Chapter 281: Guest Minister Elder

The man was startled, "Why? This was prescribed by Second Miss Lin; she's a disciple of the Divine Medicine Sect, it can't be wrong!"

She is a disciple of the Divine Medicine Sect; even our Miss and the Sect Master must pay utmost respect to the Guest Minister Elder!

Leng Yue pursed her lips.

Ye Qingran, however, didn't think much of it.

She only found it pathetic.

The common folk place unconditional trust in the Divine Medicine Sect; Lin Xuewei, as a disciple of the Divine Medicine Sect, is thus so irresponsible. As a healer, she naturally would not stand by idly.

"If I said that drinking the medicine from this prescription would end your life with a wail?"

The middle‑aged man was startled, briefly intimidated by Ye Qingran's aura. Yet on second thought, the one who prescribed the medicine was a disciple of the Divine Medicine Sect! Moreover, he wasn't suffering any serious illness; how could a disciple of the Divine Medicine Sect possibly make a mistake?

If it wasn't Lin Xuewei's fault, then it must be that this stunning woman before him is deliberately trying to upset him.

"Miss, although I admit you're very beautiful, you still can't spout nonsense! This prescription was given to me by Second Miss Lin of the Lin Family; how could it possibly be wrong?"

The man's voice was loud, drawing the attention of those nearby.

"Exactly, miss, you couldn't have gotten it wrong, could you?"

"Miss, Second Miss Lin of the Lin Family is a disciple of the Divine Medicine Sect! How could she prescribe the wrong formula?"

"You aren't here to pick a fight, are you?"

……

The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of the manager of Cao Mu Xuan.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Who allowed you to shout loudly here? What happened?"

The hunter‑man raised his prescription and explained to the manager, "I'm not the one causing the noise on purpose; this miss said my prescription has a problem and that drinking the medicine would kill!"

The manager, upon seeing Ye Qingran, flashed a glance, clearly recognizing her.

"So it's Miss Ye! I wonder what opinion Miss Ye has about the prescription our family's Second Miss opened?"

His tone was full of disdain.

He didn't think Ye Qingran understood any medical arts!

Lin Xuewei, on her side, also heard the commotion; upon hearing the manager say that Ye Qingran had objections to her prescription, a highly disdainful curl formed at the corner of her mouth.

Her medical skill, treating these patients, is more than sufficient; how could it possibly go wrong?

Even if we take a step back and say she really misread it, how could a worthless trash like Ye Qingran possibly spot a problem in the prescription?

Thus, she concluded that Ye Qingran was deliberately picking a fight!

Heh, she hasn't even gone to find her, yet she, lacking sense, came knocking herself?

Since that's the case, don't blame her for being impolite!

Lin Xuewei slowly rose to her feet and walked over here.

"Ah, so it's Miss Ye of the Ye Family, Ye Qingran. I wonder what opinion you have of my prescription?" she said, without waiting for Ye Qingran to answer, and continued, "If I recall correctly, Miss Ye, you don't seem to understand any medical arts, do you? You publicly question my prescription here, making me suspect that you're deliberately picking a fight!"

She slightly lifted her chin, the curve of her lips tinged with contempt.

"Deliberately picking a fight with you?" Ye Qingran smiled, "You even deserve it?"

Lin Xuewei was merely a low‑ranking disciple of the Divine Medicine Sect; before the ten Elders and the Sect Master of the Divine Medicine Sect, she didn't even have the right to speak.

Lin Xuewei's eyes darkened.

Ye Qingran actually dared to speak to her like that?

Good!

Very good!

"Ye Qingran, if I recall correctly, you're nothing but a waste without even a Spiritual Root!"

"So what?"

"So? If I were you, I'd be too embarrassed to go out!"

Han Xing squinted his eyes and scoffed, "Second Miss Lin says that, you will never become a lady like those in my family in this lifetime. After all, not everyone can, without a second thought, crush a Holy Spiritual Root. If it were you, Second Miss Lin, would you dare?"

