Helian Tiehua glanced at Ye Qing, slightly furrowed his brow, and said, ”If you want to ask about Huangfu Ziyu, you’d better not.”

Ye Qing indeed wanted to ask about Huangfu Ziyu, but unexpectedly, it seemed Helian Tiehua had anticipated what he was about to say and cut him off.

Ye Qing opened his mouth but ultimately remained silent. Li Qianqiu told him this, Old Wang Ba told him this, and now even Helian Tiehua was telling him this. What exactly are they avoiding? What is Huangfu Ziyu doing now? Why is it that even Helian Tiehua is so secretive, not daring to mention even her whereabouts?

”Ye Qing, where are you headed now?” Helian Tiehua asked softly, ”We’re going to Shenchuan City. Do you want a ride?”

”No need.” Ye Qing waved his hand and said, ”I need to make a trip to Shen Family Manor first.”

”Oh.” Helian Tiehua nodded and said, ”No problem. I’ll first take you to the city, and you can fly directly to Xi Hang.”

Ye Qing knew that Helian Tiehua was actually helping him, fearing he might encounter some danger again. Ye Qing didn’t refuse and followed Helian Tiehua and the others to Beijiang City. Helian Tiehua escorted them to the airport before leaving with the others.

There were quite a few flights from Beijiang City to Xi Hang. Ye Qing bought a ticket for the next morning. Actually, it was just a little over two hours of rest at the airport before boarding, and nothing troublesome happened that night. The two of them smoothly reached Xi Hang.

Ye Qing was already very familiar with Xihang Shen Family Manor. After getting off the plane, he and Handsome Fatty Wang took a taxi directly to Shen Family Manor. Of course, taxis were not allowed into the manor, so at the entrance road to Shen Family Manor, Ye Qing and Handsome Fatty Wang got off and made their way on foot.

After the last matchmaking event, Shen Family Manor was uncharacteristically quiet for a while. Ye Qing and Old Wang Ba walked in, meeting no one along the way, and directly reached outside the manor.

Returning to Shen Family Manor once more, Ye Qing had mixed feelings. Last time he was here, he successfully won the match, yet had to quietly leave the manor. The emotional entanglement between him and Shen Qingyi was the deepest pain of his life and his toughest decision.

”Ah, finally here!”

While Ye Qing was contemplating, Handsome Fatty Wang suddenly rushed over, knelt down, and kissed the ground several times, exclaiming excitedly, ”This is the Shen Family Manor with the most hidden treasures in all the Southern Six Provinces! There’s rumored to be a Treasure Pavilion with many treasures. I wonder if that’s true?”

Ye Qing’s forehead was instantly filled with sweat. Was this fatty planning to target Shen Family Manor? This was truly asking for trouble. Shen Family Manor’s belongings weren’t something he should covet!

”I’m telling you, behave yourself here!” Ye Qing whispered, ”This is Shen Family Manor; it’s full of experts. If you get caught here, I won’t be able to save you!”

Handsome Fatty Wang replied displeased, ”Oh dear, I don’t like hearing you say that. I haven’t even done anything, and you’re cursing me to get caught? Do you really think I’m that incompetent, that I’d surely get caught?”

”I’m saying this for your own good. If you get caught here, you can expect to be stuck here for life!” Ye Qing said solemnly, ”Also, everyone here is my friend. You’re not allowed to steal from them!”

”Alright, alright, I get it. Fine, I won’t make a move, okay?” Handsome Fatty Wang grumbled in return, ”I was just expressing admiration, and you took it seriously.”

Ye Qing cast a glance at Handsome Fatty Wang. He already regarded this fatty as the number one dangerous character, never letting down his guard. If he caused trouble elsewhere, fine, but if he did so at Shen Family Manor, Ye Qing wouldn’t be able to explain it to the people there.

After cautioning Handsome Fatty Wang several more times, Ye Qing finally led him into Shen Family Manor.

The people of Shen Family Manor were familiar with Ye Qing, but this time upon his entry, many of them looked at him with dissatisfaction. Even when Ye Qing greeted them, no one responded, puzzling him.

Fortunately, Shen Da promptly emerged, warmly inviting Ye Qing and Handsome Fatty Wang into the hall of Shen Family Manor.

”Mr. Shen, what’s up with those people outside?” Ye Qing asked curiously upon entering, ”Why do they seem hostile towards me?”

”Sigh!” Shen Da sighed and said, ”It’s because of the last matchmaking event. You left without a word, and many people think you let Qingyi down, so they’re upset with you. Actually, you can’t be blamed. My father has spoken to me about it. But, not many can know about the matchmaking event, so many aren’t aware of what truly happened and hold a grudge against you.”

Ye Qing suddenly understood why the people of the Shen Family looked at him this way. He fell silent for a moment and then whispered, ”What about Qingyi? Is she okay now?”

Shen Da’s expression changed slightly; he hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, ”She’s fine, she’s fine, don’t worry. She knows about this.”

Although Shen Da’s expression changed quickly, Ye Qing still caught a hint of worry in his eyes, causing Ye Qing’s own heart to become anxious. However, he didn’t press further since Shen Da seemed unwilling to discuss it, asking more questions wouldn’t help.

