Dragon Tiger Sect and Heavenly Medicine Hall are not far apart. After walking past the Treasure Pavilion, one can enter a beautiful small grove after a short walk.
The Heavenly Medicine Hall is built on a clearing within the grove, surrounded by a brick wall. Upon entering the courtyard of the Heavenly Medicine Hall, the first thing one sees is patches of green vegetation, consisting of various medicinal herbs used to treat injured Sect Disciples. Behind these plants stands a large building covering about ten acres, which is the renowned Heavenly Medicine Hall of the Dragon Tiger Sect.
Over the years, the Heavenly Medicine Hall has treated countless Sect Disciples, making it a sacred and revered place in their eyes, where no one dares to show disrespect.
Ye Feng stood at the entrance of the Heavenly Medicine Hall, followed closely by Zhang Yihang and others. Except for Ye Feng, everyone else appeared extremely tense.
“Brother Ye, the person who killed Han Chong may have already escaped. It doesn't seem right for us to barge in like this!” After hesitating for a while, Zhang Yihang finally mustered the courage to whisper to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng remained silent. To Zhang Yihang and the others, he seemed to be blinded by anger. In reality, as a fellow cultivator at the Refining Qi Second Layer, Ye Feng had already devised a plan.
“The Heavenly Medicine Hall is different from other places. Friends accompanying injured individuals can only stay in their respective rooms and are not allowed to enter other patients' rooms freely. Only the accompanying doctors or physicians can move around freely in the Heavenly Medicine Hall. Accompanying doctors usually have tasks to fulfill and must take responsibility for their patients. If they leave their posts without permission, it could lead to mission failure, and in severe cases, they could be permanently banned from taking on accompanying doctor tasks in the Sect!”
“So I am certain that the person who killed Han Chong is one of the physicians in the Heavenly Medicine Hall. As for who it is, we need to investigate thoroughly!”
Ye Feng's calm analysis made Zhang Yihang and others look at him with newfound respect. Previously, when they saw Ye Feng act so ruthlessly, they thought he lacked restraint; now they realized that his thoughts were far more intricate than theirs.
“Brother Ye is absolutely right, but there are at least forty or fifty physicians in the Heavenly Medicine Hall. Where should we start our investigation?” Although Zhang Yihang found merit in Ye Feng's words, he was concerned about how long it would take to investigate so many physicians. Moreover, although these physicians had relatively low cultivation levels, mostly around Origin Martial Realm, they held high status within the Sect, respected by all Outer Sect Disciples. If they questioned each one individually, it would surely provoke the entire Dragon Tiger Sect!
Both Blue Shadow and Yuan Chaozhi, standing nearby, nodded repeatedly. In the Dragon Tiger Sect, anyone could be offended, but offending a physician would likely make one an enemy of all disciples and could lead to being denied treatment by the Heavenly Medicine Hall. Just thinking about such consequences sent chills down their spines.
“There’s always a solution to every problem,” Ye Feng said with a faint smile, seemingly confident about finding out who was behind it all. This made Zhang Yihang and others murmur among themselves.
“Then what plan does Brother Ye have? Please don’t keep us in suspense; we must find out who secretly killed Han Chong!” Although Zhang Yihang didn’t truly believe that Ye Feng had any real method, he felt he had no choice but to trust him at this point.
“The solution is simple; however, I need someone’s help!” With significant meaning, Ye Feng pointed at the short-statured Yuan Chaozhi, his expression serious as he said, “Yuan Chaozhi, regarding this incident with Han Chong, if we cannot find out who did it, the blame will surely fall on you. At that time, not only will you be unable to continue as an accompanying doctor, but you might even lose your cultivation and be expelled from the Sect!”
“N-no… that can’t be! But I really didn’t do anything! Brother Ye, Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Sister Blue, you must help me!” A shiver ran through Yuan Chaozhi. Although he had mentally prepared himself for this possibility, hearing it from Ye Feng made him tremble uncontrollably.
Seeing how miserable Yuan Chaozhi looked, even Blue Shadow felt sympathy for him. Although there was no doubt that this person was involved in some way with Han Chong’s death, ultimately he was also a victim.
“Brother Ye, please help him! If we don’t find out who really did it, then Han Chong will never rest in peace!” said Blue Shadow, her voice filled with sorrow.
“Yuan Chaozhi, there have been cases before where injured disciples lost their lives due to mistakes made by accompanying doctors. Although this time’s responsibility does not lie with you, when it comes down to accountability from above in the Sect, the Heavenly Medicine Hall will undoubtedly push you out as a scapegoat. If you want to remain in the Dragon Tiger Sect, you must follow my instructions!”
A glimmer of hope appeared in Yuan Chaozhi's eyes as if he had grasped onto a lifeline. He tightly clutched at Ye Feng's sleeve and suddenly knelt down with a thud on the ground, repeatedly bowing his head as he said: “As long as you can help me clear my name, I will do anything you ask of me!”
"Alright, come over here, and I will explain the specific plan to you in detail!" Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction, summoning Zhang Yihang and the others to his side, quietly sharing his comprehensive plan.
...
Although he was just a minor character, he was still related to Li Fengyun's death. As a physician of Heavenly Medicine Hall, Li Mingqiao ultimately made the hard decision to kill Han Chong, who was on the sickbed.
Recently, with the Outer Sect Grand Competition approaching, many Outer Sect Disciples of Dragon Tiger Sect were frantically taking Sect Missions, hunting beasts in Mount Luoshen, trying to achieve better rankings during the Outer Sect Grand Competition.
