Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 139: Chapter 139 “The world is really getting stranger and stranger.
 

It was indeed strange that since the arrival of the four people, tall, short, fat, and thin, the person who had been hiding in the shadows disappeared.

Qi Yue hadn’t felt that scrutinizing gaze for four days now, which made her inevitably link the four individuals with that person.

She had a feeling that they were in cahoots.

The four arrived, and that one left.

A smooth transition from covert to overt, indeed!

However, if you were to say that the four, tall, short, fat, and thin, had any scheming intentions, Qi Yue genuinely couldn’t see it.

From outward appearances, these four were a bit odd, yet their actions were very orderly.

They would patrol the estate, the farms, and even the area around the medical hall on schedule every day.

In the evenings, they were even more diligent.

The front yard, the back yard, they would patrol three times every night.

The maids and servants all said they could sleep peacefully now and affectionately called the tall, short, fat, and thin individuals their guardian deities.

That day, there was an auction in the black market, and Qi Yue instructed Auntie Zhang to bring along ten bottles of the Carefree Pill and planned to go and check out the situation.

When the tall, short, fat, and thin four learned she was going to the black market, they insisted that at least two of them should accompany her, so Qi Yue chose the fat one and the tall one.

In her view, these two had slightly lighter injuries on them.

Just like last time, Auntie Zhang disguised herself as a maid and took care of everything upfront, while Qi Yue was attended to in the image of a young master.

After entering the black market, Auntie Zhang suddenly whispered, “Young master, they didn’t charge us an entrance fee just now.”

Qi Yue was also surprised, “Isn’t it ten taels of Silver for everyone who comes in?”

“I asked, and that person said they don’t charge for the second visit, but I don’t remember it being this way.”

Looking at a confused Auntie Zhang, Qi Yue was also a bit bewildered.

Could it be that her Divine Doctor identity had been exposed?

Was the gatekeeper trying to curry favor with her?

No wonder she had such a thought.

Ever since she used her medicine to save the common people, whenever she went out to the street to buy something, the lovely shopkeepers would insist on not taking her money, making her wary of buying anything at all.

But after those people showed goodwill, they always mentioned where they were feeling unwell, asking Qi Yue to have a look, but that gatekeeper didn’t say anything, did he?

Having Auntie Zhang inquire with others, they also confirmed that there was no such thing as not charging an entrance fee for the second visit.

“This world is really getting more and more bizarre,” murmured Qi Yue.

Regardless, she still needed to attend the auction.

The two sent the ten bottles of the Carefree Pill to the auction department, and while waiting for the auction to start, the auctioneer came over.

“Esteemed guest, your ten bottles of the Carefree Pill have already been purchased.”

Qi Yue was taken aback.

“Purchased? When did this happen?”

“Just now. After deducting the relevant fees, the remaining amount is ten million taels of Silver. Are you satisfied with this?”

“Ten million?”

Qi Yue’s pupils shrank.

She thought that since the Carefree Pill was being revealed for the first time and had not yet gained any fame, getting 200,000 taels for it would be quite good.

Who would have expected that someone would buy it for one million taels per bottle?!

“Esteemed guest, if you are not satisfied, we can discuss a better price next time you come,” said the auctioneer, his face always respectful, but Qi Yue no longer believed in this world.

“Satisfied, very satisfied.”

“If the esteemed guest is satisfied, then we will immediately deliver the Silver to your estate.”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

She was now one hundred percent certain that her identity had been exposed.

They even knew where she lived!

The people from the black market must have recognized the name of the Divine Doctor and dared to pay such a high price for her Carefree Pill, keeping it for themselves and not even letting it reach the auction.

Indeed, fame makes it easier to earn money!

Since the Carefree Pill had been sold, there was no need for her to stay any longer, so she promptly went home to collect the Silver.

Indeed, as soon as she entered the door, Cai Wei came up to report that someone had delivered Silver.

Qi Yue quickly went to the front hall and indeed saw several boxes filled with Silver.

