CHAPTER 1030: CHAPTER 1032: DIVINE DOCTOR XUE IN LIN COUNTY

"Xiao’er, you’re absolutely right, the whereabouts of that Divine Doctor Xue aren’t something anyone can easily know. You’re quite capable, truly impressive."

Xiaoxiao spoke, even giving a thumbs up, though she was not too fond of this person, she still had to butter him up.

Xiao’er was in a good mood, so he certainly talked more.

Sure enough, Xiao’er was basking in the praise from Xiaoxiao, and in a voice only audible to those at Xiaoxiao’s table, he said mysteriously, "That Divine Doctor Xue, he’s in Lin County now."

"Lin County?" Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, but more skeptically.

They had just come from Lin County, had they missed Divine Doctor Xue?

"Xiao’er, can you be more specific? How do you know he’s in Lin County? Are you sure?"

"I’m sure, my relative just came from over there in Lin County and said he saw Divine Doctor Xue selling medicine, medicine that specifically treats difficult and complicated diseases, one bottle costs one or two Silver, quite expensive. My relative even bought a bottle and showed it off to me, can’t be wrong."

"..." The famed Divine Doctor Xue selling medicine? Specializing in difficult diseases? To her, it sounded like he was a Jianghu swindler.

"Xiao’er, you’re not tricking me, are you? Such a famous person like Divine Doctor Xue, openly selling medicine? Besides, I heard he’s not treating people anymore."

As soon as Xiao’er heard his words being doubted, he immediately said, "I’m not tricking you, my relative indeed said that. If you don’t believe it, I can take you to ask him."

"Divine Doctor Xue indeed isn’t treating people anymore. I heard from my relative that he’s been refusing all who seek his help, just focusing on selling medicine, which he seems to be selling a lot of, probably earning a fortune."

Xiao’er spoke with a look of envy, jealousy, and spite, continuing to say, "Even if he’s not treating patients, he still has to make a living, right? Doesn’t he have to eat? You guys should hurry to Lin County to see for yourselves, before Divine Doctor Xue leaves!"

Xiaoxiao figured that Xiao’er probably couldn’t provide more useful information, so she said, "Well, thank you, Xiao’er, we’ll be heading to Lin County soon, please bring our food first."

"Got it!" Xiao’er agreed and ran to the kitchen to order the food.

After Xiao’er left, the few people sat there waiting for their food.

Xiaoxiao was contemplating, although she felt Xiao’er was quite unreliable, it would still be worth checking out Lin County.

Originally, they planned to head directly back to Shanshi County, but on second thought, going back to Lin County wasn’t too bad either. It would be a good chance to check out the Grand Theater and see if Shitou and his mother had arrived.

Having made up her mind, Xiaoxiao looked at Yang Ming and said, "Husband, let’s head back to Lin County first. It’s better to be safe than sorry, in case Divine Doctor Xue really is there, we should go take a look."

"Mm!"

"It’s a perfect opportunity to check out the Grand Theater and the Escort Agency."

"Mm!"

"Also, we can see if Shitou and his mother have arrived at the Grand Theater. Given the time, they should have."

"Mm!"

Xiaoxiao was bewildered by Yang Ming’s three consecutive ’Mm’s. What was up with him, why was he so down?

Could it be because the news about Divine Doctor Xue was unreliable, making him feel down? That seemed unlikely, they had faced everything like this along the way.

"Husband, let’s just go with the flow on this matter."

"Mm!"

"..."

With An’an present, Xiaoxiao couldn’t say much more, so she didn’t speak further, but she continued to observe Yang Ming, and indeed, he seemed unhappy.
