Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

He issued the order for his men to stay where they were, and Nanyuan En followed Hong Yanxia toward the front.

At a glance, on the ground ahead, every short distance there lay a patient. Some were groaning in pain, some had already stopped breathing, their corpses beginning to rot.

The stench was somewhat pungent.

The scene also made Nanyuan En’s expression turn a bit strange.

”Master Hong, why are these corpses…”

”Shh!”

Hong Yanxia hushed him, and only then did Nanyuan En notice a group of people approaching from ahead, led by none other than Song Zhenrong.

”Captain Song.”

Hong Yanxia greeted him.

Song Zhenrong also saluted and returned the greeting, then sized up the people behind Hong Yanxia.

Since they had already met once during the day, Song Zhenrong still had some impression of Nanyuan En.

Moreover, ever since they entered the Foolish Underworld, they had never stopped collecting all sorts of information about Da Liang City, so at this moment Song Zhenrong was very clear on how exalted Nanyuan En’s status was.

”Young Master Nanyuan, I am Song Zhenrong, mainly responsible for Mr. Diao and Divine Doctor Ding’s safety. Although it may be presumptuous, I must ask Young Master Nanyuan to first accept my inspection before proceeding further.”

If you don’t do anything shady, you don’t fear ghosts knocking at your door.

Nanyuan En generously spread his hands.

”I have long heard Captain Song’s name. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary. As for the inspection, Captain Song, please search as you wish.”

Hong Yanxia did not need to be inspected, because this place was the Foolish Underworld; they were on the Underworld’s turf, borrowing the Underworld’s grounds to rest, so there was no reason to guard against their host.

”Offense.”

After a brief search, Song Zhenrong quickly let him pass, while the people beside him had already gone to report back when he started searching Nanyuan En.

”Captain Song, you’re too courteous. It’s a pity I have other urgent matters today. How about this: another day, I will personally call on you, and we’ll drink together and not leave until we’re drunk, hahaha!”

Song Zhenrong smiled and cupped his hands. ”We’ll see.”

Once he had his people clear the way, Hong Yanxia led Nanyuan En straight toward the large tent ahead.

The entrance of the tent was half open, and one could vaguely see busy figures inside; that should be the legendary Divine Doctor Ding.

Nanyuan En’s mood suddenly became somewhat tense and uneasy.

Whether or not he could secure cooperation with Divine Doctor Ding tonight concerned the Nanyuan Family’s rise, and even their grand plan to dominate Da Liang City!

”Master Hong, Young Master Nanyuan.”

As soon as they entered the tent, the young man they had met before walked up with a smile.

”Brother Diao!”

”Young Master Diao.”

Fang Yu was not polite; he directly pointed at the chairs in the tent.

”Come in, have a seat, have a seat. Young Master Nanyuan really made us wait. We were just talking about you.”

Nanyuan En found a place to sit, and when he heard this, his heart gave a little jolt.

His gaze shifted toward the woman who, from the moment they arrived, had been cutting open corpses, her face splattered with blood yet remaining expressionless, and he said:

”Oh? I wonder how Brother Diao and Divine Doctor Ding have been speaking of me?”

”Hahaha! How would we dare? We were only thinking that, among the four talents of Da Liang, the other three have all already paid us a visit. With night already fallen, we were wondering if Young Master Nanyuan’s thoughts differed from the other three families, and you had decided not to come.”

Nanyuan En was starting to feel a bit impatient.

Because ever since he arrived, Fang Yu had been the one talking to him, while the true key figure hadn’t spared him a single glance.

Letting out two dry laughs, Nanyuan En said, ”Brother Diao, I’ll be blunt. No matter what price others have offered you, believe me, our Nanyuan Family is the one with the greatest sincerity!”

”What price? Young Master Nanyuan, that’s a bit of a misunderstanding.”

Fang Yu raised his hands in an exaggerated manner.

Sitting beside Nanyuan En, Hong Yanxia had been drinking water the whole time, looking as if her mind were wandering elsewhere, seemingly not interested in the matter at all.

Because when the other three families had come earlier, they had all offered tempting terms to Fang Yu and Ding Hui in hopes of cooperation.

