ess of the power of thunder!"As soon as the words left his mouth, Lei Ling flipped his wrist, and the Lei Ji Tianzhu appeared once more!In Lei Ling's opinion, the source of thunder in Lei Ji Tianzhu w...From the crowd outside the pharmacy, a rather scholarly-looking middle-aged man strode out.

As for this person, Ginger Cloud had never seen him before. However, among the crowd, someone immediately recognized him.

“Cun Qin! One of the Luo Family's guest ministers, a master at the ninth level of Fudi!”

"Now this is going to be interesting, with Luo Family Guest Scholar here to defend the ancient master. Hehe, I wonder how the young master of the Luo Family will respond!"

No one noticed that with the appearance of this clump of Qin, a gleam of unusual color flashed in Xia Zhongxing's eyes at this moment.

Luo Lingxiao was also slightly startled, and blurted out: "Senior Cong, how did you get here"

Long Qin smiled and said, “I’m friends with Xia Zhanggui. When I have nothing to do, I often come here to sit around.”

This sentence made Ginger Cloud's heart skip a beat. She looked at the other person with a hint of suspicion in her eyes, because this was definitely a lie!

Although I only stayed at the Duoyao Pavilion for over three months, I had never seen anyone come looking for Manager Xia. Nor would anyone be able to sit there in the Duoyao Pavilion.

"Young Master, to be honest, I arrived yesterday evening. I intended to leave early, but the heavy rain made it impossible. Besides, I got into a lively conversation with Xia, the shopkeeper, so I decided to stay and chat with him under candlelight until the rain subsided this morning before leaving!"

So, I can prove that from yesterday when I came until this morning when I left, no one has left this medicine cabinet.

Here, Cong Qin pointed at Jiang Yun and said: "Including him, they definitely haven't left!"

At this point, Ginger Cloud was completely confused. This Cong Qin was clearly lying through his teeth.

When he returned home at night, he took a special look at Xia Zhongxing's room. It was pitch black inside. How could anyone be talking late into the night by candlelight

But the other party was clearly speaking for himself, and it's not hard to imagine that as a guest scholar of the Luo family, his self-defense would be more effective than anything anyone else could say.

As expected, after hearing Chong Qin's words, Luo Lingxiao hesitated for a moment on his face. Although he was the young master, he wouldn't be foolish enough to offend the family guest minister. After all, the guest ministers were all hired at a high price.

It's just not right to let him leave like this, he still feels a bit unwilling. After pondering for a moment, he looked at Cong Qin and said, "How come I've never heard before that Senior Cong and Shopkeeper Xia are friends Also, why did Senior Cong appear at this time"

Luo Lingxiao's tone was laced with both question and dissatisfaction. If he had known this beforehand, if Chong Qin had arrived when he first came, he wouldn't have been in such a sorry state just now.

Cong Qin couldn't possibly not understand Luo Lingxiao's meaning, a wry smile appeared on his face: "As everyone knows, Xia Zhuangshi has always been low-key and dislikes socializing. Therefore, he specifically instructed me not to publicize it to the outside world. So don't even mention the young master, not even the head of the family knows."

After I left here this morning, I didn't return to the Luo Family. Instead, I went for a walk on Kongming Mountain and just returned to the Luo Family when I heard that the young master had brought people to Duoyao Pavilion. That's why I rushed over!

"However, Cong certainly arrived late, please forgive me, Young Master!"

Now, Luo Lingxiao was completely speechless.

If he doesn't even believe in what Chong Qin says, then not only will he offend Chong Qin, but it will also chill the hearts of other Luo family guests.

At the same time, he also knew that if he still insisted on taking Jiang Yun away today, it would definitely provoke public outrage. However, looking at the many cultivators around him, leaving like this would really make him lose face.

For a moment, Luo Lingxiao was caught between a rock and a hard place, unable to advance or retreat.