“Auntie Zhang, please check the amount and have them moved to the warehouse,” she instructed.

Soon, Auntie Zhang reported back that the ten million taels of Silver were all accounted for and had been placed in the warehouse.

“Good, well done.”

“Miss Qi, this time it shouldn’t be stolen by anyone again,” Nanny Zhang still seemed a little worried, “Why not let Tall and Short, Fat and Skinny guard the warehouse in pairs?”

“No need, I’ll spread some poison powder in a moment. I forgot the last time, and someone profited from that. This time it’s for real, and you all should refrain from going in casually!”

Hmph, how could the silver be left outside.

The spatial warehouse is still empty!

Every day, with my eyes closed, I can sense the mountains of gold and silver in the space, which is incredibly satisfying.

With that thought, she took out a few more silver notes.

“Keep the silver, and use the silver notes for daily expenses.”

“Yes, Miss Qi.”

Meanwhile, a tall man and a chubby man were in a mysterious room.

The room was quite dark, flickering with a light that brightened and dimmed intermittently.

Behind a large table sat a man.

He was playing with a Luminous Pearl the size of a fist in his hand.

The flickering light in the room emanated from the Luminous Pearl he held.

Dressed in black, although his face was indistinct, his languid yet dignified and elegant posture made it hard to overlook his charming qualities, leading one to imagine that his face must be exquisitely beautiful.

Suddenly, the man spoke softly.

“Has anyone been seen looking for her these past few days?”

His voice was plaintive and captivating as though it had the power to bewitch the heart.

The tall subordinate immediately bowed.

“To answer the master, someone tried to intrude on the estate the night before last. Fatso and I tried to capture him, but our wounds acted up, and he got away.”

The man hummed lightly, with a hint of displeasure.

“Did you see who it was?”

“It should be the same man from the auction who wanted the ‘Qimen Secret Arts’.”

The man in the shadows fell silent for a moment.

“Return and continue to protect her.”

“Yes, master.”

As the two turned to leave, Fatso suddenly looked back and said,

“Master, these past few days that Hu Keqing has tried to enter our residence several times, but we have scared him off. Should we deal with him?”

“Heh…”

The man chuckled softly, then covered the entire Luminous Pearl with his hands, plunging the room into darkness.

“How would you ‘deal’ with him?”

Enveloped in the darkness, Fatso seemed to receive some signal and nonchalantly said, “That fool dares to covet our lady, naturally I, Fatso, will see to it that he dies a thorough death.”

“Ah, you! You’re still as murderous as ever.” The man behind the desk suddenly stood up.

He loosened his grip on the Luminous Pearl and placed it on the table in front of him, immediately bathing the entire room in a serene glow.

But the man instantly turned away, leaving only the silhouette of his figure, resembling that of a Heavenly God, cast upon the wall.

“Not enough people killed this time? Wounds not severe enough?”

Hearing the concern in his tone, Fatso enthusiastically slapped his plump chest.

“For the master and Miss Qi, I’m not afraid of death!”

“Ha…” The man laughed out loud this time, his voice becoming gentler.

“Alright, Hu Keqing is nothing to worry about. Your current task is to protect her and recover from your injuries quickly.”

“But…” Fatso seemed to be about to say something when the tall man at his side nudged him, cutting him off.

“Master, rest assured, with us here, Miss Qi won’t have any issues!”

“Good, you may leave now!”

“No, I mean, master, that fool… umm…” Fatso tried to speak again, but the tall man covered his mouth and dragged him out.

“Why won’t you let me speak?”

“Shut your mouth, who asked you to bother the master with such troubles.”

“If it bothers him, then let me kill that fool and settle it…”

“Quiet, that fool is the son of the Prefectural Magistrate; if he dies, Hu Chengxuan could make the whole Longnan Ridge pay with their lives, and end up troubling the master again.”

“So we just watch that fool continue to behave foolishly?”

“…The master has his own ways, mind your own business.”

“…Right.”
