People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 56, Dongjun Yueshen, the Loyal Xu Qing
A graceful and beautiful figure withdrew her gaze, silently memorizing the appearance of Xu Qing's carriage.

The figure wore a dark blue long dress, the hem and patterns of which resembled a three-legged golden crow, perfectly outlining her curvaceous figure.

Beneath the slightly short skirt, a pair of long, shapely legs were exposed, and she wore a pair of black boots with two black straps wrapped around her smooth, fair calves.

Her long, jet-black hair was gathered up, revealing her fair neck and shoulders, her skin as smooth as jade, glowing with a cool, white light. Her features were exquisitely beautiful; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her breathtakingly beautiful.

His expression was cold and stern, with a sharp, aloof look between his brows and eyes. His dark golden eyes were as deep as stars, yet they concealed a sharp edge.

She exudes an air of elegance and luxury, and combined with her aloof and indifferent expression, she seems like a fairy who has strayed into the mortal world, giving people a sense of transcendence.

"Your Excellency Dongjun, the Southern Lord and the Moon Goddess request your return." A cold, deep voice sounded from outside the door.

This person is none other than Dongjun Feiyan, whose status in the Yin-Yang School is second only to the sect leader Donghuang Taiyi.

"I see."

Fei Yan spoke coldly as she turned and walked towards the door.

When the puppet servants outside saw Fei Yan walk out, they bowed their heads deeply to show their respect, and could only watch as her fair and slender legs walked away in black boots.

After leaving the inn, Fei Yan's figure passed through several streets and entered a private residence.

Chu Nan Gong was already waiting for Fei Yan in the courtyard.

"Lord Dong, how is the situation?" Chu Nan Gong asked with a kind smile, holding a dragon-headed cane.

“He went straight to the Han King’s Palace after leaving home this morning, and so far we haven’t found any contact between him and the Mo family,” Fei Yan said.

After receiving the order from Donghuang Taiyi, Feiyan and Yueshen, led by Chu Nangong, traveled day and night to Xinzheng.

After entering the city today, Chu Nan Gong arranged for the two of them to carry out different tasks. Fei Yan was responsible for keeping an eye on Xu Qing, while Yue Shen was to meet with the Yin Yang School's people in Xinzheng to gather intelligence on the Mo School's stronghold.

While Fei Yan and Chu Nan Gong were talking, the gate of the mansion was opened, and a figure walked into the mansion.

The newcomer was dressed in a magnificent silver-blue gown, the long skirt trailing on the ground, with violet stripes embroidered on the hem, her voluptuous figure filling out the loose dress.

The exaggerated size of her chest created several folds in her dress, while the navy blue sash cinched her slender waist, outlining an alluring curve with her full, peach-like breasts.

Her long, pale purple hair was styled in an updo, adorned with several unique hair accessories, and beneath a pink veil, her icy blue eyes were filled with indifference.

Her expression was indifferent, just like Fei Yan's, and her brows exuded a sense of aloofness and profundity. However, unlike Fei Yan's dignified and virtuous demeanor, the Moon Goddess radiated an aura of cold frost.

Feiyan glanced at the Moon Goddess before looking away, and the Moon Goddess also gave Feiyan a cold look. An invisible sense of power struggle spread between the two.

Chu Nan Gong watched this scene and sighed inwardly.

Feiyan and Yueshen are both rare geniuses of the Yin-Yang School. Although they are still young, their mastery of Yin-Yang techniques is already comparable to that of the former five elders, making them top-notch experts in the martial arts world.

Given time, he could reach the Grandmaster Celestial Realm and become a pillar of the Yin-Yang School. All of this seemed wonderful, but everyone in the Yin-Yang School knew that Dongjun and Yueshen were not on good terms.

The two were of similar age, possessed extraordinary talent, and had profound mastery of Yin-Yang techniques, so they naturally regarded each other as rivals.

For many years, the two have been competing, but Fei Yan, as Dong Jun, has always been slightly ahead of Yue Shen.

Although the Moon Goddess is also exceptionally talented, she is still inferior to Fei Yan, who is hailed as the greatest genius of the Yin-Yang School in a century. Otherwise, the two wouldn't be one a priestess and the other a protector of the Yin-Yang School.

The relationship between the two was like that of a top student and a genius, the difference between them was obvious. Initially, the Yin-Yang School did not take their competition seriously.

It is believed that as the two grow older, the Moon Goddess will realize the gap between them and give up the idea of ​​competing with the Scarlet Smoke.

However, the Moon Goddess is resilient and not only did not give in to the Scarlet Smoke, but she continued to compete with her.

"The Mo family hasn't even been found yet, and the two of them have already started competing. It's really difficult for me to be put to the test by these two stubborn girls."

Chu Nan Gong shook his head helplessly, feeling a myriad of emotions in his heart.

This time, Donghuang Taiyi sent the two down the mountain not only to investigate the strange phenomena in Xinzheng and to hunt down the Mo family's leader, but also to let them experience the world and gain more experience in the martial arts world.

