Chapter 109

As soon as Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin entered the operating room, he saw Fan Shulin slumped on the floor, his legs still kicking against the ground, "scooting" toward the door.

"Brother Fan, why were you so careless to fall? Come, let me help you up."

Fan Shulin turned his head to look at Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin, while pointing his finger at the shirtless Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng:

"You call this thing a splinter?"

"There's no clear standard, is there? It doesn't say how long or thick a splinter has to be, right?"

"This is called taking root? You count them—how many are there already!"

"You say that, but who counts the grains of rice in their bowl when eating a meal?"

"No, I can't do this, I really can't do this." Fan Shulin stood up and started to walk out.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin hurriedly hugged him: "Brother Fan, the silk banner, the silk banner!"

"I don't want it anymore!"

"Brother Fan, please help, a physician has a benevolent heart, a physician has a benevolent heart."

"My benevolent heart was eaten by a dog!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I ate it, I'll spit it out and return it to you now."

"You..."

"Look, this friend of mine was saved by you last time; his life was given by you. Can you bear to let his life be lost?"

"I..."

"Hurry up, I'm worried that if we don't take them out in time, tetanus will be a problem."

Fan Shulin only felt his brain spinning; pushed, he stood back in front of Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, changed his gloves and tools, and only when he used force to pull the first nail cap out a bit did he suddenly wake up:

"What on earth am I doing!"

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin shrugged his shoulders, his tone returning to calm: "It doesn't matter now, Brother Fan, because you've already started."

Fan Shulin swallowed with some difficulty, then continued to pull them out.

Facts proved that as long as one proceeds step by step and increases the pressure layer by layer, a person's adaptability can often exceed their own imagination.

He began to get into the zone.

When the first nail was about to be pulled out, Fan Shulin shouted: "Help me hold this, I need to prepare to stop the bleeding."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Okay, coming."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng: "No need for such trouble."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng reached out himself, grabbed the nail cap, and with one pull, the nail was completely extracted.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you messing around with..."

Immediately, a scene that shocked Fan Shulin appeared: after the nail was pulled out, the original wound location actually began to close on its own—it was closing, not healing.

It was the flesh and skin shrinking and stopping the bleeding by itself.

Fan Shulin opened his mouth wide; his brain, having received continuous stimulation, was already in a strange, chaotic state, and now he was actually thinking:

If patients on operating tables across the country all possessed this ability, wouldn't doctors wake up laughing?

Immediately after, another thought arose:

My thesis is hopeless. If I publish a paper about this kind of patient, it wouldn't just be a matter of academic fraud; I would be treated as mentally unstable and have my medical license revoked.

"Brother Fan, Brother Fan?"

"Ah, um, I'm here."

"There are fifteen more, you'd better hurry."

"Oh, okay."

Fan Shulin continued to pull the second nail, still the same old way; he only needed to be responsible for prying the nail out, and then the patient in front of him would reach out and pull it out himself, with the wound still closing on its own.

"No, wait, I just forgot, I have to see if there is any infection or pus inside."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng: "Oh."

The two symmetrical wounds reopened, looking like a pair of eyes opening.

"Hmm, no infection, very good."

After Fan Shulin finished speaking, with a "thump," he was so frightened by the terrifying scene just now that he fell to the ground, his eyes beginning to roll back.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin hurriedly supported him again: "Brother Fan, Brother Fan, Brother Fan?"

Fan Shulin recovered, nodded numbly, stood up numbly, and numbly began to continue pulling the nails.

For this one, he didn't wait for Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng to reach out; he pulled it out directly himself.

Then he continued.

He seemed to have lost the ability to think; he felt that he wasn't performing surgery, but helping someone in the countryside pull a giant saw.

Finally, all sixteen nails were completely pulled out.

Fan Shulin sat on the operating table, exhausted, while Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng stood up.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Fan."

