"It's rare to see Doctor Wenren in such a good mood," Wu Yuan said with a teasing tone, conveying a sense of familiarity.

"Isn't this all thanks to the influence of a great philanthropist? After handing out so many banknotes, is there any money left?"

Ah Jin tightened her grip on Wu Yuan's clothes, and Wu Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, the people around me are very good at making money."

Wenren Ming didn't say anything more and focused on taking the pulse. Wu Yuan turned around and took A Jin inside. She had to kill a few evil disciples to satisfy her urges.

There weren't many evil disciples, but their methods were insidious, making people afraid to fight them openly and forcing them to slowly wear them down.

In the end, quite a few people still fell for it. When they went out to seek treatment from Wenren Ming, they found him administering acupuncture to those who were disheveled. The disciples who remained outside came forward and told him what had happened.

Some people's gazes toward Wu Yuan and her companion changed; there was admiration and something else that was hard to explain.

Who is this hermit master's disciple? He's so rich! He just throws out hundreds of taels of silver without batting an eye. That's no small amount. An ordinary family might not even spend hundreds of taels of silver in their entire life. There are wealthy people in the martial arts world, but I've never seen anyone throw money around like that.

It can even influence Wenren Ming to do good deeds. You should know that getting him to take action normally requires paying a huge price.

Those who searched the evil sect's underground palace found some clothes and made those who were disheveled change into them.

There were also some heretical cultivation techniques and medicines piled up to one side, but there were no valuable things like gold or silver.

Wu Yuan felt that someone must have been hiding something. It was one thing for them to keep the gold and silver valuables, but the cultivation technique was really a menace. However, there was nothing she could do but hope that the righteous people present would have a conscience.

Wu Yuan didn't go to see those people off down the mountain. Wenren Ming knew more about the people in the martial arts world. He glanced at the few people who were going to see others off down the mountain and leave on the way. He nodded and said they were all kind and generous people.

Hao Qianyu then extended an invitation: "My wedding is in three days. I would like to invite all of you heroes to stay at Fuhe Manor for two days, have a banquet, and then leave. The manor has invited the head chef from Dingrong Restaurant."

Fuhe Manor holds a certain position in the martial arts world and is considered relatively wealthy, so he was quite confident in his invitation.

"This young brother from the Gu clan has come along too, to liven things up."

Wu Yuan remained silent, gesturing for him to agree.

"Thank you for the invitation, Master Hao. I will gladly accept."

Wenren Ming glanced at Hao Qianyu and then at the silent Wu Yuan, his eyes flickering slightly, lost in thought.

Upon arriving at Fuhe Manor, they requested the most secluded guest room, citing the Gu people's lack of interpersonal skills.

That evening, Wenren Ming came to visit alone.

"The Divine Physician Wenren?" Wu Yuan was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected him to come, let alone that he would come so late.

"Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?" Wenren Ming, dressed in a long black robe with dark patterns, smiled warmly.

Ah Jin pursed her lips tightly and raised one hand slightly.

"Come in." Wu Yuan was quite frank. Since everyone was already at the door, she couldn't just block them from entering, especially since she wasn't the only one in the room.

"Tell your little friend to calm down and not be so hostile." Wenren Ming appeared relaxed, but was actually on high alert.

Wu Yuan patted A Jin's arm: "Don't be silly, we're just old friends catching up."

It wasn't like they were alone in a room; Ah Jin was watching from the side, and I don't know what he was so nervous about.

In fact, Ah Jin was nervous about everyone who got close to Ah Ning, whether they were men or women. But he hadn't felt threatened by those people before, and he was afraid that Ah Ning wouldn't like him, so he hid those emotions very well.

Because Aning had always encouraged him to connect with the outside world, he deduced that Aning wouldn't like him keeping such a close eye on her.

"How have you been these past few years?"

"very good."

"That's true. You're the kind of person who can make a good life for yourself anywhere." Wenren Ming's tone carried a hint of nostalgia, not because he couldn't forget his old flame. He knew who he was and who Ning Xin was. The best outcome for the two of them was to part ways amicably.

But she was, after all, the most special woman in all his relationships, a woman who was even more adept at controlling her emotions and handling things with ease than he was.

The two chatted briefly. Wenren Ming remained true to his nature of not asking about the past, only talking about interesting local customs and traditions. Before leaving, he took out a small bottle: "The medicine inside can protect your heart for a day and a night in a critical moment."

"This is?"

Consider it a gift from an old friend.

Even a fool could see how valuable this thing was. Wu Yuan knew he might have sensed something, but she couldn't accept something so valuable.

"No need, it's too expensive," Wu Yuan declined.

Wenren Ming insisted on giving it to her. His fingers accidentally touched her wrist, his expression froze, and he placed three fingers on her wrist while supporting her hand with his other hand.

"etc."

Wu Yuan was stunned, and Ah Jin's eyes filled with murderous intent.

Wenren Ming's gaze sharpened as he looked at the man behind Wu Yuan, and A Jin's heart skipped a beat.

The unusual sensation in Wu Yuan's pulse reappeared.

"You've been poisoned by a Gu?" Wenren Ming's question was phrased as a question, but his tone was one of certainty.

"Sure?"

"I wasn't sure at first, but when the kid behind you gets nervous, your pulse changes. This Gu must be very important to him." Wenren Ming chose a gentler approach. One person's nervousness can cause another person's pulse to change. This Gu is related to life and death.

Tsk, Xin'er has angered a really crazy Gu clan member.

Wu Yuan suppressed her emotions in a few breaths. She wasn't too surprised. After being together for the past few years, even if A Jin tried his best to hide his emotions, it was impossible for her not to notice his obsession with her. Considering his upbringing, it wasn't surprising that he did such a thing.

But the disappointment of being deceived still overwhelmed my heart.

"Thank you for taking my pulse, Physician Xie Wenren, but I can't accept this medicine to protect my heart meridian for nothing. Please wait for me." Wu Yuan turned and went back into the inner room. After a while, she took out an exquisite wooden box, opened it, and inside was a set of crystal wine pots and cups.

This is a modern product, specially ordered by her before. Even the box is a complete antique replica. The price of this set would be considered a luxury item even in modern times.

"I stumbled upon this treasure, but I have no use for it. Doctor Wenren's medicine is life-saving, so this set is barely worth its value."

When Wenren Ming saw what was inside, his eyes changed. Even nobles of the imperial court probably had never seen anything so exquisite.

"this,"

"Take it. Others might not be able to protect it either. Ghost Doctor Valley is a suitable place for it." Wu Yuan closed the box and put it in Wenren Ming's hand.

"Thank you very much. This is the physician's token of Ghost Doctor Valley. Anyone who obtains this token may go to Ghost Doctor Valley for treatment at any time." Wenren Ming took out an exquisite token.

Wu Yuan smiled and took it, flipping through it. She found a simplified map at the back, which wasn't of much use to her, but that didn't stop her from accepting it.

Thanks.
