The master of Wanyaozhai gently stroked his non-existent beard and hair, and smiled sinisterly.

"Alright, tomorrow, I will personally go to Little Fairy Doctor and make sure I find out the details about the cultivation technique."

"If it's true, we can save her life if she hands it over. If not... Hmph! Then don't blame me for not showing any mercy."

Upon hearing the words of the Master of Wanyaozhai, the servant immediately lowered his head to the ground, bowing and scraping, and said, "Master is wise. Wanyaozhai will surely rise to prominence under your leadership."

"Ha ha ha ha...."

Standing on a high point in the town, Xiao Fan looked down at the quiet town below. He knew that once dawn broke, the balance of this town, which had been peaceful for decades, would be broken.

In the small town of Qingshan, just as dawn broke, the ordinary mercenaries did not notice anything amiss.

But the slightly larger powers were unusually quiet today, with most staying indoors.

Because they knew that the rumors that had been circulating in Qingshan Town for a month were about to come to an end.

Early morning, in the Wan Yao Zhai (a traditional Chinese medicine clinic).

As usual, Little Fairy Doctor got up and washed up.

However, the maidservant was no longer by his side.

After all, she had only told her maid about the treasure in the cave, and she hadn't seen it since she returned.

She didn't seem to care much.

Nowadays, she rarely even leaves her own room, since Wan Yao Zhai is no longer a good place for her.

Only when she stayed in this room, which she had filled with spices, could Little Fairy Doctor feel a sense of security.

Crunch!

The wooden door to the courtyard was gently pushed open, and the harsh scraping sound brought Little Fairy Doctor back to her senses.

Upon opening the door, one could see that the guards of Wan Yao Zhai had already surrounded the courtyard.

A plump figure slowly walked in from the courtyard gate. It was the owner of Wanyaozhai from last night.

"Mr. Yao, I don't know what brings you here..."

Little Fairy Doctor pretended not to know anything. When she saw the newcomer, she tilted her head slightly and asked curiously.

"hehe..."

Mr. Yao put on a gentle and kind expression and looked at Little Fairy Doctor in a soft voice.

“Little Fairy Doctor, more than ten years have passed since our Wan Yao Zhai took you in. Things have really changed.”

He turned his head to look at Little Fairy Doctor and smiled.

"We at Wan Yao Zhai treat you like family, don't we?"

Little Fairy Doctor bowed gracefully to Mr. Yao.

"The kindness you have shown me goes without saying."

Mr. Yao smiled upon hearing Little Fairy Doctor's words.

"Alright! Since Wan Yao Zhai is also your family, then I'd like to hear a question from you: Is it true that you obtained a Xuan-rank cultivation technique, as rumored in Qingshan Town recently?"

Little Fairy Doctor looked at Mr. Yao and said gently.

"So, sir, do you hope it's just a rumor, or is it true or false?"

Mr. Yao paced back and forth in the courtyard, speaking in a loud voice.

"I won't lie to you. I received information from my informant that the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is already planning to coerce you. If it's true, you can hand over the cultivation technique and we will naturally protect you. If it's false, then we are powerless to help you."

Little Fairy Doctor was about to continue speaking after hearing Mr. Yao's words when she was interrupted by a voice from outside the courtyard gate.

"Hehe, Mr. Yao, you can't protect her."

A deep voice rang out from outside the courtyard, interrupting the conversation inside.

"Who?"

Mr. Yao's conversation was interrupted, and he immediately turned grim, looking towards the gate.

"It hasn't been long since Mr. Yao recognized my voice?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a sinister-looking man stepped in; it was Mu She.

Upon seeing Mu She, Mr. Yao's expression darkened.

"So it's Commander Mu. May I ask what brings you to my Wan Yao Zhai?"

"Heh! Is Mr. Yao looking for those good-for-nothings outside?"

Mu She glanced at Mr. Yao's expression and said indifferently.

"That's a real pity. How could such trash possibly stop my Wolf Head Mercenary Group?"
