Chapter 36 To Be Harsh Because of a Great Kind Hear (1/2)

The snow never stopped, what happened that day too, did not stop.

An Renjie yelled at Steward Wu. ”Old man Wu, the inn's door should be spruced up, why are you saving this little money for your Young Master Shen?”

”Young Master An, this door has been around for a hundred years and it was made using leftover scraps of the Jianglong wood. Its price that is worth a thousand gold pieces cannot be overemphasized, but this is our inn's signature,” Steward Wu replied proudly. Of course, this door was not left behind a long time ago. It was a gift from Old Master Shen because the inn was impressively operated.

To say that it was worth thousands of gold pieces was an exaggeration but it was definitely expensive.

This type of wood grow slowly, the quality of the wood was tough and tensile, the surface was smooth and fine, it was also not easily broken. When bent with a strong force, each side would bounce back like blades, its edges were razor sharp.

What made it rare was that this wood was able to emit a light fragrance which had the ability to repel poisonous insects. With this door being here when guests enter this inn, most of the harmful insects, if there were any, would be chased away.

An Renjie was ignorant and incompetent, that was precisely why he did not know about the Jianglong wood. But he also knew that Steward Wu was not an impractical man. By looking at the material of this door, it was definitely worth some money.

”Since this door is that precious, there is no need to fear of being stolen by others by putting it outside,” An Renjie sarcastically remarked.

”You are joking again, Young Master An, who in the State Capital of Qing would dare to steal the inn's items?”

”That's enough you two, stop bickering. There's someone unconscious outside the door. Uncle Wu, go and send two people to lift him in.”

Shen Lian's brows crinkled lightly. Trouble sure knew how to pick its timing.

He smelled a whiff of the bloody scent.

Steward Wu was rather used to Shen Lian's supernatural knowledge of the things around him without directly seeing or hearing. He sent out two workers to open the door and sure enough, there was someone lying down not far away.

The two workers lifted the person in, it was a man in a junior officer uniform, he looked around twenty years old with his eyes tightly shut, and it was obvious that he had passed out.

He was hardly scratched from top to toe, it was just his snow stained clothes that were slightly wet. Once he was laid flat on the floor, Shen Lian had the others to bring a basin of hot water.

He gently touched the person's forehead, it was burning hot.

His gaze fell onto the bottom part of his abdomen, there were three inconspicuous needle marks on his clothes.

The bloody scent came from there.

”What a brilliant display of skill with hidden weapons, each needle landed on the acupuncture point without a miss, if this was done in one shot, that person is truly remarkable.”

To be able to hit and recognize acupuncture points seemed like ordinary abilities for the masters in Jianghu, but to be able to hit acupuncture points using hidden weapons and to be this accurate, there was definitely talent and hard work put into it.

There was also a flow of malicious Qi inside his body. It was uncontrollable and it circulated about aimlessly. It was also because of this malicious Qi, which was scorching hot, that caused him to not freeze to death in the cold snowy weather.

In this weather, it was hard even for the masters of Jianghu, who had the essential Qi to protect their body, to walk far. Not everyone was as formidable as Xin Shisiniang, what more was that she was neither human nor an ordinary creature.

”Young master, here is the hot water.”

There were still many customers in the great hall. There was not any kind of entertainment in this weather, plus there was a brief appearance and disappearance of Xin Shisiniang.

Everyone surrounded the both of them, waiting for a good show.

”My friends, I do not like to be stared at while saving lives, kindly disperse, all of you.”

”Young Master Shen, we're just here to look, and we won't disturb you.”

”That's right. Earlier, we've heard that Young Master Shen's medical skills are brilliant so we would like to have a glimpse of it.”