At this point, Cong Qin turned to Xia Zhongxing and bowed. "Brother Xia, this is just a misunderstanding. Why don't we just let it go for the sake of my younger brother"

Xia Zhongxing smiled slightly and said, "Xia was indeed a bit reckless. Today's matter, I hope Young Master Luo will not take it to heart. If you have time in the future, Xia will definitely bring some old ginger and personally visit the Luo family to apologize to the young master!"

Xia Zhongxing's words finally gave Luo Lingxiao a step down.

"Humph!" Luo Lingxiao snorted, letting out a cold breath from his nostrils. He gave a cold glance at the crowd surrounding him and said, "Very well, since Senior Cong has spoken, then let this matter be dropped today. We're leaving!"

After finishing, Luo Lingxiao took the ten or so cultivators and flew away from Duo Yao Ge.

With Luo Lingxiao's departure, nearly two thousand cultivators suddenly erupted in cheers. Jiang Yun also politely bowed deeply to all the cultivators: "Thank you all!"

"No, no, master. It's our duty!"

"That's right, if it weren't for the ancient master, we wouldn't be able to heal our injuries and poison. The ancient master has saved our lives, and it is our blessing to be able to do something for him!"

Amongst polite farewells, the cultivators who had come to help Jiang Yun gradually dispersed.

As everyone departed, Jiang Yun remained in a gesture of thanks, truly grateful to these people he couldn't even remember the names of.

And Xia Zhongxing remained silent, walking towards the backyard with his hands clasped behind him without even acknowledging Cong Qin.

Cong Qin, however, didn't mind at all. He smiled kindly at Jiang Yun and nodded, then followed Xia Zhongxing towards the backyard.

Ginger Cloud let the two leave without asking, but his gaze fell on the three burly men in red robes, especially the two who had appeared later. "Those cultivators, were they called by the two of you"

Jiang Yun knew very well that Nanzhang City was vast, and Luo Lingxiao coming to the Duoyao Pavilion for him in such a short time, almost a thousand cultivators could gather here so quickly. This couldn't have been spontaneous; someone had notified them beforehand, perhaps even actively summoned them.

Two burly men nodded with smiles and said, “Indeed, this morning, Summer the shopkeeper instructed us to gather these cultivators!”

Hearing his guess confirmed, Jiang Yun couldn't help but glance back at the backyard once more. In his heart, he was already certain that Xia Zhongxing knew he had killed Du Guirong and anticipated that the Luo family would send someone to find him, so he had made these preparations in advance.

Although Ginger Cloud didn't know Xia Zhongxing's true intentions, just as he had thought before, as long as Xia Zhongxing didn't have ill will towards him, it was enough.

A storm was just like that, dissipated into thin air.

Although Gingercloud's heart was still filled with vigilance, he also knew that, at least in the short term, the Luo family and Hundred Herbs Valley should not bother him again.

Thus, he could safely spend the last three months in this pharmacy, until the patriarch of the Luo family's birthday arrived.

Jiang Yun continued to treat and detoxify the cultivators, while in the backyard of Duoyao Pavilion, Xia Zhongxing looked at Cong Qin with interest: "Don't think that because you suddenly came here, I will do you a favor!"

Although Cong Qin's appearance did help Jiang Yun a great deal, Xia Zhongxing was not grateful. However, Cong Qin simply shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't need your gratitude."

"May I ask the reason"

This sentence, just after Cong Qin had asked Xia Zhongxing last night, was now being asked back to him by Xia Zhongxing.

Cong Qin smiled faintly: "You saved Gu Jiang for your son, so when I help him, there is naturally my own selfishness. However, I'm not convenient to say it now."

Xia Zhongxing nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I won't keep you. Goodbye!"

"Farewell!"

Cong Qin was also decisive. He bowed to Xia Zhongxing and turned to leave.

As Cong Qin's figure was about to disappear, a voice from behind came again: "If you have time in the future, why not come visit me!"

A graceful smile appeared on Cong Qin's elegant face. Although he didn't turn around, he nodded lightly.

And as Cong Qin left, Xia Zhongxing looked up at the sky and said, "Today, I can shield you, but when the Luo family ancestor's birthday arrives, I won't be able to help you anymore!"
