Chapter 482: Chapter 482: Don’t Neglect Me for Too Long

This time it was a call from Haicheng.

Zhou Yu made the call.

Huo Xingzhou turned on the speakerphone so Qiao Xi could hear, and Zhou Yu’s carefree voice came through from the other end.

"Hello, Huo Er! The task you asked me to do is all taken care of. The Liu Family has already sent a top-level artifact restorer to the Imperial Capital, and they should be arriving about now. The Liu Family said it’s one of their own, so they can be absolutely trusted."

Zhou Yu didn’t dare to delay and didn’t even question why they specifically needed a restorer.

Isn’t the Imperial Capital the cradle of artifact restorers? Wouldn’t it be more convenient to find someone there?

"Got it."

Zhou Yu added, "It seems the Liu Family also asked Xu Yunye to go to the Imperial Capital too. I’m not too clear on the specifics."

Huo Xingzhou hadn’t even spoken yet when Sun Weimeng exploded in anger!

"Xu Yunye? What’s he coming for? Isn’t one lackey enough for you?" Sun Weimeng felt a threat and wished he could immediately fight Xu Yunye.

Zhou Yu chuckled and said: "Sun Weimeng, that’s all the ambition you have! It’s not even confirmed if Xu Yunye is going yet; you’ll know once he arrives."

He said a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Sun Weimeng muttered to himself on the side, full of resentment.

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but laugh.

She pulled out each of the long needles from Huo Xingzhou’s body and handed him his white shirt: "Put this on. You need to rest properly during this period and not think about anything else."

Her meaning was clear.

Huo Xingzhou slowly got up, revealing a large expanse of his chest.

He leisurely put on his clothes. Having been forced to sleep well last night, he was in very good spirits today.

Qiao Xi stretched out her hand to straighten his collar, "I’ll be very busy next. I need to review all the medicinal materials and decoctions and basic needle techniques, so don’t distract me."

Huo Xingzhou grasped her wrist, his voice low: "As you wish."

Sun Weimeng on the side was seething with envy.

A little while later.

The maid Xiaoyun hurried upstairs: "Young master, Young Madam, there are visitors from Haicheng! They said the Liu Family specially came to solve your problems and are carrying a very strange box."

Sun Weimeng immediately ran out; he wanted to see if that bastard Xu Yunye had come.

Huo Xingzhou adjusted his clothes, his expression indifferent: "Let’s go down and see."

"Wait for me a moment, I’ll go to the bedroom and grab that copy of Plum Blossom Nine Needles."

Qiao Xi quickly ran out, took out that yellowed medical book.

Then she went downstairs with Huo Xingzhou.

...

In the living room.

Xiaoyun had prepared tea for the guests and discreetly left.

As Qiao Xi came down from the staircase, she saw a clean-looking old gentleman in his sixties or seventies, wearing glasses and exuding a scholarly aura, with a very unique toolbox by his side.

She guessed that inside this toolbox were perhaps the tools for artifact restoration.

Qiao Xi looked at him with a bit of solemnity in her eyes: "Hello."

The old gentleman pushed up his black-framed glasses, stood up and said: "Miss, hello, just call me Old Fang. Just let me know what you need, I am very discreet."

Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou exchanged glances, and he nodded.

She handed over the medical book, the Plum Blossom Nine Needles, with both hands to the old gentleman: "Master Fang, this isn’t any precious artifact. I would like you to see if there’s a secret compartment in this book and, if there is, please help me retrieve it."

"Okay."

Master Fang took the medical book, opened his entire toolbox revealing neatly arranged tools that dazzled the eyes.

He first used his fingers to carefully flip through the pages, then used his fingertips to feel.

With his masterful experience, he easily noticed something unusual about the pages of the book. After carefully examining it with a magnifying glass and tweezers, he finally said to Qiao Xi, "Miss, there indeed is something inside."

Qiao Xi’s breathing became unsteady, "Can it be taken out?"

Master Fang replied, "The sealing of this object is very well done, I need to study this carefully."

"Alright, I’ll arrange for your accommodation for now. Xiaoyun..."

As Qiao Xi was about to instruct Xiaoyun to arrange a room for Master Fang, she was interrupted by Huo Xingzhou.

He said, "I have already arranged a place for Master Fang through Old Chen, including bodyguard protection. He will be taken care of with three meals a day in a small villa near us."

Master Fang hurriedly responded, "That’s great! I prefer quieter places with fewer people. If I make any progress, I’ll immediately report to the Miss!"

Qiao Xi nodded in agreement.

Huo Xingzhou shouted, "Old Chen, take Master Fang there, and come back after everything is settled."

"Alright."

Old Chen respectfully escorted Master Fang away.

The living room quieted down, Sun Weimeng curiously looked at them, "You guys have secrets again, is there a treasure map in this book by any chance?"

Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou only smiled without a word.

Sun Weimeng huffily said, "I’m not dealing with you guys, I’m going out to have fun!"

Taking his car keys and phone, he ran out, being familiar with the renowned clubs and bars of the Imperial Capital these past few days.

Qiao Xi reminded, "Take Old Chen with you!"

Sun Weimeng waved his hand nonchalantly as he walked away, it was unclear whether he agreed or refused.

Once Sun Weimeng was gone,

Qiao Xi laughed and said to Huo Xingzhou, "Last time at the Guan Family’s celebration, thanks to Young Master Sun, he has many beauties of the Imperial Capital in his phone. One call and they all came over, I don’t know how he does it."

Huo Xingzhou’s lips curved slightly, "Although Sun Weimeng loves to play and cause trouble, he always becomes a lethal weapon when you least expect it."

If used well, he is a decisive move in the game.

Qiao Xi lightly sighed, "I need to go upstairs to prepare the medicinal decoction, please make yourself at home."

Huo Xingzhou grabbed her wrist, drew her into his arms, and firmly kissed her lips, "Don’t neglect me too long."

Looking up, Qiao Xi smirked, "Starting today, I’ll leave you out in the cold!"

She pushed Huo Xingzhou away and ran lightly up the stairs.

Huo Xingzhou had given her a new set of Golden Needles, making her think of a past famous Chinese doctor known for the Gold Needle Technique, perhaps the legacy still exists.

She wanted to try if the acupuncture therapy was feasible, as it’s very effective for external injuries and inflammation.

...

As night fell,

The Imperial Capital was bustling, especially the dark corners of the Golden Den.

Young Master Sun played with his car keys, effortlessly entering one of the busiest bars in the Imperial Capital.

He didn’t want to bring Old Chen along. Despite looking simple and honest, Old Chen’s muscular physique was particularly attractive to young ladies.

These days, Sun Weimeng was hardly idle, coming here for a few drinks and looking for pretty girls.

Yet comparing any of them to Guan Jingtan made them all seem lacking.

He sat at the bar, ordering the bartender to directly serve the most classic cocktail, sipping it somewhat bored.

Unaware of someone approaching from behind!

Suddenly!

Someone powerfully yanked him, and Sun Weimeng fell off the high bar stool.

"Who is it?"

He fell on his buttocks, glaring and furiously shouting, "Which blind fool dares to mess with me!"