Fan Shulin turned his head, looking at the sixteen thick, long coffin nails piled high on the tray beside him, then looked at Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, who was already putting on his clothes as if nothing had happened.

He suddenly felt doubt about his own path of studying medicine for so many years.

"By the way, Brother Fan, when does your class reunion start?"

"Eve... evening, it's very late, everyone has to be on duty, it'll be midnight."

"That's fine, if I can come, I'll come; if I can't, I'll call your infirmary in advance to let you know."

"Um... okay."

"Brother Fan, you rest well, I'll be going first."

After saying goodbye, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin left the infirmary with Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng.

While walking toward the school, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng asked: "Is there an emergency?"

"How did you figure that out?"

"You are walking very fast."

"My light-body technique has made some small progress recently."

"If there is an emergency, you shouldn't have waited for me there just now; you should have gone to tell Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan immediately."

"There is something, a new clue, but it's not urgent for this moment. Brother Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan said that even if we start doing things, we have to wait for you and Yin Meng to return to the team."

"I understand."

"That, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, about the injuries on your body, roughly how long will it take to recover?"

"These aren't injuries, this is a dantian."

"You call this a dantian? I've at least read some ancient texts with Brother Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan; whose dantian is truly drilled into their own body with hammers and nails?"

"Master said... Qin Shu said everyone's characteristics are different."

"Then what do you feel now?"

"I'm a little hungry."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin and Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng returned to the dormitory together first, opened the bedroom door, and there was no one inside.

"Brother Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan should have gone to the old lady's place, let's go too."

Closing the door, while going downstairs, they happened to see Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You, who was leaning on a crutch with his left hand and carrying a thermos with his right; he must have just gone to the hot water room to get water.

When Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You saw Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, his eyes lit up.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin also spoke up at this moment: "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, does it itch in your heart?"

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng nodded: "The incense is finished, I have to go back to the room in the basement of the store to get some."

"I'm not asking you that, do you want to find someone to practice with?" Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin said, his gaze glancing toward Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You proudly puffed out his chest.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng shook his head.

During the special training, the one who fed him moves and sparred with him was Qin Shu, and he was beaten to the ground by Qin Shu time and time again.

If it could be said that before, he only knew that Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan hoped he would become the next Qin Shu, then now, Qin Shu's image had already become concrete for him.

After having a clearer and higher goal, even after the special training ended, he didn't have any feeling of complacency or itchy hands.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin whispered: "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, we are about to take action; actually, even Brother Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan should want to see your progress, so that he can reasonably make an action plan."

If he went to spar with Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng himself, it wouldn't be effective; regardless of whether it was Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng before or after the special training, beating him was very simple.

But Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You was a very good reference, a clear unit of measurement.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng: "Then Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan has to tell me to fight, and I will fight."

"That's true, we can't engage in private fights, after all."

"Let's go find Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan."

"Okay, let's go."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin and Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng left.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You stood frozen in place; didn't they say they would fight him once they came out of seclusion? Why aren't they fighting now?

Dropping his crutch, Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You wanted to chase after them to ask for the reason, and by the way, initiate a righteous spar.

He originally thought that righteous people killing each other would make the Heavenly Dao pained and the evil spirits happy; now he felt that good internal sparring and competition could be more beneficial to striking at evil spirits.

But before he could take two steps, he saw his classmates walking over. Seeing this, Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You hurriedly turned back and picked up his crutch.

Sometimes, once a lie is told, one has to keep covering it up.

"Classmate Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You, I'll help you carry the thermos."

"Come, I'll help you upstairs."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You had no choice but to be accompanied by a helpful classmate, and he even had to pretend to be limping.

……

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had originally intended to go to the Liu family, but while passing the sports field, he was attracted by two "stalls" inside.

The morning of the freshman military training ended, and the recruitment for the student union and clubs unfolded accordingly.

Everyone set up tables and erected signs on the sports field, with seniors pulling out all the stops to recruit the freshmen whose eyes were still filled with ignorance and purity.

