Chapter 528 A Bewilderment of the Locals

Nangong Jing confidently told himself that all of this was just a coincidence.

She happened to meet Xu Han and Ye Hongjian coincidentally on her way to the house of her father's old friend, Mr. Du, after the swordsman's meeting.

Of course, she could take a detour. En, or rather, bypassing the two of them was the shortest way to Mr. Du's mansion. She happened to be walking this detour today, and coincidentally, Xu Han and Ye Hongjian were also walking along this path.

Of course, she could speed up her footsteps, but it was a coincidence that she deliberately slowed down her footsteps today and followed behind the two of them.

As a result, it was very coincidental that she witnessed the battle between the strange old man in green and Xu Han.

Although she was dissatisfied with Xu Han, no matter what, Xu Han was still a member of the Sword Handling Pavilion. After confirming that she was far from being the opponent of the green-robed old man, Nangong Jing went to Mr. Du's house and invited this Confucian and Taoist master to take action.

This is a string of somewhat far-fetched but ultimately justifiable logic.

However, what was inexplicable was the panicked expression on her face when she rushed into the Du Mansion, as well as her absent-minded appearance before confirming that Xu Han had escaped from danger.

Thinking of this, Nangong Jing's heart was in a mess.

She did not understand where such emotions came from or why they arose.

Therefore, when she appeared in front of Xu Han and Ye Hongjian, Nangong Jing lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at them.

…

However, although the rescued Xu Han was curious as to why Nangong Jing had appeared here, he could roughly guess from what Du Pingce had said before that the reason why this Confucian and Taoist master had appeared here was probably due to this Miss Nangong.

He smiled and cupped his hands towards Nangong Jing. "Xu Han thanked Lord Nangong for saving his life."

Hearing this, Nangong Jing's body trembled slightly. After a while, he said, "I just happened to see it."

Of course, she wanted her words to sound as convincing as possible. However, her intermittent tone clearly did not make her wish come true. For this reason, a red cloud appeared on Nangong Jing's cheeks. Although it was still shallow, it could be considered the first time since the founding of heaven and earth.

If her younger brother, Nangong Zhuo, were here, he would inevitably give Xu Han another thumbs-up when he saw this situation.

However, Xu Han was still wondering why the deceased Headmaster had appeared here, and why he insisted on killing him. Although Xu Han had some faint speculations about these reasons, such speculations could not calm his heart down. Instead, his mood became even heavier. It was precisely because of this that Xu Han did not notice the peculiarity on Nangong Jing's face. Although Ye Hongjian noticed it, she only looked deeply at Nangong Jing's peculiarity and did not break it.

At that time, the atmosphere on the field was somewhat awkward. Du Pingce, who was over 70 years old, looked at the three juniors. His eyes narrowed and he probably read something. At that time, he simply said, "I heard from Jing'er that a friend of Young Master Xu's is suffering from a terrible illness."

Hearing this, Xu Han immediately regained his senses. He repeatedly nodded at Mr. Du and said, "There really is something going on. I don't know."

"I have already agreed to this matter. Since we meet today, it would not be like a clash of suns if we chose a day. Young Master, please lead the way." The old scholar chuckled.

Xu Han was overjoyed, so he put down his thoughts for the time being and said repeatedly, "This is very good. Thank you, sir."

…

The rainstorm in summer night came and went quickly. When Xu Han brought Du Pingce back to the manor gate, the downpour of rainstorm had long since ceased. Nangong Jing said that he was going to deal with some matters after the war, so he did not leave with Xu Han and the others.

Xu Han reckoned that the people in the Imperial City and the Great Xia Imperial Court would have to give an explanation for the commotion caused by this battle. They did not notice Nangong Jing's unusual behavior. Instead, they thanked him again before leaving.

At this moment, everyone gathered outside the courtyard where Xu Han was. Most likely, they all knew the importance of Liu Sheng to Xu Han, so they showed great concern for this matter.

However, they had different medical skills. Even though Chu Chouli, Fang Ziyu, and the others looked at the window for a long time with their toes raised, they could not see anything. Although Xu Han had learned some medical skills, it was only superficial. He could tell that Du Pingce, who was sitting beside Liu Sheng, was probing Liu Sheng internally, but he was unable to know the specific situation. However, from Du Pingce's occasional frown, he could vaguely feel that something was wrong.

Liu Sheng's situation was obviously not optimistic. Du Pingce sat in front of Liu Sheng's bed for an hour.

From time to time, he checked his pulse and tongue, This process was tedious and boring. In addition, Xu Han, who was already worried about the darkness of the night, had been paying close attention to this matter. However, Fang Ziyu, Chu Chouli, and the others sat down at the corner of the wall with their heads hanging down after the initial fresh energy had passed. They looked rather drowsy.

Finally, two hours later, Du Pingce stood up. Seeing this, everyone thought that things had come to an end.

"Sir, He Ru?" Xu Han was naturally the one who bore the brunt. He quickly arrived in front of Du Pingce and asked anxiously.

