In a dark underground city, noisy voices, roars, and deafening sounds pierce the eardrums.

Led by Ye Shaoqing, Hua Shi and Xie Mingchi easily entered the underground black market. They had originally thought it would be a hidden place, but they didn't expect it to be hidden above ground. No wonder Xie Mingchi said that without a guide, it would be difficult for ordinary people to enter.

"Second Young Master Ye, you've arrived just in time! It just so happens that the tiger raised by the master above the arena is playing 'game' with slaves captured from a neighboring country. Do you want to go and take a look and place a bet?"

A man walking towards them, his eyes lit up when he saw Ye Shaoqing, and he came up to him with a smile and said.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the inside. From inside, one could faintly hear the roar of wild beasts and the shouts of the crowd.

Ye Shaoqing frowned, glanced at him, raised his chin and said, "Let's talk about it later. I'll go in and take a look first."

The man was still blocking the way and refused to leave. He glanced at Xie Mingchi and Hua Shi standing behind him and asked curiously, "Why didn't Second Young Master Ye bring your two servants with him today? Who are these two?"

Hua Shi imitated Xie Mingchi, with a tense face, looking expressionless and calm.

Ye Shaoqing said impatiently: "Are you going to move aside or not? You're the only one who talks too much, asking all sorts of questions."

"Yes, Master, please come in."

Seeing that Ye Shaoqing was really impatient now, the man readily made way for him and made a gesture of invitation.

Ye Shaoqing took the opportunity to lead the two of them inside. The three people who walked away did not hear the man behind them who was originally smiling, and cursed softly.

"Bah, what a thing! If my family didn't have a little money, I'd really think I was that capable..."

…

"Okay, I've brought you here for almost the entire time. There's no curfew, so you can go out anytime. You don't need me to lead you anymore."

Arriving at a secluded spot, Ye Shaoqing turned around and looked back at the two of them. He curled his lips and continued, "No need to thank me. I was planning to come to the black market anyway. Although I don't know what you are doing here, I still want to remind you that it's best not to go to the arena. Go to the stalls on the other side and have a look. Maybe they have what you want."

Xie Mingchi nodded and said okay.

Hua Shi also thanked him.

Ye Shaoqing waved his hand and ran straight towards a place without looking back. It seemed that he had made plans long ago and had a clear goal.

After the others disappeared from view, Hua Shi turned around and looked around, "Where should we go next?"

This was her first time here, and she had no idea what was in the black market. If she came to the black market...

Xie Mingchi held her hand and walked in the opposite direction of Ye Shaoqing. He looked very familiar with the place and didn't look like it was his first time here.

"Have you been here before?" Hua Shi followed closely and couldn't help but ask.

"Well, Shaoqing and I have been here twice before. His father is bedridden and needs some precious medicinal herbs to prolong his life. Those herbs are hard to find, and most of them have to be found on the black market."

Hua Shi paused, then suddenly asked, "Is the doctor who treats his father from this town?"

If it's reliable...

Before she could start to imagine, Xie Mingchi's next words interrupted her thoughts.

"The doctor who treated his father hasn't been seen for a long time, five or six years. I heard he was a strange doctor who came here looking for medicine. He refused to treat people even if he spent a lot of money, saying that it was just a coincidence and he would treat those who were compatible. He went to see the strange doctor several times, but was never sent back. Later, he told him the symptoms and prescribed a prescription. He has been taking the medicine until now, and his life has been saved."

I was just hanging on to my last breath, lying on the bed, and couldn't quite get up...

Hua Shi nodded, she understood.

He's just a freak doctor who treats those he likes and ignores those he doesn't...

"That strange doctor never showed up again after that?" Hua Shi guessed the answer but still asked.

Xie Mingchi shook his head.

Because he hadn't appeared again, no one knew where he came from or where he had gone. It was pointless to mention someone you couldn't find, so he didn't mention it.
