Chapter 790: 790

Chapter 790 When the Cat’s Away, the Mice Will Play!

In a huge manor located in Nanjiang, a woman entered the lobby of the manor.

In the main hall, a middle-aged man dressed in a black Chinese tunic suit and wearing round gold-rimmed glasses was reading a book while seated on a wooden chair at the side of the hall. Beside him was a pot of fragrant tea.

This person was none other than the Patriarch of the Diwu family in Nanjiang, Diwu Mingchuan!

“You’re back?”

Without raising his head, Diwu Mingchuan said softly when he heard the footsteps.

“Yeah.”

In front of the door, a beautiful figure nodded with a smile.

“Haha.”

Diwu Mingchuan put down the book in his hand, looked at the person in front of the door, and said, “You haven’t drunk the fragrant tea Dad makes for you for a long time, right? We don’t have many other things in Nanjiang, but we have a lot of tea.”

While they were talking, the woman in front of the door walked in and she was none other than Diwu Qian.

“Did you find anything?”

As soon as Diwu Qian was seated, Diwu Mingchuan, who was making tea for her, asked her.

“No.”

Diwu Qian shook her head and said, “As far as I know, no one from the other forces seems to be able to find out anything about him. It seems that someone deliberately concealed his identity. Except for a name, we know nothing else about him.”

“Name?”

Diwu Mingchuan asked, “What’s his name?”

“Lin Yu.”

Diwu Qian said, “I asked someone to carefully investigate this name and discovered that there were no less than 100,000 people in the country with this name. After making exclusions, we confirmed John Doe’s identity. But when we dug deeper into his identity, we failed to find any information.”

“There’s no rush.”

Diwu Mingchuan handed her a cup of hot tea with a grin. “Even though we can’t find it now, it doesn’t mean that we can’t find it in the future. We can search slowly.”

After returning home, Yun Yangzi also exploited the powerful intelligence system of the Pear Garden to check up on John Doe. As a result, he did not find anything, just like the Diwu family.

Apart from those powerful families, there were numerous people and forces in Wulin who were interested in John Doe. But no matter how hard they searched, they could not find any information about John Doe.

Under these circumstances, all the people in Wulin felt particularly puzzled.

They would never expect that it was the country behind John Doe that helped conceal all traces of him. Not only all the information about Lin Yu, but even the traces of John Doe related to the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine were completely erased.

After all, if the country made a move, no one would be able to beat it.

“Haha…”

In a deep mountain where a famous Taoist cultivation place was located, there was suddenly a burst of laughter in the mountain forest.

A young man was laying under the shade of a giant tree. He was particularly comfortable as he lay basking in the warm sunshine while playing with his mobile phone. He was also chewing a long green blade of grass.

“John Doe defeated Yun Yangzi.”

“The battle of the No.1?”

Looking at the news on the Wulin forum, the young man couldn’t help but chuckle disdainfully, “When the Cat’s Away, the Mice Will Play. Since when can anyone be known as the No.1 in Wulin?”

The young man snorted.

He was scornful of the title of the No. 1 young genius on the Wulin forum.

“A ninth-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian can be the best in the world. This one is even more ridiculous. A seventh-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian can defeat a ninth-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian. Although they bragged that he was so awesome, he only has such little strength. How dare he compete for the first place?”

“If it weren’t for the fact that my master didn’t allow me to go down the mountain after putting me here, it would be a piece of cake for me to win the first place with my current strength.”

“Whatever. I’ll let you enjoy it for a few days. When I go down the mountain, I’ll let you know how powerful I am!”

The young man put the phone in his trouser pocket, and then immediately got up. With a quick shift, he flew quickly toward the distant valley.

This young man turned out to be a guru!

In Jiangjing, Fang Qiu got off the high-speed train as Lin Yu, and then quietly went to the vicinity of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine. After changing back to Fang Qiu’s identity, he walked into the school as he called Jiang Miaoyu.

“Hello?”

Jiang Miaoyu’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“I’m back.”

Fang Qiu smiled and said, “If I remember correctly, you don’t have class this morning, right?”

“No, I don’t.”

Jiang Miaoyu replied.

Fang Qiu asked, “Have you eaten breakfast?”

Jiang Miaoyu answered, “Yeah.”

“Well, can you tell me what you wanted to tell me now?”

Fang Qiu asked casually, for fear that Jiang Miaoyu would be displeased because of this matter. After all, when she wanted to say something but failed to before, she looked really upset.

“Where are you now?”

As expected, Jiang Miaoyu changed her tone and asked hesitantly.

Fang Qiu said, “I just entered the school.”

Jiang Miaoyu said, “Wait for me by the Central Lake then. I’ll be right there.”

“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded. After hanging up, he walked straight to Central Lake.

Shortly afterward, Jiang Miaoyu arrived.

Walking to Fang Qiu’s side, Jiang Miaoyu bit her lip gently and was still hesitating.

Fang Qiu did not hasten to ask her.

Instead, he held Jiang Miaoyu’s hand and started to walk around Central Lake with her. He didn’t say anything, giving Jiang Miaoyu enough time to think.

In this case, Jiang Miaoyu pondered for a long time before she opened her mouth, “I, I have something to tell you.”

