What a useless young master!
Hmm? The Sect Master already knew? Chen Anlin was taken aback; this was different from what the novels described. In the stories, after Yang Bingyi entered seclusion, the entire sect faced a bloodbath. But now, upon hearing that the Taiping Sect was planning to deal with them, Yang Bingyi appeared so calm, as if she had been prepared all along.
After listening to Yang Bingyi's explanation, Chen Anlin realized she had indeed made preparations. She had set up three layers of formations in her secluded area! Moreover, several elders and direct disciples were jointly guarding it, forming an inner and outer defense system.
Yang Bingyi chuckled lightly and said, "So please rest assured, Young Master Chen. With such tight security in place, no demon or monster can escape detection!"
Chen Anlin thought to himself that overconfidence wasn't wise. "Master, be careful," Su Menghan said.
Wu Qianlian also looked worried. "Yes, I don't think the Zhang family is just trying to scare us. I suspect they have some hidden schemes that we are still unaware of."
Zhao Liguo pondered for a moment and nodded. "Indeed, it's better to be cautious. I'll arrange for people to conduct a thorough inspection of the sect immediately."
"Alright, Wu Qianlian, Menghan, and Young Master Chen just arrived at the sect. Please arrange accommodations for them," Yang Bingyi instructed.
"Understood, Sect Master."
A moment later, Wu Qianlian led Chen Anlin to a courtyard.
"Sister Wu, why didn’t you tell Master about your poisoning earlier? If you had mentioned it, she would surely have a way to help," Su Menghan asked in confusion as they entered the courtyard.
Chen Anlin also cast a questioning glance at Wu Qianlian.
"Ah, Master is about to enter seclusion; how could I let her worry about me? Once she successfully advances in her cultivation, it won’t be too late to tell her," Wu Qianlian replied with concern.
Throughout their journey, she could feel her own cultivation steadily declining.
"Miss Wu, if you don’t mind, I can take a look at your condition," Chen Anlin offered.
"You’re a physician?"
"Just a bit knowledgeable," Chen Anlin said modestly.
"Yes! Young Master Chen is quite impressive; let him take a look," Su Menghan encouraged.
Seeing Su Menghan say this, Wu Qianlian nodded. "Alright then, I'll go change into something more comfortable." She was still wearing Chen Anlin's clothes and felt it wasn't very convenient.
"Sure," Chen Anlin replied.
"Sister, I'll accompany you," Su Menghan said as she followed her out.
Once they left, only Yang Dou remained in the room.
"Sister Dou, has there been any important information from the factory guards?"
Chen Anlin asked.
After the previous factory guards dealt with the Zhang family, a number of people were actually captured and tortured for information. Unfortunately, these individuals only knew that the Taiping Sect intended to target the Baihua Sect. However, they were unaware of the specific actions planned.
One thing was certain: when the time was right, they would bring people up the mountain and launch an assault on the Baihua Sect. There were no leads, but it was said that an individual within the Taiping Sect known as Elder Hehuan was behind the plans against Baihua Sect. This Elder Hehuan was a notorious figure in the Taiping Sect, skilled in matters of both men and women.
It was rumored that he particularly favored female cultivators with abilities; Zhang Su had been his disciple. Elder Hehuan's background was also shrouded in mystery; he rarely appeared in person, with his disciples doing most of his bidding, and to this day, no one had even seen his face.
Yang Dou spoke of this with deep trepidation. After all, she had witnessed the conditions in that dungeon. Those girls had their essence drained from them, and their fates were tragic.
"How about I secretly scout around here to see what's going on?" Yang Dou suggested.
Chen Anlin nodded. "Be careful, Sister Dou'er. If anything happens, let me know immediately."
"Don't worry," Yang Dou smiled and vanished from sight in a flash.
Chen Anlin did not linger either and headed straight for Wu Qianlian's residence. As he walked, he pondered suspiciously about Zhang Xiaoli. As a child of destiny, he must possess some sort of golden finger. But what could that golden finger be?
On his way, he had subtly inquired about Zhang Xiaoli's situation. The information he gathered revealed that this person was orphaned; the sect leader had taken him in after his entire village was slaughtered by demonic cultivators. This individual had a notoriously lazy disposition and lacked manners, making him quite unpopular within the sect. He had offended several senior brothers multiple times, yet the sect leader seemed to protect him fiercely. There must be some hidden circumstances behind this.
Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaoli tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. He had a premonition that Senior Sister Su Menghan seemed to have an interest in Chen Anlin; he could see it in her eyes! Damn it, what was she thinking? What could possibly attract her to someone like him?
Zhang Xiaoli cursed inwardly. As if that wasn't enough, under Su Menghan's influence, Senior Sister Wu Qianlian also seemed to have a favorable impression of Chen Anlin. Was Chen Anlin here just to chase after girls?
Suddenly sitting up straight, Zhang Xiaoli decided he needed to talk to Senior Sister Wu to prevent her from being misled and suffering a great loss!
With this thought in mind, Zhang Xiaoli headed directly toward Wu Qianlian's residence.