For most freshmen who made it into this university, their high school study time was often quite dull, and the belief that sustained their continued efforts was often a beautiful longing for university life.

Broadly speaking, there are two main things:

First, rich and colorful campus activities.

Second, falling in love.

Campus activities are placed first because most people quickly find their filters shattered, feeling that it is nothing special after the three-minute enthusiasm fades.

As for the second, it often persists to the end; regardless of whether they find a partner or succeed in a relationship, it becomes an enduring topic within the small dormitory circle, and the more single one is, the more enthusiastically they chat about it.

Of course, for freshmen, quickly finding a partner right after school starts is a privilege for the few talented ones, but joining a club or the student union is very simple.

Some powerful or impressively named departments, as well as a small number of clubs that look like they fit current popular trends, encounter the problem of being overcrowded, and for this, they do not hesitate to conduct "interview assessments" for screening.

The vast majority of other departments and clubs are in a state of being desperate for anyone.

If they don't shout hard, don't promote, and can't pull in enough people, then like the declining sects in the world of martial arts, they can only wait quietly for extinction.

This sports field is also a world of martial arts.

Walking through it, it is full of youthful vitality, and many club names are also varied and diverse.

Traditional clubs have been extremely subdivided, and non-traditional clubs are also very rich.

What attracted Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan to walk in from outside the sports field fence was that small group located in the corner.

Blocking the front of that group was the Go Club; Go is currently very popular, and many freshmen came to take forms, fill out applications, and inquire.

Several tables even had chessboards set up, with seniors and proud freshmen playing against each other, while others watched from the side.

Although Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan often played Go with A Li, he was never interested in Go.

Squeezing out of the crowd, he finally arrived at the very corner, where there were four tables in total; there weren't many freshmen in front, but the old members were all patiently operating.

The president of the "Alien Club" was holding his own scrapbook, telling the freshmen in front of him about UFOs and some of the world's unsolved mysteries.

The president of the "Qigong Club" sat on the ground with two old members, wearing aluminum pots on their heads and meditating.

Leaving one member to the side to introduce that they were observing the trajectory of artificial satellites and would control their own satellites to collide and fight with other countries at critical moments.

Perhaps feeling that this bragging was a bit too bizarre, and the performance of their president and the two members was a bit too dull, the member in charge of the introduction simply opened the display board and took a different approach.

It was written on the board: Practicing Qigong is conducive to increasing peach blossom luck.

Obviously, once this board was opened, it had a miraculous effect, and several freshmen immediately asked if it was true.

These two were still considered to have some popularity in this small, cold corner; as for the two inside, which were Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's goal, there really wasn't a single person in front of them.

A sign stood on the left table, written with "Numerology Club," and behind it sat a bald senior who was dozing off.

A very miserable senior; it should be hereditary.

This kind of problem is almost unsolvable; no matter how much nursing and maintenance is done, it is useless, mainly manifested in the fact that after reaching a certain age, even if one previously had a head of dense hair, one immediately becomes bald.

The sign on the right table was "Physiognomy Club," with a man and a woman, each wearing thick glasses, sitting there.

These two were not sleeping; they looked very embarrassed and constrained, and even though there was no one in front of them, they were still nervous and uneasy.

In fact, if their two tables were combined, and they learned from the wandering Daoists of the martial arts world, set up a flag, wrote "Iron Abacus," "Calculate Marriage and Career," "No Charge If Not Accurate," and found some Daoist or monk robes to wear, they would definitely be able to attract a lot of people.

But unfortunately, the two who practiced physiognomy were obviously severely introverted and afraid of socializing, while the bald senior had seen through the red dust and the secular world.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan walked up to the man and woman and found that they had made identity tags for themselves: President Liu Tao, Vice President Lu Lu Anan.

"Hello, seniors, I'd like a physiognomy reading."

"Ah?" Liu Tao was a little surprised and said, "Little brother, we are recruiting for the club."

