Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1535 Where to Begin
Xu Chunliang asked, "Do you know Xu Dongya?"

Yuan Dongchang nodded: "He is Ji Buyao's friend."

Xu Chunliang sighed inwardly. Ji Buyao was indeed connected with these people. It was normal for these martial arts figures to know each other, after all, they were all leading figures of their respective sects. Perhaps Ji Buyao had noticed him long ago and had already begun to plan for today.

Xu Chunliang asked, "Based on your understanding of Ji Buyao, what is the purpose behind all his actions?"

Yuan Dongchang did not answer Xu Chunliang's question immediately, because he had also considered it countless times. Usually, the two things men strive for are nothing more than money and power.

In terms of money, he had already helped Ji Buyao earn enough money to last several lifetimes. In terms of power, Ji Buyao was the powerful leader of the Orchid Sect, and in theory, he had nothing to be dissatisfied with. When Ji Buyao faked his death and left, Yuan Dongchang thought he was just trying to escape punishment, but now it seems that was not the case at all.

After careful consideration, Yuan Dongchang said, "He is infertile, which may have caused his psychological distortion, erratic behavior, and irrationality."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Did he mention to you that he had any chronic illness?"

Yuan Dongchang said, "He is not sick, but Jiajia is sick. His illness was announced to the public later. I thought it was just to deceive people. He also told me more than once that he had his fortune told and that he would not live long."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Did they say when you would die?"

Yuan Dongchang thought for a moment and said, "It seems that a fortune teller once told him that he would only live to be forty-four years old."

Hearing this, Xu Chunliang was basically able to conclude that Ji Buyao had the same experience as him.

Even if Yuan Dongchang racked his brains, he still couldn't figure out what Ji Buyao really wanted. Only those who experienced the Battle of Kunlun Peak and stumbled into this era would know.

With the deadline fast approaching, everyone is in a state of panic!
Suddenly, eight large characters flooded Xu Chunliang's mind: based on the timeline, Ji Buyao, Mo Changqing, Li Ruoxi, and the others should have arrived around the same time.

Although Xu Chunliang had some basic physics knowledge, it was impossible for him to understand why he and the others arrived here at different times when they were struck by lightning at the same time.
Who exactly is Ji Buyao?
Yuan Dongchang secretly observed Xu Chunliang. He had not had any contact with Xu Chunliang before returning, but Ji Buyao told him to get to know this person well. Yuan Dongchang collected a lot of information about Xu Chunliang. He never underestimated any opponent, and this time he still underestimated Xu Chunliang's power.

Hsu Chun-liang said, "If he contacts you, please tell him that I want to meet with him."

Yuan Dongchang nodded.

Xu Chunliang placed a medicine bottle on the table.

"What?" Yuan Dongchang asked in surprise.

"Antidote."

After Xu Chunliang left, Yuan Dongchang picked up the medicine bottle. Upon opening it, a pleasant fragrance filled the air, instantly making him feel refreshed. An antidote? The antidote for the Azure Scale Poison? His own antidote hadn't worked; could the antidote he provided be even stronger? How did he know he was poisoned? Was Xu Chunliang's medical skill truly as amazing as the legends suggested?

Xu Chunliang had just left the gate of Lanxing Company's headquarters when he saw a black G-Class parked on the side of the road. Mo Han stood gracefully by the car, her hair flying in the wind. She was wearing a short skirt, which was quite rare for her, and her two long legs were being shown off without any hesitation.

Xu Chunliang's first thought was that this girl seemed to have no way to deal with him and could only use her beauty to seduce him. Wouldn't it be better if she just came to terms with it sooner?

Hsu Chun-liang walked over slowly with his hands in his pockets. The wind was a bit damp and alluring today.

Mo Han's gaze remained fixed on Xu Chunliang through his sunglasses; no matter the situation, he always maintained this carefree and irresponsible demeanor.

Xu Chunliang greeted him, "You're following me again?"

Mo Han said, "Who says only you can come here?"

Xu Chunliang nodded: "It was just a coincidence. If there's nothing else, let's go our separate ways."

Mo Han said, "I thought you had been arrested on Weishan Island."

Xu Chunliang looked around. Mo Han opened the passenger door, and this time Xu Chunliang did not resist and got in.

Mo Han helped him close the car door, then went around to the other side and got into the car.

Seeing that he still had his hands in his pockets, Mo Han couldn't help but remind him, "Fasten your seatbelt."

Xu Chunliang said, "It's the same as talking here."

Mo Han said, "Think it over carefully."

Xu Chunliang understood what she meant. This was the headquarters of the Orchid Sect, and everyone coming and going was a follower of the Orchid Sect.

Xu Chunliang nodded: "You help me."

Mo Han could easily understand that he was deliberately making things difficult for her. Since she had already opened the car door for him, she didn't mind helping him fasten his seatbelt as well.

When Mo Han helped him fasten his seatbelt, the two were very close. Xu Chunliang's fiery gaze was fixed on Mo Han's eyes, making Mo Han feel extremely uncomfortable.

