Episode 20: The Warrior Dong Jian
Early in the morning, a Santana sedan was already parked at the entrance of the park. A middle-aged man waved his hand to stop the driver who wanted to get out of the car, and he himself pushed open the door and walked out. This person had a square face, which made people know that he was a resolute person at first glance. Although he looked only in his 40s, there was an aura between his eyebrows, which was often possessed by those who held high positions.
"Dad, it's chilly in the morning and you're not feeling well, why don't you stay in the car for a while?" A crisp voice of a young girl came from inside the car, followed by a beautiful girl emerging from the other side of the car door, who was Chen Nan, the one who had been looking for Li Yan to seek medical treatment a few days ago. The middle-aged man was his father.
"Xiao Nan, I'm telling you, when is that divine doctor coming? Your grandfather's condition was serious to begin with, and now he's been transferred back home from the hospital. This can't be delayed! The middle-aged man's words were laced with urgency and worry. As a son, it's only natural to be anxious when his father's life hangs in the balance. If he weren't worried at all, that would be strange."
Chen Nan smiled wryly and said, "Dad, don't worry, that divine doctor said he comes here every morning to exercise. Last time, I found him here too... Ah, look, he's coming!"
The middle-aged man heard this and hurriedly looked in the direction Chen Nan was pointing, and indeed saw a thin young man walking towards them with the morning dew. At the same time that they discovered each other, the young man also seemed to have seen them and was walking towards them. Before long, he arrived nearby.
"Doctor, hello!" Up until now, Chen Nann still didn't know Li Yan's name, so she could only address him in this way, warmly greeting him.
"I've said it before, I'm not a doctor, just call me Li Yan!" Since he had already decided to go and treat the other person's family member, Li Yan naturally didn't have any intention of hiding his identity anymore. Moreover, at present, he had already restored his yuan Shen and absorbed some of the power of the Three Lives Stone. His cultivation may not be comparable to that of an Eight Tribulations Scattered Immortal in his previous life, but it had reached the peak of a One Tribulation Scattered Immortal. Even if he couldn't be invincible under the heavens, he didn't have to fear anyone either.
"That... that Li Yan Xiaoyi is it!" Chen Nang hadn't even responded, when the middle-aged man beside him couldn't help but speak up: "I'm Chen Zhenbang, Xiaonang's father, the patient's second son. Now that you're here, shouldn't we get ready to go to my place and treat the old man?"
"No rush, no rush," Li Yan waved his hand and chuckled: "Let's talk about my conditions first. Have you all agreed?" As he spoke, his eyes swept over the driver in the driver's seat, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"This... since everyone has already come, these conditions are naturally agreed upon." Obviously, Chen Nang is not just a half-grown girl, Chen Zhenbang seems much more sophisticated.
"Alright, I'll go exercise first, then you can do whatever you want." Upon hearing this, Li Yan smiled slightly and immediately left the father-daughter duo behind, walking towards the park.
"Ah! Divine Doctor——" Seeing this, Chen Zhenbang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. By the time he came to his senses, Li Yan had already gone far away.
"Chief, shall I stop him?" At this time, the driver of the car also got out and saw Chen Zhenbang's appearance, and hurriedly spoke up.
"Never mind, Dong Jian, don't bother!" Chen Zhenbang hastily declined his driver and bodyguard's words, and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. He knew that this driver and bodyguard, Dong Jian, was specially arranged by his own father to take care of his safety, and was formerly a top-notch expert from the country's first special forces unit, not only an elite special soldier, but also a master of national martial arts.
What is Guo Shu, it's not the so-called Chinese martial arts commonly seen on the market, but a real combat technique that doesn't perform and only kills enemies, combined with a unique Qigong method, also known as ancient martial arts!
Although Longtan City is one of the country's key major cities, even as the mayor, he doesn't know much about these mysterious beings. However, this didn't prevent him from knowing that Dong Jian, who had cultivated ancient martial arts, possessed incredible combat strength. If it were an enemy, that would be fine, but the person in front of him was a divine doctor, a lifesaving divine doctor. If he were to suffer even a slight injury, the other party might refuse to help treat his illness, and then his own father would have no hope left.
Endure! One word, endure! Remember it in your heart, absolutely cannot be impulsive! Chen Zhenbang's face involuntarily revealed a wry smile. Since becoming the mayor of Longtan City these few years, there really haven't been many people who dared to make him wait like this. To say it, this is truly the first time in recent years.
Chen Nan was now completely at a loss, she could only stand silently beside the car, quietly waiting for Li Yan to return. It was also strange to say that she and Li Yan had only met twice before, but towards Li Yan, she couldn't help but trust him from the bottom of her heart.
"How come it's taking so long to get better, this kid shouldn't have run away, Xiaonan, Dongjian, you guys follow me in and take a look!" People who were waiting always felt that time was passing too slowly, seeing the old men and women around them starting their morning exercises, finally, Chen Zhenbang couldn't wait any longer, hastily calling out to prepare to enter the park.
"Dad, they told us to wait here, isn't that not good?" Chen Nann said weakly, but she also knew that her father was always a man of his word, and once he had made up his mind, she was probably unable to stop him.
"No big deal, he wants to exercise, can't we exercise too?" As expected of a high-ranking official, Chen Zhenbang quickly found an excuse for himself and immediately led Dong Jian into the park.
"Dad..." Chen Nan shouted, seeing that she couldn't stop Chen Zhenbang, she bit her lip and quickly followed him into the park.
It was almost six or seven o'clock in the morning, and although there were not many people in the park, there were still a number of old men and women doing their morning exercises here, such as tai chi, Yangge dance, sword practice, fan dancing... It was quite lively with all sorts of strange and interesting things going on.
"It's still quite lively, I said the old man likes to stay in the old house and won't move. " Chen Zhenbang couldn't help but sigh, and then muttered: "Where did that little guy go?"
"Boss, where is he?" After all, being the country's top special forces operative and a legendary martial artist, Dong Jian's eyesight was naturally not comparable to that of an ordinary person like Chen Zhenbang. With just one glance, he had basically confirmed Li Yan's location.
Following the direction pointed by Dong Jian, the two people turned around a sparse flower forest and came to a more secluded open space. Suddenly, they saw Li Yan practicing dragon-shaped boxing.
At this time, Li Yan had already gone through the initial stage of practicing Long Xing Quan and familiarizing himself with the route. He began to comprehend the various changes in the air mechanism within the route, preparing for the liquefaction of true energy and laying the foundation. Therefore, his fist method was very slow, almost three points more than the average old man's Tai Chi fist.
Chen Zhenbang, who was practicing his internal martial arts, watched this scene unfold before his eyes. He couldn't help but shake his head and secretly wonder: What kind of training is this? Even Tai Chi doesn't move this slowly! Is he intentionally testing our patience and sincerity?
He didn't recognize the goods, but naturally there were people around who did. At this moment, Dong Jian only felt that a divine dragon seemed to be faintly visible in front of him, constantly extending its body. This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable, and his whole body's blood was boiling with restraint.
"This is terrible! If it continues like this, won't I go crazy?! Just as the boiling blood and energy were about to wildly surge inside his body, Dong Jian couldn't help but be shocked and pale. However, at this moment, suddenly, everything disappeared without a trace in an instant. His internal energy became calm and peaceful, not only was there no sign of going crazy, but instead, his inner strength had actually increased by several degrees, as if it wanted to break through and reach the realm of transformation."
It suddenly dawned on him, and Li Yan didn't know when he had stopped practicing his fist, and calmly said: "Alright, I've finished my exercise, let's go now..."
