Liu Yifei looked up at Lin Fan in disbelief, and for a moment, he felt that the person standing in front of him was not a mere human, but more like a deity willing to grant favors to the world for free.

Liu Yifei's eyes reddened, he opened his mouth but couldn't find the words, feeling there was no vocabulary to express his gratitude. He silently made a decision in his heart: the men of the Medicine King Hall would be willing to serve Lin Fan for a lifetime!

"Get up." Lin Fan said again.

Liu Yifei nodded and slowly stood up, then waved and said, "Prepare seats for Mr. Lin and Miss Gu."

The two servants didn't dare to hesitate and quickly brought over redwood chairs.

Liu Houde looked at Lin Fan with affection, more intimate than seeing his own grandson, and said with a smile, "Divine Doctor Lin is not an outsider, besides, I know your mentor, let's just call you Lin."

"No problem." Lin Fan said carelessly.

"Lin, how is your mentor doing now?" Liu Houde asked with a smile.

"That old man is quite energetic every day, doing fine with nothing to do but go down the mountain to flirt with widows, living a good life." Lin Fan said lazily.

Back in the day when Lin Fan left the mountain, the old man was a famous handsome elder in the area. Many widows from the mountain base would come up with various reasons to invite him home for dinner. Whatever happened between them at home is unknown, but ever since, if a man in the area went away for a long time, he'd have someone keep an eye on his wife, afraid the old man would elope with her!

I remember one time when Lin Fan went downhill to a famous restaurant to buy wine, he found the old man rolling in bed with a renowned flirtatious widow from the town. When the old man returned, Lin Fan, who was quite young at the time, asked him if he enjoyed it, only to get beaten up.

Liu Houde showed a bit of envy and said, "There are not many people I admire in my life, and Elder Lin is one-tenth of them. When I saw him ten years ago, he was as fierce as a dragon or a tiger. I didn't expect him to still be as vigorous after ten years!"

Vigorous? Lin Fan sneered.

The last time with that widow, it only took ten minutes before he returned to the mountain. I bet this old man is at most a 'one-shot knock-out'!

Then Lin Fan gathered his thoughts and asked, "Elder Liu, you've been poisoned with Gu poison. You must know very well about this poison. Did you offend anyone recently?"

Liu Houde's old face showed some self-deprecation as he sighed deeply, seemingly aging many years all of a sudden.

"When I saw this bonsai, I felt something was wrong. But after so many years, I didn't expect they still held a grudge against me. I'm afraid as long as I live, this vendetta won't be resolved," Liu Houde said bitterly.

"Grandpa! At worst, we can hire more bodyguards to encircle the Medicine King Hall like an iron barrel. I don't believe a mere poisoner can break through the bodyguards' protection," Liu Yifei said fiercely, clenching his fists.

"Gu poison is mysterious and elusive. If they really want to act, even if you hire ten thousand bodyguards, you can't catch their tracks," Liu Houde said.

Lin Fan raised his eyebrows, feeling that this matter was not as straightforward as it seemed!

"Elder Liu, would you mind telling me about this?" Lin Fan asked.

"Lin isn't an outsider, so it won't hurt to know."

Liu Houde took a deep breath and showed a face of reminiscence, saying, "Back in the day when I first ventured into medicine with my father, I went to a distant place to practice medicine. By coincidence, I saved a wealthy person who had been poisoned with Gu by an enemy who hired a Miao Race expert to do it."

"Out of a kind heart, I tried to trace and capture this harmful Poisonous Insect Master. Although I was lucky to capture her, it turned out she was the Miao Race queen. Unwilling to face imprisonment, she took poison and committed suicide, vowing before her death that the Miao descendants would be enemies with me forever."

"I didn't expect that after more than twenty years, this hatred has not been diluted by time, but rather intensified."

Liu Houde sighed deeply, closed his eyes, and showed a worried face!

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei was furious and yelled, "Grandpa, at worst, I'll lead people to flatten the Miao Race. I refuse to believe they are stronger than bullets and cannons!"

"Outrageous!"

Liu Houde opened his eyes and shouted angrily.

It was the first time Liu Yifei had seen Liu Houde so angry, and he shrank his neck in fear.

"Once you enter the Martial World, you are beyond self-control. The grievances of the Martial World still need to be resolved there," Lin Fan said with a wry smile.

"As the Buddhist saying goes, 'If I don't enter hell, who will?' I've already prepared for death," Liu Houde said determinedly.

Lin Fan sighed and said nothing.

Then, Liu Houde said, "I promised your mentor that once the matter was done, I would give you what you wanted, Yifei, go get the item."

"Yes, Grandpa."

Liu Yifei didn't dare to hesitate and quickly left the room.

Lin Fan's eyes lit up. The main reason he came this time was to obtain this item related to enhancing power.

In about three minutes, Liu Yifei returned to the room, holding a wooden box in his hands, and handed it to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan's eyes were filled with excitement. After opening it, inside the wooden box was an invitation letter.

Lin Fan raised his eyebrows in confusion, unsure of what it meant.

Liu Houde said, "This was sent by someone from an auction ten days ago, saying a mysterious gemstone brought from abroad has arrived, rumored to have the ability to enhance a Qi Gong Master's Powerful Qi like a consecrated Buddhist statue, though the truth of this is unknown."

"An auction? When is it?" Lin Fan asked urgently.

"Tonight at midnight, on the 'Diamond One' anchored at the seaside," Liu Houde answered.

Lin Fan frowned, feeling that this gemstone was quite mysterious. Moreover, the auction daring to invite someone as reputable as Liu Houde must mean that there are rare treasures among the items for sale!

Lin Fan checked the time and said, "Elder Liu, it's getting late. Please rest well. I will be on my way now."

"Very well, that gemstone should be very important to you, but at this auction, many powerful figures from abroad have also come. Be careful," Liu Houde advised kindly.

Lin Fan nodded, gave Liu Yifei instructions to take care of Liu Houde, and then hurriedly left the "Medicine King Hall."

As soon as Lin Fan opened the car door, Gu Qingcheng immediately sat in the passenger seat.

"Why are you getting in?" Lin Fan said in a deep voice.

"Anyway, I'm already your person. Wherever you go, I'll follow," Gu Qingcheng said coyly.

"Where I'm going is not a playful place. It could easily turn into a big fight, and it's uncertain if I'll return. Are you going with me to die?" Lin Fan said.

"If I die, then so be it. If we can't be together alive, we'll be together in death," Gu Qingcheng said stubbornly.

Lin Fan gave an exasperated roll of his eyes. It seemed that unless this woman experienced it firsthand, she wouldn't give up.

So, Lin Fan chose not to waste any more words and drove to the riverside!

Though it was midnight, the riverside was still lively. A luxurious ship was moored at the shore, and faintly, shadows could be seen moving on the decks. The ship kept sounding its horn with "woo woo woo" noises!

Vroom vroom vroom~

Just as Lin Fan stopped the car steadily, the sound of engines started, and a row of cars slowly parked under the 'Diamond One' gangway.

A line of black-dressed bodyguards quickly formed a tight guard around the Mercedes in the middle, from which a middle-aged man with a curved mustache slowly alighted!

"East Asian Little Devils? What are they doing here?" Lin Fan frowned, full of doubts!

It seemed this auction was sure to be tumultuous, turning into a night of bloodshed!