Lu Lu Anan reached out and pushed Liu Tao: "Give the little brother a reading."

Sitting idly was even more awkward; it was better to have something to do.

Moreover, this young man was strangely good-looking; looking at a handsome little young man was better than staring blankly at the air.

Liu Tao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and asked, "Little brother, what do you plan to have read?"

"Physiognomy."

"Hehe, I mean, what specific aspects do you want to see? Is it academic performance or physical health?"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan pointed to his Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face and said, "First, look at the facial structure and critique the physiognomy."

Hearing this professional terminology, the expressions of the two changed significantly.

Liu Tao took a thick, dog-eared book from the drawer, opened it, took out a notebook from inside, unscrewed the cap of his fountain pen, and prepared to calculate.

Lu Lu Anan took an abacus from the drawer of the bald senior dozing off next door and placed it in front of Liu Tao.

Liu Tao held the pen in his right hand, moved the abacus with his left, stared at Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, and kept chanting the formulas.

This posture really made Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan feel quite surprised; this showed that the other party was really calculating, rather than deliberately "pinching fingers to calculate" and flipping through the book to find an entry just to fool him.

It's just that the other party's level should be very, very low, belonging to one foot in the door and the other still behind.

Because under normal circumstances, if someone calculates you in front of your Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face, you can clearly perceive it.

Back at the dam at the great-grandfather's house, there was a time when Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei liked to calculate him, and she would deliberately hide her hands in her sleeves or cover them with a fan.

But every time, he could become alert, either making faces to interrupt or simply calculating back to counter it.

Lu Lu Anan walked out from behind the table and came to Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's side: "Little brother, let me feel your bones."

"Okay."

Lu Lu Anan was not tall, had no fragrance on her body, and was a girl with a very ordinary appearance, but her fingers were relatively delicate and soft.

Moreover, when her fingertips touched your skin, you could perceive the other party's very clever exertion and retraction of force.

She really knew how to feel bones.

After feeling them, Lu Lu Anan walked to Liu Tao and said a few words to him; Liu Tao immediately flipped through the book to search again, then continued to stare at Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan and move the abacus.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan felt it; it was very weak, similar to a mosquito bite.

But this also meant that Liu Tao had entered the state, although it was based on their combined efforts.

It's just that as he calculated, Liu Tao began to sniff his nose constantly, occasionally pressing it with the back of his hand, and the time was a bit long.

Lu Lu Anan was afraid that Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan would be impatient, so she comforted him: "Little brother, this needs to wait a while, but don't worry, it will be calculated soon."

"Okay."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan smiled and agreed, while his fingertips began to flick gently.

He knew how to calculate, which was a bit troublesome instead.

Lu Lu Anan took a piece of candy from her pocket, opened the wrapper, and handed it to Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's mouth:

"Little brother, sister treats you to candy."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan hesitated for a moment; his hands were busy, so he could only open his mouth.

"Hee hee."

Lu Lu Anan didn't think the young man was being arrogant and happily fed the candy into the young man's mouth.

It was a milk candy, very sweet.

"Little brother, do you live nearby, or are your parents in the school?"

"I am a freshman."

"Are you really a freshman?"

"Yes."

"So young, a child prodigy?" Immediately, Lu Lu Anan seemed to think of something and said excitedly, "Then join our Physiognomy Club; you will be our next president!"

Troops are valued for quality, not quantity; if a child prodigy could be pulled in, it would be a very Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face-saving thing for the club.

And Lu Lu Anan knew very well that their line of work requires a lot of brainpower.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan was noncommittal, his hands still flicking.

In fact, if he stopped now, he wouldn't have to wait for the next generation, because this generation's president was afraid he would have to abdicate due to illness.

Gradually, Liu Tao's sniffing sound grew louder, and cold sweat flowed from his Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face; even though it was the end of summer and early autumn, the weather was still hot, but white steam rose from the top of his head.

