu He's eyes lit up and he asked, "Is he being promoted?"
Liu Pingyi nodded and smiled, "So, if Kong Jingguo leaves and Tan Jianlin takes over, then we can nominate someone to let Gu Yuanbai step down!"
Liu He's heart was stirred, and he smiled, "Since we have a good relationship with Minister Tan, if he takes over Kong Jingguo's position, then everything will be settled!"
Liu Pingyi said, "So, Xiao He, you need to behave well recently and stop coveting those petty gains. As long as you become the chairman of the association, you will have whatever you want in the future."
Liu He smiled sheepishly as his grandfather saw through his thoughts and nodded seriously, "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will behave well during this time."
Liu Pingyi said, "Well, let's go back. When Gu Yuanbai's clinic opens, we'll come over to congratulate him."
Liu He nodded and personally drove his grandfather home...
Du Hua from opposite met two middle-aged men and smiled, "Pharmacist Mo, Pharmacist Huang, you're here."
"Little Hua, is everything ready?"
These two pharmacists were both from Huadu and had worked with Gu Yuanbai for a period. In the field of Chinese medicine practitioners, these two were capable individuals. They could identify thousands of Chinese medicinal herbs at a glance.
"Everything is ready, just waiting for you to inspect it," Du Hua said, pointing to the row of medicine cabinets.
The medium-sized, short-haired Mo Yaolin, and the slightly plump, square-faced Huang Fuxiang looked at the medicine cabinets and smiled, "Made of high-quality rosewood, truly magnificent."
"Mm, have the medicinal materials arrived?" Mo Yaolin asked as he went inside to check the medicine cabinets.
Du Hua nodded and smiled, "They will be delivered this afternoon."
"Good, then let's organize those medicinal materials together," Huang Fuxiang also went inside to check the medicine cabinets and other equipment...
Du Hua said, "We'll have dinner at my master's house tonight. Wan Yunting will also be there. I'll introduce you then."
Mo Yaolin and Huang Fuxiang smiled and nodded, "Okay, we've wanted to meet him for a long time..."