As a result, the number of injured Outer Sect Disciples in Mount Luoshen gradually increased, making the affairs of Heavenly Medicine Hall busier.
Li Mingqiao had been working at Heavenly Medicine Hall for an entire Tian Yi night. If he hadn't secretly killed Han Chong on the last night, he would have probably gone home to rest long ago.
After writing a prescription for the last injured Outer Sect Disciple, Li Mingqiao stretched lazily and was about to leave Heavenly Medicine Hall to get some well-deserved rest when a commotion erupted at the entrance.
"Quickly, step aside! Someone is injured! Hurry and get a physician! He is Elder Bai's Disciple; if treatment is delayed, you will be held accountable!"
Li Mingqiao curiously looked toward the entrance of Heavenly Medicine Hall and saw a small boy dressed as an assistant physician nervously directing something. Behind him, two people were supporting an Outer Sect Disciple dressed in gray robes, who was angrily pushing through the crowd gathered at the door.
"What’s all this noise about? Do you think this place is just any location?" Li Mingqiao recognized the faces of those supporting the gray-clad youth and was startled, instinctively walking over.
"It’s Doctor Li! It’s great that you’re here! This disciple is named Ye Feng. Although he is an Outer Sect Disciple, he is also Elder Bai Chengfeng's Disciple. He was attacked by beasts while hunting high-level monsters in Flame Gorge and is now severely injured. Please, Doctor Li, you must save him!"
The two supporting Ye Feng were none other than Zhang Yihang and Blue Shadow. Both were looking anxiously at Li Mingqiao, with Blue Shadow even crying out loud.
"Ye Feng?" Li Mingqiao was taken aback and quickly stepped forward to take a look. The injured Outer Sect Disciple had no color on his face and showed no signs of Elemental Wave at all, as if his cultivation had been completely wasted.
"How could he be so severely injured? The beasts in Flame Gorge shouldn't be that strong," Li Mingqiao furrowed his brows tightly and placed his fingers on Ye Feng's wrist.
"We're not sure either. Brother Ye returned to Dragon Tiger Sect looking like this. He didn't say a word before collapsing on the ground. We didn’t dare delay and brought him here immediately!" Zhang Yihang said with a worried expression.
"The Meridian seems intact, but there’s not a trace of Vital Energy residing within. How could this happen? Could it really be that his cultivation has been wasted?" Li Mingqiao was secretly shocked. He had searched for Vital Energy in Ye Feng's Meridian for quite some time but found nothing at all. It seemed that something mysterious was blocking his Dantian; he couldn't probe it at all.
"Could it be that someone sealed his cultivation?" On the surface, Li Mingqiao appeared heavy-hearted, but internally he felt ecstatic. This ordinary boy before him, who had no Elemental Wave whatsoever, looked exactly like the person Li Fengyun had described.
"The one who sealed this person's cultivation must be some expert from our Li Family. Hmph! Brat! If you dare to waste our Young Master Li's cultivation, you should have expected such an outcome!" Li Mingqiao thought to himself. Although he had just killed Han Chong and the storm from that incident hadn't completely subsided yet, he originally planned to avoid drawing attention. Little did he expect that his long-desired enemy would be delivered right to him like this.
"Doctor Li, how is Brother Ye? Why hasn't he woken up yet?" Zhang Yihang asked nervously. His anxiety was genuine because if Ye Feng couldn't be saved under Li Mingqiao's care as a physician of Heavenly Medicine Hall, it would lead to serious trouble.
Zhang Yihang was unaware that Li Mingqiao was the beast that killed Han Chong, so at this moment, he did not think much about it. He only hoped to be admitted to the hospital room as soon as possible to attract the attention of the real culprit.
"This is a bit troublesome. I see that his cultivation has been completely ruined. It's already a stroke of bad luck that he can still keep his life. How about this? You all take him to the hospital room first, and I will conduct a thorough examination!" Li Mingqiao said, suppressing the excitement in his heart and pretending to be serious.
"Doctor Li, I am a companion physician from Heavenly Medicine Hall. Let me assist you in treating Senior Brother Ye Feng!" Yuan Chaozhi said somewhat eagerly.
Li Mingqiao hesitated for a moment but nodded in agreement to Yuan Chaozhi's request: "Alright, after I finish the diagnosis and write the prescription, I'll leave the care of the injured to you!"
At this moment, Heavenly Medicine Hall was exceptionally busy, and companion physicians were in high demand. Since Yuan Chaozhi proactively offered to help, Li Mingqiao could not refuse in front of him; otherwise, it would raise suspicion. Moreover, if he wanted to secretly kill Ye Feng, he needed someone to take the blame.
The physician who previously treated Han Chong was not Li Mingqiao, so when Han Chong was killed by five people in the hospital room, Li Mingqiao did not pay attention to Yuan Chaozhi's appearance.
"The injuries are severe; you two should not follow along!" Li Mingqiao told Zhang Yihang and Blue Shadow. "You wait at the door and hand over one hundred Contribution Points first. When I finish writing the prescription, you can come in to visit!"
Li Mingqiao's words seemed casual and quite reasonable but immediately caught Zhang Yihang and Blue Shadow's attention.
"The Contribution Points for healing might not be enough. My junior sister and I plan to take advantage of this time to go outside and complete some tasks." The two exchanged glances and bowed respectfully to Li Mingqiao before hurriedly leaving.
