Medical and Martial God

Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Young Master, Someone Poisoned the Young Madam

Dong Fangbai jumped down from the wall and said to Ye Xiu with his back to him, ”Hey, I heard you’re the Xuanse Medicine King. You must have some healing medicine on you, right? The thing is, I injured Ba Dao, and I’m here to get some medicine for him.”

Ye Xiu was beyond exasperated. This guy has turned showing off into a profession. He was clearly the one injured by Ba Dao, yet he insists he came to get healing medicine for him. This is absurd...

He said, ”It must be unpleasant having Ba Dao’s Blade Qi invading your body and rampaging through your meridians, right?”

”I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” Dong Fangbai said, his back still to Ye Xiu and his voice laced with guilt. ”Hurry up. If you don’t give me the healing medicine, Ba Dao will die.”

”Ba Dao wants to kill me. I’d rather he died,” Ye Xiu shrugged.

”You...” Dong Fangbai said, frustrated. ”Don’t worry, I won’t take your healing medicine for free. I’ll teach you a set of swordsmanship, guaranteed to let you dominate the world and be invincible.”

Ha! I could squash you like a bug. Why would I covet your swordsmanship?

”I’m not interested in your swordsmanship. How about this: you tell me your origins, and I’ll heal you.”

Ye Xiu was genuinely curious about Dong Fangbai’s origins. He had spent the last ten years roaming abroad and knew a great deal about the foreign Hidden World, but he knew little about the reclusive masters within his own country. He knew next to nothing about matters like An Dongye’s background or the origin of the Marrow Cleansing Pill auctioned in Jin Ye City.

”I’m not injured,” Dong Fangbai stubbornly insisted, refusing to admit it. ”I really did come to ask for medicine for Ba Dao.”

”Fine, fine, have it your way,” Ye Xiu said, tired of arguing with Dong Fangbai. ”Answer three of my questions, and I’ll give you the healing medicine.”

”Ask!” Dong Fangbai declared, looking up at the sky with his back still turned to Ye Xiu, striking the pose of a great master.

”Why did you kill Da Wang?”

”Who’s Da Wang?”

”The person you killed at the non-woven fabric factory.”

”He was a monster. I killed him to save you.”

Ye Xiu frowned. Although he didn’t know Dong Fangbai well, he believed that such an arrogant and pretentious man would disdain lying.

”What are your origins?” he continued.

Ye Xiu was truly curious about Dong Fangbai’s origins. The man was powerful—strong enough to single-handedly defeat Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin combined without any trouble. To possess such strength at his young age meant his background had to be extraordinary. After spending ten years abroad, Ye Xiu was intimately familiar with the reclusive masters of the foreign Hidden World, but he knew little about the ones in his own country. He didn’t even know who the master of the Eight Great National Protector War Gods was.

”I can’t answer that question. Ask another,” Dong Fangbai refused.

”Why are you in Qingfeng Road?” Ye Xiu asked.

”Looking for someone.”

”Who are you looking for?”

”My junior martial sister!”

”Who is she?”

”Dongfang Cuihua.”

??? That name is so down-to-earth, and I’ve never heard of it before!

”Any more questions?” Dong Fangbai asked.

”No.”

”The medicine?”

Suddenly, Ye Xiu jabbed a finger into Dong Fangbai’s back, startling him. He hadn’t even sensed Ye Xiu’s move; if it had been a sneak attack, he would have been dead by now. Just as he was about to dodge, he felt a warm current enter his body from the spot Ye Xiu had touched. In an instant, it completely eradicated the Blade Qi from Ba Dao that had been rampaging through his meridians.

This is astonishing! He’s truly worthy of being the Xuanse Medicine King; his medical skills are incredible.

The next moment, he whirled around, his face flushed with indignation, and sputtered, ”Who told you to eliminate the Blade Qi in my body? I—I let Ba Dao hit me on purpose! I... I can get rid of the Blade Qi myself...”

