I Have a Compass for Opportunity

Just now, the staff that Zhou Meng swung to block Liou Yuan’s Flying Sword was using this Secret Technique.

"I have Evil Eyes, there’s no need to use such a body-harming Magic."

"I’ll keep it to sell for a good price."

Liou Yuan singled out that Jade Scroll of Magic and placed it into his own Storage Bag.

After doing all this, Liou Yuan didn’t even glance at Zhou Meng’s headless corpse, and stepped out of the woods into the snow-covered landscape, muttering softly:

"Lucky me, not even half a month down the mountain and I’ve already captured a villain."

"Only Zhai Yuzhu from the Yanluo Sect is left, but no rush."

"I’ve got five and a half months of time I can arrange flexibly. This time I can finally go home along the way."

He was already within Qingyou Prefecture’s territory.

Yanhe City was less than a three-day journey from his current location.

Returning home was already part of Liou Yuan’s plan; he intended to visit his mother first, then make a trip to Qiwen Mountain.

Along the way, inquire about news of Zhai Yuzhu, achieving three goals in one go.

"Almost the third year since leaving Yanhe City, I wonder how my mother’s health is. Calculating time, Kong Yi should be coming of age, hehe."

Recalling the few people close to him when he first arrived in this world, Liou Yuan chuckled, not delaying further, and activated Treading Flowing Waves to speed towards Yanhe City.

Crash! The water of Yanhe City’s moat was still gushing outside the city.

Liou Yuan emerged from the mountains, entering the city gate leading inside.

Three years ago, the devastation caused by the disaster-level Alien Star Evil had been repaired, and the Array in the moat water continued to protect this city as always.

The only change was that Virgo Peak, several miles outside the city, was destroyed along with the Star Evil by Liou Zhen.

This Yanhe City was missing a serene scenic spot.

Of course, these were no longer related to Liou Yuan, as Virgo Peak was merely a place absorbing stellar energy for him.

Having joined Five Extremes Mountain, Virgo Peak being gone was of no consequence.

Liou Yuan, in the sect for three years, had undergone noticeable changes in appearance.

Heavier prestige, sharper facial features compared to the slight youthfulness three years ago.

Unexpectedly, city guards still recognized him at a glance amidst the crowd, with two or three old acquaintances enthusiastically approaching him for conversation.

Liou Yuan responded cheerfully.

Then, with Canglan Sword on his back, he walked leisurely towards Xuanhu Clinic in the west of the city.

Calculating time, Bai Xin should certainly still be at Xuanhu Clinic, so Liou Yuan skipped visiting his home in the western part of the city, going directly to Xuanhu Clinic to find people.

Outside Xuanhu Clinic was still consistently packed with people coming for treatment.

Seeing this, Liou Yuan couldn’t help harboring a bellyful of resentment towards Mr. Kong.

"Damn it, indeed, in whichever era, running a clinic is a sure profitable business. Mr. Kong has no idea how much money he’s earned relying on my mother."

Xuanhu Clinic’s current reputation in Yanhe City was largely due to Bai Xin’s years of dedication and responsibility.

Liou Yuan was not polite to Mr. Kong and swaggered into the pharmacy under the gazes of patients.

Yet strangely, he didn’t see Bai Xin at her usual position within the hall.

An elderly man nearly seventy years old was the one examining patients.

Liou Yuan also knew the old man, a well-respected medical authority of the city’s west whom his mother often visited for medical discussions in her youth.

Additionally, scanning around, Liou Yuan didn’t see Kong Yi’s busy figure.

If not for hearing Mr. Kong shouting, urging workers behind to hurry with decoction, Liou Yuan almost believed the clinic had changed owners.

As Liou Yuan prepared to seek out Mr. Kong in the rear hall to inquire about his mother’s whereabouts,

the plump man already came out holding a big chubby boy.

The big chubby boy looked exactly like Mr. Kong carved from the same mold.

Seeing this, Liou Yuan raised his brows, vaguely guessing something.

Sure enough, following Mr. Kong was a beautiful middle-aged woman, quite intimate with Mr. Kong in her demeanor.

"Heh, I said why haven’t I seen Kong Yi," Liou Yuan sneered coldly, showing no expression on his face.

That was their Kong Family’s business, having nothing to do with Liou Yuan.

Thus, he waved at Mr. Kong from a distance, smiling insincerely, "Mr. Kong seems to be living quite comfortably. Where is my mother?"

At Liou Yuan’s sudden appearance, Mr. Kong’s plump face initially looked stunned, hurriedly handing the big chubby son to the woman, enthusiastically greeting Liou Yuan: "Mr. Liou has returned! Come, follow me inside for tea."

After speaking, he didn’t forget to instruct the woman: "Rou’Er, quickly prepare tea, an honored guest has arrived!"

Liou Yuan patiently followed Mr. Kong back to his study in the rear courtyard.

This plump man doesn’t read, the study was mainly used by his mother Bai Xin.

After Rou’Er finished preparing tea, Mr. Kong waved her away, then smiled, scrutinizing Liou Yuan’s current appearance, clicking his tongue in praise: "No doubt born of Bai Xin the doctor, such striking looks, becoming more heroic."

Earlier, in front of the woman, Liou Yuan couldn’t expose Mr. Kong, but now, with only the two of them present, he didn’t bother pretending, showing disdain in his gaze towards Mr. Kong.

"Mr. Kong, where is my mother?"

Mr. Kong seemed to have anticipated Liou Yuan’s attitude, not angry, smilingly said: "Naturally, she’s not at the clinic."
