Although Yu Tongming was a deputy commander, both Zhou Xuan and Elder Fang addressed him as commander.
The implication was obvious.
Moreover, now that Zhou Xuan had treated him, Yu Tongming had brought him into his own camp.
When Zhou Xuan heard Yu Tongming say this, he knew that he intended to investigate him.
It was unlikely that anything he thought of could be hidden from this powerful figure.
Zhou Xuan thought for a moment and then asked, "May I ask where it is similar?"
"In acupuncture, they all seem to be about the same."
Yu Tongming shook his head and smiled, "You don't need to be nervous, I'm just asking."
He seemed to be lost in memory: "Back then, I..." He suddenly paused, then looked at Zhou Xuan, his gaze extremely complex.
"What about back then?"
Zhou Xuan's curiosity was piqued, and he couldn't help but press.
"It's nothing."
Yu Tongming waved his hand: "It's just that I encountered the same thing back then."
He seemed to recall something and frowned in thought.
"I was injured back then and was saved by someone. In my daze, I saw someone using acupuncture techniques that were very similar to yours."
"Commander Yu, what's wrong?"
Elder Fang, seeing that Yu Tongming seemed a little absent-minded, asked with concern.
"It's nothing."
Yu Tongming waved his hand and continued to recall, "I just feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
Zhou Xuan was delighted to hear this.
He quickly said, "Perhaps you are mistaken. I am from Cangyun City. You have been in Shangjing for many years, so you might not know me."
Yu Tongming was taken aback: "Oh? Then..."
"Perhaps the person you saw was my father."
As Zhou Xuan spoke, he subtly observed Yu Tongming's expression.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tongming couldn't help but frown and ponder: "Could it be that my memory is confused?"
He didn't remember any man named Zhou coming to find him.
This was Zhou Xuan's first time meeting him.
"I am from the Zhou family in Cangyun City. My parents were exterminated ten years ago, and their bodies were never found. The entire Zhou family, so many people, disappeared overnight..."
Yu Tongming's expression was solemn.
"The killer?"
"Still under investigation. I only hope to see them alive or find their bodies."
Yu Tongming saw Zhou Xuan's melancholy.
"Don't worry, since you have given me, Yu Tongming, a second life and opportunity today, I will definitely help you!"
Elder Fang also said with a smile, "Commander Yu, the next general election will start soon. Don't worry, my Fang family will definitely support you."
Yu Tongming nodded.
"I'm afraid the opponent already has the support of several other families."
Elder Fang glanced at Zhou Xuan, "You underestimate this Zhou Xuan. Shangjing's Lu family, Zhuge family, Sun family, and Fang family, as long as you speak, we will follow you to conquer the world."
Yu Tongming nodded with satisfaction.
He gave Zhou Xuan a look of approval.
Zhou Xuan was overjoyed.
However, he needed to confirm who Yu Tongming's opponent actually was.
To know oneself and one's enemy is to win a hundred battles.
"I don't know what Commander Yu needs me to do? It would be best if I can help."
Zhou Xuan did not hide his willingness to help.
When talking to smart people, there is no need for too many schemes.
"Although I don't have many subordinates, and their abilities are average, I still have a few useful people."
Yu Tongming pondered for a long time.
"Xiao Chenyi is the dark horse that has emerged, defeating the previous number one with overwhelming public support, becoming my formidable rival."
"If there is anyone who could possibly obstruct my path, it is this person."
"Xiao Chenyi?"
Upon hearing the name, Elder Fang gasped, "I heard that someone had fought against Xiao Chenyi. At that time, his strength far surpassed that of a master cultivator. Now, I'm afraid..."
Yu Tongming saw what he was thinking and smiled, "Don't worry, although Xiao Chenyi is powerful, he is not a difficult opponent in my eyes. He is still too young."
"You must know that this command center is not so easy to navigate."
"If possible, I hope to be able to help Commander Yu a little."
Zhou Xuan bowed gratefully, secretly rejoicing that Yu Tongming had no ill intentions towards him.
If he had suspected Zhou Xuan of having ulterior motives, he wouldn't have let him sit here.
Elder Fang said, "Perhaps the commander has already investigated him. However, I still need to remind you that Xiao Chenyi has a perverse personality and acts with extreme ruthlessness. If he finds out that your body has recovered, he might very well do something unfavorable to you."
Yu Tongming thought of another matter.
He asked Zhou Xuan, "How did you know I was hit by the Shattered Pulse Palm?"
Zhou Xuan was slightly startled: "This is because I have studied the strengths of various schools. I identified it based on your injuries."
"Yes, after all, your medical skills are extraordinary, and Xiao Chenyi has many enemies. He currently regards me as a thorn in his side. If he were to seek revenge, it is possible."
Yu Tongming nodded.
"For now, please, Elder Fang and young friend Zhou, do not let it be known that I have been cured."
"Thank you for the reminder, Commander Yu. We will definitely keep it a secret."
Yu Tongming nodded.
Zhou Xuan was not worried about Xiao Chenyi, as he was also a cultivator.
Moreover, Xiao Chenyi was once a major in the army. Although his martial arts were not as good as Zhou Xuan's, he was still a fierce general.
But Xiao Chenyi's strength was very formidable.
Listening to Elder Fang's description.
Zhou Xuan even suspected that Xiao Chenyi had also reached the Creation Realm.
In that case, Xiao Chenyi was indeed someone he needed to be cautious of.
After all, this person was an unstable factor hindering his cooperation with Yu Tongming.
"He is a martial artist, and a strong cultivator who is preparing to break through to the Transcendence Realm."
"Furthermore, this person is preparing to enter the command center and compete for the position of highest commander of the national command center."
Yu Tongming thought for a moment and revealed the truth to Zhou Xuan.
"His master is called Xiao Wushuang, who is said to have great prestige in the army. If he were to come out of seclusion, then it would be even more difficult for us."
Yu Tongming sighed at this point, "I originally did not want you to get involved in this matter. The elders of the five great families may not even be able to suppress him."
"What confidence do you have yourself?"
Zhou Xuan was puzzled. He felt that this Commander Yu was very cautious, and did not seem like someone who would hesitate.
"My confidence comes from my belief in your medical skills."
After saying this, Yu Tongming fell into deep thought again and remained silent for a long time.
"To be honest, Commander, the Qin family is not a suitable partner at the moment. Among the five great families, only the remaining four can be of use to you." Zhou Xuan finally said this.
He worried that the Qin family would not fare well here and would turn around and defect to Xiao Wushuang and Xiao Chenyi.
Yu Tongming was a sharp individual and could not help but understand Zhou Xuan's meaning.
He immediately thought of the enemies Zhou Xuan had mentioned earlier, who had traveled from Cangyun City to Shangjing.
The four families were all on good terms with him, and Elder Fang also valued this young man. The Qin family was not mentioned by him later.
"So, does this mean the Qin family might turn to support this young man, Xiao Chenyi?"
