Chapter 34: Sisters "Why does it feel like she's a little afraid of that woman? ...
When Jiang Liuyan saw Chen Cangwu and Bai Zhi appear at the medical center in Zhuifeng City, she was completely stunned.
She looked at Yun Xiangwan who brought the two people in, and asked with her eyes what was going on.
Yun Xiangwan spread her hands. She didn't expect that Chen Cangwu would actually bring Bai Zhi here. You know, this guy is also a proud and stubborn person.
Seeing the two men's confused and helpless expressions, Chen Cangwu took the initiative to step forward and explained, "We heard that Zhuifeng City is in trouble at this stage, so we came here hoping to do our part to help Zhuifeng City overcome this crisis."
Jiang Liuyan wasn't sure what the two men were really thinking, but she couldn't afford to look bad, so she smiled and replied, "Thank you both for coming all the way here to support me, but I don't think you're here just for this."
"Yes, we do have other purposes, Sect Master Bai?" Shen Cangwu looked at Bai Zhi, motioning her to respond.
Bai Zhi was a little reluctant at first, but after being prodded by Shen Cangwu, she compromised: "Well, I want to first check on those who have symptoms suspected of being a sign of Heaven's Wrath, is that okay?"
It seems that he knows what's going on. Jiang Liuyan has long heard about Bai Zhi's persistence and stubbornness. If she could change her mind, it must be because Shen Cangwu fulfilled his promise and joined forces with the Ghost King to do something.
This time it might be true, let's see.
Jiang Liuyan stepped aside to guide the two into the medical center, saying as they walked, "Several people with mild symptoms have basically recovered now and are being kept here to monitor for any relapses. Some of those with severe symptoms have also shown significant improvement. At least their vitality and spiritual energy are no longer being lost and are slowly recovering. Which one would you like to visit first?"
Bai Zhi hadn't expected that Zhuifengcheng had successfully treated the patient single-handedly. After a slight surprise, she nodded and said, "Let's check on the more serious cases first, then the less serious ones. Is that okay?"
"Yes, this way please."
…
After Bai Zhi finished examining the last person with mild symptoms, her expression did not look very good.
Although the symptoms were very similar to Tian Nu's, a closer examination revealed significant differences. Those two had truly deceived her.
Jiang Liuyan watched Bai Zhi's expression change, and she had already made up her mind. After she stood up, she asked, "Master Bai, how is it?"
Bai Zhi held her breath, her face slightly red, and finally turned her head and said, "It is indeed an epidemic. I'm sorry, I was too arrogant and trusted others before, and forgot the nature of a doctor. I apologize to you here." After that, she bowed to Jiang Liuyan.
Jiang Liuyan dodged to the side, then helped her up and said seriously, "Master Bai, there's no need to be like this. After all, no one would have thought that two masters of a righteous sect would act like this. I'm already very grateful that Master Bai is willing to come here. I believe our demands should be the same."
At least this person has good intentions. Taking a few steps back will be more conducive to subsequent cooperation negotiations, Jiang Liuyan thought.
Bai Zhi was helped up, but she didn't think too much about it. Her affection for Jiang Liuyan grew faster and faster, surpassing that of the two people who deceived her, and the balance in her heart also leaned more towards this side.
During the previous examination, she had noticed something else: "This plague has an incubation period. Are you aware of this? I'm afraid there are more people infected with the plague than just these."
"I understand. The doctors in our city have also noticed this and have changed the treatment plan. They are now looking for herbs to facilitate the adjustment." Jiang Liuyan said. Ying Bu Ran and the others happened to have returned. "They are back now."
The two of them subconsciously turned around and looked, and when their eyes met, Qu Lingyou and Bai Zhi both froze.
Ying Bu Ran was also stunned when she saw Shen Cangwu, then she came to her senses and saluted: "Greetings, Sect Master Shen." She looked at Jiang Liuyan again, a little at a loss.
Jiang Liuyan waved at her to signal her to come over, and Ying Buyan moved over with Zhao Chaoan in his arms. Zhao Qingxun looked at the scene and followed suit, but kept some distance from Ying Buyan.
As for Su Yunying, she stopped yawning halfway, looked at Qu Lingyou and then at Bai Zhi, and then she moved away step by step.
"Mom, what's going on now?" Ying Bu Ran asked Jiang Liuyan in a low voice. Zhao Chaoan in her arms stretched his neck to listen.
Jiang Liuyan touched his chin, then thought of something and explained to Ying Bu Ran in a low voice, "They used to be from the same school and had the same teacher."
Ying Bu Ran: “…”
That's embarrassing.
Qu Lingyou looked at Bai Zhi, not knowing where to put his hands. After a long period of awkward silence, he simply turned around and prepared to leave, desiring to stay out of sight and out of mind.
"Qu Lingyou, come back."
Qu Lingyou broke down in a second and came back listless. This was the first time Ying Bu Ran saw her looking listless. She didn't have that... um... eccentric look as before.
Zhao Chaoan took a look and commented quietly, "Why does it feel like she's a little afraid of that woman?"
"You're the one who's scared!" Qu Lingyou, with his sharp ears, heard it and immediately tilted his head to look up. Bai Zhi coughed, lowered her head and took a step forward, not daring to say a word.
Bai Zhi looked at her, frowned slightly, and was poked by Shen Cangwu again. She looked aside and asked dryly, "How are you now?"
Qu Lingyou looked up, a little surprised, scratched his head, and felt a little flattered: "Not bad? The people here are quite nice to me. I don't even need to keep my eyes open when sleeping."
