Chapter 232 "The Past Rival"

Gray-clad Man had originally been prepared to retire after achieving his goals, but upon seeing Yun Tai's actions, he paused in his tracks. Only his eyes showed an expression of astonishment.
He thought that compared to anyone else, he should be the one who understood Yun Tai the best.
Every day, twelve months a year, he paid attention without interruption for several years. He thought that nothing that happened to her would surprise him anymore.
However, shocker! This girl turned out to be practicing both magic and martial arts!
守护了整整三年，他居然没有发现这丫头修炼斗气！
他果然是太大意了！
回想过往，这丫头有太多的破绽，或者说她她压根就没有想过要掩饰自己会斗气这一点，可偏偏所有人都忽略了！
First of all, three years ago during the freshman friendship match, this girl astonished everyone by using martial arts to cast water magic. It is common knowledge that martial arts and magic do not intertwine. At that time, he should have realized that this girl must have cultivated fighting spirit because the weak fighting spirit was overshadowed by the displayed water magic. However, at that time, including him, everyone was terrified and completely failed to consider the possibility of Yun Tai practicing both magic and martial arts. Now, thinking back, it is a reasonable and logical explanation that she practiced both magic and martial arts. Casting magic with martial arts is absurd and unbelievable.
而云苔的魔法和斗气强弱之分差别那么大，一点都不奇怪。魔法是天赋技能，斗气是后天无中生有修炼出来的。而这一点她甚至当众广而告之。可偏偏当时知情的人都将她的话当成是宇澜国上层的计谋之一，选择了无视；相信的人直接将关注点落在了精神力解封上，反而忽略了她说的后天斗气的修炼。
而且明明普通的金属长针更加便捷，可云苔却一定要让炼金师开发出雷系电子长针。原本他以为云苔是为了彰显自己的新身份。由一个偏远小镇的丫头一下子变成了皇亲贵胄，而且又是爱炫耀的年龄段，会有这样的举动在所有人看来再正常不过。可现在想来，这丫头恐怕也是在掩饰她越来越强的斗气吧，当然云苔这么做也无可厚非。指定她求诊的病人实在是太多。如果全部都要用斗气，就现在的状态来看，一天能够治疗一个病患就不错了。
Just watching Yun Tai's flowing movements made the man in the grey robe feel a difference in her. Her whole presence seemed completely different. It seems that she hasn't put her heart and soul into treating patients before. Of course, after observing for such a long time, the man in the grey robe still has a great trust in Yun Tai's character. He would rather believe that Yun Tai hasn't used her true abilities, perhaps because she hasn't encountered a patient as serious as Shui Hongyu.
虚虚实实，或者她从来都没有隐藏过自己修炼斗气这一事实，可却都因为其他事情反而被人们所忽略了。
Looking at the trajectory of the silver needle, it is obvious that Yun Tai is well aware of the internal circulation route of Shui Hongyu's Qi cultivation. Judging from her proficiency, she has clearly performed acupuncture on Shui Hongyu more than once. Based on the information he has read, the two of them had some connection during their time in the Fourth Legion, and during that period, Shui Hongyu did not suffer any serious injuries...
After exploring with his divine sense, the man in gray was somewhat surprised to find that Shui Hongyu's Dou Qi was much more abundant compared to an ordinary eighth-level Dou Master. This means that he had established a very solid foundation from the beginning of his cultivation, constantly suppressing his cultivation while laying a solid groundwork. Accumulating thickly and thinning out, perhaps this is the reason why he was able to endure until now.
The investigation of the man in gray has obviously alarmed the concentratedly treating Yuntai. However, she didn't dare to distract and warn the other party not to mess around. Infusing Dou Qi into the healing process poses great risks for both Shui Hongyu and Yuntai. A slight mistake could result in serious injuries or even death. In that instant, she really wanted to chop someone! Beads of sweat formed on Yuntai's forehead as this troublemaker inflicted a significant psychological burden on her!
一无所觉的灰衣人一面继续盯着云苔的动作，脑子一面继续高速运转。他突然想到，以前也有传出云苔的这一手针灸疗法可以帮助提升斗气修为，甚至安全升阶。不过这样的传闻很快被他和护国公一起压了下去。一是出于安全考虑，这个世界强者为尊，任何能够提升修为的方法都会导致修炼者疯狂。其次云苔自身的修为摆在那里，至今仍然停留在三级魔法师上，没有一点突破的迹象。自然让这条传闻变得没有任何说服力。哪怕当初云苔亲口承认的后天斗者的修炼方式是真的，可依然被所有人听而不闻。
He remembered that it was Yun Tai who treated his injuries after Jing Haiyang got injured three years ago, and he had several acupuncture treatments. It is said that Jing Haiyang's foundation of martial spirit became stronger. At that time, he didn't take this news seriously, thinking that Jing Haiyang exaggerated the publicity to thank Yun Tai for her treatment. After all, Jing Haiyang is a great martial master, so it was already surprising that Yun Tai could treat him. Looking back now, it seems that he was too arrogant.
The man in the gray suit's finger twitched---he demanded a thorough investigation into all the information about Shui Hongyu after he enlisted. By doing so, he naturally wanted to conceal what he truly wanted to confirm.
不出所料，收到灰衣人的要求，云翊的眉头微不可查地抖了抖。水家因为云苔的关系一直受到云家的扶持。水鸿宇同样是他看好的培养对象。他的斗气天赋摆在那里，再怎么努力，能坐上营带的位子，还必须靠云家努力运作的结果。而从一直的表现来看，云翊认为这小子值得云家为他努力运作一番。
Now the shadow guards suddenly want to investigate Shui Hongyu's past after joining the military, and they want to document it in detail, which inevitably makes Yun Yi worried.
What happened?
"Captain Shui Hongyu has suffered severe injuries, and General Yun Tai is currently providing him with emergency treatment." The feedback on the news is extremely rapid.
Could it be that they found something during the first aid? For example, maybe he was also replaced like Bruce, or they discovered a toxin that controls the mind, like the one in Yunxi. Yunyi is more inclined towards the latter, as it is a chronic
After realizing this, Yun Yi directly withheld all the feedback materials in his hands. Since it was a military matter involving military personnel, there was no reason to allow outsiders to intervene.
And this outsider is not just any other person, but his strongest opponent during his youth, a rival with mutual admiration, someone he could trust in the military. It has been said that in life, finding one true confidant is enough to die without regrets. But for Yun Yi, finding a rival with mutual admiration is equally fortunate. However, sixteen years ago, he suddenly disappeared from the crowd, and no one knew what had happened...
And now, he suddenly appeared in front of him again, and became the shadow guard of his daughter! There was no explanation for his disappearance back then, which made Yun Yi feel extremely frustrated. He had always believed that they were not strangers, but looking into those eyes, Yun Yi realized that he truly didn't understand him.
After going through Huoyu Shui's information several times, Yunyi couldn't find anything unusual. In fact, since transferring from the Fourth Legion to the Second Legion, every step of Shui Hongyu's promotion can be said to be arranged by the Yun family. How could Yunyi not know what was written in these materials?
Annoyed, Yunyi threw down the materials in his hand. He knew that this kind of mood would only make things worse. But ever since he realized that Yingwei was his first love, Yunyi felt his once-cooled blood boiling again, and his youthful spirit of competitiveness reemerged.
Although his spiritual power cultivation has already surpassed him, although his achievements have already surpassed him, Yunyi has a sense of crisis that an unknown competition will soon start between them, and he may lose!
