After Leng Zhan stormed off in a huff, the three experts who had concealed their presence near the prison didn't leave; instead, they carefully monitored "him."
When they fought with "him" before, although they were skilled in martial arts, they felt that their opponent was not to be underestimated, especially "his" strength. The person who was finally knocked away by "him" had practiced lower body skills for decades, and ordinary people could not push him at all.
It's truly strange that this man named Yan Jiu, with such high martial arts skills, has no name in the martial arts world.
Xia Yixin felt a little regretful after the cold war. She was worried that Chu Mubai would not take his medicine or see a doctor. Given his condition, just taking the medicine in the porcelain bottle would not be enough.
She stood up and called out in the direction of one of the hidden masters, “If anyone hears this, please tell Leng Zhan that my sworn sister said that if his health is really too bad, Leng Zhan should find a doctor to perform acupuncture according to the method she left behind for seven consecutive days. This will help him restore his vitality. Otherwise, even if he finishes a whole bottle of medicine, it won’t help.”
After she finished speaking, she waited for a moment, and only felt relieved after sensing that one of the auras had left.
Fortunately, not long after, a system notification sounded in her mind: "Ding, the male supporting character's life value has increased by 5 points, totaling 35 points! In addition, the male supporting character's happiness value has dropped to 10. Host, you really were ruthless for a moment, but you almost ended up in the crematorium..."
"I don't regret it at all. It's his own fault for courting death. Even if I hadn't woken him up, he would have continued to run into a brick wall."
Xia Yixin still felt a lump in her throat. Although she didn't regret the harsh words she had said before, her eyes darkened slightly when she thought of the scene of Chu Mubai spitting blood. That wretched bastard!
He was the first to make those harsh remarks; I really don't know what he was thinking.
But even if we take a step back, she still has to do the mission. After she's made those harsh words and lost her temper, she should think about how to improve her stats.
She thought for a long time and suddenly realized that Zi Linglong had been silent for a while. When she turned her head, she found that the little girl's face was red and she didn't know what she was thinking. She was also avoiding her gaze.
"Are you hungry? Or do you need to go to the bathroom?" These were the only two possibilities she could think of.
"No way!" Zi Linglong's face turned even redder. She glared at "him," then turned and sat down on the ground, her lips curving upwards involuntarily. Her mind was filled with Yan Jiu's words, "my person," and she cursed herself for being so weak.
Xia Yixin glanced at the little girl with her back to her, but didn't think much of it; she was waiting for Ying.
Chu Mubai was quite kind; he brought them food not long after locking them up. He originally wanted to take Zi Linglong out, but because Xia Yixin said that wherever she was, "he" would be there too, he had no choice but to leave the two of them in the prison for the time being.
Fortunately, in the summer, the prison felt brand new again, and even the straw on the ground was clean.
Zi Linglong didn't care at all, eating and drinking as usual, and even said happily as if she was inexplicably happy, "Just treat it as a prison vacation." This made Xia Yixin both laugh and cry.
Inside the prison, only one oil lamp was lit.
Zi Linglong fell asleep covered with "his" outer garment. In the latter half of the night, for some reason, the three experts who were originally in the shadows withdrew. Xia Yixin sat cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened her eyes, and there was no trace of sleepiness in them.
Sure enough, a short while later, a crumpled piece of paper was thrown in through the window and landed right next to her.
Xia Yixin picked it up and opened it. Sure enough, it was Ying's handwriting. He had written four sentences: "The divine physician Gu Chenchen has treated Chu Mubai, and his injuries are stable. Zi Linglong was burned to death. The new emperor, upon learning this, has personally led an expedition, and a great war between the two countries is imminent. Chu Mubai demands money and provisions from the Northern Underworld Emperor in exchange for seven thousand soldiers and Crown Prince Rui."
After reading it, she immediately destroyed the note, and sure enough, not long after, the three experts returned.
Xia Yixin closed her eyes again and sorted out the information she had gathered. She hadn’t expected that Chu Mubai would go so far as to make the fire a real event, but she couldn’t be sure whether Chu Mubai genuinely wanted to free Zi Linglong or just wanted to control her.
It's not surprising that the new emperor, upon learning of Zi Linglong's "death," would personally lead an expedition, tear up the peace treaty, and wage war. It's also not surprising that Chu Mubai would demand money and provisions from the Northern Underworld Emperor in exchange for seven thousand soldiers and Crown Prince Rui.
However, what surprised her the most was that Shen Chen, the so-called "divine doctor" of the Divine Doctor Valley, actually appeared two years earlier than in the original story.
She didn't actually know that Shen Chen's sudden appearance in Maicheng was related to her, or rather, to "Yan Jiu".
Two months ago, Shen Chen, who was supposed to leave the Valley of Divine Doctors in two years, actually received a letter from the Lord of Righteousness Manor. The letter was sent by the Lord half a year ago, but due to various circumstances, it was delayed for a long time before it reached Shen Chen.
The letter requested that the people of Divine Healer Valley come out and treat the fiancée of the manor lord. Divine Healer Valley had been in seclusion for many years to avoid unnecessary troubles in the mortal world, but by Shen Chen's generation, he was the only one left in Divine Healer Valley. Moreover, Shen Chen had not left the valley for more than ten years. In addition, the letter from the manor lord described the poison that his fiancée had as very peculiar, so Shen Chen left the valley.
Along the way, he found everything fascinating and happened to witness the Demonic Cult Leader's wedding. He learned from the people that the Demonic Cult Leader was born with a body full of poison, and ordinary women could not get close to him, as they would be poisoned if they touched him.
Who knew that one day, their leader intercepted a woman, and she touched him without any problems. Not only that, but later, a man that woman brought actually cured the leader of the demonic sect's illness!
This piqued Shen Chen's interest. After he revealed his identity as a member of the Divine Doctor Valley, he examined the Demonic Sect leader's pulse and discovered traces of a "Love Flower Poison" that had been inflicted on his body. This was a poison he had read about in ancient books, and even he himself could not cure it. It was astonishing that there were experts in this world whose medical skills surpassed those of the Divine Doctor Valley.
Yet the Divine Doctor Valley actually considers itself superior and hides in the mountains.
It's absolutely ridiculous!
While feeling extremely ashamed, Shen Chen also felt immense respect for the esteemed senior named Yan Jiu.
Especially as he walked all the way to Justice Manor, he heard many stories about Senior Yan, who was known as the "Ghost Doctor." He said that he could save people from the brink of death with his skillful methods, that he could deliver babies from women in difficult labor and ensure the safety of both mother and child, and that he could even miraculously cure a village plague by sprinkling something in the water...
Although the name of this "ghost doctor" is not well-known, he is praised by everyone wherever he goes, and is even hailed as a god-like figure. Unfortunately, he is a low-key person who does not charge a penny. Apart from a pretty young girl accompanying him and an occasional cold-faced guard, no one knows where he comes from or where he goes.
They arrived at Zhengyi Manor. When Shen Chen learned that the manor lord's wife's illness had been cured by Senior Yan, he was not surprised at all. Shen Chen couldn't wait to meet that senior.
Shen Chen, who had been fascinated by medicine since childhood, traveled day and night and rode his horse to Maicheng. Just then, he encountered a great battle between the two armies and had to wait outside the city for a night before entering.
Upon entering the city, he happened to encounter Leng Zhan searching for a doctor. Adhering to the principle of saving lives, he went into the county government office.
