Chapter 725: 725: It must be her; she refuses to see me

“It’s her! There’s no mistake, it’s just… pfft”

The woman was extremely agitated, her gaze tightly fixed on the Vermilion Pill. In the end, overcome with too much excitement, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and passed out.

“An An, An An!” Mu Huai shook the woman violently a few times, but she showed no response.

Seeing this, Mu Huai panicked, losing his composure, his eyes filled with shock as he held the woman in his arms helplessly.

In his frantic state, his gaze swept over the Vermilion Pill in his hand and, regaining a bit of composure, he trembled as he fed the Vermilion Pill into the woman’s mouth.

It took ten minutes for the woman to slowly wake up.

Seeing the woman awaken, joy colored the depths of Mu Huai’s eyes, “An An, you’re awake? How do you feel, is there any discomfort?”

The woman’s eyes were full of confusion and daze. As her memory gradually returned, she became excited again, “It’s her, you must go and bring her back!”

“Don’t get excited, calm down first, tell me who she is.” Mu Huai, fearing that she might faint again due to her agitation, tried to soothe her to get her to calm down.

However, the woman couldn’t calm down at all. Her expression remained highly agitated, a tear glistening in her eyes as she looked at Mu Huai, “Her alchemy technique is unique, I can’t be wrong, it must be her.”

At these words, Mu Huai had an epiphany, his expression changing, “Are you saying that the person who refined the Vermilion Pill is Divine Doctor Nan Zhi?”

He was somewhat surprised, yet it also made sense to him.

No wonder he had always felt that the young girl seemed familiar. If it was her, everything would make sense.

But if it truly was Nan Zhi, why didn’t she recognize him? Even if she didn’t want to acknowledge him, what about An An…

“It’s her, she surely hasn’t gone far, you have to go and…” As she spoke, the woman suddenly stopped herself, her expression becoming dazed as she shook her head, “No, it’s not her. If it really were her, why wouldn’t she come to find me?”

“She knows I’m here; why won’t she see me?”

As the woman spoke, she became agitated once more, grasping Mu Huai’s collar, “Why won’t she see me?”

“Has she already found out?” her expression turning dazed again as the woman’s demeanor fell into dejection, murmuring to herself, “It’s because I’m useless, I failed to protect the key, no wonder she refuses to see me.”

“No, it’s not like that,” Mu Huai said, while reaching his hand toward the bedside table drawer and took out a needle kit.

“It must be, it’s definitely because I failed to keep the key, that’s why she…”

Before she finished speaking, Mu Huai pricked her on the neck with a needle, and the woman’s voice abruptly stopped, then she fell into unconsciousness once more.

Mu Huai laid her on the bed and gently caressed her face with his hand, murmuring softly, “Don’t be afraid, you will meet Divine Doctor Nan Zhi, and the key will be found.”

Sen City, Medical Alliance.

“Have you found the person I told you to look for?” Qi Yuanyuan stared coldly at the Guard Captain standing before her in the Qi family living room.

“We, we couldn’t find her,” the Guard Captain stuttered, responding to Qi Yuanyuan’s question.

“Slap!”

“Worthless, you can’t even find a single person!” Qi Yuanyuan, infuriated, slapped the Guard Captain directly across the face.

The Guard Captain clutched his face, standing there trembling without daring to utter another word.

“Why are you still standing here? Get lost! Keep looking, even if it means digging three feet into the ground, you have to find those two women for me!”

Upon hearing this, the Guard Captain immediately covered his face and left.
