Chapter 919: Chapter 916: Clouds of Doubt Over Past Events

The first two problems are not that important, as the events have already happened. Why it targeted the Yun Family isn’t the current focus. The main issue is the last question. Wang Wanxi was also injured by the same assailant, yet she was able to recover. Perhaps her recovery could reveal a treatment method.

"Xiao Tian, I can answer your last question. Xiao Wan was able to recover because she is an Ancient Martial Artist with Protective True Qi. The yin energy didn’t penetrate deep into her bones, allowing her complete recovery. Moreover, the Cultivation Technique she practiced excels in defense and recovery, so she didn’t leave any hidden dangers," Mr. Yun answered Lin Tian’s third question.

Excels in defense and recovery? Lin Tian recalled the scene when he faced off against Wang Wanxi last time. She used Yin and Yang Qi to form a Protective True Qi Tai Chi. His punch only resulted in her blood circulation being unsettled.

Wang Wanxi’s defensive power is quite different from Ning Luoxi’s. Ning Luoxi is strong due to her powerful physical body and resilience against attacks, whereas Wang Wanxi’s unique True Qi comes from practicing the Lifeless Tai Chi Secret Scripture.

"Xiao Tian, I understand what you mean; you’re trying to find a treatment method from Xiao Wan. But it’s useless; she wasn’t cured by the Ghost Valley Inheritor. It was because of her nature as an Ancient Martial Artist," Mr. Yun explained.

Lin Tian felt a bit disappointed. It seemed that the approach with Wang Wanxi wouldn’t work. Given Mr. Yun’s age, practicing the Lifeless Tai Chi Secret Scripture was almost impossible, not to mention the Wang Family might not even permit him to practice it.

"The third question has been answered. I’ll now address the second question: why could the assailant penetrate the Yun Family’s defenses so easily?" asked the old man.

"I’m not an Ancient Martial Artist and don’t have a direct judgment about combat strength. I can’t explain how many levels stronger the assailants were compared to the Yun Family’s guards. However, a very important reason in this entire event is that the assailants aren’t afraid of bullets and weapons like swords," the elder slightly frowned, clearly unable to comprehend it.

Not afraid of bullets? Lin Tian’s heart stirred, and he couldn’t help but ask, "Are the attackers unafraid of bullets because they can easily dodge shots due to their agility, or because bullets hitting them don’t cause any harm?"

Mr. Yun was somewhat surprised. Understanding the first reason was reasonable, as many Ancient Martial Artists have the skill to avoid gunfire. But the second reason—few would believe someone could withstand bullet shots. Yet, Lin Tian spoke so naturally, suggesting he might have encountered it before.

"Xiao Tian, there were times when we shot the assailants, yet their combat abilities remained unhindered, behaving as if nothing was wrong. This is indeed the second reason you mentioned. Have you encountered a similar situation?" the old man asked, puzzled.

"I have indeed seen it, but I don’t know if it’s the same situation. In Japan, there is a very powerful Gu technique. Gu Cultivators raise a type of Gu Worm called Zombie Gu, then plant it in people. Those who have the Zombie Gu become very formidable, and it’s difficult for ordinary bullets to harm them," Lin Tian truthfully answered.

"Gu technique? We didn’t capture any assailants back then, so we’re unsure if what you mentioned is the case," Mr. Yun shook his head.

Lin Tian actually didn’t mention another situation. Besides Zombie Gu, there is another type untouched by bullets—zombies.

But zombies, to ordinary people, are just a legend and hard to explain clearly. While Mr. Yun could believe in Ancient Martial Artists and Gu techniques, believing in zombies was tough. Lin Tian couldn’t simply demonstrate, could he?

"Sir, what about the first question?" Lin Tian asked.

"I can’t answer your first question because I don’t know why the assailants targeted the Yun Family," Mr. Yun replied decisively.

After hearing the second answer, Lin Tian already expected this outcome for the first question. Without knowing the assailants’ identities, it’s impossible to know their target intentions on the Yun Family.

"Xiao Tian, from a healer’s perspective, after listening to my explanations, have you gained any insights for your diagnosis or treatment?" Mr. Yun inquired.

"There is indeed some help, but I still need to clarify some issues. As for the treatment, I don’t currently have a specific method," Lin Tian said candidly.

Mr. Yun’s legs are strange, and Lin Tian hasn’t figured out a good solution yet. But those assailants are crucial. If their identities are known, and their methods of causing harm are understood, it may lead to a breakthrough.

Moreover, there is a crucial point concerning Mr. Yun’s injuries; he was hurt by yin energy. To heal, a method to dispel the yin energy must be found.

Lin Tian only had a general direction. As for the specific approach, he needs to go back and think it through.

"Xiao Tian, don’t burden yourself with too much pressure. Life is uncertain, and wealth is predestined. Even if it ultimately can’t be healed, it’s meant to be. To have lived these extra years is already a gain," Mr. Yun generously smiled, consoling Lin Tian instead.

"I’ve noted your words, sir. It’s getting late, so you should rest. I won’t disturb you further," Lin Tian expressed his intent to leave.

"Alright, go and rest well, conserve your energy. Tomorrow you’ll have a meeting with those physicians, which inevitably means another round of overt and covert battles," Mr. Yun said with concern.

The famed doctors gathered at the Yun Family. Even if the Yun Family is proud, this meeting is unavoidable. As the saying goes, you shouldn’t offend the doctors.

Peers are rivals, with each famous doctor being proud and refusing to accept one another. When they meet, they are bound to compete secretly. In such a high-profile meeting, anyone who stands out while treating Mr. Yun will surely become famous in the medical world and bring glory to their teacher’s school.

Mr. Yun understood this well, and naturally, Lin Tian did too. But he wasn’t too concerned. Rather than getting caught up in scheming, it would be better to focus on treating and saving people.

Lin Tian pushed Mr. Yun back to the living room and then left the villa. After a while, another person appeared by Mr. Yun’s side. Standing respectfully behind Mr. Yun, with one hand pushing the wheelchair, his sleeve on the other arm floated in mid-air, indicating he had lost an arm—he was a one-armed man.

"Master, do you believe Lin Tian can heal your injury?" the one-armed man asked respectfully.

"I saw the golden thread in Xiao Tian’s hands. It should be a token of the Ghost Valley Inheritor. Even the Ghost Valley Inheritor back then didn’t have this golden thread. Before the Ghost Valley Inheritor left, he left a message. If I ever encounter a Ghost Valley Inheritor with the golden thread, there might still be a glimmer of hope," Mr. Yun said softly.

"If it weren’t for me back then..." the one-armed man wanted to say something but was interrupted by Mr. Yun’s hand gesture to stop.

"Xiao Wu, there’s no need to blame yourself. You did your best back then and even lost an arm. In fact, if I’m gone, Xiao Wu would be free. You’ve been by my side since you were ten, spending over thirty years of your best times on me. You’re just over forty, and you should have your own life," Mr. Yun said with emotion.