But none of them got any response; the key figure didn’t even speak to them directly—Fang Yu handled all the talks on their behalf.

So in Hong Yanxia’s view, the two of them were now sitting firmly on their high ground, holding a trump card, not worrying about partners and not worrying about when to cooperate. This visit from Nanyuan En would surely be met with a closed door first. After ten days to half a month of grinding things down, maybe there would be the slightest sign of loosening.

As for whether Divine Doctor Ding could finish developing the antidote within that ten days to half a month, Hong Yanxia had no idea.

”Brother Diao! Our Nanyuan Family has come with immense sincerity. Say nothing else—just show this to Divine Doctor Ding first. I believe that once she’s seen it, she will be willing to cooperate with our Nanyuan Family!”

”No! I should say, in all of Da Liang City, if there is one family most suited to cooperate with Divine Doctor Ding, it can only be our Nanyuan Family!”

Nanyuan En’s voice quietly rose, his tone turning more agitated, all in hopes of drawing Ding Hui’s attention on the other side.

Unfortunately, it had no effect.

Fang Yu took the item Nanyuan En handed over. After a careful look, his expression grew more solemn.

Because what Nanyuan En had given him was a vial of medicine, filled with a greenish liquid.

”Could this be…”

”Exactly!”

Nanyuan En cut in immediately, nodding firmly.

”Alright, I’ll go show it to my wife.”

Nanyuan En’s actions today had already spread throughout Da Liang City.

Their public testing of drugs on patients had carried an obvious intention of making a big show.

It was just that an accident occurred, so the news had somewhat tarnished the Nanyuan Family’s reputation.

Even so, the benefits still outweighed the drawbacks.

While the other great families had yet to produce an effective plan, the Nanyuan Family was already developing an antidote and could even produce a tangible product; that alone put them far ahead.

If Ding Hui had not appeared, it would have been flawless.

Of course, even now, things were not that bad.

If they could settle this matter, all the hidden dangers and bad reputation sown today would be swept away in an instant, and their Nanyuan Family would become Da Liang City’s… savior!

”Hm?”

Ding Hui, who had been ignoring Nanyuan En all along, suddenly let out a light sound when she saw the medicine.

She stopped what she was doing, shook the vial, then decisively pulled out the wooden stopper and poured a small amount of the liquid onto the organs of the corpse she had just been working on.

Frowning as she observed the subtle changes in the organ, she lowered her head in thought for a moment, then suddenly ran to the table in the back, took out a few bottles of medicine and a silver-colored bean, and focused intently on working over the corpse’s organs.

Seeing the change in Ding Hui, Fang Yu wanted to say something, but just before speaking, he suddenly closed his mouth.

He was very familiar with this state of Ding Hui’s—it was precisely that moment when she suddenly gained an insight and inspiration burst forth.

Fang Yu made a gesture for the other two to keep quiet, then walked over to Nanyuan En’s side and waited together with him.

The scene fell into silence, with only the sounds of clinking vials and various tools echoing inside.

By Fang Yu’s sense of time, after about a dozen minutes, Ding Hui stopped.

It wasn’t that her research had ended, but that…

The medicine was used up.

”Another bottle.”

Ding Hui looked at Nanyuan En and spoke to him for the first time.

An opportunity!

Nanyuan En immediately jumped to his feet, excitedly saying, ”Divine Doctor Ding, this is our first meeting, I am from the Nanyuan Family…”

”Do you have more, or not?”

”…”

Nanyuan En was cut off on the spot, looking a bit stunned, but he quickly reacted, hurriedly taking out another vial and tossing it over.

”I only brought two bottles. If Divine Doctor Ding needs more, you can come back with me to the Nanyuan Family. This Heart Easing Agent is a Detoxification Potion our Nanyuan Family specially developed to resolve the Lin Family’s poison. Although it’s only in the initial trial stage, it has already produced some reaction against this poison…”

Nanyuan En had done his homework.

He had learned some information about the Detoxification Agent from his family’s doctors. He might not be able to explain anything too deep, but giving this level of explanation was no problem.

However, Ding Hui was no longer paying him any attention.

She poured out a bit of the medicine in her hand and began researching again.

Nanyuan En’s voice accordingly trailed off.
