I Am Your Natural Enemy

The world is full of chaos and trivial matters, but this day doesn’t require Wen Yan to handle everything; there are plenty of big shots around.

Wen Yan returned to Virtue City intending to call Taoist Li Qixue of Wudang to express gratitude, but his call was answered by a disciple who said Taoist Li Qixue went out with the Sect Master to complete tasks.

The Three Mountains and Five Ridges, with position and power, naturally entail obligations. Besides the people who must be sent to do tasks in the Scorching Sun Department each year, they also request help from the Three Mountains and Five Ridges for matters the field agents of the Scorching Sun Department can’t resolve.

Of course, under good circumstances, it’s called inviting, but in reality, it’s a pre-agreed arrangement.

Among the disciples at Fuyu Mountain, those with real strength are few. Previously, even someone like Zhang Laoxi was considered a slightly talented disciple. The real tasks always relied on Qin Kun.

Based on the difficulty of tasks and priority, there is a merit system similar to points. Qin Kun is strong, and his merit alone outweighs that of many junior disciples.

Traditionally, Fuyu Mountain was at the bottom, which is one reason why some people suggested Fuyu Mountain shouldn’t count as part of the Three Mountains and Five Ridges, aiming to replace it.

But this year, it’s got nothing to do with Fuyu Mountain; Wen Yan is considered part of Fuyu Mountain as well, whatever Wen Yan does, apart from personal merit, the overall merit of the factions in the Three Mountains and Five Ridges is also calculated separately.

Wen Yan alone accomplished several tasks that equaled a year’s merit for a minor force outside the Three Mountains and Five Ridges.

Not just one world boss has been dealt with.

After resolving a matter, Wen Yan stayed home to rest, temporarily reducing daily cultivation time to nine hours.

After resting for two days, Wen Yan wanted to inquire about Zhang Qihui’s collaboration progress with the Scorching Sun Department, but upon asking Feng Yao, he realized he was too impatient.

Replicating a mock three-category domain can indeed be completed within a few intensive days, relying on sheer manpower. However, for other things, more development time is required.

Feng Yao advised Wen Yan to rest well, as he had been too busy these past months.

Suddenly having free time, Wen Yan felt a bit out of place.

But after lying down for four or five days, he didn’t feel like getting up.

Inertia is the strongest.

Lying down is indeed more comfortable than sitting.

Having nothing else to do daily, he browses through the group chat and checks how folks in the Nanwu local chat group are doing their tasks.

Upon entering, he saw people in the group bragging about the Tuoba Martial God.

However, the tasks they were discussing were done by Wen Yan, who’s shamelessly tempted to join in the boasting.

After typing it all out, he reconsiders; if his cover is blown later, it’d be quite embarrassing, so he decides to just watch the chat.

Every day, he checks out the little incidents in the group, which are quite bizarre and strange, reading them is quite interesting.

Today, he discovered a case at the edge of East Nanwu County.

Two ghosts were fighting, one ghost was from Nanwu County, and the other was from Haidong Prefecture.

The reason for their fight reportedly stems from a grudge several years ago.

Both ghosts were transformed from deceased elders who couldn’t stand each other while alive, later fought over a doctor from a medical hall.

Initially, there was a doctor who opened a medical hall in the east part of Nanwu County. The Nanwu County ghost had a sudden heart attack before passing and requested help from the hall’s doctor, who stabilized his condition with needles.

Later, he was sent to the hospital where doctors advised bed rest and refraining from all basic activities; the Nanwu ghost couldn’t bear lying in bed for three days and, feeling fine, got up to use the toilet.

And then there were no more, after emergency treatment, he persevered for three days and passed away.

The family couldn’t accept it, feeling his spirits were fine until he suddenly passed, which stirred some chaos.

It somehow ended up involving the doctor’s medical hall.

The doctor, overwhelmed, moved his medical hall from East Nanwu County to Haidong Prefecture.

The Haidong ghost boasted about being an old customer of the doctor while alive, claiming credit for the doctor’s relocation after it happened.

Later, the Haidong ghost passed and met the Nanwu ghost, so they continued their quarrel.

One felt the other stole the doctor, while the other accused of being falsely accusing, fighting from life to death.

This time, due to the second phase of Spiritual Qi Resurgence benefiting ghosts, these two ghosts grew stronger and fought fiercely, causing eerie winds near the resident area, alarming the Scorching Sun Department.

Still following conduct as in life, the ghosts assumed the Scorching Sun Department personnel were those uncle types with their photos posted around the resident area, should be given way; yet they brazenly attacked the department’s field agents...

Then, someone from the local Nanwu chat group dispatched a martial artist, and that was that.

As one of the incident’s origins, the medical hall naturally warranted some investigation.

It was found that the medical hall seemed to be quite an old establishment, passed down for three generations, nearly eighty to ninety years old, with three generations of single descendants practicing medicine.

The medical hall has since relocated again, this time moving to Virtue City.

Wen Yan, noticing this third-generation descendant arrived in Virtue City, became interested.

He reviewed previous data; within the hospital records, everything was clear, with various statistics marked on the medical charts.
