Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

Two days have passed on the back mountain of the Jin family, and the stone gate where Yan Zonghan is in seclusion remains tightly closed.

Outside the mountain gate, Jin Shouye and Jin Shouzheng, along with several members of the collateral branches, stood guard.

Kim Sung-yeol, who had caused this trouble, hid behind a large rock, not daring to approach or go far.

"How about... we head back today?"

One of the collateral relatives suggested in a low voice.

Jin Shouye turned around and glared at him: "Go back what?! The Grand Elder could emerge from seclusion at any moment, so just you wait!"

Then he turned to look at Jin Shouzhen, "Third brother, is there any news from your side?"

Jin Shouzheng sighed, "It was already agreed that I had an old connection with the Municipal Bureau, and they agreed to send a team of plainclothes officers to take the person into custody on the pretext of disturbing the peace."

"This morning, before I even left the house, he called and stammered for a long time before saying he couldn't do it."

Why?

"They said someone from above passed on a message, and subtly implied that the Qian family was involved in this matter."

"The Qian family? Qian Yunlong is still unconscious. How much power could Qian Xinya, a mere girl, possibly have?"

"It's not just Qian Xinya."

Jin Shouzheng's expression was grim. "The Qian family publicly declares they will never enter politics again, but how many important figures have been shaded by that crooked tree at their old family home?"

"It's much more effective for them to just say one sentence than for us to call them one by one. Those who promised before are now all hiding their heads. Now, only the military branch line hasn't responded yet."

Jin Shouye said with a grim face, "If the military operation falls through again, where will the Jin family put their face?"

"The military will not fail."

Jin Shouzhen lowered his voice, "That's the root of our Jin family, but the commotion is too great. Once it's done, I'm afraid the old man will..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kim Sung-yeol poked his head out from behind the rock. "Dad, Third Uncle, how about we send the Golden Shield Security people over? We've supported them for so many years, they should do some work."

Jin Shouye was already furious, and upon hearing this, he grabbed a wooden stick from the ground and swung it at Jin Chenglie, yelling, "Golden Shield Security? Have you lost your mind?"

"If Jin Dun can take down Chu Nan, why would our Jin family still need to keep guest retainers? I'll beat you to death today, you troublemaker!"

Kim Sung-yeol was so frightened that he covered his head and ran away, shouting as he ran, "Dad! I was wrong! I was really wrong! Uncle, save me!"

Jin Shouzheng and several collateral relatives rushed up to pull them away, some pulling and some tugging, creating chaos outside the mountain gate.

Just as Kim Soo-yeol was chasing Kim Sung-yeol around the field, a low tremor suddenly came from deep in the back mountain.

Dust fell from the stone gate, and pebbles on the ground bounced up.

Immediately afterwards, the stone door, which had been closed for who knows how long, slowly opened, and a tall figure walked out of the cave.

He was wearing an old, faded coarse cloth shirt with the trousers rolled up to his ankles, revealing skin as rough as tree bark.

Her hair was gray, and it was casually tied up with a wooden hairpin.

Long eyebrows reaching to her temples, eyes half-closed.

There was no towering wave of energy or dazzling light as expected, but the moment this person appeared at the cave entrance, everyone felt as if a hand had been pressed against their chest, making it hard to breathe.

"The Grand Master has emerged from seclusion!"

Someone shouted, and the crowd, which had been in a chaotic state, stood up straight and began to bow.

"Congratulations on your completion of your seclusion, Great Master!"

Jin Jiucheng also received the news and rushed over.

Yan Zonghan stepped out of the cave, his eyes adjusting to the outside light.

He seemed to be in a good mood, with even a faint smile on his lips, as if he had gained a lot during his seclusion.

The moment Gu Changfeng sensed his aura, his expression changed instantly. "Brother Yan, you... you've broken through to the Celestial Realm?!"

Judging from the aura that Yan Zonghan exuded, he already seemed to have transcended the realm of a grandmaster.

Yan Zonghan smiled and said, "I'm only at the peak of the Grandmaster level, but... I'm only one opportunity away from breaking through to the Celestial Realm."

"Simply going into seclusion was no longer effective, so I came out of seclusion ahead of schedule."

As he was speaking, his smile gradually faded as his gaze swept over the group of people bowing outside the mountain gate.

It's no small matter for me to come out of seclusion, but is it really necessary to make such a big fuss and have all the members of the Jin family come to welcome me?

Moreover, Yan Zonghan discovered that Gu Changfeng was injured, and seriously so.

Even Jin Jiucheng, who usually greets him with a friendly smile, now has a gloomy expression.

Yan Zonghan frowned slightly and, without beating around the bush, asked directly, "Ninth Brother, has something happened at home?"

Jin Jiucheng nodded and recounted how Chu Nan had disrupted the birthday banquet, injured Gu Changfeng, taken away 5 billion and the spiritual medicine, and set a three-day agreement.

He spoke slowly and tried to remain calm, but when he mentioned Gu Changfeng's defeat, his voice involuntarily deepened.

"In her early twenties..."

After listening, Yan Zonghan remained silent for a while, then turned to Gu Changfeng and said, "Brother Gu, tell me in detail about your fight with him."

Gu Changfeng did not hide anything and recounted the events of that day in detail: "This person cultivates two completely different types of true qi. One is golden, which is powerful and robust, and the other is crimson, which is as violent as flames."

"My Sky-Splitting Style was shattered head-on by his fire-attribute martial arts. I... didn't even manage to force him to reveal his trump card."

"Two types of auxiliary true energy?"

Yan Zonghan's eyes lit up, revealing not fear, but the excitement of a hunter who has found a worthy prey. "When did such a person emerge in the capital?"

Jin Jiucheng, standing to the side, said, "On the surface, this person is just a community clinic doctor in a small town called Sihai, but he was able to defeat the Second Elder at such a young age. Obviously, he can't have such a simple background. You see..."

Yan Zonghan said calmly, "Ninth Brother, rest assured. This brat not only injured Brother Gu, but also disgraced the Jin family. I will definitely not stand idly by."

Jin Jiucheng breathed a slight sigh of relief and added, "If the Grand Elder has any orders, the entire Jin family will be at your service."

Yan Zonghan waved his hand, "No need for a big fuss. Just have Shuheng deliver a challenge. The appointed time is tomorrow at sunrise, and the decisive battle will take place at Wangjing Plain. At that time, life and death... will depend on our own abilities!"

A middle-aged man in his forties with a calm face stepped forward quickly, first bowing to Jin Jiucheng, and then respectfully cupping his hands to Yan Zonghan, saying, "Master."

Yan Zonghan said calmly, "Go and deliver Chu Nan's challenge letter as I instructed. When you meet him, just convey the message."

"Disciple understands."

Yue Shuheng stood up, bowed to Jin Jiucheng and Yan Zonghan respectively, and strode down the mountain.

Yan Zonghan turned around and faced the darkening sky in the distance.

The evening breeze swept through the mountains, making the hem of his old short jacket flutter in the wind.

"It's been far too long since a Grandmaster has died in this capital city."

He muttered something under his breath, then shook his head to himself, "I hope Chu Nan won't disappoint me..."