At the same time, it also tempered their character, allowing them to let go of this childish competition and work together to strengthen the Yin-Yang School.

"Moon Goddess, how's the situation on your end?" Chu Nan Gong interrupted the two's silent competition.

"Lord Nan, the Mo family's stronghold is extremely well hidden; our people haven't found it." The Moon Goddess's voice was cold and clear, like frost.

Looking at Feiyan and Yueshen, Chu Nangong felt that he had to separate the two of them, otherwise it might affect the mission.

"Our mission this time, besides hunting down the Mo family's leader, is also to investigate the strange phenomena in Xinzheng."

"The Mo family's leader is seriously injured. They came to Xinzheng, surely hoping to seek help from the recently renowned divine physician, Xu Qing, the Imperial Physician of Han." "The Six-Fingered Black Knight suffered from Xinghun's Soul-Devouring Curse. He doesn't have much time to delay his injuries."

“The Mo family will definitely contact Xu Qing soon. Fei Yan, you continue to keep an eye on Xu Qing. Once you discover any trace of the Mo family, don’t make a fuss. Keep a close watch on them secretly.”

"Moon Goddess, take people to investigate the cause of the strange phenomenon in Xinzheng. Remember to be careful."

"Now, not only the Mohists and us are in Xinzheng, but also the Agriculturalists, the Taoist Heavenly Sect and Human Sect, and other schools of thought are arriving one after another. We must not reveal our whereabouts."

Chu Nan Gong instructed the two men on their tasks, his words filled with entrustment. Although the two were exceptionally talented and highly skilled, this was their first time venturing into the martial world, and they lacked experience.

You never know when you might fall into a trap, and if one of them gets hurt, the Yin-Yang masters will be heartbroken.

“Yes,” said Scarlet Smoke and Moon Goddess.

The two glanced at each other, then turned and left the courtyard.

Chu Nan Gong looked at this scene with a worried expression.

For some reason, watching the two figures leave, he felt a little uneasy, as if this mission would not be completed so easily.

At this moment, Xu Qing was unaware that he had been targeted by the Yin Yang School. He had just finished his roll call and was preparing to return to his room to work.

"Have you heard? Fourth Young Master Han Yu was injured last night. He injured his left arm and right leg."

"That's natural, today is the day for ancestor worship. The general suggested that the fourth young master rest, but the fourth young master insisted on accompanying the king to worship the ancestors."

"His Majesty led all the officials out of the city to worship their ancestors and will not return to the palace until tomorrow. Today will be much more leisurely."

Three or four medical officers huddled together, whispering about the news they had heard.

As Xu Qing listened to their discussion, he thought of the attack on Qianlong Hall the previous night.

Situ Wanli only told him that two people had died, without giving him any other details.

Even Han Yu, a participant in the meeting, was accidentally injured like this, which suggests that the assassins' attack last night was quite significant.

When the group saw Xu Qing walk up behind them, they quickly bowed.

"Greetings to the Imperial Physician."

"Yes, even though the King is not in the palace, we must not slack off. If any of the noble ladies in the harem falls ill, we must do our best to treat them." Xu Qing gave the group a lecture.

The group could only agree repeatedly, not daring to show the slightest emotion.

Although being lectured by Xu Qing, who was almost a decade younger than them, seemed like a shameful thing, Xu Qing was their boss and the "father" of the entire Imperial Medical Academy.

What's wrong with getting a few words of advice from your own father? It's better than offending a concubine in the imperial harem and losing your life.

"Go and get back to what you're doing."

"promise."

After Xu Qing dispersed the group, he returned to his room.

As the Imperial Physician, Xu Qing has a lot of work to do every day, as he needs to handle various affairs of the Imperial Hospital.

Unfold a bamboo scroll, which shows the amount of medicinal herbs Xu Qing lost yesterday while treating patients outside the palace.

"The total loss of various medicinal materials amounted to fifty-two taels of gold."

Xu Qing frowned as he looked at the tallied figures. How could it only be fifty-two gold coins? Who was this supposed to be humiliating?

People who don't know better might think that Xu Qing was giving the people inferior medicinal herbs, which would damage King Han's benevolent heart in caring for the people.

Xu Qing picked up his brush and changed the fifty-two gold coins on the bamboo slip to five hundred and twenty gold coins.

"I did not embezzle on purpose, but for the sake of Your Majesty's reputation."

"If the rulers of the other six countries heard about this, they would think that Korea couldn't provide good medicinal herbs."

Xu Qing felt no guilt whatsoever. On the contrary, he felt that Prince Han should thank him, since he was the only one in the court who was wholeheartedly working hard to save face for Prince Han.

Just as Xu Qing was about to continue handling his affairs, there was a knock on the door, and a medical officer walked in.

"Imperial Physician, Consort Hu has sent someone to invite you to come and examine her."
