Chapter 344 - 343: Recognized?
Those who entered were the three people from the living room. I just heard Chu Junshang say that these three people are from the Tian Family. One of them is older, likely from the same generation as Tian Heming, while the other two are probably from the next generation.The one speaking was a man in his forties, with refined and elegant features. Although he was older, his demeanor had a somewhat transcendental quality.
Beisitian discreetly observed the three people, noticing that one of them seemed somewhat familiar. After thinking carefully, he seemed to bear some resemblance to Tian Jun.
Though she had only met Tian Jun once, his tall and handsome figure was not easily forgotten, naturally leaving a lasting impression.
Tian Qinghui frowned as he looked at the young female soldier in the room. He had seen her following the old military commander earlier. Since she belonged to the old commander, she shouldn’t pose a problem, yet she was revolving around Zhou Biwu, which raised his guard.
"Hello, doctors!" Beisitian smiled slightly. "I am the old military commander’s orderly and also a medic."
The three suddenly realized she was a medic. Every profession has its occupational hazards. Since this young female soldier was a medic, she would naturally be curious about Zhou Biwu.
"Come out. If your commander finds out how bold you are, you’ll surely be reprimanded," Tian Qinghui said.
This room didn’t host anyone, but there were seven or eight cameras overhead, ensuring no blind spots.
Beisitian forced a smile and followed them out.
"Sit wherever you like," Tian Qinghui said.
Tian Qinghui was the eldest son of the Tian Family, deeply inheriting Tian Heming’s teachings. The other was Tian Qingyao, the fifth son of the Tian Family, making one the eldest uncle and the other the fifth uncle.
The other older one was Tian Heming’s cousin, highly skilled in medicine.
"Young lady, did you study nursing?" Tian Qinghui asked with a smile.
"I’ve studied a bit," Beisitian replied. She wasn’t lying; any Mystic Doctor would know some nursing, though some who hold themselves in high regard would have their attendants or apprentices handle it.
Tian Qingyao’s eyes darted as he asked, "Who exactly is this old military commander?"
Beisitian looked at him, showing a wary expression. "The old military commander is just the old military commander, why, is there a problem?"
Tian Qingyao, seeing Beisitian’s nervousness, couldn’t help but laugh. He was merely asking out of curiosity. If it couldn’t be discussed, he wasn’t going to force her.
"Don’t be nervous. It’s fine if you don’t want to say," Tian Qingyao laughed.
Tian Hezhen, however, didn’t share the young people’s mindset, nor did he have the mood to joke with the little girl. He sighed and said, "Keeping him sustained with ginseng isn’t a solution. Do your parents have any plans?"
Speaking of plans, the smiles of Tian Qinghui and Tian Qingyao also faded, and their eyebrows knitted slightly.
"I don’t know. My father said he’ll try asking Wei Yuannai again," Tian Qingyao shook his head and said.
Tian Hezhen frowned, "How can you call Elder Wei by name directly? If anyone hears that, they’ll think the Tian Family lacks manners."
Tian Qingyao snorted, "Those... those doctors are all arrogant. It’s the same with Tao and with Wei. These people have skills but aren’t really worthy of respect."
He was mindful of Beisitian’s presence, so he didn’t elaborate on these doctors’ identities.
However, since the name Tao was mentioned, Beisitian naturally guessed that Wei Yuannai was also a Mystic Doctor; she just didn’t know which faction, nor cared to ask.
Not long after, Wu Yuekai returned, Chu Bozhong frowning, seemingly worried about something that had been discussed.
Wu Yuekai looked at Zhou Biwu once more in the bedroom, sighed, and left with Beisitian.
As Beisitian was leaving, she glanced back at the three of them in the room, and Tian Qinghui and Tian Qingyao both gave her a smile.
Beisitian nodded in acknowledgment and followed Wu Yuekai out of the room. Unexpectedly, as soon as they exited, they were met by Tian Heming walking over.
Beisitian was startled and quickly pulled her hat brim lower, lowering her head to follow behind Wu Yuekai, leaning slightly to the other side of the hallway to maintain some distance from Tian Heming, preventing recognition.
Tian Heming and Wu Yuekai exchanged greetings in the hallway. After a few words, they parted ways, with Tian Heming not noticing Beisitian behind Wu Yuekai.
Because her head was lowered, she didn’t see another familiar person approach. After greeting Wu Yuekai and watching him leave, the person inadvertently glanced at Beisitian and froze at seeing half of her profile.
That young female soldier looked very familiar...
Du Kai Bo thought carefully and suddenly realized she seemed to resemble that mysterious young Mystic Doctor. However, since he hadn’t seen her clearly, he shook his head, thinking he must be mistaken. That person had vanished without a trace, almost like they had disappeared from the world, so how could they possibly be here!
Du Kai Bo shook his head and turned back into the room.
Wu Yuekai took Beisitian away from the resthouse. Only after entering the red-painted gate did he relax, concerned that Beisitian might be recognized, particularly when speaking with Tian Heming. He had deliberately shielded Beisitian from view, preventing him from seeing her.
And as for Du Kai Bo, he likely hadn’t noticed the girl either. It was too close a call!
"Girl, how was it?" Wu Yuekai sent Li Xuejun away, leaving just the two of them in the room.
Beisitian roughly explained her findings.
Wu Yuekai raised an eyebrow, "So you’re saying it was the work of another faction of Mystic Doctors?"
Another faction?
"Exactly how many factions are there?" Beisitian asked, intending to learn more.
"Right now, the biggest ones are the Left and Right factions. The more active on the Left is Tao Hailin, and on the Right, it’s Wei Yuannai. Both are on par with each other, neither willing to concede. I heard they’ve been competing for decades without a clear winner. Beyond that, I, the old man, don’t know. It seems there are also scattered Mystic Doctors among civilians, none of whom seem significant."
"Then you mentioned another faction just now!"
"Exactly. Wei Yuannai was here, and Tao Hailin also came by. Each had a grim face saying they couldn’t treat it. Surely, besides these two factions, a third one has emerged," Wu Yuekai analyzed with a few words.
Beisitian thought for a moment and understood that it might be just as the old man said, and this third faction might even make the Left and Right factions somewhat apprehensive.
"Is Brother Zhou still savable?" This was Wu Yuekai’s concern. His relationship with Zhou Biwu had always been good. Zhou Biwu was his sponsor for party membership, so naturally, he didn’t want anything to happen to him.
"Hard to say. I can’t stay nearby. If I could know the type of Poison Talisman used and create a countering Mystic Talisman, then he could be saved. Otherwise, even with the thousand-year-old ginseng, I’m afraid it wouldn’t last beyond three months," Beisitian said.
Although Wu Yuekai had confidence in Beisitian, she couldn’t observe closely. Even with talent, there was no means of utilizing it without requisite resources.
