Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 8

by North Night (夜北)

  But Gu Ying had not known that Jun Wu Xie was always careful and meticulous in her plans and she would never allow Gu Ying much time to discover or detect anything from her.

  Jun Wu Xie went into Gu Li Sheng’s office alone. Gu Ying glanced around the room before he closed the door and when he saw that only Gu Li Sheng was in there, he smiled and mumbled a few lines before he retreated from the room.

  Once the door was shut, the stiff smile on Gu Li Sheng’s face quickly disappeared. He strode quickly to the door and stuck his ear onto it, and listened intently for a while. After he was certain that Gu Ying was not at the door trying to eavesdrop on them, he finally sighed in relief and was finally able to show Jun Wu Xie a genuine smile.

  “You are Jun Xie?” A strange voice suddenly spoke within her mind. Jun Wu Xie raised her head and she suddenly saw Wen Xin Han dressed in a blue flowing robe walking out from behind a tightly shut bookcase.

  Chapter 707: “Prepping for the Counter (5)”

  Wen Xin Han had not opened his mouth, but that voice had reached Jun Wu Xie’s ears.

  Voice transmission through the spirit!

  That was a skill only the purple spirit can use!

  Jun Wu Xie looked at Wen Xin Han whom she had not seen for some time. She noticed that Wen Xin Han’s looks had not changed in the slightest, but the commanding and imposing air he exuded into the space around him now, it was vastly different from before!

  Just by standing there, Wen Xin Han’s mere presence was already making them feel an invisible oppressive force pressing down on them.

  From an indigo spirit to the purple spirit, it was only one step away. But the span of that one single step, was an impossible leap for an innumerable and countless number of people!

  Jun Wu Xie did not immediately answer Wen Xin Han’s query. Her gaze turned slightly towards the door and Wen Xin Han said in understanding: “I have already used my spirit power to isolate us. He will not be able to hear a word of our conversation.”

  When Wen Xin Han spoke, his eyes were discreetly measuring the petite sized youth before him. The youth was perceived to be a little on the small side compared to others his age, and a tad too skinny. And that face with his delicate features was different from the one in his memory that was able to bring down cities and lay countries into ruin. But somehow, when Wen Xin Han looked into that pair of chilling eyes cold as autumn waters, he could not help but find them extremely familiar.

  Exactly like those he saw that day, the very same set of eyes on that young lady!

  “Has your granddaughter recovering well?” Jun Wu Xie asked as she looked at Wen Xin Han. Her first question already causing Wen Xin Han to be taken aback.

  [She knows!]

  [She is really from the Lin Palace afterall?]

  Wen Xin Han wiped away the surprise in his eyes and nodded slightly.

  “Very much better, and she will only need a little more nursing to make a complete recovery.”

  Gu Li Sheng stared at Wen Xin Han in great surprise before he turned to stare at Jun Xie in confusion. He had known about Wen Xin Han’s granddaughter”s affliction and for that, Wen Xin Han had even served the Qing Yun Clan for a time. But after the Qing Yun Clan disappeared, there had been no news about Wen Xin Han ever since. And hearing the conversation between the two people, it seems that Wen Xin Han’s granddaughter has recovered?

  “You pledged on that day that if the elixir is able to save your granddaughter’s life, you would henceforth owe me your life. Do you still stand by your own words?” Jun Wu Xie asked.

  Even the highly revered Wen Xin Han, could not help but show an expression of utter shock on his wizened face.

  Those words, he would naturally still remember them. And what he remembered even more distinctly, was to whom he had said those very words to!

  “You are Jun Wu Xie? The Young Miss of the Lin Palace?” Wen Xin Han’s eyes suddenly flashed in joyous surprise.

  Jun Wu Xie nodded.

  With Jun Wu Xie’s nod in agreement, Gu Li Sheng suddenly found himself turned to stone. He could only stare in wide eyed astonishment at Jun Wu Xie, his mind a complete and utter blank.

  [Lin Palace?]

  [Jun Wu Xie?]

  [Just what is going on here?]

