Chapter 375: Holding Wind and Rain in Hands

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

By the time they had arrived at the Great Wall, it was already dark outside. Because of the time and weather, the shops nearby had all closed. What was worse was that the rain didn’t stop.

“Shall we…” said Chen Ying.

“I’m fine.” w.a.n.g Yao got out of the car.

The moment he stepped out of the car, he suddenly thought about something.

He released his Qi.

Suddenly, his body was surrounded by his Qi.

It formed into an invisible wall around him. The raindrops bounced harmlessly off of this barrier when they got to w.a.n.g Yao.

What?

Chen Ying was astonished.

The raindrops were blocked by w.a.n.g Yao’s Qi. They couldn’t reach w.a.n.g Yao’s clothes, which stayed dry.

“You can wait for me in the car,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Okay.” Chen Ying almost said it mechanically.

“Stay in the car. You don’t want to get wet,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Okay,” said Chen Ying.

After Chen Ying had settled in the car, w.a.n.g Yao walked towards the Great Wall.

No one would come to the Great Wall this time. It was late. The ticket sale office had closed. However, nothing could stop w.a.n.g Yao. He just hopped over the wall.

Chen Ying, who was sitting inside the car at this point, looked at w.a.n.g Yao’s back as he disappeared on the Great Wall. This man gave her too many surprises. She thought she would stop being surprised, since she thought she had gotten used to his unusual actions, but she was still astonished this time. After all, the control of Qi that he demonstrated was only described in the novels and movies. She didn’t expect that she would ever witness someone controlling his Qi so well.

Now she had gotten one thousand questions in her head.

How well exactly can he control his Qi?

The rain had just wet the ground. There was no one on the Great Wall, no visitor, no maintenance personnel. All that w.a.n.g Yao could hear was the howling wind.

w.a.n.g Yao walked to the top of the Great Wall. He could see really far from there.

He stood alone in the wind and rain.

He slowly released his Qi to blend himself into this world.

He felt the rain and the wind around him, which was like the breath of the world.

His Qi was like strings permeating into the air. It mingled with the wind and the rain. To be precise, it communicated with the rain and the wind. The process was neither too fast nor too slow.

Then w.a.n.g Yao felt more comfortable standing in the rain, as if he was able to control the rain and the wind to change them.

Come here!

He wiggled his hand to summon the rain, which started to move towards him. It looked amazing from distance. w.a.n.g Yao was like a huge magnet, attracting the rain around him. Then the rain started to swirl, like a tiny tornado. w.a.n.g Yao stood in the center of the tornado.

Fortunately, it was dark and quiet, no one was around him.

No, there was actually someone!

What?! Chen Ying, who had put a coat on and come down from the hill, happened to see this astonis.h.i.+ng scene.

w.a.n.g Yao was manipulating the rain and the wind while standing on the top of the Great Wall.

Right, he was manipulating the rain and the wind.

How could this be possible?!

Chen Ying stook there and lost in thoughts. She just allowed the rain drops to hit her face.

w.a.n.g Yao stood on the top of the Great Wall in the rain. He moved slowly. The rain moved with his body. He felt that his control to the rain and the winder became better and stronger. The rain and the wind were like his friends or his playmates. They were a different form of existence of his Qi.

Open it!

His hands pushed forward. The rain was pushed away by an invisible force. A hollow s.p.a.ce formed in front of w.a.n.g Yao.

Collect it!

He put his hands together to hold the rain, which became a ball of water.

Go! He pushed forward with his hands again. The ball of water was pushed away into the air. Then it broke like a balloon. The water bounced everywhere.

It was still raining.

w.a.n.g Yao stopped releasing his Qi.

Chen Ying went up to the top of the Great Wall.

“Hey, I’ve told you to wait for me in the car,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“I know. But I wanted to see what you were doing,” said Chen Ying, who had recovered from her deep thinking.

“Your clothes are wet,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“I’m okay,” said Chen Ying.

w.a.n.g Yao stood in the rain for few more moments, as if he wanted to feel a bit more of the rain and the wind.

“Nice, very good,” said w.a.n.g Yao softly.

“Let’s go, I don’t want you to catch a cold,” said w.a.n.g Yao with a smile.

“Okay,” said Chen Ying.

“What’s wrong?” asked w.a.n.g Yao with a smile as he could tell that Chen Ying was a bit lost.

“Nothing, I was just astonished,” said Chen Ying after hesitating for a moment.

“So you saw it,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Yeah, beyond my imagination,” said Chen Ying.

“Haha,” laughed w.a.n.g Yao.

“What were you doing up there?” asked Chen Ying.

“Well, I don’t know how to describe it, but could you just keep it to yourself?” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Don’t worry. My lips are sealed,” said Chen Ying.

w.a.n.g Yao turned his head around to have another look at the Great Wall as they were walking towards the car.

It seemed that the Great Wall was his lucky place.

He needed to get certain things by chance.

w.a.n.g Yao said no more about what he did on the Great Wall, neither did Chen Ying ask about it.

“Are you hungry? I’ll buy you dinner,” said w.a.n.g Yao. He noticed it was nearly 8:30 pm.

“Okay,” said Chen Ying.

“What would you like to eat?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“I’m happy with anything,” said Chen Ying.

“Just pick a nice restaurant,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

Chen Ying stopped outside a restaurant, which was a nice and clean one. It had pa.s.sed the peak hours so there were not many people in the restaurant. The waitress served the dishes very fast.