Seeing this, Lu Lu Anan noticed something was wrong: "Liu Tao……"

She wanted to step forward to stop him, but her wrist was grabbed by Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan. Lu Lu Anan subconsciously wanted to break free, but found that the young man's hand strength was much greater than she imagined.

"Let the senior continue to calculate; don't disturb him."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan ended the counter-calculation.

"Ah!"

At this moment, Liu Tao suddenly cried out, and then his whole body, along with the chair he was sitting on, fell backward.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan let go of Lu Lu Anan's hand, and Lu Lu Anan ran over to help the pale-faced Liu Tao up.

"Liu Tao, you have a nosebleed; wait a moment, I'll get you some paper."

Liu Tao muttered to himself: "I can't calculate it, I can't calculate it, I can't calculate it……"

This movement woke up the bald senior dozing off next door.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and after seeing this scene, his expression was startled, and he immediately took two steps forward and scolded:

"Are you bored and playing with calculating yourself?"

As he spoke, his right hand pinched Liu Tao's jaw, making his mouth open, and his left hand took out a handful of black particles from his pocket, which looked very much like the "rat droppings" snack popular at the school gate.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan smelled the scent and knew that this was a tonic for calming the nerves; he used to have nosebleeds often, and Liu Yi had often decocted medicine for him to drink, and every time it was A Li who brought it up to feed him.

"Don't feed him these." Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan walked over and said.

The bald senior glanced at Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, and seeing how young he was, he had no intention of listening at all, continuing to try to feed it into Liu Tao's mouth.

"Bleeding a little and having a headache for a few days is good for him; it's equivalent to clearing out the silt."

"What did you say?" The bald senior frowned and looked at Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan again; these words did not sound like something an ordinary teenager could say.

"If you feed him, his suffering will have been in vain. Let him rest for a few days, and he will have a better feel for calculating things in the future."

The bald man said in a deep voice, "Little friend, are you from the Divination Sect?"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan shook his head; he didn't even know what the Divination Sect specifically referred to, but as the name suggested, it should be a collective term for a series of sects that focused on fortune-telling and divination.

"Then who are you? Can you be responsible for what you said? If he doesn't take medicine in time, his brain might have problems."

"There won't be any problems. However, if you want to feed him medicine, then go ahead."

"You..."

The bald student was speechless; since you've said that, is it still appropriate for me to feed him?

At this moment, Liu Tao seemed to have recovered a little; he focused his gaze on Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan and asked, "Why can't I calculate anything at all?"

"Normal."

He was currently "Walking the River," and the river water was surging with magnificent momentum.

Lighting a lamp while Walking the River is equivalent to "submitting" one's own fate, and only by lighting the third lamp can one retrieve their fate.

During the Walking the River stage, one's fate belongs to the world of the rivers and lakes, or perhaps, to the sky above.

Therefore, what he had just been calculating was Heaven's Will.

This is a taboo countless times greater than calculating one's own fate while looking in a mirror.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had originally thought he wouldn't know how to calculate and was just an enthusiast, but he had managed to enter a state; in order not to leave the person crippled, the teenager had just been calculating him as well, controlling the intensity to help offset the backlash and maintain a reasonable degree.

Liu Tao was injured and had a nosebleed, and his brain would ache for a few days, but after recovering, his level of fortune-telling would be considered to have stepped through the threshold with both feet.

The bald senior stood up, looked at Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, and asked, "Since you aren't from the Divination Sect, then which path are you on?"

He didn't even know how to perform a greeting, so he was clearly a small fry in the world of rivers and lakes.

"You wouldn't know it."

"Who is your master, what is your family surname, and where is your ancestral home?"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan shook his head again and turned to look at Lu Lu Anan: "Senior sister, you are very good at bone-reading."

Lu Lu Anan didn't know why, but upon being praised by this teenager, she actually felt a sense of being flattered.

