This guy has been Kevin's "stepping stone" ever since he took the call, but he deserves it.
Kevin turned around, looked towards the gap in the alley, and said coldly: "You can come out now."
After a while, two figures squeezed out from the gap one after another.
"So what? That guy really wants to take me back to Dan Ding Division, right? Humph! I guessed it a long time ago."
The little girl poked her head out from behind the wall, looking both arrogant and cautious.
Kevin didn't say anything because he didn't care about it at all, so he didn't check after knocking the guy down.
A woman walked out from behind the little girl. She was also dressed rather simply, but it was clear that she was wearing the standard uniform of the Danding Division.
The woman walked forward and bowed slightly to Kevin.
"Thank you for your help, sir, but I'm afraid there will be complications... From now on, you don't need to trouble me..."
Having said that, he pulled the little girl beside him and prepared to leave.
But before the woman could take a step, she felt her body being fixed by an unknown force. Her movements stopped in mid-air, looking very strange.
"Uncle! She...what happened to her?"
The sudden change made the little girl a little overwhelmed, and she hurriedly looked at Kevin.
But Kevin didn't reply to her. Instead, he walked straight up to the woman.
He crossed his arms over his chest, looked down at the woman calmly, and said.
"Miss Banxia, can you answer me, why would the traitor of the Medicine King's secret teachings be together with the Medicine-carrying Dragon Girl of the Chiming Clan?"
Ps: I give up. My boss stabbed me in the back again. He said that the assessment on Friday was postponed because he had a sudden business trip. I have been studying hard these days and I am speechless about this.
I haven't had time recently, and I typed this chapter in a hurry. If there are typos or something, please point them out. But I will find time to update one or two chapters this weekend.
There is no other way. I am forced by life. I am still insisting on writing this novel out of love. The updates are unstable. I hope you understand. Thank you.
Chapter 156 Pinellia ternata
"The Secret Biography of the King of Medicine?!"
Hearing this, Bai Lu widened her eyes and looked at Banxia in disbelief, but she did not immediately believe Kevin's one-sided statement.
She wanted to hear Banxia say it herself.
At this time, Banxia obviously had no intention of responding to Bailu.
Banxia didn't think that the man who was knocked down by Kevin just now was sent by Dandingsi to capture Bai Lu, but that he was someone targeting her.
After all, she betrayed the organization. With the methods those people have, they will definitely want to capture her and torture her would be the least of their worries.
"You...who are you?"
Banxia stared at Kevin, because the white-haired man in front of him pointed out her identity very accurately.
But if he was the one who received the secret teachings of the King of Medicine, why did he attack the person who wanted to capture her just now?
Kevin didn't answer directly, but looked her up and down and continued to ask.
"You want to find the Medicine Dragon Girl to treat the evil spirit?"
"Ah?" Bai Lu on the side was a little confused. They clearly didn't say anything, so how did the other party see it?
"Are Sister Banxia's signs so obvious?"
Kevin looked at Bai Lu and asked, "As a doctor, you should have noticed that she is an immortal. Why did she show signs of becoming a demon before her death?"
Banxia was silent, as this topic seemed difficult for her to talk about.
"..."
Kevin shook his head. To be honest, if Xing hadn't told him that Dihengsi had asked her to do something, if she met Bai Lu, she would have tried her best to persuade her to return to Dihengsi first and not treat the evil spirit anymore.
He had no intention of getting involved in this matter.
He had previously told Xing that he would be there soon, but it would probably take a while longer.
Now it seems like your delivery guy is having fun and please wait a moment.
It doesn’t matter. In this limited time, as long as the guy can deliver it to the scene, it will be fine.
Kevin concentrated, clenched his five fingers, and a pill of strange color appeared in his hand.
"Do you recognize this? The thing that caused you to be in this situation..."
Looking at the pill in front of her, Banxia's pupils shrank slightly, and she gritted her teeth and recited the name word by word with difficulty.
"Long Pan... Qiu Yue Dan..."
There was panic and fear in her eyes, as if she was recalling something bad.
Kevin frowned slightly, perhaps thinking that the way he just handled things was too cryptic, so he decided to speak more bluntly.
"Don't worry, I'm not one of the Medicine King's secret disciples. On the contrary, what I'm doing now is tracking down the Medicine King's secrets."
As he spoke, he pulled out the certificate and permission with the official seal of the Shen Ce Mansion and handed it to Banxia. This was the certificate given to him when he contacted Jing Yuan after leaving the Shen Ce Mansion. It was just enough for him to do things at his convenience.
Seeing that Banxia looked a little stunned, Kevin added another sentence.
"Of course, if you think this is a forgery, I can contact the strategist Chang Qingzhu from the Shen Ce Mansion to verify it for you."
"No... no need, I believe it!"
Banxia subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but ignored the fact that her body had already been unable to move.
As for the authenticity of this certificate, the local people in Xianzhou did not dare to forge the official seal of the Shen Ce Mansion, not to mention that the white-haired man in front of them looked like a barbarian.
