Urban Martial Saint

The invitation contained nothing else but these three characters, no wonder Ye Qing was so surprised, even Lin Tianyou was stunned.

”Divine Doctor’s Order?” Lin Tianyou asked curiously, ”What is this thing?”

Ye Qing shook his head as this was the first time he had seen such a thing. He hadn’t even heard of it before. However, his intuition told him that this thing was definitely not simple. Moreover, it appeared at his and Lin Tianyou’s feet, suggesting that someone deliberately left it for them.

But who exactly left it? Was it the old man or Hou Yuewen? Regardless of who left it, the person could leave these invitations without anyone noticing, which shows their capabilities aren’t ordinary. But what was the purpose of leaving these two invitations?

”It should be from those two people just now, right? Why don’t we go over and ask them?” Lin Tianyou asked.

Ye Qing said, ”I’ll go, you should rest first, you still have to see those patients tomorrow.”

”Oh, that’s fine.” Lin Tianyou handed the Divine Doctor’s Order he was holding to Ye Qing, saying, ”If you can’t find them, go ask those soldiers at the entrance; they should know in which room each doctor stays.”

Ye Qing nodded, took the Divine Doctor’s Order, and left Lin Tianyou’s room. Earlier, he had already memorized the room each doctor was staying in, so there was no need to ask those soldiers, and he headed directly to Hou Yuewen’s room.

After knocking on the door, there was no response from inside. Ye Qing was slightly surprised, and when he pushed the door, it surprisingly opened right away; it had only been half-closed.

Upon entering the room, he saw it was empty; Hou Yuewen was not inside.

Ye Qing was surprised at heart. After Hou Yuewen left earlier, did he not return to his room? Where did he go?

Unable to find Hou Yuewen, Ye Qing turned around and went to Bai Li Xi’s room. However, the situation there was exactly the same as Hou Yuewen’s, as Bai Li Xi was also not in the room.

This situation made Ye Qing suddenly feel a sense of alertness. Both of them left one after another just now, and now neither is in their room, which naturally raises suspicion. These two definitely have a problem, but where exactly have they gone? Could it be that they have already run away?

With that thought, Ye Qing didn’t hesitate any longer, went straight to the soldiers guarding outside, and informed them that two doctors were missing.

In such an environment, it would be difficult for Ye Qing to find them by himself; it would be better to have these soldiers involved in the search.

Upon hearing Ye Qing’s words, the soldiers dared not delay and immediately dispatched personnel to search each room for the two men, while also pulling out surveillance footage from around the premises to find them.

Before they could finish searching the rooms, the surveillance footage uncovered something first. However, the findings from the surveillance shocked everyone.

Ye Qing was with those soldiers, so he also saw the footage. In the video, Hou Yuewen and Bai Li Xi were walking out of the dormitory building, one after the other, exiting through the main door. The most crucial point was, there were soldiers guarding the entrance of the dormitory. Yet, as these two walked past the guarding soldiers, the soldiers didn’t react at all, as if they didn’t see them.

”What’s going on here?” The team leader turned to the soldiers who were previously at the entrance and asked, ”Didn’t you see them exit through the door?”

The soldiers looked at each other, then shook their heads. One of them said, ”Captain, we really didn’t see anything. Tonight, no one went out!”

”No one went out? Then explain this to me, how do you account for what happened?” the captain pointed at the screen.

The soldiers all looked puzzled. They indeed hadn’t seen anything. Yet, the video clearly showed Hou Yuewen and Bai Li Xi walking out right in front of them. Moreover, their eyes were fixated straight ahead, seemingly oblivious to the two persons.

”Is…is this haunting?” a soldier muttered under his breath.

”Nonsense!” the captain retorted angrily, ”What age are we living in? Still talking about superstitious things like ghosts? How could there be ghosts? You few, explain to me, what is happening here!”

These soldiers couldn’t explain at all. If not for seeing this surveillance footage, they wouldn’t even be aware of such a matter.

Ye Qing frowned; he clearly saw that when Hou Yuewen and Bai Li Xi were about to reach the exit, they subtly shook their hands toward the guarding soldiers, as if scattering something. Afterward, they casually strolled out through the entrance, completely unconcerned with the guards, as if they knew the guards wouldn’t see them.