”Oh, give me a break. I’m a doctor. Do you really think I can’t tell if you’re injured?” Ye Xiu said, finding the situation both funny and exasperating. ”Ba Dao’s Blade Qi is rampaging through your body, damaging your meridians and severely injuring your internal organs. Without immediate treatment, you wouldn’t have survived more than three hours.”

Dong Fangbai gasped. You son of a bitch! You could tell all along, so why didn’t you say anything? Were you just enjoying the show, watching me make a fool of myself?

”Here,” Ye Xiu said, taking out a small bottle. He tipped out a Medicinal Pill, tossed it to Dong Fangbai, and added, ”Take this. Your injuries will be fully healed within an hour.”

With that, he turned and went back into Xia Dehe’s house to continue treating the injured Martial Artists.

Dong Fangbai stared at the door to Xia Dehe’s house, fighting the urge to kill Ye Xiu and silence him forever. My peerless art of posturing, cultivated over so many years, was shattered by Ye Xiu today. This is a stain on my record, a disgrace to my legendary career of pretension!

”Forget it. I’ll spare your life since you treated my injuries. From now on, we’re even,” Dong Fangbai muttered to himself.

He swallowed the Healing Medicine, clutched his sword, and with a single leap, shot more than ten meters away. After a few more bounds, he vanished from sight.

With nearly two hundred injured people, even with Ye Xiu’s incredible Medical Skills, it was impossible to treat everyone in a short amount of time. He had no choice but to stay at Xia Dehe’s home for lunch. To celebrate his new position as Alliance Hierarch and to properly host his guests, Xia Dehe had specially slaughtered a pig for the meal. Lunch was stewed pork.

「A little after three in the afternoon.」

Ye Xiu had finally finished treating everyone’s injuries. He walked over to a corner of the courtyard where Shen Songshan and his son had just finished digging all the soil out of the bucket with ear-scoops. ”What’s the total number of scoops?” he asked.

”Qilin, how many scoops was that?” Shen Songshan asked his son.

Shen Qilin hesitated for a moment. ”Weren’t you counting?”

”I thought you were,” Shen Songshan replied, bewildered.

The father and son stared at each other in dismay. Was all that work for nothing? The thought of Ye Xiu making them do it all over again made them want to die.

”Come on. I’ll have someone take you to a nice place to enjoy the good life,” Ye Xiu said.

As if they’d received a grand pardon, Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin scrambled to follow Ye Xiu out of Xia Dehe’s house. Shen Songshan asked, ”Where are you taking us?”

Ye Xiu signaled with his hand, and Mo Luo drove up in a car. Ye Xiu ordered, ”With the exception of Shen Monong’s family, I want every member of the Shen Family sent to the Long Family’s City Mansion today. Let them go there to beg for a living.”

As he spoke, he tapped a finger on both Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin. Within minutes, their Martial Prowess would completely dissipate.

”To where?” Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin exclaimed in shock.

”I won’t go! I refuse to go!” Shen Songshan panicked. He was still hoping to find Ba Dao and have him kill Ye Xiu. If they were sent to the Long Family’s City Mansion, the Shen Family would never have a chance to make a comeback.

Wait a minute! Ye Xiu knows where the Long Family is? Shen Songshan’s expression changed drastically. It seemed Ye Xiu was planning to get his revenge on the Long Family next.

”It’s not up to you,” Mo Luo said. He casually knocked Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin unconscious, tossed them into the trunk, and drove away.

Ye Xiu also drove away from the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Now, all he had left to do was find the Two of Hearts, and his trip to Qingfeng Road would be over.

Just then, his phone rang. It was Chloe. ”Young Master, someone poisoned the Young Madam! Luckily, we discovered it early, otherwise...”

A cold glint flashed in Ye Xiu’s eyes. ”Who did it?”

”We don’t know,” Chloe replied. ”The Young Madam had lunch with the Qin Family, and someone poisoned the red wine.”

”What kind of poison?” Ye Xiu asked.

”Tai Pan Snake Venom,” Chloe answered.

Oh? So the Two of Hearts fled to Jin Ye City. No wonder Gong Jin, Mo Luo, and Leng Yue couldn’t find her, even working together. In that case, it’s time to head back to Jin Ye City.
