Why am I a villain and still have my own jokes?

Hu Fangtao is dead.

When Ling Yao received this news, he thought unkindly about who Hu Fangtao was for 3 minutes, and then he remembered that this was the guy from the Qi Refining Hall who voluntarily jumped into the pit he dug in the black market.

According to Nan Bohong, the gossip about "Hu Fangtao of the Nanjia Qi Refining Hall spared Li Haibo's life" came out within 36 hours of the incident.Almost after Ling Yao met Li Jiaheng that day, the Li family started to move, confirming the news through various channels, and got confirmation from an informant on the black market.

Then during the three days when Ling Yao was working overtime, the Li family directly pressured the Nan family to hand over Hu Fangtao. The Li family handed over Hu Fangtao, and "thousands of reminders" told the Li family not to lynch members of the Nan family because of personal grievances.

The reason why the Nan family was able to act according to Ling Yao's expectations was naturally not because of any tacit understanding, but because at this time, the news that Lin Tianyu was the "alchemist" and "jewel eye" had already reached Nan Guozhong.The Nan family wanted to avoid offense at both ends, so they had to put on a good show.

If it wasn't for Nan Bo Zhan's fear of the Li family's dissatisfaction, and making a fuss for a while, the Nan family might have delayed the handover for another two days - but this way, it would be more realistic.

But so far, the series of events that happened in the Nan family and the Li family have successfully avoided the existence of Ling Yao-this is more perfect than he imagined. What a lot of work.

This is all to gain the greatest benefit, or let Lin Tianyu completely target the Li family.Thinking of this, Ling Yao felt a little embarrassed.Don't look at the difference between Lin Tianyu and Ling Linhan, they get along like ducks in water, free and uninhibited, they have absolute initiative in every relationship, but they still can't escape the essence of being secretly used by others.

However, compared to Ling Linhan's kind of silly and sweet who thinks he is chivalrous and cute, Lin Tianyu probably doesn't care whether he is used or not, right?

After all, he is also a guy who is used to taking advantage of others.

"Don't think too much. That guy is purely self-made. And even Grandpa didn't expect the Li family to be so ruthless this time. They didn't even do superficial work, and just wiped him off. Too late. There is no need to take such a small role to heart."

Speaking of it, although Nan Bohong is a cheap brother, but on issues that do not involve interests, he still has some affection for his brother who was picked up halfway.At this time, he could still think that Ling Yao didn't grow up in the family.I'm afraid I'm not quite used to the intrigue and disregard for life among the aristocratic families. Maybe I never thought that Hu Fangtao would die because of this "small matter", so I deliberately explained a few words to him at the end.

However, to Ling Yao, "Nanbotu" is just a shell, and the core inside is Ling Yao who has even killed people in a world where the weak can eat the strong - obviously, such a person will not be justified by someone who doesn't open his eyes. There is too much guilt for dying and jumping into the hole you dug to cause death.

But Nan Bohong's attitude also reminded him.Perhaps in this world, his moral concepts are still too extreme and too indifferent in the eyes of ordinary people.

"...I see. I'm fine."

If he wants to be an "ordinary person" one day, some ideas do need to be changed.Only now...

He himself is still walking on thin ice to avoid the end of death, and if he makes a wrong move, he may fall into the abyss.It must be his normal state to treat those who are hostile and be careful about digging pits that volunteers take the bait.The path is chosen by these people themselves. He may neither encourage nor persecute, but he is not merciful enough to save a life in turn.

And if you have to bear a little guilt for this, it is also a reasonable thing.

"Did the Li family give any explanation?"

Ling Yao avoided the previous topic and asked instead.

"He died of illness. The same reason was reported to the Special Intelligence Bureau. He was speechless, and the medical records were falsified. It was clear that he didn't pay attention to the people from the Nan family and the Special Intelligence Bureau. Grandpa was very angry this time. Even Nanbo Zhan dared not persuade him. But it was only one person, and the Secret Service did not dare to do anything to the Li family for this. I just don’t know if there will be any action on the black market.”

Of course there will be action.Isn't the reason why this is happening this time is to make the black market "take action"?

How could such a proud person like Lin Tianyu endure the humiliation and killing of his "good brother" "benefactor" by his "enemy"?What's worth discussing is whether Lin Tianyu intends to be direct, or whether he's planning in a roundabout way.

