This was a very strange seed, which looked extremely hard, yet the ends were somewhat soft. Ling Zhenfei had read ancient agricultural texts but had never come across such an odd seed, uncertain of its origin or to which plant it belonged.

Ling Zhenfei secured the seed, planning to plant it upon returning to his villa to see what kind of peculiar seed was venerated inside the bronze artifact.

At that moment, Bai Ling rushed in from outside the door. After having escorted Ling Zhenfei in, Bai Ling had gone to handle some matters in the yard. It seemed that everything was now settled.

"How did it go?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

"All the security guards at the gate were knocked unconscious, such idiots. They couldn't even handle such a simple task," Bai Ling said with a face full of anger.

"What about those two men? How did Tu Gang deal with them?"

"Those two are dead, and Tu Gang has already been handed over to the police station," Bai Ling spoke lightly, which startled Ling Zhenfei.

"The police have been here?"

"Yes, a female officer with two subordinates came. They've already taken away the bodies and the man," Bai Ling didn't understand why Ling Zhenfei was worried.

"Are you sure those who came were really police officers?" Ling Zhenfei, having been deceived twice already, was slightly concerned.

"You're worried about taking blame, aren't you? Don't worry, there's no problem. Those officers didn't even ask about the details. They just spoke a few words and took the people away, seeming even more hurried than us," Bai Ling said with a laugh.

Ling Zhenfei had a vague sense of understanding, "Was that female officer with a ponytail, sharp chin, standing up straight, but walking with a bit of a sway?"

Bai Ling said in surprise, "How did you know that? It's as if you've seen her yourself?"

Ling Zhenfei immediately realized that the person who took away the bodies and Tu Gang was not a police officer at all, but rather Zhang Ying, dressed in a police uniform. Zhang Ying was truly formidable; daring to come back under such circumstances and whisk away her own people was a masterstroke.

"Let them take them, it saves trouble," Ling Zhenfei also let go of his concerns. If real police officers had come, killing two people might have caused him a lot of issues. Now Zhang Ying had perfectly settled everything in an effort to erase the evidence, sparing him the hassle.

But with Zhang Ying taking Tu Gang away, he would surely inform her of his grave injuries. Zhang Ying would certainly act again. However, it was already too late. Ling Zhenfei, having been deceived and suffered a loss before, would naturally not make the same mistake twice.

"How are your injuries?" Bai Ling asked Ling Zhenfei with concern.

"I need to rest for a few days to heal, but I can't seem to raise any Northern Spiritual Energy, which makes these days quite bothersome," Ling Zhenfei felt slightly frustrated. His injuries were not a major problem, as resting would naturally allow the Spiritual Power in his body to heal him. However, the side effects from taking the Riming Flower temporarily prevented him from utilizing his Spiritual Power. Without Spiritual Power, he couldn't treat Xiao Kunkun's illness, which was the real trouble.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Bai Ling asked Ling Zhenfei.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Zhenfei said, "I might not be able to treat Xiao Kunkun for the next few days. If this gets out, public opinion online will definitely be fierce. We should both be vigilant and, by the way, contact Lin Yi and keep him busy."

"Don't worry, we can definitely handle it. But when will your injuries heal so you can treat Xiao Kunkun? The internet is really focused on these matters right now." Although Bai Ling said it casually, her eyes clearly showed concern.

"I already have an understanding of Xiao Kunkun's illness. In the next two days, I will attempt to treat him. However, due to the condition of my body, it will probably be very difficult. I'll find a way." Even though he couldn't use Spiritual Power, Ling Zhenfei could still try acupuncture and other methods to probe the shadow in Kun Kun's Dantian.

"By the way, who were those people anyway, and why did they attack you so viciously? And were those two really killed by you?" Bai Ling suddenly remembered the incident in the yard and asked Ling Zhenfei incredulously.

In Bai Ling's eyes, Ling Zhenfei was merely a doctor with superior Medical Arts, so much so that he was called the Divine Doctor. He had also fought the Local Snake at the Provincial City Train Station square and had some fighting skills, but Bai Ling had never entertained the idea that he could kill someone.

"Indeed, those were international Assassins. Someone paid money for my head, but luckily I have a strong life and they didn't finish me off," Ling Zhenfei said with a slight smile.

After hearing this, Bai Ling also laughed, "You managed to survive because I stepped in just in time. Remember that you owe me your life, and make sure you repay it in the future."

Although Bai Ling said it as a joke, Ling Zhenfei was still taken aback. He hadn't expected to owe Bai Ling his life so easily. Considering the circumstances, if Bai Ling hadn't knocked Tu Gang down with her stick, he might have been killed by Tu Gang's dagger.

"Alright, I owe you one, and I will repay you even if it means working like an ox or a horse in the future."

Hearing this, Bai Ling burst into laughter, "You said it, no going back on your word now." She was extremely happy, her big eyes rolling around, thinking up some scheme. She had always been somewhat mischievous and a bit domineering; who knew what was going through her mind.

For some reason, Ling Zhenfei felt sleepy. He chatted idly with Bai Ling and, before he knew it, he drifted off to sleep. Without the support of his Spiritual Power, he was just too exhausted. He didn't know how long he had slept, but when he woke up, he was surprised to find Bai Ling had stayed by his side the whole time, even falling asleep at the edge of the bed.

Internally, Ling Zhenfei was stunned. Bai Ling, a rich heiress like her and certainly not the type to look after someone, had taken care of him all the way from Binyang to Modu. Now that he was injured, Bai Ling had stayed by his bedside the entire time, which was incredibly touching.

"Bai Ling, Bai Ling!"

Ling Zhenfei woke Bai Ling, who looked at him sleepily and said, "Why did you wake up so soon? You should have slept a little longer."

"It doesn't matter if I sleep or not. On the other hand, why didn't you go to sleep? Look, you've got dark circles under your eyes," Ling Zhenfei said, feeling a bit heartbroken.

"Nonsense, I'm not that delicate. How are you feeling, any better?" Bai Ling stood up and stretched, displaying her perfect figure in front of Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei assessed his condition. The wound on his back had healed a bit, and though it still hurt, it no longer affected his walking. However, he still couldn't mobilize the Northern Spiritual Energy inside his body. The side effects of the Riming Flower were truly severe; he had no idea when they would subside.
