Hearing him say such shameless words, Rong Su opened her eyes wide and slammed the table.

Seeing her so angry, Shen Peiqing found it more interesting.

"You! Well, Shen Peiqing, you've really opened my eyes. I originally thought you were just a bad-tempered person, but I didn't expect you to be such a scoundrel."

Shen Peiqing didn't care about her scolding him, instead he teased her lightly: "Speaking of bad tempers, we are both the same. Since you value live charcoal so much, you might as well think of a solution quickly."

She really didn't want to argue with this guy about these things. The fact that he said these words meant that he would no longer ask for live charcoal. In that case, she didn't want to waste any more words with him.

After glaring at Shen Peiqing fiercely, Rong Su left the room angrily.

Seeing Rong Su slam the door and leave angrily, the faint smile on Shen Peiqing's face slowly disappeared.

Shi Tou looked at his master's suddenly changed expression and realized that his master was in a bad mood. He looked at Rong Su who had already left and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, wondering why his master did this.

Even if you want to distance yourself from Miss Rong Su, you don't have to do it this way.

While Shi Tou was sighing about Shen Peiqing, Shen Peiqing was thinking about something else.

Shen Fengyu has actually started to hook up with the martial arts sects. If he hadn't been paying attention to Shen Fengyu's every move, he might not have found any evidence of Bai Zhu and Xiaotian's secret passage to Chen Cang.

Although the people Shi Tou hired to keep an eye on Shen Fengyu would definitely be eliminated soon, he couldn't give up on keeping an eye on Shen Fengyu. He couldn't alert the enemy too quickly before he recovered from his injuries and regained his power.

These matters all need to be considered carefully, and the Hutou Gate can be used by him.

Shen Peiqing narrowed his black eyes, and a dark light flashed in his eyes, like the unfathomable gloom in the dark night, quietly accumulating.

-

Anger left the room and Rong Su walked on the path. Her anger had slowly subsided. If for no other reason than for the live charcoal and for the mission, she had to calm herself down and think of a solution as soon as possible.

Rong Su stopped walking, raised her head, and looked away. Her thoughts were like a mess, constantly churning. She wanted to come up with a convincing reason, but the more she churned, the more confused it became.

Until I heard a few words of communication, and I tilted my ear to listen.

It should be the members of the Hutoumen gang passing by and having a conversation.

"This is the first time I've seen sadness on Hall Master Zhou's face, which is colder than a real venomous snake."

"Me too. But why does Hall Master Zhou have such an expression?"

"I heard from others that the Sect Master is fast."

"What! What should we do? That's not right. Why is it different from what I heard? I just heard them say that the sect leader was cured by a female doctor, and even his complexion has improved a lot!"

"really?"

"How could I possibly lie to you? Did you just listen to some dirty idiot's fabricated words?"

"I heard it from the Viper Palace."

"Tsk, now that Deputy Sect Leader Bai is gone, those guys can't cause any big waves anymore..."

Rong Su did not listen carefully to the rest of the conversation as he was not interested in the intrigues within their sect.

But their words made her suddenly enlightened.

She helped Xu Biao get rid of the marrow-eating insect and prescribed medicine for him to relieve the pain. For this reason alone, it was worth it for her to ask him for live charcoal.

There was really nothing she could do. She didn't care about her face anyway. With this idea in mind, she quickly walked back along the way she had just come from the Tiger Hall.

As she walked, she realized that the paths here were all very similar, even more like a maze than a labyrinth. She suddenly felt dizzy, and soon she found that she seemed to be lost.

Looking at the gate she had seen a few seconds ago, and the similar rockery on the right, Rong Su panicked. She put her hands on her hips and started complaining, "Can't they just make it a good road? They have to make it like a maze!"

In a fit of rage, he raised his hand and punched a tree of medium height nearby.

The punch was not heavy, but the tree seemed very soft, like hitting cotton, soft and did not bounce the force back to her hand.

Surprised, he turned around and was about to take a closer look when he heard Zhou Di calling from behind.

"Doctor Rong. So you are here."

Hearing Zhou Di's voice, Rong Su's attention immediately shifted from the tree to Zhou Di. Her eyes lit up slightly, and she walked up to Zhou Di excitedly and said to him seriously, "Take me to see your sect leader. I have something to discuss with him."

