Mo Ting frowned and was about to say something when the person behind him whispered something into his ear. His expression immediately changed and he smiled faintly. “So you’re Marshal Xiao’s grandson. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Young Master Xiao, don’t worry. I’ll definitely investigate as soon as possible.”

Xiao Han snorted coldly and did not say anything else.

Mo Ting hurriedly asked the Daoist priest to serve tea to Xiao Han. “Young Master Xiao, please sit.”

Xiao Han sat on the stool and asked with his legs crossed, “What’s the problem with the strange illness spreading here? My Xiao family has top-notch herbs.”

Mo Ting’s eyes darted around, and he said slowly, “Starting from noon today, many people on the mountain have developed red tumors. They’re densely packed and extremely painful to the touch.”

At first, everyone thought that they had encountered some herbs that they shouldn’t have touched and that they would be fine after eating some detoxifying herbs. However, they didn’t expect that the tumor would mature in ten minutes and explode automatically. The pus that erupted from the tumor had a stench that could make people vomit.

“Get someone to come over for me to take a look,” Xiao Han said.

Mo Ting casually waved his hand and a middle-aged man squatting in the corner walked over.

The moment the middle-aged man lifted his sleeve, everyone saw the huge tumor on his arm. The tumor was covered in blood vessels and the dense patterns made people uncomfortable.

“Tsk tsk, it looks really scary.”

“Eh, it’s almost the size of a pomegranate, right?”

“That’s disgusting.”

“Could they be cursed? Why would such a thing grow for no reason?”

“Look, the tumor seems to be about to explode!”

With this exclamation, the tumor grew at an extremely fast speed and doubled in size in everyone’s eyes.

“Pop!” There was a final crack, and the tumor exploded like a firecracker.

Red and purple pus squirted all over the ground. The scene was simply too horrible to look at. Many merchants could not help but want to vomit. A strong stench came from the center of the array. The smell was a mix of decaying rodents and rotting corpses.

“Wow…”

The first merchant who smelled it felt disgusted. He could not help but squat down and vomit. The smell was really terrible.

Fortunately, Yu Su had the foresight. She had already secretly used a talisman to block the spread of the smell so that she would not smell the stench. Before long, the smell dissipated.

The woman who looked like Yu Miao also walked out with an anxious expression. She looked at Mo Ting and said, “There’s also one on my body. Help me remove it quickly.”

“Ms. An, forgive me for being unable to help.” Steward Mo shook his head helplessly.

An Ran was so angry that she waved her sleeve. “You promised me that you wouldn’t let me get a strange illness too!”

The two of them argued for a while more, but their voices were blocked by the air shield.

In the crowd, the couple looked at each other. Liu Qin walked out. “Steward Mo, I know some medical skills. Why don’t I take a look at this lady?” She did not want to complicate matters. The goal this time was to find the herbs she needed. Staying here for too long would not benefit her.

Mo Ting nodded and gestured for An Ran to enter. Liu Qin gestured for her to reach out and take her pulse. Her expression was very solemn. “Your pulse is a little strange. Your body is so weak, but your face is rosy and shiny…”

“Enough, you don’t have to help me anymore.” Before Liu Qin could finish, An Ran pulled her hand back.

An Ran’s expression was very terrible. She wiped her wrist on her clothes, as if she couldn’t accept Liu Qin’s touch. Liu Qin was stunned on the spot.

An Ran glanced at her and said lightly, “I’m sorry. I’m a clean freak and don’t like outsiders touching me. Besides, you didn’t manage to tell any key information.”

She paused for a moment before continuing, “Also, this tumor is contagious.” As soon as she said this, the people closest to the two of them ran far away, as if they were afraid of being infected.

Liu Qin’s body also stiffened, and her face was filled with panic. Oh my god! What if she was also infected with a strange illness? If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have come out to offer her help. These people’s illnesses had nothing to do with her!

Seeing the panic on her face, An Ran couldn’t help but laugh. “Hehe, I’m lying to you. This disease will only spread to the people on Mount Zhongnan. Outsiders like you wouldn’t be infected. Look at how scared you are.” After she finished speaking, she slowly walked out of the array.

Chen Xi walked over and patted his wife’s hand. He comforted her, “It’s fine. It won’t spread to you. Don’t worry.”

Only then did Liu Qin relax.

“Is it really not contagious?”

“This disease isn’t contagious, so why is it only infecting the people on Mount Zhongnan? I still think it’s a curse.”

“That’s right. The way that tumor exploded just now was really terrifying.”
