Chapter 90 Unreasonable Demand
Heidan pa.s.sed through the ornate hall on the first floor and went into the administrator’s room. Then he walked to the back of the bookcase and twisted it gently. The bookcase moved away slowly and a secret door appeared.
The emaciated young man and Yin Xuetong behind him looked afraid. The situation seemed different from what they thought. Now they knew the secret door, if they wanted to leave, they must be dead.
“You two, come with me.”
Then Heidan muttered words such as “luck” and they felt confused about that. They could do nothing else but follow Heidan.
The underground adytum in their imagination did not appear. After they crossed a stone path, they suddenly could see more. They came to a bright central room. If there were no windows around, the emaciated young man and Yin Xuetong would think it was on the ground.
When they arrived, Heidan asked them to wait for a moment. He left alone and closed the door. Yin Xuetong and the emaciated young man looked at each other, and they saw doubt in each other’s eyes.
In the current situation, they were niddering servants. Who on earth wanted to see them?
“Clump, clump, clump…”
Instantly, they head a sound of footsteps. The emaciated young man and Yin Xuetong turned their heads at the same time and saw Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning come together in a hurry, but they didn’t have time to cast their disguise effect off.
The emaciated young man and Yin Xuetong were in shock when they saw them. They were about to salute in a hurry, but only heard Qu Qingning laugh and say in anger, “Xuetong, why are you lowering your head? Don’t you even know me?”
What?
Yin Xuetong was alarmed, then she looked up at Qu Qingning. His voice sounded extremely familiar, but his face was a little unfamiliar to her. She didn’t think of anything for a moment.
Fang Yuan gave a cold hum and picked up a pot of tea and poured it on Qu Qingning’s face. The tea was so hot that Qu Qingning shouted in pain, “Fang Yuan, you must have done it on purpose! You are venting your anger on me, so, are you insane? I suffer losses, too!”
The emaciated young man immediately opened his eyes wide excitedly.
Fang Yuan wiped away his disguise with water. He took a deep breath and smiled. “Xiaomu, long time no see”
“Eldest brother, it’s you!”
The emaciated young man stood up excitedly and shouted. Instantly his face turned pale and he bent down and immediately coughed violently. He coughed so badly that the corner of his mouth bled. His body was too weak to withstand such intense emotions.
Fang Yuan looked worried and immediately held Fang Mu to leave the adytum. There were only Yin Xuetong and Qu Qingning.
With full of tears in her eyes, Yin Xuetong stared at Qu Qingning whose face was red due to the hot water. The next moment she could not help falling into Qu Qingning’s arms.
“Qingning, I thought I would never see you again. They all said you that you died…”
Qu Qingning looked at Yin Xuetong with deep feelings. The latter was crying bitterly in his arms. He closed his eyes and sighed contentedly. He thought he would never see her again, but fate was so magical that they met again.
Qu Qingning gently stroked Yin Xuetong’s soft right arm and said with unprecedented gentleness, “Don’t be afraid. Everything will be all right.”
Yin Xuetong felt the slight pain from her right arm. She blinked and immediately gave a slight hum. She indulged herself in a tranquil atmosphere and did not think of anything else.
In his urgent footsteps, Fang Mu shed more blood in his corner of mouth, but he laughed happily. If he didn’t have such intense emotion, he would probably live longer. But he did not expect to see his eldest brother in the end. He could be dead without regret.
“Eldest brother, bury me here after I died. We are all homeless. Let me stay with you, ok?”
Fang Mu kept talking as he coughed with blood, and the blood covered Fang Yuan’s arms. Fang Yuan was so anxious that veins stood out on his head. He reproached coldly, “Shut up, you can live, because she can save you!”
“Save me?”
Fang Mu smiled and his pupils were gradually dilated. He closed his eyes completely and breathed weakly for an instant.
At this time, Fang Yuan finally arrived at Su Li’s room.
Slam!
He kicked Su Li’s door and begged, “Help!”
Five minutes later, Su Li took back the last needle and Fang Mu’s breathing became stable. Fang Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
“The kid is lucky. If you came a little later, he would kick the bucket.”
Su Li tidied up the herb cabinet as she said “He used the extremely powerful method of phagocytosis reversed, but now his body is empty and his five elements are disordered. He’s so weak that even if I save him, he won’t be able to live for a few months.”
Fang Yuan looked dejected when hearing what she said, “It’s the Insect Burst Secret Method of the Fang Family. It can wear up one’s life for a moment of strength. Su Li…is there any chance for him to live?”
Fang Yuan asked with a fluke. Unexpectedly, Su Li nodded her head, “Of course there is, but there is a high price to pay. Why should I save him?”
Fang Yuan’s mood lightened and he didn’t care about Su Li’s tone at all, “What should I pay for?”
He had been used to the mode of getting along with Su Li. Just now he and Qu Qingning had also paid different prices to let Su Li take in Fang Mu and Yin Xuetong.
Su Li turned her eyes and tilted her head and laughed. “Do you know what Qu Qingning paid for me to help Yin Xuetong cure her arm?”
Fang Yuan looked at Su Li’s clear eyes and felt cold. He asked subconsciously, “What?”
“Work for me all his life.” Su Li smiled sweetly and instantly said in a cold voice, “No matter what I say, he will not hesitate to do it, even if he is going to die! He will do it.”
