Medical and Martial God

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: The Man Who Caught Huang Quan’s Blade and Didn’t Die

Ye Xiu and Qin Qing followed Gong Jin to the top floor by elevator. On the way up, Qin Qing was extremely nervous, her heart pounding as if it were about to leap out of her throat. The pressure from Gong Jin was immense, so much so that she felt she might lose Ye Xiu at any moment.

”Please, come in.” Gong Jin opened the office door and gestured for them to enter. After Ye Xiu and Qin Qing stepped inside, Gong Jin followed and locked the door behind them.

Seeing this, Qin Qing grew even more nervous. It’s just a casual chat. Is locking the door really necessary?

However, Gong Jin’s next action struck Qin Qing like a bolt from the blue.

”Subordinate Gong Jin greets the Young Master and Young Mistress,” she said respectfully, kneeling on one knee.

”Ah?” Qin Qing was dumbstruck, her face a picture of bewilderment. Subordinate?

”Rise.” Ye Xiu helped Gong Jin up before taking Qin Qing’s hand and leading her to a sofa in the living area.

By now, Qin Qing had recovered her senses. She looked at Ye Xiu in shock and asked, ”Don’t tell me Ming Feng Tower is also yours?”

”It is.” Ye Xiu nodded. Like Mo Luo and the Ghost Doctor, Gong Jin was one of his Thirteen Protecters.

Qin Qing was flabbergasted.

Ming Feng Tower was an international intelligence center. Its scale was immense, its resources vast, and its background so mysterious that even the official families of various nations were leagues behind it.

Such a colossal entity, far more valuable than Zhulu Group, is also his? My God! What on earth did Ye Xiu do during those ten years abroad?

”How’s it going?” Ye Xiu asked, a question that completely baffled Qin Qing.

”Have a look.” Gong Jin turned on the TV, and a live surveillance feed appeared on the screen. In the footage, an ordinary-looking old man was squatting in a corner of Ming Feng Tower’s underground parking garage.

”It looks like he’s planning to wait there for you to come out,” Gong Jin said with a smile.

”Who is he?” Qin Qing asked curiously.

”The Blood Demon,” Ye Xiu replied.

”Who?” Qin Qing exclaimed. ”You mean the legendary Blood Demon? The one who took a direct blow from Huang Quan, survived, and even managed to escape?”

Ye Xiu nodded. ”What’s he hiding there for? He’s not planning to kill you, is he?” asked Qin Qing.

”That’s right,” Ye Xiu said with a smile.

Qin Qing panicked. The Blood Demon had become infamous even before Huang Quan. While he wasn’t as well-known, that was only because Huang Quan exclusively targeted high-profile individuals. The Blood Demon, on the other hand, would kill anyone and was known to drink his victims’ blood.

The thought of such a creature targeting Ye Xiu was terrifying.

”Young Mistress, you needn’t worry. For the Young Master, killing the Blood Demon is as easy as slaughtering a pig,” Gong Jin said, trying to reassure the nervous Qin Qing with a smile.

”I’m a postgraduate student. You can’t fool me,” Qin Qing retorted. ”If even Huang Quan couldn’t kill the Blood Demon, how could Ye Xiu possibly defeat him?”

Gong Jin smiled without replying. I obviously can’t tell her that Ye Xiu is Huang Quan, can I? I don’t dare say it. Ye Xiu hasn’t mentioned it himself, and revealing it would be a capital offense!

”Keep a close eye on him. We can’t let him escape again this time, no matter what,” Ye Xiu instructed. He now knew where the Blood Demon was hiding and could theoretically go capture him, but he wasn’t confident. The Blood Demon’s escape techniques were simply too brilliant. If he managed to slip away again, he would be incredibly difficult to find.

”You can rest assured,” Gong Jin said confidently.

”Good.” Ye Xiu nodded. ”Oh, right. From now on, if Luo Qiwei or the Yang Family come to buy intelligence, double the price.”

”Understood,” Gong Jin nodded.

Ye Xiu stood up and turned to Qin Qing. ”Shall we go home?”

”Okay!” Qin Qing quickly got to her feet. She didn’t want to spend another minute here. Even though Gong Jin was Ye Xiu’s subordinate, she still felt immense pressure.

Watching Ye Xiu’s retreating figure, a trace of melancholy flashed through Gong Jin’s beautiful eyes. Like Chloe and the other twenty servants, I have always been deeply in love with Ye Xiu. And yet, he’s never given me a second glance. I don’t understand. What do I lack compared to Qin Qing?

Both Ye Xiu and Qin Qing had driven there. Instead of going to the underground garage for his own car, Ye Xiu left with Qin Qing in hers. His car was still in the garage, being watched by the Blood Demon, and he didn’t want a confrontation just yet.

On the way home, Qin Qing couldn’t help but ask, ”Why does the Blood Demon want to kill you?”

”I lured him here,” said Ye Xiu.

”Are you insane? Did you get kicked by a donkey or get your head caught in a door? Why would you lure him here? Do you have a death wish?” Qin Qing scolded angrily.

”I wanted to ask him for a favor,” Ye Xiu replied.

”What favor?” Qin Qing asked.

Ye Xiu just smiled and said nothing. The matter he needed the Blood Demon for was top secret, just like the origins of his Medical Skills and Kung Fu. It was something he couldn’t tell anyone.

Seeing that Ye Xiu wouldn’t say more, Qin Qing didn’t bother to ask. She suddenly remembered something else and fumed, ”You cheated on me, and you still have the audacity to come home?”

Ye Xiu was dumbfounded. What kind of logic is that? We were having a perfectly normal conversation, and suddenly she brings this up? She gets into character way too fast!

He explained, ”The girl’s name is Murong. She’s my student and also the Blood Demon’s granddaughter. I needed to use her to lure him out.”

”So you slept with her?” Qin Qing demanded.

”I did not.”

”And I’m supposed to believe you just because you say so?”

”I have evidence.”

”What evidence?”

”I’ll show you when we get home.”

Meanwhile, in the underground garage of Ming Feng Tower, the Blood Demon was squatting like a statue in a dark corner, his eyes fixed on Ye Xiu’s car. He was one hundred percent certain he could kill Ye Xiu with a single strike the moment he opened the car door.

In this world, no one who knows the method to counter me is allowed to exist.

Time crawled by as he waited. He watched as the banquet guests left one by one. Even Yun Lan and Zhu Xiaowen departed in someone else’s car, but Ye Xiu was still nowhere to be seen.

But the Blood Demon was very patient. He waited and waited until only Ye Xiu’s car remained in the underground garage. He waited until daylight, but Ye Xiu still hadn’t appeared.

Did he drink too much and take a taxi home? The Blood Demon couldn’t help but have this thought, and he nearly coughed up blood in a fit of rage. I didn’t even blink all night, keeping my whole body tense. I didn’t dare move even when mosquitoes bit me dozens of times. And in the end, it was all for fucking nothing!

So, the Blood Demon left the underground garage, found something to eat, and then took a taxi to Saint He Medical College.

Wearing a mask, he squatted on the curb at the school’s entrance, confident that he could kill Ye Xiu with a single blow the moment he appeared.

Another long wait began.

At 8:30 AM, a convertible sports car rocketed into Saint He Medical College as if it were on stimulants.

”WHAT THE FUCK...” The Blood Demon scrambled to his feet, staring after the car, his composure completely shattering.

The sports car was incredibly fast, but I still saw who was driving! It was Ye Xiu! Damn it all! Didn’t Murong say he takes a taxi to the college every day? Why is he driving today?
