I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 1186: Chapter 1185: Will He Also Have to Make the Trip?

The path that Hou Baiyu took was the most important and the most dangerous. Naturally, the Hou Family chose trusted individuals to take it. Unexpectedly, Hou Baiyu unwittingly got caught up in it, so Mr. Hou discussed the matter with the Fu Family and Qingyu and could only send someone to take the path anew.

The first choice for this task was Fu Xuan Ge, of course. Mrs. Hou knew of this child’s capabilities, although they were somewhat inferior to Hou Baiyu’s. But being just a mere step away from Spiritual Talisman, he was quite an outstanding child, especially considering he was only seven or eight years old.

This matter still needed to be discussed with the Fu Family, as it was extremely dangerous.

As expected, the Fu Family was unwilling to let Fu Xuan Ge take the risk. Fu Xuan Ge was not like Zu Yan Jing Yuanxi, mere cannon fodder sent here; he was truly cherished by the family, and any mishap would cause pain to the entire family.

Despite the Fu Family’s reluctance, Fu Xuan Ge wanted to take the path. He was friends with Hou Baiyu and had been involved since the mission’s onset, and now such bizarre events had occurred.

Although young, Fu Xuan Ge’s words carried some weight. After negotiating with the family’s elders, it was ultimately decided that he would take the path.

”You must act within your capacity; retreat quickly if anything seems amiss!” The elders of the Fu Family had been urging him all evening.

Fu Xuan Ge was so tired of hearing it that his ears were practically calloused.

Around eight o’clock, Fu Xuan Ge hurried back to sleep in his room, forcing himself to rest to save his ears from further torment.

At two in the morning, Fu Xuan Ge opened his bedroom door. Besides the Fu Family members, the Hou Family members were present as well. Seeing this scene, he sighed inwardly. To say he wasn’t nervous would be a lie; now he was even more anxious.

Both he and Luo Yirui had their hand-drawn maps, while Hou Baiyu preferred to memorize rather than write things down, forcing himself to explore the routes anew.

This time, however, both the Hou Family and the Fu Family demanded he memorize everything without leaving any written traces. Fu Xuan Ge understood why—should he be captured, he’d leave no evidence behind.

The Fu Family was worried to death, but weakening the Nie Family this time had to succeed; otherwise, after the Nie Family dealt with the Modern Family, it would be the turn of their Ancient Family.

Forming an alliance with the Modern Family had never been considered. Would adults choose to ally with children? Of course not!

The Nie Family’s secret base was quite peculiar, and only after long investigations and many infiltrations did the Ancient Family gather some information about it.

Within the base, the pipelines and other pathways were extraordinarily narrow, and some areas, like places storing vital information, had only a tiny hole for entry and exit.

Such construction was largely unreasonable. The Ancient Family couldn’t fathom why they designed it this way. To enter, one had to be a child, no older than twelve, and slim enough to enter.

That’s why such a dangerous task fell to Hou Baiyu and the other young individuals. Firstly, they met the entry requirements; secondly, they were elite among elites, possessing outstanding skills and adaptability beyond their years, greatly increasing the chances of success.

Yet Hou Baiyu’s recent injury worried Mrs. Hou so much that she went a whole day and night without eating.

Fu Xuan Ge set off, and after his departure, neither the Fu Family nor the Hou Family could sleep soundly.

Luo Yirui leaned against the window, gazing at the night outside, thinking about Fu Xuan Ge’s mission. If Fu Xuan Ge failed, would he also have to take the path?
