Sweeping Through Martial Arts: My Clone's Extraordinary Talent

Squeak!

Shen Han opened the door.

Cao Lin, dressed in fine clothes, stepped into the room, carrying a wooden box in his hand, his face glowing.

"Judging from Young Master Cao's expression, I think he should be alright, right?"

Shen Han invited him to sit down, and smiled faintly.

Cao Lin cupped his hands and said, "Indeed, my father has been brought back from the dead. Doctor Shen's medical skills are truly remarkable. I didn't choose the wrong person!"

"In that case, our mission is complete."

Shen Han's fingers tapped lightly on the table.

Seeing this, Cao Lin said, "Of course, I came here specifically to escort you two down the mountain."

As he spoke, he opened the wooden box.

Inside were twenty-five packets of herbs wrapped in yellow paper, and a silver note with a face value of one hundred taels.

"Dr. Shen, all the medicinal herbs you requested are here."

Cao Lin handed the wooden box to Shen Han, saying, "The silver notes are Brother Feng Hao's reward."

Shen Han glanced at it and saw that these were the medicinal materials for the Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Strengthening Water that he had asked the Green Robe Gang to purchase three days ago. The Green Robe Gang was indeed well-connected and easily obtained the medicinal materials.

"Young Master Cao, we'll accept the gifts and take our leave."

"This way, please."

Cao Lin personally led the way, bringing Shen and Feng down Shiniu Mountain before sunset.

"Dr. Shen, have you heard of 'Reading Books'?"

After entering Shiniu Town at the foot of the mountain, Cao Lin suddenly turned around and blurted out a sentence.

"Reading books? I've heard about it."

Shen Han certainly remembered.

This woman was the most beautiful courtesan in Miaoyufang, the county town. She claimed to be acquainted with Dr. Lu Qiling and had even visited his clinic.

Cao Lin smiled mysteriously and chuckled, "To thank Doctor Shen for saving my life, I invited Guan Shu to Shiniu Town. Tonight, she will be your woman, Doctor Shen."

"This...isn't necessary."

"No problem, no problem. At the same time, I have also prepared two women from Miaoyu Pavilion for Brother Feng Hao."

As they spoke, they arrived at an inconspicuous courtyard.

The courtyard was about six or seven zhang in circumference. There was a herbal medicine shop on the left and a pawnshop on the right. At the northernmost part of the courtyard was a two-story wooden building.

Upon entering the building, two beautiful young women greeted him. They were indeed dressed in the neon gauze dresses of Miaoyufang, with delicate and charming appearances and alluring demeanor.

"You all take good care of Brother Feng."

Cao Lin immediately gave the order.

"yes!"

The woman reached out and pulled Feng Hao into the inner room on the first floor, one on each side.

Cao Lin then said to Shen Han, "Doctor Shen, the courtesan is waiting upstairs. Please come in."

Shen Han didn't move.

"I'm just a humble doctor, I'm afraid I can't afford it."

Cao Lin laughed and put his arm around Shen Han's shoulder: "What are you saying, Physician Shen? Just enjoy yourself. My Qingyi Gang has already settled the bill."

Doctor Shen, please go upstairs quickly.

Many men have spent fortunes to see Guanshu, but tonight, on this auspicious night, she will only serve you. I shall take my leave.

"Alright, I'll go up and take a look..." Shen Han thought to himself. It was impossible for him to become a ladybug, but he could ask her about Doctor Lu.

I strolled up to the second floor.

This is an elegant, antique-style residence, with pale pink silk hanging throughout the room. At the far end is a large bed, and strangely, instead of a dressing table, there is a huge bookshelf crammed with all sorts of books.

"Dr. Shen, you've arrived..."

A graceful woman sat in front of the bookshelf, her slender hands turning the pages of a book.

It's time to read!

Shen Han thought to himself that the courtesan's stage name was not a mistake.

Guan Shu stood up and said, "Doctor Shen, how have you been? I am very grateful."

She bowed slightly to Shen Han.

