Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

News of Cao Gang’s headquarters being massacred quickly spread throughout Yuzhou City.

It could be said that a single stone stirred up a thousand waves, stirring up heavenly shocking waves.

Squadrons of constables wore bamboo hats and raincoats as they moved through the streets and alleys in the heavy rain, searching for the whereabouts of peerless swordsmen. It had to be known that these peerless swordsmen were not only wanted criminals of Cao Gang, but also wanted criminals of the Imperial Court.

“To think that Tie Yunshan would die just like that!”

“Looks like his saber isn’t fast!”

“He managed to massacre the Yuzhou’s headquarters overnight. This swordsman is too terrifying.”

“Tie Yunshan has truly provoked someone he shouldn’t have.”

“I never thought that someone like Tie Yunshan would die so easily.”

“Who is this swordsman?”

“Is his an expert from the Alioth Sword Sect?”

“My guess is that he might be the successor of Sword Magician.”

“Someone like him is simply too amazing.”

…

In the teahouse and restaurant, everyone was discussing softly.

Most people were amazed by the bloodbath at Yuzhou’s headquarters. They were curious about the strength of the peerless swordsman.

“You guys didn’t know? I heard that the swordsman is a Demon Sect expert,” whispered someone.

“What?!”

When the surrounding people heard that, they revealed shocked expressions.

Demon Sect!

An existence that could make one’s expression change!

“Is this true?”

“Of course it’s true. My second uncle is the coroner of the government. He told me himself that this swordsman is the new expert of the Demon Sect.”

“So this person is an expert from the Demon Sect. I was wondering why he was so bold to even dare to rob the dungeon.”

“I’ve also heard some rumors. It’s said that Cao Gang has already sent out invitations, and they want to discuss how to kill this person during the Yulanpen Festival of Fa Xi Monastery.”

“Now that the Demon Sect has returned, I’m afraid there will be another bloodbath.”

…

The rumors became more and more shocking.

Meanwhile, An Jing, who was thought to be the swordsman because of a black shirt, had a new identity as a Demon Sect expert after that.

At the same time, on the ranking of the Great Yan World, the black-shirted man had killed Tie Yunshan and was placed 37th. Another Demon Sect expert had entered the ranking too.

It was like a spark that silently ignited the entire Great Yan martial world and the royal court.

In an instant, the entire Great Yan martial world was in turmoil.

…

In Ji Shi Hall…

“Doctor Little An, my body!”

A middle-aged man looked at An Jing with a pale face.

“As the saying goes, nourishment is better than medicine. Although the effects of these medicines are faster, you should pay more attention to your daily diet.”

With that, An Jing walked to the medicine cabinet and started to grab the herbs.

“Thank you, Doctor An,” the middle-aged man said gratefully.

Recently, the summer turned into autumn, and the seasons change caused the number of patients to increase.

An Jing had been sitting in the clinic for four hours without taking a break. At this moment, Tan Yun said that she was going to the harbor to pick up her Third Master, while Zhao Qingmei was concocting medicine in the back hall.

Hence, An Jing was the only one who was in charge of the consultation today. He had to see the patients and dispense medicine.

“Next!” An Jing took a sip of tea.

The woman was delighted to hear this. She had been queuing for almost an hour and it was finally her turn.

“Make way, make way.”

Just as the woman was about to step forward, a young man stepped in front of her.

“How can you…”

The woman was just about to express her displeasure when she saw the burly man’s figure and immediately swallowed her words.

She recognized this person. His name was Song Lin. He was a famous local ruffian who was good at scamming and cheating. He was the kind who did everything except good.

Song Lin sat down. “Doctor An, I’m here to help my friend.”

“One of my friends said that his palms were always sweaty and he felt tired, especially when he was involved in sex.”

When An Jing saw this, he understood that the friend he had mentioned was non-existent.

“Hold out your hand,” An Jing said lightly.

Song Lin stretched out his palm, which was already covered in sweat.

An Jing took his pulse.

Sure enough, it was a Kidney problem.

“Doctor Little An, how is it?” The young man asked nervously.

“It’s nothing serious. Your friend might be a little weak. It’ll be fine after some rest.”

An Jing then walked to the medicine cabinet, grabbed some herbs, and wrapped them in a piece of paper.

“This is half a month’s worth of medicine. Together with the medical fee, it’s 500 coins!”

“500 coins!?”

Song Lin’s expression changed drastically when she heard this. “Doctor Little An, in the past, it was only 30 copper coins. How come it’s 500 now?”

An Jing said angrily, “That’s my price. It’s up to you.”

“Hmph!”

Song Lin sneered and snatched the paper from An Jing’s hand. “Are you trying to play dirty with me?”

“What, are you planning to walk away without paying?”

An Jing sized up Song Lin and said lazily, “Kid, it’s not that I’m bragging, but the people who played with me have all been defeated.”

Seeing this scene, Song Lin could not help but laugh. “Aiyo, I’m so scared. What should I do?”

A little doctor was actually playing such tricks in front of him?

He was a professional at bluffing.

“What happened?”

Seemingly having heard the commotion, Zhao Qingmei lifted the curtain and walked out.

The moment Zhao Qingmei appeared, Song Lin’s eyes lit up and she chuckled. “I’ve long heard that Doctor An’s wife is as beautiful as a fairy. I never expected it to be true.”

Zhao Qingmei frowned and said, “You either pay or leave the herbs behind. Don’t hinder others.”

“I want this herb, and I don’t want to give you money. What should I do?” Song Lin waved the herb in his hand as if he was determined to eat it.

Slap!

“Ouch!”

At that moment, a huge palm swept over and landed heavily on Song Lin’s head.

Immediately, Song Lin felt as if he had been hit by an iron ball. It hurt so much that he cried out loudly. His body swayed and he almost lost his balance.

“Who!?”

Song Lin rubbed the back of his head and turned around to see an old man.

The old man’s face was full of wrinkles. Gray spots covered his face, but his eyes had a hint of divine light. Although his clothes were tattered and had been washed until they were white, his clothes were meticulous, as if he was born with a sense of righteousness.

“At such a young age, it’s the time to study hard and work hard, yet you don’t learn well! How sad! How sad!”

“Who are you!?” Song Lin cried out in pain.

The old man clasped his hands together and cupped his fists at Song Lin. “My name is Li Fuzhou!”

Song Lin swallowed his saliva. He seemed to be intimidated by Li Fuzhou. “You… Why did you hit me?”

Li Fuzhou snorted and said, “I hit you because you didn’t follow the rules. I hit you because you don’t know your manners! The Sage once said: See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, move no evil. Have you already forgotten?”

Speaking up to this point, Li Fuzhou actually turned to look at the others and started lecturing them. “I hope everyone doesn’t learn from him and become a person who doesn’t know his limits and has no manners. In the future, use this person as a warning to wake yourself up.”

Li Fuzhou was like an old-fashioned teacher. He was serious, strict and meticulous.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded subconsciously.

Song Lin’s face turned red and green from the old man’s words.

“I’ll give you 500 yuan.”

In the end, Song Lin threw down half a tael of silver.

He did not dare to go too far. Others might not know, but he knew very well that Han Wenxin had already privately told him not to cause trouble in the Ji Shi Hall.

“Third Master, you’re here.” At this moment, Zhao Qingmei chuckled and nodded.

Li Fuzhou’s expression turned serious. He straightened his clothes, cupped his fists, and bent over meticulously.

“Miss!”

“Li Fuzhou pays his respects!”