The old scholar raised his head and looked at him. His expression sank slightly, and then he said, "Young Master, take one step and speak."

Hearing this, Xu Han added on the gloomy expression on Du Pingce's face. He immediately understood something. His heart sank, but he still nodded. He followed Du Pingce out. Although the people behind him were also concerned about this matter, seeing Du Pingce say this, it was naturally difficult to keep up. He could only stand there and watch the two of them leave with a look of doubt.

…

"I heard from Jing'er that Young Master Xu and this friend are close friends. I think their relationship is quite shallow." Along the way, Du Pingce remained silent. Although Xu Han was anxious to know Liu Sheng's situation, Du Pingce did not say anything. He did not want to ask him too impatiently.

It wasn't until the two of them reached the entrance of the mansion that Mr. Du spoke.

"Yes." Xu Han naturally did not conceal this matter. He replied in a calm voice, "Ah Sheng saved my life. Speaking of which, it is most likely because of me that he landed in such a field today."

"Oh." Hearing this, Du Pingce nodded and sighed, "That Ah Sheng sacrificed his life for you. You also found a good recipe to save him. Both of them are affectionate and righteous. I have seen many things in the world that are worried about me cheating. Young Master Xu and that Brother Ah Sheng have opened my eyes."

Xu Han frowned. Du Pingcegu was talking about him. This action made Xu Han even more worried. At that time, he pondered for a moment and then said, "I can tell you what Mr. Du has obtained today. Whether it's good or bad, I have already made preparations in my heart. I won't blame Mr. Du for this. Please make it clear to me."

Hearing this, Du Pingce smiled again. He sighed and said, "This old man did not say that he did not intend to show off, but he was really ashamed to say it."

"Sir, what do you mean?" Xu Han didn't want Du Pingce to say such words, so he couldn't help but ask.

Du Pingce pondered for a moment. He seemed to be secretly sorting out his thoughts. After a while, Just now, he said, "Normally, the Great Xia Dynasty Hall is also good, Whether it was the various parties in Jianghu, You have a lot of respect for me, This old man once thought that his attainments in the field of medicine were not ordinary, But today, I checked the heartmeridians of Brother Ah Sheng, observed his physical signs, and also used my internal strength to check every part of his body. However, I was unable to find anything unusual. Instead, I felt that Brother Ah Sheng was much better than an ordinary person except for being unconscious. However, this old man was unable to find out why he was unconscious. "Speaking of which, it is against Young Master's orders."

After saying this, the Confucianism and Taoism Master actually bowed apologetically towards Xu Han.

This was not something Xu Han could afford to bow down to. It was a great thing that Du Pingce was willing to help Xu Han treat Liu Sheng. Although the result was not satisfactory, Xu Han did not have any reason to blame Du Pingce.

He hurriedly reached out his hand to support the old man who was about to bow down, and said, "Sir, what are you doing? I, Mr. Xie, am too late for this matter. How can I blame Mr. Xie?"

The two of them prevaricated for a while before Du Pingce gave up.

"Actually, although Brother Ah Sheng's condition is strange, I thought that someone might have a good cure for it," the Confucian and Taoist masters thought for a moment and said.

"Who?" Hearing this, Xu Han, who had already lost hope, immediately changed his expression and spoke in a slightly louder tone.

"In the world, there may be a lot of controversy about whether one's cultivation is strong or weak, but in terms of the level of medical skills, I think there is no one in the world that can stand out." Du Pingce said solemnly at that time.

Hearing this, Xu Han was confused and couldn't help but ask again, "Sir, can you tell me who this person is?"

At that time, Du Pingce blinked his eyes and smiled, "Young Master Xu should know better than I do. Didn't you see him just now?"

Xu Han was stunned. However, he quickly came to his senses. The medical skills of the Headmaster of the Heavenly Policy Manor were indeed incomparably exquisite. A man who claim to be able to live, If he had a way to save Liu Sheng, Xu Han did not doubt this point, but the other party's resurrection was already strange, and his attitude towards Fa Na was even more strange. Under such a premise, whether Xu Han could find something convenient was unknown, and if he really encountered it, he would be fortunate to not fight again, as if he could convince the other party to save him.

Xu Han, who was thinking about this place, immediately frowned deeply and fell silent.

After a while, Xu Han bitterly smiled and said, "Sir, what you said is correct. It's just me and the Headmaster…"

The expression on Xu Han's face became even more bitter when he said this, but he didn't know how to describe the intricate relationship between him and the Headmaster.

In conclusion, he said, "In short, the Headmaster is probably only interested in killing me. How can he help me?"

But who would have thought that Du Pingce, who had always been calm and dignified, would suddenly burst into laughter when he heard Xu Han's words.

Xu Han couldn't help but ask, "Sir, why are you laughing?"

"Laugh, those in charge are confused."

"Sir, what do you mean?"

"Young Master, is this the Heng Imperial City?"