Every gesture she makes reveals her true nature as a courtesan.

Shen Han laughed: "I really didn't expect that Miaoyu Workshop had a hidden agent in Shiniu Town."

"No, this place has nothing to do with Miaoyu Workshop."

Guan Shu replied, "This pavilion is merely a place where I occasionally relax."

Doctor Shen, you are highly regarded by Young Master Cao, you must have extraordinary abilities.

"In my life, I admire capable men the most. Here, this cup of wine is my toast to you."

As he spoke, he personally poured a cup of wine from the wine pot.

"I am not a good drinker."

Shen Han didn't answer. "Miss Guanshu, I came upstairs to see you with no ulterior motives. I just have a question I'd like to ask you."

"Speaking."

He slowly put down his wine cup while reading.

Shen Han asked seriously, "What exactly is your relationship with Dr. Lu Qiling of my clinic?"

"Giggle..."

Upon hearing this, Guan Shu covered her mouth and laughed, "Doctor Shen actually asked about other men in front of me."

Shen Han remained calm and observed her eyes.

Seeing nothing amiss, she slowly said, "Doctor Lu is shrewd, capable, and handsome; I greatly admire him."

However, he disappeared without any apparent reason.

Whenever I think of this, I become lost in thought, heartbroken and dejected for a long time.

It seems he wasn't lying... Shen Han thought to himself.

However, we cannot draw a definitive conclusion, after all, she was a courtesan, and acting was her forte.

"However, I am not sad now."

"Um?"

"Because of Physician Shen, I know that you are better than Physician Lu. I want to drink the nuptial wine with you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she gracefully offered her a wine glass.

As she drew closer, a pleasant aroma of wine wafted over.

"Miss, there's no need for wine."

Shen Han refused again, then walked to the bookshelf. "To be honest, I also enjoy reading. May I take a look at these books?"

Guan Shu was taken aback: "Please feel free to ask, Physician Shen."

Thank you!

Shen Han didn't stand on ceremony and started rummaging through the bookshelf.

His only purpose in wanting to read the book was to see if he could find a suitable secret manual!

So far, the only skill he has mastered is the "Ancient Yang Skill," and his martial arts include the "Angry Dragon Divine Fist" and the "Sky-Splitting Blade Technique," which are clearly somewhat limited. He lacks finger techniques, sword techniques, archery, leg techniques, lightness skills, and so on.

Since there's a bookshelf here, why not try my luck? If I find the secret manual, I can just borrow it under any pretext.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

There were many books on the bookshelf, over a hundred in total, but without exception, they were all strange and unusual stories.

For example, "Dancing Universe": the coming-of-age story of a dancing boy.

"Mysterious Buildings": Introduces the mysterious buildings scattered throughout the Xuanzhao Kingdom.

Douluo Dalu: A myth about a deer that becomes a spirit.

"Who Allowed Him to Relax": This article calls on workers to work hard and not be idle.

"The Debate on the Stars": A debate on celestial phenomena.

"The Ultimate Family Cauldron": A crime-solving story related to a medicine-refining furnace.

"The Rolling People of Dafeng" describes the hardships of life for the lower classes in a fictional country.

"Night Without Sauce": This admonishes people not to put soy sauce in their dinner.

Shen Han searched for a full quarter of an hour, but unfortunately, he did not find any books related to martial arts manuals.

"Goodbye, Miss Reading Books."

So he didn't linger any longer, opened the door and went downstairs.

Guan Shu had no choice but to let him leave. She sighed softly and put the wine glass back on the table.

"Senior Brother Shen!"

As soon as they went downstairs, they saw Feng Hao already waiting at the door. Clearly, Feng Hao wasn't with the two women either.

"Walk!"

The two exchanged a glance, their understanding unspoken.

But they hadn't gone far from Shiniu Town when, under the cover of night, Feng Hao suddenly exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no! I forgot my medicine chest in the other courtyard. Senior Brother Shen, wait for me a moment, I'll go get it right away."

After saying that, he ran off towards Shiniu Town.
