Chen Dong did not return to the rented courtyard.
Instead, he found the residence of Divine Doctor Xue through many inquiries.
Entry to the residence was not blocked by anyone.
Chen Dong understood that it was Nangong Li who should have given the order.
Although this Nangong Valley Master is a little indecisive, overall he is pretty good.
The decoration of Doctor Xue's residence is very simple. Except for the necessary daily necessities, the rest are all related to medical skills.
Herbs are also drying in the yard, emitting a delicate fragrance.
"Sect Master, the person has disappeared for a long time. I'm afraid I won't be able to find any clues if I come back here again."
Mr. Tang flipped through the books on the table in the room. All the records on them were about extreme pill cases.
"Come and find out. I owe Divine Doctor Xue such a big favor, so I have to do something. It would be good to find some clues." Chen Dong walked around the room.
The situation left him somewhat disappointed.
The room had obviously been cleaned by Guan Liguo, and all traces of the fight had been dealt with.
Moreover, no one has been here since, and the room is covered with dust.
It means that Doctor Xue has never come back since he escaped.
"Let's go and ask elsewhere."
Chen Dong has given up hope. If his cultivation is still at its peak, he can use time retrieval and other methods to detect the movements of Divine Doctor Xue.
But now I can only use some small spells.
As soon as he walked out of Doctor Xue's residence, Chen Dong noticed someone in the corner.
"Who! Come out!"
Mr. Tang noticed the other party and scolded him directly.
After a while, a little medicine boy in Tsing Yi, about five or six years old, came out timidly.
"You...are you here to check Grandpa Xue's whereabouts?" The little medicine boy rubbed his clothes with both hands and mustered up the courage to say.
"Are you Doctor Xue's medicine boy?" Chen Dong asked softly.
The little medicine boy shook his head.
"No, I'm the medicine boy for other medicine men."
"Then why are you so concerned about Doctor Xue's movements?" Mr. Tang asked.
The little medicine boy said: "Grandpa Xue is very good to us beginners. In the past, when we were punished by the master for not being able to carry a thousand pieces of gold, Grandpa Xue would always come to coax us with delicious food."
I see.
Doctor Xue was as kind as ever.
I have to say, Guan Li is really a bastard!
"Do you have any news about Grandpa Xue? Sister Su Su has been sad for a long time." The little drug boy looked at Chen Dong and Mr. Tang with expectant eyes.
The two looked at each other and shook their heads silently.
I didn't express the worst thoughts in my heart, and I couldn't bear to destroy the child's hope.
Chen Dong asked casually: "Does your sister Su Su often receive the care of Divine Doctor Xue?"
"Of course, Sister Su Su is Doctor Xue's medicine boy, just like her granddaughter!" said the little medicine boy.
Doctor Xue’s medicine boy?
Chen Dong said quickly: "Then can you take us to meet your sister Su Su? I have questions I want to ask her. Maybe we can learn the whereabouts of Divine Doctor Xue."
"Meet Sister Susu?"
The little drug boy was obviously a little wary when he heard this and looked Chen Dong up and down.
Chen Dong was a little confused. Did he say something wrong just now?
"What's wrong? Is there any inconvenience?" Chen Dong asked.
"Are you sure you are not bad people?" the little medicine boy asked.
"Haha, how can we be bad guys? Don't forget that we are here specifically to investigate the whereabouts of Divine Doctor Xue!" Mr. Tang rubbed the little medicine boy's head and laughed.
Chen Dong also nodded: "Don't worry, we are not bad people, we are friends of Divine Doctor Xue. Today we just captured the culprit who harmed Divine Doctor Xue... well, caught him. Now we need to find Divine Doctor Xue."
"Caught the bad guy?"
The little drug boy's eyes lit up and he was a little excited.
Chen Dong nodded: "Of course, I am an adult and will not lie to children."
"Besides, you adults tell the most lies. Don't you think it's contradictory that you don't let us children lie even though you've already lied yourself?" the little medicine boy said with a pout.
Chen Dong and Mr. Tang looked at each other with awkward expressions.
Indeed, as people grow older, they can no longer understand some of the truth in their mouths.
The little medicine boy continued: "Although adults often lie, you two definitely don't. I can feel it, and I will take you to find Sister Susu."
"Hey, I'm a kid, but you can feel something."
