One person: Lu Jin, do I look like your master?

He led him to a secluded courtyard in the best location of the compound, a quiet and elegant spot.

The courtyard is not large, but it has pavilions, towers, bridges and streams, and the furnishings are simple yet exquisite. Every detail shows the owner's care and respect.

"Master Wang."

Gao Lian stood in the courtyard, bowed deeply to Wang Xuan once more, his tone utterly sincere.

"Please rest here. It is getting late, so I will not disturb you any longer. Tomorrow, I will certainly host a banquet to express my sincere gratitude to the master for saving my daughter!"

At that time, Mr. Gao will certainly offer a generous reward, and I hope that the master will not refuse!

His attitude was extremely respectful, treating Wang Xuan as an honored guest.

Wang Xuan glanced at the now completely dark sky, nodded, and did not refuse.

He replied with just two words, then turned and went into the room prepared for him.

Gao Lian stared at the closed door of Wang Xuan, stood there for a long time, and then let out a long sigh of relief. His face showed a complex expression that was a mixture of exhaustion, ecstasy, and boundless gratitude.

The Gao family compound, bathed in the warm glow of nightlight, seemed to become even more peaceful, a result of the joy of regaining what was lost.

Chapter 99 The Company's Importance

The next morning, as the sky was just beginning to lighten and cast a soft glow upon the Gao family compound, Wang Xuan slowly opened his eyes from a night of quiet meditation.

He did not sleep like ordinary people, but instead used meditation to regulate his breathing, immersing his mind in the understanding of "Tao" and the nurturing of his own Qi.

The night passed without him feeling tired at all; on the contrary, he felt refreshed and clear-headed, with his innate Qi flowing freely within his body.

It subtly echoes the fresh air of the newborn world in the early morning, full of vigorous vitality.

This kind of cultivation that aligns with the Tao is itself a profound form of rest and fulfillment.

The secluded courtyard arranged by the Gao family was very quiet, and the servants were very considerate, not disturbing the place too early.

Wang Xuan got up. All the toiletries in the room were already prepared, and they were all of the highest quality.

After a quick wash and changing into clean clothes, he opened the door and went out.

The air in the courtyard was exceptionally crisp in the early morning, carrying the fragrance of earth and grass.

He didn't deliberately use his eyes to search; he simply relaxed his senses slightly, and his keen intuition spread out naturally like mercury spilling onto the ground.

In an instant, he caught Erzhuang's familiar yet completely different life force from yesterday—no longer the weak and incomplete one that relied on life support equipment.

Instead, it was full of vitality, vigor, and even a hint of excited unease, as if it had just been reborn.

Following his senses, he passed through several moon gates and corridors, arriving at a sunny, level training ground. Several ancient, vigorous pine trees stood at the edge of the ground, adding to the solemnity and tranquility of the place.

At this moment, in the training ground, Gao Lian was carefully supporting a figure, which was Gao Yushan (Erzhuang).

She was wearing a loose and comfortable training outfit, and her complexion was much rosier than when she had just woken up yesterday, but she seemed a little clumsy and stiff in her movements.

Her legs seemed to have a mind of their own, each step was extremely slow and difficult, and she needed to rely on Gao Lian's support to keep her steady. Fine beads of sweat had already seeped from her forehead.

Clearly, although Wang Xuan had perfectly repaired his physical body, the fact that his soul had been separated from his body for several years and his physical body was in a near-vegetative state meant that he needed to relearn and adapt to this "brand new" body.

"Master Wang, you're awake!"

Gao Lian noticed Wang Xuan walking slowly towards him immediately, stopped what he was doing, and greeted him respectfully.

His eyes were filled with gratitude, and also with a hint of embarrassment at being in front of such a great man because of his daughter's limited mobility.

Erzhuang, who was being supported by his father, also looked up at Wang Xuan upon hearing the sound.

In the morning light, her face was clearly revealed. She was completely different from the lively and unrestrained "Erzhuang" in the online world, who could freely use emojis.

In real life, she possesses a gentle and quiet demeanor, a quality honed by a scholarly family, and an elegant temperament, like a rare orchid in a secluded valley.

But in those big eyes, besides the confusion of just waking up, there was also a strong curiosity about Wang Xuan and an almost overflowing gratitude.

"Master Wang."

