Jingwei accepted the task and left quickly.

As soon as she left, Yanri could no longer maintain the dignified image he showed in front of his subordinates. He covered his chest and gasped.

He had just suffered a great loss in the fight with Wuming. The opponent's strength was much stronger than he had previously investigated.

According to his estimation, unless more than three first-class assassins were sent out at the same time, it would be good enough not to be killed, let alone killed.

Unfortunately, except for the Six Sword Slaves, the first-class killers in Luowang are basically loners. This is why Luowang basically will not send more than two first-class killers to carry out the same mission.

So the assassination failed, and they could only put this mission aside and carry out another more important mission first.

After Luo Wang reported the news he had received in Xinzheng back to Qin, it was soon discovered that famine was about to break out.

Qin needed a victory to ease the crisis.

Chapter 16 Opportunity to Choose

Since the carriage was destroyed, Bai Yuan and others temporarily found a remote and hard-to-find cave as their place to stay.

Wuming was injured, and he needed to be treated and cured no matter what.

Although he said at the beginning that he was fine, the sword wounds were real. Bai Yuan did not dare to be careless. God knew if he would get inflamed or infected. If something happened because of it, it would be troublesome.

Wuming is the guarantee of their safety!

But they had nothing in this remote countryside, so they had to keep everything simple.

Fortunately, Taoist mental methods have a healing effect. After a period of effort, Bai Yuan helped him stop the bleeding. He then tore some clean clothes and made a simple bandage with scraps of cloth.

Looking at the wounds on Wuming's body, Bai Yuan felt a little touched.

Obviously they don't want to provoke anyone, but danger will still come and they can't avoid it no matter how hard they try.

They were lucky this time. They were surprised that Jingwei was so deeply affected by the [Sentimental Sword Technique].

If the one who came to deal with Bai Yuan and others was not Jingwei, but other first-class killers, Bai Yuan would not dare to guarantee that [Sensational Sword Technique] would have the same effect.

"Ugh!"

The more Bai Yuan thought about it, the more upset he became.

There are too many dangers in this world, it is really not as good as the days of meditation in Taiyi Mountain.

I sleep until I wake up naturally every day, go find the little goblin when I have nothing to do, and do some small things occasionally. Life is leisurely and quiet.

It’s not like now, just entered the world, before he could get famous, he was assassinated twice in a row.

Wuming, who was trying to calm down, also heard Bai Yuan's sigh.

"Do you regret going down the mountain?"

"I kind of regret being hunted like this all the time."

Bai Yuan answered very bluntly.

He was also very confused at the moment. Over the years, he had been living a free and easy life under the protection of Taoism. As a result, he lacked goals in life, or he had not found what he really wanted to do in his heart.

He even went down the mountain because of his master's order, so he felt regretful and got involved in this trouble after the assassination attempt.

Hearing this, Wuming guessed Bai Yuan’s current predicament and smiled silently.

"Have you ever thought that even if you stay in Taiyi Mountain, there will be no shortage of such things. Disputes will not disappear just because you don't get involved. You only see that Tianzong is indifferent to the world and independent, but in reality, how can Tianzong completely detach itself from the world and live in peace with the world? Even if you want to, will others be willing?"

Bai Yuan remained silent, he knew that Wuming was right.

Taoists cannot really live in peace with the world; there are always conspiracies and troubles.

He didn't come into contact with them just because Chisongzi was there to solve these problems, it doesn't mean that these things don't exist.

As one of the most prominent schools of thought, Taoism has always attracted the attention of many people, including kings of various countries.

Would a truly ambitious person be willing to leave such a powerful force alone?

Obviously impossible!

"Then what should I do?"

It took a long time for Bai Yuan to ask this question.

Wuming felt relieved after hearing this, at least Bai Yuan was willing to find the direction.

"In fact, you don't need to think too much now. You have a lot of time. You can see more of the world and find your true pursuit."

"But there is one thing I need to remind you. No matter what you want to do, you need to have enough power. This power does not only refer to force, but also many other aspects. Only with enough power can you have the opportunity to choose!"

Hearing this, Bai Yuan nodded: "I understand, thank you for your guidance, Bai Yuan will keep it in mind!"

Yes, no matter what you want to do, you first need to have enough power.

Even if you want to live a free and easy life, this is no exception.

Isn’t Wuming the best example?

He did not care about worldly affairs, did not start disputes, and devoted himself to studying and seeking the truth.

However, he was still assassinated by Luo Wang because of a sword. If Wuming did not have such powerful martial arts, could he still be alive today?

With such a good example before him, he couldn't just follow the example of some descendant of the Li Tang Dynasty who couldn't even make it after three hundred years of hard work.

Strengthening yourself is the key!

Wuming was also very happy to see that Bai Yuan had figured it out.

"Goo~"

At this moment, a strange sound was heard, and Lu covered his stomach with an embarrassed look.

"That's right. I haven't eaten anything since last night. It's normal to be hungry. Wait, I'll go find something to eat."

Bai Yuan smiled and touched Lu's head.

Wuming did not stop him, but just warned: "We don't know if Luowang's people have left yet, so be careful!"

"understood!"

Bai Yuan responded, took the Peach Blossom Sword and went out.