On the contrary, she was safe here. Jiang Liuyan didn't say it, but she had arranged for at least three powerful monks to protect her safety near her residence, and someone would secretly follow her whenever she left the city.
After hearing this, Bai Zhi didn't know what to say. She just hummed and that was the end of the story.
Qu Lingyou's previous position within the Wanxiang Sect... was indeed not very favorable. Her philosophies contradicted those of the old sect leader, and many of the old sect leader's followers criticized her, but Qu Lingyou always adhered to her own ideas.
Originally, she thought that it was her junior sister who was stubborn and went astray, but now she was the one who had misjudged, been deceived, and embarked on the wrong path.
Seeing that the two of them were at a loss for words, Jiang Liuyan took the initiative to step forward and change the subject: "Doctor Qu, are there any results?"
Qu Lingyou immediately turned around and nodded: "Well, the herbs that need to be picked have been picked. Now it's time to test the medicine. Once it's proven to be feasible, we'll gather everyone outside."
"What are you going to do?" Bai Zhi asked.
"Ah, it's to test the medicine so that it can release its medicinal properties and dispel the plague when people come into contact with it. Once it is confirmed to be feasible, mix it in the rain. This is the fastest large-scale treatment method I can think of." Qu Lingyou explained honestly.
Bai Zhi fell into a moment of deep thought, pondering the feasibility of this plan. Her silence made Qu Lingyou nervous. After a moment, she nodded and offered, "I'll go with you. This medicine requires extreme precision to ensure a complete cure without harming the body. Yun Ying?"
Su Yunying immediately rushed over from the side and stood at attention: "Master."
"You come with us," Bai Zhi said, then looked at Qu Lingyou, "When does it start?"
Qu Lingyou was still in a daze, feeling like he was in a dream. Bai Zhi asked again before he came back to his senses: "Ah, we can start now."
"Let's go then. Lead the way."
Qu Lingyou nodded and took Bai Zhi and Su Yunying to his workplace. Ying Bu Ran watched them leave and asked Zhao Chaoan in his arms, "It seems we don't need your help anymore?"
Zhao Chaoan nodded: "Indeed, there is no need. Three medical practitioners are enough. We don't understand this area, so going there won't be much help."
Zhao Qingxun stood aside and watched their natural conversation, feeling a bit uncomfortable. She stood aside as if she didn't exist, and Ying Bu Ran didn't even give her the slightest glance, which made her want to throw the bird aside and take its place.
She covered her forehead to calm herself down, but the bitterness grew little by little.
"You should go and have a rest. You've worked hard these past three days." Jiang Liuyan rubbed Ying Bu Ran's head and then looked at Shen Cangwu. "Sect Master Shen, how about we talk about what's going to happen next?"
Shen Cangwu nodded and smiled slightly: "I'm very happy to do so."
The two of them also left the place. Before that, Jiang Liuyan asked Yun Xiangwan to take Ying Bu Ran out for a walk. As for Zhao Qingxun, she was allowed to move around freely, but she still arranged for someone to secretly watch her.
Zhao Qingxun didn't run around, but followed Ying Bu Ran closely, with his head down and not saying a word, looking a little pitiful.
Ying Bu Ran could feel her following him, and she tried to hold back several times. She decided to keep her distance. She didn't want to cause Zhao Qingxun to misunderstand her out of sympathy. They should have moved on.
Unfortunately, the peaceful shopping trip did not last long. The sound of rapid drumming was heard, followed by the sound of alarm bells, which meant that an attack had occurred.
"Prepare to fight the enemy. Do you want to go to the rear or come with me?" Yun Xiangwan immediately became alert and asked Ying Bu Ran.
Ying Bu Ran took out the white jade flute and nodded firmly: "Let's go together!"
She wants to hone herself in actual combat instead of hiding behind others.
Ying Bu Ran ran to the front lines, and Zhao Qingxun naturally followed, while Si Nuo followed closely behind to monitor them. When they arrived at the front lines, the battle had already begun. The people of Zhuifeng City engaged the attacking ghost soldiers, and for a moment, ghostly and bloody energy surged to the sky.
Ying Bu Ran frowned slightly, noticing something amiss. Though faint, the flames of living beings lingered on the shoulders of those "ghost soldiers."
"They are all living people, not ghost soldiers." Ying Bu Ran said, and couldn't help but think of the Jiuyou Sect team that had attacked them before, wondering if there was any connection between the two.
Hearing this, Zhao Chaoan also looked over and nodded affirmatively: "Yeah, they are indeed living people. The smell of ghosts is very strong, but if you smell it carefully, you can still smell the breath of living people. Tsk tsk tsk, it's quite cruel. You know, with such ghost energy entering their bodies, even if these people don't die here, they will not survive today."
"...They are really cruel. They have gone to great lengths to create trouble for us and frame us. I just wonder if these people know that they are being treated as consumables." Yun Xiangwan slapped her fan, very dissatisfied with this behavior.
Zhao Qingxun walked forward and stood beside them, saying, "They don't know the truth. This is the usual tactic of the Jiuyou Sect."
Ying Bu Ran looked at Zhao Qingxun and found that her eyes were as calm as dead water, without a trace of light, as if she was completely disappointed.

Author's words: Qu Lingyou: You're the one who's afraid! Your whole family is afraid! Who's afraid of her? How could I possibly be afraid of her?
Baizhi (turning head): Hmm?
Qu Lingyou (lowers his head): It’s okay, it’s okay…
