Ye Xing ignored her and instead reached out and casually put his arm around Liao Zhong's shoulder, leading him a few steps deeper into the woods.

After confirming that Chen Duo couldn't hear him, Ye Xing's nonchalant attitude softened somewhat.

"Mr. Liao, do you want Chen Duo to become normal again?"

Liao Zhong looked wary: "What do you mean?"

Ye Xing lowered his voice, his tone calm yet as powerful as thunder.

"I can cure her."

Liao Zhong was jolted, his pupils dilating suddenly.

'Detected extreme shock and suspicion in Liao Zhong, triggering a critical hit, emotion value +100.'

"Mr. Ye, this is no joke!"

Liao Zhong's breathing became heavy. "I know you cured Old Tian at Longhu Mountain, but Chen Duo's situation is completely different! Her Gu poison has long since invaded her internal organs and limbs, which is not the same as a severed limb!"

Ye Xing was not annoyed by Liao Zhong's questioning, but instead spoke casually.

"Mr. Liao, haven't you been keeping up with the news from Northeast China these past few days?"

Liao Zhong was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"You're such a narrow-minded person as the head of the South China region."

Ye Xing patted him on the shoulder, "Gao Lian's second daughter has been cured by me."

Liao Zhong gasped, his brain completely shutting down.

The heads of all the districts are well aware of the situation of Gao's second son; it's quite serious.

Cured?

"You..." Liao Zhong stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"I've delivered the message; believe it or not is up to you."

Ye Xing released his grip and turned to leave.

"Go back and think it over carefully. Do you want her to continue being a ticking time bomb, or do you want her to be an ordinary, normal girl?"

Liao Zhong stood there, stunned and confused.

Ye Xing's words precisely struck the softest and most painful hidden corner of his heart.

a long time.

Liao Zhong took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions, and, carrying the half-dead Qian Li, beckoned Chen Duo to leave.

Chen Duo hadn't walked far when she suddenly stopped.

She turned around and waved gently in Ye Xing's direction.

"Goodbye."

Seeing this, Liao Zhong's expression became even more complicated, like a spilled palette of colors, a fascinating mix.

Once the two people had completely disappeared from sight, Ye Xing walked back to the pile of messy plastic parts.

Zhu Zhuqing's remains were still in that position, with white debris scattered around her.

Although it only lived for a few tens of minutes, the vitality brought by the rat talisman was truly astonishing.

Ye Xing squatted down, placed his palm on the mangled body, and his mind raced.

The rat-shaped spell power remaining in the parts was instantly extracted.

The skin, which originally had a slight sheen, immediately became dull and turned back into cold, hard silicone.

Ye Xing sighed, and a ball of dragon talisman flame shot out from his palm, completely burning the expensive pile of waste materials to ashes.

After destroying the evidence, he dusted himself off and left, returning to his guesthouse.

Lying on the soft, large bed in the guest room, Ye Xing put his hands behind his head and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Although today's test was interrupted, it was still quite fruitful.

Ye Xing thought to himself, "I only injected a small amount of rat talisman power just now, and the effect is already so exaggerated."

If more power is injected, will its power increase?

More importantly, the living creation possesses a completely independent consciousness and is not under the control of its creator.

What if, while infusing the power of the Rat Talisman, you simultaneously divert your attention to control it using the power of the Sheep Talisman?

"The considerations were not rigorous or comprehensive enough."

Ye Xing rolled over and buried his face in the pillow. "Forget it, I'll study it slowly later. I don't even have any materials right now."

After a morning of running around, he was exhausted and simply closed his eyes to rest.

......

Have you not heard that time flies like an arrow, passing in the blink of an eye?

Two months later.

A long-established teahouse in Guangdong.

The morning sunlight streamed through the blinds onto the wooden square table, surrounded by diners chatting and laughing loudly in the local dialect.

An older woman pushing a snack cart moved back and forth in the aisle with a loud voice.

Ye Xing sat by the window, picked up a crystal-clear shrimp dumpling with his chopsticks, and was just about to put it in his mouth.

The phone on the table vibrated.

Caller ID: Liao Zhong, South China Region

Ye Xing put down his chopsticks, wiped his hands, and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Mr. Liao."

Liao Zhong's slightly dry and hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Ye, do you have time? I'd like to invite you to the South China branch so we can talk."

Chapter 63 She also wanted to exercise her rights as a human being.

Two o'clock in the afternoon, in a standalone office building in Baiyun District, Guangzhou.

Ye Xing pushed open the door to the office of the head of the South China region.

The main lights weren't on inside, the blinds were half-closed, making the room dimly lit, and the air was filled with a strong smell of secondhand smoke.

Liao Zhong sat behind his messy desk, his already somewhat fierce face now filled with dejection, and his eyes revealing deep weariness.

Besides Liao Zhong, a middle-aged man was sitting on the single sofa next to him.

This person had a very high hairline, was balding on the top of his head, wore thick-rimmed glasses, and a cheap gray jacket.

The man exuded a timid and uneasy aura. When Ye Xing entered the room, he was nervously rubbing his hands together.

Ye Xing went through the image in his mind and quickly matched it with the person in his memory.

Old Meng, a temporary worker in the Northwest Region, is a beastly teacher.

"Old Liao, you sound so urgent on the phone, what's wrong?"

Ye Xing casually pulled over a chair and was about to sit down.

Liao Zhong managed to squeeze out a few words: "Chen Duo is missing."

Ye Xing's heart skipped a beat, and he paused as he was about to sit down.

Gone?

In the original storyline, this event was supposed to happen at the end of the year, so why is Ma Xianhong acting so quickly? The timeline has actually been moved forward.

Ye Xing quickly collected his thoughts, spread his hands, and asked in return.

"She's just a temporary worker at your company. Why didn't you go look for her when she's missing? Why did you call me here?"

Liao Zhong stubbed out his cigarette and sighed.

"I called you here for two things."

"A few days ago in the woods, you said you could cure her, is that true? If so, I would like to ask you to help."

"The second thing is that I'd like to hear your opinion on Chen Duo."

"Last time in the woods, when you asked her to decide how to handle the compensation, her reaction, her expression..."

Liao Zhong's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly. "I've been with her for so many years, and I've never seen her like that before. You seem to know her very well. Could this be related to her disappearance?"

Liao Zhong paused for a moment and pointed to Lao Meng next to him.

"This is Lao Meng. He was the one who led the team to rescue Chen Duo from that awful place called the Medicine Immortal Society back then."

Old Meng quickly stood up, bowed to Ye Xing, and stammered, "Mr. Ye, hello, I've heard so much about you."

Ye Xing smiled and waved his hand, then continued to look at Liao Zhong.

Liao Zhong lit another cigarette and took a deep drag.

Ye Xing burst out laughing.

"First of all, I can cure Chen Duo, but Lao Liao, don't you find what you're saying ridiculous?"

"Your company's employees, your own subordinates, come to ask me, a stranger you've only met once and exchanged less than two words with?"

Liao Zhong's face stiffened after being rebuked, then he shook his head with a wry smile. Old Meng, who was standing to the side, offered to help Ye Xing.

"alright."

Ye Xing leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and pretended to be thinking.

"Since you want me to give you advice, you have to let me find out the details first. Tell me, what exactly did this girl go through in the past, and how did you treat her?"

Liao Zhong sighed and began to tell his story.

From being captured by the Medicine Immortal Society to be trained in Gu poison, the forty-nine Gu children killed each other, until only Chen Duo survived in the end.

Then, when Lao Meng led the team to destroy the Medicine Fairy Society and sent her to a place to settle down, Lao Meng would occasionally add a few words from the side.