He was so active in looking for food not only to fill his stomach, but also because he remembered his occasionally useful entry system. If he could make another green-level food later, it might help Wuming recover from his injuries faster.

As for why they didn’t just use the grilled fish from Duhuo, there’s no need to even think about it, Wuming definitely wouldn’t eat it!

But Bai Yuan searched for a long time in the mountains and forests, but found nothing except a few mushrooms.

Originally, he was thinking of doing the next best thing and looking for a stream or river nearby to catch a fish.

But let alone fish, there wasn't even a drop of water.

"This damn place is so deserted that it's hard to even find anything to eat."

There are only a few small mushrooms, how can they be enough to eat?

Walking through the woods, Bai Yuan lamented that he had bad luck today.

At this moment, he vaguely heard someone talking in the distance, and immediately found a tree with dense leaves nearby and hid under it.

"Is it possible that there are still some assassins from Luowang who haven't left yet?"

He put the small mushrooms away, then held the Peach Blossom Sword and stared in the direction where the sound came from.

The sound came from far away and soon two figures appeared not far away.

There were just two women, one big and one small, each carrying a basket on their backs and holding a hoe in their hands.

Judging from their clothes, they might be villagers from nearby.

Wait, is there a village nearby?

Bai Yuan felt a little strange that two such ordinary people suddenly appeared in such a remote place.

"Master, it's Bai Zhi!"

The little girl suddenly cried out in surprise, then ran to the tree where Bai Yuan was, wielding a hoe.

The master that the girl mentioned, the older-looking woman, came over, looked at the angelica, and immediately wanted to test it.

"This is indeed Angelica dahurica. Do you remember what its effects are?"

"Of course I remember. Angelica dahurica, also known as Baiqi, Baiqi, and Xiangxiang, is a medicinal part of the plant. It is spicy and warm in nature. Its main functions are to dispel cold, dispel wind and relieve pain, clear the nasal passages, dry dampness and stop leukorrhea, and reduce swelling and discharge pus!"

The little girl recited the effects of Angelica dahurica as if she were reciting beans.

"Not bad!"

The woman smiled and nodded.

Then her expression suddenly changed, she put away her smile, took out a few silver needles from somewhere, looked at the tree in front of her and said coldly: "How long do you plan to eavesdrop?"

The little girl was wondering who the master was talking to.

Bai Yuan didn't expect that he would be discovered while hiding here. Although he didn't hide deliberately after finding out that there were only two ordinary women coming, he still felt a little surprised.

Chapter 17 What is professionalism?

Now that his secret has been pointed out, Bai Yuan decided not to hide it anymore to avoid being misunderstood.

He jumped down from the tree and landed in front of the two of them, scaring the little girl.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I am Bai Yuan, a disciple of the Taoist Tian Sect. Nice to meet you two ladies!"

Bai Yuan apologized immediately and revealed his identity at the same time, trying to make them believe that he was not a bad person.

The woman protected the little girl behind her, stared at Bai Yuan and asked, "Why are Tianzong disciples here?"

"I was originally going to Xiaoshengxianzhuang in Qi State with my friend, but we encountered an accident. We lost our luggage and my friend was injured. He is waiting in a cave for me to bring back food."

Bai Yuan showed the small mushrooms he had picked and told the two of them their current situation almost without warning.

The reason why he did this was simple: he wanted to get help from the two.

From the conversation between the two just now, he could infer that these two people should be familiar with medical skills.

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

If they could be asked for help, Wuming's injury would definitely heal faster.

Isn’t it more stable than betting on entries?

After listening to Bai Yuan's explanation, the woman nodded slightly, but still did not let down her guard.

After all, in such a deserted place, a man who looked to have strong martial arts skills suddenly appeared, so they could not be too careful.

Bai Yuan also noticed that she was still on guard, but he still asked, "From what I heard from your conversation just now, I think you must be well versed in medical knowledge. Although it is very presumptuous, I still want to ask you to help me treat my friend."

He was very sincere and bowed deeply.

"Master...why don't we go take a look?"

The little girl tugged at the woman's clothes and suggested in a low voice.

The woman frowned and looked at the little girl's big watery eyes, feeling a little hesitant to make a decision.

"Although he just scared me, I believe he is not lying."

The little girl pointed at Bai Yuan with a little resentment, but still spoke well of him.

The woman saw that Bai Yuan's attitude was indeed sincere and didn't seem like he was acting, so she nodded slightly.

"Okay! We can heal your friend's wounds, but if I find out you're deceiving us, my silver needles won't go unpunished!"

She showed him a few silver needles and warned him viciously.

Bai Yuan immediately apologized with a smile: "I guarantee on the reputation of Tianzong that I have never deceived you!"

Seeing that he said this, the woman stopped being aggressive.

Seeing that they believed in him, Bai Yuan felt much better. Although he didn't find anything to eat, the gains from this trip were much greater than just a little food.

After the other party agreed to treat Wuming, Bai Yuan also asked politely: "What are your names?"

"Just call me Nian Duan. This is my disciple Duan Murong."

Hearing these two names, he was slightly stunned.

The heirs of the medical family, Nian Duan and Duan Mu Rong!
