Chapter 166 The Ghost Doctor

Chapter 166 The Ghost Doctor

Hua Rushang is a member of the Ghost Doctor clan.

"Thank you for saving me," the man said.

"I just saw your move. You're quite skilled at poisoning, aren't you?" Hua Rushang raised an eyebrow and said, "A member of the Ghost Doctor clan?" Hua Rushang's tone rose slightly, sounding pleasantly alluring.

The man nodded and said, "Yes, that's me."

Hua Rushang smiled lightly, her eyes full of sarcasm, and said, "I didn't know that there would be a traitor among the Ghost Doctor clan. It's really unbelievable."

The man's expression immediately changed, and he said, "I'm not."

"No?" Hua Rushang curled the corners of her lips and smiled, saying, "You showed our Ghost Doctor clan's needle poison to others, and you still say you're not a traitor? Chen Feng is a shrewd man. Do you know how serious the consequences of your actions will be!"

Suddenly, there was a major reversal; Hua Rushang's voice sounded like it was going to drown someone.

The man swallowed hard and said, "Stop slandering me. I was only doing those things for self-defense. Who are you to pin these baseless charges on me? How dare you treat me like this?"

"I saved you. Who are you? You should forget that. In my eyes, your life is worthless. It was only because of the Ghost Doctor clan that I saved you." Hua Rushang's voice became sharper.

The man licked his back teeth, narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said, "Do you know who I am? You saved me. Given my status, as long as you let me go, I will certainly not treat you unfairly. I will reward you handsomely in the future."

"Pfft, hahahaha." Hua Rushang laughed as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, and said, "Who do you think you are? What are you talking about? You said you were rewarding me, but do you have any distinctive things to prove your identity? Hmm? If you do, then show them to me so I can see them properly."

The man swallowed hard and said, "I told you I'm no ordinary person. Besides, what's the point of showing it to someone as clueless and ignorant as you? You wouldn't understand it anyway, it's a waste of your time."

Seeing that Hua Rushang remained silent, the man smiled smugly and said, "Send me back to the Ghost Doctor Clan, and I will treat you well."

"Do you know how often our family gathers? You claim to be an upper-class member of the Ghost Doctor clan, but you don't even recognize me. What kind of upper-class member are you? If you really were, wouldn't you know that I am the Holy Maiden?" Hua Rushang smiled, but her eyes revealed a dangerous signal.

The man's forehead was covered in beads of sweat. He had been trying to play dumb, but he had been exposed. All those words he had just said had now backfired spectacularly.

"Since that's the case, then you have no reason to exist. Our Ghost Doctor clan doesn't need charlatans who swindle and deceive. What do you think?" Hua Rushang's smile gradually turned cold as she slowly took out a silver needle from her sleeve.

The man panicked immediately, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "I was wrong, Holy Maiden, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me, please forgive me, I beg you... Ah!"

Hua Rushang glanced at the man lying on the ground, smiled, and used a handkerchief to wipe his eyes shut. She then removed the silver needle that was stuck in his throat and left.

Hua Rushang glanced at the sky outside, smiled, and guessed that Chen Feng should be in the teahouse now. Thinking about it, Hua Rushang went to the teahouse.

The teahouse is filled with all sorts of people.

"Miss, would you like a drink?" A short, stout man dressed in silk leered at Hua Rushang. Hua Rushang looked at the man, smiled, and said, "That would be nice." She had a bewitching charm.

Hua Rushang took the cup, looked at the man, raised an eyebrow, and the cup shattered.

The short, fat man's smile froze on his face as he looked at the scene before him. He said, "I have something to attend to, Miss. Excuse me." With that, he slunk away. Hua Rushang looked around and finally spotted Chen Feng's figure in a corner.

Chen Feng had just finished taking a sip of tea when a familiar face sat down in front of him. Chen Feng looked at Hua Rushang and said calmly, "What's wrong? Why did you come to see me?"

"Have some tea." As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Rushang picked up the teacup, almost touching it to her lips, when Chen Feng stopped her, snatched the teacup away, and said, "No, if you want tea, you have to pay for it yourself. Buy it yourself. Do you know how expensive this tea is?"

Hua Rushang rolled her eyes at the man in front of her and said, "I've lived most of my life and I've never seen anyone as stingy as you."

Chen Feng shrugged, unconvinced.

"Where is Wu Fen?" Hua Rushang asked, placing her hands on the table.

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow and said, "So that's why you came to see me, right? Why should I tell you? Hmm? But I can tell you, but we have to make an exchange. You can't expect to get something for nothing, can you?"

Hua Rushang frowned and said, "What do you want to know? I probably can't help you."

Chen Feng tapped his fingers on the table, looked at Hua Rushang, and said, "I want to know the information about the second person Chen Tianzhang asked me to investigate. Do you have it?"

Hua Rushang raised an eyebrow and said, "I do know a little about this. What, someone gave you a task, and you still want to take shortcuts? This makes me very distressed." Her tone lifted slightly, adding a hint of amusement.

Chen Feng looked at Hua Rushang with the gaze of a predator eyeing a leopard, and said, "So you mean you know everything? Tell me, what do you know?"

Hua Rushang smiled and shook her head, saying, "You can't get something for nothing. As long as you tell me Wu Fen's whereabouts, I will naturally tell you what you want to know. We can exchange things and neither of us will owe the other anything. What do you think?"

Chen Feng pondered for a moment, just as he was about to agree, but Hua Rushang pressed her advantage and said, "I need to see Wu Fen before I can tell you the whereabouts of the second person Chen Tianzhang asked you to investigate. Otherwise, I won't tell you."

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow, took a deep breath, and said, "Don't push your luck. Tell me the information about the second person Chen Tianzhang asked me to investigate, and I'll tell you where Wu Fen is."

“I have to see Wu Fen. What if you lie to me? Or what if he’s not there when I get there? Then I’ll have wasted my time.” Hua Rushang looked at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took a sip of tea, looked at Hua Rushang, and said, "Take care, I won't see you off."
