~9 min read 1,700 words

Hearing Bai Lu's words, the steward of the Seat of Divine Foresight who was asking felt a slight relief in his heart.

As long as it wasn't death, it was fine.

"You can investigate this fellow's deeds and what he has done carefully."

Bai Lu pondered: "This bizarre method did not cause much flesh damage to this fellow; it seems to be torturing the other party and will not let the other party die. It should be because this fellow did something that led to this. You can investigate in this direction."

"Everything has traces to follow; it is impossible for this fellow to be unlucky for no reason."

One must know, this fellow still had a friend, yet he was completely fine.

"Understood."

Hearing Bai Lu's words, the steward of the Seat of Divine Foresight nodded and immediately prepared to take the man Xie Jun called Brother Long back to the Seat of Divine Foresight.

As for Xie Jun, he could only be left here with Master Bai Lu for her to continue observing.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, Bai Lu exclaimed in surprise, her voice instantly attracting the stewards of the Seat of Divine Foresight and the Cloud Knights.

I saw Xie Jun, who had been in extreme pain with his mouth and throat flesh writhing, suddenly stop being in pain, as if he were better.

"Strange."

Seeing this sudden scene, Bai Lu looked surprised: "He's better? The symptoms disappeared?"

Just now, no matter how she checked, she couldn't find anything, and now it suddenly disappeared?

Thinking for a while, Bai Lu casually waved her hand to shroud Xie Jun in lightning. With a burst of "crackle" sounds, Xie Jun's hair was shocked into a frizz, and his whole person looked like he had an afro, but there was not a single injury on his body.

Xie Jun, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them at this moment, and said weakly with a pale face: "..."

Bai Lu waved her hand, and water was drawn from afar, instantly pouring into Xie Jun's mouth, making him swallow in large gulps.

Just like a long drought meeting sweet rain, Xie Jun only struggled to stand up shakily after drinking several mouthfuls.

Feeling that there was no more pain in his throat and mouth, Xie Jun looked pleasantly surprised. Was he better?

But the next second, Xie Jun saw the environment in front of him, looking at the Cloud Knights and stewards watching him, and his face instantly turned pale.

How could the Cloud Knights and the stewards of the Seat of Divine Foresight be here?

Besides that, he subconsciously looked at the surrounding environment.

In front of him was a clinic, which seemed to be where the Alchemy Commission was located.

Although he was fine and couldn't feel pain, Xie Jun couldn't feel the slightest joy.

"Phew, calm down. As long as nothing happens, I am just an ordinary outworlder."

Xie Jun comforted himself in his heart while respectfully saying to the Cloud Knights and others: "Thank you for your help. I am deeply grateful. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

The top priority was to leave as soon as possible.

"You cannot leave."

Hearing Xie Jun's words, the steward of the Seat of Divine Foresight said in a deep voice: "You are suspected of contract fraud against the Minghuoshang Society. The Minghuoshang Society has already entrusted our Seat of Divine Foresight to handle this matter, and you have the behavior of taking a skiff to leave the Xianzhou. Please come with us to the Seat of Divine Foresight immediately."

Hearing the steward's words, Xie Jun, who was comforting himself in his heart, had his pupils shrink, and his face turned pale instantly.

The matter was exposed.

It was over.

In an instant, Xie Jun almost had weak legs and knelt on the ground.

Seeing Xie Jun's face, the steward of the Seat of Divine Foresight sneered: "In addition, you need to explain your illness. What kind of illness is this? Is it contagious? Why would it be like this?"

"I, I don't know."

Hearing the steward's words, Xie Jun looked panicked and said hurriedly: "My body is very healthy. I go for a physical examination every year. Last year, I only had a kidney deficiency, and after taking Chinese medicine for more than half a year, it's almost better."

"And there are no other diseases in my body. I don't know why it would be like this."

If he had known, he would have run away long ago. Would he still be howling at the skiff dock?

"Has anything happened to you recently?"

Hearing Xie Jun's words, Bai Lu narrowed her eyes: "Your illness wasn't cured by this young lady."

"This young lady has no means to treat your illness. You recovered on your own. This situation does not rule out that it is only temporary."

"Ah?"

Hearing Bai Lu's words, Xie Jun looked panicked: "Is it possible for it to appear again? Impossible, nothing has happened to me recently."

