Chapter 1387: Healing Wu Dan

When Gu Yanqi learned that the Third Elder knew their identities and still helped them conceal them, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

To be honest, she had been on edge the whole time, terrified that something would happen if they were discovered.

The treatment had basically reached its conclusion; Ning Chen withdrew his hand first, leaving only Xiao Han to continue treating the other person.

After treating him for not long, Xiao Han stopped, and Wu Dan slowly sank into the ground, waiting to awaken.

Ning Chen glanced at Wu Dan; his injuries had mostly healed, his internal organs had returned to their proper places, and his heart meridians were all reconnected, making him essentially no different from an ordinary person.

In fact, during the treatment, Ning Chen and Xiao Han discovered that the two of them could restore Wu Dan's cultivation power, but both of them unhesitatingly gave up on doing so.

Regardless, the Hagoromo Bird was released by Wu Dan; this was the punishment he deserved, so in that case, let him remain this way.

About ten minutes passed, and Wu Dan came to consciousness; he opened his eyes, looked at the azure sky, and his mind was still struggling to catch up.

He remembered feeling intense pain all over his body, after which he became completely incapacitated; then, it seemed he went to a very dark place, his consciousness gradually fading, until just as he was about to perish, he was suddenly pulled back by a force.

Wu Dan got up, moved his body, and was surprised to find that it didn't hurt at all; basically, there was no sensation of pain.

Seeing that Wu Dan had awakened, Ning Chen and Xiao Han exchanged a glance, then both stepped forward to check his condition.

"How are you?"

Wu Dan raised his head, looking at the unfamiliar face before him; to be honest, the other person's expressionless demeanor made him feel it was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Wu Dan racked his brains but couldn't remember who the other person was, so he stopped thinking and sat on the ground, looking up at the other side.

"Why did you save me?"

Although Wu Dan was arrogant and not particularly kind-hearted, he had previously been considered a person with great spiritual aptitude within the Men Sect, and he was also the eldest disciple of an Elder, so his intelligence was inherently very high.

Upon careful thought, Wu Dan also understood who had saved him, but he didn't understand; logically speaking, Xiao Han should have hated him very much, so why would he save him?

"Get up."

Xiao Han didn't answer Wu Dan's question; instead, he issued a two-character command.

Wu Dan pressed his lips together, then obediently stood up from the ground.

"Take two steps, then turn around."

Following Xiao Han's command, Wu Dan walked a few steps around the area, then turned in a circle.

"Jump once."

Wu Dan choked up; what on earth was all this for!

After jumping once, Wu Dan looked at Xiao Han and said, "Stop! I am not here for your amusement; what exactly do you want?"

Xiao Han glanced at him and said calmly, "Your body is basically healed."

Wu Dan was stunned for a moment, then muttered quietly, "So this was just to check if I was healed or not; you should have said so earlier."

Miss Hongxiu, standing nearby, was barely holding back her laughter; in fact, Xiao Han was really just teasing him, since the two of them had treated Wu Dan, how could they not know if he was healed or not?

"Alright, alright, speak up; since you've fixed me, what is it that you want?" Wu Dan sighed, walked over to Xiao Han's side, and looked at him, asking.

"I need to know what exactly your Master did to the Sect Leader."

This sentence immediately caused Wu Dan to break down; he looked at Xiao Han with a complex expression and asked a question: "Is it really true that you and the Sect Leader wanted to swallow up the entire Zhenggemen Sect?"

Xiao Han frowned; what did this statement mean?

Ning Chen placed a hand on Xiao Han's shoulder, then stepped forward: "If he truly had such thoughts, he wouldn't have been trying so hard to find the truth behind the Sect Leader's death; he is the next Sect Leader, so what benefit would doing such a thing bring him?"

"You are...?" Wu Dan looked at Ning Chen in confusion; to be honest, he really felt the other person was very familiar.

Ning Chen looked at Miss Hongxiu; Miss Hongxiu understood, nodded, and said, "I think there is no need to hide anything anymore."

After speaking, Miss Hongxiu reached out and removed the mask from her face, then helped Gu Yanqi remove her mask as well.

Seeing the person behind the mask, Wu Dan was greatly shocked: "Mis... Miss Hongxiu?!"

Seeing this, Ning Chen also tore off his mask and then handed it to Miss Hongxiu for safekeeping.

"It's you?!"

Seeing the person behind the mask, Wu Dan's gaze moved incredulously back and forth in front of several people.

Xiao Han looked at the Third Elder and bowed slightly: "Third Elder, we did not intentionally want to hide this from you."

The Third Elder waved his hand and smiled: "I know; actually, from the first time I saw you, I felt something strange; although you pretended not to know each other, there was a magnetic field between you, a magnetic field that only you possessed, linking each of you; at that time, I didn't dare to be certain, but later, seeing how much Xiao Han paid attention to you, I roughly guessed."

The Third Elder indeed knew; Ning Chen looked at the Third Elder and nodded slightly in acknowledgement.

Wu Dan didn't expect this to happen; he sighed deeply: "Alright, Xiao Han, I believe you; to be honest, I was really jealous of you; we two joined the Men Sect at the same time, I possessed spiritual aptitude, but yours was even better than mine; you joined under the Sect Leader, while I could only join under the Second Elder; whether in ability or interpersonal relationships, you were stronger than me; I was really very jealous; clearly I was also very capable, and clearly what you achieved, I could achieve too."

This counted as the first time Wu Dan expressed his thoughts about Xiao Han; in the past, he used various methods to strive to conceal this jealousy, because doing so would indirectly admit that he considered Xiao Han to be powerful.

But until now, he had never beaten Xiao Han once; during the years Xiao Han was forced to leave, he heard countless times within the Men Sect that people did not believe Xiao Han would do such things, and words missing him.

Sometimes, Wu Dan really didn't understand; where exactly was Xiao Han good? What kind of bewitching medicine had he given everyone?

And now, Wu Dan roughly understood; everything about Xiao Han was reflected in every aspect, and these were things he would truly never be able to surpass.

"The Sect Leader was killed by the Second Elder." Wu Dan lowered his head and said calmly.

Xiao Han's eyebrows twitched; he looked at Wu Dan, and there wasn't much surprise in his eyes; he had guessed this long ago.

"At that time, the Second Elder told me that the Sect Leader and Xiao Han wanted to close the Men Sect, expel everyone, and monopolize the entire Men Sect's immortal artifacts; he said he wanted to stop this, so he first sent the Snow Demon to bring the Sect Leader out, then had me pretend to be knocked unconscious by the Snow Demon, so the Sect Leader would come to treat me; at this moment, the Second Elder launched a surprise attack from behind."

Speaking of this, Wu Dan suddenly burst into tears, covering his face and weeping bitterly.
