Chapter 1610 - 1592
Xia Xuan became even more puzzled, "For the Demon Sword to exert its greatest power, it must have a Sword Soul."
"Yes, they didn’t get the Sword Soul but hid away. Surely something we don’t know must have happened in between, something that made them wary and forced them to hide for now?"
Nangong Yunxi gently shook his head, "These are merely our speculations, without any real evidence."
"So what should we do next?"
Xia Xuan looked at Nangong Yunxi intently, "We are at a crucial moment now."
As time passed, they had almost been back in the country for three months. Everything was already prepared; as long as they could topple the Nangong Family, it wouldn’t matter even if Chu Ge and Nangong Man Sha returned.
Once everything went according to their plan, no one would be able to stand in their way.
"We still don’t know the situation on Ru Xue’s side, but regarding the Nangong Family, Mr. Nangong seems to be suspicious of me."
Nangong Yunxi said with a frown, not knowing why recently his eyelids kept twitching, always feeling like something bad was going to happen.
Normally not superstitious, he felt anxious for the first time.
"What do you mean?" Xia Xuan looked at Nangong Yunxi worriedly, "Is it possible that you’ve had trouble adjusting to the environment here after returning home?"
Nangong Yunxi shook his head, "Mr. Nangong was originally not very supportive of my return, he only let me come back because of Nangong Man Sha, but now that I haven’t revealed Nangong Man Sha’s whereabouts and status, I think maybe that’s why he started doubting."
Xia Xuan frowned, "Should we leak some information to him then?"
Nangong Yunxi shook his head again, "To leak information to him, it must be reliable, but regarding Nangong Man Sha’s side, since she doesn’t know martial arts, I didn’t send anyone to monitor her, so I don’t know her situation."
This was why he hadn’t brought up information about Nangong Man Sha; he never mentioned matters without confidence.
Xia Xuan sighed, "So what should we do? Mr. Nangong has been involved in business for so many years; it’s impossible for him to be without any cunning. As the saying goes, ’old ginger is hotter’; if he happens to find something out and ruins our plan, we could suffer a great loss."
"That’s not entirely the case. Since we can’t provide information on Nangong Man Sha, let’s leak some information about Chu Ge to Jian Chunqiu. They’re surely eager to know the situation there."
Meanwhile, in the Fifth Space-Time.
As time ticked away, Chu Ge increasingly felt his physical condition wasn’t as good as before.
Since arriving at the Beggar Gang, he also got some Jade from Feng Luo, but such a small amount was far from sufficient for him to absorb.
As the amount absorbed increasingly grew, he felt his heart was willing, but his strength was lacking.
Today, he was walking anxiously back and forth in the courtyard, and the reason wasn’t anything else but that the investigation by Luo Qi into Vermilion Bird Star had finally made progress.
However, the people sent out to investigate hadn’t returned yet, making him very anxious.
Feng Luo sat in the corridor, legs crossed, watching Chu Ge’s anxious face, holding an apple and eating it with relish, "Even if you’re anxious, it’s no use. My father is already investigating and won’t return for two hours."
Chu Ge turned his head to look at her gloating expression and slightly shook his head, "Weren’t you supposed to attend the free clinic today? Why are you still here?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Luo spit out the apple in her mouth abruptly, "Why didn’t you say so earlier?"
She hadn’t prepared anything yet!
Chu Ge walked up to her with a smile, leaning against the pillar next to him, "What do you need to prepare? Just a table, a chair, and a pulse pillow, right?"
"..." Feng Luo gave him a sideways glance, as if those things wouldn’t run out on their own without preparation?
She quickly finished the apple in her hand and then ran off.
Watching Feng Luo’s hurried figure, Chu Ge smiled and shook his head. Since he last treated the Princess Consort, he hadn’t seen patients for some time.
He decided to follow Feng Luo to the streets to take a look; in ancient times, free clinics should be quite lively.
With this thought, Chu Ge followed the direction Feng Luo left.
Little Shunzi was dozing nearby; Chu Ge’s sudden departure startled him, making him jump before he hurriedly followed.
Watching Little Shunzi yawn repeatedly, Chu Ge said, "If you’re tired, you should go sleep."
Little Shunzi shook his head suddenly, "No."
He spoke firmly.
Chu Ge was somewhat surprised, "Why not? Isn’t it because you’re tired, or do you have something to do on the streets?"
Little Shunzi realized his tone had been a bit much, he coughed awkwardly and said, "No, actually it’s nothing, I just wanted to see what the free clinic would be like, a rare chance to see it."
Last time, he hadn’t followed Chu Ge for a short while and was caught by Ye Liang; if he didn’t follow again, Ye Liang might appear from nowhere.
He didn’t want to lose his life because of this.
Chu Ge saw him persistently wanting to go, smiling and shaking his head, "Alright then. If you really can’t hold up, come back."
Thus, the three of them arrived at the usual spot for free clinics.
Chu Ge stood there, quietly watching Feng Luo treat patients. He remembered when they had first met, it seemed to be around here.
Calculating this, it’s been about ten days, time sure flies.
Chu Ge lightly sighed, glancing at the people coming for treatment. They were all impoverished folks, many wearing patched clothes, likely members of the Beggar Gang.
Suddenly, just as Chu Ge was about to withdraw his gaze to assist Feng Luo, a familiar figure caught his eye.
Ye Liang?
Chu Ge was puzzled; why would Ye Liang come to Shuo State?
The figure quickly disappeared, and Chu Ge wanted to chase after, but with so many people on the street due to the clinic, he had no means to pursue.
The figure flashed by, but he definitely didn’t mistake it; that person was indeed Ye Liang.
Puzzled, Chu Ge felt a bit frustrated, not understanding the ancient methods of communication. It really wasn’t as convenient as their modern phones; otherwise, he could directly call Ye Liang to ask.
Chu Ge made a turn, but still couldn’t see Ye Liang’s figure, eventually having to return reluctantly.
Just as he turned around, he suddenly bumped into a white sail, the sailcloth inscribed with four characters: Fortune Teller.
