Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers Chapter 380

Chapter 380: Chapter 380 Covetous Heart

“There's really no other way, we have to burn them!”

Huang Zai'an gritted his teeth, appearing resolute, “We also need to take action against that old thief Lin Yuan in the Capital City sooner rather than later. He deserves to die!”

As for burning Lin Yuan to death, Qi Yue had no objections.

After all, she didn't want to give that old immortal a single pill!

He had done all sorts of evil deeds and caused the death of so many people, there was no death too cruel for him.

But most of the hundred or so people here were just ordinary citizens!

Especially those who were brought in later, all of them had families!

To just watch these people die didn't seem quite right.

No matter what, as a doctor, one must strive until the last moment!

After discussing, the three of them decided to leave the matter of dealing with Lin Yuan to Zhao Xiyan.

Qi Yue, on the other hand, would spend more effort researching how to save these Frozen People.

Huang Zai'an was the most idle among them, but he too had a troublesome task–to watch over the changes in the Frozen People, and in case of any situation, to act quickly to deal with it.

When leaving, Qi Yue went to take a look at Madam Hu.

Among the first to be frozen in the Hu Family, this woman was the worst affected–it seems she was the first to be infected.

Now, apart from a faint heartbeat, she showed no signs of life at all.

She was completely like a vegetable.

While conducting the examination, Huang Zai'an suddenly blurted out a question.

“Apprentice, what on earth is this active nerve thing that can turn people into this state?”

Qi Yue pursed her lips.

How could she answer that?

Truth be told, up until now, she also didn't know how to define this thing.

The White Rhino's horn could instantly heal Zhao Xiyan's leg, its blood was blue and had the miraculous function of instant blood replenishment, all of which she also couldn't explain clearly.

“All I can say is, it's unclear, this thing is a bit complicated, and there's a lot to study.”

Huang Zai'an nodded gravely in response.

“It's all up to you, apprentice. I have a suggestion for you, do you want to hear it?”

“Since when have you been so courteous, Master? Just tell me,” Qi Yue said, continuing her examination.

Unexpectedly, Huang Zai'an kept making gestures, signaling her to come out and speak privately.

Qi Yue was puzzled. What could it be that she couldn't say in front of these dead bodies?

Still, she obediently followed him out.

“What's the matter, why so secretive?”

Only then did Huang Zai'an speak, “This matter naturally needs to be kept secret.”

This really piqued Qi Yue's curiosity!

“Out with it quickly, my elder!”

“Apprentice, it's like this…”

Moments later, Qi Yue's eyes widened.

“You want me to dissect Madam Hu?”

“Yes,” Huang Zai'an nodded earnestly.

“Apprentice, for the crimes Hu Chengxuan has committed, someone has to pay. Your master thinks that if we really want to save these hundred people, sacrificing Madam Hu might give us a chance. What do you think?”

Qi Yue actually agreed with this proposal.

In fact, she had wanted to do this for a long time.

But since it had been dismissed by Huang Zai'an after she had suggested it last time, and considering she didn't want to deal with such a disgusting body, she hadn't brought it up again.

She just hadn't expected Huang Zai'an to be the one to bring it up.

She chuckled, “Master, you're still as sharp as old ginger. But I have a condition.”

“What's the condition, apprentice? Just tell me!” Huang Zai'an patted his aged chest with a smack.

Qi Yue gave a sly smile.

“I need you, Master, to be my assistant!”

Huang Zai'an was taken aback, a flash of fear crossing his face.

“You… can't you do it by yourself?”

“Of course not,” Qi Yue gestured exaggeratedly to emulate Madam Hu's size, “She's too big! How can I manage on my own?”

“…Well then, if it's an assistant you need, an assistant it is,” Huang Zai'an suddenly declared fiercely. “For the sake of the people, I'm all in! When do we start? If we're going to do this, we'd better hurry!”

The stark contrast between his earlier and current demeanor took Qi Yue completely by surprise.

“…Does that mean tomorrow?”

“Fine, tomorrow it is,” Huang Zai'an said with finality. “You two take it easy tonight, and come over early in the morning!”

After he finished speaking, the old man strode off with his beard jauntily sticking out!

