The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 169 - Anxious
Deep in the peaceful and peaceful town of Fanlu, little children were running along the bustling streets. Wholesalers were busy attracting customers, the noise dominating the prosperous city. In just a few months, Fanlu City came back to life as it once was.
The joy in the peaceful city did not even cool the heart of a young man under a shady tree. Tired of being assigned as a Pillar did not bother him, the young man with thick black eyebrows and pitch-black eyes felt excessive anxiety later on.
His letter was not returned by his brother. Then how could Xin Zhan make sure that his sister was okay?
Xin Fai had already found out and had found no results that could calm her heart.
The beautiful girls peeked at Xin Zhan giggling, seeing the young man being pondered like mad by love. Though in his mind was crossed a shadow when slapping his sister's cheek for not giving news.
"Always, Mom and Dad are here and now it's your turn that's not there." Xin Zhan was even so unfocused in her work, she noticed the clam bracelet on her wrist. Birthday gift for her and Xin Chen from the mother.
Ever since childhood they had a strong inner bond, when Xin Chen was why-why he always felt such overwhelming anxiety. Like at the moment.
There was a desire to follow his younger brother to the Wei Empire. Xin Zhan got up from his seat, walking hurriedly before one call held back his steps.
That person was his friend whom he had assigned to find out Xin Chen's whereabouts.
"I don't want to make small talk. One piece of information I got, the two Imperial spies assigned to oversee the performance of the Shadow Pillar have not sent out any reports since the past three weeks. Most likely, they're dead."
Unknowingly Xin Zhan's hand clenched. He closed his eyes, receiving bad news that made his heart even more uneasy.
"Don't you ever say you're going there" said his friend with a warning that was clearly visible on his face. "Rather than that, you better think about the one surprising thing Miss Xiu found."
"About what?"
"The medicine that might make you hate half-dead with a woman named Ren Su."
Xin Zhan followed his friend as quickly as possible, towards a place that looked beautiful in his courtyard. Various medicinal plants and flowers with efficacy on display in front of the store. That place was where Xiu Qiaofeng usually worked. To develop the ability to treat it.
They meet a grandfather whose age may be almost touching the number 80 years, his old eyes are narrow almost invisible again. He greeted with a smile.
"What are you saying, gentlemen, come here?"
"Well, I just came over and grandpa forgot about me?"
"Oh ... You must have bought flowers for your partner, huh?" guess it while laughing. Xin Zhan's friend throttled,
"I have a lover. The goat immediately looked away when it saw me."
"Haha, sit down first. I'll call Xiu Qiaofeng ..."
"I have a job, Xin Zhan the rest you ask Xiu Qiaofeng."
The young man departed from there just as Xiu Qiaofeng exited the inner door of the shop. Recognize Xin Zhan and instantly find out what brought the young man to his place.
"of course. I got to know this from a distant brother. But haven't gotten any other news since that day" Xin Zhan explained. Xiu Qiaofeng pulled up the seat, allowing his guest to sit in front of him while pulling out some notes and the results of the concoction of the medicine he was researching.
"Do you know who first learned about this?"
Xin Zhan shook his head in response no. Xiu Qiaofeng flicked his finger, "Your sister, Xin Chen the skinny boy."
Xin Zhan was no wonder the girl had named her strange sister, it seemed like there was indeed a grudge between the two. On the other hand he did not know that it was Xin Chen who knew about this matter, his sister did not say anything about Ren Su. Maybe because at that time his assumption was still vague, or indeed because his brother did not want to damage the brotherly bond between his mother and Ren Su.
"And I get many types of illegal drugs whose content is similar to that given by Mrs Ren Su."
Xiu Qiaofeng took out a box of dangerous medicines, "Be careful, don't touch it."
Xin Zhan looked at the contents inside, before Xiu Qiaofeng explained more.
"There is no information yet on how Mrs Ren Su made or obtained this medicine. But in fact, this drug carries a type of disease that can attack the body periodically. The longer the patient takes this medicine, the worse it will be. It can be fatal, it can't be cured."
"You sure about that?"
Xin Zhan could hardly believe Xiu Qiaofeng's words. Grandfather who was busy keeping the store hoarded, still while cleaning the flowers.
"We've done some animal testing. Use the drug in high amounts. And the result is very, very severe" he said, shaking his head, showing no hope.
"I intend to report this with the evidence. But last night, a bunch of thieves broke into this store. Try to think ... In a drug store, what would you like to steal? Except for the jewelry store, it could've happened."
"And all your evidence was stolen?" Xin Zhan was able to read what happened next.
"Now I have to start all over again. You have to be careful about Ren Su, I don't know what the motive is for doing this. Maybe a grudge, or an unfinished problem."
Xin Zhan couldn't even remember which evil deeds made the woman to the point of harming her mother and even Xin Xia - who might have taken the medicine from her. Though his mother always did good to them, not missed a visit every month by bringing the fruit of the hand to the woman's house. Xin Zhan will investigate this matter, it cannot be allowed to.
If it was true that Ren Su did so and did not acknowledge his actions, then Xin Zhan would take serious action on this matter.
"Young Master! Young Master Xin First!"
The cry outside the shop sounded loud, the panic from his tone felt especially stark. Xin Zhan rushed up to look outside the street, finding a man calling out to him, that person was staying only a few houses away from him.
"What's wrong?" Xin Zhan approached swiftly, reading the panic on that face as a bad omen.
"Mrs Ren was unconscious in her room ... I saw a woman come out of your house, unfortunately I'm late and just saw the Mistress' mouth full of blood. Hurry, Sir. Madam needs you!"
Xin Zhan felt his body cold instantly, running as fast as he could without caring about the people he hit. Xin Zhan got home in a matter of minutes, seeing her house again crowded. Some approached and explained, Xin Zhan forced his way in.
Found the only servant employed in his house lifeless.
