Chapter 46

In the days following his triumphant return, Wu Tiejun was truly busy to the point of not touching the ground. He had barely finished his tasks and hadn't even had time to take a sip of water when He Biqu was already urging him to go and welcome Feng Yin.

The first thing He Biqu did upon returning was to shout, "Wu Tiejun!"

"Here!"

"Get over here!"

"Sir, your words are inappropriate! As a subordinate, I must follow your orders and cannot be told to 'roll' over."

"I f***ing... "

He Biqu had returned in high spirits, but the moment he heard the phrase "Sir, your words are inappropriate," he immediately felt a surge of blood to his head.

"I'm here!" Wu Tiejun was already standing at attention in front of him.

"Hurry up!"

"Go and bring Mr. Feng back."

"Take advantage of the fact that Miao Sensen is still mourning and hasn't noticed this side. Act quickly!"

When He Biqu said this, he was quite pleased with himself and didn't even have the time to be angry at Wu Tiejun.

He twirled his beard, glancing at Wu Tiejun, as if to say, "I've already taken care of my business, aren't you curious?"

Hurry up and ask, so I can brag a bit.

"Sir, you've already completed this task?" Wu Tiejun was indeed very surprised: "So quickly?"

"Hehe..." He Biqu smiled modestly: "If someone else had done it, it might have taken longer, but with my old face, it's still worth something."

"Sir, you're absolutely right. Your face is definitely worth a lot!"

Wu Tiejun flattered: "If it were torn off, it would be worth two large carts of medicine."

Huh?

He Biqu frowned. This f***ing, this doesn't sound right. Oh, right, this bastard is reminding me to pay my debts!

His mood instantly soured, and he glared at Wu Tiejun.

"Sir, what specific position will Mr. Feng have? He won't be assigned to the White Robes, right?"

Wu Tiejun was fully supportive of bringing Dr. Feng over, but he had his concerns and felt quite uneasy.

"Who am I? After going through so much trouble to invite a divine doctor like Dr. Feng, how could I let him join the White Robes?"

He Biqu crossed his legs: "Old Kong heard about this and was immediately interested. He nagged me for a long time, saying he would give him a position as an executive and assign him to the White Robes. Hehe... How could I let him have his way?"

"A mere insignificant position, and he wants Dr. Feng to join? What a waste of talent, what a ridiculous idea... Hehe, that old man must be crazy, delusional. They must have lost their minds." He Biqu was very pleased and started to brag.

"Minister Kong actually wanted Dr. Feng to join? Sir, you actually managed to keep him from Minister Kong! That's really impressive!"

Wu Tiejun was almost in awe.

That's his superior, as the saying goes, a higher rank can crush a person. Sir, you're really amazing!

He Biqu's lips twitched, feeling he had bragged a bit too much, so he coughed and acknowledged it.

"Then, what position did you secure for Mr. Feng?" Wu Tiejun was surprised.

"Free Walker."

He Biqu lifted his eyes proudly: "Rainbow Green Robe, Free Walker."

"Free Walker?"

Wu Tiejun was shocked: "Is this a position only available at the Rainbow Heavenly Robe headquarters? Although the rank isn't too high, the freedom is the greatest. You can do almost anything you want, and the most important thing is, you have the authority to mobilize a hundred Rainbow Green Robes. This..."

Wu Tiejun was instantly envious, feeling a bit gloomy: "Just in terms of actual functions, it's higher than mine... I, I've been in the service for thirty years..."

He Biqu rolled his eyes: "You know you've been in the service for thirty years? Why don't you mention where you started? You started in the capital and ended up in this godforsaken place, demoted all the way from a thousand-man commander to a thirty-man squad leader. Do you still have the nerve to mention those thirty years? If I were you, I would have hanged myself from a crooked tree long ago... I wouldn't have the face to live in a world where everyone else is getting promoted."

Wu Tiejun's face turned black.

Can you not directly expose my wounds like that?

I have my dignity, you know?

Besides, what do you mean by "a world where everyone else is getting promoted"? That's not true at all!

"Sir, what about Fei Xinyu? Has he been promoted?"

Wu Tiejun was indignant. This was something he had been muttering to himself, but for some reason, it slipped out of his mouth.

He Biqu's face turned black, and he kicked Wu Tiejun, his beard standing up.

"You f***ing... Can't you find a better example?"

"Then... Is Mr. Feng's affiliation with the Green Robe headquarters? At least nominally?"

Wu Tiejun thought for a moment and asked again.

He Biqu said calmly: "If he still had to be affiliated with the Green Robe headquarters, why would I have to come here myself? Mr. Feng, once in Yuezhou, is a Free Walker in Yuezhou. If he goes to the capital, he's a Free Walker in the capital. Even if he goes to the Rainbow Heavenly Robe headquarters, he still has certain authority because his Free Walker status is dual-colored, green and white."

