320: Chapter 320 I Miss You 320: Chapter 320 I Miss You Looking at Ming Xizhi with a face worn by dust and travel, Master Ming asked:
“Have you taken care of everything?”
Ming Xizhi replied respectfully, “Everything has been dealt with.”
“You’ve grown a lot this time out, and now I can take a rest,” Master Ming said with a smile.
“I still need father’s guidance!”
“I can’t always be by your side, and you’re not young anymore.
It’s time for you to grow on your own.
Moreover, some of the things you’re doing now are commendable, which puts my mind at ease,” Master Ming said with some satisfaction.
“Father, did you call me back for something urgent?” Ming Xizhi asked.
“What do you think of Zhongzhou?” Master Ming asked.
“A place of outstanding people and spiritual land, with a long history.
Though it’s not as prosperous as the capital, its cultural depth is profound,” Ming Xizhi replied after some thought.
“Indeed, I never expected that the recent flood in Jiangcheng would come from a giant serpent.
Yesterday, the Divine Emperor called me, mentioning this matter, in addition to another discovery that has emerged in Zhongzhou these past days.”
“You’ve been busy with the reconstruction work in Jiangcheng, so I haven’t told you!”
Old Master Ming sighed as he spoke.
Ming Xizhi, puzzled, asked, “Another incident in Zhongzhou?
“An underground cavern was discovered in the western district of Zhongzhou, and what’s happening inside is baffling.
The people from Abnormal People Hall have already gone there,” Master Ming said slowly.
Ming Xizhi frowned upon hearing this and said, “An underground cavern?”
To be precise, it’s an ancient tomb, but the identity of the tomb’s owner remains uncertain.
Initially, it was discovered by archaeologists, but those who entered fell into an inexplicable coma.”
“Right now, the people from Abnormal People Hall are only surveying the perimeter!”
“Father, what can I do?
Abnormal People Hall always acts autocratically, and now that the case has been handed over to them, the local authorities are powerless,” Ming Xizhi said with some confusion.
Old Master Ming shook his head, “By procedure, that’s indeed the case, but the Divine Emperor intends for another person to be involved in this matter, and it’s your job to coordinate with this individual.”
“Qin Han?” Ming Xizhi ventured to ask.
Upon hearing this, Master Ming said with satisfaction, “Correct, it seems you truly have grown.”
“It’s nothing like that; in Zhongzhou, he’s the only one I would need to mediate with!” Ming Xizhi said with a wry smile.
“Ha ha!” Master Ming was amused by Ming Xizhi’s words, “It seems Qin Han really gives you a headache!”
“It’s more than a headache.
Remember the last incident?
He simply wouldn’t give me any face.
If those people hadn’t withdrawn on their own, I’m afraid I would have had to explain myself right here in Zhongzhou,” Ming Xizhi said helplessly.
Hearing this, Master Ming smiled knowingly, “For someone like Mr.
Qin, a bit of temperament is normal.
He’s still one of the good ones, at least he won’t do anything too outrageous.”
“Nevertheless, as soon as you mention this matter to him, he will surely go, without you needing to make a great effort.”
Ming Xizhi asked with some surprise, “Why is that?”
“Take a look at these photos!” said Master Ming as he pulled out a stack of photos from a file bag and handed them to Ming Xizhi.
Ming Xizhi took the photos and studied them carefully.
These photos captured different angles of the ancient tomb, practically showing its entire view.
Suddenly, Ming Xizhi noticed a pattern circled in red on one of the photos.
He immediately asked, “Father, is there something special about this photo?”
“This photo is your bargaining chip to invite Mr.
Qin!” Old Master Ming said with a knowing smile.
Seeing Ming Xizhi’s puzzled look, he continued, “The pattern on it belongs to Medicine King Valley.
The archaeologists say the tomb might very well be that of the Medicine King Sun Sihui!
Qin would be interested?”
“Father, I know what to do now,” Ming Xizhi said with a smile.
“Nevertheless, father, why must Qin Han be involved?”
The Divine Emperor didn’t specify, only insisting that Qin Han must be involved,” Master Ming said, equally puzzled.
“Forget it, we just need to follow the Divine Emperor’s decision.”
Isn’t it time to eat?” Qin Han rose from the Taishi Chair and asked.
Zhang Yalin had just finished preparing a pack of medicine, and upon hearing this, she couldn’t help but say irritably:
“Eat, eat, eat, that’s all you think about.
Don’t you know how much medicine I’ve prepared this morning?
Can’t you go buy food just once?”
Qin Han touched his temple and said, “I can’t find the place where they sell food…”
“Excuses!” Zhang Yalin said, puffed up with anger.
“So when do we eat?” Qin Han asked again.
Something seemed to break inside Zhang Yalin’s heart…
“Flatbread!” Suddenly, Zhang Yalin roared.
Zhong Yuanliang, who had been pondering the Chaos Six Extremes at the doorway, heard her shout and flipped over to the side of the medicine cabinet, asking, “What…
“Him!” Zhang Yalin pouted and looked at Zhong Yuanliang, then pointed her finger at Qin Han.
Zhong Yuanliang followed Zhang Yalin’s finger, and seeing that it was Qin Han, he quickly held her hand and pulled it back, saying anxiously, “Yalin, what are you talking about?
Don’t point randomly!
What do you want to eat, I’ll go buy it!”
“Hopeless case!” Zhang Yalin rolled her eyes at Zhong Yuanliang.
Zhong Yuanliang was also at a loss, for who could blame him when he couldn’t beat Qin Han?
Besides, he was always supposed to look unbeatable in front of Zhang Yalin, which troubled him deeply!
Those who came to the clinic were either normal people or those with extremely high martial skills; either he would have to act and it would look like bullying, or he would get bullied by others.
When would the clinic get someone around his own level, so he could strut his stuff for once?
While pondering, Zhong Yuanliang headed towards the doorway, just about to leave, when he saw Song Yuwei and Xiang Xiao coming in, carrying big and small bags.
How come you have time to come here?” While speaking, Zhong Yuanliang hurriedly took the bags from their hands.
“I’m exhausted!” Xiang Xiao was moving her wrists around, looking at Zhong Yuanliang.
“Yuwei thought the clinic might get busy today, so she brought you guys food,” she said.
Zhong Yuanliang raised his eyebrows, perplexed, “Can the clinic be busier than a company?”
“Do you think you are a tiger or not?” Xiang Xiao said, exasperated.
Seeing Song Yuwei arrive, Qin Han’s face broke into a wide smile; he quickly walked over to her and whispered, “Why have you come at this hour?”
“I’ve come to check on you, to see if you’ve been behaving!” Song Yuwei said playfully.
Qin Han playfully scratched Song Yuwei’s nose and said with a smile, “How could I not?”
Just as Song Yuwei was about to speak, she saw Zhang Yalin coming over, grabbing her hand, and saying with a look of surprise, “Yuwei, why do I feel like you’ve gotten prettier?
Your skin is even better!”
“Not at all, same as always!” Song Yuwei said while touching her face, not noticing the change Zhang Yalin mentioned, feeling everything was quite normal.
“You definitely look prettier, and there’s also some indescribable aura about you.” Zhang Yalin surveyed Song Yuwei with her big eyes.
Xiang Xiao also joined them and pushed Qin Han away, saying, “Brother Qin, go away, go away.
Us girls need to share some heartfelt words.
Why are you still here listening?”
Hearing this, Qin Han shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to walk away.
Song Yuwei gave Qin Han a playful glance, moved her lips, and formed four words with her mouth:
