Starting from the pharmacy, he grew into a martial saint among men.

"Chief Zhou, what's wrong? Could it be that Brother Wei He has arrived?"

But then Chu Hong thought again, if he really was Wei He's older brother, Chief Zhou shouldn't have had the chance to come looking for him.

Wednesday, Zhou He shook his head and waved his hands, hurriedly saying no.

He was panting and said in a low voice, "It's about the Dawei Escort Agency. Old Master Shi is in trouble!"

Something happened?!

Chu Hong was puzzled. He had seen Shi Potian just half a month ago, and he didn't seem to have anything wrong with him.

Seeing Zhou Sanhe's solemn expression, Chu Hong's heart sank, and he grabbed Zhou Sanhe's arm:

"What happened?"

"Brother Chu, don't panic. Actually, Old Master Shi was already seriously injured."

Zhou Sanhe told Chu Hong that Shi Potian had been injured as early as the time he delivered the goods to Huang'an County.

However, after he returned, he secretly continued to heal his wounds.

I don't know what methods they used, but they managed to keep it a secret so well that no one found out.

But last night, he suddenly collapsed.

Chu Hong recalled that half a month ago, Shi Potian had coughed a few times occasionally while speaking.

At the time, I thought he was just too excited, but now I wonder if he had already damaged his heart.

A thought suddenly struck him, and he remembered that Shi Potian had been pushed out the door by the Shi family that day.

this......

It seems there were signs all along, but no one noticed them.

Chu Hong remained silent, then reached for the porcelain bottle at his waist.

"Let's go to Dawei Escort Agency!"

Dawei Escort Agency.

The place is still bustling, but the way it's bustling is completely different from usual.

In the past, when Chu Hong arrived, the bodyguards here would be all smiles, ready to set off on their mission.

But today, a fighting arena has been erected in front of the security escort agency.

On the arena, a man dressed in tight-fitting clothes clasped his hands in a fist salute to those around him and shouted loudly:

"Without the Transformation Realm expert, the Dawei Escort Agency is just a piece of fat meat that anyone can eat, and the escort route will definitely be fraught with danger."

"Everyone must choose, you absolutely must choose our Tianshui Escort Agency."

"Our Tianshui Escort Agency has joined forces with the Hong Family Martial Arts School..."

The man enthusiastically promoted the Tianshui Escort Agency, generously scattering a large handful of copper coins, which caused a commotion and scramble among the onlookers.

They verbally insisted on visiting the Tianshui Escort Agency, creating a lively and bustling scene.

Chu Hong frowned upon seeing this scene.

The news was only revealed by Dawei Escort Agency last night.

The Tianshui Escort Agency came to our door today?

That's too fast.

No wonder the Pavilion Master said he would soon have dealings with the Tianshui Escort Agency.

It turns out they already knew about the incident at Dawei Escort Agency.

In fact, when Chu Hong chose to take up a temporary post, he also considered going to the Tianshui Escort Agency.

However, the Tianshui Escort Agency lacked a master of the Transformation Realm to oversee it, and its escorts numbered only twenty or thirty, with just three routes available for transporting goods.

The monthly salary was low, the profit from escorting goods was low, and most importantly, there was no opportunity to hone one's martial arts skills, so it was excluded.

But now, they are openly fighting in front of the Dawei Escort Agency, which is quite unexpected.

Chu Hong strode into the escort agency.

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the escort agency was oppressive.

Shi Lin, his face full of sorrow, tried his best to persuade the departing bodyguards to stay.

However, most of the bodyguards were determined to leave Dawei Escort Agency.

Left with no other option, Shi Lin had to go through the contract termination procedures with them.

Chu Hong listened intently for a moment and understood the reason.

Just as Tianshui Escort Agency said, without the support of a master craftsman, the danger of escorting goods will be greatly increased.

Now that the Tianshui Escort Agency has the support of the Hong Family Martial Arts School's Huajin level, and the monthly salary is higher, they naturally want to go to a better place.

Although some bodyguards remained steadfast and did not leave.

However, the overall strength of the escort agency declined significantly as a result.

Zhou Sanhe was about to yell at Chu Hong for being disloyal, but Chu Hong raised his hand to stop him from making a sound.

Unlike gangsters, most bodyguards are driven by profit. Now that the journey is more dangerous and their monthly salary is not as good as that of the Tianshui Escort Agency, they will naturally leave.

