Start with a red name

"……Yes."

Zheng Qingyan, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered her head and responded softly.

"Why is her daughter here?" Geng Xuan asked.

"After capturing the Inner Court, we made a point of looking into the matter.

The situation should be like this. When you suddenly showed up in Yueluyuan, it caused a huge shock to Wuyou Palace.

They followed the clues and confirmed that the theft of Baiyuanjiwai's medicines was also caused by you.

The Left Emissary Xi Hanyue and the Right Emissary Xiang Ling, who are in charge of collecting medicines and food, have reported the situation and want Wuyou Palace to take action against you.

However, Xiao Jingwen stopped them, accused them of their mistakes on the spot, and handed the matter concerning you back to them to resolve.

The two of them don't want to arrange for their own people to come forward when they don't know you well.

So, they try their best to push other forces to deal with you.

In the end, the battle of Qingyuanji would evolve to such a scale, and it was inseparable from their efforts behind the scenes.

On the other hand, they are secretly collecting information about you.

The biggest gain was finding Su Xuaner's family in Xinliangji in Yueluyuan."

Zheng Qingyan's answer completed a piece of the puzzle in Geng Xuan's mind.

However, his attention at this moment was almost entirely focused on her last sentence.

Zheng Qingyan paused for a moment, and without waiting for Geng Xuan to ask, she continued:
“In order to know more about you, Xi Hanyue made a promise to Su Xuaner.

As long as she cooperates, he will spare her daughter's life.

Outsiders have no idea what Su Xuan'er said to Xi Hanyue and Xiang Ling.

However, when the two men walked out of her house, Su Xuaner and her husband were killed, but her nine-year-old daughter survived.

Later, after several changes of hands, she was transferred to the inner court, where she was trained by the old woman who held her hostage and threatened us at the time."

Although he had a premonition that Su Xuaner's family would not have a good ending, Geng Xuan remained silent after listening to Zheng Qingyan's story.

After a while, he came back to his senses, looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, and said:
"Is she dead now?"

Zheng Qingyan shook her head and said, "She's not dead yet, but her current condition is not very good."

"Where is she now?" Geng Xuan asked hurriedly.

"nearby."

"Take me to see it."

Soon, Geng Xuan saw the little girl lying on a simple bed made of door panels.

Judging from her body shape, she was between a little girl and a young girl. She was pale and sleeping on the bed.

But even when he was asleep, his delicate brows were tightly furrowed.

Geng Xuan stared at the girl, and Zheng Qingyan said:
“At that time, the old woman threatened us with her, and we didn’t dare to believe her.

But he did not ignore her threat and attack rashly.

The junior sister suddenly had an idea and started to mock the old woman.

In the end, the curses got more and more vulgar, and the old woman became furious, and the two of them started to curse at each other directly. "

"Junior sister's original intention of doing this was actually to distract the old hag so that a deputy leader of the Blood Fang Group who is good at hiding could find the corner and rescue the person.

But I never thought…"

At this point, Zheng Qingyan looked at the little girl sleeping on the bed and said with a complicated expression:

“She was strangled by the old woman since she was abducted by her.

Many times, I was afraid that the old hag would get too emotional and strangle her neck.

Because her junior sister and she were cursing at each other from a distance, the old woman was distracted for a moment and relaxed her control over her.

She took advantage of that brief gap and suddenly raised her right hand, facing the old woman's face.

Later inspection revealed that she was wearing a bracelet on her wrist, which was actually a delicate little mechanism.

A small amount of liquid can be stored inside and sprayed out when needed.

She used that thing to turn a highly toxic liquid into a poisonous mist and sprayed it onto the old woman's face.

Caught off guard, half of the old woman's face, including one of her eyes, was hit by the poisonous mist."

"Under this sudden attack, the old woman screamed and threw her far away."

"This sudden change caused the old woman's fighting power to be greatly reduced. We killed her easily and took over the Inner Courtyard."

“But her condition is not very good. Before the old hag threw her out, some strength must have entered her body.

This caused severe damage to her internal organs.

Another time, she was thrown out by the old woman. Although her head was not the worst to hit the ground first, she accidentally broke her spine in the back. "

"We tried many methods, but we could only barely save her life. It was impossible to save her."