Not only did he knock down the man from the Dan Ding Division just now, he also revealed her identity in one sentence and even knew the name of the chief strategist. If she is someone who works for the Shen Ce Palace, all of this seems to make sense.
As soon as she finished speaking, Banxia felt that the feeling of restraint just now disappeared out of thin air, and the sudden feeling of weakness almost made her fall.
"careful!"
Bailu took the opportunity to support her. Although she was not tall, her tail was still very powerful.
Banxia lowered her head and wanted to thank him, but she felt that Bai Lu's eyes seemed a little complicated when looking at her.
"Lord Bailu, I..." Banxia was a little flustered. She didn't know where to start.
Bailu let go of the tail that was wrapped around her and hugged her hands to her chest, looking like a little adult.
"Tell me, what's the matter with the traitors of the Medicine King's secret teachings? Those people are fanatics who worship the devil's body and the ancestor of plague and disaster. How did you join such an organization?"
As expected, as soon as Bai Lu asked the question, Banxia looked conflicted again. She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and struggled mentally.
If she tells the truth, will Miss Bai Lu still be willing to help her?
Kevin looked at this scene and did not directly use the power of consciousness to pry into Banxia's heart, but he faintly felt the scent of melon.
When he first exchanged the secret information of the King of Medicine with Qing Du, he had been interested in the name Ban Xia and checked her information.
The letter sent to the Shen Ce Mansion that Xing had intercepted for the Medicine King Secret was sent by Banxia, and later he also discovered the Medicine King Secret's order to hunt her down.
At first, Kevin thought that the person who could do such a thing must be extraordinary, but when he actually saw him, he looked as if he was possessed by a demon and was in a miserable state, begging for his life.
So, what was her reason for joining the Secret Sect of the King of Medicine and betraying the organization?
You found out that you couldn't achieve the immortality you wanted after taking the elixir, and you regretted it so much that you wanted to live?
Kevin didn't think this was the root cause, otherwise she wouldn't have been so reluctant to speak when asked.
"I joined the Medicine King Secret Teachings because I wanted to ask them to... rescue my love and take Lord Bai Lu away from the Dan Ding Division... for this reason..."
After a series of ideological struggles, Banxia decided to tell the reason. She felt that even if she didn't say it, the man next to her would have a way to pry the truth out of her.
Besides, I don't have much time left...
"Huh?" Bai Lu couldn't believe her ears. "Didn't you say you wanted me to heal your demonic body? How come you're asking me to save your lover now?"
"Besides, you never mentioned your lover before..."
"I'm sorry, Master Bailu, I had no choice. If I hadn't said this..." Banxia lowered her head and murmured, "He is a short-lived person, and his life is already insignificant..."
"Alas..." Bai Lu sighed, "I can only say that you don't know me well enough..."
Then, she shook her head again: "Tell me, where is your lover? Whether it's you or him, I will save him!"
Upon hearing this, Banxia immediately showed an expression of gratitude.
But then, her face turned cautious again: "But I already have the signs of a demonic body. If I am interrogated by the Medicine King Secret Teachings or the Ten Kings Division... I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Liuyundu..."
"It seems we have to think of a solution." Bai Lu nodded and began to think.
"You just said that your lover is in Liuyundu?" Kevin asked suddenly, even though he had heard it clearly a long time ago.
He could tell that what Banxia had just said was not false, but he felt that there was some conspiracy involved.
Of course, the conspiracy was not Banxia, but the lover she mentioned.
Kevin was very clear about the current situation of Liuyun Ferry. Almost all the irrelevant personnel there had been cleared out.
When Jing Yuan was getting intelligence from Qing Dun before, the other party happened to mention the situation in Liuyun Ferry. After Jing Yuan went there, the cloud riders there stepped up their investigation efforts.
Apart from some remnants of the Medicine King's secret sect who may be hiding in the dark, there are almost no irrelevant personnel stationed there.
Even a judge from the Ten Kings Department who was working there caught a sneaky short-lived being who was trying to covet immortality...
"Yes, is there any problem?" Banxia looked at Kevin. She felt a little strange, as if the other party knew something.
Kevin nodded slightly, half leaning against the wall, and said slowly, "I don't think you need to go to Liuyundu anymore."
"Why...why?" Banxia was a little confused. Her breathing became rapid, as if the other party was about to announce some bad news.
Kevin glanced at Banxia's reaction and said mercilessly: "I heard that... the Ten Kings Division arrested someone there."
"Short-lived species," he added.
Chapter 157 There is no cure
After hearing Kevin mention the incident at Liuyun Ferry, Banxia was a little stunned, but this state did not last long.
Perhaps she was hoping for the best. Then, she smiled and looked at Kevin: "There are so many short-lived people in Liuyun Ferry, how come my lover was the one who was captured?"
Hearing this, Bai Lu nodded in agreement: "Indeed, there are a lot of people coming and going at Liuyun Ferry, so it stands to reason that there should be a lot of short-lived species."
