Chapter 1242

(Unedited)

It was in the middle of the night when four people wearing black clothing could be seen standing atop a roof. One of them has a creature standing on his shoulder. The creature looks like a big lizard with its big glowing eyes looking curiously at its surroundings.

The young man with the pet is Xin Ja and the others next to him are his crew.

Before they became famous as Doctor Shin, they would scour the streets in search of a patient. At that time, the three people behind him were destitute medical masters.

They were all helpless and did not have any future in the medical world.

Although Master Yu is a bit famous back then, he is actually not well respected as a medical master because of his absurd theories.

But one day, they\'ve met a young man who showed them a way out.

A way to gain the respect they deserved in the medical world.

At first, no one dares to trust them, so they began to be a street doctor. They treat only those that are considered incurable by the many medical masters.

And from that time forth, the name Doctor Shin spread like wildfire throughout the kingdom. Many fought to gain their help in a chance for life but only a few gets the chance to gain their trust.

Medical master Yu Yunxiao is the 1st assistant of Xin Ja, medical master Fa Renlie is the 2nd assistant and medical master and alchemist Song Tigui as the one maintaining and monitoring the condition of the patient.

With the four of them working hand in hand, the team of Doctor Shin rose up to its fame.

But of course, they are only medical masters but also… good in many things. One of them is sneaking around and secretly curing their patients.

In this feudalistic society not all people especially those aristocrats would let just anyone touch their people. Hence, some are against the services of Doctor Shin.

But the three in Doctor Shin\'s team who pursues the highest form of medicine would rather be thieves than turn their backs on a possible experience of curing a hard-to-cure disease.

Once the challenge is set, their gaze would not leave their target until the job is done.

And right now, this same thing is happening in the Ban clan.

Those two women, who were daughters of Master Ban, seemed determined to let their father die.

But how could those three let this happen?

As for Xin Ja, he\'s just here because of his promise to the old man.

"Xuanlong… cover our backs, okay?" Xin Ja patted Xuanlong\'s head.

The little guy showed happiness being patted by her master. She even closes her big bright eyes just to relish the feeling.

"The patient is in this room. I guess, there are guards standing outside and a roving guard that would check the room every now and then… Xuanlong, your task is to make illusions… Okay?"

Xuanlong nodded her head in understanding.

"Master Song, Master Yu, Master Fa, as usual…" Xin Ja nodded at the three.

"Yes, as usual…" the three also replied with a nod as they all put on their mask.

Like shadows in the night, four people began running through the roof of the Ban manor. Meanwhile, Xuanlong jumped down from Xin Ja\'s shoulder and quickly ran in another direction.

Her figure suddenly changes into a person.

As she passes by, several figures suddenly appear out of the darkness and chase after her.

Xuanlong became a female human wearing black clothes and a mask. But her long hair fluttered in the air showing a heroic aura.

A slight smirk appears on her mouth as she looks at the shadows chasing after her.

She suddenly jumps down from the roof and vanishes.

The figures arrive where she jumped and then look around.

"Where did she go?" one of them asked.

"I think she entered this building… Chase after her…" shouted another one.

The group then jumps down and then enters the building.

From the darkness, a lizard the size of a cat looks at them with a playful gaze from her large eyes.

She did not linger and quickly turns around to follow Xin Ja and the others.

Inside a small courtyard, there is a small well-protected room hidden deep in the underground. There are many guards standing around the room which looks like a prison cell.

For some unknown reason, the once prestigious master of the Ban clan was treated like a prisoner of his own household.

But luckily the room looks clean and well-maintained hence it does not look like a room that belongs to the dungeon.

Right at this moment, the two guards standing by the door of that room look calm while staring at the wall in front of them.

"Hey… This is getting boring…" one of the guards said.

"I know, but this is our duty…"

"Duty? Heh… If not for the master\'s command, I would not follow those bastards. Why would treat master this way?"

"Sssh… Keep your mouth shut. Although we are helpless, this is the only thing we can do for the master. We should protect this place no matter what."

"If only… If only Doctor Shin could enter this place… Master would be cured…"

"Yeah, but what can we do when those people are blocking their path…"

"The medical master of the family said that master only has 1 day left. After that…" the guard choked as he recalled how good Master Ban was towards them when he was still conscious.

The two talked for a while as they did not feel right. They wanted to help but they could not. And only by staying and guarding this place could they serve the master for the last time.

"Hmm… So… you guys wanted to help your master?" suddenly an old voice echoed from their side.

The two guards were shocked and quickly pointed their blades at the four people who suddenly appear near them.

"Who…" one of the guards wanted to shout but Medical Master Yu put his finger on his lips.

"Ssshh… We have not come here, and you did not see us here, right?" Medical Master Yu said as he opened his black robe and showed the white emblem inside.

When the two guards saw the emblem a strange feeling overcome them.

"Master is…"

"Ssshh… Remember… We did not come here… You did not see anyone."

Upon hearing this, the two guards nodded their heads and then went back to standing in attention.

When the people enter the room, one of the guards looks at his companion.

"They are… Doctor Shin, right?"

The other one nodded.

"I recognize that emblem… I\'ve seen once before…" he replied as a big smile appears on his face.

Meanwhile, the manor outside became a bit rowdy as the shadow guards began checking the courtyards for the presence of the intruder.

Inside the main hall

"What is happening?" shouted a middle-aged man.

"Sir, the shadow guards saw an intruder. It was a woman…" the guard reported.

"Damn it! Did they capture her?"

"No sir, I think she escaped…"

The man then looks at the other people inside the hall as the guard leaves.

"Big brother… do you think that those bastards enter our manor? I mean, they are just doctors, right? How could they do such a thing?" the woman who threatened Ban Railong at that time said with worry in her eyes.

"No… Father should not wake up. The condition of the Blue Dragon Sect is clear… We cannot gain their support and the clan if father wakes up…" another woman who has been strongly opposed to treating their Master Ban said.

"Do not worry too much. Tomorrow that stubborn old man would have already left this world…" a sinister glint appears on the middle-aged man\'s eyes appear.

"He would rather give the clan to that useless Ban Railong than to us his own children… Then he should not blame us for being too cruel, right?" he muttered.

"We should go to the underground room, just in case something really happens…" he suggested as he stood up.

Followed by the two women and their servants, the group began walking towards the small courtyard where Master Ban\'s room is.

The group soon arrives in the underground tunnel and the few of them covered their nose while showing a disgusted expression.

"Big brother, why did you put Father in this dirty place?"

"Humph… This is the only place that is easily protected and hard to enter. There are many traps in here that if you casually stroll around, you\'ll end up dead. So whoever intrudes here would surely die…" the middle-aged man said showing a sinister smile.

The group soon arrives in the direction of the room. When they saw the two guards standing not too far away they sneered at them.

"Those fools are truly loyal dogs of Father. Even in his death, they would still be here beside him…" one of the women said.

The rest giggles while showing mocking expressions on their faces.

However, the two guards who saw the group now has large beads of sweat on their forehead.

They did not expect that these people would come here.

"Damn this… Will they stop the operation of master?" they thought.

But before they could say anything, the middle-aged man has already arrived in front of them and slowly opens the door.
