Chapter 520: [393] Cultivation Breakthrough! Attribute Points Surpass Another Level! (Seeking Monthly Votes and Recommendations)_1

Harbor City was in quite an uproar.

But for Pei Jinye, it was inconsequential.

Foll𝑜w current novels on fɾēewebnσveℓ.com.

He had killed many people.

A few more didn’t make a difference.

Jiang Xinrun had abducted a doctor from the black market, but since Pei Jinye had good intentions, after he had the doctor concoct the medicinal soup, he didn’t kill him but kept him at his side, waiting to decide his fate once they left.

Qi Zhonglu was fed the medicinal soup.

The sturdy man stood guard nearby and soon fell into deep sleep… After fighting for an entire day, not just him, but also Jiang Xinrun and the others were utterly exhausted.

Currently, Qi Zhonglu still laid unconscious, the black patterns on his face had noticeably faded.

Even though there were no signs of awakening.

But at least it proved that the prescription Qi Zhonglu gave before losing consciousness was correct.

In the dimly lit room.

The moonlight spilled in through the windows, enveloping everything.

Pei Jinye silently gazed at Qi Zhonglu.

This man’s transcendence…

“Forget it.”

A breeze swept through.

As if having a nightmare, Qi Zhonglu suddenly opened his eyes, and saw no one else except the dozy sturdy man before him.

A drop of cold sweat silently rolled down…

It was at this moment that Jiang Xinrun appeared with hot water. Their eyes met, and he was surprised, “You’re awake?”

“Thank you,” Qi Zhonglu smelt the aroma of medicinal herbs. He clearly realized his current condition.

“Do you feel a bit better?” Jiang Xinrun put down the basin of water.

“My body feels a bit weak, and I’m feeling nauseous…” Qi Zhonglu felt a bit dizzy as he looked around, “What time is it now?”

“Don’t worry, you’ve only been asleep for a little over four hours.” As Jiang Xinrun spoke, the sturdy man finally woke up, his face beaming with joy as he looked at Qi Zhonglu, “Boss, you’re awake!!”

“Keep your voice down,” Qi Zhonglu sighed and looked at Jiang Xinrun, “I’m sorry, I didn’t expect this would happen… What about Elder Jiang…”

“The Family Head knows. It was his arranged help that got us out,” Jiang Xinrun came over with a bottle of pills, “These are blood replenishing Dan Medicine. Swallow one now, and then another after six hours.”

“Thanks,” Qi Zhonglu did not hesitate and immediately swallowed a blood-replenishing pill.

If the Jiang family wanted to kill him, they wouldn’t have gone to great lengths to save him.

“Given the state I’m in now…”

He looked over with a wry smile.

Jiang Xinrun shook his head, “Don’t overthink it. The city has been sealed off, and we can’t leave anyway. Just focus on recovering.”

“Sealed off?” Qi Zhonglu was taken aback.

He hadn’t thought much about it.

He had assumed that the assassination attempt he encountered today had drawn the local authorities’ attention.

“Does Elder Jiang know?” Qi Zhonglu asked gravely, feeling somewhat apologetic.

“The Family Head said you should focus on healing first. Ways and gear to get out can be prepared at any moment,” Jiang Xinrun said casually.

He gestured to the basin of water, “There is water outside, if you need anything just ask, but don’t go out. This place is the only bit safer now.”

“I understand,” Qi Zhonglu nodded.

…

Not far away.

When Jiang Xinrun stepped inside the room, he spoke seriously, “Family Head, Qi Zhonglu has awakened.”

“Understood,” Pei Jinye showed no surprise, his attention still on a turtle shell in his hand.

This object was accidentally obtained from the trading house.

Concealed within a hidden compartment at the bottom of a wooden chest.

Had Pei Jinye not studied it for a while, he might have never discovered the turtle shell.

Upon first glance, he felt it somewhat resembled a divining tool.

So he tried using his spiritual power on it.

Determining the fortune of the day consumed fifty points of psychic power.

It was, admittedly, somewhat painful.

But Pei Jinye was more intrigued than anything.

This turtle shell could predict fortune and misfortune.

“Do you have any other orders?” Jiang Xinrun inquired.

Pei Jinye raised his head, “I’ve left you all some supplies. Stick around for the next few days. Once he’s recovered, follow the route I’ve planned and withdraw from here.”

“Yes, Family Head.”

Jiang Xinrun left the room,

quietly securing the door.

…

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Qi Zhonglu turned to the sturdy man by his side and asked in a low voice, “What happened after I lost consciousness?”

“Nothing special,” the sturdy man hesitated with a tilted head.

“Then, the person who was behind the wall earlier, did he show himself?” Qi Zhonglu continued.

“Are you talking about Mr. Cang?” The sturdy man looked at him with uncertainty, “I suspect it was him, but there’s no evidence. The medicinal herbs you’re drinking now, he personally went to buy them.”

Qi Zhonglu was startled.

“Mr. Cang?”

He had absolutely no idea who this Mr. Cang was.

But recollecting the last scene he witnessed before becoming unconscious, he couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable fear towards the man.

“It seems I underestimated the strength of the Jiang family.”

“Boss, I’m not sure if I should say this,” the sturdy man couldn’t help but speak in a low voice.

“What is it?” Qi Zhonglu looked up, puzzled.

“The Jiang family seems to really treat you quite well…” the sturdy man scratched his head, “Truthfully, when the two of us were cornered here, they didn’t need to save us at all, and they still risked their lives to get medicine for you.”

Qi Zhonglu froze for a moment, then slowly lowered his head, saying nothing.

He lay back down on the sickbed.

“Boss, I swear I’m not bribed by the Jiang family, I’m just speaking impartially…”

The sturdy man’s voice trailed off.

Because Qi Zhonglu had already begun to faintly snore.

The sturdy man turned his head, staring blankly at the door and windows, murmuring to himself:

“It doesn’t really seem so bad…”
