Chapter 375: 375
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 . ” Wang 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 Wang Yao .
What?
Chen Ying was astonished .
The raindrops were blocked by Wang Yao’s Qi . They couldn’t reach Wang Yao’s clothes, which stayed dry .
“You can wait for me in the car,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay . ” Chen Ying almost said it mechanically .
“Stay in the car . You don’t want to get wet,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay,” said Chen Ying .
After Chen Ying had settled in the car, Wang 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 Wang Yao . He just hopped over the wall .
Chen Ying, who was sitting inside the car at this point, looked at Wang 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 Wang Yao could hear was the howling wind .
Wang 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 Wang 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 . Wang Yao was like a huge magnet, attracting the rain around him . Then the rain started to swirl, like a tiny tornado . Wang 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 astonishing scene .
Wang 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 .
Wang 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 space formed in front of Wang 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 .
Wang 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 Wang 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 Wang Yao .
“I’m okay,” said Chen Ying .
Wang 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 Wang Yao softly .
“Let’s go, I don’t want you to catch a cold,” said Wang Yao with a smile .
“Okay,” said Chen Ying .
“What’s wrong?” asked Wang 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 Wang Yao .
“Yeah, beyond my imagination,” said Chen Ying .
“Haha,” laughed Wang 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 Wang Yao .
“Don’t worry . My lips are sealed,” said Chen Ying .
Wang 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 .
Wang 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 Wang Yao . He noticed it was nearly 8:30 pm .
“Okay,” said Chen Ying .
“What would you like to eat?” asked Wang Yao .
“I’m happy with anything,” said Chen Ying .
“Just pick a nice restaurant,” said Wang Yao .
Chen Ying stopped outside a restaurant, which was a nice and clean one . It had passed 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 Wang Yao with a smile . He could see that Chen Ying was still in shock .
“Was it Taoism?” asked Chen Ying .
“Taoism?” said Wang 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 Wang 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 Wang Yao with surprise . “To be honest, I’ve never thought about it .
Chen Ying smiles .
“You wanna learn?” asked Wang 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 Wang Yao did on the Great Wall would like to learn from him .
“Let me think about it,” said Wang 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 Wang Yao .
“Yes . Let me take a look at your room first,” said Chen Ying .
They both went into the room where Wang Yao stayed, but didn’t find anything out of the ordinary .
Wang 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 . Wang 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 Wang Yao certainly .
“Really?’ said Chen Ying .
She didn’t detect anything wrong . However, Wang Yao smelled something didn’t belong to him or Chen Ying .
“The person is a professional,” said Wang Yao .
“I will tell Ms . Song about it,” said Chen Ying .
“Okay,” said Wang Yao .
Wang 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 Wang 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 Wang 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 Wang 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 Wang 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 Wang Yao’s judgement completely .
“Does Dr . Wang 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 . Wang 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 Wang Yao to them, but she turned all of them down .
