Chapter 167: 167: I Want to Examine the Body (Part 2)_1
When Tie Hailan arrived, she saw He Su sitting by the bed with a soft cushion behind her. A blanket covered her legs as she stared vacantly at the courtyard outside the window.
"He Su."
Tie Hailan called out to her. He Su snapped out of her reverie and turned to look at Tie Hailan with empty eyes.
Tie Hailan felt both disappointed and helpless, but she understood that He Su’s ailnt was of the heart, and no amount of dicine would help. Only ’Phoenix Blood’ could cure it.
"What on earth are you doing? If you really want Phoenix Blood, I can help. I, Tie Hailan, may not have many skills, but I am capable of this much."
He Su looked down and remained silent.
Tie Hailan kept her gaze fixed on He Su for a long while.
"Well then, wait for my news!"
He Su was startled, and when she looked up, Tie Hailan had already hurried out the door.
She opened her mouth, wanting to call Tie Hailan back, but for so reason, she ended up clenching her fists, closing her mouth, and remained silent.

Liang Shujun hadn’t returned to Sky Blue Building in the past few days. A man’s promise is his bond, and once he decided to wash his hands of that life, he didn’t consider going back.
Dong Huiying had lingered in the town for several days, until she had gathered all the herbs she needed. Then she and Liang Shujun, each carrying bags big and small, were heading ho. But as they left the town, they suddenly heard soone shouting the words ’Phoenix Blood’.
Shujun turned to see a young servant from Sky Blue Building running towards him, gasping for breath.
"Phoenix Blood, Brother Bao sent
to find you, he has important matters to discuss with you."
Liang Shujun hesitated for a mont, "Baobao, will you wait here for , okay?"
Dong Huiying nodded, and so Liang Shujun followed the young servant, leaving Dong Huiying alone to watch over the bags on the ground. But after waiting for half an hour, she still hadn’t seen Liang Shujun return.
She pressed the corners of her eyes, feeling a bit uneasy.
"They say the left eye twitches for wealth, and the right eye twitches for calamity. My right eyelid keeps twitching, and I don’t know what misfortune it’s predicting."
After hesitating for a while, she finally picked up her belongings and rushed towards Sky Blue Building.
Brother Liubao was stunned when he learned why Dong Huiying had co.
"Phoenix Blood? That’s not right. I didn’t send anyone for him?"
Dong Huiying was taken aback for a mont, then quickly regained her composure.
"May I ask if there is ink and paper available?"
"Yes, yes, of course."
Dong Huiying had a good mory and was proficient at drawing. She quickly sketched a portrait of a person.
And the person in the drawing was the young servant who had just called Liang Shujun away.
"Brother Liubao, could you please have a look for , is this young servant from your Sky Blue Building?"
Brother Liubao was impressed by Dong Huiying’s skill in drawing, but he also had no ti to reflect on it, knowing the gravity of the situation. After recognizing the person, he honestly replied, "Little Qing? But he redeed his servitude contract and left our Sky Blue Building just yesterday."
Dong Huiying pondered for a long while, then thanked Brother Liubao and took her leave.
Upon returning to Liang Shujun’s rented place in the town, unsurprisingly, no one was there.
Dong Huiying left the bags ant for Kaoshan Village at the ancestral ho, then hurried out with Silver to look for people.
Carrying the portrait she had drawn at Sky Blue Building, she inquired along the way and actually managed to uncover so leads.
"I’ve seen that person. He was leading a tall, thin man in that direction. After they went in, they never ca back out."
Dong Huiying turned to look at the alley behind her, thanked the informant quickly, and then imdiately dashed into the alley.
This alley was not a dead end; it was crisscrossed with paths leading in all directions. She wandered around for a long ti when suddenly soone opened a door.
"Eh, Miss Dong? What are you doing here?"
