Traditionelle Chinesische Medizin - Kapitel 100
Nangong Xue shook her head: "He has already arrived."
.
A white figure suddenly appeared at the entrance.
Yang Nianqing exclaimed, "Why are you back?!"
Li You stood at the door, looking somewhat tired, as if he had rushed back. Qiu Bailu's Nanshan Formation was not close, so what could have made him suddenly return?
Nangong Xue slowly stood up, her expression still calm, and quietly looked at him without saying a word.
An eerie silence. (7b)
Li You finally let out a soft breath: "I'm back."
"I know." (cc)
"I didn't go to the Nanshan Formation."
"You went to inquire about something." (Smiles)
Beneath his long eyelashes, a look of shame appeared: "Brother Nangong did not live in Nangong Villa when he was young. He was only brought back by Master Nangong when he was ten years old."
Nangong Xue smiled but remained silent.
Li You paused for a long time, and said with great difficulty, "Six or seven years is enough time for a child's appearance to change a lot."
Nangong Xue nodded: "That's right."
Li You then fell silent, staring intently at him, a rare look of sadness and sorrow appearing in his usually long and bright eyes.
.
Suddenly, he turned to look at Magistrate Cao: "Back then, Liu Ru and Tang Jingfeng framed the Tao family. The court sent Senior Cao to be in charge of this matter. I imagine that you must have been very cautious back then."
Judge Cao nodded: "Indeed, in addition to the thousand imperial guards and fifty thousand rockets assigned by the higher authorities, I have also requested the assistance of thirty-two imperial guards. I am confident that everything is foolproof."
Such a force is more than enough. No matter how powerful Tao Clan is, it is just a Jianghu sect with only a little over a hundred people, not to mention the elderly, weak, women and children.
Li You sighed, "No matter how meticulous your actions were, you never expected that one child would still escape."
Judge Cao's face immediately turned pale.
Nangong Xue simply listened to him speak quietly.
"Back then, Master Tao had a pair of child prodigies known as 'Snow, Jade, Frost, and Ice,' who could memorize anything they read at the age of three. They were twin brothers, and the older brother was named Tao Xue."
As he spoke, Li You looked at him and smiled slightly: "Brother Nangong, are you not truly blessed with a photographic memory?"
Nangong Snow.
Tao Xue.
Yang Nianqing felt her heart slowly cooling down.
Magistrate Cao murmured, "No wonder...it looks so much like it..."
Li You looked at him and shook his head: "Senior has never dared to make this public, but I wonder what method Senior used when identifying the body? No one noticed any flaws." (45)
Judge Cao remained silent, his face pale.
When he discovered that one of the officially designated corpses was missing, was he also terrified? To escape punishment and to protect his family, a man like him would think of any method and do anything.
.
Silence always makes time seem exceptionally long.
Nangong Xue finally looked at Li You and smiled: "That's right, I am Tao Xue."
Rockets filled the sky, accompanied by the sounds of fighting, screams, and splattering blood. A father's grief-stricken eyes and a mother's desperate cries echoed through the air. A child, not yet four years old, fled in terror. Betrayed by a friend, Tao's family was reduced to ashes overnight. He lost all his loved ones, survived, but was left with only his life.
Fortunately, he met Nangong Yu, the owner of Nangong Villa.
Nangong Xue sighed: "It wasn't until I was ten years old that my adoptive father took me back to the villa. He only told others that I was his biological daughter. He was afraid that I would seek revenge, so he asked me if I was willing to have my meridians destroyed. I agreed."
Such a prodigy should have achieved great success in martial arts, but he was unable to cultivate internal energy, which was a source of regret for everyone in the martial arts world. Unexpectedly, it turned out that all the meridians in his body had been destroyed by Nangong Yu himself.
He Bi said, "He is protecting you."
Nangong Xue nodded, her voice tinged with sadness: "If the court knew about this, they would certainly not let me off the hook. My adoptive father crippled my meridians, yet he still sighed and grieved until his death. I do not blame him."
True martial arts masters deeply respect martial arts. Encountering a child prodigy is an extremely rare occurrence. It would be very difficult for Nangong Yu to personally turn such a child into a cripple.
However, it was all a coincidence. Cao Tongpan did not dare to make a fuss at the time and tried to cover it up. Therefore, the court did not know about it and did not order an arrest. He cleared himself of his guilt, but just so happened to save Nangong Xue's life.
.
“You promised Master Nangong, but you didn’t do it.”
Nangong Xue remained silent.
