Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 492: Chapter 491, Return to Qingshan Village

Lin Yiren really hoped her husband could recover.

Even though she liked being with Xu Wendong, even though she loved this man,

she also loved her husband.

She had both brothers in her heart at the same time.

”Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I will definitely do my best to make my brother recover soon.” In the past, Xu Wendong couldn’t treat his cousin’s oligospermia.

But times had changed.

As a cultivator at the Third Level of Qi Refinement, he could completely refine elixirs to make his cousin a normal person.

And he knew of an elixir called the Creation Pill that, once consumed, could heal any severe internal or external injuries and more.

Not only that, it could even transform a person completely.

However,

refining this elixir required nine different herbs, each extremely rare.

But now,

Xu Wendong had no way out, so he could only use his connections to search for those nine herbs. The Geng Family quickly delivered some news.

They could only find three of the nine, and had no leads on the remaining six.

Helpless, Xu Wendong contacted Qian Duoduo, hoping to borrow the connections of the Qian Family to help him find the herbs. Although the Qian Family had extensive connections,

they could only find four of them.

So far,

two herbs were still missing for the Creation Pill to be refined.

”Maybe I can contact Su Xiaodie!” Xu Wendong thought of the Su Residence’s influence in Su Province, knowing they had a strong network and foundation.

He called Su Xiaodie to ask if she could find the remaining two herbs, but she said she could only find one.

With just three phone calls, eight herbs were found, and Xu Wendong was quite satisfied, despite still needing one more herb to refine the Creation Pill.

But he asked the three forces to continue searching, so as soon as it appeared in the market, he would surely hear about it and could purchase it at a high price.

---

Perhaps it was knowing his cousin had depression,

Xu Wendong felt a sense of irritation and restlessness.

He couldn’t calm his mind at all.

Everything he looked at seemed displeasing to him.

He disliked this feeling of his emotions almost getting out of control.

”Sister-in-law, I’m going to Qingshan Village.” Xu Wendong grabbed his car keys and headed out, wanting to clear his head by visiting Qingshan Village.

After all, it was where he used to work.

He liked the mountains and waters there.

And the people.

Driving his Mercedes pickup, Xu Wendong cruised down the highway, with soft and soothing music playing in the car, he relaxed a bit.

An hour later,

a winding road surrounded by a stunning scene of red maple forests appeared in view.

Fiery red maple leaves hung on the branches, and as a gentle breeze blew by, a few leaves fluttered to the ground.

Driving through an intoxicating maple-lined mountain road, a quiet little village came into Xu Wendong’s view.

The first thing that stood out was the brand-new village committee courtyard. Though the two-story building wasn’t large, it looked exquisite and grand.

At the entrance of the village committee, there was also a lot of fitness equipment, turning it into a community fitness center.

At that moment, several villagers were playing table tennis.

Seeing Xu Wendong return, many people eagerly greeted him, exchanging warm pleasantries, as his time here left a mark, and the villagers benefited from his generosity and remembered his kindness.

Some villagers even invited Xu Wendong to their homes for dinner, but he politely declined.

”Doctor Xu, are you here to see Secretary Su? She was transferred a few days ago,” a villager suddenly called out.

”No, I’m just back to have a look,” Xu Wendong replied, knowing Su Li had been reassigned to the provincial capital. After all, Qingshan Village had long shed its label as a poverty-stricken village, and she had proven herself, guaranteeing a fitting position upon her return.

After a brief chat, Xu Wendong, with his hands in his pockets and a Yuxi cigarette a villager gave him tucked behind his ear, walked to the east side of the village.

What met his eyes was a brand-new school.

At that moment, the classrooms resounded with the sound of students reading aloud.

The school wasn’t big,

but it had six large and bright classrooms, along with several teachers working there, and Xiao Ruyan had naturally become the principal.

Her workload had lightened significantly, as could be seen from her rosy complexion.

Of course,

this might be related to the Youth Preserving Pill refined by Xu Wendong.

She quietly sat at her desk, organizing the summary for this semester, completely unaware of Xu Wendong’s arrival.

Xu Wendong didn’t disturb her work, instead, he sat quietly on the sofa, appreciating this serene, intellectual, and gentle woman.

Perhaps she felt someone watching her, Xiao Ruyan adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose, then slowly looked up.

Upon seeing Xu Wendong,

she was first surprised, then smiled sweetly, ”When did you get back?”

Xu Wendong hadn’t told her where he would work before leaving.

But the last time Xu Wendong mailed her a Youth Preserving Pill, she saw the address and knew he was working in Lianyun County, Su Province.

The distance was several hundred kilometers from here.

Xu Wendong said, ”I just got back not long ago.”

”Since coming back is not easy, you should spend more time with your family,” Xiao Ruyan said, lowering her head again, continuing to organize the report.

She was inherently a quiet and gentle woman, not one to throw herself into Xu Wendong’s arms like other women might.

Xu Wendong said, ”Something happened, so I haven’t been in a good mood. I just wanted to come out and see someone I miss and take a breather.”

Xiao Ruyan looked up again, concerned, ”How are you feeling now?”

Xu Wendong smiled and said, ”An unpleasant mood also turned pleasant after seeing a beautiful person!”

”Smooth talker!” Xiao Ruyan blushed slightly, chiding him, though it was clear she enjoyed his sweet words.

Then she added, ”Wait for me a moment, when I get off work, we can go to the town for some lamb soup!”

Just then,

Xu Wendong’s phone rang, displaying Zhao Ranran’s number. He stepped outside to answer the call from the young widow.

”Wendong, I heard you returned to the village?” Zhao Ranran, having just learned of Xu Wendong’s return, couldn’t wait to call him.

As for the purpose of the call, it was evidently to seek warmth for her lonely heart from Xu Wendong.

”Yes, I’m in the village, but I’m busy tonight. I’ll visit you next time.” It pained Xu Wendong to refuse the young widow Zhao Ranran.

But, he was just one person!

He couldn’t possibly attend to both Xiao Ruyan and Zhao Ranran at the same time.

Unless he got them both into the same bed.

The idea was enticing.

But Xu Wendong knew deep down that even if Zhao Ranran could accept such a thing, Xiao Ruyan couldn’t. After all, their personalities were vastly different.

As soon as he ended the call with the young widow, Xiao Ruyan walked out of the office.

They chatted as they strolled over to the village committee, then drove a Mercedes-Benz G-Class pickup out of the village, heading to a town fifteen kilometers away.

At the lamb soup restaurant, Xiao Ruyan ordered five skewers of charcoal-grilled beef and lamb kidneys, as well as five skewers of grilled lamb whips.

Hearing this, Xu Wendong’s heart tightened.

Ordering such potent dishes, was she preparing for a fierce battle tonight?
