Zhao Wushuang first got off the bicycle, and then, Jiang Hao also released her grab from Ning Tao's waist and got off. On the way, Ning Tao wasn't driving fast, so until now, Zhao Wushuang and Jiang Hao still hadn't found anything special about this G.o.d's Will vehicle. They both thought it was just a common electric bicycle.

Before Ning Tao opened the door, Qing Zhui walked out. She had been smiling; however, her smile froze as she saw Zhao Wushuang and Jiang Hao beside Ning Tao. Right now, her smile looked like a fake one that had been stuck on her face with glue.

Jiang Hao asked in surprise, “Ah Tao, who is this?”

Ning Tao introduced. “This is Qing Zhui, a nurse from my clinic. She's got nowhere to go, so she crashes in my home for now.”

Jiang Hao's face looked weird, however, she still managed to reach out to shake hands with Qing Zhui. “h.e.l.lo, Ms. Qing, I'm Jiang Hao.”

Qing Zhui shook hands with Jiang Hao and drew her lips to the latter's ear, whispering, “I'll talk to you about something later.”

Jiang Hao paused slightly and asked, “What is it?”

Qing Zhui smiled mysteriously. “Of course it's about something good. I'll talk to you later.”

Ning Tao failed to catch the whisper between Qing Zhui and Jiang Hao, saying, “Qing Zhui, you and Wushuang have met, so I won't bother introducing you to each other.”

Qing Zhui affectionately grabbed Jiang Hao's hand and walked to the room. “There's no need. Please, older sisters, come on in.”

Qing Zhui's sudden hospitality startled Jiang Hao, nonetheless, she couldn't be so rude as to decline Qing Zhui.

Zhao Wushuang suddenly recalled. “Qing Zhui has proposed to me on behalf of Ning Tao.” Therefore, as Qing Zhui enthusiastically pulled Jiang Hao into the room, Zhao Wushuang suddenly grabbed Ning Tao's hand. “Brother Ning, I want to ask you something.”

Ning Tao was a little curious. “What is it?”

Zhao Wushuang lowered her voice. “Is that Qing Zhui… ill?”

“Ill?”

Zhao Wushuang lifted her hand to point at her head and lowered her voice even more. “Here. Is she ill here?”

After pausing for a few seconds, Ning Tao smilingly nodded. “Well, yes. Her brain is different from ours and she thinks different. Whatever she says, you just listen and don't take them to heart.”

Zhao Wushuang's voice was as low as a mosquito's. “I actually have taken something she said to heart.”

Ning Tao didn't catch her words. “What did you say?”

“Nothing, it's nothing.” Zhao Wushuang looked at Ning Tao but averted her eyes after two seconds. “Well… I'm sorry.”

Ning Tao said with a smile. “What's that? Why did you suddenly apologize to me?”

Zhao Wushuang said, “Today, at Prosperous House, I thought you were a grave robber. When they accused you like that, I should've believed you. I should've defended you before those people, but I didn't say anything. You gave me a second life, but I… I… I'm sorry…”

A layer of mist covered her eyes.

Ning Tao gently patted on Zhao Wushuang's shoulder and smiled. “I thought you'd got something serious, but it turns out to be this. I did heal your face, but that's what I do as a doctor. And I've charged you a lot. Don't take this to heart, or it will burden you. Even less do you need to apologize for what happened today. You're a public figure and shouldn't mess with it.”

“But in Beidu, when Huai Kebing was going to take me away, no one except you stood out to protect me. Other than you, no one helped me,” said Zhao Wushuang, who couldn't quite forget the scene for the rest of her life.

“Alright, that's enough. We should get in. I'll have to cook for you.” Ning Tao slightly patted her shoulder again and went into the room.

Zhao Wushuang followed Ning Tao into the room and then saw Qing Zhui and Jiang Hao sitting on the sofa, talking merrily with each other. In front of Jiang Hao, there should be a cup of hot tea. Obviously, Qing Zhui made it for Jiang Hao. Zhao Wushuang's lips slightly twitched, and she murmured, “She's not proposing to Jiang Hao on behalf of Brother Ning, is she? If that's so, she's truly ill.”

“You two suit yourself. I'll be cooking in the kitchen,” said Ning Tao.

Zhao Wushuang said, “I'll help you.”

Ning Tao said, “Don't do that. You're a superstar. How can I have you help me? Sit where you are. I can handle this by myself.”

Nonetheless, Zhao Wushuang said, “What's with being a superstar? Haven't I cooked for you in Beidu? I'll help you no matter what you say.”

Ning Tao shrugged. “Well, suit yourself.”

Jiang Hao was about to say something, but Qing Zhui lifted the teacup and pushed it to her lips. “Sister Jiang, enjoy the tea.”

Jiang Hao couldn't decide if she should drink it or not. After she finished the tea, Ning Tao and Zhao Wushuang were already in the kitchen. She sullenly looked at Qing Zhui. Until now, she still couldn't figure out why the Privileged Nurse Qing was so warm to her, to an extent that she couldn't bear.

Qing Zhui shot a glance in the direction of the kitchen and said in a low voice. “I don't like that Zhao Wushuang. Today, at Prosperous House, they all said Brother Ning was a grave robber, and she should have not defended him. I was stupid to have treated her so nice.”

Jiang Hao didn't continue the topic. She wanted to see what Ning Tao and Zhao Wushuang were doing in the kitchen, but she couldn't see anything.

Qing Zhui added, “I like you.”

“Ah?” Jiang Hao reacted like a timid girl running into a rat in the bathroom.

“Do you like me?” Qing Zhui stared Jiang Hao in the face, expecting an answer.

