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

Chapter 60, How could this person's background be so complicated?

After seeing Han Shen off, Xu Qing returned home and locked herself inside.

"I really don't know how long we'll have to live like this, so timid and hesitant."

Xu Qing looked at the Wind Chaser in his hand with a helpless expression. As the Imperial Physician of the State of Han, he was not allowed to possess martial arts skills. If he wanted to learn martial arts, he could only do so secretly.

"There have been noticeably more people of all kinds in Xinzheng these past two days, so I'd better be careful."

Many schools of thought have gathered in Xinzheng, and these people are a mixed bag. Now that he is known as a divine healer, it's possible that someone might target him for various reasons.

In order to have a few more days of peace, he had to be cautious in everything he did and prioritize stability.

The tables and furniture in the room were moved away, creating a spacious area.

Xu Qing adjusted his breathing, circulated the Evergreen Skill within his body, and began practicing riding the wind.

The reason why Xu Qing practiced "Riding the Wind" first, rather than "Noble Void Sword Technique," was because he had too few opportunities to fight, so it was better to master a life-saving skill like "Riding the Wind."

Riding the wind is divided into two parts: lightness skill and body technique. Lightness skill gathers internal energy and legs, and the Qi acupoints respond to nature to form a strong wind, which is then used to ride the wind.

The movement technique is based on the Fengxue (wind cave) and the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching. Users move in a specific order according to the hexagram positions, thereby achieving an unpredictable and elusive movement.

Following the movement patterns and techniques of the little figure on the cloth, Xu Qing began to cultivate, his figure constantly shifting within the room.

Just as Xu Qing was immersed in practicing riding the wind, a figure appeared on the roof of the house next door.

"As expected, the Mo family has already come looking for you. Now it's just a matter of waiting for them to come to you."

Fei Yan stared at Xu Qing's tightly closed door, her beautiful eyes filled with indifference.

She had been keeping a close eye on Xu Qing for three days. During these three days, except for the Han King's Palace which she could not enter, she dared not relax for a moment.

Three days didn't keep her waiting; she finally saw the Mo family find Xu Qing.

She secretly followed Han Shen after he left. But Han Shen was too vigilant and quickly shook her off.

Looking at Xu Qing's tightly closed door and the window covered by a black cloth, Fei Yan's eyes flashed with a look of doubt.

She had been secretly following Xu Qing for the past three days. Whenever Xu Qing came home, he would hide in the house, blocking the doors and windows tightly, and she didn't know what he was doing.

He doesn't seem like a high-ranking imperial physician; rather, he's an eccentric with erratic behavior.

Moreover, in the past three days, many powerful and influential people have privately come to Xu Qing to have their pulses checked, and Xu Qing has agreed to do so for them all.

Contrary to rumors, he did not act with high medical ethics and refuse payment afterward; instead, he seemed intent on charging exorbitant prices.

However, when Xu Qing went to the market every day and met ordinary people, he was able to diagnose and treat them for free.

"Could he really be a member of the Taoist Heavenly Sect, a pawn planted in Xinzheng by the Heavenly Sect?"

“No, the Heavenly Sect cultivates the Dao, under which all beings are equal, and all things are merely passersby in their eyes. He once studied Confucianism, which is somewhat similar to Confucianism, but not quite. Is it similar to the chivalry of the Mohists? But I have never heard of him having any connection with the Mohists.”

"Medical techniques, the style of the Heavenly Sect, learned from Confucianism, and somewhat similar to the Mohist school."

Fei Yan's expression was complicated, and her eyes were full of doubt as she looked at Xu Qing's door.

She has lived in the Nine Palaces Divine Capital Mountain for many years, surrounded by disciples of the Yin-Yang School. Although these people are different due to their personalities, she has never met someone as complex as Xu Qing before.

This made Fei Yan a little curious. How could this person's background be so complicated?

"weirdo."

