Pang Yuan did not linger, as he had to rush to meet with the upper echelons of the local police to secretly discuss action plans and other matters. Seeing that Wan Yunting was fine, he went about his business.
"Third brother, I have to return to the country this afternoon."
Wan Dongming said, "However, I've asked Chu Lin and Wan'er to stay and look after you. You can return together once your injuries have healed a bit."
"Alright."
Wan Yunting knew that his second brother had to go back to help with company affairs. He reminded him, "You need to be careful. If anyone tries to harm you, call this number."
As he spoke, Wan Yunting gave Kuang Long's number to Wan Dongming. The latter took note and nodded, "Don't worry about me, I'll be careful. On the contrary, you need to recover well from your injuries. And you're not to participate in the police's arrest operation, understand? If anything else happens to you, how can I go back and explain to eldest sister?"
Wan Yunting smiled and replied perfunctorily, "Don't worry, second brother, I won't act recklessly again."
"Sigh."
Wan Dongming sighed, beckoned to Wang Chulin, and left with Wan'er, leaving him to rest well.
Thus, Wan Yunting did not idle. He painstakingly crossed his legs and continued to circulate his internal energy to heal his injuries.
He had dozens of injuries, large and small. There was a gunshot wound on his left shoulder, seven or eight stab wounds, and bruises on his back from being hit by a steel pipe. A normal person would have collapsed long ago.
After the stimulation from dual cultivation with Li Shuyun last night, his dantian had subtly improved, and some internal energy had been restored. At the same time, Wan Yunting had also learned the specialized internal cultivation technique for healing, the 'Tai Xuan True Scripture,' from his master, the Ghost Hand Medical Sage. This scripture had miraculous effects on treating both internal and external injuries, and could also enhance internal energy.
Unknowingly, three hours passed. By a little past one in the afternoon, Wan Yunting finished his circulation and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
His complexion had regained much of its color, and his injuries had significantly healed. The stab wounds, in particular, were gradually closing, and he could feel an itch at the wound sites.
His dantian had also condensed internal energy, but several acupoints were blocked and could not be forcefully opened, so the restoration of internal energy was very slow. If ten layers of power were considered full, Wan Yunting had only recovered two layers at this moment.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and his second sister-in-law's voice came through, "Third brother, are you awake?"
"Second sister-in-law, please come in."
Wan Yunting, sitting on the bed, called out. The door opened, and Wang Chulin entered with lunch. Wan'er also squeezed in beside her and happily ran towards Wan Yunting, "Third uncle, time to eat!"
"Good."
Wan Yunting hugged her and sat by the bed, gently caressing her adorable little face. He smiled and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Mmm-hmm, I have. There were shrimp and vegetables," Wan'er giggled.
"Come, third brother, drink the chicken soup first."
Wang Chulin handed him a bowl of chicken soup simmered with Chinese medicinal herbs, then placed the dishes on the tray on the bedside table. Wan Yunting downed the chicken soup in a few gulps and then started eating the rice and chopsticks vigorously, as the exertion from practicing his techniques was very demanding.
Wang Chulin looked at Wan Yunting's ruddy complexion and smiled, "Third brother, you're recovering so quickly. You even have color in your face."
Wan Yunting ate his food, looked up at her, and smiled, "It won't take more than two days for me to get out of bed and run around."
"Third uncle, eat shrimp…"
Wan'er, sitting beside him, ate the tiger skin shrimp that Wang Chulin had personally peeled for her at the small table. Wan Yunting turned and looked at the little cutie tenderly, picking up a shrimp with his chopsticks and offering it to Wan'er, "You have one."
Wan'er opened her little mouth and ate a shrimp, giggling at Wan Yunting. The little girl was very happy.
Wan Yunting patted her little head and continued to eat ravenously. In a short while, he finished a large bowl of rice and three plates of dishes, letting out a comfortable burp, "I'm full, thank you, second sister-in-law."
"Tsk, no need to be polite with me."
Wang Chulin collected the bowls and chopsticks, giving him a playful glare and a smile. She asked Wan'er to continue keeping Wan Yunting company while she took the tray and went downstairs.
