Chapter 947: Chapter 564: Healing
"Why do you want to know about my work?" Liu Yun narrowed her eyes slightly, then stared intently at Liu Hun and asked.
Liu Hun guessed correctly, Liu Yun needed to live on well. No matter what level she ultimately reached, she just wanted to try her best.
"That is my question. You just need to answer me." Liu Hun looked at Liu Yun calmly and asked.
"Biological research!" Liu Yun gave Liu Hun a deep look before answering softly.
"Be more specific; research what?" Liu Hun pressed on.
"Researching human structure and gene reorganization." These things were already work secrets, but Liu Yun didn’t hesitate much and answered Liu Hun truthfully.
"Human structure and gene reorganization..." Hearing Liu Yun’s answer, Liu Hun furrowed his brow and couldn’t help but murmur softly.
Faced with Liu Hun’s current demeanor, Liu Yun had no idea what this guy really wanted to do.
"Wait... is your research about optimizing gene combinations and then forcibly embedding them into human bodies?" Liu Hun suddenly seemed to realize something, his face showing a bit of shock.
Once, the old man went out and returned severely injured. When Liu Hun asked about it, the old man merely said he encountered some genetic soldiers. These people had no thoughts, only following orders and a sense of combat and strong bodies.
At the time, Liu Hun didn’t pay much attention since it didn’t have much to do with them, but he never thought that Liu Yun’s work was related to such things.
"How do you know?" When Liu Yun heard Liu Hun’s words, an unexpected look appeared on her delicate face.
"It seems I was right; I didn’t expect this matter to become more and more complicated..." Liu Hun’s face was full of bitterness.
He initially thought it was just about this country, but now it seemed like this matter involved more than just a national security issue.
"Xiao Yun, I can tell you some things, but knowing them might put your life in danger at any time. You can decide for yourself." Liu Hun took a deep breath, his expression somewhat serious as he looked at Liu Yun in front of him.
"If that’s the case, then why should I choose to know?" Liu Yun’s words made Liu Hun pause for a moment.
"I also don’t want to see you in any danger, but you have to help me with this matter, otherwise in the future, it might not be just the genius Medicine King who dies." After a moment, Liu Hun reacted and spoke bitterly to Liu Yun in front of him.
There were some things he initially didn’t plan to tell Liu Yun, but now the matter had exceeded Liu Hun’s expectations. If Liu Yun helped with this, it might go much more smoothly for him next, and Liu Hun didn’t want to miss such an opportunity. Even knowing it was unfair to Liu Yun, he couldn’t care about that anymore.
As he just said, if Liu Yun doesn’t help, it won’t just be one or two people who die in the future.
Liu Hun is not entirely selfless nor someone who sacrifices himself for others, but since the old man was killed by them, Liu Hun must avenge it, regardless of who they are!
"How... how do you know?" At this moment, apart from disbelief, a pallor showed on Liu Yun’s delicate face.
Although she hadn’t been back in the country for long, through her investigation, she gradually sensed that this matter was somewhat unusual.
Moreover, it might be the doing of the higher-ups in the country, and she had never told anyone about this matter, even including her father.
"Because I am the Medicine King." Liu Hun looked at Liu Yun in front of him and said calmly.
"You... how is that possible..." Liu Yun was dazed for a long time before glaring at Liu Hun and gritting her teeth: "What exactly is your purpose, and even if you want to deceive me, please find a better reason. Don’t treat everyone like fools."
Facing Liu Yun’s somewhat angry gaze, Liu Hun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The time I treated your illness was three years ago in the summer. At that time, I was following the old man to a hospital to treat a patient, and I accidentally met you, so I used sixteen silver needles to cure you; shortly afterward, within less than a week’s time, I offended a local rich second-generation, and then got shot three times. When I was on the brink of death, you happened to encounter me, carried me back to that small room, and with trembling hands, helped me remove the bullets..."
Liu Hun told Liu Yun all the details of what they had gone through together back then.
"Impossible, impossible, you’re not him!" After listening to Liu Hun’s words, tears instantly streamed down Liu Yun’s cheeks.
In this world, there are probably only two people who know their affairs so clearly, but what Liu Hun just said was flawless, even down to some details that she almost forgot, Liu Hun still remembered them so clearly.
If Liu Hun wasn’t the person involved, Liu Yun wouldn’t have believed it, but clearly, the person in front of her was someone else, how could it be him?
