Three hours later, Wu Miao walked out of the ergency room with a grave expression. Seeing Wu Jin waiting at the door, he took off his mask and gave Wu Jin a look. The two of them walked to the window at the end of the corridor and stopped. Facing Wu Jin's questioning gaze, Wu Miao said, "The situation is a bit complicated. Lan Xue's external injuries are not severe, but the internal injuries are quite serious. Coupled with a blow to her vital energy, she'll need a month of recuperation. As for Ghost, the situation is even more complex—internal injuries and cold air—you can't expect him to leave the hospital room for at least a month. The old director just told he has concocted a traditional dicine prescription that can expel the cold air from his body."
"The old director is a master, which is good, but the cold air? Is it serious?" Wu Jin asked in surprise.
"The cold air has entered the body, injuring the heart and lungs. If it isn't eradicated, it will lead to various ailnts, and he'll never be able to go back to the battlefield," Wu Miao said seriously, in terms that Wu Jin could understand.
Wu Jin didn't quite understand these things, but he grasped the consequences. His expression turned solemn, and he instructed, "Eradicate that cold air by any ans necessary. This was the command given by the chief when he ca by just now. You'll be stationed here during this period. If there is anything you need, just let know and I'll arrange it imdiately."
"Alright, nothing for now. Both of them have already woken up. I advise against questioning them for the mont; let them rest for a day first. They'll be fine after they wake up from sleep. There are others still waiting for , I have to go," Wu Miao instructed seriously and hurried towards another ward.
Upon hearing that there was no danger to their lives, Wu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and entered a ward where Shadow was lying on a drip. Although he wasn't injured, the trip to the prival forest required replenishing various necessary nutrients for the body, and the drip was one of the best ways to supplent. There were others in the ward, all mbers of Shadow's team. They all stood up to salute and greet Wu Jin when they saw him.
After a few pleasantries, Wu Jin looked at Shadow and said, "Post soone at the door, no eavesdropping allowed."
Shadow gave a look to a team mber, who understood and went outside, closing the door. Shadow pretended to be dissatisfied and looked at Wu Jin, saying, "Boss, is there another mission? Can't you let have so peace for two days? I'm still a patient, you know?"
"Enough with the nonsense, let's talk business," Wu Jin knew Shadow's temperant and scolded smilingly.
Once Shadow and the others heard it was serious business, they put away their playful attitudes and beca serious. Wu Jin continued, "You all will be staying here this month, with only one mission—to protect all the wounded here. Ghost and the others have stirred such a commotion; countries will surely send people to assassinate them. Their safety is entrusted to your team. Are there any problems? Speak up quickly if there are."
"No problems." As a soldier, Shadow was delighted to accept the mission at the sound of battle.
"Good, no problems then. The guards here will cooperate with you. I'll brief them later. You might as well adjust your body's condition here. After a month, you'll head to Snow Bear's stronghold on a mission personally assigned by the chief. During this ti, gather information and make a plan. Speak up if you need anything," Wu Jin continued.
"Yes." Upon hearing about such a significant mission, Shadow gladly accepted. Protecting Luo Zheng and the others was almost no pressure for Shadow, but confronting Snow Bear's stronghold was different. He imdiately got spirited and exchanged aningful looks with his comrades, making everyone smile.
Seeing the good spirits among the group, Wu Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and instructed, "The protection mission must be conducted secretly, and don't underestimate the enemy. Contact imdiately if anything cos up." Saying that, he got up and walked outside.
…
Japan, a room in Fushan's underground secret military base.
Over a dozen people wearing kimonos sat kneeling in a circle. In the middle lay a corpse of soone in their forties, covered with a white cloth embroidered with a blooming chrysanthemum. The deceased had one eye pierced and a ferocious expression, obviously very angry before death. There were long sword marks on the neck, the handiwork of Shadow who took down Master Liu Yun.
A middle-aged man said calmly, "Master Liu Yun was the symbol, the pride, of our Chrysanthemum Group. Now, he has tragically perished in a foreign land, sacrificing his precious life for the country. Fortunately, the soldiers who evacuated returned to the scene after the battle and brought back the master's remains. Otherwise, we wouldn't even have the chance to say goodbye to him."
"The Chrysanthemum Group is the highest organization of our ninjas, a sacred and inviolable organization. Now that our symbol has been attacked, this feud must be avenged. Mr. Shijing, please tell us how Master Liu Yun died and who killed him?" a middle-aged man said coldly.
The man didn't speak imdiately but looked silently at Liu Yun's body. The room fell into silence, the child-arm thick candles illuminating the area. The room was otherwise empty, with pristine white paper adorning the walls, appearing high-end, with blooming chrysanthemums of various poses and unique styles painted on them.
The entire room exuded a simplistic, natural ambiance, instilling a sense of calm. After a while, the man who spoke first continued, "The killer of Master Liu Yun has been thoroughly investigated. He is an old adversary of our ninjas and the Shijing family, soone I, Shijing Kong, have sworn to kill all my life. As a mber of the Shijing family, I won't forget; as the new head of the Death God Organization, I won't forget; as the deputy head of the Ninja Chrysanthemum Group, I won't forget. With three feuds united, I need your support. Please assist ."
"Deputy Head, please give the order. Since the killer is an enemy of the Shijing family, an enemy of the Death God Organization, and an enemy of our Chrysanthemum Group, I, for one, will not shirk responsibility and am willing to obey the orders of the organization to carry out this mission. Please grant it, Deputy Head," said a middle-aged man coldly, a chill of killing intent emanating from him, and a thick fighting spirit flickered in his eyes.
"Shijing Ye, you are a mber of the Shijing family, a leader among the younger generation of the Chrysanthemum Group, and a direct disciple of Master Liu Yun, as well as a sword skill instructor in our Death God Organization. In every respect, you are qualified and responsible to carry out this mission. I will deploy more elites to assist you in action. I hope you succeed," Shijing Kong said, delighted at the voluntary request from Shijing Ye.
"I will not betray the trust of Deputy Head," Shijing Ye said confidently.
"Does anyone else have any opinions?" Shijing Kong asked coldly, looking at everyone. Seeing them all silent, he continued, "According to what we know, the killer is recuperating in a coastal city of Huaxia Country. Our intelligence personnel are already gathering relevant information, so please coordinate extensively and vigorously, I implore you."
"Rest assured, I will inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the military, and intelligence agencies to assist you at any cost in eliminating this pressing threat to our enemy country," an elder said calmly, yet with a ruler's aura of decisive power.