Having said this, Zheng Qingyan paused and continued:

"This is also the reason why we came to besiege Caizheyuan immediately after we breached Neiweiyuan."

Geng Xuan nodded, suddenly realizing.

Inside the Wuyou Palace, Caizheyuan is an institution for "synthesis and upgrading".

But apart from that, Caizheyuan is actually a super medical center.

In other words, the "peak marrow refining synthesis technology" that laid the strong foundation of Wuyou Palace was built on the extremely advanced medical technology mastered by Caizheyuan.

At this time, Yan Wenxuan had already brought the five surrendered people to the side.

Geng Xuan, who already understood their intention, took the initiative to step aside and let five professionals check the little girl on the bed.

Soon, the five people who had finished the inspection stood in front of Geng Xuan trembling with fear.

"Can it be saved?"

If possible, using good luck for treatment would be the most convenient.

But the prerequisite for Hongyun to save people is that they are “his own people”.

Although the little girl is named "Su Ruiliang's" granddaughter, she is not one of Geng Xuan's own.

Naturally, his good luck could not affect her.

The only woman among the five said:

"I can...I can save him, but...I need to use some cruel methods. I wonder if you can...can accept it."

Geng Xuan asked: "What cruel method are you talking about?"

A man next to her saw that she didn't answer very clearly. The "Su Ruiliang" in front of him had frowned several times, so he interrupted her and answered for her:
"Some of her internal organs were seriously injured. They were damaged to the core by the powerful force and are difficult to heal on their own.

To save the patient, organ replacement is necessary.

To replace the organs, you have to open the abdomen.”

Geng Xuan nodded, thinking of the surgery Xu Peng had performed on Xu Yao, and said:
"That's fine. As long as we can save her... I heard that her spine was also broken?"

“This isn’t a big problem. When we replace her organs, we can just connect them together.

She is at the age of growing up, and she will be able to fully recover in one or two years at most. "The man replied.

Listening to the man's answer, Geng Xuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "If the spine is completely destroyed, can you replace it like replacing an organ?"

The man shook his head and said:
"If it's just a broken spine, we can still do something about it.

But if it is completely destroyed, it won’t work.

…The only parts of the transplant that we couldn’t replace were two.

One is the head, and the second is the spine."

Geng Xuan thought that this should be due to the existence of the brain and spinal cord.

The core of the "marrow" in the marrow refining realm is the brain marrow and spinal cord, which are the most fragile and vital parts of the human body.

Looking at the little girl on the bed, Geng Xuan seemed to remember something and frowned again.

Seeing this, the man asked again cautiously:

"Do you have any further concerns?"

"It should be difficult to find organs suitable for her, right?" Geng Xuan asked.

If she were a few years older, this wouldn't be a problem.

Now, within the Wuyou Palace Acropolis, there are plenty of fresh corpses, among other things.

It was easy to put together a set of organs that suited her use.

But the current situation is that her body is really too small.

He couldn't convince himself to go to this city and find some living people of her age as "materials" in order to save her.

The man may have understood what he didn't say, and couldn't help but look up at him.

Perhaps he was a little surprised.

How could this man who destroyed Wuyou Palace in the blink of an eye be so entangled in such a trivial matter?
However, he quickly regained his position and said softly:
“If it were any other time, this might be a little difficult to handle.

However, there are many suitable 'materials' for her in the current Caizheyuan."

Geng Xuan was startled, looked at him deeply, nodded and said, "Okay, then you guys make the arrangements and try your best to save her."

The man responded, and immediately together with the other four companions, lifted the bed board and ran quickly towards the Caizhe Courtyard.

The speed was not slow, and the bed they were holding in their hands was steady, without any bumps.

Geng Xuan glanced at them twice, then looked away, looking at Zheng Qingyan and Yan Wenxuan, and said:
"You two didn't do anything wrong, there's no need to apologize to me for this.

You don't have to stay here, just go and do what you should do."

After hearing her words, the two girls were obviously relieved, responded respectfully, and quickly returned to the team.

After leaving dozens of people at his disposal, he led the rest of the people to quickly leave Caizheyuan and advance towards other areas of the Acropolis.

