Chapter 2: The Mysterious Old Man

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Seeing Xie Dongya staring blankly at him, the old man in black smiled slightly, causing the wrinkles on his face to bunch together. "Sit down, why are you just standing there like a fool?"

Completely forgetting how the old man entered his house, Xi Dongya now only wants the old man to leave the money for the glass. With a monthly salary of just over 1,000 yuan, after compensating for the glass, he couldn't even afford instant noodles for the last half of the month

"Who you love is none of my business, hurry up and get the money, otherwise I will call the police." After a pause, Xie Dongya glanced at the still intact window and door, casting a suspicious look at the old man.

Old man, this won't do. You've performed magic to the point of vomiting blood. I should take you to the hospital.

Seeing the old man's breathing becoming increasingly labored, Xie Dongya no longer felt like joking. He grabbed the old man's hand, intending to carry him on his back. This was no laughing matter; if a life were lost, Xie Dongya could not bear that responsibility

Xie Dongya is not a local resident, and the house is also rented. After having a rather unsatisfactory breakfast downstairs, Xie Dongya climbed upstairs and took out the key to prepare to open the door

After giving the old man a glare, Xie Dongya finally reacted, sitting down in the chair opposite the old man and saying: "Old man, I don't care what you are doing, you broke something in our hospital last night, you have to pay for it"

This is my damn home

Do you not want to know who I am

Last night, he did not sleep at all, and at this moment, Xie Dongya was so tired that he could hardly keep his eyes open. However, when he walked into the room, he was immediately stunned, for the old man dressed in black was sitting on his family's worn-out sofa, gazing intently at him.

He shook his head slightly, sighed, disregarded Xie Dongya's complaints, and slowly stood up from the sofa, beginning to pace around the room

After shaking for a long time, Xie Dongya realized that the old man showed no signs of life, knowing that he was already dead. Xie Dongya weakly sat down on the ground, looking at the pair of purple beads in his hand, contemplating how to deal with the situation at hand

Compose, continue to compose, this old woman might have escaped from a psychiatric hospital, otherwise how could she be talking nonsense. What era is this, it's the 21st century. A demoness? Why don't you call her a fox spirit instead

The old man struggled to utter a phrase to stop Xie Dongya's actions. Then, he trembled as he took out a cloth bag from his bosom, reaching inside with one hand to retrieve a pair of purple beads, each the size of an eyeball

That enchantress is a disgrace to ancient martial artists, relying solely on absorbing the essence of men to enhance her power. If I had not appeared in time last night, you would likely have been drained of all your vitality by now

Xie Dongya desperately shook the lifeless body of the old man, not expecting him to pass away so soon. As a doctor, he was not afraid of death. However, the fact that the old man died in his home made him uneasy; if others found out, he would have a hard time explaining himself

Looking at Xie Dongya with a hint of surprise, the old man confidently believed that with his attire, he resembled a martial arts master. However, the other party showed no interest in this and immediately asked him for money upon entering the door

Seeing that Xie Dongya had a look of disbelief, the old man merely smiled faintly. It is understandable that ordinary people would find it hard to believe such matters. It seems he must demonstrate a bit of his skill; otherwise, this young man would surely think of him as just an old charlatan.

With a helpless sigh, Xie Dongya walked towards his home. After all, that well-endowed deputy director Li Tong had already said he would deduct his salary, so if he could find that old man, he would have to pay for it.

At eight o'clock, Xie Dongya dragged his somewhat weary body out of the hospital. Last night's events left him quite depressed, as not only had that old fellow in black ruined his good fortune, but he also had to pay for the broken glass himself

Although this old man made him lose quite a bit of money, seeing the elder spitting blood startled Xie Dongya, who hurriedly walked closer to the old man

Old Master, Old Master

"I can't believe it, what time is it and you are still thinking about this? Let me take you to the hospital quickly, otherwise..." Before he could finish his sentence, Xie Dongya stopped speaking, as the old man had already lost his breath.

Indeed, you are truly a pure Yang body; no wonder that enchantress sought you out

Just thinking about this makes Xie Dongya feel furious; what era is this, and there are still妖女 (demonic women). It is clear that the old man is displeased with his own attempts to woo the young lady, or perhaps Mi Xue is actually his illegitimate daughter. Otherwise, how could that old fellow have jumped in through the window in such a hurry

Young man, pay attention.

"Young man ... ... , I beg you to help ... ... find the owner of these divine pupils, then ... ... I can die with my eyes closed. " It seemed as if the old man was using all his strength as he pressed the pair of purple beads into Xie Dongya's hands.

There is no need to go to the hospital anymore, I am already on the verge of collapse

Did you see that? This is the internal strength. When cultivated to a certain level, it can transform energy into form, you... phew!

How did you get in? Do you have a way to enter my house without breaking the windows and doors? Why did you have to smash the glass at the hospital?

However, when he saw the old man's face gradually darkening, he felt even more astonished. Although he was merely an intern doctor, Xie Dongya could tell that the old man was poisoned, and the toxicity was extremely severe. If rescue efforts were not timely, it was likely that the old man would not survive this.

Zhao Xie Dongya smiled lightly, and the old man gently raised one hand. Immediately, Xie Dongya saw a small whirlwind rising from the old man's hand. The small whirlwind was light gray and kept spinning in the palm of the old man's hand

Before the old man could finish speaking, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which sprayed several meters away, hitting the door across from him. Subsequently, the old man collapsed to the ground, his face contorting in pain, clearly indicating that he was not feeling well at all

Just as Xie Dongya's two eyes were fixed on the purple beads, the two beads unexpectedly emitted a faint purple light. Immediately, the two beads transformed into two beams of purple light, which swiftly shot into Xie Dongya's eyes. He felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and then he lost all consciousness.

What on earth is going on here

Moreover, this old fellow ruined his own good fortune last night. If it weren't for the consideration that he still had a weapon he hadn't drawn, Xie Dongya would have wanted to directly take the money out of the old man's clothes.
