"I can't see through it." Sun Chun put down the teacup in his hand and replied immediately.

"I'm going to town soon. Are you coming with me?" Xia Li asked tentatively.

"What for?" Sun Chun stood up, standing under the tree's shade, and looked at the big tree in front of him.

"Go look at the Grand Master Ding, then go get the twenty painkillers from his hands." After Xia Li finished speaking, he stood up, intending to return to his room to clean up.

"Let's go together, I'll wait for you outside the door." Sun Chun said as he walked out of the door.

Xia Li went back to his room, changed his clothes, smiled in satisfaction in front of the copper mirror, and walked out.

Sun Chun stood at the door, listening to the activities in the courtyard. He looked over and was stunned, but when Xia Li blinked his eyes, he was still caught off guard.

Xia Li looked at Sun Chun who was in a daze, and threw himself into's embrace, hugging his neck tightly, and giggled.

"How is it? Do you like my outfit?" Xia Li's eyes flickered with bright starlight as he asked Sun Chun in anticipation.

Upon hearing the word "like", the alarm in Sun Chun's heart was rung once again. Not long ago, Lee's had asked her when she would be betrothed to Xia Li …

But now, he couldn't give her any promises.

"As long as you like it." Sun Chun put away the smile on his face, hugged Xia Li's waist, and placed her on the ground, maintaining a safe distance from her.

Xia Li looked at Sun Chun who stood in front of him with a puzzled expression. He felt as if he had been pushed from heaven to hell, and was a little disappointed: "After experiencing so much, you still don't like me."

She couldn't help but mutter what was on her mind.

Sun Chun stood still for a moment as his sorrowful voice made him feel as if he was unable to catch the person in front of him.

Looking at the stubborn Xia Li in front of him, Sun Chun sighed lightly. Her eyes revealed a trace of coldness, she quietly glanced at the alleyway's entrance, and a black shadow quickly hid himself.

A silver needle flew out from Sun Chun's sleeve, and from the corner of the alleyway, a muffled groan could be heard, and very quickly, the needle stopped moving.

As the two of them walked out of the Tianshui Village realm, the streets were still filled with streams of people, who continuously hawked their wares. It was a bustling scene.

Xia Li passed through the bustling crowd and arrived at Ding Liang's hospital. The hospital gate in front of him was tightly shut, the door was filled with beggars, and some hawkers even directly placed their stalls next to's hospital. Xia Li was stunned, she had never thought that Ding Liang's hospital would be in such a dilapidated state after not seeing him for a few days.

Sun Chun stood behind Xia Li, and scanned the crowd, looking around the crowd. There were still people following them secretly, but he and Xia Li were being followed again.

"Follow me, don't make a sound." Sun Chun walked out, and wrapped his arms around her waist, and whispered into her ear.

Xia Li was shocked by Sun Chun's sudden intimate gesture. He looked around cautiously and followed him into the alley. When he reached the deepest part of the alley, he realized that he had no other choice. There was only a wall at the end of the alley.

"Stop hiding and come out. Aren't you tired after following us all the way?" Sun Chun shouted out loud, sensing the fear of the person in his embrace, he tightened his grip on his waist.

Sun Chun said.

Five young men in dark clothes scuttled out from the alley they were hiding in. Without even greeting them, they pulled out their daggers and stabbed it towards Xia Li's chest.

Sun Chun's sleeves flew, and as the four silver needles flew out, there were a few crisp ding sounds as the four daggers fell to the ground.

The few of them looked at each other, then squatted on the ground and picked up their daggers once again. Sun Chun once again threw out four to five silver needles, which directly smashed into the faces of the four people.

"Are they dead?"

Xia Li looked at the few people on the ground and asked softly.

"No, sealing their acupoints would require a day's sleep before they would wake up. But this time, it will take a long time to seal their acupoints, so they might end up suffering from life-long headaches. If they want to do bad things, they basically don't have time."

Sun Chun said coldly.

"Your attack this time wasn't light either." Xia Li listened and frowned.

"They followed us from the Tianshui Village all the way to town. They didn't take their lives. As Sun Chun said that, he kicked the person lying on the ground, bent down to rummage through the body of the person beside him, and took out a letter and a cheque for one hundred silver.

"This person is an assassin hired by Rich Man Yang's father. He wants to spend a hundred silver coins to take your head." Sun Chun showed the opened envelope to Xia Li.

Hearing this, Xia Li trembled in fear, and angrily clenched his fists.

"Alright, let's go." Sun Chun dried his hands and threw away the dagger where he stood, then pulled Xia Li with him as he quickly walked out of the alley. Right when they were about to pass through Ding Liang's hospital, a little beggar suddenly threw himself into Xia Li's embrace, placed a rectangular box into Xia Li's embrace and ran in the blink of an eye without giving her any time to react.

Xia Li still wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Sun Chun.

"Be careful, there's a trap in there. Take the box and we'll go back first."

Xia Li thought for a moment, looked at the nearby Ding Liang, and shook his head.

"I'll take the box first. After a while, I still need to go to Grand Master Ding's hospital to take a look."

