Chapter 262: Chapter 262 Clue_1

"Hmph!"

The Empress hmphed coldly, you glanced at her sideways, and immediately stopped making a sound.

Forget it, a wise man does not fight when the odds are against him, especially since if you criticized her in her presence, you would definitely end up being thoroughly trounced. It’s better to go back home, shut the door, and have a good talk with Zhao’er.

Besides, it’s been a long time since you held hands with Zhao’er, chatted about trivial things, and kissed those tender lips—oh my, just thinking about those embarrassing scenes makes you somewhat bashful.

At this moment, you suddenly felt as if someone was watching you. When you looked up in shock, you discovered that Wu Qiyi, the Empress, Xi Yu, and Dong Fangxiao were all looking at you with a peculiar gaze.

"Why are you all staring at me like that?" you asked, brazenly.

Wu Qiyi and Xi Yu exchanged glances, the former couldn’t help but chuckle, while the latter said to you with a laugh, "Master Li, just now you were smiling in such a lecherous way."

As a result, Zhao’er laughed as well...

After that, you all went to the Wu Family Old House, where Wu Qiulan immediately knelt down upon seeing the Empress. It turned out she was, just like Wu Qiuyue, a personal maid to the young ladies of the Wu Family, only Wu Qiulan was a personal maid to Wu Wanhui.

An old amah was holding the Empress and wailing, which made it quite an odd scene for the rest of you.

You originally wanted to show the silk book to Wu Qiulan, but Wu Qiulan bluntly said that she couldn’t understand it, and only Daoist Qingyun could decipher it.

"Amah, who is this Daoist Qingyun?"

As soon as Wu Qiulan mentioned the term ’Taoist Priest,’ you naturally thought of the old Taoist’s senior brother.

"Master Li, this Daoist Qingyun is no less than the Zhenguan Historical Official, Li Chunfeng’s direct descendant, and has been studying the Five Elements Technique of Taoism since his youth. In this age, he is known as the foremost expert in the Five Elements,".

You nodded and asked, "Where can I find this Daoist Qingyun?"

Wu Qiulan sighed softly and said, "Fifty years ago, the Scenic Sect suffered a fatal strike from the Chu Sect because of an incident, and Daoist Qingyun, who was the head of the sect, took responsibility and left. Since then, very few people have known of his whereabouts."

"The Chu Sect? Is this matter related to the Chu Sect?"

"I don’t know much about the specifics, but if Master Li is looking for Daoist Qingyun, you can go to Yenjing to find someone. She should know about Daoist Qingyun’s whereabouts."

"Who is she?"

"Cen Xiaodan, of Chu Sect’s Inner Sect, and the Scenic Sect Master."

"Scenic Sect... Master." This title made your mind race, and you finally understood why Du Qingming had you participate in the so-called Inner Sect disciples’ competition. It seemed he had already planned it all out.

However, a thought couldn’t help but pop up in your mind—Is Du Qingming’s purpose really that simple?

After pondering for a moment, you temporarily put that thought aside. For you, healing Wu Qiyi’s intractable illness was all that mattered, nothing else was important!

You gave Wu Qiulan a fist and palm salute and said, "In that case, I thank you, amah."

"Master Li is too polite. You’ve been wholeheartedly devoted to the young lady; it is I who should be thanking you," she replied.

You looked at Wu Qiyi beside you and said with a smile, "Er Ya and I have grown up together like family; her concerns are my concerns!"

"Those are pretty words, but I wonder how you would act when faced with real danger," the Empress said coldly, looking at you.

You did not respond to the Empress. You had already thought of a way to deal with her on the way here, which was the three ’Nos’:

Don’t look at her!

Don’t get close to her!

Don’t pick up her words!

At that moment your phone rang. Taking it out of your pocket, you saw it was Zong Wangyue calling, and you promptly answered, "Zongzi, what’s up?"

"Boss, Glasses got beaten up!"

"Fuck! Who did this? Where are you guys?"

"We’re at the central hospital, Glasses is badly hurt!"

Upon hearing that Wei Shuxian was seriously injured, you immediately jumped up, your words filled with a fierce tone, "Wait for me at the hospital, I’ll be right there!"

At this moment, seeing a fierce expression on your face, the Empress nodded and said, "At least you have some guts."

You didn’t pay attention to the Empress but said to Zhao’er beside you, "Zhao’er, stay here with Little Yun and the others, I’ll go take care of Glasses’s situation first."

"Mm, go ahead."

Zhao’er nodded slightly.

After leaving Wu Qiyi and Xi Yu behind, you treated the Empress and Dong Fangxiao like air and quickly walked out of the Wu Family Old House. At the intersection, you hailed a taxi and sped off towards the central hospital Zong Wangyue had mentioned.

When you arrived at the hospital, you found that Yang Kai and the others were all gathered outside the operating room.

Yang Kai’s face was swollen from being hit, and he sat dejectedly in a chair, with Nie Ying gently holding his hand and speaking to him; Zong Wangyue, Jin Qi, and Dai Zhenan sat on chairs on the other side, heads hung low, looking like defeated roosters.

Outside the operating room door, Wang Xiaohan paced back and forth anxiously.

Upon hearing your footsteps, everyone turned their heads to look towards the stairwell. When your figure appeared, Zong Wangyue immediately rushed towards you, "Boss!"

"Zongzi, what the hell happened?"

"Boss, we faced a big defeat this time at the Detective Agency!" Seeing Zong Wangyue’s depressed face, you couldn’t help but ask, "Why don’t I see Madman and Black Bull?"

"Madman and Black Bull are at the surgeon’s getting bandaged up. It seems like Madman’s hand is fractured, and Black Bull’s thicker skin helped, but he is also badly hurt."

"And Glasses?" You knew it wasn’t the time to delve into the cause of the incident. The most important thing was the brothers’ injuries, "Is he still in the operating room?"

"Mm." Zong Wangyue said with a downcast head, "It was chaos at that time. Glasses was stabbed twice by some thugs while trying to save Little Han! When we got here, the doctor said that Glasses had lost too much blood, and whether he could be saved or not would depend on the situation."

Hearing this, your eyes abruptly widened, and two Sen Luo Curse Marks immediately spun into existence!

You turned to look at the operating room, and for the first time, your eyes pierced through the walls to see the scene inside the operating room.

At this moment, the doctors inside the operating room had stopped their work, shaking their heads and sighing as they looked at each other.

Suddenly, the doors of the operating room opened, and two middle-aged doctors walked out.

"Doctor, how is he?"

Wang Xiaohan, like a crazy person, grabbed one of the middle-aged doctors and asked.

"Sigh!" one of the doctors sighed, "We did everything we could!"

"No! No, Glasses won’t...!"

Wang Xiaohan tried to rush into the operating room but was grabbed by you and thrown back onto Hu Meili and Tao Wenwen.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Seeing you prepared to enter the operating, the two middle-aged doctors hurriedly tried to stop you.

You suddenly turned around and glared at the two, "Get out!"

The two middle-aged doctors were stunned for a moment, then stood frozen in place as if they had been scared by something, not moving an inch!

"Zongzi, guard the operating room door. Don’t let anyone in!"

"Got it!"
