Chapter 219: Chapter 218, Mysterious Elder Xu Wendong was quite troubled. He was about to ride forth with passion, but who could have expected Wang Feifei’s husband to suddenly return? Even so, He remained completely unflustered, immediately put on his clothes, and sat by the bed to check Wang Feifei’s pulse. Fortunately, Wang Feifei was in a nightdress, so she didn’t need to frantically get dressed. At the same time, Wang Feifei’s husband, Zhang Yuchun, walked in carrying a canvas bag. Seeing Xu Wendong in his bridal chamber, he immediately showed a wary look, "Who are you? How did you get here?" "Oh, I’m the village doctor sent by the county," Xu Wendong released Wang Feifei’s wrist and said, "Your blood pressure is a bit low. You should pay attention to your diet and mood. Remember, don’t get angry." "Thank you, Doctor Xu," Wang Feifei said politely, but inside she was on edge. Luckily, her husband called out when he came back, or else they would have been caught in bed. If that had really happened, she would have been gossiped about. After learning that Xu Wendong was the village doctor, Zhang Yuchun didn’t think much more. Although a single man and woman were in the same room, neither the main door nor the room door was closed, so it was impossible for them to have done that kind of thing. After Xu Wendong left, Wang Feifei coldly glanced at her husband, "Why did you come back? Why didn’t you stay outside fooling around with your lover?" Zhang Yuchun snorted irritably, "This is my house. Why can’t I come back? Did I disrupt your good time by returning?" Zhang Yuchun hadn’t wanted to return. He had grown accustomed to life in the big city, but after hearing that someone had contracted ten thousand acres of land in Qingshan Village and hearing news of road construction, He keenly sensed that Qingshan Village was a huge business opportunity. It was precisely for this reason that he returned. ------ At the Provincial People’s Hospital, Wu Qiankun lay on the hospital bed. Although the doctors had removed the bullets from his legs, his legs were completely crippled, and he would need a wheelchair for the rest of his life. This made him deeply regretful for having killed Han Shijun to seize the Qingyuan project. But it was too late now. What he needed to do was kill Xu Wendong. "Knock, knock!" Accompanied by a faint knocking sound, Qi Xuan pushed the door open and spoke to Wu Qiankun, "Brother Wu, I received information before that Xia Wujue’s mission to assassinate Xu Wendong failed!" "What?" Wu Qiankun felt a tingling on his scalp, "Xu Wendong actually defeated Xia Wujue, who was in the top ten of the Potential Dragon List?" Qi Xuan nodded, "It’s said that Xia Wujue lost miserably, unable to withstand even a single move from Xu Wendong’s attack." "And now, Xu Wendong has replaced Xia Wujue, becoming one of the top ten on the Potential Dragon List." The Potential Dragon List was a virtual yet real list. To get on the list was simple—just kill the martial experts on the list. The victor could then be listed. Although Xu Wendong had never thought about getting on this Potential Dragon List, his name had made it to the tenth position, definitely the strongest dark horse on the list in the last decade. Wu Qiankun gritted his teeth and said, "Continue to increase the bounty. Even if it costs a billion, I still want Xu Wendong dead." Qi Xuan shook his head, "Xu Wendong’s rise is too rapid. He has already attracted the attention of many experts. As those people learn more about Xu Wendong, the more they fear him. Let alone a billion, even two billion couldn’t make anyone take this task." Xu Wendong himself was extraordinarily powerful, and what’s more, he was proficient in feng shui and mysticism. Just these two aspects ensured that no one dared to mess with him. Wu Qiankun was unwilling to accept this fate and, after pondering for a moment, he said in a low voice, "Brother Qi, can you get in touch with people from the Life-Seeking Sect?" Qi Xuan replied, "The Life-Seeking Sect is the most mysterious assassin organization in the martial world, existing for thousands of years, but very few people can contact anyone from the Life-Seeking Sect." "Even if there were, someone like us wouldn’t be able to reach them." Qi Xuan knew that if they could really enlist someone from the Life-Seeking Sect, Xu Wendong would definitely be eliminated. After all, none of the Life-Seeking Sect’s missions had ever failed. Even if Xu Wendong were powerful enough to kill a member of the Life-Seeking Sect, it would still be akin to stirring up a hornet’s nest. Yes, the Life-Seeking Sect had existed for thousands of years. There had been too many extraordinary assassins throughout history. The most famous of them was Jing Ke. However, Jing Ke was also an embarrassment to the Life-Seeking Sect. He was the only assassin in the history of the Life-Seeking Sect who had failed to complete a mission. And it was after that failed assassination attempt that the Life-Seeking Sect was crazily suppressed by King Qin, suffering heavy casualties. But ultimately, it endured. It was also after that event that the Life-Seeking Sect faded from people’s view. It was only in recent years that they reappeared in the martial world, but not just anyone could contact them. They were like a legend. Their presence was felt everywhere in the martial world. Wu Qiankun sighed helplessly, "Seems like I still have to make that call." Saying this, he picked up a phone beside him, found a number, and called with a nervous heart. After the call connected, he suppressed his inner panic and unease, "Sir, please forgive my incompetence, for I have failed your expectations. But please give me a chance. I will definitely take care of the Qingyuan matter." "I need the contact for the Life-Seeking Sect." ------ The next day. Qingshan Village. Xu Wendong had just finished breakfast when an over eighty-year-old, white-haired elder walked weakly into the village committee with the aid of a cane. "Elder Qin, why did you come over? Are you feeling unwell? You could have just called if you weren’t feeling well. I would have come to your house to check on you. Why go through the trouble of coming all this way!" Xu Wendong had been in the village for several days and knew most of the people there. He knew that the elder in front of him was surnamed Qin and lived on the far west side of the village. The distance from the village committee was not short. Qingshan Village had eight surnames before, but after Elder Qin’s arrival, it became nine. He was an outsider. He had entered Qingshan Village more than fifty years ago. But, When he came to Qingshan Village, he was covered in blood. After his injuries healed, he lost his memory and had lived in Qingshan Village ever since. Though people proposed marriages for him when he was young, he refused them. Instead of finding a wife, he was more interested in discovering his past. Elder Qin, supported by Xu Wendong, sat down at the stone table, a trace of a kindly smile appearing on his aged face, "This old one’s body is unwell, but I know proper decorum. Since it is for a consultation, how could I let Doctor Xu make a house call?" "That’s not right. Your legs aren’t well, so it’s only natural for a junior to come to your home to treat you, right?" Xu Wendong said as he placed his hand on Elder Qin’s wrist. Then he carefully felt his pulse. His pulse was steady, but he was lacking in energy, and his heart and lung functions were severely degraded. The condition wasn’t very serious but did affect his quality of life. Elder Qin forced a smile, "Doctor Xu, I know my body’s condition. I’m not seeking longevity, just hoping to find my past. I don’t want to die without knowing who I am. I wonder if you could help me achieve this dream?"
