Chapter 381

Then thank you, Miss Lin!

Several National Lords rose, took the elixir from Lin Xueyan, and carefully put it away.

Several of Your Majesties, you're being too polite. The three of Your Majesties came especially for me, so I cannot let them leave empty-handed.

At Lin Xueyan's place, there is still one last elixir.

"If I'm not mistaken, this last elixir is meant for Leng Feng." Ye Qingran said softly.

"But, Grand General Leng just now, in front of everyone, smashed the Blood Jade Bracelet, which counts as falling out with the Lin Family, and Lin Xueyan is now giving an elixir to Leng Feng— isn't that too much of a simp?"

Isn't she exactly that kind of person?

Han Xing Leng Yue: "......"

That statement seems fine.

As expected, Lin Xueyan gave the elixir to the four National Lords, then turned and walked toward Leng Feng.

"Grand General Leng, this elixir is for you, consider it a junior's token. I also hope you, being magnanimous, will forgive my sister this once."

One must admit, Lin Xueyan still speaks with skill.

If Leng Feng accepts this elixir, it means he forgives Lin Xuewei; if he doesn't accept it, it means he lacks magnanimity.

Everyone showed an interested expression, waiting for Leng Feng's response.

Will Leng Feng accept or reject Lin Xueyan's elixir?

Leng Feng looked at Lin Xueyan, his resolute face showing a cold intent.

After a moment's thought, he spoke loudly: "Lin Xuewei has deceived my wife for so long, I haven't yet settled the score with her— how can you ask me to forgive her?"

Lin Xueyan's expression changed.

She thought, Ye Qingran had ruined Lin Xuewei, so Leng Feng wouldn't be on the same level as her.

Unexpectedly...

For a moment, Lin Xueyan didn't know how to respond.

"Well, I'll accept this elixir, and I won't bother Lin Xuewei anymore." Leng Feng appeared easygoing. Anyway, Lin Xuewei has been ruined by Ye Qingran; if he still bothered her, it would really show his narrow-mindedness!

This...

They were dumbfounded.

Secretly admiring Leng Feng, indeed the old ginger is spicy!

Lin Xueyan originally wanted to exchange an elixir for the Leng Family's forgiveness, but instead she lost both the chicken and the rice!

What followed was even more unimaginable.

"Little thing, do you like eating elixirs?"

Leng Feng said in the direction where Ye Qingran was.

Little thing?

Everyone subconsciously thought he was speaking to the two children beside Ye Qingran.

Could Leng Feng be intending to give Lin Xueyan's elixir as a gift to Ye Qingran's children?

But there are two children, yet only one elixir— not enough to share...

Soon they realized they were overthinking!

Because, the "little thing" Leng Feng referred to is not the two children at all, but the cat in Ye Qingran's arms that sleeps 360 days out of 365.

"Xiao Bai loves eating elixirs the most!"

"The higher the grade, the more it likes it!"

Mo Xiaohu and Fu Qianchen exchanged words.

Their only two impressions of Xiao Bai are eating elixirs and sleeping.

"If that's the case, then I'll give it to you!"

Leng Feng said generously.

What?

Everyone felt like they were about to be frightened silly.

A sixth-grade elixir, Leng Feng uses it to feed a cat?

Such a waste of heavenly treasure!

Lin Xueyan's face at this moment was almost as black as a pot bottom.

What does Leng Feng mean by this?

Does he look down on her elixir?

The sixth-grade elixir she painstakingly refined, Leng Feng uses to feed a cat— what's the difference between that and publicly slapping Lin Xueyan's face?

Lin Xueyan's face turned as black as a pot bottom!

What's more speechless is that the cat merely sniffed the elixir, having no appetite to eat it at all!

On the cat's face, a look of disdain appeared, almost human-like!

The sixth-grade elixir Lin Xueyan refined was actually despised!

Or rather, despised by a cat!!!

Mo Xiaohu and Fu Qianchen were not surprised.

"Xiao Bai is very picky!"

"Ordinary elixirs, it doesn't eat!"

Everyone: "......"

Is a sixth-grade elixir still considered an ordinary elixir?

Where is this raising a cat? This is simply raising a big boss!

No, whose young master has it this hard to serve?

Pairs of eyes looked at Lin Xueyan, all filled with endless sympathy.

Lin Xueyan's refined sixth‑grade medicinal pills—Ye Qingran's cat won't even look at them!

Isn't that too miserable?

"Xiao Huihui, do you want to eat?" Mo Xiaohu asked the sparrow on his shoulder.

"No, no, Xiao Huihui doesn't like to eat the ugly woman's medicinal pill!" Xiao Huihui firmly refused. Although it's a glutton, it's a principled glutton!

Everyone was speechless again.

Even Ye Qingran's sparrow won't eat it!

It even called Lin Xueyan an ugly woman!

"Grandpa, next time take the medicinal pill to Ting Yu Xuan; Xiao Yin's mouth isn't picky, maybe it'll eat it?" Fu Qianchen said with an unsure expression.

Everyone: "……"

No sixth‑grade medicinal pill in history is more despised than this!

The four National Lords who received Lin Xueyan's medicinal pills felt that the pills in their hands instantly lost their fragrance.

"Ye Qingran, since you can cure Lady Leng's old ailment, you must also be able to refine pills; otherwise, refine a pill and show it to everyone."

The speaker was Gu Huanghou.

As soon as these words were spoken, they drew curious glances from everyone.

Since Ye Qingran's medical skills are so superb, does that mean she also knows the way of pill refinement?

"Mother Empress, you're overestimating Ye Qingran, aren't you? Medical skill and pill refinement are completely different matters. Not everyone is like Lin Xueyan, who understands both medicine and pill refinement!" the Thirteenth Princess said sarcastically.

Gu Huanghou gave a self‑deprecating smile, "It's my fault; I just assumed it."

Ye Qingran slightly lowered her head, holding a cup in her hand, the corner of her mouth curling into a nonchalant arc.

"Ye Qingran, your medical skills are so superb; you must have stayed in some major medical sects, right?"

Lin Xueyan asked as if casually.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions turned somewhat subtle.

Recently, the major medicinal sects of the Central Region gathered in Xiliang City; at that time, no one had heard of Ye Qingran being acquainted with anyone from any sect, clearly she did not belong to any major medicinal sect—how could she have stayed there?

"Hehe, Xueyan, you've thought too much; Ye Qingran at most learned some acupuncture techniques from rural villagers, curing Lady Leng was just a blind cat finding a dead mouse." Dongfang Ling'er said with a sneer.

Although Dongfang Ling'er's tone was somewhat sharp, full of hostility toward Ye Qingran, her words were not without reason.

Ye Qingran probably just learned some skills from wandering martial-world doctors, without any systematic training in a major medicinal sect.

"Not bad."

Just when everyone thought Ye Qingran would deny it, she suddenly uttered these two words.

Everyone was stunned.

"Not bad?"

"What does that mean?"

Does it mean she admits she stayed in a major medicinal sect, or that she didn't?

Pairs of eyes, filled with doubt, looked at Ye Qingran.

Ye Qingran's gaze locked onto Lin Xueyan, the corner of her mouth curling into a wanton arc, she said word by word, "Not bad. I stayed at Medicine King Valley and the Divine Medicine Sect."