Feiyan pondered for a moment, but she still leaned more towards the idea that Xu Qing was a member of the Heavenly Sect.

If Xu Qing is a member of the Heavenly Sect, then all the strange occurrences seem normal. Even though the Yin-Yang School originated from Taoism, they all agree that the cultivators of the Heavenly Sect are abnormal.

However, Tianzong has been living in seclusion for many years, and now he has suddenly planted a pawn in Xinzheng. Moreover, this pawn is quite famous, which is not like Tianzong's style at all.

These unusual events made Fei Yan realize that Tianzong might have some unspeakable secret in Xinzheng, which could potentially affect the Yin Yang School's plans in Korea.

"We must inform Master Nan immediately and have him report it to the sect."

Feiyan glanced at Xu Qing's door again, turned and left, arriving at the Yin Yang Clan's stronghold in a few flashes.

Chu Nan Gong looked at Fei Yan as she returned and waved to her.

"Dongjun, is there any news about Xu Qing?" Chu Nangong asked.

"Master Nan, the Mo family has already found Xu Qing, but I've lost track of them. Besides that, for the past three days, I..." Fei Yan revealed her guess.

Upon hearing this, Chu Nan Gong's smile gradually disappeared, and his expression became serious.

"His alchemy, strange behavior, and ethereal demeanor certainly resemble those of the Daoist Tianzong sect," Chu Nan Gong said in a deep voice.

"Today, Han Shen, the leader of the Mohist school, visited Xu Qing. Although I didn't hear the specific content of their conversation, it seems that this was not their first meeting."

"The Soul-Devouring Gu Curse takes effect in five days. Even if the Six-Fingered Black Knight has profound internal strength, it is absolutely impossible for him to last more than ten days."

"Ten days have passed, and Han Shen, as Six-Fingered Black Knight's confidant, shows no sign of anxiety. This is clearly impossible if Six-Fingered Black Knight's injuries haven't improved." "Therefore, I suspect that Xu Qing may have already treated Six-Fingered Black Knight's injuries, and he may know about the Mo family's stronghold."

Feiyan recalled Han Shen and Xu Qing's interaction today and shared all her guesses.

Chu Nan Gong looked at Fei Yan with admiration in his eyes. As expected of the Yin Yang School's number one genius in a century, she was able to deduce such important information from these seemingly insignificant details.

"Do you want to capture Xu Qing for interrogation in order to find out the location of the Mo family's stronghold?" Chu Nan Gong said.

“This is the fastest and most efficient way,” Fei Yan nodded and said.

The Yin-Yang School possesses numerous interrogation techniques and is not worried at all that Xu Qing will remain silent. If Xu Qing refuses to listen to reason and is forced to drink the punishment, she wouldn't mind using the Nine Palaces Soul Transfer Technique to manipulate him into finding the Mo Family's stronghold.

Chu Nan Gong hesitated. Fei Yan's method was indeed the most effective, but Xu Qing's identity was troublesome.

Xu Qing is not only the Imperial Physician of Han, but also a trusted minister of the King of Han, even though he doesn't wield much real power. Taking action against him would certainly affect the Yin-Yang School's plans in Han.

Moreover, based on the existing intelligence, Xu Qing is very likely a member of the Taoist Heavenly Sect.

The Taoist Heavenly Sect is currently outside the city. If Xu Qing is indeed a member of the Heavenly Sect, if they act rashly, they will face two enemies at the same time: the Heavenly Sect and the Mohist School. The Taoist Human Sect may also take the opportunity to attack them.

Just as Chu Nan Gong hesitated, the Moon Goddess returned to the mansion.

The Moon Goddess first glanced coldly at Fei Yan beside her, then looked at Chu Nan Gong.

"Master Nan, the investigation into the strange phenomena in Xinzheng is almost complete. Many things, large and small, have happened in Xinzheng these days, each with different purposes and instigators."

"But the Imperial Physician Xu Qing appeared in every single incident, and was always at the center."

