Dissatisfaction

“Drink up, all of you!”

In a restaurant, Pu Liao was toasting with a few people, his expression extremely carefree.

...

“It’s getting late, and the shop is closing soon. Why don’t we stop here today?” A guard asked with a smile.

“We haven’t even finished drinking yet. How can they close!” Pu Liao turned his head and spat on the ground.

The guards looked at each other, and someone secretly pursed his lips. Although Pu Liao was injured and his movement was hindered, the Zhang family didn’t kill him. Instead, they kept him in Qingzheng Medical Hall.

This was what the rest of Pu Liao’s life looked like, although he had only broken a leg. Though he was still their leader, his reputation was not as great as before.

After an hour, Pu Liao finally had his fill. Trembling, he limped back to his residence alone.

It was late at night, and there were no pedestrians in the county. Pu Liao wasn’t afraid and even snorted.

In the past few days, he had been in a good mood. Even though he had injured his leg, he still couldn’t hide his mood. This kind of binge drinking and eating had already lasted for several days.

“Creak!”

The old door opened with a sound. Pu Liao locked the door and lit a candle. Just as he was about to take a sip of tea on the table, he suddenly saw someone sitting in the corner.

Pu Liao was immediately jolted out of his drunken stupor, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He gripped the long sword in his hand tightly and looked at the figure seriously. It was Chen Fei.

“Why are you here!”

Pu Liao was shocked, but he pretended to be calm as he questioned Chen Fei. His eyes flew left and right, trying to think of a way to escape.

Chen Fei’s sudden appearance here meant that the assassination attempt had failed. Chen Fei was clearly only in the Skin Toughening realm, so how could he be completely fine?

Pu Liao couldn’t understand what was going on, so he had to stabilize Chen Fei first.

“Why did you send someone to kill me? When we met those mountain bandits, I was the one who carried you back.” Chen Fei looked at Pu Liao expressionlessly. This was something that Chen Fei could not figure out.

If there was a grudge between the two of them, the biggest one was the matter of imparting the cultivation technique back then. Could it be that he had to let someone kill him just because of this?

“When did I send someone to kill you?!”

Pu Liao looked at Chen Fei blankly and said, “Who framed me? They’re slandering me!”

“Your mood is too different from usual. Looks like it really is you!”

Chen Fei tightened his grip on his sword and began to walk toward Pu Liao. Since he couldn’t find out the reason, he didn’t want to ask anymore. In this world, there were many things that did not have reasons.

“It has nothing to do with me. Even if you want to kill me, you can’t use such a lousy excuse!”

Pu Liao panicked when he saw Chen Fei approaching. He continued to shout as he retreated, “Back then, I deliberately made things difficult for you when it came to imparting cultivation techniques. I can apologize to you and even set up a few tables at Tallows Court tomorrow and admit my mistake in public.”

“No need.” Chen Fei shook his head.

“If the Zhang family finds out that I was killed, they will definitely open an investigation Everything must be based on evidence. If you have evidence that I’d gotten someone to kill you I’ll gladly die by your sword. However, you’ve just casually found a scapegoat, and I’m not convinced!” Pu Liao shouted in fear.

Chen Fei stopped. Pu Liao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. He was about to speak when a cold light flashed in the dark room.

Pu Liao’s body suddenly stiffened, and a bloody line appeared on his forehead. He looked at Chen Fei, thinking that he had already talked some sense into Chen Fei and could escape this calamity.

“I don’t need evidence.”

Watching Pu Liao die, Chen Fei’s figure flashed and left the room.

A moment later, Chen Fei returned to his rented courtyard.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Chen Fei sighed slightly. He only wanted to cultivate quietly, but this world clearly did not give Chen Fei this opportunity.

The next afternoon, the news of Pu Liao’s death spread throughout the North City Medical Center.

“Could it be those bandits again? It’s only been quiet for a few days, and they’re here again!”

“It’s possible that it’s not. The ones we killed before were all big families. Pu Liao is only a guard, he shouldn’t be targeted.”

“Who knows? Why don’t we stay in the clinic for the time being? There are more people here, so it’s safer.”

In the North City Medical Center, everyone was discussing animatedly. Liu Jun even specially come over to report this matter to Chen Fei.

No one would link Pu Liao’s death to Chen Fei, this Alchemist.

Many people knew that Chen Fei had just broken through to the Skin Toughening realm not long ago. His main focus was on refining pills, and he had no grudges against Pu Liao.

No matter how one looked at it, there was no conflict between the two, and Chen Fei did not have the skills to kill Pu Liao.

Chen Fei refined Vitality Pills as usual, increasing the proficiency of the Qi Rejuvenation Pill. He planned to go to the Black market at night to collect the batch of herbs.

As long as he got the herbs, Chen Fei could refine the Qi Rejuvenation Pill and sell it on the black market.

Although last night’s incident was not dangerous, Chen Fei’s desire for strength continued to increase. Danger could knock on his door at any moment. Only by being strong enough could one avoid it.

As evening approached, Chen Fei was just about to set up the furnace to refine the last batch of Vitality Pills for the day when he was suddenly informed to go to the Zhang family.

Chen Fei was a little surprised. He thought of the Eldest Miss, Zhang Sinan. She might have wanted to ask about Northern City’s medical center or Pu Liao’s death. There was always a shadow of possibility.

After packing up, Chen Fei went to the Zhang family.

With a tall courtyard and a golden roof, and stone walls, the Zhang family’s courtyard appeared majestic. This was Chen Fei’s first time coming to the Zhang family’s residence. He entered through a small door and followed a servant to a side courtyard.

Chen Fei looked up and saw that Zhang Sinan was talking to Zeng Defang.

“Greetings, Eldest Miss, Greetings, Elder Zeng!” Chen Fei stepped forward and cupped his hands.

“Are you used to staying at the North City Medical Center?”

Zhang Sinan turned to look at Chen Fei and sized him up. Compared to the time when he was carrying out disaster relief, the current Chen Fei appeared to be much stronger and more pleasing to the eye.

He was originally dark and skinny, which was unpleasing to the eye. If it weren’t for his alchemy skills, Chen Fei wouldn’t have been able to catch Zhang Sinan’s eye no matter what.

“Thank you for your concern, Eldest Miss. Everything is fine.”

“Did you find anything in the Northern City Medical ?” Zhang Sinan asked calmly.

Zhang Sinan only remembered Chen Fei today after hearing about Pu Liao’s death, as well as the mission she had given Chen Fei. That was why she thought she might as well call Chen Fei over and ask him.

“Steward Sun has total control over the Northern City Medical Center. I rarely have the chance to interact with him,” Chen Fei said honestly.

“Sun Shu is naturally cautious. It’s normal for him to be on guard against Chen Fei’s sudden posting to the Northern City Medical Center.”

Zeng Defang saw Zhang Sinan frown and tried to help Chen Fei.

The truth was that Sun Shu did not trust Chen Fei at all. If Chen Fei hadn’t been practicing alchemy honestly recently and hadn’t interfered in other matters, the Northern City Medical Center wouldn’t be so peaceful now.

“I told you before that if you find any problems, I can give you the pill formula for the Light Spirit Pill. However, if you don’t make any progress on this matter, I might have to let you return to your original place, and the ratio of the pills will also be changed back to the original 30%.”

Zhang Sinan was a little dissatisfied and said with a cold expression, “You better consider your position carefully. If there’s nothing else, you can go back first.”

Zhang Si Nan gave the order for him to leave, obviously dissatisfied with Chen Fei’s performance.