Geng Xuan looked at Tang Caizhu, Xue Zhiheng, and the two elders of the Xu family and said:
"You guys can come along too... I'll leave the rest of the finishing touches to you, is that ok?"

"No problem, leave it to us!"

The four of them responded and followed Zheng Qingyan and the others and left quickly.

Seeing how each of them was running away, Geng Xuan couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Now, almost everyone who knows him is certain that "Su Ruiliang" is not Su Ruiliang.

And his first reaction after hearing that he suddenly had a granddaughter undoubtedly confirmed this point. But it was as if everyone present had collectively lost their hearing.

Regarding the explosive news that he suddenly had a "granddaughter", they acted restrained and calm, as if they were afraid of overstepping the mark.

But this sense of propriety is indeed not easy to grasp.

Therefore, when Geng Xuan asked them to follow Zheng Qingyan and others, they all seemed to be relieved and couldn't wait to "escape" from him.

……

Enter the gate of Caizheyuan.

The Caizhe Courtyard covers a vast area, but its interior layout is very simple and clear at a glance.

Standing at the gate and looking inside, you can see a circle of houses in the shape of a Chinese character “U”.

On the outer circle, against the wall of Caizheyuan, is a circle of rooms of exactly the same shape.

After just a cursory glance, Geng Xuan estimated that there were hundreds of rooms.

There is a wooden board nailed to the door of each room with a unique number.

Then, there was a circular open space covered with shallow grass and paved with gravel.

In the very center of the open space, there is a complex of buildings covering an area of about one or two acres.

After the five men carried the bed into Caizheyuan, they walked straight through the open space paved with gravel and entered a room in the central building complex.

Soon, four people came out of the room, leaving the only woman in the room to look after the little girl.

The four people left the room, quickly crossed the open space on the left, and entered a room numbered "Right 73".

Geng Xuan discovered that the room numbers were very simple.

Just stand in the central building complex facing the gate of Caizheyuan, and the outer rooms will be divided into "front", "back", "left" and "right", and then you can arrange them in order of one, two, three, and four.

Just as I was wondering what these four people were doing in room numbered "Right 73", I saw them quickly walking out of the room.

Then, Geng Xuan's gaze suddenly focused.

But I saw these four people, each holding a small corpse in their hands and walking quickly.

The person in front not only held one body in each hand, but also had another one tucked under his right armpit.

The four men were walking quickly across the gravel lot, carrying the nine bodies, and were about to rush into the room where the little girl was placed.

Suddenly, they saw a flash of light before their eyes, and a figure seemed to appear out of thin air and stood in front of them.

The man who had just responded to Geng Xuan happened to be walking in front of the four people.

Seeing Geng Xuan suddenly appear in front of him, his eyes fixed on the three corpses in his hands and under his armpits, his heart suddenly tightened and he subconsciously put his hands behind his back, as if trying to avoid this gaze that made him feel too pressured.

He quickly explained:
"Su... Gang Leader Su, we didn't kill these children. They died of natural causes nearly an hour ago.

According to the procedure, those who died at night will be cleared out in the courtyard every hour.

If there hadn't been an unexpected incident tonight, they would have been cleared away by now."

"Naturally...died? Are you serious?"

Geng Xuan moved his gaze away from the man's hand and stared into his eyes.

"This..." The man was speechless.

After a moment of silence, Geng Xuan took the initiative to ask:
"Are you planning to use their internal organs as materials?"

"Yes."

"Is it okay to use these?" Geng Xuan asked.

The man quickly shook his head and said, "No, not only is there no problem, she can even benefit from it."

"benefit?"

“If she practices and reaches the flesh refining stage, it will be easier for her to refine her organs than for others,” the man explained.

"..."

Geng Xuan stared at the man for a few seconds, then stepped aside and said, "Go ahead."

The man quickly lowered his head towards Geng Xuan, then rushed forward quickly.

The four people following behind him said nothing as they followed his receding footsteps and disappeared from Geng Xuan's sight at the fastest speed.

Although they disappeared very quickly, the traces left by the eight corpses in Geng Xuan's mind were extremely clear and lingered for a long time.

Some have lost their arms.

Some had broken legs.

