Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 1966 - 1956: The News Brought by Wang Qingyue
Previously on Peach Blossom Divine Medical God...
"Yang Zi, Xiran, you’ve returned! How did things go in the provincial capital? Were you two alright?" Chen Tianmin immediately stood, his voice laced with worry as he inquired about their journey.
Chen Yang, closing the room door with He Xiran, stated grimly, "Uncle, the situation in the provincial capital is quite complex. Xiran and I ran into some trouble during this trip."
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianmin and Qiu Hongguang’s hearts immediately grew heavy.
"Something happened? What exactly occurred? Were you injured?" Chen Tianmin pressed anxiously.
"Let’s sit down and discuss this first."
"Very well, let’s sit."
Chen Yang and Chen Tianmin took seats on the hotel room’s sofa, and he began to narrate the events of the previous day.
He Xiran felt inclined to omit certain details, especially since they hadn’t secured any resources and had narrowly escaped peril, fearing she would unduly worry Chen Tianmin.
However, Chen Yang opted to reveal the complete truth to Chen Tianmin.
After hearing the entire account, Chen Tianmin and Qiu Hongguang displayed the identical reaction that He Xiran had initially experienced.
They were practically seething with indignation.
"Yi Dingxiang, what a thoroughly ungrateful traitor! The Alliance Hierarch treated him with such kindness, like a brother, and yet he stooped to this; we truly misjudged him," Qiu Hongguang declared, slamming his hand on the table, his face flushed with anger.
Chen Tianmin’s expression was equally grave!
He absolutely had not foreseen Yi Dingxiang’s betrayal.
"Uncle, Elder Qiu, the circumstances unfolded unexpectedly; furthermore, with the escalating numbers of Blood Bat Hall members, we genuinely couldn’t retrieve those resources, so we were compelled to leave them behind," He Xiran confessed, her voice tinged with shame.
Chen Tianmin waved his hand dismissively, offering comfort, "Xiran, the most critical news is that you and Yang Zi have returned safely. While the loss of the resources is regrettable, such things are sometimes unavoidable. We shall simply let the matter rest."
Qiu Hongguang concurred, "Xiran, the fault does not lie with you or Yang Zi; it is Qiu Hongguang and I who placed too much trust in Yi Dingxiang, never imagining he possessed such a heartless nature."
"How could we have been so blind and nearly allowed you to fall into such danger?"
Upon mentioning this, a palpable sense of guilt washed over both Qiu Hongguang and Chen Tianmin.
"Uncle, although we didn’t bring back the resources, Xiran and I did manage to acquire something on our return journey that should suffice for the time being," Chen Yang announced, producing the Spirit Stones he had excavated from the Gu Family’s coal mine the previous night.
Gazing at the bag brimming with Spirit Stones, Chen Tianmin expressed a measure of surprise.
"Yang Zi, how come you possess so many Spirit Stones?"
"Uncle, on the way back, Chen Yang guided me to a certain location..." He Xiran proceeded to elucidate the circumstances.
After absorbing the explanation, Chen Tianmin couldn’t suppress a hearty laugh.
While the Gu Family might not have rivaled the depravity of the Blood Bat Hall, their misdeeds throughout the years were undeniable, thus, secretly pilfering Spirit Stones from their mine didn’t strike him as particularly inappropriate.
"Uncle, this area should be relatively secure soon. If you find yourselves in need of resources later, you could consider venturing there to acquire some yourself," Chen Yang suggested.
Chen Tianmin nodded, "Hmm, an excellent idea."
With the newly acquired resources, Chen Tianmin promptly convened his people and began distributing all the Spirit Stones.
Spirit Stones were exceedingly valuable for individuals within the Qi Refinement Realm, providing enough sustenance for a considerable duration.
Consequently, after handing over the Spirit Stones, Chen Yang did not linger at the hotel for an extended period.
Following a brief discussion to strategize for future endeavors, he departed from the hotel alone.
The mission to procure resources had reached its conclusion.
Having eliminated two vice-hall masters of the Blood Bat Hall consecutively, and with the external situation remaining precarious and no other immediate tasks on hand, Chen Yang maintained a low profile in the ensuing days.
The majority of his time was spent within Liuhe Village, with infrequent visits even to the county town.
This tranquil period persisted for approximately half a month.
By this point, the expansion project for the Taoist temple had also reached completion.
Through certain advantageous channels, upon ascertaining that the Blood Bat Hall’s activities had somewhat subsided, Chen Yang arranged for Chen Tianmin and the other members of the Revenge Alliance to relocate from the hotel.
Instead, he facilitated their integration into the Green Cloud Taoist Temple.
This wasn't a genuine affiliation with the Green Cloud Taoist Temple but rather a strategic maneuver to obscure their presence.
Donning Taoist robes and engaging in work at the Green Cloud Taoist Temple served as a formidable disguise, making them exceedingly difficult to locate.
The half-month of relaxed living provided Chen Yang with a profound sense of contentment.
His days were occupied with dedicated training and playful interactions with his companions, Wangcai and Diao-brother, reminiscent of a return to ordinary life.
He harbored the notion that such peaceful days would stretch on indefinitely, but his expectations were unexpectedly shattered by the abrupt arrival of Wang Qingyue.
That particular morning, Chen Yang was preparing to visit the Green Cloud Taoist Temple, as had become his routine, to check on the well-being of Chen Tianmin and the others.
Just as he stepped out of the clinic, a sleek red sports car accelerated into view, coming to a halt directly in front of the establishment."Qingyue?" Surprise flickered across Chen Yang's face as he recognized the person approaching. It had been over a month since their last encounter, and her sudden arrival caught him off guard. "Chen Yang." Wang Qingyue brought her car to a stop and quickly exited, a serious expression clouding her features. "Qingyue, what brings you here today?" Chen Yang asked, still unaware of any underlying issues and simply glad to see her. He could feel it even from a distance: Wang Qingyue's cultivation had seen remarkable progress over the past month. She was likely in the late Qi Cultivation stage, nearing the threshold of Gathering Spirit. "Chen Yang, it's not a good place to talk out here. Let's go inside," Wang Qingyue suggested, casting a cautious glance around her surroundings.
