Leisure II

Outside the clinic.

On the busy street, few people looked at the wooden sign standing at the entrance.

Most people are illiterate, and even those who can read are few and far between. For a while, hardly anyone stopped to look.

Just as the two apprentice doctors were idly passing the time, a woman with slightly chubby cheeks and almond-shaped eyes walked up to the entrance of the clinic.

"Where's your pharmacist/boss? Why are there only two of you here?"

The woman was wearing Pink Gold-Trimmed Dress, and her Deep Green Jade Belt made it clear that she was not from an ordinary family.

"Sir, please meditate and rest inside." Xiao Dong, being a boy, was momentarily stunned by the sight of her. He had never spoken to such a beautiful and wealthy young lady before.

The woman looked up at the signboard of the clinic.

"The name 'Mountain Man' is quite ordinary, but the handwriting is very natural and expressive."

Lu Mei Sha got up early to dress up. She had overheard her brother talking to Zhang Rongfang and learned that Zhang Rongfang had returned and opened a clinic, intending to stay in Wushan Prefecture from now on.

At the time, she didn't feel anything, but when she got back, she thought of the good-for-nothing she had broken up with before, and compared him to Zhang Rongfang, who had now clearly become a High Grade martial artist.

She suddenly felt uneasy. She was suddenly reminded of everything she had experienced these past few days.

As her brother's status in the Lineage rose, more and more people came to propose marriage for her.

But every time she saw someone arranging a marriage, she couldn't help but compare the person to Zhang Rongfang. So each meeting ended unhappily.

"Mei Sha, the young master Bai Jingyan from the Bai Family that I introduced to you is handsome and quite capable. Why did you only meet him once and then not go? He invited you on an autumn outing, but you didn't go?" Her brother's voice seemed to echo in her ears again.

"A piece of trash even worse Zhang Rongfang! I don't even want to look at him! What good is being good-looking? Can he stop swords? Can he stop the rioters outside the city?"

"What about the eldest son of the Wala Lian Family? He is both scholarly and martial, and he has already mastered excellent martial arts skills at a young age."

"He can't even beat Zhang Rongfang. With such good conditions, he's still a mediocre talent! He's utterly worthless!"

"What about the eldest son of the Taishi Academy in Upper Capital? He is in his early thirties and has already reached the Seventh Grade rank."

"He's already thirty years old and only at the Seventh Grade. If Zhang Rongfang had his qualifications, he'd probably be at the eighth or ninth rank by now. What's the point of seeing someone like him?"

Coming to her senses, Lu Mei Sha lowered her head. She had originally planned to just wander around Jie Mountain, but before she knew it, she had found her way to the clinic.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, but since she was already there, she might as well go in and see what kind of mess Zhang Rongfang make of his clinic.

Upon entering the main gate, Lu Mei Sha immediately spotted Zhang Rongfang sitting cross-legged behind the counter on one side of the lobby.

Compared to before, he seemed to have shrunk in size, but strange things always happen among martial artists, so there's no need to worry about it.

"Hey!" She slammed her hand on the counter, making a sharp sound.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Rongfang opened one eye and glanced at her.

"Your clinic is empty, is it even okay?" Lu Mei Sha suddenly felt speechless. She and Zhang Rongfang didn't get along, and she had come here for no apparent reason.

"If there are people, I'll watch; if there's no one, I'll rest. It's all about fate," Zhang Rongfang replied.

He was still possessing each of the Wooden Puppet, observing and searching for the children, trying to figure out which one was easiest to fool.

"I was passing by and saw that there was no one here. It's so deserted since it just opened. I'm afraid it won't be open for long before it closes down," Lu Mei Sha said bluntly.

"Isn't your martial arts very impressive? I heard you're already at the Sixth Grade or higher." She added, "I've also been practicing martial arts recently. When I reach the Sixth Grade, I'll spar with you then."

"Alright." Zhang Rongfang suddenly recalled the young men and women who had spent years cultivating diligently to advance to the next First Grade at Qinghe Temple. In comparison, Lu Mei Sha before him spoke with such ease, as if reaching the High Grade was something easily attained. He shook his head inwardly and remained silent.

The two suddenly fell silent again.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, but for some reason, Lu Mei Sha's feet seemed to be rooted to the spot, and she just wouldn't move.

"By the way, how is your Jin Xiu doing now?" she asked again.

"I sent her back. We'll be separated from now on. Consider it a guarantee of her lifelong wealth," Zhang Rongfang replied.

He now realizes that his physical strength is too great, and it's impossible for ordinary people to handle it.

"They broke up?" Lu Mei Sha's heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly, I remembered what my sister-in-law Zhang Rongyu had said.

'Perhaps Rong Fang has remained unmarried all this time, and now that he's returned to Wu Mountain, he deliberately left you alone again last time.'

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly flashed through Lu Mei Sha's mind.

"Could it be that he really has feelings for me!?"

Once the idea came out, it took root and became inseparable from me.

"No, I need to observe more carefully. Since I have nothing to do today, I might as well stay here a little longer."

Lu Mei Sha immediately asked Zhang Rongfang about martial arts and medicine. They chatted casually and casually.

*** Mu Chi Prefecture, underground.

A dimly lit Stone Chamber.

The oil lamp, small as a bean, illuminated a circle of the surrounding stone walls.

Inside the Stone Chamber, a Red-Faced Elder and white hair and a beard that almost dragged on the ground was sitting in meditation with his eyes closed, regulating his breathing.

The old man was dressed in a White Confucian Robe, with two Black Jade Rings on his upper arms. He remained motionless, like a sculpture.