"But after all, it has nothing to do with our Nan family. Let them tear it up by themselves. But then again, that kid is actually a alchemist, no wonder he is a bit arrogant. Recently I heard rumors that he relied on Ren Chongrong and With Chen Zhiyun's relationship, he became a special consultant in the city hospital, and even opened a small medical clinic outside. Are you still doing an internship in the city hospital? Be careful."

Chen Zhiyun is the vice president of their hospital, and he was also the one who was picked up by Lin Tianyu and treated halfway, and he fell in love with Lin Tianyu's medical skills.Ling Yao smiled and shook his head:

"I know. I won't provoke him if it's okay. But hearing your tone, do you regret not recruiting him in the first place?"

"I'm not, I'm not, I'm not that serious. I still recruited... I didn't recruit people in, I'm afraid it's almost the same because the ancestral grave is full of smoke. Just this big Buddha, will he work for me or I will pay for him when he comes here Playing tricks? I don’t even want this blessing.”

Nan Bohong immediately refused Sanlian,

"Grandpa also means the same thing. The Li family must be in trouble, and Nanbozhan can only admit that he is unlucky this time, heh. But Lin Tianyu and the Zhou family have no meaning to make friends. Cooperating with this kind of person, Either become his vassal, or become his nourishment."

Ling Yao wasn't sure if Nan Bohong figured it out on his own, or if Nan Guozhong simply meant it.But as long as the Nan family's policy is like this, it is enough.

He chatted with Nan Bohong again, pretending to ask casually:

"Speaking of which, what kind of friendship does the Nan family have with the Secret Service? Do you know if they really didn't act this time, or are they planning to do something behind the scenes?"

"These generations of the Nan family have never done anything that violates the taboo, and the well water on both sides does not violate the river water. Some things on the surface can still be known by the aristocratic family, but it is hard to say if it goes deeper. I advise you Don't inquire about their affairs, even if our Nan family is not afraid of them, they avoid too many things, and once they get involved, it will be very troublesome."

It seems that the situation of the Special Intelligence Bureau is not optimistic, and forces like the Nan family can't suppress it at all.But after all, there is a country as a backer, and the Nan family and other aristocratic families are not willing to have an enemy with them.Ling Yao thought about it, and felt that the bargaining chip in his hand might be a bit heavier than he imagined.

After hanging up the call, he had already arrived in front of Wu's Medical Center.As soon as he entered the door, the front desk stopped him:

"Excuse me sir, do you have an appointment? We need an appointment to register here."

Ling Yao froze for a moment, then shook his head:

"I came to see Mr. Wu Jinglong. I talked to him. Is he here now?"

When the apprentice at the front desk heard that the other party wanted to find Dr. Wu himself by name, he felt a little vigilant.Ever since Fengcheng came out with a miracle doctor surnamed Lin, and opened a small clinic in the street next to them, people always approached Dr. Wu to find out if Wu's medical clinic knew about the miracle doctor's medical skills of rejuvenation and resurrection—some of them were just curious , and some are clearly here to provoke trouble.

But the person in front of him is dignified, with a polite and polite attitude, maybe he is really Dr. Wu's guest.The apprentice judged people by their appearance, and asked Ling Yao to wait for a while before going to the backyard to call for someone.

After a while, Wu Jinglong came out with his disheveled hair, and without saying hello to Ling Yao, he grabbed the man's arm and walked in, making the apprentice look puzzled:

No, this doesn't look like hospitality, does it?

Ling Yao is very familiar with this state - isn't this what he looks like after spending a week in the laboratory in order to verify his research conclusions?

And really speaking, Wu Jinglong's appearance is much better than his original appearance.At the beginning, he was handing in the report with a mess of hair and two big dark circles under his eyes. Yu Huisheng almost jumped up and shouted, "Where are the monsters running!", and then he didn't even go out of the office, and fell asleep in the corridor He was so frightened that the juniors thought that he had heroically dedicated himself to the cause of medicine at the age of 23.

"This is the paper you wrote me. I have deciphered it. It is indeed a prescription!"

Although Wu Jinglong looked haggard, his eyes were full of brilliance.

"Many of the words on it are special symbols inherited from Qingyou Valley back then. I searched many old books before translating them all. It's no wonder that no one could understand what was written on it at the beginning. It's okay if you come to me this time. Find the right person!"

Ling Yao took the prescription that Wu Jinglong had deciphered, and read it carefully:

"There are a few medicines that are quite difficult to find. If I really want to make them, I'm afraid I have to ask for help. Can you see the specific effects of the medicine?"

