Once Lin Fan and Yun Lan left the store, the boss couldn't help looking in their direction.

His brows were still knitted as if he was thinking about something.

The people that he was with saw this and were about to say something when the boss suddenly said, "It smells like the Dragon Tongue Herb."

They fell silent when they heard this and waited for the boss to finish his thoughts.

After a long time, the boss suddenly stood up and walked out without saying a thing.

The people he was with looked down at the table before revealing bitter smiles.

He had left without paying.

After the boss left the restaurant, he snapped his finger and a figure in black clothes appeared behind him.

The boss said to him, "Go to that orphanage Xiao Lang mentioned yesterday and I want you to.."

After receiving his orders, the black clothed figure gave a nod before disappearing.

The boss just looked in the direction that Lin Fan and Yun Lan had walked off in for a bit before heading off in a different direction.

..

Lin Fan and Yun Lan didn't head back right away and took a longer and more scenic route.

Even if Night Fang City was a terrible place, there were parts of it that were still good.

There was a park that had been built in a certain area that most people didn't know about since it was a place that only nobles went to. So the guards there didn't stop them since they figured that the only people that came here were nobles.

They were able to have a nice scenic walk through the park before heading back.

But when they came back to the orphanage, they immediately noticed that something was off.

There was no sound at all.

This was an orphanage that was filled with young children, so it would always be filled with noise.

But right now, they couldn't hear a single thing.

Without any hesitation, Lin Fan pulled out a dagger and made his way into the orphanage.

There was nothing wrong with the gate, but when he came closer, he found that the door had been knocked on.

Yun Lan had been slowly following behind him, but when she saw that the door had been knocked down, she couldn't hold back at all and charged into the orphanage. The moment that she went in, she couldn't help screaming at the scene that she saw.

Lin Fan gritted his teeth before also charging in.

However, he didn't find what he had expected.

There was no bloody scene in front of him.

The orphanage itself was only a bit messy because a few of the things in it had been shattered. The kids though were all sitting there in a daze, as if something had shocked them, but there wasn't a single injury on them.

So as far as Lin Fan could tell, there shouldn't be anything that would make her scream.

That is until he saw what Yun Lan was holding.

It was the body of her friend and she wasn't moving at all.

Yun Lan had covered up the body when he had come in, so he hadn't seen it at first. But now that he looked more closely, he could tell that there was blood coming from her head and it didn't seem like she was breathing.

Lin Fan immediately kneeled down beside Yun Lan and pulled her away.

Yun Lan tried to resist at first, but Lin Fan said in a firm voice, "Let me take a look at her."

Yun Lan's body trembled when she heard this, but then she stopped resisting and made way for Lin Fan. She stood up and looked around as if she wanted to find something to do, but there was nothing for her to do.

So in the end, all she did was stand around him and watch on with a nervous look.

Lin Fan had taken her pulse and knew that her heart had stopped.

So he reached one of his hands out and held his thumb and index finger out, leaving a tiny gap in between them.

There was a sudden flash of electricity that appeared in between this gap between his fingers.

He brought his hand down right up to the friend's chest and then suddenly thrust it down where her heart was. The moment that the electricity made contact with her body, she trembled before falling still again.

Lin Fan's other hand was still taking her pulse during this.

Seeing that nothing changed, he raised his hand up again and electricity was gathered once more.

After waiting for a bit, he brought it down and zapped her again with it.

But once again, there was nothing that changed.

Lin Fan didn't give up as he continued shocking her again and again.

However, there wasn't any effect other than her body trembling from being shocked.

Yun Lan watched silently at first, but seeing that nothing changed, she couldn't help getting more and more worried.

Finally she couldn't take it anymore and said in a concerned voice, "What are you.."

Before she could finish her words, her friend's body suddenly trembled before spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Lin Fan didn't do anything at first when he saw this as he kept taking her pulse. Only when he felt her pulse again did he take his hand off her wrist and pick up a shirt from the side to wipe her mouth off.

Then he opened up her mouth and made sure that there wasn't any blood obstructing her airway.

Only after confirming all of this did he let out a sigh of relief.

Yun Lan saw this and couldn't help holding her breath, but she was still looking at her friend with a worried look.

That was because there was still a large wound that was bleeding on her head.

Lin Fan had only brought her back from the brink of death, but that didn't mean that she was safe yet. If he didn't fix her up and stop the bleeding, then she would die from blood loss.

With how pale her face and lips were, it didn't seem like it would be long before she died.

Lin Fan looked at the wound before revealing a difficult look.

He could do basic first aid like this and resuscitate her because of his training from Earth, but he wasn't skilled enough to fix the large wound on her head.

So he had no choice but to..

After hesitating for a bit, he pulled out a pill after seeing the look on Yun Lan's face.

He brought this pill over to the friend's mouth and put it in.

The moment that the pill was swallowed, the wound on her head started to close and the bleeding stopped.

When Yun Lan saw this, she couldn't help staring at the wound in shock as she didn't understand what was happening. She had never seen medicine that had worked like this before.

She knew that this kind of effect definitely meant that this wasn't a normal pill, so she couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with a grateful look.

He was even willing to sacrifice such an important pill just to save her friend..

But in truth, that wasn't what it was.

Lin Fan had used a normal Qi Gathering Realm healing pill, but he had also slipped something else in the friend's mouth. It was a tiny, tiny drop of Clear Water.

Clear Water didn't just have the effect of increasing one's cultivation with the large amount of spiritual energy that it contained, it also helped increase the effect of healing pills that it was taken with.

So the effect of the Qi Gathering Realm pill had been multiplied with this drop of Clear Water.

After the wound closed and the expression on the face of the friend relaxed, both Lin Fan and Yun Lan let out sighs of relief.

Lin Fan used his spiritual energy to help the friend recover some energy while also making sure that nothing else was wrong with her.

Seeing that there was nothing left for her to do, Yun Lan finally turned her attention to the kids who had been standing around in a daze.

She had been too worried about her friend that she had neglected these kids and the state of the house. But now that she was relaxed, she went over to each of the kids and comforted them.

However, after comforting the kids, she realized that something was off..

She couldn't help counting the kids that were here before knitting her brows.

After counting them two more times, she suddenly asked the kids, "Is there anyone else upstairs or outside?"

The kids who had slowly come back to their senses shook their heads.

Seeing this, Yun Lan couldn't help turning and running up the stairs to check. Then just as quickly, she ran down the stairs and out the door to check around the building.

When she came back, she had a very worried look on her face as she checked every corner of this room.

Lin Fan could see that something was off, so he turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yun Lan turned to look at Lin Fan with a look of despair and said, "There are two kids who are missing."

Lin Fan knitted his brows and released his spiritual sense to sweep the house, but he couldn't find them either.

Sensing this, Lin Fan could only think of one possibility, so he turned to the kids and asked, "Did the person who attacked this place take anyone?"

After looking at him in a daze for a bit, the kids slowly nodded.