  Wen Xin Han immediately bowed in greeting before Jun Wu Xie. “I would like to proffer my utmost gratitude to the Jun Family’s Young Miss for lending a hand to have saved my granddaughter’s life! I had intended to go present my humble self before the doors of the Lin Palace to express my immeasurable gratitude to you but I gathered from the Duke that the Young Miss would not be in the Palace for a period and I had been filled with regret. And I had not expected to be able to meet the Young Miss here! Please allow Wen Xin Han to pay my obeisance here!”

  Immediately, Wen Xin Han quickly dispersed his oppressive spirit aura and bowed deeply before Jun Wu Xie.

  Gu Li Sheng was about to lose his mind.

  Wen Xin Han was the most highly revered and most highly skilled exponent as being the first person in the last century to have been able to achieve a breakthrough to the exalted purple spirit! Such an esteemed and worshipped individual was actually bowing in unhesitant deferment, lowering his eminent self before Jun Wu Xie, a kid younger than his own granddaughter…..

  Gu Li Sheng’s mind was spinning out of control, he seriously suspected whether his eyes were playing tricks on himself!

  [An exalted purple spirit, before a little lass in her teens, was not only dispensing with all the protocols of formalities, he was even bowing and humbling himself here…..]

  [Has the world really gone mad?]

  “There’s no need. I only need to ask you whether your words still stand.” Jun Wu Xie was not concerned whether Wen Xin Han was grateful to her, what she cared about was whether he was a man who stood by his word!

  Chapter 708: Prepping for the Counter (7)

  Wen Xin Han said with a warm smile: “The words of Wen Xin Han would always count.”

  Jun Wu Xie nodded, satisfied with the answer she got.

  “I do not need you to give me your life, I will need to make use of your life to win me another person’s life.” Jun Wu Xie said with her eyes narrowed.

  “Please tell me what I must do.” Wen Xin Han asked without a moment’s hesitation. He did not even bother to probe further and he agreed to it immediately. It could be seen from here how the Wen Family’s reputation of unwavering loyalty had come about.

  With Wen Xin Han’s status and his power, he could very well choose not to honour the promise he made to Jun Wu Xie. The strength and power of a true purple spirit was immeasurable and even the Lin Palace itself might not be able to demand that from the current Wen Xin Han, but Wen Xin Han had nevertheless chosen to honour his promise.

  That was a trait that Jun Wu Xie deeply respected. Jun Wu Xie was glad her grandfather had not misjudged Wen Xin Han then and the Wen Family were indeed people of integrity.

  “There’s no rush. There are a few things I need to ask you.” With Wen Xin Han’s assuring reply, Jun Wu Xie was no longer anxious. Now that she was sure that Wen Xin Han was on her side, all that was left to do was to gather more information about the enemy and wait for an opportunity to strike!

  “Please ask.” Wen Xin Han replied patiently.

  Gu Li Sheng was watching without being able to say a word from the side. Jun Wu Xie was without a doubt the calmest and most collected little one he had ever seen. Facing a purple spirit, Jun Wu Xie had unreservedly accepted Wen Xin Han’s offer of obeisance and her words had even made Wen Xin Han submit to her requests. Looking at the way Wen Xin Han was acting, he seemed to have absolutely no qualms or doubts with what Jun Wu Xie was asking of him. Gu Li Sheng found himself in complete awe of Jun Wu Xie’s dominating capabilities that was able to even make a character like Wen Xin Han submit to her.

  “Erm….. Why don’t we all sit down first?” Gu Li Sheng asked cautiously
after clearing his throat.

  Without knowing the reason, Gu Li Sheng suddenly felt rather small before the Jun Wu Xie and Wen Xin Han.

  With Wen Xin Han, it might still be easy to explain, he was a purple spirit after all. Throughout the expansive vast lands, few if any were able to negotiate on equal terms with Wen Xin Han. But Jun Wu Xie was only just a young youth and Gu Li Sheng found that he was not able and he had never been, to put up an air of being an elder before her.

  Jun Wu Xie and Wen Xin Han nodded to each other to take a seat and Jun Wu Xie did not waste time by immediately saying: “In the period that Senior Wen has been in the Zephyr Academy, you must have gained a clear understanding of everything that goes on within the grounds. I am sure Senior Wen must have noticed that the person outside that door possesses extremely strong power and isn’t just an ordinary youth. I would like to ask, in the time that you were here, have you noticed any person holding a similar or higher level of power than him here?”

