You call this a healer?

The sun had just risen above the eastern horizon, and the sky was still somewhat bluish-gray.

Zhou Ming carried his luggage and rushed from home to school. At this moment, his mind was still filled with the words of advice from his grandmother and mother last night and the tearful reluctance to part.

In the morning, he left again without saying goodbye, only keeping half of the money he had swindled from A Liang and Li Lan, about 50 yuan, enough for them to pay off their loans.

There's still 50 left, which should be enough for ten months of expenses!

Ahead is the gate of Baijiang College. From a distance, you can see a van painted with the emblem of the State Council, "Blue and White Bird," parked quietly by the roadside!

Vice Principals Zhang and Wang, along with teachers Qin Moyu, Song Wugong, Liu Qiqi, and others, stood to the side, expressionless.

Upon arriving at the car, Zhou Ming greeted everyone first: "Good morning, vice principals and teachers!"

The group of people finally looked at him, their faces showing emotion. Qin Moyu shoved a card into their hands: "There's 20 in there. Spend it over there."

Song Wugong forced a smile across his square face and handed over a bag: "Inside is 200,000 yuan in cash that several of us teachers pooled together. Don't think it's too little; you lost it all in the previous bets. What happened before was our fault, so we apologize!"

Zhou Ming smiled and didn't accept any of them: "I appreciate the sentiment, but let's not get sentimental. I'll be back soon."

"Clang clang..."

At this moment, the escort driver tapped on the vehicle with an iron bar to urge them on.

Zhou Ming had no choice but to jump into the carriage.

"Click..."

The driver locked the doors, and the car slowly started moving.

Vice Principals Zhang and Wang suddenly stepped to the iron railing of the carriage and quickly gave an instruction:

"The mines have probably been taken care of. Also, be careful of spies from within the city!"

"clear!"

Zhou Ming nodded.

Only after the group of principals and teachers in front of the school gate had gradually disappeared from sight did he turn around, and then...

Then I saw familiar faces:

Ling Shuang, Ye Chen, Bai Muwan, Lin Ya, and Zhong Xiuhe are three roommates.

He organized a string of words, but when it came to his lips, it inexplicably turned into two words: "What a coincidence!"

"yes!"

Ye Chen and his group laughed somewhat awkwardly.

Zhou Ming and Ling Shuang exchanged a glance, looked outside, and suddenly realized that the route wasn't quite right: "To get to the mines in the three northern towns, do we need to go through the inner city?"

Ling Shuang said coldly, "No need. I don't know what your intentions are!"

Ye Chen swore for the first time: "It's just a damn little trick, a way of showing we're really being punished, and letting those people see what happens!"

Ma Kun narrowed his eyes: "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny? Let's rebel after we get to the mines north of the city, shall we?"

"?"

The moment the car entered the inner city gate, the window of a tall building not far away was pushed open.

Jin Wusheng, the fifth steward of the Jin family, one of the seven top families, stood with his hands behind his back, his slicked-back hair neatly combed.

Behind him stood seven people, and a golden three-headed python coiled on the roof beam, emitting a menacing crackling current.

As the car drove past, Jin Wusheng asked expressionlessly, "At the Yuan Refining Mine in the Three Towns of Qianyu Mountain, who's home?"

An old man behind him replied, "Miss Jin Wuzhu of the fourth branch castrated three suitors three years ago. The Sima family interfered, resulting in her being sentenced to five years of hard labor without bail!"

Jin Wusheng snapped his fingers: "Let Wuzhu make his move first, then the rest of you can go one by one!"

The old man nodded: "Yes!"

"Fifth Uncle!" A young man behind him asked, not quite understanding. "Why? Just because Jin Wuzhu was crippled by Zhou Ming and then had his limbs reattached? I watched the replay of Black Wind Mountain and think that Zhou Ming is a very outstanding and interesting kid. We could totally try to get him to be a tool for our family!"

The base is only so big, and there aren't many outstanding talents. Besides, he's capable of surgery, while Uncle Thirteen and the others are still disabled!

Jin Wusheng chuckled: "Even if my Jin family doesn't take action, the other seven major families and dozens of small and medium-sized families will send people to help!"

