Hengzhou City Fuchun Hall is quite a large pharmacy, with a full range of medicinal herbs. The pharmacy has a resident doctor who also gives pulse diagnosis and prescribes medicine, and that person is Lin Qingshuang.

Lin Qingshuang usually only sits in the hall during the day, but today, after dinner, she specially came back. When He Kao entered, he saw this senior sitting in the usual consultation spot, with a wrist pillow on the desk in front of her.

He Kao stepped forward to greet her, and Lin Qingshuang waved her hand, saying, "Not here, follow me inside to talk." Then she called to the shop assistant, "Make a cup of Chonghe Drink for this gentleman."

The shop assistant was a bit puzzled, as the Chonghe Drink was a special tea concocted by the owner, meant to alleviate exhaustion from overwork. This young man looked quite robust, what had he been up to these past few days?

Lin Qingshuang led He Kao to a room at the back, which was arranged like an office of some leader. Against the inside wall was a work desk, with a window to the left and an incense table against the right wall, with a sofa and a coffee table opposite it.

The shop assistant brewed a cup of tea and brought it in, closing the door behind him. Then Lin Qingshuang deliberately locked the door, turning back to ask, "Your condition seems off, what's going on?"

He Kao: "During the long holiday, I worked overtime for four consecutive days."

Lin Qingshuang: "Does overtime also wear out muscles and bones? You look like you've not just been staying up late and working overtime, but as if you've been in a boxing match, fighting for twelve rounds."

No matter which sect's technique, they all have their merits. Lin Qingshuang immediately saw that his physical condition was abnormal.

He Kao: "My overtime work isn't just mental, but also physical. On-site data testing requires me to wear virtual reality goggles and walk around the room countless times, after a day, my legs are wiped out, and I often get bumps and bruises.

Today, I couldn't reach Old Qian no matter what, I got worried, so I made 200 copies of that material, printing and binding it just before coming to see you, really exhausted me."

Lin Qingshuang: "The injuries on your face, are they from bumps and bruises during overtime too?"

He Kao had bruises on his cheeks and at the corner of his eyes. Before he came, he tried his best to deal with them, making them not too noticeable, but how could he hide them from Lin Qingshuang's eyes?

He Kao: "Not at all! Last night, some people were setting off firecrackers outside, making it impossible for the town's residents to sleep. I went out to have a look and found two guys who had drunk too much. I tried persuading them to stop, resulting in a bit of a conflict.

Actually, I won the fight, so it's not a big deal... Senior, you've seen the electronic version of the materials I sent on the way, right? This is the original, and here's a printed backup copy."

Lin Qingshuang: "I've already seen the electronic version you sent, let me have a look at the original too."

She took the original material He Kao brought, sat by the coffee table, and flipped through it page by page. After finishing, she looked up and said, "Xiao Kao, do you trust me?"

He Kao quickly nodded, "Of course I trust you, otherwise why would I come running to find you?"

Lin Qingshuang: "Then leave this original with me. I will take it directly to see Gu Yunteng and demand the person face to face."

He Kao exclaimed in surprise, "Ah?"

This senior has such a straightforward temper, she likes to handle things so directly!

Lin Qingshuang: "There's no need to be so shocked. Sometimes the simplest way is the most effective, and this is also best for you.

The original material is with me, and I'll show it to Gu Yunteng in person. With this, it has nothing to do with you. Even if he wants to play tricks, there's no need to target you anymore."

He Kao: "But, but Old Qian is already out of contact, I suspect something happened to him. If this matter is related to Gu Yunteng, it's because of this material. I'm afraid you might also be in danger."

Lin Qingshuang snorted coldly, "He doesn't have the guts or the ability to make a move on me."

He Kao: "Well... I think it's better to be cautious."

Lin Qingshuang smiled, "I'm from the Magic Sect too, not a fool. Didn't you send me an electronic version? Before I meet him, I will forward the materials to the Magic Sect's Hall of Sect Rules, telling them what has happened and what I intend to do.

When I see Gu Yunteng, I will also tell him not to think about taking chances or making the wrong moves. I've already sent the material he's looking for to the Hall of Sect Rules, and I'm here to ask for the person."

"I see..." He Kao breathed a slight sigh of relief, then realized and asked, "Does that mean Gu Yunteng is also a member of the Magic Sect, and he knows Old Qian?"

Lin Qingshuang: "More than just acquaintances. Gu Yunteng is from the Qi Observation Sect and is a direct uncle in the sect to Qian Guran. If something happened to Qian Guran in Qi Yuan, even if I didn't go to him, the Qi Observation Sect would inquire."

The so-called direct uncle in the sect means that Qian Guran's master and Gu Yunteng were taught by the same mentor. Qian Guran's master has passed away, and his relationship with Gu Yunteng is among the closest in the Magic Sect.

He Kao: "They actually have this layer of relationship! Senior, do you think it's possible that Gu Yunteng did it? Can you really find Old Qian like this?"

Lin Qingshuang sighed, "Maybe, maybe not; perhaps yes, perhaps no. Gu Yunteng is just a suspect; without concrete evidence, I can't conclude anything.

If Qian Guran is really missing, and he can't deliver the person, while firmly denying involvement, the Magic Sect will investigate. In any case, coming to me was the smartest and correct choice.

Once you hand over the material to me, it has nothing to do with you anymore. It's not something you can intervene in.

Let's hope it's just a false alarm. Sorcerers sometimes enter seclusion for cultivation, and it's normal not to reach them during the holidays. Maybe, by then, Qian Guran will come back to work on his own."
