Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers Chapter 481

Chapter 481: Chapter 482 Going into Business Chapter 481: Chapter 482 Going into Business Qi Yue, under the guise of sending a letter, found out where Li Tianyi was.

He now goes by Li Cheng, working within a department called the Maritime Office.

Zhao Xiyan gave the young military officer in charge of the roster one hundred taels of silver, and the man enthusiastically led them to the location.

The house was very close to the seafront. When the two searched it out, they found Li Tianyi sitting at the doorway sharpening his knife.

“Li Cheng, someone from your family is here!”

The young officer called out to Li Tianyi and then left the two standing there.

Li Tianyi was evidently extremely surprised.

Seeing that there was no one around, Qi Yue didn't engage in much talk with him and directly revealed his identity.

“Li Tianyi, do you still remember who saved you back in Jimo City?”

“You, who are you?”

Li Tianyi looked at both of their faces over and over but clearly did not recognize them.

However, what Qi Yue said had a very good effect.

Li Tianyi looked around in panic, then pointed to a high platform in the distance and said, “Please, let's talk over there.”

With that, he took the lead walking towards it.

Qi Yue and Zhao Xiyan exchanged a look and followed him.

This high platform was used to look out over the sea, far from the ground and very quiet– it was a good place for conversation.

“Which young master's men are you?” As soon as they settled, Li Tianyi asked, his expression somewhat vigilant.

Qi Yue curved his lips slightly and said unceremoniously, “Otherwise, who else knows you were lying at home about to die, and being pressured by the soldiers, unable to leave the city?”

A weeirdly respectful look flashed across Li Tianyi's face.

“The young master saved my life with Spiritual Medicine, for which I am immensely grateful. Whatever you ask, I, Li Tianyi, am willing to serve,” he said, his expression hesitating slightly before he added, “… However, I am a person of Nanyue; I cannot do anything that would harm Nanyue…”

“Heh…” Qi Yue laughed and snorted coldly.

“You indeed know our identities!”

Li Tianyi's cracked lips twitched slightly, and his voice gradually grew softer.

“I have inquired before– in the four countries of the world, only Divine Doctor Qi's Miraculous Medicine can revive the dying. The young master has been very generous, giving away Spiritual Medicine worth a fortune; apart from the Black Feather Guard, there would be no one else…”

Qi Yue snorted and took over the conversation, “Knowing our identities, you should have thought that what we want you to do is related to the Nanyue Imperial Court. Besides that, we don't really have anything else for you to serve.”

Upon hearing this, Li Tianyi looked somewhat flustered as he hung his head, an expression quite inconsistent with his former identity as a warrior ready to die.

After a moment of silence, he raised his head again.

“Saving a life is more important than the heavens. Please, speak. I, Li Tianyi, repay my debts; I will not shirk my responsibilities.”

“It's not as serious as all that,” said Qi Yue, smiling slowly, “since you've never revealed our identities, we won't make things difficult for you… You just need to be clear about why you came here, and that will be the end of it.”

Li Tianyi's expression visibly relaxed.

“Not hiding anything from the two of you, I am also here on the orders of our Emperor, to find solid evidence of Shen Gong's crimes, but up till now, I still haven't figured out exactly what he wants to do in this bay!”

Then, he recounted some things he knew.

Qi Yue listened and was left rather speechless.

What this Li Tianyi knew wasn't much more than what they already knew.

The only thing of value was that he mentioned one thing.

“I've noticed that there's a group of people in this military camp with very secretive identities,” Zhao Xiyan recalled, “I've watched them for two nights, and discovered that they go out to sea during the hours of Hai, not returning until the wee hours of the next day…”

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue's heart gave a jolt, and she couldn't help but ask, “Is there anything strange about them?”

“Strange?” Li Tianyi pondered for a moment. “The second time, I hid among the rocks at the seaside all night and saw those people emerge from the sea, their clothing shimmering with light, tightly clinging to their bodies like… the body of a fish…”

After returning to the inn's courtyard, Qi Yue removed her makeup and lay down on the couch, remaining silent.

Zhao Xiyan knew she was lost in thought again and didn't interrupt. After dealing with the paperwork sent over from various parties, he sat down beside her to keep her company.

Neither of them spoke. They sat quietly, drinking tea for a long while until it was time to sleep, and that's when Qi Yue finally spoke up.

“Husband, we need to make a trip.”

“You're thinking of going out to sea?” Zhao Xiyan had already guessed as much, hence there wasn't a hint of surprise on his face.

“Mhm,” Qi Yue nodded, “Earlier I said I didn't believe Shen Gong was capable of any earth-shattering feats, but after hearing what Li Tianyi said today, I'm not so sure anymore.”

“What are you thinking, Yueyue?”

Qi Yue pursed her lips, carefully choosing her words before saying, “Those fish-like clothes that Li Tianyi mentioned, why do they seem to me like diving suits?”

“Diving suits?” Zhao Xiyan frowned, “The ones you ordered from the Space Mall a few days ago?”

“Right.” Qi Yue sat up straight, her expression turning serious, “If those are indeed diving suits, then we have a serious problem on our hands.”

Zhao Xiyan's expression also became grave.

“If that's the case, it indicates that in this world, there's another person like you… and they have always been hiding in the shadows!”

“It's one thing to be like me. Qing Nanzun also came from elsewhere.” Qi Yue narrowed her eyes, “What worries me is that this person might have a space like mine, able to freely access various things from another world. If that's the case, things could get complicated…”

Thinking about having to fight a countryman in another world, a fight to the death, Qi Yue felt an unpleasant taste in her mouth!

She always thought she was the favored child of destiny.

Bearing a space and born with Innate Divine Strength, blessed with all kinds of good fortune, but who would have thought there was still someone lurking in the shadows?

And this person might very well be in control of everything she's involved in, ready to deliver a deadly blow at any moment?!

“Don't worry, don't think too much about it.” Zhao Xiyan held her hand, comforting her softly.

“You rest, I'll go get a suit, and one look should tell us everything we need to know.”

He glanced at the time; it wasn't far from 9-11 PM.

Qi Yue took Zhao to the Space and located the newest diving suit, instructing him on how to wear it.

Like learning to fly an airplane, Zhao caught on quickly, even looking quite professional. Only then did Qi Yue feel confident about him going alone.

“Husband, if I weren't unable to dive right now, I would join you. Gensheng wants to follow, why not let him provide support from the sea surface?”

“Don't worry, I'll be back soon.”

“But I can't help worrying. At this time, Shen Gong might be entering the city.”

“Stop fretting over it. Shen Gong is here in secret. Even if something was to happen, he wouldn't make a spectacle.”

Qi Yue thought so as well.

If Shen Gong and Zhao Xiyan were to face off, it would undoubtedly be a shockingly powerful battle!

It would certainly shake the world!

Now with Shen Gong preoccupied with his current affairs, he wouldn't let anyone notice this place until he finished what he was dealing with.

After giving a few more instructions, Qi Yue let Zhao Xiyan go.

But Zhao still lingered, watching her enter the Space before feeling reassured enough to leave.