"I learned it from my grandmother; my grandmother does this back in our hometown."

"Next time you go home for the holidays, senior sister, you can tell your grandmother that when bone-reading, you can add 'Finger Tremor Echoing'."

Lu Lu Anan's eyes widened immediately; she had heard her grandmother mention this term more than once, and every time it was accompanied by regret and sighs, saying that it was originally in their family learning, but the inheritance was broken during the two generations of her great-grandmother, so it couldn't be taught down.

"My grandmother... doesn't know it."

She said it very honestly.

Moreover, the milk candy she had put in her mouth earlier hadn't finished dissolving, and it was still releasing wisps of sweetness.

"Senior sister, bend down."

"Oh."

Lu Lu Anan bent down.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan raised his right hand, curled it slightly, and lifted it.

Lu Lu Anan took a deep breath and turned her Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face toward the teenager's hand.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's index finger knuckle tapped her forehead three times.

"Hum! Hum! Hum!"

Three trembling echoes resonated within Lu Lu Anan's mind.

She stepped back repeatedly, sat on the ground, and looked up at the sky, feeling only that the sky was high and the clouds were light; looking around, it seemed that she had gained many clearer and more delicate visual and auditory perceptions, and her whole person entered a state of emptiness.

This was Finger Tremor Echoing, a technique within the art of bone-reading; under the finger tremor, using the echo to converge, it could achieve a more specific and detailed bone-reading effect.

The "Exegesis of Yin-Yang Physiognomy" recorded bone-reading, but only as a small branch within it; relatively speaking, bone-reading was still somewhat inconvenient and had significant limitations.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had learned this technique, but he never used it for bone-reading; the previous times he used it were on Jingjing, who had been possessed by an evil spirit, and the unconscious Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin, using it as a "stepping stone" to awaken their consciousness.

Lu Lu Anan said with a Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face full of joy, "You know it, you actually really know it, can you teach me?"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan was surprised; didn't I just teach you? I even taught it three times in a row.

Lu Lu Anan immediately stood up, crossed her hands in front of her, then stepped back half a step with her right leg, and performed a greeting with her gestures, head, and entire upper body alternating downward.

From the current perspective, Lu Lu Anan should be the one with the deepest family learning, much more reliable than Liu Tao and the bald senior, because her grandmother had also taught her the old etiquette.

As for her grandmother, she should be similar to Liu Liu Jinxia from his hometown, making a living from this, but Liu Liu Jinxia was a latecomer who relied on a tough fate, and her metaphysical attainments definitely couldn't compare to Lu Lu Anan's grandmother.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan returned a Liu family greeting.

Lu Lu Anan just continued to wear a smile, while Liu Tao, who had climbed up and was still bleeding from his nose, remained wooden-faced; only the bald senior pointed at Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan and said triumphantly:

"Look, I said so, you have a family tradition!"

Clearly, none of the three people present recognized the Liu family.

Lu Lu Anan: "Junior brother, no, senior, please teach me."

"I have other things to do." Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan looked at the sky, "I have to go."

"Senior, this is the club application form." Lu Lu Anan took out the form and a pen and handed them over, "You said, should I fill it out?"

"Not joining anymore."

He had just felt that it was still early and had happened to see this corner when passing by the playground, so he had come over specifically to play around; now that he was done playing, it was fine.

It was quite interesting; both Liu Tao and Lu Lu Anan had some skills.

The bald senior blocked Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan looked up at him and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The bald senior scratched his bald head and said, "Don't misunderstand, I just feel like I might have lost out a bit; do you have this feeling?"

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan shook his head and continued walking forward.

The bald senior made way.

Continuing to scratch his head, he truly felt that he had lost out on something today, but he wasn't clear about what exactly he had lost.

Actually, he hadn't lost out, but the other two had gained, which made it seem like he had lost out.

Moreover, when Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan walked over, the first person he looked at was him, because his hairstyle was too attractive, but he had been dozing off.