“That fool!”
Fang Yuan scolded inwardly. It was obvious that the boy had lost his mind for his girlfriend. He had just promised Su Li to serve her for ten years within his power before.
He was the first person who worked for Su Li, so he knew better than anyone else that Su Li was not a good person. On the contrary, she was very good at calculation.
She was a fair and aboveboard villain who never hid her naked ambition. She must have her own purpose in taking so many people in. From the night he killed people, she said that “There will be much more terrible danger in the future”.
But, so what?
Fang Yuan suddenly laughed, even without these rules, he was willing to do anything for Su Li!
“I will work for you all my life just like him.”
Fang Yuan’s tone was calm and he didn’t gnash his teeth like Qu Qingning. Su Li stared at Fang Yuan for just a minute and instantly smiled happily.
“So, I have two real subordinates. It feels great!”
Su Li blinked her eyes. She was always alone in the previous life, and that’s her shortcoming. If she had power, how could she be put to death by being dismembered? She didn’t even have the power to avenge for her disabled husband!
Fang Yuan bit his lips and was helpless. Seeing Su Li laugh happily, he didn’t know why he was somewhat distressed for her.
He traded his freedom for her happiness, but that still couldn’t stop the sorrow in her heart…
“In this case, I will cure him now so that you cannot regret. Or that will be my loss.”
Su Li held the silver needle in Fang Mu’s abdomen with one hand. A wisp of green light suddenly appeared and penetrated into Fang Mu’s body along the silver needle. Fang Mu’s face became ruddy rapidly and his breathing became strong and powerful.
If other doctors saw this, they must marvel at that there had another highly skilled doctor in the world.
Fang Yuan stood on one side in shock. He was not a doctor after all. It was the first time for him to see such energetic power. Even so, he knew how precious such power was.
“The power can supplement the five elements of the human body. What kind of magical power is it? Su Li has never used it before. Is it the power she has only mastered recently? But Su Li is clearly an ordinary person…”
Fang Yuan thought he know Su Li a little, but for a time, she was unfamiliar to him. He found that even if he was near Su Li, he still could not see through her real background. Nothing could be known except her origin.
After less than half quarter, Su Li took back her hand. Her face turned pale and her breathing was slightly rapid. She said slowly, “I am not capable of curing the sequela for one time. Let him have a good rest and recuperation in seven days. When he fully adapts, I will do the next treatment. I think it will take three times of treatment before he can get back to normal and start practicing martial arts again.”
Fang Yuan was speechless when hearing what she said. Was she inadequate? If other doctors were asked to cure Fang Mu, they would surely tell him to prepare the funeral. Su Li only needed one month to cure him. She was a talented doctor, ok?
“I didn’t expect that your medical skills are as good as your poison skills.”
Fang Yuan seldomly admired her, but Su Li said with a gentle smile, “You’re wrong. My medical skills are much worse than my poison skills. If I want, the whole Qinghe Town would be a dead city in an instant.”
Fang Yuan felt shocked and wanted to ask if what she said was true. But Su Li had packed up the herb cabinet and ordered him, “There is full of blood on the road, and don’t forget to clean it up.”
Fang Yuan saw the dark red blood on the ground and felt helpless.
Fang Mu frowned and saw clearly. He sat up suddenly and looked at his slender and white hands. He froze instantly, “I am alive?”
Fang Yuan turned around and knocked Fang Mu’s head. He said, “I said you would not die, then you wouldn’t die! You son of a b.i.t.c.h, do you know that I’ve got my life in for saving you!”
Fang Mu was instantly dazed. He covered his head and begged for mercy repeatedly.
After the frolic, Fang Yuan met Qu Qingning. Seeing Qu Qingning and Yin Xuetong were in love with each other, Fang Yang felt a little disgusted.
Qu Qingning saw Fang Mu who had rosy cheeks and strong body. He immediately laughed and said, “Oh! Boy, don’t spit blood? I thought you were going to die when I saw you just now!”
Fang Mu scratched his head embarra.s.sedly and said, “Brother Qu, don’t make jokes on me. Do you remember me? I’m Fang Mu of the Fang Family. I am a collateral sibling, but Brother Fang Yuan treated me very well.”
Qu Qingning touched his chin and nodded, “You were too thin to be recognized before, you were lucky because Fang Yuan could recognize you.”
Yin Xuetong looked at Fang Mu curiously. She saw Fang Mu spit blood all the time just now, but she didn’t expect that after a while, he was full of vim and vigor.
“Xuetong, you can rest a.s.sured now! The owner of the winery is a highly skilled doctor She can certainly cure your hand.”
Qu Qingning promised to Yin Xuetong. He had paid his life for curing her hand. If she couldn’t cure her, with her personality, she would certainly not let him agree with such excessive demand.
“Is that ‘Mr. Li’?” Yin Xuetong timidly asked, “You are both his servants, is it inappropriate for you to say that?”
Qu Qingning turned serious and Fang Yuan instantly smiled.
In this moment, Su Li came in. Fang Mu and Yin Xuetong looked at her curiously. She sat at the table and poured a cup of tea for herself.
“You two guys who work for me all your life, isn’t it the time for you to go out and work?