  Wen Xin Han was surprised, never having expected that Jun Wu Xie would ask something like this. He thought about it a moment before shaking his head.

  “That youth Gu Ying has a rather strange kind of spirit power and in the Zephyr Academy, I have only seen his spirit power like that and have not seen any others.”

  Wen Xin Han’s words matched what Ye Sha had observed in the recent days within the Zephyr Academy. Besides Gu Ying, there were no other people from the Middle Realm and Jun Wu Xie had wanted Wen Xin Han to further affirm it to be sure. Afterall, Wen Xin Han had been in the Zephyr Academy for more than two weeks and what he knew would be more than the information Ye Sha had gathered in the past few days.

  With Wen Xin Han’s confirmation, the murderous glint seething in Jun Wu Xie’s eyes no longer needed to be hidden.

  “Young Miss Jun….. Don’t tell me you intend….. to make a move on Gu Ying?” Wen Xin Han’s expression was a little heavy hearted as he looked at Jun Wu Xie.

  Jun Wu Xie was about to say something but when she noticed Wen Xin Han’s strange expression, she swallowed it back down and instead asked: “Is there something bothering Senior Wen?”

  Wen Xin Han’s brow creased up, looking a little concerned as he stared at Jun Wu Xie. He hesitated for a long while but finally still opened his mouth.

  “Does Young Miss Jun know about the Three Realms?”

  Jun Wu Xie’s heart jumped.

  Volume 8

  Chapter 709: “Prepping for the Counter (8)”

  “We are not supposed to know of the existence of the Three Realms. But it wasn’t too long ago that my granddaughter’s illness was cured by our Young Miss Jun and the worry that had plagued my heart for the longest of time was finally dispelled, which unexpectedly allowed me to achieve an astounding breakthrough to the purple spirit.” Wen Xin Han said unhurriedly, letting out a long sigh.

  Even Wen Xin Han himself had not expected that he would be able to breakthrough to the exalted purple spirit.

  Jun Wu Xie had not only saved his granddaughter’s life, but she had also dissolved the knot in his heart which allowed him to be able to reach such unimaginable heights.

  And about a month after Wen Xin Han attained the purple spirit, a mysterious person had suddenly appeared at the place he resided at. Wen Xin Han had lived in seclusion deep within the mountains for a long time and the location he resided in was concealed and he had never mentioned it to anyone before but that man had still managed to find him. Before Wen Xin Han was able to ask him anything, that man had immediately attacked him.

  Wen Xin Han had just broken through to the purple spirit level at that time and his spirit power had just increased greatly. He had thought he would be able to take his opponent down easily but unexpectedly, even after battling for an entire period of three days and three nights, they were still unable to determine a winner. It was only when both of them were no longer able to continue fighting and they both stopped that the battle was able to end.

  The man had thereafter issued Wen Xin Han am invitation and told him about the Three Realms.

  It was only at that time that Wen Xin Han got to know that the land they were all in her was called the Lower Realm, and above them, there was a place they called the Middle Realm. That mysterious man then claimed he came from the Middle Realm, from a place called the Temple of the Dragon.

  According to that man, only those who broke through and attained the purple spirit would be qualified to enter the Middle Realm and all individuals who had managed that in the Lower Realm in times past would have received an invitation from the Middle Realm, which explained why the purple spirits that had appeared in the Lower Realm in the past would somehow disappear after a time, and the invitation’s validity would stand for a year.

  Within a year, if Wen Xin Han agreed to it, he would inform them by writing and they would then make arrangements to receive Wen Xin Han into the Middle Realm.

  If Wen Xin Han wanted to reject them, he didn’t need to do anything and the offer would lapse once the one year’s time ran out.

  In the long history of the Lower Realm, there had been quite a number of purple spirits. But after gaining unsurpassing fame, those purple spirits had always disappeared without a trace. Only a rare one or two purple spirits would continue to appear in people’s rumours and in the end, the number of purple spirits further diminished in the Lower Realm till Wen Xin Han became the first person in the past century to receive an invitation from the Middle Realm.

