Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Seeing Cheng Xiao's rapidly changing expression, Yunhua quickly asked:

What do you think?

"How should I see it? I'll stand here and see!"

Cheng Xiao said irritably:

"Is this what you meant by 'something's not right'? Highly suspicious?"

Yunhua asked in confusion:

"Is this normal? Look at the medic and his assistant! They might be in cahoots!"

"And aren't the numerous transactions involving elixirs with pharmaceutical merchants also aimed at raising funds for the establishment of the Medicine King's Secret School?"

Cheng Xiao frowned. How did Yun Hua come to this conclusion? Paranoia, perhaps!

"Well, since you put it that way, let's go take a look. Maybe we can really catch a big fish."

Yunhua clapped her hands happily: "That's great! I knew you'd support me! My uncle even said I was overthinking it! How could that be!"

Cheng Xiao instantly regretted it. If he had known that his predecessor, Si Dingyun Shu, had denied it, he should have denied it too.

The two then went to the home of the physician Yu Shao. Yun Hua had little fighting ability, so she stayed behind Cheng Xiao the whole time.

"What are you afraid of? Go knock on the door. Don't worry, even if this building explodes on the spot, I can still protect you."

"Really...really?"

"If you're still hesitating, just tell me if you're going or not!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go, you have to protect me!"

Yunhua cautiously approached the door and gently knocked.

"Hello! I'm here to check your water meter!"

Then a man's voice came from inside the room: "Just leave the takeout at the door!"

"I'm not here to order takeout, I'm here to check the water meter!"

Cheng Xiao covered his face; he simply couldn't bear to watch any longer.

After a while, the sound of slippers approaching slowly came, followed by the man's cursing voice from inside the house:

"Checking the water meter! I just paid the water bill two days ago! Why are you checking the water meter?!"

Then the door opened, and a man with extremely dark circles under his eyes appeared in front of me.

Yunhua and Chengxiao were both startled.

"Yushao?! What happened to you?!"

"Lord Siding? What brings you to my house?"

Yu Shao was a little confused, then quickly opened the door and invited:

"Please come in! Please come in! Oh my! Mr. Cheng Xiao has come too, it truly honors my humble abode!"

Yunhua and Chengxiao exchanged a glance and slowly walked into the dark rented room.

Turning on the main light reveals a simply decorated living room, devoid of any unusual features, even bordering on the simplistic.

Yunhua asked, following the pre-rehearsed script:

"I noticed that you and your medical assistant Qiao Geng haven't been to work for a while, so I came to visit you."

After saying that, Cheng Xiao placed the milk in his hand on the coffee table.

"Oh my! Lord Si Ding, you're too kind! I'm truly flattered!"

Yu Shao scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "Actually, it's nothing serious. It's a little embarrassing to say, but I was playing games with Qiao Geng."

Yunhua & Chengxiao: "?"

"I can't explain it clearly, come to my room!"

Upon entering the room, it was much dirtier and messier, with takeout boxes and packaging bags that hadn't been cleaned properly.

A flat-screen TV was open; it was like a computer, and a game was still going on on it.

Yu Shao turned on the hands-free mode of her headphones, activating both the earpiece and microphone.

"Qiao Geng! Lord Si Ding's visit to my home to express his condolences is truly touching!"

Then Qiao Geng's voice came: "What? How come you're so lucky! I'm not convinced! Lord Si Ding should be coming to my house later too!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, Lord Siding is right next to me! And Mr. Chengxiao too!"

Then Yu Shao gave her seat to Yun Hua: "Come, come, Lord Si Ding, you chat with him and try out this new game! It's super fun! Qiao Geng and I are challenging ourselves to complete it in five days as a team!"

Yunhua was completely bewildered when she was put into the game and began controlling her character under Yushao's guidance.

Cheng Xiao had already realized that these were just two internet-addicted teenagers, not some traitor from the Medicine King's secret lineage.

After watching Yunhua play for a while, Chengxiao and Yushao realized that his skills were really bad, and they both started to complain.

"Lord Siding, this is really... how about I take over?"

