Ling Qi dodged to the side and replied with a smile, "I couldn't be happier. I just love beautiful women."
He thought to himself: Are there princesses in the Western Regions? Qin Susu, you've never been to the Western Regions, so how do you know that the princesses there are all as beautiful as celestial beings?
Qin Susu's attack missed, so she gave chase again.
"Have you ever heard of a femme fatale?"
Ling Qi turned and ran away from Qin Susu, heading towards the government office.
"A femme fatale, can she compare to Bai Lu? As for you, Miss Qin, don't worry, I will definitely choose a respectable family for you. That way, you can count as one of the four of us contributing."
Qin Susu's fist froze in mid-air. She sniffled and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Hmph!" Qin Susu turned her head and looked at Ling Ba with displeasure, only to see Ling Ba dodge and instantly move behind Qiu Yan.
"Xiaoyan, it's all your fault. Why do you always tease me like that?" She pouted, clearly displeased.
Qiu Yan was speechless. How old were these two?
"Who told you to be so beautiful?" Her words turned Qin Susu's anger into laughter.
"I love hearing that!"
Qin Susu beamed and linked arms with Qiu Yan, looking like close sisters.
Soon, the government office came into view.
"Xiaoyan, we've arrived at the government office. How do we get in?" Qin Susu asked.
"Of course we went inside."
Qiu Yan looked up and saw that Ling Qi had already walked towards the gate of the government office and started talking to the guards at the gate.
Ling Qi told the officials that they had seen the notice on the street and specifically sought out the itinerant doctor. He asked the officials if the prefect was in the mansion.
They were told that the prefect was not currently at the prefectural office, but at his own residence.
After exchanging a few words, Ling Qi turned back and walked towards Qiu Yan, then looked at the area about a hundred meters away from the government office.
"That is the residence of the prefect."
Qiu Yan looked up and saw that the plaque above the mansion read "Xie Mansion" in neat characters.
"Prefect Xie?" Qin Susu started walking towards the Xie residence.
Unexpectedly, before they even arrived, they saw two men with blood on their buttocks being escorted out of the mansion by officials, and they quickly took a step back.
The scene was somewhat bloody.
What... is going on?
Ling Qi sighed, "The situation is not good, Xiao Yan."
"It seems this prefect's son is quite ill." Ling Ba shook his head; this money wasn't easy to earn.
At that moment, the sound of two men crying and lamenting came from the gate of the mansion:
"My lord, my lord, your son's illness is difficult to cure, and it's not our fault."
"Sir, you see, we've already taken the beating, but you haven't paid the medical fee yet."
"That's right, we're using all expensive herbs, and we haven't even paid for them yet..."
The two men were escorted by the officials and thrown out of the government office, and then they were taken back into the government office.
Qin Susu's mouth trembled slightly: "This... why are they hitting people?" It turned out that they were two doctors.
Looking at the two men on the ground who were crying and pleading, her courage waned by half.
"This is outrageous! This prefect has no character." She grabbed Qiu Yan's elbow, her face showing displeasure.
"Let's go. This illness isn't worth the trouble!"
Ling Qi and Ling Ba nodded in agreement; this time, they shared the same thought as Qin Susu.
Qiu Yan pulled her elbow away: "What's the rush? Didn't you say you'd continue to assist me?"
“But…” Qin Susu looked at the two men on the ground and shook her head.
Because of the two men on the ground, she feared that Qiu Yan's medical skills were insufficient to cure the prefect's son's chronic illness.
"Their fate was rather tragic."
Qiu Yan: "Isn't there still you?"