"As for my situation, it’s a long story, but because of time, I can only briefly tell you. Back then, the old man and I were killed precisely because of his research on memory erasure, and now, numerous cultivators in the country have had their memories erased, becoming puppets; I didn’t want to tell you about this at first, thinking that leaving a beautiful memory in your heart would be happiness, but seeing the expressions of your uncle and others just now, I sensed they care a lot about you, so I asked you these questions." Liu Hun took a deep breath, sighing slightly.
Once this matter is told to Liu Yun, it means putting her in danger, yet some things Liu Hun couldn’t help but do.
"If you still don’t believe me, then just consider I didn’t say anything today." Liu Hun sighed softly upon seeing Liu Yun’s continued silence.
But just as Liu Hun finished speaking, Liu Yun suddenly rushed into Liu Hun’s embrace, holding him tightly, her face full of tears.
Looking at Liu Yun in his arms, the bitterness on Liu Hun’s face intensified.
"If it really is you, then why do you still have to take care of these things? Isn’t living well enough?" After a long silence, with tears nearly dried from her eyes, Liu Yun softly asked Liu Hun.
"Being a person in two lifetimes means I have to bear the responsibilities of both. In my previous life, the old man treated me like his own grandson, and I must avenge his murder." As he spoke of this, Liu Hun’s expression immediately became calm.
"But is it really worth it?" Liu Yun suddenly let go of Liu Hun, looking at him with teary eyes.
"There’s no such thing as worth or not worth in this world; it all depends on how you measure it yourself. Just like you, even if I am dead, you never gave up looking for the cause of my death; isn’t it the same reasoning? I’m selfish, unconcerned with others’ lives, but I care about the old man’s death, and your uncle was one of the culprits as well. As for the things you research, they’re probably the Genetic Soldiers that left several bullets in me earlier; they have no thoughts, only follow orders and fight without fear of death. In the past, I’d avoid them if I couldn’t offend them, but now, I can’t do that." Although Liu Hun’s voice was small and calm, Liu Yun could feel the stubbornness within it.
"I’m sorry..." Liu Yun only realized after hearing Liu Hun’s words that if it weren’t for her, perhaps Liu Hun wouldn’t have been injured back then.
"There’s no sorry or not sorry in this world, no one owes anyone anything, just as you were merely my patient back then; if you regret it now, I won’t say much." Liu Hun didn’t want to deceive Liu Yun.
Even though Liu Yun was Liu Dehai’s niece.
"I’ve known for a long time, but that’s your business; how I choose and act is mine. Since I, Liu Yun, have fallen in love with someone this lifetime, I’ll never back down." Liu Yun looked at Liu Hun with determined eyes.
Seeing Liu Yun in such a state, Liu Hun said helplessly, "I think you know some things about me too, I’ve let down several girls, and I don’t want to let you down as well."
"No one owes anything to anyone in this world, it’s just about willingness." At that moment, Liu Yun echoed Liu Hun’s earlier words to him.
Upon hearing Liu Yun’s words, Liu Hun shook his head, knowing that Liu Yun was utterly determined, he said nothing more.
"Consider today’s matter as if you know nothing. Once I cure your illness, you should return immediately. Being abroad is much safer than staying in the country." Liu Hun looked at Liu Yun with a complicated expression.
"What about you?" Liu Yun asked, concerned as she looked at Liu Hun.
"I naturally have things I need to do, and you don’t need to worry about me. After all, no one would suspect that I am the Medicine King, and the Medicine King is me; this is my only advantage. Someday, I’ll come find you, but until then, just follow their instructions and act accordingly, never make your own decisions; it’s not something you and I can control. Right now, I am too weak to bear the responsibility of protecting you." Liu Hun replied.
"I don’t need you to have any responsibility for me, because all of this is of my own free will." Liu Yun shook her head and said.
"I told you all this because I need you, but not now. If you truly meant what you said earlier, then you should cherish your life even more." Liu Hun looked earnestly at Liu Yun.
Facing Liu Hun’s words, a slight smile involuntarily appeared on Liu Yun’s exquisite face, she then looked at Liu Hun and asked, "Does this mean you care about me?"
Seeing Liu Yun’s look at this moment, Liu Hun took a deep breath and said, "If you can heed my words, then take it as my care for you."
"Having these words from you is already enough for me. I know I won’t live like a normal person, spending a lifetime with the one I love; but after waiting for so long, just having this one sentence is enough. Rest assured, I know my limits; I also hope you remember that no matter when, there’s always a girl waiting for you somewhere in this world. If you die again, perhaps that girl won’t remain in this world either." Liu Yun said seriously and stubbornly as she looked at Liu Hun.
