"Ah Zhi, be careful…"
At this moment, on the cliffside, Wang Meng and several villagers, along with a rescue team, were checking from above. They had prepared ropes, intending to send down two team members to scout ahead and see if they could find Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi…
"Okay Captain, we're going down…"
The two team members fastened their retractable carabiners to their waists and began to descend slowly down the mountain…
"Let's go, let's go take a look."
After placing the three secret manuals back into the wooden box and returning them beside the corpse of Senior Le Xin on the stone bed, Wan Yunting pulled Fang Yanxi and walked out. The morning sun had already risen, mist swirled in the mountains, and the air after the rain was incredibly fresh, something one could never experience in the city. Fang Yanxi couldn't help but take a deep breath, her face filled with exhilaration as she smiled, "The air is so good…"
"Indeed."
Wan Yunting also felt the morning sun of the great mountains. He could even sense the spiritual energy in the air. If he could practice his cultivation techniques here every day, it would undoubtedly yield twice the results with half the effort.
"Ah Zhi, quick, look, there seems to be someone below…"
The team members, who had descended fifty to sixty meters, immediately spotted two figures standing on a protruding rock face halfway down the cliff. The team member named Ah Zhi also saw them and immediately contacted the captain above via walkie-talkie. "Captain, Captain, we've found them! They're alive…"
At this moment, Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi below also saw the descending rescue team. The two of them excitedly called out to them…
An hour later, Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi were successfully brought back up.
"Oh my, Boss Wan, Boss Fang, it's wonderful that you're alive! Truly a blessing from heaven."
Wang Meng and the villagers were ecstatic to see them alive.
If Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi had met with an accident, the news would surely have a huge impact on their Wangjiadian Village in the future…
"Captain, they fell into a cave halfway down the mountain," Ah Zhi quickly reported.
"A cave?"
The captain of the rescue team was taken aback. Wan Yunting said, "It's an ancient person's tomb!"
"Ah, a cave tomb?"
Wang Meng and the other villagers were shocked, exchanging glances. An elderly villager's eyes widened as he said, "Could the legend be true?"
"Legend?"
Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi were curious. The villager nodded and said, "We heard this from the elders in our village. It's said that in ancient times, a living immortal appeared in our Wangjiadian Village. His medical skills were extraordinary, and he saved our village."
"Furthermore, the medicinal value of Gastrodia elata that is circulated in our village now was left behind by that living immortal."
"But later, that living immortal disappeared into the back mountains and was never seen again…"
"It's true."
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, "Inside the cave below, there is indeed the corpse of a Taoist priest!"
He did not mention that Senior Le Xin below was a fellow disciple of his master; there was no need to tell everyone…
"Really? Oh my, it must be the living immortal's blessings that kept you alive!" The people of Wangjia Village were excited, never expecting that the legend circulating in their village was true.
"Yes, it was indeed his blessing, otherwise we would have really had to bid farewell to this world."
Wan Yunting turned to look at Fang Yanxi beside him. They were indeed lucky to have survived, and it was Senior Le Xin who had saved them.
"Should we go down and bring that person's body up?" Team member Ah Zhi asked.
"No, you mustn't do that."
Wang Meng and the villagers excitedly said, "This is the tomb of an old immortal. We mustn't disturb it. Let him continue to stay in our Wangjiadian Village."
Wan Yunting nodded and also said to the captain, "Yes, we have already disturbed him for one night, there's no need to disturb him again. Besides, there's nothing of value inside the cave; it's just the tomb of an ordinary old man."
"Yes, yes, yes, absolutely do not touch the tomb of the living immortal…"
The people of Wangjia Village nodded, resolutely refusing to let the rescue team go down.
After the captain reported the situation to his superiors, he also ordered that there was no need to go down, and they naturally packed up and left…
Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi descended the mountain and temporarily stayed at Wang Meng's house. The two eagerly ate a meal and drank the Gastrodia soup stewed with a hen. They felt completely comfortable.
Wang Meng kept thanking them. Wan Yunting did not blame them, as it wasn't their fault.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Wan Yunting did not linger any longer. He said to Wang Meng, "Boss Wang, we'll be heading back now. Regarding your Gastrodia, we will contact you if we need it later."
"Alright, Boss Wan. Thank you for supporting our Gastrodia. Travel safely."
Wang Meng and his wife saw Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi off to their car as they headed back to Zhaoshan County.
Upon reaching the county town, Wan Yunting first went to a mobile phone store and bought new phones for himself and Fang Yanxi. Wan Yunting's old SIM card was still there. After inserting it, he called his second brother, Wan Dongming, and explained the situation…
As the encounter last night was only reported by local news, it had not reached Huadu, so everyone there was unaware…
The two returned to their hotel and took a comfortable shower. They had already booked plane tickets for five o'clock that afternoon. Wan Yunting naturally took Fang Yanxi's hand and entered the airport together. After clearing security and boarding the plane, the two sat together. Wan Yunting turned to look at Fang Yanxi, and they exchanged a loving glance, smiling at each other.
The experience of last night had brought their hearts closer.
Watching the man fall asleep, Fang Yanxi's heart, however, was not entirely at peace, as she was unsure of her relationship with Wan Yunting…
After all, the man still had a missing girlfriend, Su Ke'er!
At eight o'clock in the evening, the plane landed at Huadu International Airport.
Wan Yunting carried his luggage bag and Fang Yanxi's suitcase, and the two walked out of the airport together. They took a taxi directly to a nearby restaurant for dinner before parting ways.
"Go home and rest well."
Wan Yunting helped her put the suitcase in the trunk of the car and instructed Fang Yanxi.
"You too."
Fang Yanxi smiled gently, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at the man, as if expecting something.
Sensing her feelings, Wan Yunting naturally stepped forward and hugged her, stroking her hair. Neither of them spoke. After about thirty seconds, he let go, "Get in the car."
Fang Yanxi nodded, then got into the car, waving goodbye to Wan Yunting, and signaled the driver to drive away.
Wan Yunting smiled and watched the woman leave, then he also took a taxi directly home.
"Third Uncle is back…"
As soon as he entered, Wan'er pounced towards Wan Yunting. He held his niece and smiled, seeing his second brother and sister-in-law in the living room. "I'm back."
"Mm."
Wan Yunting nodded, holding Wan'er, and sat down. "I'll take Wan'er to see her eldest aunt tomorrow."
Wan Dongming paused, then nodded with a smile, "Alright."
"Uncle, can I see Mom?" Hearing that she could see her mother, Wan'er was so happy she danced with joy.
"Yes, we'll go tomorrow morning." Wan Yunting felt happy seeing the little girl's joy.
In fact, he just wanted to visit his master in prison and talk about the unexpected encounter with Senior Le Xin during his trip to Anhui.
Wan Yunting wanted to see how much his master knew about the deeds of Senior Le Xin…
