Chapter 264: Hidden Dangers Begin to Surface
Sang Jing Wen stared sharply at Lin Shao Qing, “The medicine wasn’t created recently, why reveal it now?”
Lin Shao Qing sat on the stool, his gaze towards Sang Jing Wen taking on a look he had never seen before: cold-blooded and cruel.
“Do you really need me to spell out something we both know?”
Sang Jing Wen: “Then you should know that Sang Sang won’t let you do this. This is also why you chose to cooperate with me. What makes you think I would agree to cooperate with you?”
“Because Sang Chu also has this poison in her body, and because you don’t want her to die. Neither do I. Therefore, you have no choice but to cooperate with me.”
Sang Jing Wen: “What about Shi Feng? Shi Feng is the same as you, both Sang Sang’s card slaves.”
Lin Shao Qing: “It’s different. Shi Feng is a necromancer. He can summon the dead at will, then use their bodies, memories, and appearances. Although he is currently restrained by Sang Chu, who can guarantee he won’t find a way to escape? We are not born card slaves; we have no servility. What we have is the desire to escape our master’s control and enjoy a free life again.”
Hearing this, Sang Jing Wen understood Lin Shao Qing’s thoughts. He looked at Lin Shao Qing with cold eyes: “You’re talking about yourself, aren’t you? Fang Chao is special, but you don’t dare to act rashly. Why? Because Shi Feng is the one Sang Sang uses to control you. So, if a person is in his hands, you dare not move. Shi Feng must have also discovered Fang Chao’s special nature, but neither of you told Sang Sang.”
Lin Shao Qing: “Then you should know this guy has no good intentions.”
“You’re no different.”
After speaking, Sang Jing Wen turned and left. Lin Shao Qing watched the closed door, a smile on his face: “This is messed up. No one is going to get any good out of this little guy~”
As he spoke, his eyes flickered towards the beam of the room. Though the place was empty, his gaze seemed as if something had left a trace there.
Sang Jing Wen sighed deeply before pushing open the door to Shi Feng’s lounge.
Shi Feng: “Sang Jing Wen? Why are you here?”
Sang Jing Wen looked at Shi Feng teaching Fang Chao, and it didn’t seem like he intended to use him as a blood bag.
“I came…”
No!
A terrifying thought flashed through Sang Jing Wen’s mind, fleetingly. He immediately grasped the idea.
Shi Feng looked at Sang Jing Wen standing dumbfounded at the door and asked doubtfully, “Do you need something here?”
He stared at Shi Feng, tentatively saying, “Lin Shao Qing said to have me take Fang Chao away.”
Shi Feng was stunned for a moment, then nodded, “Alright.”
After speaking, he turned to Fang Chao: “Since Sang Jing Wen wants you, then go with him. Don’t bother packing your things. Be good and don’t embarrass me.”
Fang Chao didn’t know what was happening, but he trusted Shi Feng: “I understand, Master.”
Sang Jing Wen instantly understood. Lin Shao Qing and Shi Feng thought the hospital was unsafe!
So, the medicine Lin Shao Qing developed was given to Li Yue, because Li Yue was very sensitive to any energy capture. Her residence was the safest, and she had many invisibility rats patrolling around her to ensure her research environment and personal safety.
Conversely, Lin Shao Qing and Shi Feng, as mages, had fewer protectors around them because their strength was quite good.
However, the person hiding in the dark was able to make them use such a method to subtly warn him that there was an intruder in the hospital, and they didn’t know who this intruder was!
Sang Jing Wen felt a chill run down his spine.
Shi Feng: “If you have nothing else, don’t hang around the hospital all the time. Those people are coming soon, aren’t they? Your responsibility is to guard Hai Cheng for the Master.
I need to go on patrol now, and so does Lin Shao Qing. Li Yue has her own laboratory and isn’t at the hospital. The little elves will deliver food and drinks to the patients here, so you don’t need to worry about them. Hurry and leave.”
Sang Jing Wen: “Understood. Fang Chao, you come with me.”
Fang Chao was a little confused. Why was it suddenly like this?
But he looked at Shi Feng, then at Sang Jing Wen, and couldn’t discern anything. He could only obediently walk to Sang Jing Wen’s side: “Brother Wen.”
“Okay, let’s go. Shi Feng, remember about the patrol, don’t forget!”
Shi Feng: “Mm.”
Watching Sang Jing Wen and Fang Chao leave, Shi Feng saw his familiar spirit and heard it say it couldn’t find the person’s trace, only that there was a strange smell where they had lingered before leaving.
In other words, the person had disappeared again, and only then did the familiar spirit discover it!
Shi Feng calmly sat back in his chair, tidied the table, and then got up to walk out the door.
He happened to run into Lin Shao Qing, who was also leaving: “Yo, where’s your little follower? Went with someone?”
Shi Feng: “Didn’t you send someone to take him away?”
Tension flared between the two. Hua Xi and Zuo Xue Feng arrived, very curious. Didn’t these two usually get along well?
Hua Xi: “Are you two about to fight?”
Shi Feng didn’t speak, glared at Lin Shao Qing, and turned to leave. Hua Xi was bewildered, not understanding what they were doing: “Did you two have a fight?”
Lin Shao Qing said with a roguish grin, “Who knows? Maybe he’s unhappy because his little follower was taken away by Sang Jing Wen.”
After speaking, he also went out. Hua Xi: “Xue Feng, do you know what Lin Shao Qing is talking about?”
“No, but it doesn’t matter. Let’s go eat first. Those flying bowls will deliver food to the patients here later.”
He wasn’t interested in Lin Shao Qing’s affairs; he just needed to do his job well.
Hua Xi: “Okay, I heard Sang Jing Wen made a lot of delicious food. Let’s go quickly.”
Before, they would have people deliver it, as not everyone in the hospital could leave. But today, they suddenly said no one would deliver food to them and told them to eat in the hall. It was quite strange to go eat and then come back.
After Sang Jing Wen brought Fang Chao to the hall, Shi Feng and Lin Shao Qing arrived shortly after. Hua Xi and Zuo Xue Feng were the last to arrive.
Upon entering, they saw everyone in the hall and felt a bit curious: “Why is everyone here?”
“It’s nothing. You guys eat first. It might be very busy recently. The hospital matters will be handled by those little elves. Everyone, focus on patrolling and defense first.”
Sang Jing Wen didn’t tell them about his suspicions, as there was no concrete evidence. Lin Shao Qing and Shi Feng also remained silent.
Zuo Xue Feng and Hua Xi both sensed something was wrong, but they didn’t say anything, and the two of them silently walked towards the restaurant.
Sang Jing Wen: “Shi Feng, Lin Shao Qing, you guys go patrol first.”
Shi Feng nodded and turned to leave. Lin Shao Qing just looked at Sang Jing Wen with a slight smile. He thought Sang Jing Wen wouldn’t understand his hint, but he reacted so quickly.
It seems he’s not an idiot, so there’s no need for him to disturb Sang Chu’s seclusion.