The escort agency quickly returned to its quiet state, and only then did Shi Lin, with red eyes, notice Chu Hong.

"Brother Chu, when did you arrive? I'm sorry, I was too busy just now."

"Brother Shilin, how is Senior Shi now?" Chu Hong waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.

Shi Lin lowered his head slightly, and his voice also softened:

"The situation is not good. After examining my father last night, the doctor said that there was no hope of saving him and that he would not live much longer."

"Then what are we waiting for? Take me to see Senior Shi." Chu Hong grabbed Shi Lin and strode inside.

The group quickly went into the inner room.

As soon as Chu Hong entered, he smelled a strong medicinal odor.

On the bed, Shi Potian's face was ashen, his breath was barely a thread, and even opening his eyes was extremely difficult.

An old woman was sitting by the bed, carefully feeding the patient medicine spoonful by spoonful from a bowl.

"Father, Brother Chu is here," Shi Lin called softly.

Chu Hong stepped forward and touched Shi Potian's cold hand: "Senior Shi."

Upon hearing that someone had arrived, Shi Potian seemed to regain some of his spirits.

He forced his eyes open, his bewildered gaze falling on Chu Hong.

"Little Sanzi..."

He mistook Chu Hong for Shi Yi and called out to him softly.

Just as Chu Hong was about to respond, he saw Shi Potian close his eyes again, as if he had exhausted all his energy.

Without hesitation, Chu Hong took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it to Shi Lin.

"Brother Shilin, this is a life-saving pill bestowed upon me by my master. As long as I have a breath left, even the most severe injuries can be healed."

"Quickly give it to Senior Shi."

Shi Lin trembled and hurriedly waved his hand in refusal:

"Brother Chu, this is far too precious. It's a life-saving item bestowed upon you by your master; we cannot take it!"

Chu Hong handed the porcelain bottle back to me: "Brother Shi Lin, since Master bestowed it upon me, this elixir is mine."

"How I decide what to do with it is my choice. Take it quickly, Senior Shi needs it."

Chu Hong's idea was simple.

Back then, Shi Yi risked his life to save him.

He should now give back to the Shi family. A single pill is nothing compared to life.

However, Shi Lin still refused to accept it.

Chu Hong said no more and did not get entangled with Shi Lin. He went straight forward and stuffed the pill into Shi Potian's mouth.

In fact, his actions were considered transgressions in this era.

As a guest and not a doctor, he privately fed the host's patient medicine without permission.

If something goes wrong, you will bear heavy responsibility and may even be held accountable.

But Chu Hong didn't care about that right now.

As long as Shi Potian can recover, the Shi family will probably not blame him for this overstepping of his bounds.

Shi Lin was about to stop him, but saw that the pill had already slipped into his father's mouth, so he had no choice but to step back and sigh.

Chu Hong watched the changes in Shi Potian's expression.

He did not use the pills left by the girl in green, because those pills were only effective against martial artists below the Transformation Realm.

If a martial artist at or above the Transformation Realm takes it, the effect will be greatly reduced.

The pills melt instantly upon entering the mouth and are very effective.

In just a short while, Chu Hong saw that Shi Potian's complexion had become rosy.

Steam began to rise from his body.

"Hmm~"

Shi Potian, who had been in a daze, suddenly woke up and vomited a pool of black substance.

Chu Hong was startled by this.

But upon closer inspection, what appeared to be vomited up were pieces of rotten internal organs and clotted blood, which calmed him down a little.

Before long, Shi Potian's spirits improved rapidly.

He opened his eyes, scanned everyone in the room, and finally fixed his gaze on Chu Hong:

"Hey, Brother Chu, when did you get here?"

Although the voice was still somewhat weak, every word was clearly audible.

"Father, your injury is healed?" Shi Lin knelt down on the ground with a thud, his face full of joy.

"Huh," Shi Potian thought to himself, sensing the changes in his body, and looked surprised. "Second brother, what did you feed me?"

"My injuries have actually healed completely, even the old bruises are gone."

Shi Potian stretched out his arm and clenched his fist, feeling the return of his power.

Shi Lin hurriedly explained, "Father, it's Brother Chu. Brother Chu gave you the life-saving pill bestowed upon him by his master."
