The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 647: Dogs in the Night

"Silver Needle Hundred Punctures isn’t something from any other Medical Dao lineage!" Liu Zixuan’s expression changed to one of extreme surprise as he flipped to the back of the medical book.

Silver Needle Hundred Punctures is an acupuncture method from Controlling Needle with Qi, created by combining the strengths of various schools within the Holy Medical Scripture. In Liu Zixuan’s understanding, he knows it, his beautiful master knows it, but she never mentioned anyone else knowing it?

He frowned and walked over to the bookshelf, casually flipping through other medical books. Despite most being different, some details subtly reflected content from the Holy Medical Scripture.

"Previously, Ye Lianyi said these medical books were collected by the Sect Leader. Could the Sect Leader of the Medical Immortal Sect be related to my beautiful master?"

At this point, that seems to be the only explanation; there is a sect behind his beautiful master, as she had told Liu Zixuan before.

So, regardless of the situation, the Sect Leader of the Medical Immortal Sect is connected to his beautiful master!

He needs to figure out this matter because it concerns whether he can quickly obtain the Ghost Gate Needle.

No matter that it was late, he pushed the door open and went out, wanting to find Ye Lianyi for clarification, but as he came out, he suddenly remembered he had no idea which courtyard or room Ye Lianyi was in.

Leaving the small courtyard they were in, he glanced around for a while. Earlier when they separated, Ye Lianyi said she still had work to do. At such a late hour, the room with lights on must be Ye Lianyi’s room.

Standing at a high point, he looked out and sure enough, under the pitch-black night sky, a room emitted some light.

Liu Zixuan smiled happily and walked briskly toward it.

The room with the light was approximately five hundred meters away from Liu Zixuan’s position. When he had walked about halfway, he heard a conversation outside a neighboring house that piqued his interest.

"Don’t be angry, right now we need to rely on Mr. Liu to get funding, we can’t do anything foolish!" The voice of the Fifth Elder came from inside the room.

Soon, a resentful voice sounded: "You only care about money, I was slapped in front of so many people, and you keep calling him Mr. Liu!"

"Baby, don’t worry, once the funds are secured, I will definitely avenge you," the Fifth Elder said with a grin.

The other voice, belonging to the Sixth Elder, was that of the woman who earlier almost came to blows with Liu Zixuan until Ye Lianyi intervened violently.

Liu Zixuan’s eyes twinkled, pondering to himself: "So these two old folks have something going on behind the scenes!"

While he was contemplating, the conversation inside continued.

The Sixth Elder said: "Revenge? How will you do that, didn’t you say he and Ye Lianyi’s relationship is not ordinary?"

"At the time, I was indeed under the impression that their relationship is complex, but after dinner, I tested Ye Lianyi and she clearly told me there’s no connection with that Liu guy. She was merely polite to him to secure the business deal," responded the Fifth Elder with a smug laugh.

"Without Ye Lianyi’s help, that Liu guy is just a lamb to the slaughter. Once the funds are in place, they’ll leave the Medical Immortal Sect, and we’ll definitely make him die horribly!"

"And Ye Lianyi?" The Sixth Elder inquired further.

A moment of silence ensued before the Fifth Elder’s voice emerged slowly: "Ye Lianyi is quite formidable. Even the Sect Leader is always polite to her. If we want to act against her, it’s best not to confront her directly!"

"Then what should we do? Honestly, I can’t stand the sight of that woman anymore, she’s always bossing me around, and today she dared to hit me in front of outsiders. I can’t swallow my pride!"

The Sixth Elder paused: "How about tonight, we team up and assassinate them?"

"Shh!" The Fifth Elder hurriedly lowered his voice: "Right now, neither of us is a match for her."

"Then what do you suggest!" The Sixth Elder said, clearly annoyed: "I’m telling you, if we don’t resolve these things quickly, you do your thing and I’ll do mine!"

"Come on, darling, we’ve come this far together, how can we just break up like that?"

Hearing this, Liu Zixuan felt goosebumps all over, thinking: Damn, they’re already in their thirties or forties, and they’re talking so mushily.

Have they no shame!

After a moment of silence inside, the Fifth Elder spoke: "Killing that Liu guy wouldn’t be investigated, but Ye Lianyi must be handled carefully, if she dies, the Sect Leader will definitely investigate!"

"By the way, how’s that poison you were working on?"

The Sixth Elder suddenly chuckled: "Had you not mentioned, I would’ve forgotten. The poison is successfully made. However, it was prepared for the Sect Leader."

"In this case, using it on anyone is the same. Let’s use it on Ye Lianyi, during breakfast tomorrow. The poison takes six hours to act; we’ll poison them in the morning, and it will occur unnoticed by noon."

The Fifth Elder’s tone shifted: "If we’re successful, we’ll wait for the next return of the Sect Leader and kill him too, then the Medical Immortal Sect will be ours!"

"Hehe!" As they spoke, the room echoed with their arrogant laughter.

Little did they know, their meticulously planned scheme had been overheard in its entirety by the passing Liu Zixuan.

Leaning against the corner, Liu Zixuan muttered, "What a pair of venomous scoundrels, thinking they can use poison tricks against me!"

Glancing inside, Liu Zixuan continued walking toward Ye Lianyi’s place.

Now wasn’t the right time to kill them, as they were elders within the Medical Immortal Sect; killing them so rashly would incite the Sect’s wrath.

For now, he’ll let them have this night, and tomorrow have Ye Lianyi witness how vile these two elders are, and then it’ll be time to kill them!

Liu Zixuan arrived at the courtyard with the light shining, initially intending to knock, but he hesitated, fearing it would draw attention. So he jumped right over the wall.

Seeing the faint light, Liu Zixuan chuckled: "I wonder what serious matters this little beauty Ye Lianyi is busy with!"

Mumbling to himself, he moved further inside and leaned against the window for a look, but saw nothing distinct through the hazy view.

Knock, knock, knock!

He lightly knocked on the door, but there was no reaction. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Liu Zixuan raised his eyebrow, twisted the doorknob, and it opened with a creak.

Grinning, he said: "Seems there’s really a lack of security awareness, leaving the door unlocked!"

"Ye Lianyi, what are you up to?" Liu Zixuan stepped into the lit room, a simply decorated, sparsely furnished bedroom. It was empty, but from the bathroom came the sound of rushing water.

"No way, such timing. As soon as I arrive, she’s bathing..." Liu Zixuan smirked and instinctively activated his X-ray Vision...
