Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

"Oh, right..."

Xu Yi stood up, walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a sandalwood box.

He opened it, glanced at it, and pushed it in front of Chu Nan.

"This is the house we promised you before; the paperwork was just completed today."

Xu Yi smiled and said, "The detached house halfway up the mountain in Yaotai Community is right next to Xia's house."

Chu Nan took the box, flipped out the property ownership certificate, and glanced at it.

The villa is indeed right next to Xia Wantang's, and further east is Jiang Yingxue's villa.

The three buildings are in a row, with Xia Wantang in the middle and Chu Nan on the far west.

Chu Nan never expected that Xu Yi would give him such an expensive villa.

It's worth noting that the villas halfway up Yaotai Mountain are known as part of the billion-dollar club.

This shows that Xu Yi really went to great lengths to thank him.

Moreover, the intention behind deliberately choosing this location is quite obvious.

"Uncle Xu, this is too valuable."

Chu Nan wasn't just being polite. First of all, the value of the house had indeed exceeded expectations, and secondly... he knew that Xu Yi meant well and wanted him to have more contact with Xia Wantang.

But the problem is, Jiang Yingxue is still around!

Lately, I've been having dreams every night where I have to make choices.

There were no clues before, but now it seems that it will most likely be a choice between the two.

Once you make a choice, you might only be able to do "that" with one of them.

This is not the situation Chu Nan wants to see.

After all, as adults, we want it all!

Although there are currently no clues about whether the second lotus bud on the Dui position will bloom, Chu Nan does not want to lock down his choice just like that.

"Don't be so polite with me. You've saved Xiao Ran so many times. If she weren't just a child at heart, and if you weren't already being targeted by that girl Xia, I would have already given the entire Xu family business as dowry and let Xiao Ran marry you!"

Xu Yi wasn't just being polite; from both a business perspective and a sense of gratitude, having Chu Nan as his son-in-law was undoubtedly the best choice.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world. At present, it's already a miracle that Xiao Ran's life has been saved.

Since Xu Yi had said that, how could Chu Nan refuse?

"The key is inside, and everything is ready. You can move in right away with just your bags."

Xu Yi patted Chu Nan on the shoulder, "Little Chu, I owe you so much, it can't be calculated with just one house..."

"Uncle Xu, you're too kind. Actually, things have progressed to the point where we're no longer just business partners. You're like an elder to me, and Xiao Ran is like a younger sister. When helping family, there's no need to be so formal."

Chu Nan initially made contact with Xu Yi solely to help Xia Wantang obtain assistance.

Long before Xu Yi agreed to help and stepped forward time and time again, this relationship became more than just a matter of mutual benefit.

Xu Yi smiled but didn't say anything. Chu Nan could pretend that nothing had happened, but he couldn't.

Since their trip to the mainland, neither side has had a proper rest. Chu Nan also noticed that after everything was temporarily resolved, Xu Yi finally had a chance to relax and rest.

Therefore, he did not stay at the Xu family's house for long. After giving a few more instructions, he left.

By the time I returned to Yaotai Residential Area, it was already bright daylight.

People doing their morning exercise appeared in twos and threes on the mountain path, and the distant sea shimmered with tiny golden lights.

He didn't go back to the clinic, but went straight to the villa on the hillside.

Having already stayed in the villas of Jiang Yingxue and Xia Wantang, Chu Nan wasn't particularly affected by his new villa.

However, compared to the couple's villa, this villa is decorated in a modern Chinese style, with white walls and gray tiles, and the style of the front and back yards is also completely modern Chinese.

Chu Nan wandered around for a bit, getting a general idea of ​​the area, and then found a room to sleep in.

Meanwhile, the people on the other side of the mirage had already begun their operation...

Just as dawn was breaking, a group of people dressed in gray robes appeared at the scene where Chu Nan had killed Li Guanqi.

There were four of them, all wearing gray-white robes with very faint water patterns embroidered on the cuffs, and each wearing a jade bracelet on their wrist.

The leader was a man in his early thirties, with an ordinary face, the kind you wouldn't notice in a crowd.

He stood at the alleyway where Li Guanqi had last disappeared, his eyes closed, as if sensing something.

The remaining three disciples dispersed, seemingly conducting some kind of reconnaissance.

One of the disciples stood up and shook his head at the leader, "There are no obvious signs of a fight, and there are no burn marks from true energy on the ground or walls."

The leading man didn't open his eyes, only humming in response.

He had anticipated this situation. The young master was skilled in illusion killing techniques. If he really wanted to take action, he would definitely pull the person into the illusion first and resolve the matter there.

The surrounding real-world scene will not leave much of a trace.

But when a person dies, there should always be something left behind.

He walked deep into the alley and stopped by a wall.

The fog here is thicker than outside. Even though the sun has come out, the area at the base of the wall seems to never see the light.

He turned his head and winked at one of his disciples.

The disciple immediately understood, squatted down, and placed his right palm on the ground. He held a jade bracelet in his palm, and the bracelet was pressed against the ground. The gray mist inside the bracelet slowly flowed.

This is the "Fog Tracing" secret technique of the Mirage, specifically used to track down the scene.

Everything left behind by the illusion cannot escape the fog's perception.

But as soon as his palm touched her, he felt as if he had been burned and quickly pulled back.

The gray mist inside the bracelet churned wildly, as if stirred up by something, becoming completely chaotic.

Looking down, I noticed several tiny red dots on my palm, as if they had been burned by something unseen, and were emitting very fine wisps of blue smoke.

"What's going on?!"

The disciples nearby saw this and wanted to come over.

"Backlash?"

The leading disciple frowned slightly; in his view, this was almost impossible. "I'll do it myself."

He took off the jade bracelet and placed it directly on the ground. He pressed his hand against the bracelet and channeled his inner energy down into it, activating the Mist Flow.

Then... he was flung away.

After landing, he knelt on one knee, his back hunched, panting heavily.

A metallic, sweet taste rose in my throat, and I had to force myself not to vomit.

Sweat poured from his forehead as if it were being steamed out, layer upon layer.

The three disciples were completely dumbfounded. "Senior brother, what's going on?!"

It's normal for a novice disciple to suffer a backlash because their strength is insufficient.

But this time, the leader of the operation is someone who ranks highly among the second-generation disciples of Mirage Tower, and whose Mist Tracing Technique has never failed.

The leading disciple, panting for a while, finally managed to stand up, leaning against the wall. His eyes still held lingering horror, and his lips were frighteningly white. "Their methods are rather strange."

"A connection? He's a warlock too?"

"have no idea."

He said frankly, "But what could cause me to suffer a backlash is definitely not simple, and I didn't feel any trace of calligraphy. It was more like I was burned by the essence of true qi."

Upon hearing this, the other three fell silent.

It should be noted that, regardless of whether one is a martial artist or a sorcerer, true qi has no attributes.

True Qi possesses attributes, and only a Grandmaster can achieve this!