The Moon Goddess recounted all the information she had gathered, especially emphasizing Xu Qing's role in each event and the resulting consequences.

"It seems this Imperial Physician is hiding a great secret," Chu Nan Gong said in a deep voice.

Feiyan nodded silently in agreement. All signs indicated that Xu Qing was very likely the anomaly that the Yin Yang School was looking for.

Looking at Chu Nan Gong and Fei Yan with their solemn expressions, the Moon Goddess realized that during the three days she had been investigating the strange phenomena outside, Fei Yan had discovered other clues from Xu Qing.

"What's wrong with this Imperial Physician?" the Moon Goddess asked.

"Dongjun, explain this to the Moon Goddess."

Feiyan looked at the Moon Goddess and told her about the results of her three days of following Xu Qing and her guesses.

Chu Nan Gong fell into deep thought, reconsidering their mission in Xinzheng.

The first priority is to hunt down the Mohist Grand Master and retrieve the stolen relics of Liezi. Whether or not they can kill the Mohist Grand Master is not important, but they must retrieve the relics of Liezi, as this concerns the future of the Yin-Yang School.

The second is to investigate the cause of the strange phenomenon in Xinzheng. Currently, all clues point to Xu Qing as the anomaly.

The former requires finding the Grand Master of the Mohist School through Xu Qing, while the latter is directly related to Xu Qing. Originally two separate tasks, they are now connected. Furthermore, Xu Qing's layered identity forces him to carefully consider his next move.

"He's involved with Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, traditional Chinese medicine, and even Korea. How can his background be so complicated?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the Moon Goddess's eyes, and her expression became serious.

"Nan Gong, what should we do next?" Yue Shen and Fei Yan both looked at Chu Nan Gong.

Just as Chu Nan Gong was pondering what to do next, a carrier pigeon flew into the courtyard.

Upon seeing this, the Moon Goddess stepped forward, grabbed the carrier pigeon, and took the letter from its feet.

Looking at the contents, the Moon Goddess was somewhat surprised, and then handed it to Chu Nan Gong.

"The Mohist School and the Heavenly Sect have been in contact in private?" A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Nan Gong's eyes, but then he made up his mind.

"I will temporarily abandon the primary mission and report the situation in Xinzheng to His Majesty the Eastern Emperor so that he can make the decision."

"As for Xu Qing, Fei Yan, you continue to secretly monitor Xu Qing. Yue Shen, you lead your men to cooperate with Fei Yan. If you detect any Mo family or Tianzong people approaching, immediately evacuate Xinzheng."

Feiyan and Yueshen nodded in unison upon hearing Chu Nangong's arrangement.

Chu Nan Gong looked at the letter in his hand with an extremely solemn expression. The contact between the Mohists and the Tianzong Sect made him suspect that the Mohists might have handed over Liezi's relics to the Tianzong Sect in exchange for their help.

Although the Yin-Yang School also originated from Taoism, Liezi was a sage of the Taoist Tianzong lineage. If the Tianzong lineage did not know that they were plotting to seize Liezi's relics, it would be fine, but if they did, they would certainly not let them off easily.

If the Mohists and the Heavenly Sect were to unite, the three of them would be in danger. Fei Yan and Yue Shen were the future of the Yin-Yang School, and he would rather give up the pursuit of Liezi's relics than fail to ensure their safety.

As for Xu Qing, he didn't actually want to continue the investigation. However, Donghuang Taiyi said that the strange phenomena in Xinzheng would affect the future plans of the Yin-Yang School, so he had no choice but to continue keeping an eye on Xu Qing.

"Let Donghuang make the decision. I'm just an old man who keeps getting into all sorts of trouble."

Chu Nan Gong was filled with emotion.

Xu Qing was unaware that he had become the target of everyone's criticism. He had just been summoned by the Tide Demoness and was on his way to the Pearl Palace.
