Dragon's Origin

Chapter 54: Someone is Plotting Something

“I can’t heal this injury!” As Shi Lixing expected, Wang Sheng shook his head directly after seeing that it was Shi Lixing and examining his injuries. “You should go to the clinic next door. Use some good pills, and I believe you’ll recover quickly.”

Wang Sheng was suppressing a laugh, but his advice was very sincere. Shi Lixing’s appearance was truly satisfying. He was covered in dust, his face was bruised and swollen. If he hadn't wrapped his head in cloth, he probably wouldn't have dared to go out. Even so, a grown man with a veil on his head was enough for many people to stare at him like a spectacle.

That kind of feeling was enough to experience once, and Shi Lixing didn't want to try it a second time. He knew Wang Sheng didn't like him, but at this time, he needed help, so he had to lower his posture.

He had considered using force to beat Wang Sheng into submission, but so many people were waiting in line, all from the Shi family. They would never allow him to do that.

Yesterday's incident had already drawn some criticism. If he beat him again and Wang Sheng left Linchuan City because of it, wouldn't they lose the comfortable massage they were enjoying?

“Here are two gold coins, enough to compensate for your losses yesterday.” Shi Lixing was generous, directly throwing out two gold coins, at least twice as much as the copper coins he had taken from Wang Sheng’s basin yesterday. “If you can reduce the swelling and relieve the pain today, I’ll reward you with two more gold coins!”

The way the people waiting were looking at him made Shi Lixing want to crawl into a hole in the ground. They were definitely laughing, laughing at his change of attitude, laughing at him for shooting himself in the foot.

After today, he would get rid of Wang Sheng and let him know what the consequences were for messing with him, hmph! Shi Lixing thought bitterly in his heart, but the smile on his face became even brighter.

Some Shi family members familiar with Shi Lixing's personality sighed inwardly when they saw his current smile. Wang Sheng was a pity. Although they still didn't know Wang Sheng's name, they had indeed enjoyed many things they hadn't enjoyed before because of Wang Sheng these days. What a pity!

“Reducing swelling and relieving pain in one day requires some special medicinal herbs.” Wang Sheng didn’t embarrass Shi Lixing further, but replied with a smile, “The money in my shop isn’t enough to buy them.”

“How much is lacking? Take it from me?” After making up his mind, Shi Lixing was extremely accommodating. Anyway, Wang Sheng was doomed to die, so no matter how much he took from him, he could get it back from him tomorrow. It was just letting Wang Sheng keep it for a while, so it didn’t matter how much.

Some people who didn't know the inside story laughed when they saw Shi Lixing being easily extorted for ten gold coins by Wang Sheng. If they had known this would happen, why had he acted like that yesterday?

Wang Sheng didn't stand on ceremony at all, taking Shi Lixing's gold coins without any pressure. He swaggered to the back with the gold coins in his hand, tossing them up and down, not knowing what he was doing. When he came out, he had a bottle of something that was said to be made of super medicinal herbs.

He told Shi Lixing to take off his clothes and lie down, which made the people waiting in line outside laugh again. Shi Lixing's body was covered in bruises and swelling, and no one knew how he had been beaten like that. But everyone was fine, not laughing out loud, just stifling their laughter.

He poured a bottle of “super medicinal herbs” that was no different from ordinary trauma medicine on Shi Lixing, and Wang Sheng began to guide Shi Lixing to output spiritual energy while cooperating with the massage.

How could Wang Sheng, who had experienced many battles, not feel the killing intent hidden beneath Shi Lixing's smile? But Shi Lixing definitely wouldn't attack at the beginning. If he attacked, who would heal his injuries? Wang Sheng boldly let Shi Lixing output spiritual energy, controlling his Chiwen Nascent Soul to devour it greedily.

This guy was a master of the Second Level of Qi Refining, and his spiritual energy was much purer than that of ordinary First Level of Qi Refining small fries. The Chiwen Nascent Soul could only eat a small part in one bite, and the digestion time was long, but the effect was much better. One absorption was enough to be worth the spiritual energy of five First Level of Qi Refining small fries.

Wang Sheng was very skilled. He started by helping Shi Lixing dredge his limbs, and only began to massage his head and torso after all his limbs were completed. In this way, even if Shi Lixing attacked suddenly, Wang Sheng wouldn't be seriously injured by the force of his head and torso.

Of course, if Shi Lixing was smart, he would never attack at this time. Not to mention whether it would affect the treatment effect, Wang Sheng's hands were pressing on his neck, head, and chest. If he attacked, it would be like he didn't die fast enough.

Shi Lixing alone took up the time of four people, but Shi Lixing himself was very satisfied with the massage effect. In just half an hour, the pain on his body was reduced by more than half, and the bruised parts were also significantly reduced. According to Wang Sheng, he could get better after sleeping at night.

