Rakish Little Immortal Doctor

Jiang Xuehan added: “But our sect really hasn’t done anything bad, all the people in our sect are good people.”

“Really all good people?”

Liu Ruyan let out a few snickers and then said: “If that’s the case, then why didn’t you just join the Cultivator Administration Bureau instead of founding a sect? Is it necessary for you to do so?”

“Of course it’s necessary. My master said that our Tianhua Sect has been handed down from ancient times and has a history of several hundred years,” Jiang Xuehan replied.

“I don’t believe a ghost of what you’re saying,” Liu Ruyan shook her head and said.

“Whether you believe it or not, what I’ve said is the truth,” Jiang Xuehan asserted.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Ruyan suddenly asked: “Then tell me, why did you come to Da’an City? Are you here on some special mission for your sect?”

“No, I was expelled from the sect, I can go anywhere I like. It’s just that I found Da’an City quite decent, so I stayed. I’ve lived here for three years,” Jiang Xuehan said with a helpless expression, her eyes revealing a sorrowful look.

“Expelled from the sect? You mean, you were thrown out by your own sect?” Liu Ruyan asked curiously.

“Not expelled, it’s just that my master is angry with me, won’t let me return, doesn’t want to see me, that’s all,” Jiang Xuehan explained.

“So what is the real reason?” asked Liu Ruyan.

Jiang Xuehan hesitated for a while before finally saying: “My master had made a Divine Wisdom Pill and asked me to deliver it to one of her friends. So I left our sect with the Divine Wisdom Pill to find her friend, but I couldn’t find them.”

“Having no other choice, I had to return to our Tianhua Sect, but along the way, I carelessly lost the Divine Wisdom Pill. My master was furious and, in her anger, drove me out,” Jiang Xuehan said.

Divine Wisdom Pill?

Liu Ruyan was shocked and a daring idea arose in her heart.

The reason why Hei Yue became a Spiritual Beast was because it had accidentally obtained a Divine Wisdom Pill, and after consuming it, its intelligence was awakened.

Could the Divine Wisdom Pill that Hei Yue obtained accidentally be the very one Jiang Xuehan lost?

“Where did you lose it?” Liu Ruyan hurriedly asked.

“How would I know? If I knew where I had lost the Divine Wisdom Pill, I would have found it by now,” sighed Jiang Xuehan.

“There must be a general area, right?” Liu Ruyan pressed.

“It should be Da’an City, but exactly where in Da’an City I lost it, I don’t know,” said Jiang Xuehan.

The Divine Wisdom Pill lost by Jiang Xuehan was indeed in Da’an City!

And Hei Yue was a native of Da’an City; the place where she accidentally found the Divine Wisdom Pill was also in Da’an City!

“When did you lose it? Three years ago?” Liu Ruyan pursued further.

“Yes, three years ago,” Jiang Xuehan answered.

Liu Ruyan was now completely certain.

Because the timing and location both matched perfectly.

Sensing something, Jiang Xuehan anxiously inquired, “Do you know something? Have you seen the Divine Wisdom Pill I lost?”

“I haven’t seen it,” Liu Ruyan immediately shook her head.

“That’s not true, you must have seen it, you must know something, otherwise you wouldn’t be asking me so many questions!”

Jiang Xuehan stated excitedly, struggling forcefully to free herself from the ropes binding her.

But she was already injured and had expended a great deal of True Qi in the intense battle just now, so she was completely unable to break free.

Of course, Liu Ruyan wouldn’t foolishly reveal the fact that Hei Yue had consumed the Divine Wisdom Pill to Jiang Xuehan. After all, it had already been ingested and couldn’t possibly be returned.

Moreover, an item like the Divine Wisdom Pill was one of those rare treasures that couldn’t be bought even with money. If she really had to compensate for it, it wouldn’t be a small sum.

Therefore, Liu Ruyan very firmly stated: “No, I really haven’t seen it, I can swear to that.”

“Then swear an oath,” Jiang Xuehan said.

“I swear I have absolutely never seen the Divine Wisdom Pill that you lost. If there is any falsehood in my words, let me suffer deviation and die without a resting place!” Liu Ruyan declared solemnly.

A deep disappointment showed on Jiang Xuehan’s face.

However, she failed to perceive the loophole in the oath that Liu Ruyan had made.

Liu Ruyan claimed she had never seen the Divine Wisdom Pill, not that she was unaware of it. Although the difference was only a few words, the meanings were worlds apart.

More than two hours went by.

Jiang WanYun came to take over the shift.

Liu Ruyan thus entrusted Jiang Xuehan to her and went back to her room to rest.

Jiang WanYun was much stricter than Liu Ruyan, not wasting words with Jiang Xuehan.

Jiang Xuehan didn’t say much to Jiang WanYun either, and the two women stared each other down.

Eventually, dawn began to break.

Only then did Jiang WanYun finally speak: “Later, we will take you to the Cultivator Administration Bureau’s sub-division base in Dachang City. At that time, someone will deal with you specifically.”

“How will you deal with me?” Jiang Xuehan asked.

“That depends on whether you’ve committed any heinous crimes. If not, and you’re willing to repent, the Cultivator Administration Bureau might treat you leniently.”

“But if you’ve used your Martial Arts abilities to harm or even kill innocent people, then I’m sorry, but the death penalty would be the best punishment for you.”

Jiang WanYun said, her face wearing a cold smile.

Jiang Xuehan shook her head: “Although I have injured others, I have never killed anyone, let alone an innocent person.”

“Whether you have or haven’t isn’t for you to decide. The Cultivator Administration Bureau will investigate you,” Jiang WanYun said.

“Whatever,” Jiang Xuehan replied.

Seeing Jiang Xuehan’s indifferent demeanor, Jiang WanYun’s brow furrowed slightly.

She had thought Jiang Xuehan would be trembling in fear and begging for mercy by now, but this woman’s defiance was an unexpected surprise.

Footsteps approached from outside.

“Who’s there?” Jiang WanYun asked.

“It’s me.”

The voice of Li Qianfan came in.

“Come in,” Jiang WanYun said.

Li Qianfan then pushed open the door, entered the room, and closed it behind him.

Seeing Li Qianfan arrive, Jiang Xuehan immediately felt uncomfortable.

She was naked, with not a stitch on her body, her clothes completely stripped away.

With Liu Ruyan and Jiang WanYun both being women, she didn’t mind, but now facing Li Qianfan, a man, she felt a sense of shame and anger overwhelming her.

“Don’t look at me!” Jiang Xuehan said through clenched teeth.

“What’s the problem with looking? We are all people of the Jianghu; don’t fuss over these trifles,” Li Qianfan said with a grin.

As he spoke, Li Qianfan’s eyes roamed freely over Jiang Xuehan’s body.

Though Jiang Xuehan’s body was bound with thick ropes, most of her pale white skin was exposed to the air. With her hands and feet tied, she couldn’t even cover herself if she wanted to.
