Chapter 1948: Chapter 1796: Seeds of Doubt
Du Yu responded and called Commander He again.
As soon as the call connected, a roar came through: "Xiao Du, I’ve told you I’m in a meeting, is it another question from Lady Dongfang?"
Du Yu hurriedly said: "Reporting to the Commander, it’s not Lady Dongfang, it’s General Song Yun asking me to make this call, he wants to speak with you personally."
Upon hearing that it was Song Yun who asked for the call, Commander He’s attitude immediately changed, saying: "Hand the phone over to General Song."
Song Yun took the phone and said: "Hello, Commander He, sorry for the disturbance, I’d like to ask, what is the identity of Dongfang Yun?"
"General Song, what do you mean by that?"
Commander He didn’t answer directly, he needed to first understand Song Yun’s intentions, as both Dongfang Yun and Song Yun were very important figures, and he didn’t want them to become enemies.
Song Yun chuckled: "Commander He, to be honest, I’m somewhat interested in Dongfang Yun, that’s why I’m asking you."
Upon hearing this, Commander He immediately laughed.
Song Yun asking him about this meant that he regarded him as one of his own.
He immediately said: "No problem, I’ll tell you all the information I have about Lady Dongfang. As for how far you two can develop, that’s up to your abilities. If it succeeds, you’ll have to thank me, the matchmaker, then."
Song Yun laughed: "Of course, no problem."
Commander He said: "Speaking of Dongfang Yun, I first met her many years ago. Back then she was just thirteen or fourteen, and when I was handling matters at Shaolin, I had the pleasure of meeting the abbot, Master Kong Ming. At that time, Dongfang Yun was reciting the Buddhist scriptures beside Master Kong Ming, but from the way Master Kong Ming spoke, it seemed the girl wasn’t actually a believer in Buddhism."
"Shaolin Temple only accepts male disciples, so I was curious why there was a girl with Master Kong Ming. I boldly asked Master Kong Ming, and the master said the girl was a disciple of another sect, and he was entrusted to teach her Buddhist Law for calming the mind."
"To receive guidance from Master Kong Ming and be a disciple from another sect, I suspect Dongfang Yun might be a disciple of Wudang. If General Song Yun is truly interested in Dongfang Yun, you might as well pay a visit to Wudang, perhaps you could get more information about her."
Upon hearing this, Song Yun roughly understood a few things.
He thanked Commander He and then hung up the phone.
"You may leave now."
He waved to Du Yu, then turned and walked towards the hotel.
On the road, he began to ponder.
He dismissed the idea of Dongfang Yun being a Wudang disciple.
Excluding the Hermit Realm, Wudang and Shaolin are the two strongest sects in Huaxia, one is Taoism and the other is Buddhism, in any case, Wudang wouldn’t have sent Dongfang Yun to Shaolin.
To do so would be to admit that Wudang is inferior to Shaolin and that Taoism is less than Buddhist Law.
Therefore, Dongfang Yun is not a Wudang disciple.
Other sects may send disciples to Shaolin to learn, but other sects’ disciples wouldn’t receive personal guidance from Shaolin’s Master Kong Ming.
After all, the two sides aren’t equal, Shaolin wouldn’t have its most prominent Master Kong Ming personally provide instruction.
Master Kong Ming doesn’t have that kind of free time, and even if he did, he wouldn’t lower his status.
So, Dongfang Yun isn’t a disciple from any of the weaker sects.
If that’s the case, since Dongfang Yun can receive guidance from Master Kong Ming, she isn’t from an equivalent sect like Wudang, nor from any weaker sect, then there’s only one possibility left.
She comes from a sect stronger than Shaolin, and it was through someone’s request that Master Kong Ming personally taught her Buddhist principles.
If framed this way, it makes sense.
And a sect stronger than Shaolin, aside from those in the Hermit Realm, Song Yun couldn’t think of any others.
"It seems Dongfang Yun indeed comes from the Hermit Realm, the only thing I don’t know is whether her sect and the Shen Family are friends or foes. If she is an ally of the Shen Family, I’m afraid a conflict between us might be unavoidable."
Song Yun furrowed his brow, actually, he was somewhat reluctant to fight Dongfang Yun.
Firstly, Dongfang Yun is a beauty.
Secondly, Dongfang Yun is a very good person.
However, if their positions differ significantly, a fight would be inevitable.
Of course, the ideal situation would be for both sides to become allies.
Shaking his head, Song Yun decided not to think about it anymore and returned to his hotel room.
After packing up his things, he went downstairs to the parking lot, got into the Wrangler, and continued on his journey.
Although this Wrangler is the Sahara version and doesn’t have the rugged off-road capabilities of the Rubicon version, it still allowed Song Yun to easily enter the unpaved forest terrain.
Of course, he hadn’t yet entered a truly off-road area, perhaps it was a track developed by off-road enthusiasts, while rough and uneven, it didn’t have dense trees or large gradients.
Once he reaches the actual deep mountains, walking would be faster than driving.
In fact, now Song Yun could move faster on foot than by car.
However, if he walked, he would have to carry his car’s supplies, like food, sleeping bag, and drinking water, all by himself, which would be quite a burden.
So, as long as the car could still drive further in, he would keep driving.
As Song Yun continued eastward past a large pine tree, he saw an Audi Q7 trapped, its rear wheels suspended and unable to move forward.
This marked the difference between a true off-road vehicle and a city SUV.
Such terrain would be a piece of cake for the Wrangler, but for the Q7, it was quite challenging.
Beside the Audi Q7, a woman dressed entirely in black was placing large stones under the rear wheels to help free the Q7.
What Song Yun didn’t expect was that this woman turned out to be Dongfang Yun.
