Chapter 319 The Real Cause of Lu Lingling's Death
The next morning, after dinner, the four of them went down the mountain together.

It was already noon when we returned to Liaoxiang.

Yesterday, the cliff on Lost Mountain collapsed, making quite a noise and everyone in the village heard it.

Today, all kinds of rumors spread throughout the village, and the stories of ghosts and gods spread throughout the countryside. When people learned that Ye Fushu and his four companions had come down from the mountain, some people came forward to inquire.

However, some people think that the four people angered the mountain ghost and were cursed, so they stayed far away from the four people.

The owner of the B&B didn't like the four people very much and threatened to ask them to check out and leave as soon as possible.

After hearing this, Liu Yan was very angry and almost had a quarrel with the boss. However, Ye Fushu and the other two didn't care. After packing up their things, they checked out of the room directly. They were going to leave anyway.

However, before leaving Liao Township, Yan Xicen and Yan Ming went to find Wu Xian, while Ye Fushu went to find Mr. Jiu, and Liu Yan followed Ye Fushu.

Mr. Jiu is a very good-tempered and kind person.

After meeting, Ye Fushu chatted with him for a while and got the answer he wanted.

Before leaving, Mr. Jiu even gave Ye Fushu and Liu Yan a box of incense each.

After leaving Mr. Jiu's residence, Liu Yan played with the incense box and said happily, "Mr. Jiu is so nice that he even gave us incense."

Ye Fushu took the incense from her hand and said, "Give this to me. I'll give you a new one later."

Liu Yan: Hmm?

"Is there something wrong with this fragrance?"

Ye Fushu: “Not really.”

The fragrance is good and there is nothing wrong with it.

However, if used improperly, big problems can occur.

People who don’t understand incense will probably have problems using it, so it’s better to give it to her.

Liu Yan was a little confused when listening to Ye Fushu's words, but since Ye Fushu said so, Liu Yan didn't say anything more.

Sister Fushu has given her a Qiankun Ring, so how could she have any bad intentions towards her?

Therefore, Sister Fushu must have taken the incense for her own good.

Luo Qingyu had something to do, so he left early in the morning. Ye Fushu and Liu Yan planned to take Yan Xicen's car back, so after leaving Mr. Jiu's residence, they went to the village entrance to meet up with Yan Xicen and Yan Ming.

Just as they reached the entrance of the village, Yan Xicen and Yan Ming happened to come out of Wu Xian's residence.

Ye Fushu had met Wu Xian before, and Wu Xian seemed to have a bad temper.

Ye Fushu originally thought that Yan Xicen and Yan Ming would be turned down if they went to see him, but he never expected that not only did they get what they wanted, but they were also respectfully escorted out of the yard by Wu Xian.

Ye Fushu was a little surprised, and Liu Yan was also surprised.

After getting in the car, Liu Yan couldn't help but ask Yan Ming, "Why is that guy so polite to you? Before, when we asked him about Lu Lingling, he was very fierce."

Yan Ming smiled and said, "We ask something of him, and he asks something of us as well."

Liu Yan nodded after hearing this, "Is that so."

Yan Ming: "Didn't you ask about Lu Lingling's cause of death before? My grandfather and I asked Wu Xian and found out that Lu Lingling died of illness."

"It's a hereditary disease in the Yue family."

When Ye Fushu heard this, he immediately became interested, "What disease?"

Yan Ming shook his head. "I don't know exactly what the disease is, but the symptom is that snake scales will grow when you reach a certain age."

"When scales start to appear on the face, it's time for death."

"The three women in the Yue family all sought medical treatment from Wu Xian. Mother-in-law died at the age of 30, the eldest daughter of the Yue family, Yue Yiyi, died at the age of 22, and Lu Lingling died at the age of 18."

"There's no regular pattern to when scales start to grow and when they die."

