Chapter 3

"What exactly happened to A Yuan?" Li Lianhua asked looking at Luo Fei annoyed. Di Feisheng was assigned to look after Dongfang Qing. "It's better if you hear it directly from Master." Luo Fei said refusing to explain.

"If he talks, I don't need to ask you." Li Lianhua said irritably. "I can only tell you one thing. My master has been infected with Huagen Poison for 11 years. He only has 6 months. Bicha Poison can help him survive another 6 months." Luo Fei said before leaving.

Li Lianhua fell silent. "What is it?" Fang Duobing asked worriedly. "Huagen Poison is a new poison created by the Zhang family before they were massacred." Li Lianhua explained. "Then he was poisoned by his own family." Fang Duobing said in surprise.

"This is not so easy to explain. I think there might be something else behind it. I saw the case of his father's death, it has to be reopened." Li Lianhua said. "Do you still remember that case?" Fang Duobing asked.

"A little. The murderer was caught but I think there is still someone who escaped. The person who made this plan is also the person he was looking for." Li Lianhua said. "Do you need help?" Di Feisheng asked coming over.

"Lao Di, shouldn't you be with him?" Fang Duobing asked. "He's awake and talking to Luo Fei. I'll help you guys look for information and I need to go back to Jinyuan Alliance. There's any news, I'll have Wuyan tell you guys." Di Feisheng said.

Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing nodded. "Do we need to see him?" Fang Duobing asked. "We're going to talk about cases." Li Lianhua said calmly. The two sat in the garden and discussed.

"His father was killed with a poison needle but Baichuan Court captured Dongfang Qing who had just returned from his mission for Baichuan Court. This is very strange. Why suspect him who had just returned?" Fang Duobing asked disapprovingly.

"I also felt strange so I looked into this and then I caught the disciple who killed Zhang Ling, A Yuan's father. When I took him out, he didn't look like a human. His whole body was covered in wounds. After he woke up, we never saw him again. A month later, I received news that he was at his family's house. When I arrived, everyone was dead and before leaving he burned the whole house." Li Lianhua explained.

"From now on, the Zhang Family will no longer exist in Jianghu." Added Dongfang Qing who came. "Why have you come?" Li Lianhua asked in surprise. "You told him about my past. Why can't I come?" Dongfang Qing asked coming over.

Li Lianhua sighed. Fang Duobing looked awkward. "I don't eat people. There's no need to be afraid. Why are you bringing up the past? What do you want Li Lianhua?" Dongfang Qing asked flatly.

"I wanted to find out the truth at that time." Li Lianhua replied. "Why do you want to know? That's our family affair. Let the past be the past. You have a new life so live it well." Dongfang Qing said calmly.

"Why can't you let it go yourself? You don't need to pretend you don't understand. You are a genius in the world of medicine, even greater than Guan Hemeng. When you were 7 years old, you were able to make an antidote for a poison you just discovered and the antidote was right. Your poison, you can cure it but you don't want to cure it." Li Lianhua said angrily.

Fang Duobing was shocked. "You also can't letting go of your past. You'd rather be Li Lianhua than go back to being Li Xiangyi. What's the difference between you and me?" Dongfang Qing asked.

Li Lianhua fell silent. Dongfang Qing smiled faintly. "But I like you being Li Lianhua. Because Li Lianhua has nothing to do with Baichuan Court and Sigu Sect." Dongfang Qing said looking at the sky.

"I'm curious, why do you hate Baichuan Court and Sigu Sect?" Fang Duobing asked. "Don't you guys already know what Shan Gudao did? Why are you still asking?" Dongfang Qing asked.

"You already knew? Why didn't you report it?" Fang Duobing asked in surprise. "You want to say, I said then Li Xiangyi wouldn't have been poisoned and almost died. Sigu Sect wouldn't have disbanded and there wouldn't be more victims." Dongfang Qing said.

"If I had told Li Xiangyi, he would have died sooner. It was the same with my father, when I found out about this. The first thing I did was tell my father. Then my father died. Instead of telling people, I decided to destroy their plans." Dongfang Qing explained.

"Because you know, you tell me then I won't believe it either." Li Lianhua added. "You know that's a good thing. But after my mission, I discovered an interesting fact. Shan Gudao was not a descendant of the Nanyin Royal family but Li Xiangyi was a descendant of the Nanyin Royal family. Before I could tell my father. My father died and Fobi Baishi captured me." Dongfang Qing said.

"Then when did you get Huagen Poison?" Fang Duobing asked curiously. "You don't look like your father at all. Maybe that's a good thing." Dongfang Qing said. Fang Duobing fell silent. "Luo Fei was right about you. I misjudged you." Dongfang Qing said smiling.

"Shan Gudao and the Zhang Family worked together. After being captured, the traitor forced me to drink Huagen Poison. Then I was poisoned and that was it." Dongfang Qing replied casually.

"I heard that one month, you were in the interrogation room. Why are you still alive?" Fang Duobing asked confused. Dongfang Qing smiled seductively. "What do you think?" Dongfang Qing asked.

"You don't need to tease him. Before he goes on duty, he must drink an antidote that can last up to a month." Li Lianhua explained. "But Huagen Poison is very poisonous so it's quite torturous. Li Mengzhu used Yang Zhou Man to help me on the third day of detention because the antidote effect disappeared." Dongfang Qing explained.

"What did you do for a month? Also Huagen Poison is so torturous, why don't you treat it?" Fang Duobing asked. Li Lianhua smiled. Dongfang Qing gave Fang Duobing a new look before looking at Li Lianhua.

"To keep the memories." Dongfang Qing answered briefly. "I'm curious about one thing. How did you help Li Lianhua?" Fang Duobing asked. Dongfang Qing smiled. "Finally you asked about Li Lianhua. Same as Guan Hemeng's method but I changed it a bit. Li Lianhua was at his best with 30% inner strength and Bicha Poison so I transferred 70% of my inner strength and replaced it with Bicha Poison." Dongfang Qing explained.

"You were also poisoned and Li Lianhua was also poisoned. Why do you still have 100% inner strength?" Fang Duobing asked. "I saw their faces. I knew they came to poison me and I locked away my inner strength before being poisoned. Li Lianhua's case is not the same. He doesn't know, he was poisoned." Dongfang Qing explained.

"You better not continue this search." Dongfang Qing added. "Go rest." Dongfang Qing said before leaving. Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing stared at each other.

The next day came quickly. Dongfang Qing's gate was shattered. "Catch Dongfang Qing!" County judge's order.
