A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

"Nonsense! How could something like this possibly be on me? Master Yu Guan, you...!"

Qin Xuan's mind felt like it was being blown up by explosives, with a series of "buzzing" and "booming" sounds.

He even began to suspect that he had fallen into the trap of the Taoist priest Yu Guan, and that the priest might be working with Zhao Yucheng.

"Qin Xuan! How dare you!" Zhao Yucheng's murderous aura rose. "This thing is on you, and you still dare to deny it?"

"General! I'm innocent! How could I possibly know these things?!" Qin Xuan vehemently denied it.

In desperation, Qin Xuan turned to look at the Taoist priest, clinging to a sliver of hope that the priest would offer an explanation.

To everyone's surprise, the Taoist priest himself looked completely bewildered.

"Guards!" Zhao Yucheng ordered, "Seize Doctor Qin and await further orders!"

Two guards captured Qin Xuan from the left and right.

At this point, Qin Xuan couldn't care less about anything else, even though everything was progressing exactly as he had anticipated.

But why did the array pattern suddenly appear on my body?

"Yu Guan! What are you standing there for? Tell the general right now, I didn't set up this formation!"

After being yelled at by Qin Xuan, Master Yu Guan finally came back to his senses from the shock and confusion.

"Yes, yes, yes! There's another mark!" The Taoist priest slapped his forehead, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.

"General, wait!" The Taoist priest flicked his whisk, as if he had grasped at another lifeline.

"This formation not only leaves a mark on the person who sets it up, but also on the training ground."

"Oh? Please enlighten me, Daoist Master." Zhao Yucheng suppressed the raging anger burning within him.

Watching the other side step by step into the trap they themselves had laid, Zhao Yucheng once again sighed inwardly:

If it weren't for Zhou Ruo, he wouldn't have survived this time!

The Taoist priest hurried toward the location of the formation in the training ground, and Zhao Yucheng followed.

Zhao Jinzhong led Zhou Ruo behind him, ready to watch a good show.

Qin Xuan struggled strongly to go along; he wanted to see how he had been wrongly accused.

The guards couldn't persuade him otherwise, so they had no choice but to grab him and lead him to that spot.

When the group arrived at the place the Taoist priest had described, the soldiers also gathered around.

"Master, is the mark you mentioned right here?" Zhao Yucheng asked, pointing to the spot in front of the Master.

"General, this is the place. Please wait a moment."

The Taoist priest sensed that the formation was still "alive," but there seemed to be signs of it being disturbed on the ground.

Moreover, there's a strange smell around here.

Zhao Jinzhong thought the Taoist priest was being too slow and urged him, "Taoist priest, you said there was a mark, where is it? We didn't see it!"

"Young general, don't be impatient. Let this old Taoist priest make it appear!" With that, the Taoist priest took out a talisman from his pocket.

He waved the talisman in the air a few times while chanting incantations, and then the talisman burst into flames in the air.

"A manifestation talisman..." Zhou Ruo looked at it for a long time before realizing that the talisman was a manifestation talisman.

It wasn't that the talisman on the paper was drawn incorrectly, but rather that the Taoist priest's skill in drawing talismans was so low that Zhou Ruo almost couldn't tell.

Moreover, the array on the ground had already been "reset" by Zhou Ruo, and his ten manifestation talismans could not produce even the slightest trace.

The Taoist priest burned the first manifestation talisman, but there was no reaction on the ground. He thought the talisman was not powerful enough, so he burned two more, but it still didn't work.

After burning five sheets in a row, Zhou Ruo couldn't bear it any longer. "Grandpa Taoist Priest, why is it taking so long?"

The surrounding soldiers, also curious, tried to help the Taoist priest analyze the situation: "Could you have found the wrong location?"

"I remember this is the place, there's no mistake!" the Taoist priest blurted out.

"Remember?" Zhao Yucheng, realizing the Taoist's words had given him away, followed up, "What, did you set up this formation, Taoist priest?"

"No, no, no!" The Taoist priest broke out in a cold sweat and quickly protested, "How could this be from the old Taoist priest? I sensed... sensed..."

The Taoist priest nervously took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but he still didn't give up. He circled the location of the formation twice.

Zhao Jinzhong, annoyed that he was wasting his time, simply reminded him, "Daoist Master, why do I feel like there's something on the ground in front of your feet?"

After listening to Zhao Jinzhong's words, the Taoist priest gently tapped the ground with his whisk and indeed found something unusual.

He stepped forward and cried out, "Ouch!" as he fell directly into the latrine that Zhao Jinzhong and his men had dug in advance.

"What is this? It stinks!" The Taoist priest pinched his nose and stirred the cesspool for a while before realizing he had been tricked.

Everyone burst into laughter, while the Taoist priest in the pit turned red with anger.

Qin Xuan watched this scene from the ground, shocked and puzzled once again. What exactly happened?

Only then did he realize that the Taoist priest, like him, had been tricked.

He broke free from the guards' restraints, ran to the pit, and struggled to pull the Taoist priest out of the latrine.

"Doctor Qin, we've been tricked," the Taoist priest whispered in Qin Xuan's ear.

Zhao Yucheng wanted to know how these two would try to exonerate themselves.

"Master, is this the array marking you mentioned?"

The Taoist priest's face turned red, his heart burning with anger from the stench emanating from the body.

He took off his coat and threw it aside; the loose undershirt couldn't cover his chest, and the blue mark on his chest was faintly visible.

"Wait!" Zhao Yucheng noticed the mark on the Taoist priest's chest. "Taoist priest, you have a mark on your chest!"

The Taoist priest's attempts to hide or make excuses were now futile.

Zhou Ruo jumped in front of the Taoist priest, pinched her nose, and accused him, "You're so mean! You're the one who set up this formation, you deserve to eat more poop!"

The Taoist priest was unable to deny it and could only admit it, but he was very puzzled.

"Hmph!" Zhou Ruo crossed her arms, looking down on the Taoist priest. "What's so strange about your lousy formation being broken?"

The Taoist priest looked at the child in confusion. "What do you mean? Did you solve the mystery?"

"Yes, I'm the one who cracked it!" Zhou Ruo said, hands on her hips.

"I was the one who put the pattern on Dr. Qin's body. Look again now, the mark on Dr. Qin's chest is gone!"

Zhou Ruo felt sorry for the Taoist priest because of his poor skills, so he simply told him directly.

Qin Xuan then lowered his head and pulled open his clothes to examine them carefully, but the mark from before had disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Yucheng: "Guards, take this Taoist priest and Qin Xuan away!"

"Wait!" Qin Xuan refused to admit defeat. "General, don't forget, without me, the epidemic in the wounded soldiers' camp wouldn't have been cured!"

Zhou Ruo was displeased upon hearing this. In terms of medical skills, she had never seen anyone more arrogant than she had been in her previous life.

She peeked her little head up to Qin Xuan and asked him, "Why can't it be cured?"

Qin Xuan scoffed at her, seeing that she was just a little kid, and didn't bother to pay her any attention.

Zhao Yucheng was displeased. "Ruo'er is asking you, why can't it be cured!"

Hearing Zhao Yucheng's cold tone, Qin Xuan arrogantly spoke up: "You can't find the source of the epidemic!"