Some have lost their eyes.

……

Of the eight bodies, only one looked intact.

Is it really complete?
Geng Xuan was very skeptical about this.

Thinking of the boy's face which was more handsome than the others, Geng Xuan remembered that Wuyou Palace also had a very "high-end" business.

That is to castrate some handsome boys, and then give them special training based on the model of the Neiweiyuan.

Geng Xuan stood there for a while, and when he saw the dozens of people Zheng Qingyan had left behind for him to serve were standing at the entrance to Caizheyuan, he waved and said, "Come here, all of you."

After all these people arrived, he pointed to the brightly lit room where the little girl was placed and said, "You guys keep an eye on it."

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

"...But don't disturb their treatment." Geng Xuan reminded again.

"Yes." Everyone replied again.

After giving the instructions, Geng Xuan nodded slightly, but did not go to the room where the little girl was being treated. Instead, he turned and walked towards the "Right 73" room where four people carried out nine bodies.

Dozens of people who received his order gathered around the room where the little girl was being treated and surrounded it.

……

Room No. 73 Right.

Geng Xuan entered and saw ten beds at a glance.

This is the only furnishing in the house.

There was nothing else in the room except ten beds.

What made Geng Xuan couldn't help but take a few more glances was that the arrangement of the ten beds was very strange.

They are not against the wall or in a row, but are arranged in a circle in the room.

However, such a strange bed arrangement only made Geng Xuan look at it a few more times.

The rest of his attention, all of it, was focused on one of the beds.

Lying on the bed was a boy who looked about ten years old.

His right leg was missing below the knee.

Apart from this, the boy seemed to be sleeping soundly and there was nothing unusual about him.

Through the "ripples" emanating from him, Geng Xuan could tell that there was nothing wrong with him at the moment.

Not only is there nothing wrong, it can even be said that he is in very good condition!

Geng Xuan's gaze fell on the red light emanating from the boy's head.

According to his experience, if it is converted into good fortune, it can already contribute 16 points of good fortune to him.
Such "achievements" are enough to surpass those of many successful adults.

After a moment, Geng Xuan looked away and focused his eyes on the boy's wrists.

At first, Geng Xuan ignored the abnormalities in his wrists.

Finally, with careful observation.

Geng Xuancai used his sharp eyesight to discover that there was a very thin cut on both of the boy's wrists.

But after special treatment, the cuts have been fitted together.

Judging from his experience, it wouldn't take long for the cut to heal completely and no abnormality would be visible anymore.

Geng Xuan didn't stay too long. After observing the boy's condition, he turned and left the room.

Walk towards the "Right 74" next to it.

After pushing open the door and looking inside, Geng Xuan turned and walked in another direction.

Just now, he let go of his sense of smell a little.

So he concluded that the room had been vacant for some time and there was nothing to see.

However, after coming to this conclusion, he quickly blocked his overly sensitive sense of smell.

In a place like this, if he fully opened up his keen sense of smell without any shielding, Geng Xuan felt like he would vomit his entire stomach inside out.

Geng Xuan pushed open the door of Room 72, and it was also empty.

A keen sense of smell that switches on and off instantly.

This empty room was occupied by someone half a day ago.

There are not only living people, but also dead people.

A lot of dead people.

Geng Xuan walked towards "Right 71" again. This time, before he opened the door, Geng Xuan knew that the room was not empty.

On the contrary, very "full".

He paused at the door for a moment and pushed it open.

Although he had made sufficient mental preparations, the scene that came into his eyes still shocked Geng Xuan.

In the room, there were ten beds arranged in a circle, on which lay ten figures, all of them about twelve or thirteen years old.

The beds are arranged in a circle, and towards the center of the circle, the ten beds are almost close to each other.

This is also the direction in which the ten people's heads are facing.

As they were sleeping, each of them had their hands naturally spread out to the left and right.

The wrists of each of the hands that were stretched out to the left and right were cut by a sharp object.

Next to their wrists are the wrists of the other person on their left and right.

Thus, each wrist seemed to have two lips opened, tightly pressed against each other.

The people in the room were connected in a way that was so strange that Geng Xuan felt it was weird, forming a circle, as if they were one. (End of this chapter)
