CHAPTER 110 (2): STRUGGLING TO FIND
“Overboard? Not at all, her body wasn’t even buried in the Imperial Mausoleum. I don’t know where it went. Could they have fed it to the wolves?”
The other peddlers imdiately shook their heads and sighed, but so continued to say that she deserved it.
Su Xi-er listened quietly, as if this had nothing to do with her.
She was calm- calm to the point that it felt as if there was a frightening air of coldness around her. A few of the peddlers involved in the heated discussion stopped talking and looked at Su Xi-er.
This woman, what happened to her? One look at her had made them panicking.
After a while, the peddlers couldn’t endure it anymore. This woman has an aura as horrifying as a dead person. Even though they wanted to continue their conversation, their tongues suddenly felt as if they were glued to their mouths.
Su Xi-er noticed that the peddlers were acting strange and imdiately glanced around. In the street corner in front of her, she saw a blue figure.
The man in blue? Did he attack the peddlers? Why did he do it? Just because they were talking about Ning Rulan?
Her questions swirling about in her head, Su Xi-er followed him to the other street. It’s him indeed, the man with the blue hat and blue veil.
She watched as he entered a drug store, deciding to wait out at the front for him to co out. However, after waiting for a long ti, she never saw him exit.
As a result, Su Xi-er decided to enter the drug store, only to find a physician packing so dicine. Where’s the man in blue?
When the physician saw that she was looking for soone, he called out to her, “Miss, there’s no one else here. Are you looking for so dicine?”
Su Xi-er shook her head. “There was a man in blue who ca in a while back. Where did he go?”
“Miss, who is he to you? Your husband?”
Su Xi-er shook her head. “No, we’re not related, but he owes money. Although it’s not a lot, it can’t be unpaid.”
The physician understood. “He left from the back door and took a lot of dicine along. He must have borrowed money from you to buy those dicine to treat injuries inflicted from a sword.”
Su Xi-er nodded and asked, “I am in a hurry to collect the debt, can I leave from the back door of the drug store?”
The physician nodded, pointing forward with his finger. “Open the curtain and walk to the back. There will be a small door once you pass through the courtyard; just go out through there.”
Following the physician’s directions, Su Xi-er imdiately walked towards the backdoor.
Exiting the building, she found the street she erged onto to be exceptionally quiet, quite unlike the bustling main road she had been on. Even the sound of her footsteps could be clearly heard as she stepped on the pebbles on the road.
Su Xi-er walked around, finding no sign of the person she was looking for until she finally noticed so dicine scraps on the ground that must have fallen from the bundle that the man carried.
Following the fragnts of dicine, she was led to the entrance of an alley. Just as she was about to walk in, the voice of a man suddenly ca from behind her.
“Miss, what are you planning to do by trying so hard to find ? This humble one has never seen a woman chasing after an unknown man.”
Su Xi-er turned around, finding the man in blue standing before her. She didn’t intend to hide anything and directly said, “Why would a grown-up man wear a veil? Only won would wear it.”
The man in blue laughed. “Miss, what does it have to do with you as to whether this humble one wears a veil or not?”
“Were you the one who did sothing to stop those peddlers from talking just now?” Su Xi-er looked at him carefully and only saw his eyes.
“You tried to hard to find , only to ask this?” The voice of the man in blue was pure with a trace of depth.
Su Xi-er suddenly felt that the voice was familiar. However, she couldn’t recall exactly where she had heard it before as there wasn’t such a special man in her mory.
“Why did you do it to the peddlers? It was just...” Su Xi-er stopped and looked at him carefully, but his expression was unchanged.
“Miss, this humble one travels around the four nations to treat and save people. Why would I do sothing to harm to the peddlers? Why don’t you tell a reason that I would do that?”