Wu Jinglong seemed to be a little speechless about Ling Yao's behavior of thinking about how to do it without knowing the effect of the medicine, but when he heard Ling Yao's question, he couldn't help but look around first to make sure that the doors and windows of the room were indeed sealed. An outsider eavesdropped and said:

"I'm not completely sure, but the [-]% Qingyougu's prescription for the outer disciples to take the elixir before entering the school. This thing is not very useful for people with high talents. It can only be said that it is better than nothing; but for people with mediocre talents. Said, it is probably the key to whether they can cultivate their true energy. Of course, they really rely on eating this to enter the door, and they will probably be at the level of ninth and eighth in this life.

"When the Qingyou Valley was destroyed, many alchemy recipes were burned in the fire, and the others were swept away by the escaped disciples. After the war years, there was no one left. I never thought that one day, I would be able to see it with my own eyes. one pair."

Ling Yao was not surprised by the origin and function of this recipe - after all, the protagonist's tricks are not rare, and they are always somewhat related to the protagonist.But at this stage, this formula is indeed of no use to Lin Tianyu.He just raised his eyebrows, curious about Wu Jinglong's attitude:

"The alchemy formula in Qingyou Valley, the 'alchemist' probably has more than one pair? He talked to you the other day, and the result seems to be pretty good. Could it be that it didn't go well?"

Wu Jinglong hummed twice, and finally shook his head helplessly:

"It went very well. After this point, Wu's Medical Center can keep what they have learned and continue to inherit it, but the name has nothing to do with Qingyou Valley at all; Qingyou Valley will not support Wu's in the future, and will 'recognize their ancestors' He thinks that the Wu family has humiliated the lintel, but I can't wait for the name of leaving my ancestors, which is unclear and provocative, and I don't want to work with someone like him who is so adventurous. But since this is the case, I naturally can't be shy Face asked people to ask Dan Fang to see it."

It was a troubled time at this moment, no matter how much he indulged in Qingyou Valley's exquisite medical skills, he was unwilling to wade into the muddy water around Lin Tianyu, so he had no choice but to choose to be wise and safe.

Thinking about those cannon fodder characters in the protagonist's camp who only paved the way for the protagonist's explosion and ended up miserable like Hu Fangtao, Ling Yao felt that Wu Jinglong's decision was a wise move.

However, he is more concerned about whether the medicine can be produced.

Ninth and eighth ranks are indeed low-level among cultivators.But if the number accumulates to a certain level, it is also a very powerful fighting force.This Danfang can just add weight to his stepping stone.

"Yes! That's exactly what I mean. But it takes a lot of trial and error to determine the order and duration of the medicines. Ordinary medicines are nothing more than that. Those flavors...and..."

Wu Jinglong was eager to try, but in the middle of speaking, a little hesitation flashed across his face.

"Leave the medicinal materials to me. The biggest problem now is not this, but the experimenter, right?"

Wu Jinglong nodded.

"You make a batch first, and make sure there are not too many side effects. For the rest, I will find a way."

Formal testing of medicines to make finished products—not to mention Ling Yao himself, even mobilizing the power of the Nan family will consume a lot of money, manpower, and a long time.So Ling Yao didn't intend to make things directly at the beginning.

He only needs to have a sample with a certain effect, which can impress the people of the Secret Service, and then take the credit for the discoverer, and hand over everything to the top to do it.If only this is the case, the number of experimenters needed will be much less, and volunteers can be found.

Wu Jinglong agreed.In addition to helping Ling Yao benefit him, he is indeed quite interested in these strange and unknown researches—don't look at him and Wu Zifan and his son fighting all day long, like a conservative old stubborn, but in fact, they are actually very weak. They are also full of curiosity and love challenges.

No, thinking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao appeared as soon as he pushed the door.

"Master...brother...? Brother Nan? Why are you here??"

Wu Zifan watched Ling Yao come out of his father's study, his eyes stared like copper bells.

Although his senior brother has no prejudice against Chinese medicine, where is the identity of orthodox western medicine?His father is a stubborn old Chinese doctor who opposes Western medicine!The two of them can speak a few words in a calm manner, it's already great, and the father can still invite people to the house and study!That's like a sow climbing a tree and saying: "What are you looking at, what are you looking at!"

In short, when I think about it, it is very frustrating in all aspects.

At this time, Ling Yao also remembered what Wu Zifan said when he was pestering him to sell miserably, how Wu Jinglong did not support his study, and how he disliked Western medicine. It is no wonder that Wu Zifan looked confused at this time.However, Wu Jinglong's look of turning his head and ignoring people behind him was obviously trying to get the matter out of the way.