Seeing his friend's state halfway through his nap, he naturally carried some anger, his tone was a bit blunt, and he hadn't realized the teenager's ability and changed his attitude in time like Lu Lu Anan, still carrying some arrogance.

Sometimes, character really does determine destiny.

Both friends had gained benefits, while he hadn't even had his name remembered.

When Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan walked out of the playground gate, he happened to see Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin and Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng walking over together.

"Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan."

"Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's gaze fell on Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, and he blinked.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng walked over, turned his back to Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, and bent down.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan got on Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng's back, and Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng stood up and walked forward with the teenager on his back.

Approaching dusk, the horizon began to drape itself in rosy clouds.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin told Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan about the time Yin Meng would come out of seclusion and the news about Huangshan obtained from Fan Shulin.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan nodded, signaling that he understood, and then pressed his Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face against Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng's back.

Arriving at the Liu family, he pushed open the courtyard gate and entered.

Liu Yi's voice came: "Yo, our little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan is really getting younger and younger; now he even needs Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng to carry him."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan got down from Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng's back, smiled at Liu Yi, and asked:

"Liu Yi, when can Yin Meng come out of seclusion?"

Liu Yi looked at Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Didn't I tell Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin already? Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Yin Mengmeng still needs to soak for another day."

"Detoxifying?"

"Where would there be poison? If there were poison, would I still be able to soak her in the well? That's for nourishing her complexion."

"Then please trouble Liu Yi to fish her out."

"Something up?"

"Yes."

"I'll go right now."

Liu Yi wiped her hands on her apron, first went into the house to take out a large bag, and then went straight out of the small courtyard.

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng Ge, do you need to rest?"

"Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan, I don't have any injuries on me." Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng pointed to the several positions under his clothes where the coffin nails had originally been embedded, "This is the Qi Sea."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan nodded; this was a body-refining technique developed based on the "Qin Family Dragon-Watching Method."

Back then, Qin Zhanglao stood by the Yangtze River, his feet grew webs, gills appeared on his Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face, and with one leap into the river, one person had almost punched through the entire Bai family town.

The principle was just like this.

The "Qi Sea" established by these sixteen coffin nails could help Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng accumulate momentum and gather Qi on land, and help him breathe using a special method in the water.

Being able to go up to the sky and down into the river is what makes a true Flood Dragon.

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng Ge, then you go to the shop to eat first; remember to eat until you're full, and then pack up your equipment and mine."

"Understood."

"Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin Ge, you go arrange for Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You, find a suitable location, and let him spar with Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng; it must end before eleven o'clock tonight."

"Understood."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin pointed again to the floor above where the old lady was.

"Today, I will take your place to chat with Grandma Liu for a while."

"Fine."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng and Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin turned and left.

The floor-to-ceiling windows of A Li's room were tightly shut, and the curtains were drawn; Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan did not rush to find A Li, but went upstairs first.

Grandma Liu stood before the table, lifting a brush to draw a clothing pattern.

"It's rare indeed, coming to see me, your grandmother, first upon entering the house. Well, is something the matter?"

"Yes, I reckon I'll have to go on a trip."

"In such a rush?"

"It's to get an early start." Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan walked to the side of Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei and helped her organize the paint palette.

"How is this one?" Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei asked.

"It suits A Li very well."

"I trust your eye, kid."

"These past few days, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng, Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin, and Xiang Seeing Yin Meng have caused you trouble."

"Is this where it ends?"

"How could it end? It's just opening a different door; we are still family."

"I'll listen to you; I believe you know what you're doing. However, forget about those two; Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Zhuangzhuang hasn't caused me any trouble."

"This fellow acts like a little eunuch whenever he's in front of me now; he treats me, his grandmother, like Empress Dowager Cixi."

"He thinks I can't tell, but it's not like I haven't watched TV and movies."

"Heh heh."

"Oh my, it's hard on the child, having to come every day to coax an old lady like me with a bad temper."