Seeing Rong Su asking to talk to their sect leader, Zhou Di was slightly stunned, but soon looked at her calmly, with a neutral attitude, as if treating a stranger: "Doctor Rong, please come with me. It just so happens that the sect leader asked me to come to you."

After hearing this, it was Rong Su's turn to be stunned for a moment. She was a little surprised. She opened her mouth slightly and wanted to ask, but she thought that as long as she saw Xu Biao, she would know what it was. There was no need to ask Zhou Di, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.

As for her plan to use a favor to gain something in return, it was not something particularly glorious, and there was no need to tell everyone about it. It would be terrible if it ruined her reputation as a doctor.

She followed Zhou silently, and within a quarter of an hour, she had walked out of the yard that she had just spent a full half hour trying to get out of.

Looking at the surrounding courtyards and palaces that were different from the previous courtyard, Rong Su lowered his eyes and thought for a while. Could it be that the previous courtyard was the legendary Qimen Dunjia?

Before they had time to think about it, they had already arrived at the door of the Tiger Hall.

Zhou Di turned around and glanced at her, his attitude still cold. He extended his hand in a gesture of invitation: "Please let the doctor in."

Thinking that business was more important, Rong Su didn't say much and walked straight in.

As soon as she entered, she saw Xu Biao, whose complexion had improved a lot. He was no longer lying on the bed, but sitting at the desk opposite the bed.

Seeing this, she walked over and bowed to Xu Biao in a very polite voice.

"Master Xu. Is there something you want to see me about?"

She wanted to make her request all at once, but she decided to first listen to what Xu Biao wanted to see her about.

When Xu Biao heard her voice, he put down the booklet in his hand, raised his head and looked at her. The sickness in his eyes and brows was much less, and he seemed to be in better spirits.

He said to her with a friendly smile, "Doctor Rong, you helped me detoxify. I must repay you for this kindness. I called you here to ask if there is anything you need me to do. As long as it is something I can do and something that the Tiger Head Sect can do, I can help you."

It really was effortless. I didn't expect Xu Biao to bring up this matter first. Since that's the case, she doesn't have to bring it up again.

Rong Su didn't hesitate and asked Xu Biao for what she wanted directly: "Since Master Xu has spoken, I am not a shy person. I want live charcoal."

When Xu Biao heard that what Rong Su wanted was live charcoal, he was stunned. Rong Su helped him get rid of the poison, allowing him to live for another half a month, which was considered a life-saving favor. He didn't ask for gold, silver, treasures, or other more useful things, but actually wanted that useless stone.

Xu Biao frowned, unable to understand Rong Su's intention.

Seeing Xu Biao frowning, Rong Su felt that live charcoal was very important to him. She became a little anxious and said hastily, "Master Xu, live charcoal is very important to me. If you feel embarrassed, we can make a deal. Just sell the live charcoal to me. I won't take it for nothing."

Xu Biao didn't understand why Rong Su wanted stones in the first place. Now when he heard her say that she wanted to use silver to buy those useless stones, he was even more surprised and spoke up immediately.

"Hey, Doctor Rong. If you want those stones, just take them. Why would I ask for your money? There are plenty of them in our Limestone Mountain. Just have them moved."

After hearing this, Rong Su realized that she had misunderstood Xu Biao's meaning, and her anxious heart immediately settled down.

She smiled and thanked Xu Biao: "Thank you, Master Xu."

Seeing that she was still thanking him, Xu Biao felt even more embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly: "It's a small matter, but I'm curious what Doctor Rong wants these stones for?"

Xu Biao thought that Rong Su was a doctor, so if he was asked to find some precious herbs or medicinal materials, he could still understand, but asking for stones was really puzzling to him.

Seeing Xu Biao's confusion, Rong Su had no intention of hiding it from him, so she told him openly, "Active charcoal can absorb the poisonous gas from copper mica very well. I want to get activated charcoal to help the miners in the mining city get rid of the trouble caused by the poisonous gas from copper mica. This way, they can continue to mine copper mica and survive."

After hearing Rong Su's words, Xu Biao's eyes when he looked at her changed, from respect for her for saving him to an expression of awe.

He immediately stood up from his seat, clasped his hands together, and looked at her with admiration: "I've always seen that Doctor Rong is a good doctor who saves people from danger, but I didn't expect that you are also someone who does good things for the people. You are truly as capable as men! Doctor Rong, I admire you very much!"

Xu Biao's admiring look and respectful words made her feel a little uncomfortable.

And she unconsciously felt a little guilty in her heart.