"Then I don't know."

Bai Lu spread her small hands: "Anyway, I don't believe this thing would appear for no reason, nor would it disappear for no reason. There must be some reason. As for what the reason is, you can think about it carefully. Have you done anything to offend anyone recently, and who did you offend? Offending someone unintentionally is also offending."

"Hmm, if you think of it, you can tell this young lady. This young lady is very interested in this method."

As she spoke, Bai Lu narrowed her eyes.

There was actually an illness she couldn't diagnose; she was really interested.

She guessed that there was a force on Xie Jun that she couldn't see or touch that was punishing him.

"Offending people."

Hearing Bai Lu's words, Xie Jun's face stiffened: "As merchants, how could we offend people at will."

When speaking, Xie Jun felt some panic in his heart.

If he really had to say something about offending people, it would only be the Minghuoshang Society, but it shouldn't be like this.

He even handed over the delivery through others' hands, waiting for the funds to arrive from across the shore, without even contacting the Minghuoshang Society.

If the Minghuoshang Society wanted to take action against him, they would definitely have to find him and come to him.

"Ah!"

As he was speaking, Xie Jun suddenly felt his throat and mouth again, with the feeling of a rock being forcibly shoved in, and he immediately screamed and howled.

His hands were stuck tightly in his mouth, wanting to grab something out, exactly the same as the situation just now.

"Sure enough."

Seeing this scene, Bai Lu was not surprised at all.

It appeared again.

This disappearance was only temporary; it wouldn't torture people all the time, but would give the other party a little time to breathe, so that the other party's spirit wouldn't collapse or be unable to bear it.

It's truly rare. What kind of illness is this? Is it controlled by humans?

But any method should have power to control it.

Her perception is very strong, and the Path power she masters is the Abundance, especially for the bodies of living beings.

When her Abundance Path power dissipated, she couldn't feel any Path power at all. This was truly strange.

Bai Lu couldn't figure it out.

"It's the Minghuoshang Society, it's definitely the Minghuoshang Society."

The man Xie Jun called Brother Long, who had been witnessing all this, had a pale face and said hurriedly: "I remember now. Xie Jun offended the Minghuoshang Society these past two days. He was suspected of contract fraud and deceived the Minghuoshang Society, and then it became like this. It is definitely the method of the Minghuoshang Society."

He hadn't reacted just now, but after hearing Bai Lu's words about offending people and what Xie Jun had done recently.

It seemed there was only the matter of offending the Minghuoshang Society. This was the method of the Minghuoshang Society!

"Minghuoshang Society?"

"How is that possible."

Hearing the words of the man Xie Jun called Brother Long, the steward of the Seat of Divine Foresight frowned: "If it were the method of the Minghuoshang Society, they would have caught you back long ago, instead of coming to our Seat of Divine Foresight to report the case and entrusting our Seat of Divine Foresight to handle the matter."

This simply didn't make sense.

Because if it were really the method of the Minghuoshang Society, the Minghuoshang Society would have handled it themselves long ago.

The reason they reported the case to their Seat of Divine Foresight was because the person had run away, and there was no other way; they needed their Seat of Divine Foresight to mobilize people to track and capture him.

With the reputation of a large merchant society, if they really had such a method, they would have used it quietly long ago, and they would have been able to catch Xie Jun back to the society immediately.

Now it simply didn't make sense; it conflicted.

The Minghuoshang Society was still waiting for their news.

"Yeah."

Beside him, a steward of the Seat of Divine Foresight nodded: "It's not like there haven't been cases of merchants defrauding the Minghuoshang Society before, but those people have always been handled by our Seat of Divine Foresight, captured by our Seat of Divine Foresight, and many are still locked in prison. How could they have such a method."

If they had such a method, someone from the Minghuoshang Society would have gone to the skiff dock immediately to bring Xie Jun back to the society.

"Does Miss Tingyun have such a method? Impossible, right."

Beside him, Bai Lu also pinched her chin, thinking of Tingyun of the Minghuoshang Society.

She was quite familiar with Tingyun, who could withstand more intense massage treatment techniques than the average person.

So every time Miss Tingyun came for a massage, she wouldn't hold back and could use her strength on Tingyun.

"But other than that, we haven't done anything else to offend anyone." ===== CHAPTER 117 =====