Cheng Xiao: "I'd like to try it too."

Yunhua: "Bullshit! I don't believe it! Don't worry! Watch me familiarize myself with it; I'll definitely beat this boss!"

What followed was the story of two people guiding one person to become a virgin.

On his way to find the third suspect, Yunhua was still engrossed in the game.

"Damn it! I was so close! That boss's attack speed and slowness were ridiculous! Who designed this?! As one of the Six Emperors, I have to report him!"

Cheng Xiao was suppressing a laugh. He had been trying to defeat a newbie boss for over fifty times and was completely exhausted.

"Let's go to the medical market; they'll be closing up shop by the time it gets late."

"Good! This time it must be an inside man!"

Arriving at the medical market, it was bustling with activity, as most of the people there were from outside the region, seeking medicine and medical advice.

However, only authorized medicine seekers can come here to purchase spiritual herbs, and medicine merchants who purchase pills must also have a business certificate issued by the immortal ship.

This is not a black market; all illegal transactions are strictly prohibited.

However, Cheng Xiao understood that the Immortal Ship did not provide space for black market transactions, so the Medical Market had a hidden black market.

Once you can find Fuzhi selling prohibited drugs or medicinal herbs, you can basically follow the trail to find the rest.

However, the biggest problem right now is that hothead Yunhua!

Cheng Xiao looked at the unsuspecting Yun Hua and shook his head helplessly.

As the current Si Ding, Yun Hua's face is known to everyone in this medical market.

He's looking for people so openly, it's like he's carrying a light bulb in the dark, as if he's afraid no one will know.

"Yunhua, we'll split into two groups. You provide cover for me."

Yunhua, still enjoying the market, was momentarily dazed:

"Huh? Cheng Xiao? What do you mean by 'covering the way'? How am I supposed to do that?! Where is everyone?"

Yunhua looked around, but Chengxiao had already disappeared.

Meanwhile, Cheng Xiao, who had already concealed himself with the [Snake] talisman, silently thought to himself:

You're standing here, providing cover for me.

Holding Fuzhi's photo, Cheng Xiao took out a reagent and dropped a drop of green liquid onto the photo.

"This spell will help me find the person in the photo, go for it!"

The photo in my hand also turned into a paper airplane, which flew away into the distance on its own without any wind.

He immediately rode off in pursuit.

Cheng Xiao only put the paper airplane away when it reached the corner of an alley.

A group of people were whispering in the alley, clearly engaged in some kind of transaction.

But Cheng Xiao heard it very clearly:

"Please! I've already sold you the pills at a 90% discount! Just sell me this herb instead!"

"Hahaha, that's not enough! How much did you sell it to us for? How could we possibly give it to you so easily?"

"I can continue to sell it to you at a 90% discount! But I really need it urgently right now! My daughter still needs the medicine made from this herb to save her life!"

"Aren't you immortals from the Celestial Ships? Why do you need elixirs to save your lives? Just let her recover on her own!"

"Immortality and longevity are two different things! Some diseases still require medication!"

"I still can't give it to you! Even if I did, how could a level two alchemist like you refine it? It would just be a waste of such good medicinal herbs!"

"I can beg Lord Si Ding for help! Please, please give it to me!"

"Hahaha! We'll talk about that later! If you can bring us five hundred Rejuvenation Pills tomorrow, I'll give them to you!"

"Are you kidding me! Five hundred coins! You broke your promise! You clearly said you'd give them to me today!"

"Hahaha! Who told us to be bad!"

"You! I'm reporting you to the Imperial Shipyard; you're smugglers, and your goods will be seized!"

"What?! You old bastard, do you want to die?!"

Cheng Xiao couldn't stand it anymore. He picked up a pebble, weighed it in his hand, and then used the power of the [Ox] talisman to throw it!

The arrogant medicine merchant was struck as if by lightning, and was sent flying backward as if hit by a starship.

"Fuzhi, why didn't you tell us about your daughter sooner?"

Cheng Xiao's figure appeared, staring at the disheveled Dan Shifuzhi.