She was not as good as Xu Biao said. Everything she did was purposeful, whether it was saving Xu Biao or looking for live charcoal for the miners in the mining city.

Rong Su smiled awkwardly, not knowing for a moment how to respond to Xu Biao's words of admiration. She could only use a smile to hide her embarrassment.

But the more Xu Biao looked at Rong Su, the more satisfied he became. He waved his hand proudly and said, "Doctor Rong, take as much live charcoal as you want. Ah Di! Do you hear me?"

Zhou Di, who was originally outside the hall, had come in without knowing when. He bowed his head and said to Xu Biao, "Yes, Sect Master."

Xu Biao smiled heartily, then looked at Rong Su, then at Zhou Di, and suddenly another idea came to his mind.

"Doctor Rong, how old are you this year?"

He was talking about live charcoal just one second ago, but why is he asking about her age this second?

Although she had her doubts, Rong Su didn't take it too seriously and answered Xu Biao directly: "After the Chinese New Year, it will be Double Tenth."

Xu Biao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he seemed very happy. He clapped his hands, laughed, and glanced at Zhou Di: "Adi, I think you are already twenty-three years old."

Zhou Di had no doubts and nodded: "Yes."

"Very good, the age is right." Xu Biao stroked his thick beard and smiled so hard that his eyes could no longer be seen. He looked at Rong Su and asked directly, "Doctor Rong, are you interested in Ah Di? If you are, you will be the future wife of the leader of the Hutou Sect!"

Originally, Rong Su didn't think about it that way at all. When Xu Biao said that, she immediately opened her eyes wide and showed a surprised expression. So Xu Biao wanted to match her with Zhou Di.

She quickly waved her hand and refused: "No, no. Thank you for your kindness, Master Xu, but I don't have the heart for this right now."

Seeing Rong Su's refusal, Xu Biao's face immediately turned serious, and his happy expression disappeared. His serious face was a little scary: "Is it because Ah Di is not good enough? Ah Di is the most handsome among all the unmarried men in Hutoumen."

Rong Su smiled in her heart. Is this a matter of whether he is handsome or not? It should be a matter of whether she wants to or not.

She didn't like compliments, so she simply said to Xu Biao, "Whether Hall Master Zhou is good or not is not something I can casually comment on, and I don't like to casually comment on others. I really don't have any thoughts on this kind of thing right now. I just want to treat patients well and be a good doctor who saves the world."

Xu Biao frowned as he listened to Rong Su's words, but he couldn't find anything wrong with her words. He also felt that what she said made him admire and agree with her, so he couldn't help but feel regretful in the end.

"Ah, it seems that Adi is not lucky enough to marry Doctor Rong."

He looked at Zhou Di with regret, but Zhou Di's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, as if he was not affected at all by Xu Biao's words.

Whether Xu Biao wanted to match him and Rong Su, or Rong Su rejected Xu Biao's matchmaking in front of him, in fact, Rong Su directly rejected him, and he seemed to be unmoved by any emotion.

When Rong Su refused, she glanced at Zhou Di's expression. Although she didn't care what Zhou Di thought, she just habitually looked at the other party's expression.

But she didn't expect that the other party didn't even have any expression. Rong Su became more certain that Zhou Di was more like a piece of wood than Shen Peiqing, the dead wood.

"Well, I can't force Doctor Rong. Let's put it this way. Ah Di is like my own brother. As for me, I know I don't have much time left. I also admire Doctor Rong very much. Since Doctor Rong has no interest in Ah Di, does Doctor Rong want to have another brother? How about you recognize Ah Di as your sworn brother?"

Xu Biao was obviously not giving up. He thought that since A-di couldn't marry Rong Su, he might as well recognize Rong Su as his sister. This way they would be closer, and it would also be good for Hutoumen to have another miracle doctor. After he left, A-di would still have Rong Su to take care of him, so he could leave with peace of mind.

In his eyes, Rong Su is already a very good person and can definitely take care of Zhou Di on his behalf.

Rong Su's smile was a little forced, thinking that she had just rejected Xu Biao, but she never expected that he had not given up yet and found another way to ask her to recognize Zhou Di as her sworn brother.

Seeing that Rong Su still seemed reluctant, Xu Biao didn't want to push her too far, so he said with a bright smile, "How about this! Doctor Rong, go back and think about it first. Our Tiger Head Sect is the largest gang between the two countries in East and West Asia!"
