You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

The next morning.

Qin Ran went to the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.

Qiao Ling'er was very happy to hear that Qin Ran had come: "Master, you haven't come in so long. I thought you had forgotten about me."

"I've been quite busy lately, so I haven't had time to come over. How have you been?"

"Business at the pharmacy hasn't been great lately. A lot has happened in the martial arts world, which has also affected us."

Qin Ran smiled and said, "It will be fine in a while."

"Did you come to see me today because you need something?"

"I want you to help me refine a Marrow Cleansing Pill."

Qiao Ling'er was somewhat surprised.

What does Qin Ran need the Marrow Cleansing Pill for?

The Marrow Cleansing Pill is used to cleanse the physical body and open up the meridians.

The most commonly used elixirs for ordinary people entering the martial arts world.

Qin Ran definitely doesn't need this kind of medicine.

"Master, do you have a friend who wants to learn martial arts?"

"Yes, my classmate wants to learn martial arts, and I'm going to refine a Marrow Cleansing Pill for him."

Qiao Ling'er's expression was a little strange: "Your classmate should be about the same age as you, right?"

"Yes."

"It feels like it's too late to start learning martial arts at this age."

"I think so too, but he's determined to enter the world of martial arts, so I'm going to help him."

Qiao Ling'er smiled and said, "No problem, leave it to me. The Marrow Cleansing Pill is child's play for me."

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

"Don't be so polite with me." Qiao Ling'er changed the subject: "By the way, do you know about Zhou Zhenshan?"

"Of course I know, I killed Zhou Zhenshan."

"What? You killed Zhou Zhenshan?" Qiao Ling'er was incredulous.

"To be precise, it was a joint operation between me and Bureau 749."

"I was wondering at the time how someone at the peak of martial arts like Zhou Zhenshan could be so easily killed. Turns out it was you who did it?"

Qin Ran smiled and said, "If he doesn't die, the martial arts world will be difficult to calm down, and the underground black martial arts forces will become more and more rampant, so he must die."

"That's right. Although such a person holds a high position and wields great power, he is wicked and acts as a protector for those underground criminal gangs. He deserves to die."

Qin Ran chatted with Qiao Ling'er for a while and then left.

The two agreed that Qin Ran would come to collect the Marrow Cleansing Pill once it was finished.

After leaving the Medicine King Pavilion, Qin Ran prepared to return.

He had just gotten into the car when he received a call from Gu Xinrou.

"Qin Ran, people from the Black Emperor Consortium's overseas headquarters have arrived. They want to see you."

"Okay, I understand, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Ran drove to the Black Emperor Consortium.

He knew why people from the overseas headquarters had come.

It must be because of the poisoning incident last time.

Qin Ran arrived at the Black Emperor Consortium very quickly.

We're still on holiday.

The employees haven't started work yet.

Qin Ran went directly to Gu Xinrou's office.

Push the door open and enter.

Gu Xinrou was talking to a man wearing a trench coat.

The man had a resolute face and sharp eyes, giving off a strong sense of pressure.

When Gu Xinrou saw Qin Ran coming over, she stood up and said, "You're here."

Qin Ran nodded, then looked at the man.

"Let me introduce you. This is Long Shuo, one of the four heads of the overseas headquarters."

Qin Ran was no stranger to the name Long Shuo.

His second master, Ye Xiaotian, had mentioned it to him.

In his early years, Ye Xiaotian went overseas to work as a mercenary because his family was short of money.

At that time, he founded a mercenary group called Black Emperor.

Ye Xiaotian led the Black Emperor Mercenary Group to make a lot of money overseas.

After the war, the Black Emperor Mercenary Group was disbanded.

Ye Xiaotian established the Black Emperor Consortium overseas.

The brothers who fought alongside him overseas back then stayed with the Black Emperor Corporation.

His four subordinates were the most formidable.

These four subordinates are in charge of all matters concerning the Black Emperor Consortium.

One of them was named Long Shuo.

At the same time, Long Shuo also stood up to greet him: "Mr. Qin, I've long admired your name."