  The man who issued Wen Xin Han the invitation had promised, that as long as Wen Xin Han accepted it, he would be able to pursue unparalleled power, power that was stronger even than the purple spirit.

  To have attained the purple spirit, one must have pursued power to outdo themselves relentlessly their whole lives, and the promise of letting them achieve more power that overshadowed what they held was indeed greatest temptation to them.

  “That man looked to have turned forty just not too long ago and he was already fighting on equal footing with me. That had made me curious how such a young man had been able to hold such strong power but he instead told me it wasn’t just him, but even their teenage kids in the Middle Realm were able to do it. As for Gu Ying, although I had not seen how strong or weak his spirit power is normally, I had once observed the purple spirit power he released and thought that anyone who was able to hold such power an age so young must have come from the Middle Realm.” Wen Xin Han sighed upon saying. He had not wanted himself to be drawn into in the conflict within the Zephyr Academy because there were people from the Middle Realm involved and he did not want to poke his nose into their affairs.

  “Young Miss Jun, unless absolutely necessary, it is best not to provoke people from the Middle Realm.” Wen Xin Han was genuinely looking out for Jun Wu Xie. Having seen the might of the Middle Realm, Wen Xin Han, though already a purple spirit, did not dare be too confident anymore.

  Chapter 710: “Prepping for the Counter (9)”

  “What if I must go against them?” Jun Wu Xie looked at Wen Xin Han, her face deadly serious.

  Wen Xin Han was taken aback a moment before he replied with steely determination: “I will not go back on my word to you.”

  Jun Wu Xie nodded slightly as Wen Xin Han expressed his determination.

  “I will not need you to confront Gu Ying, but for you to look after Fan Jin during this period, to ensure he stays alive, and you will have fulfilled your promise to me.” When Jun Wu Xie had said to use Wen Xin Han’s life, she had meant to hold him to his word to protect Fan Jin with his life.

  An expression of surprise showed on Wen Xin Han’s face as he said: “My Young Miss Jun need not put it this way. Fan Jin is the son of an old friend of mine, and even my Young Miss Jun did not say it, I would still have protected Fan Jin.”

  Jun Wu Xie shook her head.

  “I want you to break him out of imprisonment. Immediately.”

  With Fan Jin locked up there, even if his life could
be protected, he would still be put under indescribable torment. Now that she had returned, she could not sit back and do nothing!

  Wen Xin Han was silent a moment.

  “Are you certain?”

  Jun Wu Xie nodded affirmatively.

  Wen Xin Han considered a moment before he said: “Alright. I will bring him out of here today. But you must know that even if he escapes this day, Fan Jin will be saddled with the crime of having murdered his own father henceforth.” It wasn’t that Wen Xin Han was reluctant to break Fan Jin out of his imprisonment. But if he were to run away, then all that he would never be cleared of everything he had been accused of. Fan Jin would be forced to live in hiding, burying his own name in shame, as his name would only invite ridicule and curses. He was such a jovial and righteous boy and if he was forced to shoulder the crime that he did not commit, and lived a life humiliated and in hiding, it would be an unjustified insult and disgrace to the Fan Family’s name and reputation.

  Hence, Wen Xin Han had wanted to find and produce evidence, to prove Fan Jin’s innocence.

  Jun Wu Xie looked at Wen Xin Han in his eyes and said: “I will clear his name.”

  If she was going to do it, she would see it through all the way to the end, and not leave any room for regrets.

  “Alright.” Giving Jun Wu Xie his complete trust, Wen Xin Han did not ask her another word on it.

  Jun Wu Xie then told Wen Xin Han to bring Fan Jin to Chan Lin Town after the deed was done.

  Finishing all that she came to say, Jun Wu Xie immediately left. The time their conversation had taken had been short, but they had been open with their intentions. When Jun Wu Xie came out of the office, Gu Ying was still waiting outside the door staring at her with a wide smile on his face. Jun Wu Xie left walked away without giving him any reaction and Gu Ying followed after behind her.