"Whoa..."

Wu Tiejun drew a sharp breath: "Sir, Dr. Feng is indeed capable, but you've given him too much. Do you really value Mr. Feng that much? Is this too...?"

He now realized why He Biqu had to personally handle this seemingly minor matter. The position He Biqu had secured for Mr. Feng was indeed very important.

"My plan is a bold gamble."

He Biqu stood up, hands behind his back, looking out the door: "Besides seeing great potential in this young man, I also have practical considerations. Even if his ancestral divine medicine never comes to fruition, with his current skills, he can establish himself within ten years and gradually secure his position as a Free Walker. It's better to secure his loyalty and person now rather than later."

Wu Tiejun's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but loosen his tightly tied collar and then retie it: "If he develops the divine medicine, how long will it take to secure his position?"

He Biqu held up one finger: "This much time."

Wu Tiejun swallowed: "One year?"

He Biqu smiled faintly: "One day! This one day is to notify the relevant people. I think it will take at least one day, no less!"

Wu Tiejun was completely stunned.

But deep down, he admitted that He Biqu had really pulled off a great act.

And he did it so naturally.

His coolness was off the charts.

...

Wu Tiejun rushed out of Yuezhou like a whirlwind. At the city gate, the guards saluted him, and by the time he returned the salute, he was already a hundred paces away from the gate.

Racing down the road, he was not wearing his Green Robe but civilian clothes, moving at breakneck speed.

He still heard He Biqu's words in his ears, feeling a sense of disbelief.

He had already thought highly of Feng Yin, but he never imagined that in He Biqu's eyes, Feng Yin had reached such a height!

Free Walker!

Wu Tiejun knew better than anyone what this meant.

Every Free Walker in the Rainbow Heavenly Robe was a top-notch figure.

Their eyes were as if they were on their foreheads.

And Feng Yin, coming in and immediately reaching such a high position, especially as a dual-colored Free Walker, was not just impressive but extraordinary!

He could be as impressive as he wanted to be!

Realizing this, Wu Tiejun was even more anxious and increased his already maximum speed.

It was noon.

He could already see the small town in the distance.

At first glance, Wu Tiejun's face changed drastically.

He saw that the small town was on fire, with thick smoke billowing.

A sudden realization made Wu Tiejun's eyes bloodshot and his face ashen.

"Please don't let it be the clinic!"

"Please don't let it be the clinic! Please, please!"

...

A day earlier.

Miao Sensen, still in a somber mood after burying his brothers, did not have time to visit their families.

He returned to the temporary office immediately.

Before the matter was settled and he had done nothing, Miao Sensen felt guilty about visiting his brothers' families.

It seemed as if the spirits of his brothers were asking him: "You haven't done anything, and you're coming to console us with a few silver notes? Who are you trying to look down on?"

So Miao Sensen immediately returned to his post.

As he entered the door, he was already giving urgent orders.

"Someone, bring me the interrogation results! I want to see them immediately!"

Everyone immediately got to work.

Miao Sensen listened to the report with a dark face.

"Is it confirmed to be in that small town?"

"A wandering doctor?"

"Strange temper?"

"High skills?"

"He cured He Biqu's chronic illness?"

"So many Rainbow Green Robes with internal injuries, not a single one died, and their martial arts potential was not damaged?"

Miao Sensen thought for a moment and made a decisive decision: "Gather thirty-six people, and follow me! White Robes, you two come with us."

"Sir, there's still military intelligence..."

"Matters have different levels of urgency. Some things cannot be delayed, or they will change and it will be too late to regret."

Miao Sensen said coldly: "If this intelligence is true and there is such a doctor, the role this doctor can play is enormous. What level of cultivation is He Biqu? What kind of incurable injury does he have? A wandering doctor's casual prescription cured an injury that thirty years of cultivation couldn't heal. What level of medical skill is that?"

"If the Rainbow Heavenly Robe takes this person back... How can we fight? We don't have a divine doctor, but they can recover from near-death and still fight. We are already at a disadvantage, and this would eventually crush us."

"So this matter... is not just about revenge."

"It's about eliminating a potential threat that could destroy us, a major threat! If we can turn it into an advantage, that would be best."

"Kill the informants! Leave no trace."

"Set out immediately!"

...

[At this point, the basic structure of the world, including the Jianghu, the continent, and various countries, is half-formed. The only mention of the demon race is a brief one, but that will come later. The next challenge is to fully develop the martial arts hierarchy and the manifestation of combat power. I've scrapped the original setting and need to rethink it. Feel free to offer suggestions. As for updates, don't worry, I have plenty of drafts! It's quite fat!]
