Even after being caught deceiving an elderly person, A-Yi-Gu remained unfazed and calmly told Tan Ding-Ding, "Stretch out your hand."

Tan Dingding was furious. "Hmph, I won't stretch it out."

A-I-Gu pretended to leave, saying, "It seems I'm not needed here anymore."

Tan Dingding quickly said, "Hey, hey, who said we don't need you anymore? Young man, sit down, sit down, here's your hand, okay?"

Ah Yigu then sat back down.

Hua Ansu watched the interaction between the old man and the child with a smile. It was so nice; her Ayigu could even joke with people now.

After a while, A-Yi-Gu finished taking Tan Ding-Ding's pulse. Tan Ding-Ding wasn't too concerned about the result. He was an alchemist himself; how could he not know his own physical condition? Everything was fine!

Ayigu nodded, indicating that the old man was not in any health problems.

Now let's get down to business.

"Hua girl, Yigu boy, you told me not to alert them, so I didn't investigate and kept a close eye on Lingling. But I've thought about it many times, and I really can't figure out who's behind this..."

Tan Dingding was completely baffled as to who was targeting her regarding her daughter's incident. There were only a handful of capable people in Picheng, and it was impossible for any one of them to be involved.

"Don't worry about that, he'll come looking for you."

Hua Ansu's words left Tan Dingding bewildered. "Huh? Who came looking for us?"

"Naturally, it's someone you wouldn't expect."

"What?" Tan Dingding stood up excitedly. "Isn't he afraid I'll beat him to death?"

Hua Ansu remained silent. "They think they have your daughter under their thumb, so why would they be afraid?"

Tan Dingding's voice weakened, "...Isn't Lingling better now?"

"Yeah."

That solves the problem.

Tan Dingding hardened up again, stood up and rolled up his sleeves, "If he dares to show up, I'll definitely fight him to the death!"

Anyone who sees this will believe it.

but……

Hua Ansu gestured for him to sit down. "Don't be so quick to kill him. Besides, it might not be him coming to us in person. After lying in wait for so long, how could he be so stupid as to expose himself so easily?"

Tan Dingding sat back down, he understood the implied meaning, "Hua girl, just tell me straight, I'll listen to you."

Hua Ansu expressed her thoughts, "Old Tan, if you trust me, keep the news that Tan Lingjian has been cured of the poison quiet for now. Just act as anxious as you have a few days ago and wait for someone to come to you."

Tan Dingding nodded, "Of course I believe you, but why does that guy want to talk to me? I'm just an old man who doesn't know anything except alchemy, what can I do to help him?"

Hua Ansu tapped the table beneath her hand, "You've hit the nail on the head. I suspect you have something he wants, whether it's a material possession or a skill..."

"You should agree to his request first and see what he really wants. Don't worry, I will always help you."

"By the way, that person definitely knows about your request for me to treat Tan Lingjian. He'll definitely be very disappointed and sad to see us out later. I noticed someone was watching us when I arrived, understand?"

Tan Dingding slapped his thigh, "Damn it, she even sent people to keep an eye on us?"

He realized, "Then what happened when I was talking in the yard and feeding Lingling her medicine...?"

Hua Ansu said, "...This is Heqing Street, a place where each house is a private residence. All the residents are people who have been dealt with by the Blacksmith Guild. Would that person dare to get close and peek? Don't worry, from his position, he can only see the outer perimeter of your house and the front door."

"Oh, oh, oh."

Tan Dingding was relieved.

Before being seen off by Tan Dingding with "disappointment" and "sadness," Hua Ansu asked about Yan Qingnuo's whereabouts.
