Chapter 1148: Chapter 96: Conflict (Part 2)
The hall was utterly silent.
At the end of the line of sight, a young maiden was curled up, trembling, as she held her father’s corpse.
Kui Ning gritted her teeth, staring at Nalan Qiutong who appeared before her. She understood many things in her heart.
"Where is the doctor who just treated her...?"
Nalan Qiutong spoke expressionlessly.
An elderly man, frail and with a head full of white hair, was brought forward by the Hook and Clamp Master.
The old man’s white robe was stained with traces of blood, his expression ashen, looking very weary and frail...
Nalan Qiutong took notice.
The gazes of those around him carried a mix of reverence, and so young people wanted to stand up, but were controlled by the Hook and Clamp Master, unable to resist at all.
"Did you open this clinic?"
Nalan Qiutong smiled slightly, speaking warmly.
"Yes."
The old man raised his head, looking at the young woman in front of him with a complex expression, his eyes filled with compassion and sympathy.
"Old man."
Nalan Qiutong smiled faintly, looking towards Kui Ning in the distance, and said, "Do you know, these two are Buddhist vermin?"
"..."
The old man was silent for a mont, then lightly said, "I only know this little girl’s father is about to die."
"Is that so?"
Nalan Qiutong said faintly, "Then why did they seek you out?"
"Why did they seek
out?"
The old man raised an eyebrow, as if he heard a joke.
He said hauntingly, "This is a place to save lives... if they don’t co to , who should they find?"
"My lord."
Geng Ba suddenly stepped forward at this mont, lowering his voice and said, "I just asked around, this ’Cloud Peace Hall’ is a well-known clinic in East City, established here sixty years ago. This old man experienced the Battle of Poison, having treated many important figures... seems to have an extraordinary background."
"Heh."
Nalan Qiutong just let out a cold laugh.
How could she not see?
Unfortunately, no matter what background this old man has... now in Xuanbei Pass, Buddhist traitors are strictly investigated. After this incident, there’s no way the old fellow can escape being implicated.
"Take him away for now."
Nalan Qiutong said coldly, "Within half an hour, I want all the records of this ’Cloud Peace Hall’. I want to investigate the relationship between this old fellow and the Buddhist sect, and also... I want to know which great figure is backing him, who exactly has the audacity to oppose the Hook and Clamp Master at Xuanbei Pass!"
All the people in Cloud Peace Hall were taken away by the Hook and Clamp Master, interrogated one by one.
As for Kui Ning, there’s no need to ntion.
The young maiden held on to her father’s remains tightly, as if she suffered an enormous blow, unwilling to let go no matter what.
Geng Ba asked for instructions and did not forcefully separate them, taking her to the dungeon along with him.
...
...
"Is it over?"
The Flower Master looked at Nalan Qiutong as she returned to the carriage, speaking softly.
Although she had not appeared, her Divine Thought enveloped the entire scene.
Everything that had just happened was in her sight.
"It’s over..."
Nalan Qiutong frowned and said, "But the unease in my heart has not dissipated, it has only grown stronger."
Logically speaking.
Following Kui Ning, seizing the Buddhist clues.
Everything should beco clear by then.
But after targeting Cloud Peace Hall and taking these suspicious people away... Nalan Qiutong’s Heart Lake grew even more unstable.
She closed her eyes again, silently replaying the scene at Cloud Peace Hall in her mind.
Ti passed quickly.
The trembling of the Communication Order in her arms interrupted Nalan Qiutong’s thoughts.
She opened her eyes.
From the Communication Order ca the urgent dossier Geng Ba extracted from the Iron Curtain, a detailed intelligence report on Cloud Peace Hall.
This clinic indeed existed sixty years ago, back when Xuanbei Pass was quite dilapidated, almost desolate... The owner of the clinic was nad "Yun An