What did he mean by taking it easy tonight?

Qi Yue suddenly felt as if she had been tricked.

It seemed to her as though the old man was plotting something!

After returning to their residence for dinner that evening, the two of them had a rare quiet moment to talk.

During their conversation, they brought up the events of the day.

“Yueyue, we need to talk seriously about what happened today. You can't just go out like that anymore, understand? The moment I learned of Lin An's true intentions, I rushed to the Hu Residence, but I was still too late.”

Qi Yue thought he was concerned about the things she had said today, and she explained herself.

“I don't actually blame you, and besides, I can protect myself. You can rest assured, right? There's no harm done anyway. By the way, how did you find out?”

“I need to tell you about this matter as well. There's someone in the Feidao Camp who grew up with me.”

“What, really?”

Qi Yue hadn't expected that Zhao Xiyan knew someone from the renowned Feidao Camp.

But Zhao Xiyan changed the subject.

“Yueyue, Hei Lie told me that you fought with Lin An?”

“Yes. I fought him, and he's indeed formidable,” said Qi Yue honestly, but with a hint of pride, “Nevertheless, I took him down.”

Zhao Xiyan, however, kept shaking his head.

“Yueyue, didn't you sense anything strange when you fought him?”

Seeing Zhao Xiyan's serious demeanor, Qi Yue also grew serious and recounted her experience of the fight earlier that day.

“Besides you, that's the first time I've seen such incredible swordsmanship… It was too strange, I just couldn't beat him…”

Just thinking about how Lin An had gotten the better of her in a few exchanges earlier that day made Qi Yue a bit angry.

Knowing that Zhao Xiyan was the jealous type, she didn't show it, so as to avoid making him unhappy and creating unnecessary trouble.

“…Hey, looks like you'll have to teach me some real skills in the future…”

“If Yueyue wants to learn, that's great. But from now on, I won't let you go alone,” Zhao Xiyan said, his expression growing colder.

“…It was pure luck that we caught Lin An today, but from now on, Yueyue, you must be very careful. Now, I'm going to tell you about Lin An's true identity.”

“Why?” Qi Yue was somewhat puzzled. “Do you mean that Prime Minister Lin will send other members of the Feidao Camp to seek revenge?”

Zhao Xiyan shook his head.

“Lin Yuan is no longer of any use; he's a Nanyue man.”

“A Nanyue man? Why?” Qi Yue was increasingly confused.

Zhao Xiyan narrowed his eyes.

“It primarily concerns Lin An's true identity.”

“True identity?” Qi Yue was a bit taken aback. “Isn't he Lin Changye's son?”

“No, I just found out today that Lin An has deep ties with the Nanyue Longting Guard,” Zhao Xiyan explained.

“The Longting Guard? The Emperor of Nanyue's Longting Guard?” Qi Yue furrowed her brows.

“Exactly,” Zhao Xiyan confirmed, getting to the crux of the conversation.

The Nanyue Longting Guard is an elite unit exclusive to the Emperor, and its commander is named Sheng Gong.

Sheng Gong is exceptional in martial arts, with his Deathblade unrivaled in the world. His daughter, Sheng Cuihua, mastered the secrets of Deathblade at a young age and is incredibly powerful, holding her own within the Longting Guard.

About twenty years ago, Lin Changye was on a diplomatic mission to Nanyue, and somehow, he had a brief affair with Sheng Cuihua.

A year later, Sheng Cuihua suddenly told Lin Changye to come and collect his son, who was Lin An.

How the two kept in touch afterwards, and how Lin An was raised, are details that naturally remain unknown.

But five years ago, a new group emerged within the extreme organization Notorious Persons: the Feidao Camp.

The Feidao Camp was well-trained and brutal in action; they completed every mission with perfection, elevating Notorious Persons to a highly regarded position within the Beiyuan Court.

Even the Royal Guards, established before them, were trampled ruthlessly under their feet.

And the set of sword techniques used by the Feidao Camp actually came from Sheng Gong's Deathblade.

As he reached this point in the story, Zhao Xiyan's clear, black-and-white eyes gradually became profound and solemn.

“Yueyue, if not for Lin An developing a covetous desire for you today, I'm afraid…”
