Chapter 663 Rushing to Cliffside
“Do you have a problem?”
In a daze, Xiao Shun was kicked from the bed to the floor, feeling infuriated.
“You beast!”
Cao Wanqing glared at him with misty eyes, her gaze filled with resentment.
At that moment, Xiao Shun couldn’t bring himself to argue with her about what had just happened.
Looking at the tearful Cao Wanqing, he sighed and said, “Yesterday, I had to remove the ‘Victor Potens’ from you to accurately locate the key acupoints with every finger press.”
The fingertip was much larger than a needle tip, and it was impossible to accurately insert the true qi into key areas while wearing clothes.
This was also why Xiao Shun’s expression was so conflicted last night.
Upon hearing this, Cao Wanqing, full of grief, said, “Even so, you still saw my innocence!”
“I had no choice but to treat the illness,” Xiao Shun replied helplessly.
At that moment, the medicinal power in Cao Wanqing’s body had already risen, and he had no extra time to return to the Lily Hotel with her and administer acupuncture treatment.
The thought made Xiao Shun want to beat Ye Jisheng, the jerk!
After all, if he hadn’t caused so much trouble, would things have come to this?
Sobs echoed in the room.
Xiao Shun sat on the edge of the bed, unable to find comforting words for Cao Wanqing.
He had seen her innocence, even though he had approached the situation with the intention of healing, it was a fact.
As he felt helpless, Cao Wanqing said in despair, “If you were trying to detoxify me, why didn’t you help me put on my clothes afterwards and keep this a secret?”
“I wanted to help clear the remaining medicinal power in your body to the best of my ability, but without relying on the silver needle, I couldn’t guarantee there was no residue left in your body,” Xiao Shun explained.
He paused for a moment, then continued, “So the remaining poison can only be expelled through your pores.”
Before he could finish his sentence, Cao Wanqing angrily interrupted, “Enough!”
Seeing this, Xiao Shun stood up and walked towards the door without looking back.
He had said most of what needed to be said, and being you did what had to be done, he had a clear conscience.
“Stop right there!” Cao Wanqing, seeing him about to leave, felt a surge of anger.
She was a person of integrity, and even though Xiao Shun had acted out of kindness, it was still difficult for her to accept.
Stopping in his tracks, Xiao Shun said without looking back, “I’ve told you everything that happened last night. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. I have something to deal with now and can only take a step forward!”
With that, he left without waiting for Cao Wanqing to respond, opening the door and walking out.
As she watched the closed door, Cao Wanqing’s tears burst forth once again.
She grabbed a pillow and threw it towards the door, venting her anger.
Looking at herself, she realized that she had been left behind, used and taken for granted.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Originally, she just wanted to hear some comforting words from Xiao Shun to ease her mind.
But in the end, instead of comforting words, she received a cold attitude from him.
This was unacceptable!
With that thought in mind, Cao Wanqing angrily put on her clothes, deciding to part ways with this arrogant person.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
After arranging her clothes, she put on glasses and a mask and left the hotel, wrapping herself tightly.
Little did she know, at that moment, there was a hidden camera across the street tracking her every move!
As Cao Wanqing’s figure disappeared from the hotel entrance, a man wearing a hat and glasses slyly retrieved the camera, saying, “Big news! Cao Wanqing and a mysterious man meet in a hotel, spending the night together, hehehe…”
Suddenly, a man in a hotel staff uniform approached him from the side, saying meaningfully, “Remember, I was the one who told you about this news last night. You promised me money?”
Upon hearing this, the reporter laughed heartily.
“Haha, don’t worry. Once I negotiate the price with the buyer, I will definitely give you a satisfactory reward!”
Meanwhile, Xiao Shun had already boarded a taxi heading towards Cliffside.
Cliffside was located to the northwest of Eastbrook City, at an altitude of over two thousand meters, with towering mountains.
Even though it was still half an hour’s drive away, Xiao Shun could see the massive mountain range in the distance through the car window.
“Hey, why are you heading towards Cliffside? For tourism, Scarletfall next to it is better, with various entertainment facilities and a well-developed tourism industry, much safer than the primitive forests over there,” the talkative driver said.
“I just want to experience the feeling of the primitive forest, and there’s nothing interesting in the tourist areas with crowds everywhere,” Xiao Shun replied with a smile.
“Be careful over there, it’s been deserted for a long time, and there are many wild animals. But I heard that a few people were taken there from the airport recently. I wonder what you guys are up to!” the driver warned with a shrug.
This sparked Xiao Shun’s interest, as those heading to Cliffside were undoubtedly members of the Old School Society.
After all, Cliffside was an undeveloped mountain due to its steep terrain.
It was for this reason that the medicinal field of the “Hanging Flask Inn” remained hidden in the primitive jungle, eluding Nie Jiuchong’s search efforts.
As they chatted, they arrived at the Scarletfall Tourism Area.
The driver stopped the car, saying, “I can only take you this far. There’s no road ahead. If you want to go to Cliffside, you’ll have to walk.”
Nodding, Xiao Shun paid and got off the car.
It was the weekend, and Scarletfall was bustling with tourists, but Xiao Shun didn’t blend into the crowd. Instead, he walked towards a desolate path leading west.
It was the only path to Cliffside, with muddy ground and many footprints freshly stamped on the path, indicating a significant number of people.
“It seems very lively over there. Hehe…”
With a light laugh, Xiao Shun strolled along the path.
After about ten minutes of walking, the road beneath his feet could no longer be considered a road, more like a trail, surrounded by dense undergrowth and tall trees. If he wasn’t careful, he could easily lose his way.
However, Xiao Shun wasn’t worried about that, as there were many traces left behind by others, and he could follow them.
