Chapter 26 Cultivation, Charging Through the Pass

  The discussion meeting about the Hundred Grass Painting Album lasted until 10 o'clock in the evening. Xiao Mi had already been taken back by the babysitter, and when Yang Xuan announced the end of work, the employees who had added a few hours to their shift quickly left, leaving only Wu Rui and Yang Xuan in the store.

  Yang Xiang locked the gate and suddenly said to Wu Rui: "Wu Rui, I'll send you back!"

  "It's okay, I'll just walk back myself." Wu Rui politely declined, Yang Guafu's enthusiasm made him a bit overwhelmed. Moreover, Wu Rui's keen sense discovered that since he drove away Peng Long and others, Yang Xuan's gaze at him had been somewhat unusual. This kind of gaze he had seen on Liu Guafu in the village when she looked at Lao Touzi.

  "Don't be polite with me, I have a car, I'll give you a ride." Yang Xuan didn't give Wu Rui a choice, and with a flick of the keys in her hand, a beautiful car in front of them beeped twice.

  "Alright..." Yang Xuan's enthusiasm was hard to refuse, Wu Rui had no choice but to accept.

  Sitting in the passenger seat, smelling a unique feminine scent beside him, Wu Rui was somewhat enchanted. This feeling made him suddenly sit up straight and shift his buttocks uncomfortably before laughing and saying: "This car is quite comfortable to sit in!"

  "Pffft!" Yang Xuan heard this and smiled, then curiously turned her head to look at Wu Rui and asked: "Haven't you ever taken a ride in a car before?"

  "It's my first time sitting in this." Wu Rui didn't hide the truth, saying that he had always lived in a mountain valley and had never sat in such an iron box before. He had ridden flying swords, but not cars. However, to his surprise, this car wasn't bad at all - it was comfortable to sit in, and ordinary people could drive it too. The wisdom of the secular world really amazed him.

  Yang Xuan heard this and turned his head back to look at Wu Rui with a surprised expression, almost crashing the car into the roadside utility pole.

  She just casually asked, but didn't expect that Wu Rui had never taken a taxi before. This couldn't help but surprise her, let alone in the city, even rural people have plenty of opportunities to take taxis, no car is normal, but who hasn't taken a taxi?

  For a moment, Yang Xuan became more curious about Wu Rui's past and asked while driving: "Did you used to live in the mountains all along?"

  "That's right, I used to follow my master in the mountains to learn and live, and only recently came to E City." Wu Rui didn't hide anything either, and he also needed to chat to distract himself.

  "Master? Your medical skills are already formidable, so is your master even more formidable?" Yang Xuan asked anxiously. At this time, she thought that if she could invite Wu Rui's master to treat Xiao Mi, she should be able to completely eradicate the disease from Xiao Mi's body.

  Upon hearing this, Wu Rui felt somewhat displeased - wasn't Yang's widow looking down on him like this?

  Yang Xiang also felt out of place at this time, and hurriedly slowed down the car. Embarrassed, he turned his head to explain to Wu Rui: "Sorry, I didn't mean to belittle you, I just wanted to cure Xiao Mi's illness as soon as possible, really sorry!"

  Although she had a good impression of Wu Rui, the position of her daughter was more important in her heart. Just now, she lost control and made a mistake, now she is filled with regret. If this makes Wu Rui dissatisfied, then she has no hope!

  "Never mind, the old man's medical skills are indeed more powerful than mine. It's just that he is not in Goose City now and can't come to treat Xiaomi." Wu Rui could also understand the widow's emotions, so her dissatisfaction disappeared instantly. Seeing that she was still worried, he comforted her: "But don't worry, I have already controlled Xiaomi's condition for now. After two days, I will come again to treat her and definitely cure this congenital illness."

  "Thank you, Wu Rui!" Yang Xuan gave a deep thank you to Wu Rui before continuing to drive the car towards the rental house where Wu Rui was.

  The sedan stopped under the old community building, looking at the shabby and musty community environment in front of her, Yang Xiang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, biting her bright red lips, suddenly blushing and saying to Wu Rui who was about to push the door out: "Wu Rui, this community environment is a bit poor, I happen to have a few empty rooms, you can move in."

  "Ah......" Wu Rui was startled by his words.

  Yang Xiang's face was almost red enough to drip water, and he lowered his head to explain: "Leaving it empty is a waste, and you can also use it to treat Xiao Mi's illness at any time."

  But Yang Xuan's explanation seemed powerless, and Wu Rui still stared at her with wide eyes.

  Seeing Wu Rui like this, Yang Xuan's courage that had just been raised instantly disappeared without a trace. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at the strange gaze cast by Wu Rui, only revealing her red ears, her hands constantly rubbing together, both expectant and shy.