Jiang Hao immediately fretted. “Well… Ms. Qing, I'm a normal woman with a normal orientation. Please, will you behave yourself?”

Until now did Qing Zhui realize that Jiang Hao misunderstood her. She smiled embarra.s.sedly. “Me too and mine is the same with you… well, OK, I'll put it straight. I can see that you like my Brother Ning very much. And it's about time that he gets married. He can't stay single anymore. I, as his sister, will be so thick-skinned to propose to you for him. Do you want to marry my Brother Ning?”

Jiang Hao was dazed on the spot and hadn't collected herself for quite a while.

She couldn't understand the Privileged Nurse Qing's way of thinking in any way, neither could she understand the nurse's goal.

Qing Zhui was fated to be Ning Tao's concubine, and she was bent on finding a wife for Ning Tao just so she could be his concubine sooner. Would Qing Zhui tell Jiang Hao the secret?

Qing Zhui eagerly added while they were at it, “Sister Jiang, don't you worry that he can't make money. He's got excellent medical skills. The delicate perfumed cream he cooks sells for 100 thousand yuan. He's got a house in his hometown, and he has that G.o.d's Will electric bicycle…”

Jiang Hao couldn't take it anymore and rose up, walking to the kitchen. “Well, I'll go help them.”

Qing Zhui felt upset and sighed. “Will I really have that little girl Su Ya marry Brother Ning? She's 18 and has to wait two years to get married legally. Am I supposed to wait two more years? d.a.m.n it, I might marry my older sister to Brother Ning if I have to!”

In the kitchen, Zhao Wushuang washed the ingredients while Ning Tao chopped them. They were working together perfectly fine.

Jiang Hao coughed. “I'll help you too. Ah Tao, what's there left for me to do?”

Ning Tao said, “You should just rest. The kitchen is small, and you'll only crowd us.”

Jiang Hao said, “This is an order. I order you to arrange something for me to do.”

Her words left Ning Tao speechless!

The atmosphere was strange during cooking. Sometimes, Ning Tao even felt that he was not frying dishes, but explosives. They might explode if he was not paying attention.

When the dinner was finally ready, the four ate at a small dining table.

Qing Zhui picked a slice of stew pork for Ning Tao. “Brother Ning, have this.”

“Thank you,” Ning Tao said.

At the next second, Jiang Hao put several pieces of stew pork in Ning Tao's bowl. “Ah Tao, eat meat!”

Zhao Wushuang was stunned and also placed a few of them in Ning Tao's bowl for one time. “Brother Ning, meat!”

“Do they really want me to enjoy the meat?”

Ning Tao looked down at the several layers of stew pork in his bowl and said nothing despite the urge to talk…

Finally, when they finished dinner, Meng Bo personally drove to pick up Jiang Hao for a meeting, while Ning Tao gave a ride to Zhao Wushuang to the set for shooting at night. Zhao Wushuang invited Ning Tao to walk around the set and watch her film; nevertheless, Ning Tao politely refused and returned to his rented house on his electric bicycle.

Two more people appeared in the house: Bai Jing and Yin Molan.

This house was the base of the “Clinic Allies”. After eradicating the golden snake venom in Bai Jing, Ning Tao went back to Guan City with the three demons. When they returned, Qing Zhui and Bai Jing stayed in the rented house. He and Yin Molan went to fetch the car. Yin Molan came back first and stayed in as well. When Ning Tao brought Jiang Hao and Zhao Wushuang back, Yin Molan and Bai Jing slipped away through the backyard. Then, when he gave Zhao Wushuang a ride, Yin Molan and Bai Jing came back to this room. After all, this place, near to Sky Clinic, was the safest.

The moment Ning Tao stepped in, Yin Molan approached him and asked eagerly, “Where's the fragment?”

Ning Tao said, “The specialist team took it.”

“Then haven't we worked for nothing?” Yin Molan dashed to the door. “It can't like this. I'll get it back!”

Ning Tao said, “Please hold on, Senior Yin. Although they took Girl Hongyu's skull fragment, I memorized the elixir prescription. To refine Ancestor-seeking Elixir, we need only the elixir prescription. The fragment isn't going to be of any use.”

Yin Molan couldn't wait to read it. “Then write it down for me, quickly.”

Ning Tao opened the small medicine chest, took out a regular prescription pad and a pen, and put down the elixir prescription he learned by heart. Then, he played a short video on his phone to check. The content he wrote and remembered was precisely the same, not including a single error or omission.

Qing Zhui and Bai Jing also drew near to see the elixir prescription of Ancestor-seeking Elixir.

Ning Tao tore the sheet with the elixir prescription from the pad and handed it to Yin Molan. “Senior Yin, this is for you.”

Yin Molan didn't hesitate to take the elixir prescription Ning Tao gave him.

Ning Tao gave Yin Molan the prescription because he feared that Yin Molan might try to steal the skull fragment from the specialist team. With the prescription, Yin Molan wouldn't have to take risks for the fragment.

Bai Jing asked, “Brother Ning, this prescription still isn't complete. Will you still refine Ancestor-seeking Elixir?”

Ning Tao said, “I have all the herbs or spiritual ingredients required, and I'll refine it tonight. You three should stay here tonight. Don't disperse. I guess Bai Sheng will take action soon.”

With a new elixir prescription, more herbs, and more spiritual materials, what kind of Ancestor-seeking Elixir would he refine?

He didn't have a clue.

However, what Ning Tao expected more was, under a stronger medicine allergic reaction than before, would the woman in red appear? Would the past s.p.a.ce and time he had seen change?

He couldn't find an answer to any of those, either.
