"Hahaha..." Old Wang Ba laughed heartily and said, "Of course, of course. If you help save this person, I'll never ntion this again, and I certainly won't use it to blackmail you anymore. You can rest assured. If I wanted to threaten you, there are plenty of ways, no need to use just this one thing."
Ye Qing widened his eyes and said, "You plan to blackmail again in the future?"
"Just kidding, just kidding, don't get excited, don't get excited." Old Wang Ba quickly laughed and said, "Alright, no more nonsense, let's talk about the second thing, a very crucial matter."
"Go ahead." Ye Qing replied angrily. Every ti he talked with Old Wang Ba on the phone, it always made him want to punch soone.
Old Wang Ba said, "The second thing is quite simple. After you save that person, go to the Shen Family Manor imdiately and ask Shen Tianjun to step out. Tell him that the Mountain Defense Array at dicine King Mountain is about to open, and the herbs he needs can finally be picked."
"Oh?" Ye Qing was taken aback and asked curiously, "What dicine King Mountain? What herbs does Uncle Shen want? He's already secluded himself in Shen Family Manor and won't leave. Why should I tell him this?"
"Rest assured, as long as he has a breath left, he'll definitely co out," Old Wang Ba said. "He left twenty years ago and traveled the world during those twenty years, just to find dicine that could cure Shen Lingwei's eyes. However, many of these dicines are unique to dicine King Mountain, and he couldn't collect them. Now that the mountain is finally opening, he definitely won't miss the opportunity!"
Ye Qing suddenly understood. He had previously thought that Shen Tianjun left Shen Family Manor due to a dispute with Old Madam Shen over Shen Lingwei's situation. Later, Ye Qing realized that Old Madam Shen was actually kind-hearted and cared for Shen Lingwei. She wasn't unreasonable like that, which puzzled him. Now it beca clear why Shen Tianjun had left the manor for twenty years. It turns out he was searching for dicine to cure Shen Lingwei's eyes.
But what exactly is dicine King Mountain? Why is it sealed with a Mountain Defense Array? And what kind of dicines are there that only dicine King Mountain has? Plus, where exactly is dicine King Mountain? How co Ye Qing had never heard of it before?
"Okay, I will definitely inform Uncle Shen about this matter," Ye Qing said. "Are you done with your two matters?"
"Yes, I'm done," Old Wang Ba replied.
Ye Qing took a deep breath and said, "Alright, now can you tell where Zi Yu is specifically?"
"No," Old Wang Ba replied confidently.
Ye Qing had anticipated that Old Wang Ba would try to renege and imdiately retorted, "Old Wang Ba, how co you never keep your word? You just said if I listened to your two matters, you'd tell where Zi Yu is. Don't go back on your word."
"That was what you said, I didn't agree," Old Wang Ba said. "Plus, I already told you Huangfu Ziyu's location before. That's my bottom line, don't make it difficult for ."
"What do you an you told ? You said the entire ng District, such a large area, how am I supposed to find her there?" Ye Qing said anxiously.
"Oh, young man, don't be impulsive. As the saying goes, if it's ant to be, you'll et even if you're thousands of miles apart. As long as you two have a connection, it doesn't matter if she's abroad; you'll et again regardless," Old Wang Ba laughed.
"Spare these platitudes," Ye Qing said. "You've dragged this out for so long. Why can't you just tell where Zi Yu is?"
"I'm not telling you because there's a reason. She is currently handling a very important matter and cannot be disturbed by anyone. Once she's done with it, she will co to find you without needing you to search for her," Old Wang Ba said. "Even if you find her now, all you'd do is cause her trouble. So listen to and don't rush to find her. When the ti is right, you'll et. Right now, focus on the tasks at hand. The two things I asked you to do are very important. Understood?"
"No way!" Ye Qing shook his head decisively and said, "If you don't tell Zi Yu's whereabouts, don't expect to do those two things. At least, I won't do what you want to do to save that person, no matter what."
Old Wang Ba said, "Oh dear, are you going to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit? If you don't do this, I'll spread the word about you having the True Gold Silk Armor. Let's see if you can live comfortably then."
Ye Qing said angrily, "Go ahead and spread it. The True Gold Silk Armor is already hidden by . It's not going to be easy for them to find it."
Old Wang Ba was speechless and said, "You... are you really going for a 'fight to the death' strategy?"
Ye Qing said, "Yes, I'm ready to go all out. You've tricked so many tis, and I haven't even held you accountable. If you don't give an answer about Zi Yu, then don't expect to help you with anything else."
