Chapter 72

Miss Ye…

Ye Qingran halted, turned around: "National Master, is there anything else?"

Fu Hanxiu wanted to ask if Ye Qingran really had a child, but after thinking, he felt it might not be appropriate to ask.

He shook his head.

"Nothing."

Ye Qingran:???

After Ye Qingran left, Fu Hanxiu looked at Fu San: "Where's the medicine?"

Fu San Yi was stunned: "Someone had put it away."

"Who told you to act on your own?"

Fu San Yi looked bewildered.

Isn't that standard procedure?

"Go get it."

Fu San Yi, lamenting that serving a ruler is like serving a tiger, resignedly went to the storeroom to look for the medicine.

After finding it and handing it to Fu Hanxiu, he was shocked to see their exalted master spending two hours to find a nice wrapper for just two low-grade third-grade pills, then agonizing over where to put it for another three hours…

Fu San: ……

Fu 1 2 4 5 6 7 8 9… Our master's brain has short-circuited!

Xiao Family

As the wealthiest family in Xiliang City, the Xiao family can be described as possessing vast riches, wealthy enough to rival a nation.

The current family head, Xiao Yan, is the grandfather of Xiao Feng and Xiao Chan.

A few days ago, while hunting in Jiu Fu Lin, he was accidentally injured by a spirit beast, poisoned deeply; after seeking famous doctors to no avail, he was on the verge of death, so he placed his last hope on the Medicine King Pavilion.

However, the Medicine King Pavilion's reply was to let them wait for news.

Xiao Feng went confidently and returned dispirited.

At this moment, a servant of the Xiao family reported that an assistant from the Medicine King Pavilion had arrived.

Although Xiao Yan was deeply poisoned, strangely, he could still walk normally and eat his three meals normally.

Upon hearing that the Medicine King Pavilion assistant had arrived, he hurriedly had someone summon him.

Even normally, an assistant from the Medicine King Pavilion must be treated with great courtesy; let alone now, when the Xiao family seeks their aid?

In the front hall, Xiao Yan sat hunched over, trembling slightly.

Tormented by deadly poison, he was a horrifying sight; in just a few days he had grown so emaciated as to lose his human shape.

His eyes were blood-red, his lips purple, the area between his brows black, and black lines appeared on his exposed skin, looking especially frightening.

The Medicine King Pavilion assistant, guided by the servant, came to the front hall without arrogance or humility.

"Please sit, sir. I wonder if the Medicine King Pavilion has received a suitable detoxifying pill?"

Xiao Yan looked expectant.

Although he is advanced in years, he does not wish to die; the Xiao family is vast and wealthy enough to rival a nation, and he still wants to enjoy life to the fullest.

The assistant gave a slight nod: "The Valley Master has refined a top-grade fifth-grade purifying pill, and has given us one."

"Top-grade fifth-grade purifying pill?"

Pill quality is divided into low, medium, high, and supreme.

"Top-grade" refers to the supreme quality.

Everyone present among the Xiao family changed expression, their eyes filled with shock.

The purifying pill is a higher existence than detoxifying pills, especially a top-grade fifth-grade purifying pill—such a high-grade pill has never appeared in Xiliang City!

The Valley Master of the Yaowang Valley is indeed formidable!

"Top-grade fifth-grade purifying pill?!" Xiao Yan's eyes shone with light, as if he had seen hope of life!

"Please help us, sir; we must buy this purifying pill no matter what—our Xiao family is willing to pay the highest price!"

Before death, money is not worth mentioning.

Moreover, the Xiao family possesses countless riches.

With a glance from Xiao Yan, a servant immediately brought out a chest of gold, silver, and jewels to bribe the assistant.

The assistant from the Medicine King Pavilion, being a person of the Yaowang Valley, would not be blinded by such trivial gains.

The assistant let out a cold snort.

"Originally, this fifth-grade pill could have been sold directly to the Xiao family. However…"

"However what?"

Xiao Yan's heart gave a jolt.

"Xiao family head, although the Xiao family is wealthy enough to rival a nation, not everything can be solved with money. Especially the Xiao family's descendants should deeply understand this principle!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately understood: the assistant's words meant that the Xiao family's descendants had offended someone they ought not to have!

"You beasts, what exactly have you done?!"

Xiao Yan turned his head and burst out cursing!

The Xiao family has many descendants; upon being shouted at by Xiao Yan, they all stared dumbfounded.

After reacting, they kept crying out their grievances.

The assistant glanced at Xiao Feng and said: "Perhaps the Xiao family head could ask his eldest grandson?"

"Eldest grandson?"

Everyone in the Xiao family was stunned.

He was talking about Xiao Feng, wasn't he?!

"Xiao Feng, what did you do?!"

"Grandfather, I didn't do anything!"

Xiao Feng wore a bewildered expression.

He truly hadn't done anything!

He dares to be sure he hasn't offended anyone!

Except... Ye Qingran!

But Ye Qingran, a mere waste, could never be connected to the Medicine King Pavilion!

He simply ignored Ye Qingran.

"Young master Xiao knows exactly what he did. It doesn't matter if you won't admit it. However, this Five-grade Pill from our Medicine King Pavilion will no longer be sold to your Xiao Family!"

"Wretched beast! Unfilial descendant!"

Xiao Yan, upon hearing that, felt his chest Qi surge, almost dying of anger at Xiao Feng!

Because of this wayward descendant Xiao Feng, the Medicine King Pavilion refuses to sell the pill to him!

That damned Xiao Feng is practically murdering him by proxy!

Xiao Yan, who was already hot‑tempered, rushed two steps at a time to Xiao Feng, and without a word gave him two slaps, causing his nose to bleed profusely and three of his teeth to be knocked out!

Xiao Feng's vision blurred with stars, yet he still tried to argue, "Grandfather, I truly haven't offended anyone!"

"You still dare to argue!"

Xiao Yan, unable to contain his rage, lifted his leg and kicked him to the ground.

At Xiao Yan's age, he had already become a human spirit.

The assistants of the Medicine King Pavilion came knocking, and the matter was taken that far; whether Xiao Feng offended the Medicine King Pavilion or not, if they don't give him a lesson today, the Medicine King Pavilion will never be satisfied.

Xiao Feng was struck by Xiao Yan's massive force, kicked in the chest, several ribs shattered, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground convulsing.

"Sir, could you please plead for mercy?!"

With those words, a pile of gold, silver, and priceless treasures were offered with both hands!

If it were an ordinary person, they would already have been blinded by this overwhelming wealth and lost their true heart.

However, those from the Yaowang Valley, having seen the vast ocean, cannot be blinded by a mere stream.

"I'm just a lowly assistant, I don't have that ability. Moreover, this matter has already alarmed our Valley Master. What I just said reflects the Valley Master's wishes."

When the assistant mentioned the Valley Master, he clasped his fists toward the high place in respect.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Xiao Family were all shocked.

The Valley Master of the Yaowang Valley was actually alarmed!
