Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 1161: Chapter 1164: Doubts (Part 1)

Since he couldn’t figure it out, Lin Xi didn’t bother wasting energy on it.

He’d originally thought about teaching Xuanyuan Fist to the three girls to give it a try.

Mengmeng turned him down flat, saying she already had a bunch of combat skills she couldn’t finish learning.

As for Qiaoqiao, she had zero interest in this kind of hard, ferocious Fist Skill.

Bai Bing actually showed a bit of interest, but after trying to learn it, even though her posture was correct and she used the Heart Method, there was no effect at all.

Lin Xi thought about it and figured it was probably because of a mismatch with her Cultivation Technique.

As for the Xuanyuan Divine Dragon Art, he’d never considered teaching it to anyone.

This was the foundation that let him stand on his own feet and become stronger.

Even to the people closest to him, he wouldn’t teach it.

It might actually end up harming them.

After that, the giant bear and Ginseng King stayed home to guard the house, Bai Bing went to work, and Lin Xi headed to school.

It had been so many days!

Ever since the semester started, he basically hadn’t attended class properly.

Qiaoqiao and Mengmeng couldn’t sit still either; they were sick of staying at home all the time.

The two little ones applied to him, saying they wanted to go out and have some fun.

Lin Xi had originally wanted to refuse, but then he remembered that Mengmeng was no longer that clueless girl from before.

Plus, with her strength at the Innate Realm, she really wouldn’t have any problem outside.

In the past, quite a lot of experts had come to Chuzhou City.

Among them there had even been Innate-level people!

But since there had been no news of Su Xiong and the other two for so long, those experts gradually left.

All of this was information Xu Hong had told him.

So he agreed.

Now, if the two of them ran into bad guys while playing outside, it would be the bad guys who suffered.

Honestly, even if there were still some hidden experts who hadn’t left, they might not be able to handle the two little ones.

The giant bear and Ginseng King, seeing the two little ones getting to go out and play, both looked at Lin Xi with eager, expectant faces.

Lin Xi turned them down on the spot!

Come on, if those two went out strolling, it would definitely make massive headlines.

Even with pet registration certificates, it wouldn’t help.

A bear that huge—anyone with a weak heart would probably faint from fright on sight.

As for Ginseng King, it would absolutely be labeled a monster on the spot.

So in the end, it was just the giant bear and Ginseng King left looking pitiful and helpless as they stayed home on guard duty.

When he arrived at school, Peng Bo, Xiong Haitao, and Cui Hua saw Lin Xi and their faces lit up with joy.

There was a round of hugs and whatnot; if Lin Xi hadn’t stopped them, somebody might actually have kissed him.

"Boss, we really missed you to death!" Peng Bo looked like he was seeing someone who’d come back from the dead.

Xiong Haitao and Cui Hua both nodded rapidly at the side.

Lin Xi was speechless. Did they have to exaggerate this much?

It had only been, what, five or six days?

They were acting like it was some life-or-death parting.

Also, if the other classmates didn’t know he had a girlfriend, they’d definitely think he was gay.

"Boss, where’ve you been these past few days?"

"Why didn’t you send any messages at all?"

"And a few days ago we called you, but your phone couldn’t be reached!"

As for the phone not getting through, that was entirely possible for Lin Xi.

Out at sea, his phone often had no signal.

As for where he’d been, he casually answered, "Just went to teach a lesson to some people, nothing big!"

Peng Bo and Xiong Haitao both looked at him with eager, expectant faces, but Lin Xi didn’t continue.

Instead, Cui Hua asked thoughtfully, "Boss, that Xiangjiang incident, don’t tell me that was you?"

Lin Xi froze. "..."

He glanced at Fourth, Cui Hua, in surprise. You even guessed that?

Seeing Lin Xi’s expression, Peng Bo’s face was full of shock as he immediately pressed, "Boss, don’t tell me it really was you?"

Xiong Haitao scratched his head, looking a bit dazed; he clearly had no idea what Boss, Second, and Fourth were talking about.

"Alright, the teacher’s here. Class first—we’re outstanding students!" Lin Xi said, putting on a very serious look at the teacher, leaving the three of them utterly stunned.

"Boss is an outstanding student?"

"Did something go wrong somewhere?"

"How could Boss possibly be?"

"Has Boss ever attended a few days of class in a complete stretch?"

He probably hadn’t even come to half as many classes as they had.

Sure, they often skipped class too, but Boss just flat-out didn’t show up most of the time.

The annoying part was, they’d had a bunch of points deducted by the teachers, but Boss seemed to have some green channel opened for him.

These days, the teachers basically ignored Boss.

It was like he’d never existed in their classrooms.

But this period, they actually saw Boss seriously listening in class and even taking some notes.

That made them doubt if this was really their Boss.

After finishing the two morning periods, Peng Bo and the other two planned to ask Lin Xi to go eat with them.

After all, the four of them hadn’t eaten together in a long time.

Or rather, the three of them hadn’t eaten with Lin Xi in a long time.

They also wanted to show Lin Xi how much progress they’d made in strength lately.

But Lin Xi turned them down.

He hadn’t seen Gu Xiaoxian in class.

Previously, Gu Xiaoxian had gone home once because someone in her hometown had died.

But now it had been so many days, and she still wasn’t back at school.

Logically speaking, even if the mourning period was seven or eight days, Gu Xiaoxian should have returned by now.

After grabbing a quick bite outside, he headed straight to the Flying Car Bar.

Xu Hong and Wenhai were both at the bar.

Their strength had improved quite a bit too.

At this rate it wouldn’t be long before they broke through to intermediate King of Soldiers.

This pace was frighteningly fast.

But Lin Xi wasn’t surprised, since he’d already given them pills.

You had to know, those pills were a huge help even to a Peak Soldier King.

So for them, the effect was downright astonishing.

After asking about their situation, he learned that Gu Xiaoxian had actually come back to attend classes for a few days, but then someone else in her hometown died, so she went back again with Gu Lan.

"She came to school?"

Lin Xi was stunned. He hadn’t asked any other classmates.

In his view, since he’d already assigned people to protect Gu Xiaoxian, asking Xu Hong and Wenhai would definitely give him a clearer picture.

So there was no need to ask other classmates.

But the next moment, he noticed that Xu Hong and Wenhai both had somewhat puzzled expressions.

"What is it?" he asked.

Xu Hong thought for a moment, then looked at Wenhai. Wenhai said, "Boss, it’s like this."

"The two of us have some doubts about Sister Gu’s hometown."

"Hmm?" Lin Xi frowned.

Could something have happened?

Then he heard Wenhai continue, "According to the men we sent to protect Miss Gu, in that place, within just one month, a total of eight people have died."

"Two of them are related to Sister Gu’s family, which is why she went back twice."

Here he paused for a moment. "What’s odd is that these eight people weren’t all old folks."

"Four of them were middle-aged, one was elderly, and three were women."

"And they all died in the exact same place!"