The reason is simple: everyone is unwilling to swallow this insult. He has desecrated the dignity of all the order-keeper families in the city, and now everyone wants to see which family will subdue him first and wipe away the shame of Black Wind Mountain.

Actually, this matter is no longer about Zhou Ming himself, but rather a contest of power and resources among the various families!

The young man frowned: "This is so childish? Isn't this insane?"

Jin Wusheng said, "This world is essentially a makeshift operation! Everyone's been gambling! You need to understand that the old city lord's health is deteriorating day by day. Once he's gone, and the Federation headquarters is already overwhelmed by the three royal families' supernatural powers, it's hard to say who will own this city then."

Whoever gets promoted and resources are allocated accordingly, the rest of the family won't have an easy time. It's a power struggle, you understand? And Zhou Ming just happened to be unlucky enough to be caught in it!

The young man said, "From now on, no one can say for sure that they won't get hurt. Isn't this just self-destructive to try and deal with a genius healer like this?"

Jin Wusheng said helplessly, "We've been used to the absence of surgical healers for thirty years. What difference does it make if they don't exist now or in the future?"

The young man asked, "That's such poor logic. What if he were part of our family?"

Jin Wusheng paused for a moment, then said, "I'll jump down right now, smash the car, and get him out!"

The young man gave a bitter smile: "He's clearly a child of the Su family, so why doesn't the Su family dare to utter a single word!"

Jin Wusheng sneered: "The Su family is a bunch of good-for-nothings, always thinking they're so clever. Back when the city was founded, the Su family had five members: Su Xun Dong, Su Xun Nan, Su Xun Xi, Su Xun Bei, and Su Xun Zhong. They were among the first to follow the old city lord."

The result was a disastrous hand; four out of the five brothers were ruined. For years, they'd been at the bottom of the seven major families. Now that they have this precious talent, they don't even cherish it. I wonder if their brains are filled with shit!

……

"Is Su Bingqian's brain full of shit?"

"Isn't this kid outstanding enough? In terms of fighting prowess, he chased and thrashed over a thousand people. Black Wind Mountain became his domain. It's a tragedy for the students of the top ten universities in this year's cohort to be born in the same year as him!"

"In terms of value, there are so many disabled law enforcement officers in the city. I heard that Ge Qing from the third team of the Prohibition Bureau was tormented by a leg injury for several years, but when her case was handled, she was cured in just a few minutes!"

Once he takes action, countless people will owe him favors, and his family will gain numerous potential allies!

"That damned Su Bingqian! If only he'd known, he would have had his elder brother and sister-in-law take a picture of him against the wall when they were pregnant with him!"

In a private room on the top floor of another building, Su Xunzhong, the patriarch of the Su family, was furious.

The group of people behind him didn't dare to utter a sound.

Su Qinghan sat to the side, her feet almost digging out of the three-bedroom apartment in embarrassment.

Su Xunzhong turned around: "What arrangements have been made at home?"

A middle-aged man replied, "Madam Liu personally arranged for Su Bushu of Yuan Refining to take action. In addition, the most outstanding Level 3 or above Order members in the family will be heading north one after another!"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "This can't be blamed on the family. Bufan has gone mad. He's started talking nonsense these past few days, saying there's a fairy sister in his head who's going to teach him to rebuild his sinful profession as a Gu Master!"

The first step is to sacrifice the bloodline of the entire clan's closest relatives! The family is furious!

Grandpa Su Xunzhong stood there, stunned: "Is that so?"

……

In another attic.

Ling Qifeng and Chen Yuanwu of the Chen family stood together, looking out the window at the car that was gradually disappearing into the distance.

Chen Yuanwu pointed in all directions with a gloating look: "Old Ling, I didn't target your son-in-law, but look, dozens of families in all directions are ready to make their move."

Once Zhou Ming and your daughter Ling Shuang leave the city, they will face endless attacks until they are beaten into submission and beg for mercy, obediently siding with the enemy. Just thinking about it is terrifying!

If you ask me, the problem lies with Zhou Ming; he doesn't know how to restrain himself, he's too ruthless and too conspicuous!

Ling Qifeng narrowed his eyes, a confident glint in them: "Nothing is certain, don't rush!"
