"Mr. Mo, the medicine is ready, hurry and drink it!" Rao Mingyue entered the woodshed, holding a bowl of medicinal broth.
Mo Xu struggled to sit up, but was stopped by Rao Mingyue.
"Don’t move, I’ll feed you."
Without allowing Mo Xu to refuse, Rao Mingyue squatted in front of the bed, feeding him slowly.
After helping Mo Xu drink the medicinal broth,
Rao Mingyue cleaned his body a bit and said, "Mr. Mo, take good care here. I’ll go ahead first and come back during dinner time."
"Go ahead!" Mo Xu said softly.
Rao Mingyue left.
Mo Xu lay in the woodshed, sunlight streaming through the window onto his body, making him feel warm all over.
The medicinal broth he drank began to take effect, and Mo Xu felt the withered Qi Blood within him gaining some vitality.
He closed his eyes, silently regulating his Qi Blood to accelerate the healing of his wounds.

Four Seas Building.
As the headquarters of the Four Seas Gang, it was a restricted area where strangers were not allowed.
Usually, besides high-level members, only the servants could come and go.
But today was different.
Ever since the three Vice Gang Leaders gathered here for a meeting with Big Master Huangfu Zhen a couple of days ago, the Four Seas Building had become busy.
Every day, people came and went, delivering various messages.
Although Big Master Huangfu Zhen only made a brief appearance and then disappeared again,
the three Vice Gang Leaders of Qingjing Sea, Rouge Sea, and Celestial Cyan Sea remained stationed there daily, greatly increasing the pressure on the servants of the Four Seas Building.
Today was naturally no exception.
With Vice Gang Leader Lang Songbai of Qingjing Sea stationed at the Four Seas Building, the servants were already trembling with fear.
Because everyone knew that this Vice Gang Leader, who looked gentle and always seemed to smile, was actually ruthless and unpredictable.
Once angered, he could kill you over trivial matters at any moment.
So, when serving him, the servants were especially meticulous, fearing any mistakes.
Eventually, it was afternoon, and before the servants could even breathe a sigh of relief, the arrival of Sheng Lianhua—also one of the Vice Gang Leaders of Rouge Sea—tightened their nerves once again.
"Who will serve the tea later?" the manager of the Four Seas Gang asked.
All the servants kept their heads down, not daring to speak up.
Not only was there no benefit in this task, but it was also very risky.
There was a chance that these big figures could vent their displeasure on them, risking their lives.
The manager, understanding this, offered a condition.
"Two taels of silver for whoever is willing to go."
Still, no one responded.
Though two taels of silver was not a small amount, it paled in comparison to their lives.
The manager frowned, about to speak.
Someone raised their hand from the crowd, "Manager, I’ll go!"
Seeing this person, the manager was overjoyed.
"Yu San, if you hadn’t raised your hand, I would have asked you to go, because you’re the only one who can handle this task."
Yu San, a man with a simple appearance, chuckled at these words but said nothing.
"Go then, serve well, and I’ll give you an extra tael of silver after it’s done."
"Alright!"
For money, Yu San set aside his worries.
He changed into the servant clothes, picked up freshly brewed tea and snacks, and briskly headed upstairs.
At that moment, in a luxuriously decorated room on the second floor, Lang Songbai sat on a chair, not even lifting his eyelids as Sheng Lianhua barged in aggressively. He merely spoke blandly.
"Vice Gang Leader Sheng, why such leisure today? I recall this is your busiest time, isn’t it? What, are you not doing business in Changping Square today?"
"Enough nonsense, Lang Songbai, you really have some nerve."
Sheng Lianhua, nearly forty years old, could be a grandmother in this era, yet her deep Martial Dao cultivation and beauty preservation made her appear no older than thirty.
She managed the brothels and other establishments at Changping Square for the Four Seas Gang.
To put it bluntly,
she was a supreme madam, overseeing most of the brothels in Changping Square except for a few with strong backings.
Don’t underestimate this position.
In fact, at least half of the Four Seas Gang’s annual profits came from the sex money of these brothel girls.
What’s more, there were no credit accounts, it was basically all cash transactions.
It was the biggest cash cow of the Four Seas Gang.
Because of this, Sheng Lianhua’s status in the Four Seas Gang had risen significantly, becoming the Big Master’s most favored trust.
Yet, Lang Songbai showed no fear, smiling slightly at her words instead.
"What do you mean by that, Vice Gang Leader Sheng?"
"Don’t pretend to be ignorant. Did you cause trouble at my Changping Square a few days ago?" Sheng Lianhua demanded angrily.
In fact, she knew about this incident on the night it happened, but the gang was in turmoil over He Town’s death, so she hadn’t brought it up then.
Now, as the chaos over He Town’s death was subsiding, she couldn’t hold back any longer and confronted Lang Songbai head-on.
Unexpectedly, Lang Songbai remained calm after hearing this, "I did go to Changping Square with people, but I didn’t cause trouble, I was there to arrest someone."
Sheng Lianhua, extremely angry, chuckled, "Arrest someone? You came to my territory to arrest someone without even notifying me, quite the display of power, aren’t you?"
