Chapter 370 Farewell to the Rain
Zhang Yuanben was just asking casually, treating it as a normal concern.
Unexpectedly, Guo Nanzheng was like a lit torch, he instantly became energetic and his eyes were surprisingly bright.
He was like a magical magician, who quickly took out a notebook from the side like a magic trick, and then walked quickly to Zhang Yuan. The notebook was filled with dense handwriting, like a group of ants queuing in a government office.
A closer look reveals that they are all difficult and complicated problems and key points that he has pondered over and racked his brains but still cannot solve. Every stroke reveals his thirst and persistence for knowledge.
Zhang Yuan took the notebook, and scanned it slowly with sharp eyes. Looking at the difficult questions, he couldn't help but nod secretly, and admired the child's diligence in research.
His interest was immediately piqued, and he began to explain one thing after another to Guo Nanzheng in an easy-to-understand manner, like a wise man with a complete plan of events.
His voice was clear, like a mountain spring flowing, and his tone was gentle as he explained those obscure medical theories that seemed like heavenly books.
It is cleverly broken down and kneaded into easy-to-understand, everyday truths that seem like common neighborhood talk.
But in just fifteen minutes, a magical thing happened. Those stubborn doubts in the notebook were cleared away one by one, just like the warm sun dispelling the thick fog.
Guo Nanzheng was fascinated by what he heard, like a traveler who had been thirsty and finally found a rain. His originally furrowed brows instantly relaxed, just like a blooming spring flower.
His face was full of surprise and admiration after suddenly seeing the light. His eyes were red with excitement, as if they could not contain the surging emotions. He almost knelt down on the spot and kowtowed to express his gratitude.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuan was quick-eyed and quick-handed, like an agile cheetah, and stopped it.
Guo Nanzheng finally steadied himself and bowed deeply and respectfully, his waist bent to a standard 90-degree angle. His voice trembled slightly, like a candle flickering in the wind:
"Master, you are truly an expert in Traditional Chinese Medicine! You explained such a difficult point so clearly in just a few words. I have benefited greatly from it. Thank you so much!"
Zhang Yuan smiled and waved his hands, his expression as calm as the wind, as if everything was within expectations:
“It’s nothing to be surprised about, and it’s not as hard as you might think.
In the future, when you have more knowledge and your horizons become wider like a spider web, you will understand that these are just insignificant obstacles in your medical career and are not worth mentioning.
Well, judging by the situation, it looks like you’ll have to study hard for a month or even longer before you can complete the task I assigned you. Work harder!
Don’t worry, I will come to see you when I have time.
You are worthy of being my disciple. You are so diligent and hardworking. I am very satisfied."
Guo Nanzheng nodded heavily, as eager and determined as a chick pecking at rice, his eyes gleaming like burning torches:
"Okay, Master! I understand. From now on, I will work even harder, charging into battle like a brave warrior, and will never let you down!"
Zhang Yuan smiled with relief, his smile like the warm spring sun, and nodded again:
"Okay, very good. Keep working hard. I'm going to find your sister."
"Okay, Master."
Guo Nanzheng responded in a crisp voice, his tone full of obedience.
............
After bidding farewell to Guo Nanzheng, Zhang Yuan turned around and walked towards the courtyard where Guo Nanyue was, as if the wind had changed direction.
As soon as I stepped into the small and exquisite courtyard, I saw that Guo Nanyue was neither reading a book, as if he was temporarily alienated from the palace of knowledge, nor was he busy with other affairs, like an idle person in the world.
She sat alone on a stone bench beside the fish pond, her eyes dull, as if her soul had left her body and she was wandering in the sky, immersed in her own deep and boundless sea of thoughts, completely unaware of the movements of the outside world, as if isolated from the world.
It was not until the footsteps of Zhang Yuan and others approached, like a morning bell awakening a sleeping person, that she suddenly came to her senses.
With a casual glance, her eyes seemed to be lit up by bright stars in an instant, as bright as day. Her face was instantly filled with joy, like a blooming spring flower. She took two steps at a time and jumped in front of Zhang Yuan like a happy and lively deer without restraint. Her voice was so excited that it rose a few notes, as if playing a high-spirited melody:
"Dad, you came to see me! I'm so happy. Did you miss me?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded, as if the warm sun was shining. He reached out and gently touched her head, his movements gentle:
"Of course, my dear daughter... What are you doing sitting there by the fish pond?"