If it weren't for the extremely subtle rise and fall of his chest, he would definitely be mistaken for a seated corpse.

Before long, one wall of the Stone Chamber slowly flipped up, revealing two wide passageways.

Beyond the passage lies an even more spacious and enormous stone palace.

This Stone Chamber is connected to a massive underground stone palace.

A graceful woman dressed in a red dress and wearing a black veil walked into the Stone Chamber.

"Rongyu greets teacher." She bowed gracefully and respectfully.

Stone Chamber, the old man slowly opened his eyes.

"You just gave birth, why rush off the bus? It would be good to rest for a few more days."

"The affairs of our lineage are of utmost importance, and besides, this disciple needs some exercise," Zhang Rongyu said with a smile. Although his complexion was somewhat pale through the veil, he did not appear ill and should be fine.

"You've worked hard," the old man sighed.

He didn't actually pay much attention to Zhang Rongyu, his female disciple who joined the group later in life.

Later on, the strategies and tactics she displayed far surpassed those of her other disciples.

Adding to the favor of his family background, the old man finally accepted him as his disciple, making him his last disciple.

"Now that Wushan Prefecture has your Mu Chi Prefecture as a cover, we have been able to evade several investigations by the Ling Ting Surveillance Division Patrol Division. It must have been difficult for you to deal with those Spirit Noble just for our sake," the old man sighed.

"Teacher, you flatter me. My husband has always been sincere and trustworthy to me. I hope that when we take action in the future, you can make an exception for him," Zhang Rongyu earnestly pleaded.

"It is the way of nature." The old man nodded. "Now that you have successfully given birth to a son for this lineage, your son should be personally taught as a disciple. The lineage master will arrive soon, so be prepared."

"Yes," Zhang Rongyu replied solemnly.

The Seven Lineages of the Confucian Sect are each led by an absolutely mysterious and powerful figure. Their identities are all extremely secretive. Now that she has given birth to a child, it has actually attracted the attention of one of the Seven Lineages leaders, clearly indicating that the plan has truly begun.

"Your son, Huanqing, will inherit the word 'righteousness.' When the Seven Gentlemen reappear in the future, it will be the time for our Confucian School to return to its former glory!" the old man said solemnly.

"Disciple understands!" Zhang Rongyu replied, bowing his head.

The Confucian Sect system was vast, and the reason she was able to help her husband rise again so quickly and gain an increasingly higher status in the Lineage was actually due to the support of the Confucian Sect behind the scenes.

In the Seven Gentlemen Project, in order to avoid the absolute obstacle of the Spirit Human Blood, all the children were chosen to be born as mixed-race individuals.

Now she has finally defeated the other candidates, making her son the sole heir! This also means that Huanqing will receive the full support of one of the Seven Lineages Confucian School lineages in the future.

The Seven Gentlemen represent seven top masters who were under Chen Junchen back then.

Their positions are passed down from generation to generation, and each generation of gentlemen is different.

Every virtuous person inherits the wisdom of their predecessors and wields the Gentleman's Sword.

This sword has the power to slay ghosts and gods! And now, Zhang Rongyu has finally succeeded in winning the sole successor position after much effort. For a moment, her eyes were filled with tears, feeling that all the hardships and patience of so many years had finally paid off.

"Furthermore, although we secretly laid various foundations and planted different marks for Huanqing while you were pregnant, after he is born, you will still need to bathe him daily with three different medicinal formulas." The old man spoke again, explaining the required medicinal formulas one by one.

The so-called Seven Gentlemen of the Confucian Sect are equivalent to the Saint Child of other sects and religions, as well as the disciples of Daozi and Buddhism. In fact, because of their inheritance of the Gentleman's Sword, the Seven Gentlemen have an even higher status.

Such individuals, barring premature death, are almost certain to become the most outstanding figures to lead their lineage in the future.

"Alright, you may leave now," the old man said softly after reciting the prescription.

"Yes."

Zhang Rongyu slowly left.

The Stone Chamber returned to silence. But a short while later, another person entered silently and stood before the old man.

"Teacher, people from the Gull Academy have arrived. They must be here because of Dongfang Mu's exposure."

The old man, "Dongfang Mu," frowned slightly. "Now that he's been exposed, we shouldn't contact him anymore. He's already being watched from the outside."

The main forces of the Confucian Sect are the Seven Lineages. In addition, there are individual forces led by former scattered Confucian scholars.

Dongfang Mu is one of the representatives of this kind of independent force.

This person has lived in seclusion for many years, secretly spreading his master's theories and ideas in Wushan Prefecture. His words and actions are somewhat radical and imprudent.

Their Righteousness Lineage maintained only a distant relationship with them.

"Then what about Zhang Rongfang?" the man asked again. "Junior Sister Rongyu's younger brother seems to have a direct connection with that Dao Child Zhang Ying. Some forces have spread rumors that the two are the same person. But that's obviously impossible. We inquired with Junior Sister and learned that her brother Zhang Rongfang was just an ordinary person when he entered Qinghe Temple."

"Therefore, it is very likely that Zhang Ying is using Zhang Rongfang's identity to act outside. Considering Zhang Rongfang's Godspeed progress in reaching the High Grade in just a few years, Zhang Ying must be behind him." The old man nodded in agreement.

He then changed the subject, saying, "However, these things are irrelevant to us. Whether it's the Great Dao Sect or any other sect, they will all be targets for our complete annihilation in the future. Our true enemy, from the very beginning, has not been them, but rather those behind them."

"This disciple understands," the man said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"It will be soon. Soon. When the Seven Gentlemen gather, it will be the time for the Seven Lineages Masters to return. At that time," the old man said softly, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
