My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

This system task can be said to have been the easiest one to complete yet.

Cheng Guang hadn't even set out to search when Li Tongzhen came to him on his own initiative.

Moreover, Li Tongzhen was facing difficulties and was seeking Cheng Guang's help.

If it weren't for Cheng Guang having experienced it himself and having heard the system telling him in his own ears that his mission was completed,

Cheng Guang might even think he was dreaming.

Cheng Guang pondered, his primordial spirit rose, floating towards the Million Specie Garden.

As Cheng Guang entered Duke Zhen's Mansion, walking towards the Million Specie Garden,

...

Inside one of the physician's clinics in the inner city,

Wang Ruoguan sat by the bed, applying medicine to the girl lying there.

The girl's arm was wrapped in a bandage soaked with blood, turning the entire bandage red.

Drop by drop, her bright red blood was slowly dripping down her arm, forearm, and fingertips.

With the ticking of the blood, the girl's life seemed to be on the countdown as well.

Her pale eyes shimmered with deep sadness.

"Where is Tongzhen?"

"How is he doing?"

Qingqing looked at Wang Ruoguan by her side.

Wang Ruoguan, a bit surprised at Qingqing's words, looked at her.

A normal person who had lost so much blood wouldn't be able to talk, let alone wake up.

How could this girl manage to wake up and even speak?

This wasn't normal.

Wang Ruoguan was momentarily stunned, then quickly came to his senses, realizing that the Tongzhen this girl referred to must be the beggar who had just left.

He intended to tell Qingqing that Li Tongzhen went to the Duke's Mansion to demand the forbidden medicine antidote.

But then,

thinking that with Li Tongzhen's identity, it was impossible for him to enter the Duke's Mansion, much less meet the Duke's Heir,

Wang Ruoguan swallowed back the words he was about to say.

He didn't want to give Qingqing false hope only to watch it shatter before her eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he said,

"He should be back soon."

The weak and pale Qingqing showed a hint of red on her face when she heard Wang Ruoguan's words, obviously happy to hear that Li Tongzhen would be back soon.

But in just a short moment,

the hint of red on her face faded away again.

Her breath grew even weaker.

Wang Ruoguan watched Qingqing's condition with a moved expression on his aged face, sighed, and thought that without the antidote, with the blood flowing out of Qingqing like this,

it was feared that she wouldn't last even a quarter of an hour.

He sighed, somewhat unwillingly lowered the curtain at the head of the bed,

creating a quieter space for Qingqing.

Just as he was about to push the door open to step outside for some air,

suddenly, from the darkness of the night, he saw a burly Great Han charging towards him.

Under the shroud of night,

Mr. Zhao sprinted like the wind, his figure blurring with vague shadows, his footsteps strong yet not heavy.

He ran up to Wang Ruoguan and came to an abrupt stop.

"Where is that girl?"

Mr. Zhao asked urgently.

Wang Ruoguan, puzzled, looked at Mr. Zhao, "She's still all right for now, but won't be for much longer."

"And that beggar you were with?"

As he spoke, Wang Ruoguan peered behind Mr. Zhao.

However, he did not see the frail beggar with resolute eyes anywhere near Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao, when asked in such a manner by Wang Ruoguan, said nothing, merely silently taking out the antidote from his chest.

The antidote shimmered under the moonlight, resembling a lustrous pearl.

Mr. Zhao handed the antidote to Wang Ruoguan.

Wang Ruoguan, utterly astonished and confused at the sight of the antidote, took it and looked bewilderingly at Mr. Zhao. Find adventures at empire

"Mr. Zhao, how did you come by this antidote?"

Mr. Zhao shook his head, "It wasn't me who got it, it was that child."

"Don't ask now, go save her."

Seeing that Mr. Zhao was not in the mood to explain further, Wang Ruoguan didn't hesitate and hurried back to Qingqing's bedside, flinging the curtains open.

Wang Ruoguan unhesitatingly removed the bandage from Qingqing's arm and poured the antidote onto her wound.

The moment the antidote touched Qingqing's wound, her body immediately began to change.

The wound that had failed to heal for so long visibly started to recover.

The continuous outpouring of blood, too, stopped.

Gradually,

Qingqing's complexion turned rosy, and her breathing stabilized.

Wang Ruoguan, seeing Qingqing like this, let out a breath of relief.

Qingqing looked at Wang Ruoguan with gratitude.

She opened her mouth slightly,

"Thank you, sir."

But Wang Ruoguan shook his head, pointing to Mr. Zhao at his side, "You should thank him."

"He's the one who brought back the antidote."

Qingqing turned her gaze to Mr. Zhao.

When Mr. Zhao heard this, he had a bitter smile on his face and shook his head, signalling her not to talk.

However, Qingqing couldn't stay still, and once she regained some strength, she sat up and looked at Mr. Zhao to ask,

"Where is Tongzhen?"

Qingqing knew.

Li Tongzhen should be with Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao, seeing that Qingqing was recovering well, prepared to leave without intending to answer Qingqing's question.

But just as he reached the door,

Mr. Zhao paused for a moment, then without turning his head, said to Qingqing, "He's probably gone..."
