After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 597 Aftermath

As Shen Xu walked past Ye Liufeng, the murderous intent in Ye Liufeng's eyes was impossible to conceal. He knew that everything he had encountered today was thanks to the man in front of him.

But now he needs him to save him.

Shen Xu walked up to the young man and looked at the familiar face he had just seen yesterday, now lying in front of him covered in blood. He couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Reaching out to probe the youth's body with vital energy, the real answer is not important; the appropriate answer is what matters.

A moment later, Shen Xu stood up and said with a sad expression, "It seems that he came into contact with a lot of poison before, and his body is very weak."

Whether or not Captain Ye was there, this alchemist was probably not long for the day; Captain Ye's attack only accelerated that process.

In addition, he only had some wounds on his chest, and his internal organs were not damaged much, which shows that Captain Ye used a lot of restraint at the time.

Therefore, although Captain Ye bears undeniable responsibility for the alchemist's death, I believe the entire blame cannot be placed on him.

"I wonder if the two seniors will accept this result?"

“I can accept it, but this person must be severely punished.”

"No matter how bad this alchemist's health is, the fact remains that he killed members of the Alchemy Alliance," Liu An said coldly.

"Liu Feng did indeed do something wrong, and he deserves to be punished. I will make him compensate the alchemist's family and issue a public apology to them."

Furthermore, the Enforcement Hall will strip him of all his posts in Dan Ding City and send him back to Ning Chuan Sect to handle the matter internally, since that is the most suitable place to punish him.

I wonder if this result will satisfy Master Liu?

"Hmph! You are not welcome in the Dan Ding City workshop area. I hope this will not happen again!"

"Who can predict the future?" Elder Huang smiled.

"Get back inside! Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough today?!" Elder Huang shouted at the people from the Enforcement Hall inside the workshop.

Upon hearing this, many law enforcement officers hurriedly ran out of the workshop.

Seeing Ye Liufeng, who refused to leave and stared intently at Shen Xu, Yu Xing sighed helplessly and then forcibly dragged him away from the workshop.

“As Brother Qian’s successor, I think you are capable enough to take over his position, and those voices that slander you should stop.”

After everyone left, Liu An walked up to Shen Xu and gently patted him on the shoulder.

"Thank you for your kind words, senior," Shen Xu said, bowing.

"The Pill Alliance will not mistreat anyone who has contributed to the Pill Alliance. We will compensate you for your losses."

"Harmony and friendliness in Dancheng is what Feng's Pharmacy strives for."

"Haha... I now feel that you are more suitable for this position than Brother Qian," Liu An laughed loudly.

"You flatter me, senior. I still have a lot to learn from Uncle Qian."

……

As night fell, the stars gradually disappeared.

Exhausted, Shen Xu sat back down in Lao Qian's seat and began writing the dossiers for the two missions, 'Undercurrent' and 'The Secret of the Elixir'.

In the process of the Wind and Rain Tower, this is something that must be handed over to headquarters.

Actually, things are quite simple; you can even treat the two tasks as one.

Within the workshop area of ​​Dan Ding City, there exists a workshop that privately refines Nourishing Essence Pills.

The alchemists there can use the special conditions of Dan Ding City to refine pills that are slightly underweight but almost identical to the official Yang Yuan Pills of the Dan Alliance, except that they lack the official markings.

However, those Nourishing Essence Pills were destined not to circulate in the market. To solve this problem, they found people in remote areas to exchange the Nourishing Essence Pills they refined for Nourishing Qi Pills, and finally exchanged the Nourishing Qi Pills for Nourishing Essence Pills at the Pill Alliance.

A considerable amount of Nourishing Essence Pills can be earned in a single trip.

Because they produced only a small quantity and were very restrained in their production, the Pill Alliance had not discovered this matter.

However, the workshop's manager underestimated human greed. As their business grew, they became dissatisfied with their current scale and began collecting materials from all over the place to refine the Nourishing Essence Pill.

Firefly grass is just one of the most insignificant materials among them.

Their actions were so blatant that they immediately attracted the attention of Dan City and the Enforcement Hall.

Dan City's original plan was to capture those audacious alchemists, so he entrusted the matter to Fengyu Tower.

But the intervention of the Enforcement Hall suddenly complicated things.

Due to the special and complex relationship between the Pill Alliance and the Ningchuan Sect, the Ningchuan Sect has always wanted to interfere in the workshop area, but the workshop area is the bottom line of the Pill Alliance and it is impossible for the Ningchuan Sect to interfere at will.

Once the Enforcement Hall discovers that a Dan Alliance alchemist is privately refining Nourishing Yuan Pills within the Enforcement Hall, they can use this as a pretext to forcibly intervene in the workshop area.

This was something the Dan Alliance could not accept, so they began to restrain the Enforcement Hall.

Furthermore, the alchemists in the workshop immediately ceased their operations upon hearing the news, rendering both sides' investigations fruitless.

The situation remained deadlocked.

Old Qian realized the complexity of the matter and decided not to get involved, so he put the matter aside.

Until his arrival.

Perhaps due to the entrustment and framing of a certain important figure in the Wind and Rain Pavilion, he was arrested and imprisoned in the jail of the Law Enforcement Hall.

I don't know what the bigwigs in the Enforcement Hall were thinking, that they wanted him to investigate this matter on their behalf.

At the time, he knew almost nothing and could only accept the task with a heavy heart.

His original plan was to burn all the fireflies after collecting them, and then use the willow leaves given to him by Liu Zun to sense who harbored the greatest malice towards him and find out the mastermind behind it all.

But yesterday, no, the day before yesterday, the young man who asked him to buy exam questions gave him a new breakthrough.

Since the young man didn't seem very wealthy, they specifically asked for his name and obtained his information from Chi Xiaorou.

It turned out that the young man came from an ordinary family, which immediately aroused his suspicion.

So they secretly followed the young man to his workshop, where they discovered traces of the dregs of the Nourishing Essence Pill.

The rest was simple. He used illusion magic to control the young man and used Master Qi's appearance to threaten him into revealing all the secrets.

According to Lao Qian, one shouldn't bite the hand that feeds them; he needed to help Danmeng cover up this matter.

A plan gradually took shape in his mind.

So, using the connections left by Lao Qian, he found the higher-ups in the Dan Alliance and confessed his plan.

The general idea is to pile all the firefly grass in the herb shop, take out the amount of firefly grass that the young man and his companions had previously purchased, and extract the luminescent substance to deceive others.

Finally, someone was sent to steal the firefly grass from the Herb Shop and burn it all.

The firefly grass was stolen to lure Ye Liufeng and his group to the workshop where the phosphorescent agent was placed, and the firefly grass was burned to cover up its quantity.

Although the plan cannot withstand close scrutiny, both sides only want it to look good on the surface; the truth is irrelevant.

However, he did not expect the Pill Alliance to go to such extremes, using the young man's death to force Ye Liufeng to leave Pill Cauldron City, thus exacerbating the conflict between the two.

He will likely face difficulties in the future at the Enforcement Hall.

But having too many lice doesn't make you itch anymore. The Enforcement Hall wasn't on his side anyway, otherwise why would they have arrested him?

never mind!

After finishing the last stroke and checking it over, Shen Xu sent the completed file to Chi Xiaorou.

I rubbed my slightly dizzy head and looked out the window at the rising sun.

After sending a message to Manager Wei that he wouldn't be seeing any customers today, he lay down on his desk and fell into a deep sleep.

After a while, Chi Xiaorou knocked on the door and then carefully pushed it open and walked in.

But when she saw that Shen Xu was sleeping, she paused for a moment, then closed the door and left.