She called out softly, her voice much clearer than yesterday's hoarseness, carrying the gentleness unique to young girls, and her tone was very respectful.

Looking at her serene demeanor, so different from her online persona, Wang Xuan's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile, and he nodded in response.

He didn't say much, nor did he step forward to intervene. He simply walked to a stone bench at the edge of the training ground and sat down.

With his arms crossed, he stood quietly, like an ordinary bystander, watching Gao Lian patiently support Er Zhuang as he walked and adapted to the environment, step by step, very slowly.

Seeing that Wang Xuan had no intention of leaving, Gao Lian felt even more at ease and devoted himself to giving guidance.

He would sometimes whisper encouragement, and sometimes correct Erzhuang's incorrect exertion posture, revealing his meticulous fatherly love.

Although Erzhuang was struggling to move and sweat was beading on his forehead, his eyes were unusually determined.

She tried hard to feel the ground beneath her feet, and tried to engage those "unfamiliar" muscles, making small progress, such as being able to stand a little more steadily.

Even taking just half a step on her own would bring a gleam of joy to her eyes.

She would occasionally steal a glance at Wang Xuan, who sat quietly watching, as if she could gain extra strength from that tranquility.

Time slipped away quietly in this monotonous yet hopeful rehabilitation session. The sunlight gradually grew brighter and warmer, shining on the father and daughter on the field.

After about an hour, Erzhuang's progress was obvious thanks to his persistent efforts.

She no longer needs Gao Lian's full support; her father only needs to provide slight assistance from the side.

She was able to walk more than ten steps independently, though still slowly and with somewhat uncoordinated movements! This was undoubtedly a huge breakthrough for her!

Seeing this, Gao Lian smiled with relief. He gestured for Er Zhuang to rest against a nearby pine tree, and then quickly walked over to Wang Xuan.

"Master Wang, please excuse my poor appearance."

Gao Lian wiped the sweat from his forehead, both physical and mental.

Wang Xuan shook his head, indicating that it was alright.

Gao Lian looked at Wang Xuan's calm profile, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell him the truth:

"Master Wang, to be honest, after settling my daughter in last night, I reported your success in curing her to the company headquarters."

He carefully observed Wang Xuan's expression, and seeing that the other party showed no displeasure, he continued:

"Headquarters is extremely shocked by your methods."

Gao Lian was not exaggerating at all. After the company circulated the news that "Gao Yushan has been completely restored physically by Wang Xuan" and some non-core monitoring data within a small circle of senior management,

The resulting shock was ten or even a hundred times stronger than Liao Zhong's previous report!

Liao Zhong's case can also be interpreted as Wang Xuan possibly having a special restraint or understanding of "primitive Gu".

But Erzhuang's situation was completely different! It was a pure and extreme reconstruction targeting physical defects! It was a true "regeneration of severed limbs" and "flesh and blood regeneration"!

The company's senior management, especially Zhao Fangxu, remained silent for a long time after receiving the report.

They quickly reassessed Wang Xuan's value and potential risks.

The conclusion is that its value can no longer be described simply as "strategic".

The significance of someone with such incredible healing abilities lies not only in how many "Erzhuang" or "Liao Zhong" he can save, but also in the person himself.

It is an "ultimate resource" that can influence the situation and is fiercely contested by countless forces!

Whether it's an old monster trying to prolong his life or various forces seeking to save an important figure, they would probably go to any lengths to befriend, or rather... control, Wang Xuan.

Of course, the company's primary strategy at present remains to do everything possible to maintain good relations with them and absolutely avoid making enemies.

"The entire company is now paying more and more attention to Master Wang."

Gao Lian said sincerely.

"Everyone understands that your medical skills are nothing short of miraculous. A doctor with such abilities is destined to be a highly sought-after guest, no matter where he is."

His words conveyed the company's attitude and were also a subtle reminder.

The taller the tree, the more the wind will blow against it. The more amazing Wang Xuan's abilities are, the more troubles he may face in the future.

After listening, Wang Xuan's face remained calm, and he simply said "Oh" as if Gao Lian had only said something as ordinary as "the weather is nice today."

Chapter 100 The Demon Sword Hirumaru

Wang Xuan didn't really take Gao Lian's report on the details of Er Zhuang's recovery to the company seriously.

This was within his expectations and also within reason.

