Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1935 - 1936: Starting Preparations

"In two or three days we'll fly to Binyang, rest a few days and have some fun at my villa first. When the main group is almost there, we'll head to Xianling Mountain to meet up with them."

After listening, Jiang Wen burst out laughing, patted Ling Zhenfei on the shoulder, and said, "No wonder you're a Great Alchemist, kid, you're way too smart."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You Wuliang Mountain people forced me into this."

Jiang Wen said, "Then we'll do it this way. You go tell Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin, and tomorrow we'll act according to the plan."

After the two finished discussing, Jiang Wen left, and Ling Zhenfei went to find Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin.

After hearing it, the two of them were also very happy. Sun Wei said, "I've been brooding over this all day. I didn't expect Wuliang Mountain to be this old-fashioned. In this day and age they still want to walk such a long distance."

Zhang Zhenlin said, "Actually, for people of Wuliang Mountain it's not a bad thing. They've been on the mountain all year round; they really should go down and see the outside world."

Sun Wei said, "But I can't do that. I've been roaming outside for so long, I don't need to walk on foot anymore just to 'broaden my horizons.'"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Then just do it the way I said." Zhang Zhenlin said, "We all saw your Alchemy today. If you say you can't walk, that's perfectly reasonable. But what excuse do we have for not going?"

Sun Wei thought for a moment and said, "That's easy. We'll say we spent the entire day channeling Northern Spiritual Energy to heal Ling Zhenfei, so we're too drained to walk."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "That excuse is a bit far‑fetched, but it should be fine. Let's do it."

After the three settled on the plan, Ling Zhenfei didn't go back. As the saying goes, if you're going to act, act the full set; the two of them really did put on a show and 'treated' Ling Zhenfei's injuries.

But they were only doing it as a performance for others to see, just to make things easier to explain tomorrow.

The night passed without incident, and in the blink of an eye it was the next day. At dawn, when the sky had only just begun to brighten, the whole of Wuliang Mountain stirred; many people had already made their preparations in advance.

So when the bell on the mountain rang, everyone began heading to the main square to assemble.

The disciples of Wuliang Mountain arrived first, then the people of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, and only after that the Guest Elders. There were well over a hundred people standing on the square.

The person in charge of the matter started roll call; the list had long been drawn up. After calling the roll one by one, they discovered three people were missing. Needless to say, Jiang Wen already knew the three had to be Ling Zhenfei and his companions.

This expedition to the Foreign Land Space was being overseen by Elder Chuchen, with the Discipline Court's Xu Mingyuan serving as the leader.

There were also some Wuliang Mountain experts accompanying them. Everyone knew this trip to the Foreign Land Space wasn't simple, so Wuliang Mountain's lineup this time could be called luxurious.

Roll call was naturally Xu Mingyuan's job; a senior like Elder Chuchen would of course not step out to do such things.

After Xu Mingyuan finished roll call he froze for a second, then asked the steward below, "What's the situation with these three? Under whose command are they?"

Jiang Wen had already anticipated this and said, "Senior Brother Xu, I know those three. I'll go find them now and see what's going on."

Xu Mingyuan asked, "This Ling Zhenfei—is he the one who drew down the Heavenly Tribulation while doing Alchemy yesterday?"

Jiang Wen said, "Yes, senior brother. Ling Zhenfei was doing Alchemy for an entire day. He's probably too exhausted and overslept. I'll go check and be right back."

Xu Mingyuan said, "Since this Ling Zhenfei is a master of healing and Alchemy, we must make sure to bring him along. There can't be any mistakes."

Jiang Wen said, "All right, Senior Brother Xu, I'll go now."

Jiang Wen hurried to the room where Ling Zhenfei was staying. The three of them were in the middle of their final act.

The three all pretended to be bedridden. When they saw it was Jiang Wen, Ling Zhenfei finally lifted his head and glanced at him.

Jiang Wen laughed and said, "You look pretty convincing lying there. Not bad, not bad."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm doing this for you, aren't I? Hurry back and follow the plan."

Jiang Wen nodded. After they went over their lines one more time, Jiang Wen finally rushed back.

When Jiang Wen returned, Xu Mingyuan saw he'd come back alone and asked in surprise, "What's going on, how come only you came back?"

Jiang Wen showed a trace of sadness on his face and said, "Here's the situation, senior brother. Ling Zhenfei exhausted too much Northern Spiritual Energy yesterday and his body's unwell. Zhang Zhenlin and Sun Wei spent the whole day helping him circulate energy and heal, so today all three of them are not feeling well."

Xu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "What kind of situation is this? What are those three trying to pull?"

At this moment Murong Liuqing, standing to the side, said disdainfully, "What else could they be doing? Are they scared and trying to desert?"

Jiang Wen said, "They're not trying to desert. I've checked on them, and they do seem quite weak. They really want to go to the Foreign Land Space as well, so they plan to rest a few days at Wuliang Mountain and then take the fastest mode of transportation to catch up with the main group."

Xu Mingyuan's gaze went a bit cold. Clearly angered, he said, "What cultivator is so delicate? I think they're just itching for a beating."

Murong Liuqing said, "Senior brother, why don't I go check on them? If they're faking it, I'll take a blade to them."

Jiang Wen was startled. If Murong Liuqing went, wouldn't the whole thing blow up?

Jiang Wen hurriedly blocked Murong Liuqing and said, "Senior Brother Xu, don't be hasty. Everyone's already assembled; we can't delay too long. How about this: you all go ahead, and I'll stay behind to wait for those brats.

I promise you I'll bring them to Xianling Mountain on time. If even one of them doesn't show up, you can punish me however you like."

Xu Mingyuan glanced around. Everyone had already gathered; he couldn't make over a hundred people wait for just three.

Xu Mingyuan said, "What you're saying makes some sense. How about this: you come with me. You've gone down the mountain many times; you're indispensable for a lot of things. As for supervising those three, we'll leave that to Junior Sister Murong."

Jiang Wen thought, absolutely not—he'd finally found a way to dodge this ordeal; he couldn't let Murong Liuqing snatch this opportunity.

Jiang Wen said, "Senior brother, I really think I'm more suitable to supervise them. I know these people's situation well, especially Ling Zhenfei—I personally persuaded him and brought him up the mountain.

And Junior Sister Murong is a girl after all; having her supervise three grown men isn't very appropriate. Besides, Junior Sister Murong lacks experience in dealing with people. I'm afraid she might suffer."

Xu Mingyuan had just opened his mouth to speak when Murong Liuqing cut in, "What's that supposed to mean, you looking down on me? Why are you saying I can't do it? It's just escorting three people to Xianling Mountain. Senior brother, leave it to me."

Jiang Wen thought, this is bad—Murong Liuqing, why are you fighting me for this now of all times?

Xu Mingyuan looked at Murong Liuqing and said, "Junior sister, are you really sure you can manage?"

Murong Liuqing said, "Senior brother, don't worry. I'm not a three‑year‑old. I know those three fairly well; there won't be any problems."

Xu Mingyuan nodded and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you, Junior Sister Murong. Junior Brother Jiang Wen, I'll be counting on your help along the way."