Sun Chun looked at Xia Li's guilty face, nodded his head, and agreed. Then, he pulled Xia Li's hand and together, they arrived at Ding Liang's hospital entrance.

The hospital had long been locked, it was covered with dust and spiderwebs, giving off a desolate feeling, Xia Li stood outside the door, staring at everything in front of him, his eyes a little red.

Sun Chun secretly looked around at his surroundings, approaching Xia Li's side and warned him in a low voice.

"I know you're feeling terrible right now, but you shouldn't stay here any longer. Follow me." Sun Chun said as he pulled Xia Li away.

"I don't want to go yet. I want to stay a while longer." Xia Li waved his hand, and took a big step back. The red striped box that he was carrying fell to the ground, a dozen or so red round medicine pills popping out of the box and landing on the ground.

"It's a painkiller!"

Xia Li instantly shouted out, squatting down and picking up the pills one by one, when she placed them back inside the box, she saw a folded piece of paper inside the box, and then opened up the letter.

Sun Chun lowered his head to look at the painkillers in the long box, his gaze gloomy and unreadable.

After an unknown period of time, Xia Li raised his head from the letter, as if he had put down the heavy burden in his heart.

To Sun Chun, she smiled lightly.

"Grand Master Ding gave me back all twenty painkillers, and in the letter he apologized to me, saying that his abilities are limited, and he will not be able to continue working with me in the future. He was very afraid that Rich Man Yang would come and find trouble with him again, and had already brought his family members away from the Red River Town, and moved to live elsewhere."

"This is actually quite a good result. This way, Grand Master Ding will no longer have to live a life of worry and fear."

"Let's go back, your mother and your brother are still waiting for you at home."

The latter nodded and left Sun Chun's embrace. She then looked around and the two left.

At dawn, after finishing breakfast, Xia Li, who had just walked out of his room, was startled by the group of people outside his door.

Xia Li didn't recognize anyone who had come looking for her, but when she smelled the stench of alcohol from the leader, she took a step back in disgust.

"Miss Xia Li, we are members of the gold bet house, the God of Fortune has invited us here to ask for a pain-relieving medicine from you. We can buy one for a hundred silver coins, but the God of Fortune's father is in critical danger, his illness is very painful, I hope you can be merciful."

Xia Li felt like retching in his heart. Sun Chun walked out of the room and stood shoulder to shoulder with Xia Li.

"We have no medicine." Xia Li looked at the approaching person in alert, and leaned towards Sun Chun.

" "This …" The leader looked at Xia Li with a face full of anger, he rolled his eyes and tried to threaten: "Miss Xia Li, you are going against the God of Fortune, what benefits can you get? If you still want to gain a foothold in this Red River Town, I advise you to be tactful. "

Xia Li stood at his original position and laughed instead of getting angry.

The man looked at Sun Chun who was standing beside Xia Li, with a gloomy face, he led his subordinates and retreated.

Xia Li's body was actually trembling, as he nervously grabbed onto Sun Chun's hand.

"You don't have to be afraid, I'm here." Sun Chun clearly felt Xia Li's fear, and held her hand back.

Rich Man Yang laid on his sickbed, moaning in pain, the servant girl beside him carefully helped him drink the medicine with the soup, just at that moment, there was a knock on the door, he pushed the servant girl away, and the medicine bowl shattered on the floor.

"Come in …" Rich Man Yang struggled to sit up, and shouted to the people outside.

The door opened, and the subordinate who had asked Xia Li for medicine earlier kneeled in front of Rich Man Yang and replied fearfully.

"Master, yesterday, we sent a few brothers to surround Xia Li, but they were beaten up by the man beside her, and now they are all useless people. When I went to ask for medicine today, I was also mercilessly rejected by Xia Li, and none of us are her match."

"Trash!" They are all trash! " Rich Man Yang struggled as he reached out to pat the head of his subordinate who was kneeling on the ground, only to end up empty-handed. His entire body fell directly to the ground.

"Master, how are you?" The subordinate kneeling on the ground didn't dare to go over and could only ask this from a safe distance.

"Trash …" "Help me up." Rich Man Yang laid on the ground. He had no choice but to retract his fierce look and call for his subordinates to help him.

Carefully, this subordinate walked over and, together with a servant girl, helped Rich Man Yang to his bed.

"My father... Cough … Rich Man Yang couldn't help but cough when he asked about his own father.

"Old Man …" "The disease on his body has returned, smashing the room into a mess. The Old Master is actually still painfully struggling right now." The subordinate whispered.

"Carry me to my father!" Rich Man Yang shouted.

"Yes." While saying that, he carried Rich Man Yang to the room next door.

Inside the Old Master's room, all the items had been smashed into pieces and there was no place to put them. When the servants on both sides saw Rich Man Yang, they took a broom and cleaned the room.

There was a chair placed beside Old Man Yang's bed. The servant supported Rich Man Yang, and the moment he sat on the chair, Old Man Yang, who was driven mad from the pain, choked and cursed.

"Medicine..." "Painkiller!"
