Chapter 2809: Chapter 2809: The One Who Unties the Bell (1)

Gu Qiao and the others wanted to chase, but Gu Qingheng stopped them: "No need to chase, he won’t get far." That palm strike he delivered was with seventy percent strength, not fatal but it had already shaken his internal organs, making recovery very difficult. Unless his wife or Dao Xuzi stepped in, he’d wait for death. So if he wants to live, he has to return.

Yang Ruxin also laughed, there’s no way they’d let him leave empty-handed. Dao Xuzi had been using the medicinal herbs grown from her essence blood to create medicine powder, and had only just concocted a new medicine a couple of days ago, preparing to test it clinically. Today, it would be used on the Young Master, and if he doesn’t want to die, he’d have to come back, providing a chance to observe the drug’s efficacy.

"Madam, something’s wrong." At that moment, Miao Jian ran over, "Long Qingye is missing."

Yang Ruxin exchanged a glance with Gu Qingheng, then hurried back to the small building.

Sure enough, the room where Long Qingye had stayed was wide open, a plate of freshly cooked snacks sat on the table, with half of one dropped on the ground, but the person was gone.

"Could it be that Yong Cang wants to use Long Qingye to threaten the madam?" Chai Qin’s expression was a bit peculiar.

The other people’s expressions were also peculiar upon hearing this.

But with this happening, Yang Ruxin truly couldn’t leave, yet Wan Song was anxious on the other side, what to do?

Dao Xuzi directly waved his hand: "I’m not going." However, he had Wan Quan describe Wan Song’s situation, finally concluding that it was poisoning, a kind of chronic poison, specific diagnosis was needed to know exactly what. Nevertheless, one antidote pill could keep the old man from dying too soon.

In the end, Wan Quan left with two medicine pills, not daring to delay too much; his father’s situation could afford no delay.

Yong Cang had yet to figure out where he slipped up, making him rather annoyed, and more annoyingly, starting from the second day, his body began to itch—not everywhere, but here and there, intermittently. At first, it was nothing, but over time, it became unbearable. Imagine having a meal when suddenly your finger itches so much you can’t hold the chopsticks, trying to sleep when your back itches so much you can’t lay down, sitting when your butt itches, standing when your feet itch, the sensation... isn’t it exhilarating?

This doesn’t even account for the harm from Gu Qingheng’s palm strike.

He also hadn’t expected Gu Qingheng’s skills to be so formidable. Initially, he might be able to fight evenly, but now the gap has widened significantly.

"Young Master, what to do?" Shi Tian was anxious watching, finding a doctor was useless.

Yong Cang smiled: "The one who ties the bell must untie it." He didn’t feel aggrieved at falling for Yang Ruxin’s trick; the nickname ’Divine Doctor’ wasn’t for nothing, plus he felt lucky that the opponent had shown mercy, recalling those black-clothed men who stormed the small building earlier, those hit by asphyxiation powder — even the sight of their death was distressing.

Three days later, in a certain forest on the outskirts of Baihua County.

Yang Ruxin assisted Gu Qingheng as they stepped off the carriage.

Yong Cang turned around: "You two are very punctual."

"I’m very curious about the drug’s efficacy." Yang Ruxin widened her eyes at Yong Cang, "Need to observe your reaction."

Yong Cang’s mouth twitched: "Your medicine..."

"It was just concocted two days before I used it on you, hadn’t even had the chance to test it on mice or anything yet. I’m quite grateful to you for trying the drug for me. Would you like to share your feelings first?"

"You..." Yong Cang was furious.