Chen Dong pinched the little medicine boy's face and smiled.
Then, the two of them followed the little Yaotong to the back mountain of Yaowang Valley.
"This back mountain is usually the medicine garden of Yaowang Valley, where the outer disciples work daily. Since Grandpa Xue left, Sister Su Su has been arranged to work here."
Speaking of this, a look of anger appeared on the little Yaotong's face, and he bared his little tiger teeth and said angrily: "They all said that Doctor Xue was a thief and a traitor, and then they bullied Sister Su Su."
Chen Dong just rubbed the little Yaotong's head and said nothing.
This world is like this. If one person achieves enlightenment, a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven, in the same way, if one person makes a mistake, the whole family suffers.
The back mountain at this moment.
Thousands of acres of medicinal gardens.
Several grown men were laughing wildly around someone in the medicine garden.
"Stinky girl! How dare you stare at me! Your master is a thief. This is a fact that can never be changed!"
"Damn, is she crazy today? How dare you bite me!"
"It's not like today that Master Guan's public refining of alchemy has become known to everyone. Everyone says that Master Guan is not the original creator of Peiyuan Dan, so this girl is clamoring to vindicate Old Man Xue, saying that Old Man Xue is not a thief."
"Oh, does she still have the strength to rebel? Then lock her in a dog cage and starve her for a few days to see if she still has the strength to rebel!"
Several grown men surrounded a little girl in the center, laughing wildly.
The girl's face was full of filth and her clothes were dirty, but her eyes were extremely bright and full of dissatisfaction.
The originally thin girl was now carrying a bamboo basket about the same size as her.
The bamboo basket was filled with pure natural waste and the stench was overwhelming.
The little girl was bent over, as if she was using all her strength to carry the bamboo basket, with no trace of disgust on her face.
"My master is not a thief. It has been proven to everyone in public today that Guan Liguo is the shameless thief who stole the elixir!"
Su Su's eyes were full of determination, and she glared hard at the people who bullied her.
"How dare you say that!"
"What happened today can only prove that the elixir recipe was not created by Master Guan Feng, but it cannot prove that Old Man Xue did not steal the elixir recipe from Master Guan Feng!"
"You damn girl, is this what you can say to Master Guan?"
While talking, one of them raised his foot and kicked Su Su.
Carrying the bamboo basket, she had already exhausted all her strength. This kick caused Susu to lose her balance and fall to the ground.
The contents of the bamboo basket were scattered everywhere, and Su Su inevitably got some of them contaminated.
The people surrounding her covered their mouths and noses and took a few steps back with disgust on their faces.
"She seems to go well with shit and piss, how about we add some more ingredients to her?"
Several people smiled evilly and prepared to unbutton their pants.
"A few grown men are bullying a little girl. You are really worse than beasts!"
At this time, a voice came slowly.
Several people were stunned and turned to look.
I found an old man, a young man and a child walking towards this direction.
"Who are you? We are the subordinates of Lord Guan, be careful not to get angry!"
One of the men walked out in a swaggering manner, completely ignoring Chen Dong and others.
"Guan Liguo? Everyone else is dead, but you still use his name to pretend to be powerful outside?" Chen Dong asked doubtfully.
However, as soon as Chen Dong finished speaking, the men in front of him started laughing wildly.
"Hahaha... This person is even more outrageous than this damn girl!"
"Indeed, you still dare to say that Peak Master Guan is dead? In this Medicine King Valley, not even the Valley Master dares to touch our Peak Master, who can kill him?"
"Boy, there must be a limit to joking. In addition to being the master of Shenmu Peak in Yaowang Valley, Master Guan is also a descendant of the Guan family, a family of martial arts."
"You know the Guan family, right? This is one of the best families in southern Jiangxi. If you kill the descendants of the Guan family on the Guan family's territory, who wouldn't want to live!"
Listening to what several people said to each other, Chen Dong probably figured it out.
No wonder Nangong Li was so angry that he showed mercy to Guan Liguo.
It turns out that's the reason.
Seeing Chen Dong's silent look, these men thought Chen Dong was scared, so they laughed even more.
"Come on, tell me now, who is so bold and dares to kill Master Guan, how and when he did it."
One of them came to Chen Dong provocatively and said proudly.
Chen Dong slowly raised his eyelids and said indifferently:
"You want to know?"