Just then, Li Shuyun entered, carrying a medicine box. "Brother Wan, it's time to change your dressing."
"Oh, alright."
Wan Yunting asked Wan'er to get off the bed and play by herself. Li Shuyun brought over the medicine box, opened it, took out a bottle of external wound medicine, and prepared it. Then, she began to unwrap the bandages on Wan Yunting's left arm. Seeing the two deep knife wounds, the wounds had been sutured.
However, due to Wan Yunting's internal energy healing, the stab wounds were healing very quickly, causing Li Shuyun's eyes to widen in surprise. "You're recovering so fast."
Wan Yunting smiled, "Because I'm using the Tai Xuan True Scripture internal energy for healing."
"Tai Xuan True Scripture?"
Li Shuyun asked curiously as she applied medicine to him. Wan Yunting said, "It's a specialized cultivation technique for healing. It has miraculous effects on restoring both external and internal injuries. If you want to learn, I can teach you."
"Yes, yes."
Li Shuyun nodded and carefully applied the medicine to Wan Yunting. He then asked, "Has Qiu Ling returned yet?"
Li Shuyun replied, "She returned at noon, but in the afternoon, she packed her bags and left with Uncle Pang."
"Oh."
Wan Yunting's expression faltered, and he murmured to himself, "Why didn't she even say goodbye to me..."
After the dressing was changed, Wan Yunting asked Li Shuyun to take Wan'er out. He then continued circulating his internal energy to heal his injuries. It wasn't until seven in the evening that he finished his circulation again. This time, Wan Yunting's internal injuries were almost fully healed, and he could even get out of bed to stretch a little, his bones making cracking sounds.
There were two knocks on the door, and Wang Chulin's voice came through, "Third brother, are you awake?"
"Come in, second sister-in-law."
Wan Yunting called out and drank some water from the cabinet. Then, Wang Chulin pushed the door open with dinner. Seeing him out of bed, she exclaimed in surprise, "How did you get out of bed? Your injuries aren't even healed yet. Hurry up and sit down..."
"I'm fine, second sister-in-law. Look, I'm much better."
Wan Yunting moved his right hand. His left shoulder's gunshot wound couldn't be moved too much, lest the wound split open.
"It's miraculous, third brother, you're recovering too quickly. You can get out of bed and walk after just one afternoon." Wang Chulin was extremely amazed, finding it incredible.
After all, with such severe injuries, anyone else would have to lie in the hospital for months to recover.
"No need to bring the food in. I'll go downstairs to eat," Wan Yunting said with a smile.
"Alright. Mr. Li and the others are still eating. Let's go."
Seeing that he was indeed fine, Wang Chulin was relieved. Wan Yunting followed her out to another villa, where Li Guohao's family lived. The dining room was located there.
"Little Wan, why are you here? Are your injuries alright?"
Li Guohao and Li Shuyun, who were eating, and Cheng Qiuhe, who was taking care of Wan'er eating, saw Wan Yunting entering with Wang Chulin. Although he wasn't walking smoothly yet, there were no major issues.
"Uncle Li, Aunt Cheng, my injuries are mostly fine. I can get out of bed and walk, so I came over to eat together."
Wan Yunting walked over. Li Shuyun wanted to help him, but Wan Yunting waved his hand, smiling to indicate that it wasn't necessary, and sat down.
Li Shuyun's pretty face slightly stiffened. She didn't say anything and sat down as well.
Li Guohao and Cheng Qiuhe marveled at how quickly his injuries had healed, finding it almost magical. Only Li Shuyun knew that Wan Yunting was recovering so quickly because of his cultivation.
They ate and chatted, while Wan Yunting and Li Shuyun remained silent towards each other.
This was because Wan Yunting was deliberately maintaining a certain distance from Li Shuyun in front of Li Guohao and Cheng Qiuhe, to prevent them from noticing anything.
He knew that Li Shuyun would definitely not tell her parents about their dual cultivation.
Therefore, Wan Yunting didn't want Li Guohao to realize that he and Li Shuyun had cultivated together. If he found out, Li Guohao would probably storm into the kitchen right now and chop him with a cleaver.