Such a significant event occurred within the company's important fortified location, with numerous researchers present. Even if Gao Lian wanted to conceal it, he simply couldn't.

Moreover, in Wang Xuan's view, this was not some shameful matter or conspiracy that needed to be hidden; it was simply a matter of using methods to save a person, and it was all aboveboard and there was nothing to hide.

He acts solely on his conscience, and as long as external attention or evaluations don't actively cause him trouble, he doesn't bother to pay attention to them.

The luncheon was held in the main hall of the Gao family compound. It was a very high-class affair with exquisite dishes, clearly prepared with great care.

Gao Lian accompanied Er Zhuang, who was already able to walk independently, and the atmosphere at the meal was harmonious.

Gao Lian spoke earnestly, raising his cup repeatedly to express his gratitude to Wang Xuan for saving his daughter, to an almost unbearable degree.

Although Erzhuang didn't talk much and seemed a bit quiet and shy, his expressive eyes were always filled with sincere gratitude.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Gao Lian took out an antique wooden box from his pocket. Inside was a black card made of a special material, printed with intricate dark patterns.

He pushed the wooden box towards Wang Xuan with both hands, his tone solemn:

“Mr. Wang, I am deeply grateful and cannot express my thanks. This is just a small token of my appreciation. It contains some mundane items, but please do not find them offensive and please accept them.”

Wang Xuan glanced at the card and knew that it was no ordinary bank card; it was very likely linked to some of the Gao family's resources or a huge amount of wealth.

He didn't refuse; he accepted it naturally and casually put it in his pocket, as if he were just accepting an ordinary business card.

"Master Gao, you're too kind."

He said lightly.

He was not a greedy person; the money he earned from daily system check-ins had long since ensured that he never had to worry about money.

However, he was well-versed in human nature and understood that if he did not accept any money this time, it would seem like he was of noble character, but in reality, it would lead to endless troubles.

Firstly, it would make Gao Lian feel like he owes a huge favor, leaving him uneasy and likely causing him to try to compensate in other ways in the future, which would only lead to further complications.

Secondly, if word gets out that Wang Xuan heals people without expecting anything in return, countless people with various motives will come seeking his medical help, which will be extremely troublesome.

Receiving payment clarifies the boundaries, indicating that it is merely a transaction, a settlement where neither party owes the other anything, thus avoiding many unnecessary troubles.

Just as the banquet atmosphere was harmonious and everyone was relaxed, a sudden, urgent cell phone ringtone shattered the warmth.

Gao Lian frowned, took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID; it was an internal emergency line from the company.

He gave Wang Xuan an apologetic look, then answered the phone.

"Hello? It's me... What? A live stream?!"

Gao Lian's smiling face instantly darkened upon hearing the report from the other end of the phone. His brows furrowed, and his tone became serious and urgent.

While listening to the phone call, he urgently said to Erzhuang, who was sitting next to him:

"Erzhuang! Quickly! Get online immediately and use every means at your disposal to suppress the live stream video and related discussions circulating on all major platforms! The sooner the better! Control the public opinion!"

Although Erzhuang has just recovered and is still not very mobile, when it comes to cyber warfare, she is still the omnipotent "cyber god".

Upon hearing this, she didn't hesitate at all; her eyes instantly became focused, as if countless streams of data were flashing through her pupils.

She didn't even need any electronic devices; relying solely on her special abilities, her consciousness instantly connected to the vast network world, and she began to carry out her father's instructions.

"Dad, what happened? Why is it so urgent?"

While searching for his target in the digital ocean, Erzhuang asked a question with a hint of doubt in his voice.

Gao Lian put down the phone, his face extremely grim. He took a deep breath and explained to Wang Xuan and Er Zhuang very quickly:

"A group of livestreamers who do outdoor adventures found a knife in the ruins left over from the Japanese occupation period deep in the Changbai Mountains."

One of them, whether out of curiosity or some other inducement, reached out and touched the knife… and immediately lost control!

His voice carried a hint of coldness:

"He was like a completely different person, incredibly strong, with a crazed look in his eyes, and he used that knife to... kill another streamer who was with him!"

The entire process was witnessed by countless online viewers because their live streaming equipment was always on!

The video is now spreading like wildfire online, and public opinion is quickly becoming uncontrollable!

A murder was broadcast live in broad daylight! And in such a bizarre way! The impact of this incident is extremely negative.
