It was dark outside and the wind rustled the treetops. The sound masked many other subtle sounds, including Su Ya's footsteps.
Finally, Su Yay came up to Ning Tao's side, and the kitchen knife in her right hand was close to his neck.
Ning Tao suddenly turned around, clasped Su Ya by the right wrist, and yanked her into his arms. Before Su Ya could let out a scream, he covered her mouth with his left hand. At that moment, he leaned over to Su Ya's ear and whispered, "It's me. Be quiet."
Su Ya went rigid, not knowing what to do. She couldn't make out Ning Tao's face, but she recognized his voice. She couldn't figure out why Ning Tao was in her room at dead of night. She got nervous as she thought of them alone in this room late at night, and smelled his male hormones. Meanwhile various conjectures crossed her mind.
In this subtle and tense moment, a man suddenly appeared out of the window. He peered into the room and then stuck a
Qiu Meng opened his mouth and spat blood on the floor. "I am by no means a man afraid of death. If you have any means of torture, go ahead!" Then Ning Tao kicked him in the waist. Qiu Meng grunted and moved over three meters sideways. Yet he still acted tough, gritting his teeth without letting out a scream, let alone begging for mercy. Ning Tao took the knife for cutting herbs, put it against Qiu Meng's neck, and said fiercely, "Do you believe I'll kill you right now?" Qiu Meng, suppressing the pain, croaked, "You're a doctor, not a killer. Are you willing to commit a crime because of someone like me? Don't lie!" Ning Tao was a little helpless. It was true that he wouldn't kill Qiu Meng anyway, because that was against the law. Qiu Meng had committed unforgivable sins, but Ning Tao had got him now. The judge would sentence him to death even if Ning Tao didn't do anything to him. So why did Ning Tao bother to hand
A day later. A dozen masons were busy in the Sunshine Orphanage, repairing or installing sports equipment for children, such as swings, treadmills and wooden horses. The children were so happy that they scrambled to play on the swing that had been installed. Fortunately, Ge Ming kept the order, asking them to queue up, and then he pushed them in turn, which solved the disputes among the children. Su Ya and Ning Tao helped Ge Ming trim vegetables, like Ipomoea aquaticas and cowpeas, and they had trimmed a big pile. The night before was history, and Su Ya had come out of the horror of that night. After all, she was not the kind of girl who grew up under the love and care of her parents. She was a wild girl with great resilience. Today, however, she looked a little different—she was wearing lipstick. Her thin lips were bright red, making her, who had infantile features, look a little mature. This was the first time f
"Before I came here, I thought you'd be in your thirties or forties. I didn't expect you to be so young and talented," Tang Zhen said while closely scrutinizing Ning Tao, looking at his features, his figure, even looking behind him at his back, as if she found a male mermaid on a beach. Ning Tao felt uncomfortable by her observation and politely said, "I'm flattered." "Do you have a girlfriend?" questioned Tang Zhen suddenly. Ning Tao was embarrassed, but he couldn't ignore her, so he answered, "No." "Great, haha," Tang Zhen said with a laugh. Ning Tao was a little confused. "Mom!" Jiang Hao's face broke into a look of embarrassment. "Do you have to embarrass Ning Tao when you first meet each other?" Tang Zhen fumed, "What did I do? For a woman, the most afraid is to marry the wrong person, I am the living proof. How can I not help you with this?" "Mom, why are you... invo
Upon seeing Lin Qinghua, Ning Tao realized he was worse off than the last time they met. His cheeks were unusually thin, but he was strangely energetic. He kept talking to himself, claiming to be the emperor and mentioning his beloved concubine and something like that. He looked like a man with a serious mental illness. He did not calm down until Lin Qingyu coaxed him to drink a glass of milk with a sleeping pill. Looking at Lin Qinghua, who fell fast asleep, Ning Tao wondered, "The ledger of bamboo slips said Sean was a new demon, but he was not in line with the characteristics of demons except for his madness. Those demons in movies and television dramas were all exceptionally formidable. They're omnipotent, able to fly and get into the ground. But Lin Qinghua even cannot resist a sleeping pill. How could he be a demon?" However, he had only seen demons in movies and television dramas, and had never seen a real one. At this moment, the "ne
Chen Jun's words turned the rapport between them into awkwardness. He and Ning Tao never really met, but he was too rude to say that. In fact, he was embarrassing Ning Tao in front of Jiang Hao and Liang Keming. Ning Tao took his hand back. Getting a little angry, Jiang Hao quipped, "Chief Chen, what do you mean?" "This boy is too young. If he were in our hospital, he could only be an intern. He simply doesn't have the experience or the qualifications to see patients clinically," stated Chen Jun. "Before I came to Shan City this time, Academician Liang asked me to participate in Lin Qinghua's diagnosis and treatment as an assistant to a miracle doctor. Is this boy the miracle doctor?" That was why he was so unfriendly to Ning Tao when he first met him. As a famous doctor who came from the big city Beidu, the local chief physician of his level in his eyes was inferior to him. How could he be willing to work as an assistant for N
Ning Tao settled into the nursing home. In the day, he studied the chapter of elixirs in the nameless medical book, and at night he used the key of the clinic and the blood lock painted on the back of the bedside table to return to the Sky Clinic for spiritual power cultivation. He had to hurry, as the date of his first payment for the Sky Clinic was getting closer. By then the good and evil energy in the good-evil tripod would be weakened, so he had to make the alchemy fire and Primary Elixirs before that, or he would be in danger. Chen Jun and his disciples had multiple consultations, examinations, and tests on Lin Qinghua's condition. However, the shadow that hung over Chen Jun and his disciples grew heavier. They had done the physical examinations that were supposed to be done and had the discussions that they were supposed to have, but they hadn't even figured out the cause of Lin Qinghua's illness, let alone come up with an effective treatment plan.
In the room, Ning Tao put Lin Qinghua on the bed. Then he walked back to the door and locked it from inside before he went to the window and locked it too and drew the curtain. As all preparations had been made, he removed the bedside table and opened the blood lock with the clinic key. The blood spread and an inky hole appeared in the wall. Ning Tao picked Lin Qinghua up and walked through the convenient door. Behind the door was the Sky Clinic. As soon as Lin Qinghua entered the Sky Clinic, the good-evil tripod glowered. Ning Tao put Lin Qinghua on the floor and stared at him. Black and white air gushed out from the good-evil tripod. In a blink of an eye, the whole clinic was enveloped by "mist", which was distinct half white and half black, making it a spectacle. But after a few seconds, all the black and white air returned to the good-evil tripod. After that, Lin Qinghua suddenly ma
Lin Qinghua seemed to fall into a deep reverie, his face anguished. "I'm not sure. It's like, like... a cemetery, a very remote cemetery... I dug a grave according to the man's instructions, and then I found what he said, the prescription and the spiritual soil. Then I perfected the project... Later, I tried to find the place, but... I couldn't find it anymore. And then I made two pills of ancestor seeking... I couldn't resist the temptation, and ate one of them. At first, I could be sane for a while, but gradually I had less and less time to be sane..." Suddenly, Ning Tao struck upon an idea. "Have you seen an old man? He's not tall, thin, and expert in martial arts." Lin Qinghua shook his head. "I, I don't know... Is he the one who called me anonymously?" According to Lin Qinghua, Ning Tao denied that the old martial artist was the one who called Lin Qinghua anonymously. That man was probably the boss behind the scenes. How could he possib