“Well, go ahead.” Fang Qiu nodded with a smile.

“I…”

Jiang Miaoyu lowered her head and did not dare to meet Fang Qiu’s eyes. She said, “I signed up for the Africa Medical Aid Team of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine.”

“What?”

Fang Qiu was stunned and said, “You’re only a sophomore now. This medical aid team can be regarded as an internship, right?”

“I’ve also passed this semester’s final exam.”

Jiang Miaoyu explained, “So, I can go to Africa. If things go well, I will stay there for a year. I only need to come back next year to take the exit exam for the next semester.”

“You.”

Fang Qiu stopped and gazed at Jiang Miaoyu seriously. He hesitated for a moment before asking, “Do you have to go?”

“Yeah.”

Jiang Miaoyu nodded heavily.

“Whew…”

Seeing this, Fang Qiu heaved a long sigh. After a period of silence, he said with a wry smile, “Although I don’t want to let you go, since this is your choice, I will definitely support you!”

As Fang Qiu spoke, he spread out his arms and pulled Jiang Miaoyu into his arms. As he held her tightly, he whispered in her ear, “I’m going to sign up now. Is it too late?”

“You missed the deadline and there are enough people. Everything is ready.”

Jiang Miaoyu shook her head with a smile.

“All right then.”

Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and asked, “When are you leaving? I’ll see you off.”

“In the morning, the day after tomorrow.”

Fang Qiu nodded knowingly. “When the time comes, I’ll see you off.”

Then, the two of them held each other’s hands and wandered around Central Lake for a long time before they returned to their own dormitories.

Back in the dormitory, Fang Qiu immediately turned on his laptop, searched for information on the school forum, and also searched on the Internet. Only then did he know that there were really such medical aid teams in Africa because malaria was prevalent there. These medical aid teams were going to treat malaria there.

“I didn’t expect that malaria in Africa would be so serious. There are medical aid teams all over the world going over to help.”

After reading the information on the Internet, Fang Qiu couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Beep, beep, beep…”

At this time, his phone suddenly rang.

He took it out and found that it was a call from Zhao Shanlin.

“Hello, Mr. Zhao?”

Fang Qiu answered the phone.

“Fang Qiu.”

On the other end of the phone came Zhao Shanlin’s joyful voice. He said, “Let me tell you a piece of good news. I’ve successfully cultivated the Tianshan Snow Lotus that you’ve asked me to cultivate!”

“Really?”

Fang Qiu was surprised the moment he heard the news.

He didn’t expect that Mr. Zhao would be able to successfully cultivate the Tianshan Snow Lotus in such a short time. It was really amazing.

“Yeah!”

Zhao Shanlin nodded with certainty and said, “Come and have a look when you are available.”

When Fang Qiu heard that, he thought that since Jiang Miaoyu was about to leave the day after tomorrow, he had to see her off in person, so he still had two days left.

He counted with his fingers.

It was still early in the morning, and it was not even time for breakfast.

That was to say, he could go to Beijiang right now and come back tomorrow. Then he would be able to see Jiang Miaoyu off just in time the day after tomorrow.

“I’m coming right now.”

After saying that to Mr. Zhao, Fang Qiu hung up. He booked his ticket online, called a car and rushed to the airport.

He waited at the airport for an hour.

It was almost lunchtime when Fang Qiu boarded the plane.

At about two o’clock in the afternoon, the plane landed at Beijiang Airport.

Zhao Shanlin had already arranged for someone to pick him up. Therefore, as soon as he arrived at the airport, Fang Qiu got in the car and rushed all the way to the cultivation base.

When he arrived at the cultivation base, Zhao Shanlin was already waiting in front of the gate.

“Mr. Zhao.”

Fang Qiu got out of the car and greeted him.

Zhao Shanlin asked, “You came so fast. You didn’t delay anything in school, did you?”

“It’s ok. It didn’t affect anything.”

Fang Qiu smiled and asked, “Where is the Tianshan Snow Lotus?”

“Come with me.”

Knowing that Fang Qiu came here especially for the Tianshan Snow Lotus that he had cultivated, Zhao Shanlin did not delay and instantly took Fang Qiu to the storage warehouse of the cultivation base.

When they entered the warehouse, Fang Qiu swept around and found that the warehouse was empty. There was nothing in it.

“In the ice house below.”

As if sensing Fang Qiu’s doubt, Mr. Zhao said with a smile, “Most of the Tianshan Snow Lotuses grow in low-temperature conditions. They can only be cultivated in such a condition. We don’t have any other equipment here. So we can only temporarily get a small ice house underground.”

“Yeah.”

Fang Qiu nodded.

He followed Zhao Shanlin to the innermost part of the warehouse. As expected, he saw a thick piece of black iron on the ground.

Zhao Shanlin pulled the switch.

This piece of black iron was immediately lifted up.

The heavy cold air that flowed out could be seen with the naked eye.

“Let’s go.”

Zhao Shanlin shouted and took the lead in walking down.

Fang Qiu went forward, and what came into sight was a staircase leading to the bottom. It might have been deliberately made when they were digging the underground ice house.

Walking into the ice house, Fang Qiu was taken back by the scene in front of him!