Xu Chunliang praised, "After all, you've reached the Innate Realm; your mindset is much stronger than before."

Mo Han said, "That depends on who it is. Sit tight!" She stepped on the gas, and Xu Chunliang's back pressed against the seat due to inertia.

Xu Chunliang sighed and said, "It seems I overestimated your level of understanding." Mo Han said, "Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. You are carefree here, while your little lover is wanted by the police and is hiding here and there."

Xu Chunliang said, "Why do you sound a little envious?"

Mo Han said, "It seems that none of the women who like you have a good ending."

Xu Chunliang said, "Are you saying this to discourage others, so that you'll have no competitors and can take advantage of their weakness?"

Mo Han said, "You're really just being presumptuous."

Xu Chunliang said, "You followed me all the way from Weishan Island to the capital, didn't you just come here to tell me this?"

Mo Han asked, "Are you aware of your current situation?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. I'd rather listen to what you have to say."

Mo Han said, "Have you ever thought about why they issued a warrant for Su Qing's arrest but let you go? It's not because your mother is protecting you, but because they want to play the long game and catch a big fish."

Xu Chunliang frowned: "Were you also present the day Su Tianyu died?"

Mo Han did not answer.

Xu Chunliang said sternly, "If I find out that Su Tianyu's death is related to the two of you, I will not let you off the hook."

Mo Han retorted angrily, "You couldn't even protect Su Tianyu's life yourself, so why are you taking your anger out on me? I have no grudge against him, why would I kill him?"

Xu Chunliang thought to herself that she really had no reason to kill Su Tianyu.

Mo Han said, "For people like us, our time is up. It makes no difference whether we die a day earlier or a day later."

Xu Chunliang noticed that she used the term "we," which at first glance seemed like she was trying to get closer to them. But upon closer inspection, Mo Han was Mo Changqing's daughter and had also established a connection with this group of so-called space travelers. From this perspective, none of them could escape the impending calamity.

Mo Han said, "You don't want to just disappear from the world like this, without even knowing why, do you?"

Xu Chunliang said, "You're afraid of dying, but you don't need to include me in that."

Mo Han said, "Actually, choosing to live takes more courage than choosing to die. I thought you were a man who could take things in stride, but now it seems you're nothing special. Your own life is hanging by a thread, yet you waste your time looking for women. Don't you know that they are just passersby in your life? Even if you find Hua Zhuyue, what good will it do? It won't resolve your own destiny, and you will still face separation."

Xu Chunliang remained silent. Mo Han underestimated him; he had come here not just to find Hua Zhuyue.

Mo Han thought she had hit his sore spot and continued, "Feng Mingjun and his people haven't given up on monitoring you. The Orchid Gate and the Thousand Gates are also eyeing you covetously. Jiang Yucheng can't find you, so he will definitely gather all his forces to deal with you. Before they make up their minds to take action against you, we must uncover the secret of the underwater sunken city as soon as possible. Don't you understand what's more important?"

Xu Chunliang said, "An underwater sunken city? Can you be sure that the so-called treasure manual is inside?"

Mo Han said, "It's the last hope. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, we should still try our best."

Xu Chunliang asked, "How much do you know about Ji Buyao?"

Mo Han shook her head: "Wasn't he already dead?"

Xu Chunliang said, "He's just using death as a pretext to escape. I suspect he has a close connection with Jiang Yucheng. It's very possible that he... is Jiang Yucheng."

Mo Han's beautiful eyes widened in shock at the news. Now she began to understand why Xu Chunliang had appeared here.

Xu Chunliang said, "Let's make an assumption: Ji Buyao is Jiang Yucheng, and all these years, he has been plotting to obtain the Tongtian Treasure Scripture."

Mo Han thought to herself, if Xu Chunliang's speculation is true, then the person who imprisoned her mother is Ji Buyao.

Xu Chunliang said, "He already has quite a few cards in his hand, and he will play them one by one when he needs to play them."

Mo Han whispered, "You mean Hua Zhuyue has fallen into his hands?"

Xu Chunliang said, "I don't know how many cards he has in his hand. The reason he's not in a hurry to play his cards now is that the right time hasn't come yet. If we dive into the underwater sunken city and find what we want, he will definitely play his cards immediately."

Mo Han bit her lip. If that really happened, Xu Chunliang would definitely not risk Hua Zhuyue's life.

Xu Chunliang said, "So the most important thing we need to do is not some kind of manual, but people like Ji Buyao and Jiang Yucheng. We must remove these obstacles one by one before we can do what we want to do."

Mo Han said, "He's in the shadows, and you're in the light. Finding him won't be easy."

Xu Chunliang said confidently, "Ji Buyao has never been alone. Yuan Dongchang, Xu Dongya, Liang Shangjun, Xue Renzhong, Ouyang Qiushan, and many others have close ties with him. The key to solving the problem may lie among these people."

Mo Han asked, "So, where do you plan to start?"