“You know you can ask me anything,” said w.a.n.g Yao with a smile. He could see that Chen Ying was still in shock.

“Was it Taoism?” asked Chen Ying.

“Taoism?” said w.a.n.g Yao after thinking for a moment. “I suppose so.”

The essence of Taoism was to link the earth to the sky and move the clouds and the rain. It was extremely fascinating.

What w.a.n.g Yao did on the Great Wall was link the earth to the sky and move the wind and the rain.

“Would you like to have a student?” asked Chen Ying.

“What?” said w.a.n.g Yao with surprise. “To be honest, I’ve never thought about it.

Chen Ying smiles.

“You wanna learn?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“To be honest, most people, as long as they are not stupid, would like to learn.” Chen Ying was telling the truth. Anyone who witnessed what w.a.n.g Yao did on the Great Wall would like to learn from him.

“Let me think about it,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

They went back to the cottage after dinner.

“Someone has been here.” An observant Chen Ying found something different in the cottage. She was sure that someone had been here.

“Haven’t you locked the door?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“Yes. Let me take a look at your room first,” said Chen Ying.

They both went into the room where w.a.n.g Yao stayed, but didn’t find anything out of the ordinary.

w.a.n.g Yao just brought some clothes with him. All the precious herbs and scriptures were kept in the cabinet of the system. Nothing valuable was in his room. w.a.n.g Yao was very cautious. He didn’t want his stuff to be touched or stolen.

“Looks like no one came here,” said Chen Ying.

“No, someone has been here,” said w.a.n.g Yao certainly.

“Really?’ said Chen Ying.

She didn’t detect anything wrong. However, w.a.n.g Yao smelled something didn’t belong to him or Chen Ying.

“The person is a professional,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“I will tell Ms. Song about it,” said Chen Ying.

“Okay,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

w.a.n.g Yao actually had predicted something like this could happen. Fortunately, nothing like this had happened during his last two visits. Luckily, nothing was stolen.

“Who is it?” murmured w.a.n.g Yao.

Inside a club in Beijing, there were three people.

“I didn’t find anything,” said one of them.

“Right, we didn’t find anything other than some clothes,” said another man.

“How could it be possible?” said the third person.

“Why not?” said one of the three people.

“He came here to treat Su Xiaoxue. He should take acupuncture needles and herbs with him,” said another man.

“That’s right!” said the third person.

“No, we found nothing. He only took one bottle of decoction when he went to Su Xiaoxue’s house. That was it,” said one of the men.

“Well, so strange. What does he use to treat Su Xiaoxue?” said another person.

Inside a dark room of the club, three men were talking. One of them was smoking, one was drinking tea, and the third one was looking through the window.

“I hope the police will not find what we’ve done,” said the person smoking a cigarette.

“Don’t worry about it. It will never happen,” said the person drinking tea.

“Su Xiaoxue’s family is very powerful. Actually, they are getting more and more powerful. We would be in big trouble if they found out what we have done,” said the person looking through the window.

“They won’t find out. The person I sent is professional,” said the man smoking a cigarette.

“Good,” said the man looking through the window.

The next morning, Chen Ying reported to Song Ruiping about the break-in.

“What? There was a break-in?’ Song Ruiping was shocked. The cottage was located at the center of Beijing, and it belong to Su Xiaoxue’ family. She would never expect a break-in to happen in one of their properties. It seemed that the thief went for w.a.n.g Yao.

Song Ruiping walked back and forth in the room. She couldn’t stop thinking about it. So she called Chen Ying to ask her to come over.

“Ms. Song just rang me. She wants to to go over. I presume she wants to ask me about what happened last night,” said Chen Ying.

“Off you go then,” said w.a.n.g Yao with a smile.

“Okay. If you don’t mind me asking, do you have any enemies in Beijing?” asked Chen Ying before she left.

“Well, I don’t think so,” said w.a.n.g Yao after thinking for a moment.

He didn’t have dealings with many people when he was in Beijing. He couldn’t recall that he had ever had any confrontation with anyone.

“I see,” said Chen Ying.

She went to Su Xiaoxue’s house as fast as she could.

“Morning, Ma’am,” said Chen Ying.

“Was there a break-in in the cottage?” asked Song Ruiping.

“Yes,” said Chen Ying.

“Are you sure?” asked Song Ruiping.

“Yes.” Actually, she wasn’t sure. However, she trusted w.a.n.g Yao’s judgement completely.

“Does Dr. w.a.n.g have any enemies in Beijing?” asked Song Ruiping.

“I don’t think so, as far as I know. Even if he had an enemy, the cottage is not some place people could break in easily,” said Chen Ying.

“Strange!” said Song Ruiping.

“Ma’am, maybe someone wanted to steal the herbs,” said Chen Ying.

“Herbs?” Song Ruiping’s eyes lightened up.

“Yes. What do you think are the most valuable things Dr. w.a.n.g possess? It would be his medical skills and the wonderful herbs he brought here,” said Chen Ying.

Song Ruiping knew that her daughter’s illness was not really a secret. Many people holding high positions in Beijing knew about it. Of course they also knew that Su Xiaoxue was getting better rapidly. She had had a few queries already about which doctor Su Xiaoxue had been seeing. Those people wanted her to introduce w.a.n.g Yao to them, but she turned all of them down.
