Chapter 880: Chapter 878: The Transmigrated Woman Bound to the Good Pregnancy System 22
Ah Chen didn’t care about Jiang Xun’s scrutiny, sipping his wine slowly as if making small talk.
After all, they were on the same side. What’s the harm in revealing some information so the other wouldn’t run around the Capital City for no reason? Anyway, Ye Shuangzhou would return to the Capital City, so he might as well wait there.
"Doctor Jiang’s medical skills are excellent. You must know this Ye Shuangzhou, right?" Ah Chen asked.
Jiang Xun had snapped back to reality. Regardless of who this Miss Qin was, he was sure she wouldn’t harm him.
"I know him." Jiang Xun replied and finished his drink in one gulp. "His medical skills are indeed impressive."
But he is not a good person.
"I don’t think he’s a good man." Ah Chen commented. "Does Doctor Jiang have any more information? I heard that the former Valley Master of Medicine King Valley died young. Is there some secret behind this?"
Jiang Xun couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eye. If it weren’t for his intuition that Qin Chen would never harm him, he would have mistaken her for someone sent by Ye Shuangzhou to test him.
But upon thinking it over, no matter who Qin Chen was, Ye Shuangzhou couldn’t possibly know of his existence.
He hid his true face not to conceal his identity, but to avoid drawing attention.
What identity could he have, being an orphan?
Upon heading to the Capital City, what he needed to do would inevitably expose him to Ye Shuangzhou. In other words, the two would inevitably confront each other sooner or later.
"There is indeed a secret." Jiang Xun whispered, "The former Valley Master Luo Feng was actually murdered by his first disciple, Ye Shuangzhou. But the Medicine King Valley never involved itself in Jianghu disputes, its location remained secretive, and the incident happened too quickly. The former Valley Master never anticipated being betrayed by his own disciple, which is why the affairs of the Medicine King Valley were later completely at Ye Shuangzhou’s discretion."
However, Ye Shuangzhou didn’t foresee that after Luo Feng fell into the sea, he survived, even if he became a cripple. His skills were unmatched, and he found a successor.
This successor was him—Jiang Xun.
Yet his master’s body was too depleted, and shortly after passing on all his knowledge, he died. His lifelong confusion was the betrayal from his first disciple, utterly without warning.
Before his death, his master didn’t demand revenge, only suggesting that if he had the strength, he should visit Medicine King Valley. But for him, this vendetta had to be settled, along with uncovering why Ye Shuangzhou betrayed his master, to truly honor his master’s benevolence.
Killing Ye Shuangzhou outright wasn’t easy. Medicine King Valley specialized in medicine and poison, not martial arts. Later, he leveraged his medical skills to learn some exceptional techniques, so his martial skills improved.
But he couldn’t guarantee overpowering Ye Shuangzhou, which is why he concocted various poisons that Ye Shuangzhou couldn’t counteract. This made his plans easier to execute and ensured Ye Shuangzhou would pay. After all, Ye Shuangzhou had shown no mercy, using countless poisons against his master, and if it weren’t for his master’s prowess, he wouldn’t have survived falling into the sea.
"I heard the Seventh Prince is also ill." Ah Chen said, shifting away from the Medicine King Valley topic.
Jiang Xun was curious; after all, she wasn’t in the Capital City. How did she know so much? Could she have a powerful intelligence network? If so, it wasn’t surprising.
Ah Chen knew, naturally, through the Good Pregnancy System.
By now, the four individuals who persecuted the commissioner had all been bound, waiting for them to consummate with women, and they would become pregnant. However many the commissioner had birthed initially, they must produce the same amount, and these children had to be their children from the second cycle.
It was tragic. All these children sided with their fathers. As kids, they could be excused for their ignorance, but upon growing up, they knew of the commissioner’s struggles and yet chose to ignore them, considering the commissioner a femme fatale and were ashamed of such a mother.
She intended for them to return.
If they were left in the dark, wouldn’t it be too easy for them?
"What illness?" Jiang Xun grew interested. After concocting the last two poisons, he had planned to head to Medicine King Valley, only to later learn that Ye Shuangzhou had gone to the Capital City and was by the Seventh Prince Pei Hui’s side, though he wasn’t clear on the specifics.
Ah Chen said, "That I don’t know."
Would anyone believe her if she said Pei Hui was pregnant?
Jiang Xun didn’t press further but felt she knew the inside story.
The next day, Ah Chen and her group resumed their journey.
Ji Qing’s attendant student had even bought quilts from the inn, suggesting the journey might be more comfortable.
Ah Chen, with keen senses, overheard the student talking to Ji Qing, "There’s enough time. Since the young master is still ill, it’s not too late to continue once his health improves."
Ji Qing said, "This inn is remote, nowhere near a village or shop, and even for recuperation, it’s better to find a town. Otherwise, if it snows, life would be difficult. I have honors, so bandits should hesitate to harm me, and we carry nothing of worth to provoke them. Travelling alone isn’t much trouble. But with Doctor Jiang’s party, should anything happen, there’s someone to assist."
"Young master is truly considerate."
Ji Qing came from a modest family, yet he showed talent from a young age. The entire village hoped he would succeed, essentially supporting him to study. He had never suffered hardship, and now, as a scholar, he wasn’t impoverished, easily covering his trip to the Capital City for exams.
The journey was long and exhausting, however.
This time, he was lucky to encounter Doctor Jiang.
The commissioner had no deep-seated resentment with Ji Qing, yet Ah Chen wouldn’t aid him. In the first cycle, it was Ji Qing who broke his promise. Breaking it was one thing, but he refused to let go, deserving that knife.
At Medicine King Valley, Mo Ying had been waiting for some time.
As he saw Ye Shuangzhou’s carriage return, all clad in black with his face covered, Mo Ying emerged from the carriage.
"I heard the Master is ill. What illness?" Ye Shuangzhou stepped from the carriage, accompanied unexpectedly by two women on either side, both beautiful.
Ye Shuangzhou was not one to shun beauties. In past and present lives, he was fond of them. After reaching the Capital City, Pei Hui knew his preferences and arranged for numerous beauties in the residence gifted to him. During his free time, he frequented this place.
Mo Ying showed no reaction to this scene, his voice cold, "Master Ye, let’s discuss inside."
"The Master’s voice sounds familiar." Ye Shuangzhou chuckled. Since the other had a request, he dared not act rashly.
What illness had Mo Ying contracted? Ye Shuangzhou sensed the awkwardness in the other’s voice.
Had he misjudged, and it was indeed about losing Qin Chen, leading Mo Ying to seek his aid in that regard?
Mo Ying followed him inside, with Ye Shuangzhou dismissing everyone else.
Mo Ying dismissed his people as well, knowing Ye Shuangzhou had recognized him. He didn’t bother to hide anymore and removed his mask.
"So, it’s you." Ye Shuangzhou smiled faintly.
Mo Ying’s voice remained icy, tinged with a mix of shame and resentment, "Master Ye, please diagnose me, and I hope today’s matter remains confidential."
"Of course." Ye Shuangzhou quickly replied.
Mo Ying took a deep breath, appearing to brace himself, before extending his hand.