It's just that Wu Jinglong can put on airs as a father, but he can't.His eyes fluttered, and he said nonsense:

"Here, come to see the disease. Western medicine is not very useful, let's see if Chinese medicine can take care of it. It's still for your sake, so you can get an 'expert consultation'?"

Wu Zifan's face was covered with I believe you: "Oh. Now, look? What's wrong?" He looked at Ling Yao, and then turned to stare at his father.

"The patient's privacy cannot be revealed casually. You have been a doctor for so many years and still can't remember it!? If you want to know, ask him if he is happy!"

Wu Jinglong didn't look calm in front of Wu Zifan at all. He said "angry words" and quickly flung his sleeves away.Ling Yao felt quite embarrassed about being involved in other people's family affairs, so he said to himself:

"How about... I should leave earlier? Hahahaha..."

Wu Zifan couldn't tell that these two people wanted to hide it from him again, and now they had put on a half-smile expression, and stretched out their hands to Ling Yao:

"Senior brother, you went directly past me to find my father. Could it be that you don't trust my medical skills? As long as it's not some difficult and miscellaneous disease, I can see it. Brother, just test my level?"

Having said all this, it can be regarded as giving Ling Yao a step down, how can he have any reason to refuse?Ling Yao stretched out his arm reluctantly, and Wu Zifan stretched out three fingers to feel the pulse.

"Uh-hmm. Hmm...hmm? Ah! This pulse condition is smooth and not stagnant, so it is like a ball on a plate, and the dew of a lotus leaf, describing its shape of spinning lightly—"

Wu Zifan read in cadence, and Ling Yao immediately rolled his eyes:

"speak English."

"Why is it not a human language! This is the original text of other people's medical skills!"

Wu Zifan jumped on purpose, then rolled his eyes, and suddenly asked mysteriously,

"Brother, you have a slippery pulse! How long has it been since you had your period? Let me judge how many months you are pregnant..."

Snapped--

Then Wu Zifan was slapped on the head as a matter of course.

"Cough, cough...well, am I kidding, isn't it good to have a lively atmosphere? But your slippery pulse is real. A normal person's slippery pulse means that the camp and health are in harmony, and the qi and blood are full, so it's not a big problem. Look You are alive and kicking, at most you have a little food accumulation."

Wu Zifan rubbed his head,

"If you feel uncomfortable, it's probably because you've stayed up too late recently and didn't eat well. You can adjust your schedule and you'll be done. There's no need to prescribe any medicine. But I said, brother, you've been too busy recently. Are you planning to make up for all the leave you took before? It’s not necessary, those people in the hospital will not make things difficult for you, the Nan family, for such a trivial matter. Anyway, let’s take a rest.”

Ling Yao snorted twice, looked Wu Zifan up and down again, and said:

"Take care of yourself, brat. See where you're going with your outfit, right? It's been rough recently, whether it's in the hospital or outside the hospital. You'd better go out less. If you have this spare time, prepare to go Let's visit the teacher. He came to Fengcheng two days ago and is staying at my house temporarily."

Wu Zifan waved his hand:

"Understood. You are almost catching up with my father in your nagging, don't be close to the red ones and the black ones. Thank you for your news. I will visit Professor Yu in two days."

It seems that he has been pestering Ling Yao during this time, and it is not fruitless.At least now, Ling Yao is willing to take the initiative to reveal some information that he wanted to obtain at the beginning.

But the problem is, what he wants now has slowly changed.

Whether it's the so-called "Qingyougu" medical skills in the recent world, or the priceless medicinal pills circulating in the black market, they all hint to him that there are many secrets that he doesn't know about under the calm lake water of Fengcheng.

Exploring these secrets is far more fulfilling than leaving his hometown and going to the capital to study like a deserter.

It's a pity that Wu Jinglong didn't give him a chance, and Nan Botu didn't give him a chance either—as if this was a taboo he shouldn't touch.

But the more ignorant you are, the easier it is to feel panic in your heart; the more you are thwarted, the more attractive your goal will be.

So when the Huo family reached out to him and opened the door to the inner world to him, he couldn't find any reason to refuse.

I hope this trip will not disappoint him.

Ling Yao looked at Wu Zifan's back in a hurry and shook his head helplessly.

It's not a bad thing to get out of the way, but Wu Zifan's character is still too adventurous.

I hope that his future junior brother will not commit suicide...