”By the way, are you here at Shen Family Manor for a specific reason this time?” Shen Da asked.

Ye Qing didn’t hide anything and directly recounted what Old Wang Ba had told him.

Listening to Ye Qing, Shen Da’s expression immediately changed as he said gravely, ”Medicine King Mountain is opening? When did this happen?”

”I don’t know either; that’s what Old Wang Ba said.” Ye Qing paused and said, ”Mr. Shen, do you know anything about Medicine King Mountain?”

”Of course!” Shen Da looked at Ye Qing and said, ”Medicine King Mountain is the mountain where Divine Doctor An Shiping was finally buried, and it’s also where Divine Doctor An Shiping lived while he was alive!”

”Ah?” Ye Qing was greatly astonished; he didn’t expect Medicine King Mountain to be connected to Divine Doctor An Shiping. But how can a mountain have concepts like opening and sealing?

”Wait a moment, I will go ask my father to come out!” Shen Da seemed very anxious, gave a quick instruction, and left directly.

After a while, Shen Tianjun and Shen Da rushed in from outside. As soon as he entered, Shen Tianjun directly asked, ”Ye Qing, who said that Medicine King Mountain is about to open?”

”Old Wang Ba!” Ye Qing looked at Shen Da in surprise; didn’t they just mention this? Why ask again?

”Did he really say that?” Shen Tianjun slightly furrowed his brows and asked, ”Did he mention anything else?”

Ye Qing replied, ”He said that once Medicine King Mountain opens, Uncle Shen, you can harvest those herbs you desire; he didn’t say anything else.”

”Is that so?” Shen Tianjun was astonished and asked, ”What about the Divine Doctor’s Order? Did he mention that?”

”Divine Doctor’s Order?” Ye Qing widened his eyes and said, ”Uncle Shen, you know the Divine Doctor’s Order?”

”What’s the matter?” Shen Tianjun was also puzzled and asked, ”Have you heard of the Divine Doctor’s Order?”

”Is it... this Divine Doctor’s Order?” Ye Qing took out the two Divine Doctor’s Orders from his pocket and handed them to Shen Tianjun.

Shen Tianjun looked at them and his face suddenly changed, saying, ”It really is the Divine Doctor’s Order! After fifty years, the Divine Doctor’s Order has finally appeared again!”

Shen Tianjun’s tone was filled with excitement and agitation, emotions rarely seen on him. It seems that he has indeed been waiting for a long time!

”Uncle Shen, what exactly is this Divine Doctor’s Order?” Ye Qingqi asked.

Shen Tianjun smiled and handed the two Divine Doctor’s Orders back to Ye Qing, saying, ”First, tell me how you got these two Divine Doctor’s Orders?”

Ye Qing recounted his experience at the Northwestern Border Line, particularly focusing on the two doctors.

”I see!” Shen Tianjun nodded slowly and said, ”It seems one of those doctors should be Sai Hua Tuo Baili Xi!”

”Ah?” Ye Qing was shocked and said, ”Sai Hua Tuo Baili Xi? He... he actually appeared?”

”Of course, otherwise, how would the Divine Doctor’s Order reappear in Jianghu?” Shen Tianjun looked at the Divine Doctor’s Order and said, ”This Divine Doctor’s Order is actually somewhat connected to my Shen Family.”

”Is that so?” Ye Qing glanced at the Divine Doctor’s Order in his hand and said, ”I wonder how the Divine Doctor’s Order is connected to the Shen Family?”

Shen Tianjun replied, ”Take a closer look at the material of the Divine Doctor’s Order; do you find it familiar?”

Ye Qing looked at the Divine Doctor’s Order carefully; it was made of wood, and the wood material was very special, with a faint medicinal scent. Shen Tianjun’s words made him feel familiar indeed, as though he had seen this type of wood somewhere before.

”It feels somewhat familiar, but I can’t recall it at the moment.” Ye Qing replied.

”That’s understandable,” Shen Tianjun laughed and said, ”What you’ve seen before are complete trees; you’ve never seen branches that have been broken off.”

”Oh?” Ye Qing was surprised and asked, ”What tree have I seen?”

Shen Tianjun pointed outside and said, ”There, that’s the tree.”

Following Shen Tianjun’s direction, Ye Qing looked over and happened to see a towering tree deep inside the Shen Family Manor.

”Isn’t that an agar tree?” Ye Qing glanced at the Divine Doctor’s Order in his hand, then at the agar tree, and suddenly exclaimed, ”The wood used for the Divine Doctor’s Order, is it the branches from the agar tree?”

”Exactly!” Shen Tianjun nodded and said, ”The wood for the Divine Doctor’s Order was taken from the branches of the agar tree. This Divine Doctor’s Order was indeed made by our people at Shen Family Manor helping An Shiping.”

”Ah?” Ye Qing’s eyes widened; he didn’t expect there to be such a connection between Divine Doctor An Shiping and Shen Family Manor. Does this mean that fifty years ago, Divine Doctor An Shiping had a good relationship with the Shen family?
