"Elder Bai, you mentioned earlier that these people were from the Wu Sect?" Ling Feng asked Bai Yunyan.
He needed to confirm if these people were after him!
Perhaps, these people were also connected to his elder brother's remains.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yunyan's expression shifted slightly. Seeing Ling Feng's puzzled look, he nodded solemnly after a pause, "It is indeed the Wu Sect. I believe you've heard of the Gu techniques of Southern Yunnan, haven't you?"
"I have!"
Ling Feng nodded. He was here for these people this time.
"The Way of Gu has a long history. Today, it has split into two factions: the Wu Sect and the Gu Sect. Manipulating a hundred poisons, this is the method of the Wu Sect," Bai Yunyan explained.
Ling Feng nodded slightly, lost in thought.
Bai Yunyan took a deep look at Ling Feng and changed the subject, "Fortunately, you came into the mountains with this old man today. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to protect Shuai Nan and Xiu Yatou and the others!"
Ling Feng knew that Bai Yunyan was not referring to the poisonous creatures all over the mountain, but to the sniper, Blood Scorpion.
Indeed, even if Bai Yunyan could deal with the poisonous creatures, he would be helpless against a sniper.
"That assassin is named Blood Scorpion, ranked fourth on the international Blood Kill assassin list. To be able to hire him, the person behind this must have considerable financial resources!" Ye Wuji said slowly.
Bai Yunyan merely nodded, showing no curiosity about the mastermind.
Ling Feng frowned slightly. It seemed these people were not targeting him, but Bai Yunyan.
As for the Wu Sect, he would have to have someone investigate them thoroughly later!
"Eh, how did your wound heal so quickly?"
Xiuxiu exclaimed in surprise as she looked at Lin Shuai Nan's wound.
Ling Feng and Bai Yunyan leaned closer and found that Lin Shuai Nan's wound had indeed scabbed over.
Moreover, Lin Shuai Nan's pale complexion, which had been caused by severe injury and blood loss, had now become ruddy, making him look nothing like a severely injured person.
"Heh heh, I don't know either. I've been like this since I was a child. I heal quickly when I get injured."
Lin Shuai Nan scratched the back of his head with a foolish grin and even tried to snuggle into Xiuxiu's embrace.
"Get lost, get lost! You're all better, why are you still crowding me!"
Xiuxiu, having seen through Lin Shuai Nan's intentions, pushed him away.
"Special physique!?"
Bai Yunyan exclaimed in surprise.
Others couldn't hear clearly, but Ling Feng heard it perfectly.
The rapid healing of Lin Shuai Nan's wounds could absolutely not be attributed to the medicinal effects applied by Bai Yunyan.
Therefore, there was only one possibility: Lin Shuai Nan had a very special physique!
Special physiques also appeared after the gradual resurgence of spiritual energy. Only a few lucky individuals favored by heaven could awaken them by chance.
It had to be said that this fellow was truly favored by heaven. After suffering such a severe injury, he could get up and jump around in just over ten minutes.
Such a physique would make countless people envious.
In a way, it was an immortal body!
No wonder he possessed such formidable strength at such a young age.
"Since you're fine, we should head back too! Elder Su's injuries are urgent!"
Ling Feng urged.
In this terrain, it was easy to be ambushed. Even if Ling Feng was not afraid, any slight carelessness could easily lead to injury for those around him, so it was best to leave quickly.
"Yes, yes, it's time to go back. Xiu Xiu, are you tired? Heh heh, I'll carry you!"
Lin Shuai Nan sidled up to Xiuxiu, drooling.
This intimate contact had given Lin Shuai Nan a taste of sweetness, and he was quite restless.
Xiuxiu pushed Lin Shuai Nan away, "I don't need you to carry me, you're still injured!"
"Heh heh, my injury is nothing. My nickname is 'Sturdy,' and my alias is 'Lucky'! I don't have any other skills, just a strong and robust body! Look at me... Ouch..."
Lin Shuai Nan had just struck a couple of bodybuilding poses when he pulled on his newly healed wound. Blood splattered out, causing him to grimace in pain!
"Be careful, you... Hmph, serves you right!"
Xiuxiu was also startled and almost rushed forward. Then, remembering Lin Shuai Nan's special physique, she let out a soft huff and turned to leave!
Lin Shuai Nan followed her like a stubborn stain.
Bai Yunyan, however, was holding something and dabbed it on the spilled blood.
Ling Feng saw everything but said nothing!
"Ling, Mr. Ling, please, don't leave me behind, take me with you, okay?"
Qiu Yunyan had learned her lesson completely and looked at Ling Feng pitifully.
"Go!"
Ling Feng uttered a single word and turned to leave.
This time, Qiu Yunyan dared not put on airs of a young lady anymore.
No matter how rugged and difficult the mountain path was, she struggled to keep up, crying from hardship several times.
But Ling Feng never even looked back!
It was only when Xiuxiu couldn't bear it any longer that she went up to help her.
"Xiu Xiu, I really like your kindness."
Lin Shuai Nan flattered her.
Xiuxiu shook her head, "Although she's quite annoying, she's also quite pitiful. Not only was she betrayed by that detestable Tan Mingjun, but all the people she brought with her are also dead."
Lin Shuai Nan was unconcerned, scratching the back of his head and glancing at Qiu Yunyan.
Seeing Qiu Yunyan constantly stealing glances at Ling Feng, Lin Shuai Nan couldn't help but pout, "A toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
"Who? What are you saying?" Xiuxiu was startled.
Lin Shuai Nan immediately leaned into Xiuxiu's ear and whispered something.
Xiuxiu looked over secretly in surprise and indeed saw that Qiu Yunyan's gaze towards Ling Feng was a little off. She chuckled, "Heh heh, a hero saving a beauty. I guess she must be incredibly impressed with Ling Feng!"
On the way back, the atmosphere was inexplicably heavy.
Ling Feng remained silent, and Bai Yunyan was also uncharacteristically quiet.
This made Lin Shuai Nan think that the old man might have suffered some hidden injury. He leaned in several times, pulling at his crotch and hair to carefully examine him.
After being slapped on the back of the head by Bai Yunyan, he finally became honest.
Ling Feng saw everything and knew in his heart that Bai Yunyan had something on his mind.
"Hey, Big Brother, do you think my Medicine King Dad is a bit off?"
"Where?"
As soon as Lin Shuai Nan approached, Ling Feng's brows furrowed slightly.
He was not interested in Bai Yunyan's worries. It was just that after learning the medical techniques from the Jade Scroll, he had known that the old man was unwell from the moment he first saw him!
"Hmm, I think... he has something on his mind!" Lin Shuai Nan replied earnestly after thinking for a long time.
"What's on his mind?" Ling Feng asked casually.
He didn't know how to explain this matter to Lin Shuai Nan!
"Hmm... I guess he wants to find a wife! He's already so old, and there's no one by his side. Although he has me as an adopted son now, I also need to get married and have children and live my own life. I can't accompany him all day long. Alas, it seems I need to find him a companion!"
Lin Shuai Nan looked as if he was burdened with worry.
Ling Feng: "..."
