Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies
Chapter 103: Micro" and "gradual

The more people see, the more they like dogs.

Not because dogs are smart or considerate.

But because dogs are pure!

They feel pain when they are hurt, they feel hungry when they are hungry, they wag their tails when they are close, and they bare their teeth when they are strangers.

People are not like that.

People hide their true feelings.

They are inscrutable, unpredictable, and incomprehensible.

Three little puppies, one brown, one black, and one white, were huddled together. Their fur colors were all different.

Zhu Biqiong looked at them and smiled, "It's not easy to find their father."

Perhaps because they were full, the black and brown puppies started fighting.

The two little puppies tangled together, and the black one was at a disadvantage, whimpering continuously. It probably wanted the big dog to intervene, but the white dog just lazily turned its head and looked into the distance.

The white puppy next to them jumped up and down, wanting to play, but seeing that no one paid attention to it, it lay down boredly.

After a while, the brown puppy pinned the black one down. The black one stopped whimpering.

This was how puppies declared victory or defeat. The brown puppy was the winner, and the black puppy submitted.

Jiang Wang, who was upright, couldn't bear to watch and poked them with his foot, "Don't bully your little brother!"

The brown puppy was gently flipped over and lay on its back with its limbs in the air, looking confused. The black puppy, on the other hand, was carefree and happily licked its own paw.

The big white dog stood up and growled threateningly at Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang took Zhu Biqiong and Du Gu Xiaoluo and fled.

...

"I thought you hated dogs!" Zhu Biqiong looked at Jiang Wang with her almond-shaped eyes, a smile on her lips.

She was happy to see Jiang Wang being chased around by the protective white dog. It could alleviate the grievances she felt from being treated like a laborer.

"I have no reason to hate dogs as long as they don't eat human flesh."

He didn't hide his liking for dogs, but all likes had to make way for boundaries.

Hu Laogen was now Hu Tingchang, but he didn't build a new courtyard for himself. He still lived in his old house with his supposedly fierce wife.

This made him more trusted by the people of Qingyang Town.

When he saw Jiang Wang at the door, he hurriedly greeted his wife to make tea and wiped the chair vigorously with his sleeve, inviting the esteemed cultivator to sit down.

His wife was also docile at the moment, showing no signs of being fierce.

"This month is almost over. Is there anything happening in town?" Jiang Wang casually looked around the room and found the environment acceptable, not too shabby. He asked casually.

"There is indeed something. I was just about to report it to you at the mine." The newly appointed Hu Tingchang said nervously, "Two people have died in our town recently!"

"What's the reason? Who did it? Do I need to bring Xiang Qian over to investigate?" Jiang Wang looked up at Zhu Biqiong and added, "Zhu Xia, maybe you can help too."

"What do you mean maybe?" Zhu Biqiong jumped up, "If I take action, it will be a sure thing!"

Du Gu Xiaoluo looked at Zhu Biqiong with envy, envying her irreplaceable value. In her small world, there was a very clear value system. It depended on her past and influenced her life.

"I don't know." Hu Laogen said with a bitter face, "These two people died of the same illness."

"What did the doctors say?" Zhu Biqiong naturally entered the state of solving the case. But as soon as she spoke, it was clear that she was not a professional.

There were no proper doctors in Qingyang Town. Those few doctors could only treat minor illnesses. They probably couldn't even figure out the cause of death in these cases.

Jiang Wang sat up straight. His family used to run a medicine shop, so he was sensitive to illnesses.

"What were their symptoms?"

"They both had high fever, pus, and bleeding..." Hu Laogen sounded mournful, "They were both young."

"Are they related?"

"No, one was from the north of town, and the other was from the south. They didn't know each other."

Although it couldn't be determined what it was, the fact that two cases had the same illness indicated the possibility of contagion.

Jiang Wang asked, "What about the bodies?"

"They...they were buried."

It wasn't realistic to expect this old man to explain the situation clearly.

Jiang Wang asked directly, "What do they have in common?"

Hu Laogen was a little confused, "What do you mean by common?"

Du Gu Xiaoluo interjected, "Where have they been recently?"

"Ah, they went to the city!"

For the people in this land, going to the city meant going to Jiacheng.

Jiang Wang immediately stood up, "I'm going to Jiacheng now."

First, he wanted to find out if the illness originated from Jiacheng, and second, Xizi Chu, who came from Dongwang Valley, was skilled in medicine and as a member of the Xi family, it was his duty to contribute to the people of Jiacheng.

"Xiaoxiao, you stay here with Hu Laogen and isolate everyone who has had contact with the deceased. If there are any obstacles, let your sister Zhu help you solve them."

Xiaoxiao was better at handling specific tasks. Although Zhu Biqiong was a transcendent cultivator, she was not as good at dealing with worldly matters.

He had heard his father talk about many terrible medical cases since he was young and had seen many families ruined by serious illnesses. He knew the power of diseases.

Qingyang Town had tens of thousands of people, including the town and the villages. Jiang Wang couldn't afford to be negligent. He arranged everything as soon as possible and went to Jiacheng alone.

...

Xizi Chu's eyelids had been twitching recently. Since the layout of the Hu family's mine, he felt that something was being hidden from him at home. But since his father didn't say anything, he didn't ask.

After all, Ximu Nan was the lord of Jiacheng City.

He was the future of the Xi family, but if he tried to take control now, it would be presumptuous.This was also the reason why Master Liu had always deliberately kept his distance from him.

The streets were bustling with carriages and horses, filled with noise and prosperity.

The Xi family had done well in Jia City, but anyone with more long-term ambitions would not allow themselves to be too eager for quick success.

They rested on the livelihood of the people and accumulated their reputation.

Xi Zichu was willing to pay a large amount of compensation to repair the relationship with the Zhongxuan family, all for this reason.

With a disguise on his face and wrapped in a large robe, Xi Zichu wandered around his own city.

Given his fame in this city, he couldn't go out without doing so.

The failure at the Hu's mine had given him a heavy blow, shattering his arrogance.

He realized that not only Jiang Wang, but even Hu Shaomeng, who had always been suppressed by him, might not have lost to him.

He suppressed Hu Shaomeng by using the power of the Xi family. And Jiang Wang even wore the "power" of the Zhongxuan family as a coat, never leaving him.

But compared to the failure of this treasure hunt, what he found most difficult to accept was his father Xi Munan's words - "You disappoint me."

Others didn't know, but he remembered that he had grown up in criticism and suppression.

From childhood to adulthood, he had never received a word of praise from his father, even though he studied power and strategy, practiced hard, and studied medicine... he tried hard to be the best in everything.

Despite the combination of medicinal fragrance and publicity tactics, all the eligible girls in Jia City were flocking to him, not to mention the flattery from the clan members and subordinates.

But without his father's approval, he always felt lost in his heart.

Now he had reached the Soaring Dragon Realm, he was confident that he could surpass his father and achieve the Inner Mansion within five years. Perhaps then, his father would be satisfied?

"You disappoint me."

But these words kept echoing in his ears.

Like a nail, it nailed all his floating pride directly to death.