When Han Xing said that, it reminded everyone of half a month ago when Ye Qingran extracted her own Holy Spiritual Root from Ye Huanhuan and, in front of everyone, crushed it in her hand.

It truly was decisive and resolute, beyond everyone's expectations.

Since then, everyone has known how utterly unyielding Ye Qingran is!

Crushed a Holy Spiritual Root?

What is going on?

Lin Xuewei slightly widened her eyes, a blank stare flickering within.

She had just returned from the Divine Medicine Sect and hadn't learned about the situation here.

A Lin Family attendant behind her whispered into Lin Xuewei's ear at this moment, and only then did Lin Xuewei realize.

Ye Qingran actually crushed her own Spiritual Root?

She must be crazy!

However, she's truly foolish; crushing her own Spiritual Root is cutting off her own future path.

"Ye Qingran, do you think you're so carefree? In my eyes, this is a foolish act! Without a Spiritual Root, you're an outright waste!"

Lin Xuewei mocked without any courtesy.

The crowd, hearing this, found Lin Xuewei's expression rather odd.

"What? Did I speak poorly?"

Lin Xuewei wore an arrogant face.

"Second Miss Lin, you may have just returned and not know yet, Miss Ye, though she lacks a Spiritual Root, she single‑handedly defeated the prodigy Ling Qingwu of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect!"

What!

Lin Xuewei's pupils contracted.

"How is this possible?!"

Even though she had no acquaintance with Ling Qingwu, she had also heard this name. The daughter of the Qingyun Sword Immortal, a Wind and Cloud Disciple ranked among the top ten of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect!

Even Lin Xuewei is not her opponent.

How could a mere trash possibly defeat Ling Qingwu?

"What's impossible about that? After all, you can even enter the Divine Medicine Sect!"

A voice cut in, and Ye Qingran didn't need to look to know who it was.

Indeed, Xia Zhimeng's presence is everywhere!

Xia Zhimeng walked through the crowd toward Ye Qingran, a brilliant smile on her face. Ye Qingran rubbed her head, and she looked up and called her Sister Ran.

Lin Xuewei stared at Xia Zhimeng, her eyes deep and heavy.

"Xuewei entered the Divine Medicine Sect relying on her own talent!"

"When she took the Divine Medicine Sect's entrance exam, I was there too—she completely had the ability to enter the Divine Medicine Sect!"

……

The disciples of the Divine Medicine Sect also spoke up one after another to speak for Lin Xuewei.

Lin Xuewei's expression improved a little. "Fine, even if you really defeated Ling Qingwu, so what? I've never heard of you having any contact with medicine. So how do you explain your claim that my prescription is problematic?"

Everyone's eyes were on Ye Qingran, and they inwardly agreed with Lin Xuewei's words.

Recently, Ye Qingran has been in the limelight. However, the abilities she has shown are nothing more than swordsmanship and martial strength, with no talent in medicine whatsoever.

Ye Qingran's doubt about Lin Xuewei's prescription really lacks persuasiveness.

"Look for yourself!"

Ye Qingran tossed the prescription to Lin Xuewei; Lin Xuewei caught it, glanced at it, and confidently said, "My prescription has no problem!"

Hearing Lin Xuewei say that, the hunter man who had still been immersed in the shock that the woman before him was Ye Qingran came to his senses and said to Ye Qingran, "Miss Ye, you also heard it—this prescription has no problem."

Ye Qingran gave him a sideways glance, her eyes gradually turning cold. "Really? Then take another good look at this patient."

"What's there to look at? How could I possibly be wrong?"

However, to leave an impression of caution before everyone, she still took another look for him.

The symptoms basically matched the condition corresponding to her prescription.

"I told you, how could I…" Lin Xuewei gloated, but when she saw the last symptom, her expression changed slightly.