If this guy wasn't so ignorant, Shi Lixing would even want to keep Wang Sheng alive. Unfortunately, since Wang Sheng dared to take his money before and make him feel embarrassed, then Wang Sheng must die. Otherwise, those rivals in love would laugh at Shi Lixing to death.

A quiet day passed, and night came, and Linchuan City quickly fell into peace.

Wang Sheng had prepared everything and was planning to go to Shi Lixing's mansion to pay a visit. Suddenly, a slight noise made Wang Sheng vigilant.

He lightly jumped onto the roof beam and stood there quietly. Two tiles on the roof had been pushed open, and Wang Sheng could see the scenes in two directions through the holes left by the two tiles.

It was dark outside, and even Wang Sheng's enhanced vision couldn't see anything. He took out his infrared telescope and turned it on, and several jumping red figures appeared in Wang Sheng's telescope view.

Looking at their movements, these guys were clearly well-trained experts, and their movements were light enough. One guy was very vigilant, as if he had noticed Wang Sheng was watching him. He glanced at Wang Sheng's side, stared at this direction for a long time, and then turned his head away suspiciously.

The corners of Wang Sheng's mouth curled into a contemptuous arc. In such a dark night, across at least tens of meters, wanting to see Wang Sheng from a gap in the roof tiles, Wang Sheng really wasn't looking down on him, but ten of him couldn't do it.

There were about seven or eight people in this group. They briefly gathered there, and then separated, rushing in several directions.

With such a group of mysterious guys, Wang Sheng wasn't in a hurry to find Shi Lixing's trouble. He wanted to see what else in Linchuan City was worth such a group of guys who looked like infiltration experts acting so furtively?

What made Wang Sheng especially amused was that there was a place where someone was clearly monitoring Wang Sheng's residence. No need to ask, it must have been sent by Shi Lixing, fearing that Wang Sheng would escape or for some other reason, they had been watching him. Little did they know that Wang Sheng had long discovered that he was being monitored, and it was very easy to get rid of them.

But Wang Sheng didn't do that. It was obvious that something must happen in Linchuan City tonight, so he would just wait and watch the fun, he didn't need to participate.

The next morning, Wang Sheng opened the door of his small clinic as usual, washed up, ate, and waited for the injured to come. But today's situation was obviously abnormal. Not many people came, but there were many Shi family members holding weapons and walking around as if patrolling, as if they were facing a great enemy.

He finally saw a familiar little guy who often came here patrolling in a decent manner, Wang Sheng greeted him and prepared some tea. The little guy was also tired, so he greeted a few companions to sit and rest here. Wang Sheng didn't ask anything, and they took the initiative to talk about it.

Someone died in the Shi family manor. It was the manor in the west of the city. A Second Level of Qi Refining young man died. He died in his own room in his own bed. It was said that the news from there was that he was killed in his sleep. In such a large manor, no one noticed.

The four side branch leaders of the Linchuan Shi family became vigilant, especially the Shi family in the west of the city. The patriarch was furious. Someone sneaked in and killed someone and swaggered away. No one in the Shi family noticed. If they didn't kill that young man, but killed him, the patriarch, wouldn't they be able to succeed as well?

“Shi Lixing is in trouble!” The little guy didn't see what happened yesterday, but he knew that Shi Lixing had come to Wang Sheng to cause trouble and collect protection fees, so he especially told Wang Sheng.

The young man who died in the manor in the west of the city happened to be another pursuer of the flower girl that Shi Lixing was pursuing, Shi Lixing's rival in love.

Some things are afraid of association. The day before, Shi Lixing was beaten up, and he hadn't found out who the murderer was. Last night, his rival in love died. There was an unclear connection here.

Especially since Shi Lixing sent people out last night, presumably it was an arrangement against Wang Sheng, but it was found out that he sent people out, Shi Lixing became the biggest suspect.

The Shi family in the west of the city was certainly not willing to let their own children die like this, so they immediately found Shi Lixing and asked the Shi family in the south of the city to give an explanation.

Although everyone was a side branch of the Shi family, they were all beyond the fifth generation, and the relationship was very distant. Once they made a fuss, they immediately became tense and on the verge of drawing swords.

Deliberately retaliating and eliminating rivals in love were the two most likely reasons, all of which were pinned on Shi Lixing's head. Now, Shi Lixing didn't have time to find Wang Sheng's trouble, so he should clear his suspicion first!

Wang Sheng was happy on his face, and he was also happy in his heart. But he was still a little puzzled. Who were those people last night? Why did they do such a thing?

Wang Sheng didn't see any familiar faces in Linchuan City. Even if they came for Wang Sheng, they probably wouldn't be stupid enough to take the initiative to kill Shi's family members to attract people's attention, so there must be a reason for killing people.

In the tense atmosphere, another day passed. At night, Wang Sheng once again sensed movement and saw that group of people.

The next day, Wang Sheng heard the news that someone had died again. This time, it was another rival in love of Shi Lixing, a young talent from the Shi family in the east of the city.

Things seem to be getting more and more interesting.