Guo Nanyue smiled brightly, her eyebrows curved like a crescent moon, and she coquettishly took Zhang Yuan's arm, very intimate:
"Of course I miss Dad, thinking about the times when we used to go fishing and picking flowers together.
I used to think it was ordinary, as bland as boiled water, but now I miss it so much, as if all those past events were plated with gold... Dad, are you busy next time?
Can you take me to Yunting Villa to stay for a few more days? It’s so boring staying at home, like being trapped in a dull birdcage.”
Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment, his eyes falling on Guo Nanyue's eyes full of expectation. It was as if he saw a clear lake. His heart softened and he smiled:
"Okay, since you want to go, I'll take you there in a while."
"really?"
Guo Nanyue was like a firework that had been lit. She almost jumped up in excitement. She clenched her fists, her face full of joy, as if she was radiating light.
"Great! That's what you said. You can't fool me. You really have to take me to Yunting Villa for two days!"
"Of course I will take you there."
Zhang Yuan spoke with a firm tone, as if making a solemn promise. He reached out and scratched her nose playfully:
"Why don't you go and pack up now? Once you're done, we can set off immediately, as if we were heading to a joyous feast."
"okay!"
Guo Nanyue cheered, like a whirlwind, turned around and ran to pack her luggage in a hurry. Her back revealed uncontrollable excitement, like a dancing flame.
Guo Meiting, who was watching this scene, frowned slightly, as if a ripple appeared on her face. She approached Zhang Yuan and asked softly:
"Hubby, why did you take Nanyue to Yunting Villa?"
Zhang Yuan smiled mysteriously, as if hiding endless secrets, and whispered in her ear:
"Of course, I'm going to teach her skills that others can't learn. Don't worry, it's all for her own good, just like shaping a rough jade."
Although Guo Meiting still had some doubts in her heart, seeing that Zhang Yuan was so confident, as if he was a marshal sitting firmly in the central military tent, she did not ask any more questions and nodded silently, as if they had reached a silent understanding.
............
Afterwards, Zhang Yuan took Guo Nanyue to bid farewell to the Guo family, and like a ship setting sail, he parted ways with Guo Meiting, and led Heitao, Margarina and Guo Nanyue alone, and drove straight to the Yunting Villa Community.
The car drove into Courtyard No. 7 steadily, like a nimble fish. However, Zhang Yuan did not rush into the house. Like a military advisor with a plan, he waved to Heitao and Margarina, his expression solemn, as if issuing a military order:
"Go prepare the large wooden tub for bathing, and the various Chinese medicinal herbs that Lin Weiwei prepared yesterday. I want to repair Nan Yue's dantian, as if preparing for a crucial battle."
The two girls understood what he meant and took action quickly like well-trained soldiers.
As an important base of Zhang Yuan, Yunting Villa has sufficient reserves of various Chinese medicinal materials, like a treasure house full of treasures. The equipment needed for medicinal baths is also available. The large wooden barrel is spacious and thick, enough for two or three people to use at the same time, like a warm embrace.
After everything was arranged, Zhang Yuan turned to look at Guo Nanyue, his eyes gentle, like a spring breeze:
"How about it, my dear daughter? Is this fish pond big enough? Do you want to go fishing for a while?"
Guo Nanyue's eyes shone like stars twinkling in the night sky, and she nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, dear father, let's go fishing now! I love fishing so much, especially with you. It will be so much fun, just like being in a happy wonderland!"
"As long as you like it."
Zhang Yuan responded with a smile, as if giving the most doting promise.
The two men found fish hooks and bait, and like hunters preparing to go out to battle, they sat down leisurely by the fish pond, set up their gear and started fishing.
At first, Guo Nanyue's little mouth was as sweet as honey, and she kept calling "Dad". She was as happy as a little sparrow, chirping non-stop, as if playing a cheerful melody.
But after a while, the style of painting suddenly changed, as if the scene on the stage had changed. Guo Nanyue's originally lively eyes suddenly became deep, and the smile on her face faded, replaced by a serious and solemn look.
His whole temperament changed drastically. He was no longer the cute and coquettish Guo Nanyue, but had turned into Wu Xingyu, as if he was wearing mysterious armor.
Wu Xingyu's eyes were as sharp as a burning torch as he stared at Zhang Yuan. His tone was solemn, like a heavy alarm bell:
"My dear disciple, are you sure you want to go to Qingyun Temple?"
Zhang Yuan's expression was calm, like a towering mountain, and he nodded without hesitation:
"Yes, Master.