  “……” Wu Rui found his heart beating a bit faster, and he was also quite tempted by Yang's suggestion, but he knew this was an extremely dangerous signal. He quickly got out of the car, leaving behind only one sentence: “Uh... thanks Yang Xuan, but I'll still be staying here for now, see you later!”

  Watching Wu Rui leave in a hurry, Yang Xuan was both shy and amused, to the point where her smile was somewhat laughable. She thought to herself, "Could it be that I'm a tiger?" With a playful pout, she turned the car around and left the neighborhood.

  Yang Xiang didn't know that she wasn't a tiger, but a fox spirit. Wu Rui ran to his own room and first went to the bathroom to take a cold shower, and the warmth in his heart gradually dissipated.

  "No wonder the old man said that widows are the most charming!" Wu Rui muttered to himself as he came out of the bathroom, and casually took out his large mobile phone from the Mi Na ring.

  "Ding... You have new messages, please check... " Wu Rui had just taken out his phone when the text messages started pouring in, with over a dozen arriving in quick succession, leaving him stunned. If he remembered correctly, only three people knew his phone number: Old Man, Xu Manli, and Yang Widow.

  "Xu Manli?" Looking at the number displayed on the screen, Wu Rui immediately raised an eyebrow, wondering if this woman was here to seek revenge. He opened the text messages one by one to take a look.

  "Little husband, why haven't you turned it on yet?"

  "Bastard, your wife is looking for you, don't run away!"

  "Ah...... I heard you're wanted, unbelievable!!!"

  "Haha, I found out, it was Wang Feng'an who was looking for trouble with you."

  "I told Ruoxi about this, she scolded that guy and has already withdrawn the police's accusation, so you don't have to escape anymore, come back quickly!"

  "Answer the phone and apologize to me obediently, otherwise... hum, I'll continue to let the police catch you, don't forget that you don't have a medical license."

  ……

  After reading over ten short messages, Wu Rui couldn't help but smile wryly. It turned out that the shrewish woman had already helped to withdraw the police, and he was still worried about how to deal with it.

  "Ding ding ding......" At this moment, the mobile phone rang again, and the display was not someone else, but "Xu Manli". Wu Rui answered with a smile.

  "Ah! You finally turned on your phone, I thought you'd been murdered and thrown into the Goose River! The phone had just been answered when a sentence came through that made Wu Rui laugh and cry at the same time. Then Xu Manli shouted loudly: "Young man, you disturbed me last night, making me so angry that I couldn't sleep well and now I have two black eye circles, my skin is also very dry... Speak up, how are you going to compensate me?"

  Wu Rui's smile froze, and the words of gratitude that had been on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down. He stiffly smiled and said, "This has nothing to do with me, right?"

  "What? It's none of your business?" The voice coming from the receiver was a bit too loud.

  Wu Rui moved his phone away from his ear and smiled reluctantly, "Yesterday you told me to call you as soon as I bought the phone."

  The person opposite her fell silent for a while, and it wasn't until much later that Xu Manli murmured: "But aren't you being too reckless? You called me in the middle of the night, almost scaring me to death, and now you've gone to get your case withdrawn by the police... Am I not being very cheap?"

  Wu Rui was somewhat embarrassed by the words, scratched his head and said: "When I have a chance, I'll find some beauty medicine to send to you, as a thank you for your help today."

  "What you said, don't try to fool me with nonsense, I have very high standards!" Xu Manli accepted Wu Rui's 'thank you gift' without any reserve or politeness.

  They chatted for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.

  Wu Rui shook his head and smiled, casually placing the phone on the table. He then took out the half-bitten ginseng from his bag and put it directly into his mouth to chew. After a strong spiritual energy entered his abdomen, Wu Rui closed his eyes and began to cultivate the Shen Nong Jing, transforming the ginseng's spiritual energy into true energy.

  Upgrading the clinic is important, but Wu Rui values his own cultivation more, because treating patients with facial paralysis in the clinic also requires strength. If he fails, not only will he ruin his reputation, but the clinic will also deduct corresponding points from him.

  Wu Rui did not lose his bearings due to temporary gains, he still clearly knew what was important and what was not. The clinic was indeed important, but without the Shennong Bencao Jing, the clinic would not be able to operate normally - the Shennong Bencao Jing was his foundation and reliance.

  Tonight, Wu Rui is about to use the powerful spiritual energy of ginseng to forcefully break through and make a breakthrough. As long as he breaks through to the realm of a physician, whether in the real world or in the dimensional clinic, Wu Rui will have even more confidence.
