Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 150 Something happened

Seeing that his sister was unharmed and that Master Quan was nowhere to be found, he didn't have time to think and hurriedly stepped forward to take her pulse.

The servants helped Master Quan in, not daring to lift their heads, looking terrified.

Master Quan, covered in filth, gritted his teeth and pointed directly at Guan Xun: "Outrageous! Quickly send someone to seize her!"

"Daddy?"

The girl's weak voice rang out in the room. He shuddered, his eyes clearing a little. He broke free from the person supporting him and, disregarding everything else, stumbled and ran to the bedside.

"Feng'er?! You can speak now? How are you feeling? Huh?" Master Quan choked up. His daughter hadn't spoken for two days, how could he remain calm?

"I don't feel any pain anymore, I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere, I'm just a little tired, and... Daddy, you look so ugly with that half-crying look..." Miss Quan complained, her energetic state completely different from before.

"Your pulse is stable, there are no toxins left in your body, and you are just slightly deficient in qi and blood, but you're fine now. You just need to rest more." Dongyang stood up and looked at his sister in surprise. How could he be cured as soon as he woke up?

"Xiao Xun, what exactly is going on?"

Seeing that his daughter's complexion had returned to normal and that Dr. Dong had said she was alright, Mr. Quan was immediately embarrassed. Although the other party had indeed saved her life, the methods used could easily lead to misunderstandings...

No wonder he acted impulsively.

Regardless, he still had to apologize and express his gratitude.

Guan Xun could easily sense his thoughts, and casually waved his hand: "Let's skip the other matters. I'm more interested in what kind of spirit pet attacked Miss Quan, and who did it."

Can spirit beasts be sent into a human body...? What kind of evil technique is this?

Miss Quan was slightly taken aback, nodded gently, and was helped up. She sat on the bed, thinking carefully.

His eyes darkened, revealing a hint of lingering fear: "More than half a month ago, my maid and I encountered a group of men in black fighting at the inn. It seemed they were trying to capture a woman. I happened to be sitting nearby at the time and unfortunately got caught in the crossfire."

"As for the spirit pet... it seems to be a weasel. It was all black, so I'm not really sure. It was very ferocious. It pounced on me, and I fell ill after that."

As she spoke, her eyes glanced over, and when she saw the spirit beast Guan Xun was holding, her face instantly turned ashen, and she subconsciously shrank into the blankets: "It's about the same as the one you're holding!"

As if remembering something, Guan Xun frowned: "Is it the largest inn?"

"Yes, it's on the third chain island of the ancient town."

"Lin Miao is probably in trouble," Guan Xun murmured, his brows furrowing even deeper, before turning and walking out.

"Xiao Xun?" Dong Yang was taken aback, quickly and hurriedly packed up his things and chased after him.

……

The atmosphere in the courtyard, filled with the aroma of herbs, was somewhat somber.

"Are you really leaving?" Dongyang's face was scrunched up, and his voice was extremely hoarse.

"Why are you crying? It's not like he's dead."

Guan Xun held the spirit beast in her hand. The little creature struggled incessantly and even opened its mouth as if to bite. She sneered and casually tossed it behind her.

"Draw it, draw it until it submits."

Upon hearing this, Chi Rong felt energized and immediately swung his tail as he charged towards the spirit beast.

“We can run the clinic together, and it won’t interfere with your cultivation,” Dongyang said, rubbing his hot eyes.

Guan Xun pointed his index finger directly at his face and waved it, saying, "I have other important matters to attend to."

He had tried to persuade his sister to stay countless times along the way, but to no avail. Dongyang was helpless and could only suppress the bitterness in his heart. He took a deep breath and forced a stiff smile: "Then I will prepare more medicines and pills for you."

"You can even refine pills now?"

"I'm barely passable, still not very skilled." Dongyang scratched his head sheepishly. "By the way, I've acquired quite a few beast cores over the years, you can take them with you."

Upon hearing the mention of beast cores, Chi Rong suddenly rushed over and winked at him.

Dongyang was startled and almost fell backward. Leaning back, he turned to look at his sister: "Your spirit pet?"

"Hmm." Guan Xun reached out and pulled Chi Rong back. "Did you draw out your qi?"

"That guy can't even take a beating." Chi Rong pointed at the spirit beast that had already fallen to the ground with its tail and flicked its tongue disdainfully.

The little spirit beast lay sprawled in the medicinal herb field, trembling slightly.

Guan Xun's eyes flickered slightly, a glint of light flashing within them. He then turned to look at Dong Yang and said, "Forget about the pills and potions. Go and get all the beast cores first."

After Dongyang piled all the beast cores on the table, Guan Xun picked out the highest-grade one and then injected a wisp of immortal flame into it.

Then, he grabbed the little spirit beast and forcibly stuffed a suitable amount of Undying Fire into its beast core.

The spirit beast was instantly scorched by the flames, struggling wildly in agony, its entire body about to be roasted apart.

Seeing that it was about to collapse, Guan Xun slowly released green mist from his palm to heal it.

He then threw the beast core and the beast together to Dongyang.

"Master, what are you doing? It would be better if you gave it to me to eat." Chi Rong sat on the table, chewing on the beast core while curiously peeking over.

Even Dongyang was puzzled. This dark, lumpy thing was the culprit that caused Miss Quan's repeated poisonings. What was the point of keeping it if it wasn't destroyed?

He held the struggling spirit beast tightly, his hand outstretched, afraid of being bitten.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when a sharp pain shot through his hand. Dongyang released his grip in pain, and the spirit beast immediately flew into the air, trying to escape.

However, after only a few meters away, his body was burned by the Undying Fire, causing him excruciating pain.

It had to turn back; the closer it got to the beast core in Dongyang's hand, the less the pain would be.

Dongyang wasn't stupid; he instantly understood what his sister meant: "You don't mean I have to carry it with me, do you?"

"Of course, although it doesn't have any intelligence, I estimate that with some training it can still be commanded. As long as you keep that beast core with you, you don't have to worry about it running away," Guan Xun said with a smile.

Seeing that Chi Rong had eaten most of the beast cores on the table, she stood up from the stone bench, stretched her limbs a few times, and then leaped onto the roof.

Seeing this, Chi Rong quickly stuffed the remaining beast cores into his mouth and hurriedly darted towards his master.

"gone."

Dongyang panicked and immediately stood up and ran a few steps forward, stumbling and almost falling.

"Xiao Xun, you... will you come back?"

"Ah..." Guan Xun glanced at his reluctant face, a slight smile curving his lips. "Who knows?"

The shadows on the eaves disappeared into the courtyard along with the cold wind. Dongyang felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He turned around and sat back on the stone bench, his hand pressed against his brow, unable to suppress the heat in his eyes.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The beast core in his hand was burning hot from being gripped so tightly that Dongyang lowered his head, his gaze fixed on it, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

It felt like a dream.

Nightmare.
