The Talented Doctor 58 Sealed State

The light in He Xi's eyes shined brighter and brighter. She had completely forgotten how distant and cautious she had treated Nan Gongyu earlier as she leaned toward him. "Did you just say you have a way to lift the seal from my dantian? Can I practice normally once the seal has been lifted?"

The light scent from the girl's body hovered at the tip of Nan Gongyu's nose, and the burning flame in his eyes intensified.

He thought of her ruthlessness at Tao Tie Pavilion, the decisiveness she displayed at Zhu mansion, her crafty but witty behavior under the candlelight, and how her eyes blazed with concentration when she was saving someone.

He and the girl shared so many similarities, but she was more unique. He even found her viciousness and small-mindedness adorable. He wished he could imprison her by his side forever.

Nan Gongyu reached out and caressed He Xi's long eyelashes with his slender finger. "Come tomorrow morning at the hour of Yi[1]. I will be waiting for you here. Then, we will go and collect the necessary items for lifting the seal." His voice was low and husky.

A light suddenly lit up in He Xi's eyes as soon as he finished. Just then, the man—who had been staring intently at her—had vanished.

The man's strong scent lingering in the room dispersed gradually. Only the fragrance from the tea remained.

He Xi thought she was having a dream earlier if it wasn't for the burning sensation above her eyelashes.

G**d.a.m.n b.a.s.t.a.r.d! He disappeared without making himself clear again. Does he think he's great just because his level of cultivation is high?

He Xi stood rooted at the spot as she seethed in anger. A while later, she finally left, still annoyed. However, she didn't know that Qing Long was watching from afar as shock began to well inside him.

A hairpin was holding the youth's hair up, and it was marked by a pure spiritual power which he could vaguely feel. The aura emitted from the spiritual power clearly belonged to his master who hated it when his aura became tainted by others?

W-What exactly is her relationship with Master?

…

As the sun set, night engulfed the earth completely. At this point, lights had been lit throughout a remote luxury house.

A dignified elderly man was standing in the hall. He hunched his back to examine a corpse with a look of despise. Another middle-aged man in a gray robe stood beside him. The latter wore a respectful look while he observed the elderly although there was fear written on his face.

If He Xi was present, she would recognize this man in gray. He was Physician Xie, the man who had a clash with her this afternoon. The corpse laying on the floor was the person who had stalked her. The man in black ultimately died a violent death when Nan Gongyu shattered his heart arteries from a distance.

The elderly man finally straightened his body with a frown after a long examination. "This person has an extremely high level of cultivation, probably even higher than mine. Were there any witnesses who saw his face?"

Physician Xie shook his head with haste and replied, "w.a.n.g Fu was already dead by the time our men found him. The strangest thing is he had died at a place not far away from Ji Sheng Pharmacy, without leaving any word."

The elderly pondered for a moment, "Is there a possibility that the culprit is a youth?"

"No way!" Physician Xie growled in return as his face twisted with anger so vicious that it replaced his earlier respectful expression. "I did not feel any fluctuation of spiritual power from that kid, not even when he was in the middle of the treatment. Elder Jiang, I can guarantee that he was an ordinary man without any cultivation."