Li You suddenly looked at him and smiled: "I remember that I first met Brother Nangong because of the Ping An Escort Agency case. Five hundred taels of silver were stolen. At that time, Lao He and I had not yet found out what happened. The creditors came to our door, and Chief Escort Wang was so anxious that he wanted to commit suicide. It was I who came up with the idea to ask him to beg you, which caused you to lose five hundred taels of silver."
From then on, the three people with completely different personalities became close friends.
Nangong Xue smiled, but her smile revealed an even deeper sorrow: "Although I lost money, I made two friends, so it's not too bad."
"Regardless, I, He Bi, have no regrets about having a friend like you." He said coldly.
The moment they saw this handsome young man, with his gentle and kind smile and the genuine compassion in his eyes, they knew he was someone they could be friends with.
Nangong Xue nodded: "Thank you."
Memories shared between friends are always beautiful.
Bright, melancholic, indifferent, and detached eyes were now filled with knowing smiles, and even the surrounding air seemed to warm up for some reason.
In that instant, Yang Nianqing felt as if something was stuck in her chest. The old magistrate Cao, standing beside her, also looked somewhat somber; was he thinking of his old friend?
However, time does not always remain in memory; eventually, everything returns to reality.
The expressions on each face gradually dimmed.
finally--
The air froze.

Li You said softly, "Brother Nangong has never enjoyed killing. Now, in order to avenge himself, he has killed so many innocent people. Is it really worth it?"
Nangong Xue smiled slightly.
“Since it has already happened, whether it was worth it or not is no longer important,” he turned to the side, his gaze shifting to the window, his emotions unreadable. “I killed them and moved their bodies into my Nangong Villa.”
The Nangong Villa was heavily guarded. Apart from a master of lightness skills like Li You, no one could possibly bring a corpse in unnoticed, except for one person: Nangong Xue.
Isn't it easy to put things in your own home?
"You were the one who looked for Zhang Mingchu that night, but little did you know that Liu Yanyan was right next door."
Nangong Xue nodded. (7f)
Just in case, he ordered Hei Silang to kill someone to cover it up, but Hei Silang mistook her for someone else and mistakenly killed her twin sister Zhao Xiaochun. Liu Yanyan did not recognize his voice at the time, and by the time she realized it, it was too late to say anything.
Li You said sadly, "I should have realized that Lao Hei owed you a favor. In any case, I am grateful that you let him go, but you shouldn't have killed Yao'er and the others."
Countless people in the martial arts world owe Nangong Xueqing a debt of gratitude, and Hei Silang owes him one, which is why he killed for him. No wonder Hei Silang repeatedly begged them not to investigate further, because the murderer was their best friend, a friend worth protecting with his life.
In the end, Hei Shilang was able to leave in peace only because Nangong Xue personally returned the sword to him and told him to go.
Only Nangong Xue could make a move when Madam Leng, Jianghu Yao, and Tang Kesi were completely unprepared. Although he had no martial arts skills, he was skilled with a sword, and more importantly, he was quick to strike.
.
"You're the one looking for Madam Ye."
"That night I went to see her, only to ask her for my help, but I didn't expect to be discovered by Young Master Tang."
It turns out that the person Tang Keyou met that night was him.
The truth about the Tao family incident was so closely guarded that if he hadn't gone to see Madam Ye, how would she have known? And if he hadn't told her himself, how would Madam Ye have believed him so easily?
Madam Ye protected him until her death because he was Tao Huayu's son and the only heir of the Tao family.
She understood that although Nangong Xue wouldn't harm her children, things might change if she continued to get involved. That's why she forced the two siblings to swear to never have anything to do with anyone again.
Nangong Xue didn't make the move, but Tang Kesi came looking for him unexpectedly. The poor, innocent, and lively girl never imagined, until her death, that the person who harmed her would be her beloved Nangong brother. She didn't know that Nangong Xue could never love her, because in his heart, she was merely the daughter of his enemy, whose father had caused his family's ruin.
.
silence.
He Bi suddenly looked up: "Old Master Situ died first, and then he asked Madam Ye to kill Tang Jingfeng."
Li You nodded: "Yes."
"Only Madam Ye knows the Ten Thousand Poison Blood Palm."
"yes."
"He didn't kill the person."
Li You sighed and said nothing more.
Nangong Xue shook her head, but her eyes showed gratitude.
He Bi is not a "god," otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to exonerate his friend. As long as there is even the slightest possibility that Nangong Xue has been wronged, he will investigate to the end.
Li You looked at Nangong Xue: "You destroyed their bodies, so although we knew there was an important clue, we never understood what it was."
Nangong Xue nodded: "Because that's not the Myriad Poison Blood Palm at all."
Everyone was stunned.
