Chapter 40 - Knocking on the Door Late at Night

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As the night deepened, the entire Yuzhou City fell silent.

The hazy moonlight shone through the window.

Zhao Qingmei said sternly, “Brother, you can’t believe what that old monk said.”

Buddhism was not as good as many people imagined, but it was not as evil as the people who said bad things about Buddhism. Once the forest was big, there would be all kinds of birds.

No one knew if the old monk would bewitch An Jing and convert to Buddhism.

After all, An Jing was just an ordinary doctor. What if he was bewitched by the old monk’s scheming words?

“What are you thinking?”

An Jing said angrily, “Why would I be a monk? Would I let you be a widow alone?”

“Brother, I knew you wouldn’t leave me behind.”

Zhao Qingmei smiled and wrapped her arms around An Jing’s neck.

Her exquisite face and limpid eyes, especially those red lips, made one want to kiss her.

Knock Knock!

“Is Doctor An here?”

…

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

Zhao Qingmei glanced outside the door and said, “Someone is knocking at the door in the middle of the night. It must be something important. Husband, hurry and take a look.”

An Jing frowned and quickly walked to the front hall and opened the door.

“Doctor An, please go and take a look. My mistress has contracted a strange disease. It’s very serious.”

The person who came was the Cao Family’s butler. He had also come to the Ji Shi Hall once or twice to grab the medicine.

The Cao Family was extraordinary. They were one of the four great families of Jiangnan Dao. Cao Anmin was a member of the Cao Family.

“Got it. I’ll prepare the first-aid kit.”

An Jing nodded, then turned and walked into the house.

“Darling, I have to go out for consultation. You should rest first.”

“Hold on, let Third Master go with you.”

“Forget it, I can go myself.”

An Jing looked in the direction of Li Fuzhou’s residence. The lights were still on. This old fellow was probably going to stay up all night to study the erotic art.

“No. Let him go with you,” Zhao Qingmei insisted.

Creak!

Li Fuzhou walked out and looked at An Jing calmly. “I’ll go with Young Master.”

“Third Master, sorry to trouble you.”

“No trouble.”

When An Jing saw this, he did not say anything in the end. He simply packed up and left with the Cao Family’s housekeeper.

Zhao Qingmei put on a coat and watched them leave.

Tan Yun asked, “Miss, did you ask Master to follow him because you’re afraid…?”

“Do you know who Monk Huizhi is?” Zhao Qingmei asked.

Tan Yun thought for a while and said, “The abbot of Fa Xi Monastery probably knows some Buddhist martial arts, but there isn’t any internal energy leaking from his body. He should be an expert. I think he should at least be an expert like the devil’s face.”

It was rare to see an ancient temple like the Fa Xi Monastery in Great Yan. Moreover, a host had suddenly come from the Western Regions. This was somewhat strange.

Zhao Qingmei said slowly, “That old monk said his name is Huizhi and he’s from Leiyin Monastery. Leiyin Monastery is a Buddhist Zen sect, so there are many differences between the Dharma names of Great Yan and Great Yan. However, Great Yan’s Dharma name should be called Fazhi.”

“Fazhi? It’s him?”

When Tan Yun heard these two words, her heart trembled. “The head of Leiyin Monastery, Monk Fazhi. He is a true expert of Zen Sect, but he actually came to Fa Xi Monastery to be the abbot?”

The Head Prefect of the Leiyin Monastery, Monk Fa Zhi, was a well-known figure.

The arrival of an expert from the Zen Sect to preside over the declining swallows of Buddhism was even more unbelievable. What was his purpose for this trip?

How could this not make one’s imagination run wild?

“Xiaoyun, do you feel it?” Zhao Qingmei suddenly asked.

“What?”

“I feel that the bottleneck that has been stagnant recently is starting to loosen.”

“Me… me too. But what does it matter?”

Zhao Qingmei’s eyes turned gloomy and she remained silent.

…

Inside the Cao Family residence, although the night was getting darker, the hall was brightly lit.

“Madam, Doctor An is here.”

“Quick, let him take a look,” urged the old lady who had been waiting for a long time.

An Jing was brought directly to Miss Cao’s bedroom.

At this moment, the room of the Cao Family’s young lady was filled with several doctors. They were all famous doctors in Yuzhou City. At this moment, they were all frowning as if they were discussing something in low voices.

When the few doctors saw An Jing enter, they took a glance at him and continued discussing.

“Madam, this…”

An Jing raised an eyebrow.

In Yan Country, Confucianism was prevalent. It was said that men and women should not touch each other, especially the women in the bedroom. If news of this were to spread, it would not be good.

“Saving her is more important.” The Old Madam could not care less about anything else at the moment and immediately said.

“Okay.”

An Jing nodded and went to Cao Ling’er’s bed.

At that moment, Cao Ling’er’s face was pale and her forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat. It was as if she was in great pain.

Old Lady Cao said, “Ever since Ling’er returned from the Fa Xi Monastery, she has been feeling cold all over. The internal energy in her body has also been frozen. Even if I transfer all my internal energy into her body, it won’t help.”

Li Fuzhou stood beside Cao Ling’er and swept his gaze across her. He immediately felt strange. The Yin and Yang Qi on her body had deviated.

Women were born with heavy Yin Qi, but this woman’s Yin Qi was abnormally dense and had reached a critical point. In his impression, only people who cultivated Yin Qi cultivation techniques would have such heavy Yin Qi in their bodies.

Other than that, the flying corpses of the corpse controllers in the southwestern Southern Barbaric Mountain Range would have such dense Yin Qi.

“It’s fine for this doctor to take a look at the cold. How can he solve such a complicated illness?” Li Fuzhou frowned as he thought to himself.

It was not that he looked down on An Jing, but this kind of condition was no longer a normal illness.

If An Jing was a famous doctor in the martial world, he might have a chance to try. Unfortunately, he was only a slightly famous doctor in Yuzhou City. He did not mix in the martial world, and with his medical skills, it was difficult for him to do anything in the martial world.

Among the famous doctors in the Great Yan martial world, there were four famous doctors.

Among the four famous physicians in the world, one of them was intimidated by the Human Emperor and became a member of the imperial physicians. Other than that, one of the four famous physicians was known as the Poisonous Medicine King. This person was from the Demon Sect but he was not currently in the Great Yan Kingdom.

Because of that, the two of them became extremely famous and respected.

An Jing stretched out two fingers and gently placed them on Cao Ling’er’s pulse. Instantly, a chill surged out from her pulse. It felt as if he had touched ice.

So cold!

There seemed to be a wave of ice in this woman’s body that froze her blood and bones. Even the Yang qi in her body was frozen.

If not for the fact that Cao Ling’er’s cultivation base was at Rank Five and that Old Madam Cao and the other experts had injected their internal energy into her, she would have long been turned into a corpse.

This was the sign of Yin Qi entering Cao Ling’er’s body. The Yin Qi entering Cao Ling’er’s body was slightly more than the baneful aura that invaded An Jing’s body that day.

But why was she tainted by Yin Qi? Could it be Fa Xi Monastery?

Fa Xi Monastery was a Buddhist temple, how could it have evil energy?
