Another key!
After hanging up the call, Bai Zihe immediately made arrangements.
"Second Senior Sister, Long Qinglian."
"You two prepare for this ancient martial arts conference. Select skilled fighters and strive for more benefits."
Ji Xueyun casually asked, "Little Junior Brother, what about you?"
She had only vaguely heard the voice of Fifth Senior Sister Yue Rushuang on the other end of the phone and didn't know what was said.
Bai Zihe chuckled softly, "Fifth Senior Sister just told me there's another clue about the key. I need to go over there right away."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xueyun frowned slightly.
She looked up and asked, "Little Junior Brother, could it be... a trap?"
Bai Zihe was taken aback.
Second Senior Sister certainly didn't think Yue Rushuang would trap them.
She was worried that someone would exploit this, feed Fifth Senior Sister false clues, and lure Bai Zihe away to achieve some unspeakable goal.
She had fallen into Shi Long's trap this way before.
Bai Zihe pondered for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be."
"Since the Zhou family has invited us to participate in the ancient martial arts conference, they must intend to make a move on this."
"Even if the Miao疆蛊师 get the news, they won't arrive that quickly."
Ji Xueyun thought about it and seemed to agree.
So she said, "Then hurry back, Little Junior Brother. We'll inform you immediately if there are any developments here."
Bai Zihe nodded in agreement, "I'll be back before the ancient martial arts conference."
After making his arrangements, Bai Zihe arrived at the headquarters of the Xuan Tian Pavilion.
"Little Junior Brother."
"You're finally here."
Yue Rushuang had a smile on her face, looking quite pleased.
They walked inside, chatting as they went.
Bai Zihe chuckled, "Fifth Senior Sister requested my presence, how could I dare not come!"
"Stop joking!"
Yue Rushuang playfully chided him and asked, "How is it, have you found any leads on the keys from the Zhou and Xu families?"
Bai Zihe sighed and briefly explained about the Zhou family and the ancient martial arts conference.
After listening, Yue Rushuang's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, "So, Little Junior Brother, you plan to attend this ancient martial arts conference?"
"Mm."
Bai Zihe nodded and said seriously, "The ancient martial arts conference involves the distribution of interests in Jiangdong Province for the next few years, and it will allow me to interact with the Zhou and Xu families. I must go."
Yue Rushuang's expression grew more solemn, and she cautioned, "Little Junior Brother, since you've decided to go, I won't try to dissuade you further."
"Zhou Batian, that person..."
"Was also a formidable figure in his day."
"He had high talent, ruthless methods, and was an undisputed power in Jiangdong Province."
"Moreover, he has been a Grandmaster for a long time. His strength may have further improved since his reclusion. You must be careful."
Fearing her worry, Bai Zihe went along with her, "Fifth Senior Sister, don't worry, I know."
As they spoke, they had already entered the room.
Yue Rushuang handed Bai Zihe an address. "This key is in the hands of a military officer."
"His daughter has a terminal illness."
"If you can cure his daughter, this key might be obtainable."
Curing illness.
This was Bai Zihe's specialty.
Bai Zihe immediately laughed, "Then it should be almost certain. However, Fifth Senior Sister, you need to introduce me first."
Yue Rushuang also smiled.
She immediately called the officer and explained their purpose.
The military officer's name was Liu Chengbai.
When Liu Chengbai heard from Yue Rushuang that she had found a divine doctor, he was naturally very willing to receive them and arranged for Bai Zihe to visit tomorrow for treatment.
The next day.
Bai Zihe arrived at Liu Chengbai's home as scheduled.
A guard was waiting at the door. After confirming Bai Zihe's identity, he immediately led him into the living room.
Upon seeing Bai Zihe, Liu Chengbai immediately stood up.
He was tall and robust.
His brows revealed an aura of iron-blooded battle intent, clearly indicating someone who had been through many battles.
However, this iron-blooded man wore a visible look of worry.
Bai Zihe walked forward neither servile nor overbearing, "General Liu, hello."
Liu Chengbai scrutinized Bai Zihe, his eyes dimming slightly, "Are you the divine doctor Sister Yue mentioned?"
Bai Zihe was too young.
He was far from the image of a divine doctor Liu Chengbai had in mind.
Moreover...
He had come to treat his daughter, but he hadn't brought anything. No assistants, not even a medicine chest.
Liu Chengbai even doubted if he was a doctor.
Bai Zihe saw this but didn't point it out, saying humbly, "I wouldn't dare claim to be a divine doctor. Let me see your daughter first."
Liu Chengbai's doubts grew.
If an older doctor had said this, he would have certainly thought the person was being humble.
But for Bai Zihe to say this...
It gave him a feeling of affectation.
"Follow me."
His initial expectations for Bai Zihe had diminished, but out of trust for Yue Rushuang, he still led Bai Zihe upstairs.
His daughter was named Liu Jiaojiao and lived on the third floor of the villa.
"My daughter..."
"She has been to the hospital for many examinations."
"The hospital's diagnosis was severe depression."
Since he had decided to let Bai Zihe try, Liu Chengbai still spoke about his daughter's condition.
"She doesn't eat much normally, and barely talks."
"She just sits there blankly, and sometimes she suddenly starts crying..."