At that moment, Wu Qianlian was changing clothes inside her room. Zhang Xiaoli concealed his presence and called out at the door: "Senior Sister."
"Junior Brother? What do you want at this hour?" Wu Qianlian hurriedly replied as she put on her clothes.
"Senior Sister, you're alone? I have something important to discuss with you."
Wu Qianlian opened the door.
As soon as she entered the room, Zhang Xiaoli's eyes fixated on Wu Qianlian's thin clothing, and he couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Junior Brother, what do you want to say?" Wu Qianlian asked with displeasure. This junior brother was becoming increasingly clueless; how could he look at her like that?
"Senior Sister, I was just wondering what the relationship is between Chen Anlin and Senior Sister Su Menghan?"
"What does their relationship have to do with you?"
"Senior Sister, it concerns my feelings. She is my senior sister, and I care about her to prevent her from being deceived by Chen Anlin. And you too, I noticed that Chen Anlin's gaze towards you isn't quite right." Zhang Xiaoli reminded her.
"I know, I'll be careful. You don't need to worry so much," Wu Qianlian sighed inwardly. She understood that her junior brother was concerned for her.
Zhang Xiaoli felt a surge of joy, thinking his reminder had worked. "Senior Sister, it's good that you think this way. That kind of rich kid isn't anything special."
"Xiaoli, don't casually accuse others without evidence, understand?" Wu Qianlian's expression darkened immediately; after all, Chen Anlin had saved her before.
"Why are you angry? I'm just speaking the truth."
"I don't need you to say anything about my feelings."
"Senior Sister, I—"
"Oh, what are you two talking about?" Chen Anlin's voice suddenly rang out from behind them.
Zhang Xiaoli quickly turned alert and said sternly, "What are you doing here? It's so late; why did you come?"
"Are you interrogating me?" Chen Anlin scoffed.
He had actually overheard their conversation earlier; this Zhang Xiaoli truly bore a grudge against him!
"Wu Qianlian, Chen Gongzi came here to treat me; I was injured earlier," she said, rubbing her temples in annoyance at her junior brother's behavior whenever Chen Anlin was around. It was as if he had eaten gunpowder.
If one didn't know better, they might think Chen Anlin had dug up his family’s grave!
"Hah, he's treating you? That's laughable; I don't believe it," Zhang Xiaoli stated bluntly.
"Xiaoli, you've really crossed the line. If you keep this up, Senior Sister won't pay any attention to you."
"Senior Sister, I—"
"You can leave now."
Wu Qianlian said coldly.
Zhang Xiaoli wanted to say something more, but Wu Qianlian pushed him out of the room directly.
Bang!
The door slammed shut behind him, and Zhang Xiaoli gritted his teeth in frustration; his senior sister had actually pushed him out!
Now only Wu Qianlian and that Chen fellow remained inside the room.
Damn it! What kind of spell had Chen Anlin cast on his senior sister? She trusted him after just meeting him!
What was it? Just a strong background and some skills? What did that even mean??
No way! He couldn't leave! Zhang Xiaoli narrowed his eyes; with his senior sister alone with that Chen guy, who knew what might happen?
He had to keep an eye on them.
Thinking of this, he decided to go over to the wall and eavesdrop.
Wu Qianlian closed the door and took a moment to calm herself before looking at Chen Anlin apologetically. "Young Master Chen, I'm sorry."
This guy seems quite infatuated with you, Chen Anlin said with a smile as he gazed at Wu Qianlian.
Wu Qianlian was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head helplessly. "I only see him as a younger brother. We have similar backgrounds; we both lost our parents at a young age, so I’ve always taken care of him."
What about Su Menghan?
"She was a bit tired and went to rest. Young Master Chen, can you really heal?"
"I can give it a try. Don't worry; your grandfather has been kind to me, and I will do my best. Let's go inside first."
Just as Wu Qianlian was about to move, her legs suddenly gave way, and she collapsed.
Chen Anlin reacted quickly, catching her just in time. "What’s wrong?"
"The poison is spreading; I have no strength left," Wu Qianlian replied weakly.
Before she knew it, she felt her legs lift off the ground as he picked her up.
"Young Master Chen, please don’t!" Wu Qianlian shivered in surprise and tried to struggle but found it impossible.
"Don’t move! The more you struggle, the faster the poison spreads within you."
"What should I do then?" Wu Qianlian was on the verge of tears.
"I'll check you over. Do you want to take off your clothes yourself or should I help?"
"Huh??" Wu Qianlian was stunned. "Isn’t it enough just to feel your pulse?"
"Do you think this is just an ordinary ailment?" Chen Anlin replied.
"But... isn’t there a saying that men and women shouldn’t touch each other?" she murmured softly.
Chen Anlin thought to himself that this was troublesome. Looking at Wu Qianlian's flushed face, he explained, "Don't worry; a healer has the heart of a parent. No matter how beautiful someone is, in the eyes of a doctor, they are just an ordinary person."
"Then... I’ll leave it to you."