”Captain, can you help me get in touch with Su Kaicheng, Mr. Su?” Ye Qing suddenly asked.

”Is it necessary to trouble Mr. Su with such an issue?” The captain hesitated for a moment and then said, ”Or maybe they just went for a walk, I can send some more people to look around?”

”Still, best to contact Mr. Su,” Ye Qing said, ”I have something I want to discuss with him.”

Seeing Ye Qing insist, the captain didn’t obstruct and directly had someone contact Su Kaicheng. It didn’t take long before Su Kaicheng hurried over.

”What happened?” Su Kaicheng asked curiously. He had been injured today and was resting early. Upon receiving the call, he knew something must have happened with Ye Qing, so he rushed over.

”Elder Brother Su, there’s something I’d like your help with,” Ye Qing said softly, ”Can you help me investigate the backgrounds of two individuals?”

”Which two people?” Su Kaicheng asked curiously.

”One is called Hou Yuewen, and the other’s name I don’t know, but they’re staying in Number Seven room over there,” Ye Qing said.

”You want to investigate the backgrounds of these doctors?” Su Kaicheng looked at Ye Qing in surprise and asked, ”What happened?”

Ye Qing recounted what had happened, then said in a deep voice, ”The fact that these two people could leave under so many people’s eyes makes me suspect they used a type of mesmerizing medicine that put these soldiers’ senses into a temporary rest. As a result, they walked out of the entrance without the soldiers seeing them!”

”There’s such mesmerizing medicine?” Su Kaicheng exclaimed; he had only heard about such things.

Ye Qing didn’t know about these things either until he saw records of such mesmerizing medicine in the Acupoint Seeking Technique. Seeing the soldiers’ situation earlier, Ye Qing immediately thought of this kind of medicine, which led him to suspect the identities of those two doctors.

In the records of the Acupoint Seeking Technique, this kind of mesmerizing medicine was said to be a unique formula of Divine Doctor An Shiping, not even recorded in the Acupoint Seeking Technique. In other words, if someone could use this kind of medicine, they must have some connection to Divine Doctor An Shiping. At present, those related to Divine Doctor An Shiping include only King Yan Ning Qianshu and Ning Qianshu’s apprentices. Therefore, Ye Qing suspected those two people were likely disciples of Ning Qianshu.

Ye Qing had profound enmity with Ning Qianshu’s lineage, as Ning Qianshu’s disciples were always trying to kill him. However, things had calmed down slightly on Ning Qianshu’s side recently. He hadn’t expected to encounter Ning Qianshu’s disciples tonight, making Ye Qing have to be vigilant.

Su Kaicheng said, ”Those two doctors were invited here by others; you hold on here a moment, I’ll contact General Li to assist in investigating. It will be simpler that way.”

With Su Kaicheng getting involved, handling the matter became easier. After receiving Su Kaicheng’s call, Li Yanwu came down personally. Meanwhile, the soldiers had searched all around without finding the two, causing the captain to finally start panicking.

Learning about such an incident, Li Yanwu was also surprised. He primarily concerned himself with matters concerning the patients and hadn’t anticipated issues with the doctors before any significant problems emerged with the patients.

Li Yanwu immediately summoned the people who had invited these two doctors. When they heard that the doctors they invited were missing, they were also surprised. Upon Li Yanwu’s inquiry, they wasted no time in revealing the identities of these two doctors. They were reputed doctors with renowned medical skills, hence they were invited to address the current issue. These doctors were well-known across various regions, known for their medical expertise, which is why they were invited to handle this situation. Considering this, they should not be disciples of Ning Qianshu. Yet, what exactly was going on here?

Realizing the situation, Ye Qing didn’t hesitate. ”Can we contact their families?”

”Why contact their families?” asked a man. ”According to the surveillance, no one left the building during this period.”

”It’s not possible!” both men shook their heads firmly, with one saying, ”How can we be wrong when we’ve seen it with our own eyes?”

”Exactly!” Li Yanwu concurred, glancing at Ye Qing with surprise, ”Checking with the families will only cause them unnecessary worry.”

Su Kaicheng, even though he shared the same thoughts as Li Yanwu, didn’t discourage Ye Qing’s suggestion, asking, ”Why do you want to contact these doctors’ families?”

”I just wanted to see if those two doctors were imposters,” Ye Qing replied softly.
