Chapter 1245: Seeing Chu Muyun Again

Familiar words, familiar attire, familiar figure.

This reunion after more than half a year made Chen Ling feel as if he had returned to the Aurora Realm, remembering the scene of his first meeting with Chu Muyun... He felt a bit emotional.

"I thought about how it would be great if you were in the South Sea Realm."

Chen Ling paused for a moment. "But after thinking about it carefully, with so many realms, the probability of you being in the South Sea Realm wasn't high... So I didn't really hold out much hope."

"It is indeed a coincidence," Chu Muyun nodded slightly. "I received a mission from above to monitor the movements of the Paper Kite Relief Association in the South Sea Realm, which is why I'm staying here... If you had come a few days later, I might not have been here."

The Paper Kite Relief Association was an organization spontaneously established by the Medical God Path practitioners of the South Sea Realm. Like the Pu family, they were one of the two most important organizations in the South Sea Realm. However, the difference between them and the Pu family was that they weren't as deeply tied to politics, and most of their members were involved in the organization with a mindset similar to doing charity.

When Chen Ling participated in the Heaven-Reaching Star Position in the Tian-Shu Realm, the contemporary leader of the Medical God Path and president of the Paper Kite Relief Association had participated. That vast domain that could lock onto a near-death state was the other party's ability.

"Let's talk about old times later," Chu Muyun looked into the room. "You shouldn't be the one needing detoxification, right? Where is the patient?"

"Follow me."

Chen Ling signaled for Chu Muyun to enter the room, locked the door behind him, and walked straight to the bed.

Chu Muyun saw the unconscious girl lying on the bed, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes:

"Someone from the Fusion Faction?"

"Yes."

"No wonder you could only ask the Twilight Society for help... But isn't that Teacher Ye of the Fusion Faction also able to treat Fusionists? Why did you have to bring her to the South Sea Realm yourself?"

"The Fusion Faction had an accident; it's a long story."

"Hmm, let's talk about it later."

"Can you cure her?"

"If it were in the past, it would indeed be very difficult to cure..." Chu Muyun took off his scarf, opened his black briefcase, and calmly held a small, ferocious-looking hammer in his hand.

"But in the Twilight Society, you aren't the only one making progress."

A blood-colored divine path phantom appeared behind Chu Muyun. A powerful aura swept out, but it seemed to be shrouded in some kind of blurry veil, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Even Chen Ling couldn't tell for a moment what rank he was.

Is it a special ability of the [Blood Butcher] path?

Although Chen Ling couldn't perceive it clearly, there was no doubt that the Chu Muyun of today was vastly different from when he first met him. Having such a powerful "doctor" in the Twilight Society undoubtedly brought a strong sense of security to the other members, and Chen Ling was no exception.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Chen Ling's heart was completely put at ease.

"Hmm, you should go out for a stroll first. The process of my treatment... might not be very aesthetically pleasing."

Chen Ling glanced at the ferocious-looking hammer, and his expression became a bit strange. He walked to the door without hesitation, then, as if remembering something, waved at Xiao Bai in the corner:

"Xiao Bai, let's go out."

In the corner of the room, a pitch-black youth stood up obediently,

"Yes, King!"

“？”

Chu Muyun looked in shock at the youth who blended perfectly into the darkness. Before Chen Ling spoke, he hadn't noticed there was someone there at all!

Are you also one of the Integrationists...

With Chu Muyun’s current rank, he hadn’t even noticed Xiao Bai’s presence for a moment. These kids from the Integrationist faction were truly as eerie as the rumors suggested.

As Chen Ling and Xiao Bai left the room, Chu Muyun’s gaze returned to the unconscious Xiao Tao. The dim sunset sank completely into the night, and in the deep darkness, he gripped a menacing little hammer and walked slowly toward Xiao Tao...

……

"Big Brother, was that person just now your friend?"

At the entrance of the hotel, Chen Ling sat casually on the steps. The bright streetlamp cast his shadow onto the steps as well, looking like a small black silhouette overlapping with Chen Ling’s own.

"Yeah."

"He seems very powerful... but... why does he need a hammer to save someone?"

"Don't ask. That’s his unique specialty."

"Oh..."

Xiao Bai obediently shut his mouth and didn't say another word.

Time ticked by, and about ten minutes later, a familiar figure walked out of the hotel.

"It's done," Chu Muyun said calmly.

"So fast?"

"Neutralizing the poison is simple; it was mostly cleaning up the scene that took some effort..."

Chen Ling and the others went back upstairs. By now, Xiao Tao’s breathing had stabilized, and there wasn't a trace of poison left on her body. Her skin was smooth and had a healthy flush; she was sprawled out on the bed in a "star" shape, even snoring.

The sheets beneath her were still clean and tidy, but Chen Ling suddenly noticed a few corners of the room where splatters of blood still remained...

For some reason, at that moment, Chen Ling suddenly imagined the figure in the wool coat, holding water and a towel, frantically cleaning up the "bloody scene"—a scene that was strangely, inexplicably comical.

Chen Ling: ...

Never mind. Whatever the process was, as long as Xiao Tao was out of danger, that was all that mattered.

"Big Brother!! Xiao Tao is really better!!" Xiao Bai walked to the bedside, touched Xiao Tao’s forehead, and exclaimed in surprise after finding she was no longer feverish.

"Yeah," Chen Ling nodded slightly. "Xiao Bai, you stay here and look after her. We’re going out for a bit."

"Yes!"

With Xiao Tao’s danger averted, Chen Ling finally relaxed enough to properly catch up on the recent situation with Chu Muyun.

The two walked swaggeringly downstairs and sat down in a nearly empty café across the street. Before Chu Muyun could even take out his money, Chen Ling pulled out a large-denomination banknote and booked the entire café.

Chen Ling had plenty of money; it was just that for the past half-year in the Integrationist faction, there hadn't been anywhere to spend it.

Chu Muyun sipped his coffee and asked unhurriedly:

"How does it feel to have stayed with the Integrationists for so long?"

"Not bad," Chen Ling answered truthfully. "It’s hard to imagine that in this era, such a pure place still exists."

"Don't plan on returning to the Twilight Society?"

Chen Ling’s hand holding the coffee paused slightly.

"...I don't know," Chen Ling said after a moment of silence. "To be honest, I’m still not sure what the Twilight Society’s attitude toward me really is."

"Did you announce your resignation from the Twilight Society in public?"

"No."

"Did the Red King say he was expelling you from the Twilight Society?"

"...No, he didn't either."

"Then that settles it."

Chu Muyun said faintly, "Whatever happened between you and the Red King is a matter between master and apprentice. Since you haven't been formally expelled from the Twilight Society, you are still our Heart of Hearts 6...

During the time you haven't been at the Twilight Society, some guys have missed you quite a bit."
