CHAPTER TEXT:
Chu Yang 'slowly woke up,' only to see a bald old man with gritted teeth glaring at him with eyes as big as a donkey's.
He was instantly 'taken aback,' hurriedly retreating and sitting down on the ground, he cried out, "I... I didn't do anything!"
This statement was truly a stroke of genius.
The bald old man instantly felt his nose twitch with anger.
You have already scolded my ancestors for eighteen generations, yet you dare to say such a thing. I can't even express my anger; I huffed like a toothache and said, "Yes, you didn't do anything."
When he said this, he almost wanted to slap himself across the face a few times. To speak so shamelessly—this was the first time in his life!
To suffer such a dumb loss, to bite the bullet and swallow his anger, was an unprecedented situation! He felt a mouthful of blood rising to his throat, unable to swallow or spit it out.
His face turned red from the suffocation.
Actually, this situation was not surprising. The interrogation techniques of the law enforcers were the number one strange skill in Nine Heavens, and they had never failed. For an average person, even someone with a similar cultivation level to the bald old man, as long as they fell into his hands, they would surely reveal their secrets. At most, it would just take some extra effort.
But he was truly unfortunate, for this time he was interrogating the nine calamity sword master!
And since the nine calamity sword master appeared, it meant that the Sword Spirit was naturally inside his body! This was equivalent to having two souls in one body!
He could only control one; how could he not suffer a great loss?
Moreover, this point… was not recorded in the enforcer headquarters. After all, the law enforcement organization was established to assist the nine calamity sword master. Who would think to interrogate the nine calamity sword master? Who had the audacity to do so?
Thus, it was only reasonable that he was suffering this dumb loss.
"Then… can I leave?" Chu Yang looked at him pitifully, his voice trembling. Clearly, he was still extremely scared. But in the eyes of the bald old man, it was rather reasonable: in places like this, no one besides law enforcers would want to linger for even a blink of an eye.
"Not at all, with the Chu divine doctor here, I haven't properly entertained you," the bald old man said, deceiving himself, continuously swallowing saliva. He cursed himself for being useless in his mind, forcibly putting on a fake smile, "To be honest, the reason I asked you to come here is truly because I have a request."
"A request?" Chu Yang blinked in confusion and asked, "May I ask… what is it?"
"My friend… ahem, was also injured that night…" The bald old man finally got to the point, his face full of resentment.
He originally planned to capture this kid and have him solve the case and treat the illness simultaneously. Who would have thought that reality was completely opposite of expectations, and he had to become a lowly supplicant instead?
This was truly an unprecedented encounter.
"Oh… I see." The cold sweat on Chu Yang's face was decreasing, and he slowly calmed down. From being restless, he gradually recovered the demeanor of a 'divine doctor' and even shot a resentful glance at the bald old man, fully expressing his dissatisfaction.
This kid really knew how to seize the opportunity… The bald old man felt a mouthful of blood rising up, almost unable to suppress it…
"Not that I am saying…" Chu Yang seemed to still have some reservations, but upon hearing that the other party needed his help, he gradually became a bit arrogant: "…Old man, what you did is simply wrong. Hiring a doctor like this… how can you do it? You actually forced someone to come here. Those two even demanded a bribe from my family…"
As Chu Yang spoke, he 'finally' relaxed. His anger 'gradually' rose, and he became increasingly furious, as if he had adapted to his current role; he finally realized: oh, so you are the ones asking me to do something!