"When we were in the Dragon-Trapping Prison, my Second Master also mentioned you."

Long Shuo smiled and said, "Let's sit down and talk."

After taking their seats, Qin Ran asked, "You came to see me because of the poisoning incident at the Xijing branch, right?"

"Yes, after the incident, our overseas headquarters took it very seriously and immediately set up a special task force to investigate. I know the whole story. The poisoning was caused by you."

Qin Ran sighed softly.

He did not deny it.

He caused those people's deaths.

He felt guilty about this.

"It's my responsibility, I'm very sorry."

Long Shuo continued, "This incident has a significant impact on the Black Emperor Consortium. The Black Emperor Consortium has never experienced such a severe incident since its inception, so..."

"You can say whatever you want to say."

"After unanimous discussion, our headquarters has decided to remove you from your position as head of the West Beijing branch of the Black Emperor Consortium. This decision was made after careful consideration, and we hope you can understand. Of course, if you have any objections, you can go to the boss, and we will follow his arrangements," Long Shuo said deliberately.

Qin Ran was not surprised by this decision.

After the second master hid in the Dragon-Trapping Prison, all matters concerning the Black Emperor Consortium were handled by his four subordinates.

Therefore, Long Shuo and others had the right to dismiss him from his post.

As for going to find the second master, there's no need.

This was originally his responsibility.

So many people died for no reason.

He really shouldn't be in this position anymore.

Qin Ran snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Long Shuo: "I have no objection to your decision. I have enemies everywhere right now, and most people associated with me will likely be targeted by them. At this time, it is the most appropriate time for me to sever ties with the Black Emperor Consortium."

His tone was very calm.

Very composed.

He didn't sound an ounce of displeasure.

Gu Xinrou was somewhat surprised.

Qin Ran readily agreed.

It seems this incident really dealt him a significant blow.

He felt truly sorry for those who had died.

Long Shuo looked at Qin Ran: "Since you have no objections, then it's decided. From today onwards, you are no longer the head of the Xi'an branch of the Black Emperor Consortium."

Qin Ran nodded, indicating his tacit agreement and acceptance.

After the matter was settled, Long Shuo left.

Qin Ran leaned back on the sofa, feeling somewhat depressed.

Gu Xinrou comforted her, "I didn't want things to turn out like this either, but there's nothing I can do. Try to think positively and don't take it to heart."

Qin Ran laughed and said, "I'm not as fragile as you think. On the contrary, I think this arrangement is the best. I know in my heart that I have implicated the Black Emperor Consortium. When I think of those innocent people who died because of me, I still feel very guilty."

"Don't say that. Actually, it's not entirely your fault. To be honest, it's all preordained, it's all fate."

Qin Ran sighed and didn't reply.

Gu Xinrou continued, "I heard that Long Shuo is now in charge of supervising and inspecting the various branches in China, and he will be staying in China from now on."

"It must be because of this incident that headquarters sent a person in charge to China to supervise the work."

"Why don't you tell your second master?"

Qin Ran shook his head: "No need, it was my responsibility to begin with, there's nothing to say."

Gu Xinrou felt that Qin Ran's words made sense.

If he goes to Ye Xiaotian at this time, it will definitely embarrass the other party.

Qin Ran stayed for a while before leaving the Black Emperor Consortium.

When I got home, Fu Xueru was already preparing lunch.

"Senior sister, I can smell the fragrance from far away."

"I haven't cooked in a long time, so I thought I could show off my skills today."

Qin Ran said, "Then I'm in for a treat today."

After Fu Xueru prepared the meal.

The two enjoyed a pleasant lunch.

Qin Ran kept praising Fu Xueru's cooking skills.

"Junior brother, I need to tell you something."

"What's up?"

"We need to speed things up; I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here much longer."

Qin Ran looked at Fu Xueru: "Are you going back to Southern Xinjiang?"

"Yes, I've been in an inland city for a while now."

"Understood, then I'll speed up my cultivation."

Qin Ran could also understand Fu Xueru.

After all, she was the Goddess of War of Southern Xinjiang.

You can't stay in inland cities for too long.
