Peerless Medical Emperor

"A person like that... we’ll deal with him slowly. There’s no rush."

Chen Qingdi said with a smile.

"So Mr. Chen already had a plan."

"That’s wonderful."

"As long as we can take down Luo Yidao and make an evil man like him pay the price, that’s all that matters."

Gong Liangbu said.

"Don’t worry. Nie Xing should come looking for us tonight."

Chen Qingdi said.

"Okay, so what do we do now?"

Gong Liangbu asked.

"Right now, we go back. You need to tidy up the courtyard for me again."

"We need to show the proper attitude when welcoming a guest."

Chen Qingdi said.

"Okay."

Gong Liangbu nodded repeatedly.

After the two returned to the small courtyard, they immediately started cleaning. However, Gong Liangbu did most of the work.

The courtyard wasn’t actually that small; it was over a hundred square meters.

It was just a bit sparse on flowers and plants.

As for the two bronze vats in front of the courtyard, Chen Qingdi didn’t have Gong Liangbu move them.

He was deliberately waiting for Nie Xing.

Gong Liangbu, however, wasn’t entirely sure if Nie Xing would actually come.

But seeing Chen Qingdi looking so incredibly calm, he couldn’t help but wonder, ’Will Nie Xing really come, just because I gave him an Ancestral Spirit Pill?’

Luo Yidao’s banquet ended after two or three hours.

Zhang Feng and Zhao Chongjian left first, but Luo Yidao specifically asked Nie Xing to stay behind.

"Nie Xing, you seem distracted."

"What’s wrong?"

Luo Yidao said, feigning concern.

"It’s nothing."

"I just had a little too much to drink and feel a bit out of it."

Nie Xing said with a smile.

"Haha, is that so?"

Luo Yidao still seemed a bit unconvinced.

"I’m going to the restroom, I’ll be right back. I take it you have something you want to say to me, Luo?"

Nie Xing said.

"Yes. I’ll wait for you in the living room."

After speaking, Luo Yidao headed toward the living room.

Nie Xing, meanwhile, went to the restroom. Once inside, he took out the note Chen Qingdi had left for him from his pocket.

His expression changed drastically after seeing what was written on it.

It read: "Earth Palace star clash. Luo Yidao will kill you. Be careful. This is a trap."

Reading this, Nie Xing was shocked. ’Why would Chen Qingdi leave me a note like this?’

’Does Luo Yidao really want to kill me? Or is Chen Qingdi just trying to sow discord?’

Either way, Nie Xing now had his suspicions about Luo Yidao, but he didn’t let it show.

Luo Yidao was a ruthless man. Having been by his side for a long time, Nie Xing knew this well, so he mentally reminded himself to be extra careful.

"Nie Xing, are you still in the restroom?"

Soon, Luo Yidao’s voice sounded from outside the door.

"Yeah, I’ll be right out."

Nie Xing said.

Luo Yidao’s behavior today was indeed a bit strange; it felt like he was watching Nie Xing’s every move.

Nie Xing was actually quite repulsed by this behavior.

But he didn’t show his disgust, instead putting on a sincere expression.

Nie Xing quickly came out of the restroom.

"What, do you need to use the restroom too, Luo?"

Nie Xing asked as soon as he came out.

"No."

"I just noticed you were gone for a while and came to check on you."

Luo Yidao said.

"It hasn’t been that long, has it?"

Nie Xing said with a laugh.

"Come, let’s talk in the living room. I have something important to tell you."

Luo Yidao said.

"Okay."

Nie Xing smiled and nodded.

After following Luo Yidao to the living room, Luo Yidao immediately put an arm around Nie Xing’s shoulders with a smile.

"Brother, you’ve worked hard for me these past two years. I’ve prepared a big gift for you this time."

"You have no idea, do you?"

Luo Yidao said, smiling at Nie Xing.

"Thank you, Luo. You shouldn’t have gone to the trouble."

Nie Xing said.

"I’ve already received more than enough from you. If I were to take anything else, I’d be a real piece of work."

"I can’t accept it."

But Nie Xing shook his head.

"Come on, just take a look before you refuse."

As he spoke, Luo Yidao walked to a wall in the main hall.

He pressed a spot on the wall lightly, and a door opened within it.

There was actually a secret room inside.

Nie Xing was very surprised to see this.

Luo Yidao had asked him to design this villa back then, since he didn’t know much about Feng Shui.

But Nie Xing clearly remembered that he hadn’t designed a secret room in this location.

It seemed Luo Yidao had secretly designed it himself, hiding it from him.

Although this angered Nie Xing somewhat, he still acted normal, his face calm.

But Nie Xing knew he couldn’t enter this secret room. An aura of killing intent flowed around Luo Yidao; it seemed he really did want to kill him.

"I put the gift in the secret room."

"Come in with me."

Luo Yidao said, smiling at Nie Xing.

"There’s no need."

"Luo, I’ll always remember your kindness to me."

"There’s no need for these superficial displays. The bond between us is in our hearts."

But Nie Xing shook his head, refusing to go.

Seeing this, Luo Yidao was clearly displeased.

"What? You don’t believe what I say anymore?"

"I told you to come in, so come in."

Luo Yidao said with a smile.

"Really, there’s no need. Luo, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to head back."

"I just remembered, I have a client to meet this afternoon."

"I already promised to go to his house and check the Feng Shui."

Nie Xing said.

"Alright, then."

Luo Yidao could only nod.

But the moment Nie Xing turned his back, Luo Yidao’s eyes blazed with killing intent.

SWOOSH! He lunged directly at Nie Xing.

He struck out with his palm, clearly aiming to kill.

Nie Xing felt a rush of wind from behind and quickly dodged to the side.

He had been on guard against Luo Yidao the whole time.

But he hadn’t expected Luo Yidao to actually attack him.

With a flicker of movement, Nie Xing dashed out into the courtyard.

Luo Yidao charged out after him.

Luo Yidao followed him into the courtyard, his face murderous as he glared at Nie Xing.

"You want to kill me?"

Nie Xing stared at Luo Yidao in disbelief.

"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to, you brat. Did you collude with Gong Liangbu a long time ago?"

"Are you planning to move against me?"

"Why else would he give you an Ancestral Spirit Pill?"

Luo Yidao stared coldly at Nie Xing.

Nie Xing’s expression turned cold.

"Now I see what kind of person you truly are."

"After everything I’ve done for you, in the end, you’re trying to kill me over a mere suspicion."

Nie Xing stared at Luo Yidao, his face filled with disappointment, but Luo Yidao looked completely unfazed.