"This is the first time I've heard of this disease. Wu Xian has never heard of it before. He has been researching it for more than 20 years but still hasn't been able to figure it out."

"Snake scales?" Ye Fushu muttered in a low voice, and then fell into deep thought.

Liu Yan was a little surprised when she heard about this disease for the first time, but she also had some doubts in her mind, "Were all three of them treated by Wu Xian?"

"Since Wu Xian failed to cure my mother-in-law, why didn't Butler Yue take Yue Yiyi and Lu Lingling to other people for treatment? Maybe someone else could cure her." Yan Ming shrugged and said, "Who knows."

"Maybe he trusts Wu Xian and thinks he will help keep it a secret."

"After all, if others knew about this kind of thing, they would definitely think of the evil spirit."

Liu Yan thought it made sense and nodded.

**
The four of them set out from Liao Township at noon and arrived at Nanxiang City in the evening. After entering Nanxiang City, Yan Ming asked about the whereabouts of Ye Fushu and Liu Yan.

"I'm going to my master's place." After saying that, Liu Yan gave a place name.

Ye Fushu reported it directly to Xiangda.

[Liu Xi has woken up. I have to go back to Baiyue City as soon as possible to check on her. However, I have to go to Xiangda first before going back.]

"Xiangda? What are you going there for so late? Are you going to look for your fourth brother?" Yan Xicen asked after hearing Ye Fushu say that he was going to Xiangda.

Ye Fushu told the truth, "Alchemy."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly leaned forward, holding onto the passenger seat with both hands, and looked at Yan Xicen who was sitting in the passenger seat. She said with a little more obedience in her tone, "Boss Yan, have you found the two medicinal herbs I asked you to find?"

[Since you have met Wu Xian, you should have obtained the medicinal materials. ]

Yan Xicen nodded, "Indeed I got it."

As he spoke, Yan Xicen took out two jade boxes and handed them to Ye Fushu.

Ye Fushu quickly took it, opened it and looked at it.

After confirming that they were the two herbs she wanted, Ye Fushu put them away, then smiled at Yan Xicen, "Boss Yan, how much did you pay for these herbs?"

Yan Xicen: "I got it in exchange, it didn't cost me any money."

Ye Fushu:?

[No way? No way? You’re going to give it to me for free? ]

Yan Xicen: "Do you remember the previous agreement?"

Ye Fushu thought about it and quickly remembered that his condition seemed to be to have dinner together.

[So, you mean we should have another meal together? ]

"I won't charge you any money, but the conditions will change. As for what they will change to, I haven't thought of it yet. I'll tell you when I think of it."

Yan Xicen had asked Ye Fushu to have dinner with him because he wanted to get some words from her and gather some information from her heart.

But now, the alliance is about to be reached, so it will be easy to make a dinner appointment and there is no need to use the previous condition.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fushu immediately said, "Don't do anything illegal."

Yan Xicen nodded, "Of course."

Ye Fushu added, "You can't cross my moral bottom line."

[I have the final say on where my moral bottom line is.]

Yan Xicen curled his lips almost imperceptibly, "Okay."

Ye Fushu was satisfied, "Deal."

**
Yan Ming first sent Liu Yan to her master. As for Ye Fushu, he was originally going to be sent to Xiangda by Yan Ming, but in the end, he was abducted by Yan Xicen back to his villa.

Yan Xicen took Ye Fushu to have dinner, arranged a place for her to stay, and then left, as if he was going back to Wanyu City.

Before leaving, Yan Xicen gave Ye Fushu the password to the villa, "In the future, if you come to Nanxiang City and have no place to stay, you can stay here."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Ye Fushu was the only one living in this huge villa.

After walking around the villa, Ye Fushu couldn't help but sigh that Yan Xicen was so generous that he actually left her alone in the villa.

You know, there are many antiques and famous paintings in the villa, so there is no need to worry that she will move things out of the villa.

Fortunately, she had some morals and didn't actually move the things away.