"Fine, you have guts!" Old Wang Ba took a deep breath and suddenly said, "Since you're unwilling to save that person, I won't force you. But don't say I didn't warn you; that person is related to the Divine Doctor's Order you hold. Aren't you interested in knowing what the Divine Doctor's Order is used for?"
Ye Qing's expression changed slightly. The fact that he had the Divine Doctor's Order was sothing he never told anyone, yet Old Wang Ba managed to deduce it. It seed he truly couldn't underestimate this old fellow.
"You know what the Divine Doctor's Order is used for?" Ye Qing quickly asked.
"Of course, how many things in this world can be hidden from ?" Old Wang Ba said proudly.
"So, what exactly is the Divine Doctor's Order for?" Ye Qing asked eagerly.
"Do you want to know?" Old Wang Ba laughed.
"No shit!" Ye Qing said, "Just tell if having the Divine Doctor's Order with is good or bad, or if there's any danger."
Old Wang Ba laughed and said, "If you want to know, go save the person I ntioned. After saving them, you'll understand what the Divine Doctor's Order is for!"
"You..." Ye Qing was about to say sothing when Old Wang Ba decisively hung up the phone, not giving Ye Qing any more chance to speak.
"Hey hey hey!" Ye Qing almost coughed up blood in anger. Old Wang Ba, that old guy, just loved to pull this stunt, hanging up before finishing the conversation. Ye Qing quickly checked the number to call back, but it was already unreachable. It seed Old Wang Ba did this on purpose.
Beside him, Li Lianshan noticed Ye Qing's frustrated expression and said softly, "Ye Zi, what happened? Where's that old guy now?"
"He didn't say," Ye Qing shrugged helplessly and said, "That old guy, don't let catch him, or I'll give him a full set of the Qing Dynasty's ten tortures first!"
If others saw Ye Qing like this, they would be very surprised, as Ye Qing was not soone who typically lost his temper. However, Li Lianshan understood the situation well, as he also knew Old Wang Ba, who was truly the kind of person who could even infuriate the most honest individuals.
"Are you still going to handle the things he talked about?" Li Lianshan asked quietly. "If we need to go to Beijiang City, we have to prepare in advance. There's only one flight a day to Beijiang City, which leaves in the morning."
Ye Qing scratched his head. He really didn't want to go to Beijiang City because whatever Old Wang Ba wanted him to do, he had a vague feeling it was a trap. But after thinking it over, he decided to make the trip to Beijiang City. If nothing else, the matter of the Divine Doctor's Order was enough of a reason for Ye Qing to go. After all, he really wanted to know what this Divine Doctor's Order was all about!
The flight to Beijiang City was at 7:30 in the morning, and Ye Qing specifically brought two Divine Doctor's Orders, wanting to figure out what they were.
When he reached Beijiang City, it was already past 9 a.m. Ye Qing didn't waste ti and headed directly to Dongwan Wharf.
Dongwan Wharf was actually an already abandoned wharf in Beijiang City, due to its location and transportation issues. There were very few people around. Because of this, the wharf had beco a favorite spot for illegal immigrants, with a few boats daily dedicated to taking people away.
Before coming to Beijiang City, Ye Qing had already gathered enough information about Dongwan Wharf. The human smuggling operations there were mostly managed by soone known as the Water Snake, so he was the most knowledgeable about how many boats left daily and how many people smuggled out.
Ye Qing didn't know whom exactly Old Wang Ba wanted him to save, but presumably, it should be soone trying to smuggle out. Old Wang Ba certainly didn't an for him to save the locals there. As for whom among the illegal immigrants he should save, he would have to see who was in danger at night.
After carefully observing the terrain around the wharf, Ye Qing found a lodging in a nearby village to stay. He didn't step out the entire day, waiting for the night to co.
Old Wang Ba had told him to save soone at 11 p.m., which ant if sothing were really going to happen, it would be around that ti. So, at 9:30 p.m., Ye Qing left the inn and quietly made his way to the wharf via a small path.
The distance from the village to the wharf was not far, and Ye Qing arrived around 10 p.m. During the day, he had already found a great spot where he could hide and observe the entire wharf. So that night, he headed straight for the spot he had picked earlier.
However, as soon as he arrived, Ye Qing noticed sothing was amiss. Three people were already hiding there, observing the wharf with binoculars.
Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat. Could these three people be the ones planning to kill soone tonight? Was Old Wang Ba's intention for him to save soone from these individuals? If so, that would be simple — just deal with these three people.
