Chapter 1245: Meeting Chu Muyun Again
Meeting Chu Muyun Again
Familiar words, familiar attire, a familiar figure.
Reuniting after this long separation of over half a year, at this moment, Chen Ling felt as if he had returned to the Aurora Domain, remembering the scene when he first met Chu Muyun... A surge of emotion suddenly welled up in his heart.
"I had thought that if only you were in the South Sea Domain, it would be great."
Chen Ling paused for a moment. "But thinking about it carefully, out of so many Domains, the probability of you being in the South Sea Domain wasn't high... So I actually didn't hold much hope."
"It indeed is a coincidence." Chu Muyun nodded slightly. "I received a mission from above to pay attention to the whereabouts of the Paper Kite Rescue Society in the South Sea Domain, which is why I'm staying here... If you had come a few days later, I might not have been here."
The Paper Kite Rescue Society was an organization spontaneously established by the practitioners of the Path of the Physician in the South Sea Domain. Just like the Pu Family, it was one of the two most important organizations in the South Sea Domain. However, their difference from the Pu Family lay in the fact that their ties to politics were not that deep. Most members participated in this organization's activities with a mindset akin to doing public welfare.
When Chen Ling participated in the Celestial Star Position selection in the Tianshu Domain, the contemporary Pathway Chief of the Path of the Physician and the President of the Paper Kite Rescue Society had also participated. That massive Domain that could lock one's state at the brink of death was precisely that person's ability.
"We can catch up later." Chu Muyun glanced inside the room. "It shouldn't be you who needs detoxification, right? Where is the patient?"
Chen Ling motioned for Chu Muyun to enter the room, locked the door backhandedly, and then walked straight to the bed.
When Chu Muyun saw clearly the unconscious young girl lying on the bed, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes:
"Someone from the Integration Faction?"
"Mm."
"No wonder you could only seek help from the Dusk Society... But couldn't that Teacher Ye of the Integration Faction also heal Fusionists? Why did you have to personally bring her to the South Sea Domain?"
"An accident happened at the Integration Faction recently, it's a long story."
"Mm, then let's talk about it later."
"Can you heal her?"
"If it were in the past, it would indeed be very difficult to heal..." Chu Muyun casually took off his Scarf and opened his black suitcase. A small hammer with a ferocious design was calmly held in his hand,
"But in the Dusk Society, you aren't the only one making progress."
A blood-colored phantom of a Divine Path surfaced behind Chu Muyun. A powerful aura swept out, but it seemed to be shrouded by some kind of blurry light veil, fluctuating between strong and weak. Even Chen Ling couldn't discern what Rank he was for a moment.
Is it a special ability of the [Blood Slaughter] path?
Although Chen Ling's perception wasn't clear, there was no doubt that the current Chu Muyun was a world apart from when he first met him. And having such a powerful 'Doctor' in the Dusk Society undoubtedly provided other members with a strong sense of security, and Chen Ling was no exception.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Chen Ling's heart was completely put at ease.
"Mm, you can go out for a stroll first. My treatment process... might not be very sightly."
Chen Ling glanced at that small hammer with its ferocious design, and his expression instantly became a bit odd. He walked to the door without hesitation, then as if remembering something, waved to Little White in the corner:
"Little White, we're going out."
In the corner of the room, an entirely pitch-black youth immediately got up obediently,
"Yes, Great King!"
"?"
Chu Muyun looked in shock at that youth who had perfectly blended into the darkness. Before Chen Ling spoke, he surprisingly hadn't noticed there was another person there at all!
Is this also someone from the Integration Faction...
With Chu Muyun's current Rank, he hadn't even discovered Little White's presence for a moment. This group of children from the Integration Faction really were as wicked as rumors said.
As Chen Ling and Little White left the room, Chu Muyun's gaze fell back onto the unconscious Little Peach. The dim sunset completely sank into the night. In the profound darkness, holding the ferocious small hammer, he slowly walked towards Little Peach...
...
"Great King, was that person just now your friend?"
At the entrance of the guest house, Chen Ling casually sat down on the steps. The bright street lamp projected his shadow onto the steps as well, as if there was a tiny black shadow overlapping with Chen Ling.
"Mm."
"He seems very powerful... But... why does he need to hold a hammer to save someone?"
"Don't ask, that's his unique secret skill."
"Oh..."
Little White obediently shut his mouth, not saying a word.
Time passed minute by minute. After about a dozen minutes, a familiar figure walked out of the guest house.
"It's done," Chu Muyun spoke calmly.
"So fast?"
"Detoxification is very simple, mostly it took some effort to clean up the scene..."
Chen Ling and the others went back upstairs. At this time, Little Peach's breathing was already steady. There were no traces of the toxin's existence on her body at all, and her skin was smooth and rosy. She was lying spread-eagle on the bed in a '大' shape, and even began to snore.
The bedsheet beneath her remained pure white and tidy. But Chen Ling suddenly noticed that in a few corners of the room, there were still residual traces of splattered blood...
For some reason, at this moment Chen Ling suddenly visualized the scene of the figure in the Woolen Overcoat swiftly cleaning up a 'bloody scene' with water and a towel. Amidst the eeriness, an inexplicable sense of comicality was revealed.
Chen Ling: ...
Forget it. Regardless of the process, as long as Little Peach was out of danger, it was fine.
"Great King!! Little Peach is really all better!!" Little White walked to the bedside and touched Little Peach's forehead. After finding that her fever was really gone, he spoke in pleasant surprise.
"Mm." Chen Ling nodded slightly, "Little White, watch over her here. We are going out for a bit."
"Yes!"
Little Peach's danger was resolved, and Chen Ling finally relaxed. He could now properly inquire with Chu Muyun about the recent situation.
The two thus walked downstairs with a swagger and sat down in a nearly empty cafe across the street. Before Chu Muyun could take out his money, Chen Ling directly produced a large-denomination silver note and booked the entire cafe.
Chen Ling had plenty of money. It was just that during the past half year in the Integration Faction, even if he had money, there was nowhere to spend it.
Chu Muyun took a sip of coffee and asked unhurriedly:
"Having stayed in the Integration Faction for so long, how does it feel?"
"Pretty good." Chen Ling answered truthfully, "It's hard to imagine that in this era, there is still such a pure place."
"You don't plan on returning to the Dusk Society?"
The hand Chen Ling used to hold his coffee paused slightly.
"...I don't know." Chen Ling fell silent for a moment. "To be honest, until now I'm still not certain what exactly the Dusk Society's attitude towards me is."
"Did you publicly announce your withdrawal from the Dusk Society?"
"No."
"Did the Red King say he was going to expel you from the Dusk Society?"
"...Also no."
"Then that's all that matters."
Chu Muyun spoke indifferently. "Whatever happened between you and the Red King, that is a matter between you as master and disciple. Since you haven't been formally expelled from the Dusk Society, you are still our Six of Hearts...
During this time you were away from the Dusk Society, some folks have missed you very much."