"You are an elder who is both protective and generous, dignified and reasonable. Who wouldn't be happy to coax an old lady like you if they had one in their family?"

"As long as you don't find me nagging or annoying."

"Only elders who are not upright, stubborn, and only know how to rely on their seniority to point fingers at those below them would annoy their juniors; you don't have any of those traits."

"In the end, you are still the one who knows how to talk."

Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Yumei reached out, touched Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face, then stepped back and looked him up and down carefully: "You have indeed grown taller; in a few more years, you'll be a big kid."

"Isn't A Li the same?"

"A Li is different. In my heart, no matter how old she gets, A Li is still a child. Actually, you should be too, but you know that the things you carry on your shoulders are different."

"I know."

"Still the same words: I am already content. Whenever you feel tired and don't want to keep walking, just come back and light the lamp."

"The Qin and Liu families have already done enough; protecting the two juniors so they can live a peaceful life is still no problem."

"Did Qin Zhanglao leave again?"

"Yes, he was only passing through on his way back. Now that the matter here is settled, the matters over there are still waiting for him, but he won't be gone long this time before he returns."

"Why, are you worried I sent him to Fujian to trouble those two General Guardians?"

"You are peaceful now."

"Yes, when life has something to look forward to, a person's feelings are different."

"Alright, go find A Li. Since you are going on a long trip, you two should have more time to talk."

"Alright, Grandma."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan went downstairs and opened the door to A Li's bedroom.

He didn't need to knock, because A Li could perceive his arrival.

When he entered, A Li had just put down her carving knife.

"Did I disturb you?"

A Li shook her head and handed the seal to Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan took the seal; it was small and exquisite yet contained an inner momentum, especially the dragon and elephant on the top, which were lifelike.

He didn't rush to look at the carving on the bottom, but pressed it onto the inkpad and walked to the scroll on the table.

On the painting was the scene where he ended Yu Yu Popo.

"It's painted really well."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan stamped the seal onto it; when he lifted it, a bright red mark appeared on the scroll: 【Acting on Behalf of Heaven】.

It meant the same as "Acting on Behalf of Heaven," but the atmosphere was different.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but let a smile appear at the corner of his mouth; he didn't have such grand ideals, and the concept of the "Righteous Path" wasn't very deep in his heart—after all, when he first entered the sect, the first things he read were the private books of Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Zhengdao.

But he enjoyed this feeling of fooling the Heavenly Dao.

If he were to tell outsiders, these four characters would definitely refer to his grand ideals, but in reality, it was just this bit of mischievous, wicked humor deep in his heart that only she knew.

The scroll was finished, and the seal was stamped, but the frame hadn't been made in time; mainly because more scrap material was used than expected, resulting in a shortage of ancestor tablets, so he had to wait for the next batch of remade ancestor tablets to take over.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan reached out and took A Li's hand, saying: "Come, let's pick another one."

The boy and the girl closed their eyes together.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan arrived behind the threshold; ahead, the mist was still there, the rustling sounds were still there, and compared to when he had just finished off Yu Yu Popo, the mist was clearly much closer, and even the volume was much louder.

One Yu Yu Popo could make them wary for a moment, but it was far from enough to make them truly afraid and scatter.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan stepped over the threshold and reached out to pull out the white lantern stuck in the crack of the wall.

One person, one lantern, walking into the mist.

In the mist, ghost shadows were everywhere; some were testing, some were mocking, and some were teasing.

At this moment, the lantern in front of him was suddenly wrapped by a mass of mist, as if something had swallowed it.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan did not panic, his hands continuing to grip the pole.

From the end of the lantern, a pulling force came; it was active!

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan swung the lantern pole with all his might, like a fishing rod after a fish had taken the bait.

With a boom,

The surrounding mist retreated,

A giant black fish streaked across overhead, its body massive, its eyes filled with hatred.

The willing one has taken the bait!