Next I have to go. Although I know a little bit about the inside story of Qingyun Temple, I still have to experience it myself to find out what the real situation is.
Besides, aren't we from the Yin Gui Sect also planning to enter Qingyun Temple to fight for the things that are about to appear in the world?"
Wu Xingyu nodded slightly, as if agreeing with his words.
"Well, since you have made up your mind, it would be a good idea to enter the monastery early.
However, once you enter the temple, you must strictly maintain your identity and never reveal that you are a member of the Yin Gui Men. If word gets out, it will be a disaster, like lighting a dangerous fuse."
Zhang Yuan smiled confidently, like a victorious general, and patted his chest to assure:
“Master, don’t worry, how could I let them know?
My joining the Seventh District has already been secretly arranged, and the Taoists in Qingyun Temple are all aware of my identity. This arrangement is absolutely foolproof and there will not be any danger at all."
When Wu Xingyu heard him say this, her brows relaxed and her smile deepened, as if the clouds and mist had dissipated.
"That's true. I have to say, my dear disciple, you are indeed clever. Your master agrees with this. That's very good. Then you can go to the monastery with peace of mind. I will take care of the Yin Guimen.
I already know how you dealt with Hou Tiannan. Your method was clean, neat and beautiful!
Not only did they eliminate Hou Tiannan, but they also uprooted all of his followers and uncovered the many forces behind his collusion. This Master is very satisfied."
Zhang Yuan smiled modestly, like a low-key sage, and said with a bow:
"Master, thank you for your praise. How could this be possible without your contribution?
If you hadn't taught me all the witchcraft you knew, I wouldn't have been able to withstand Hou Tiannan's strength even with the help of Liu Shengli and Margarina. It's all thanks to you.
Without you, I wouldn't be where I am now, right, Master?"
Wu Xingyu listened to Zhang Yuan's extremely flattering words, and the corners of her mouth moved slightly at first, and then unconsciously rose. Her smile was like the first spring water to melt, rippling layers of water, slowly spreading across her face. She whispered angrily:
"My dear disciple, you really know how to talk. How about this, why don't we both be honest with each other? What do you think?"
Zhang Yuan smiled widely, his eyes seemed to have two bright beads hidden in them, revealing a hint of cunning. He pretended to be innocent and said:
"Master, I've been very frank. How much more frank do you want me to be? Do you want me to be so frank that I have no privacy?"
Wu Xingyu pretended to be angry, glared slightly, looked at Zhang Yuan unhappily, and said in a feigned anger:
"My dear disciple, it seems that you are not obedient at all.
You don't really think I'm a silly little girl, do you?
Tell me, you came to the Guo family specifically to find me and brought me here. You must have something important to tell me, or you want me to help you with something. Just tell me, I will definitely not refuse anything I can do.
When Zhang Yuan heard this, his heart seemed to be gently caressed by the warm spring sun, and the warmth spread instantly, and he was filled with emotion.
No matter what, Wu Xingyu's words made people feel very comforted.
Before he could even open his mouth to tell her the purpose of his visit, or say what he wanted her to do or what he wanted her to do for him, she agreed without reservation. This trust and generosity really surprised Zhang Yuan.
Then, Zhang Yuan's mouth curled up even more, his smile became even brighter, and he said with a smile:
"Master, I really can't hide anything from you. You are so sharp-eyed and powerful. I, your disciple, admire you so much."
Wu Xingyu didn't say anything, but just stared at Zhang Yuan quietly. Her eyes were like a deep pool. Although calm on the surface, they seemed to hide endless mysteries. It went without saying that she was quietly waiting for Zhang Yuan to reveal the answer.
Zhang Yuan didn't hesitate. He cleared his throat, straightened his back, and said to Wu Xingyu:
"Master, I actually brought you here this time for a purpose, but my purpose is simply to make you better.
Because I am going to Qingyun Temple next, when I will return is like the misty clouds, difficult to guess, and an unknown.
So before I officially entered the monastery, I was always thinking about you and was worried about you."
He paused slightly, his expression full of worry, and continued:
"I'm worried that after I leave New City, if you urgently need me to heal your injuries, repair your Dantian, or warm your frail body with my Yang energy, and I'm far away and unable to help you in time, that would be too helpless and heartbreaking.
In order to avoid this kind of predicament, I must make sure you are properly settled before we leave, and never let such an accident happen.
Therefore, I wanted to give you another comprehensive treatment, which is why I came to see you today."
Wu Xingyu's eyes widened instantly after hearing these words, filled with astonishment and emotion...
