"You an to say, afterward a fourth Wen Energy appeared in the forest, and it was this Wen Energy that devoured Changle’s, turning her into an imbecile?"
Xiao Junci was full of skepticism.
Before him stood the White Wolf, capable of articulate speech and clear reasoning, detailing the entire situation succinctly.
To anyone else, the words of the White Wolf might seem ridiculous.
Yet Xiao Junci, commanding the Greedy Wolf Army and placing more trust in animals than in humans, had no doubts about what the White Wolf said.
"It’s absolutely true, but unfortunately, I’m not clear on the origins of that Wen Energy."
Dugu Xiaojin had no choice but to co forth in her wolf form to prove her father’s innocence.
"If you still won’t believe it, you can ask soone from the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce’s Qinghe Branch, nad Feng San. She is a rcenary and also one of the witnesses at the ti."
Feng Bailing, fearing Xiao Junci would relentlessly argue, reminded him again.
With one man and one wolf as witnesses, Xiao Junci was convinced of their existence.
"If I’m not mistaken, that Wen Energy should co from another leader among the Ten Countries, considering it caused both Beiqi and Great Chu serious losses while also sowing discord between them. This person, whether in strength or strategy, is exceptional and not inferior to you or ."
Dugu Wu expressed regret for not having personally encountered that individual.
The fourth Wen Energy had likely been in the forest for so ti, witnessing the open and secret struggles among Dugu Wu, Princess Changle, and Mr. Nan Chen. This person was also capable of restraint, remaining inactive the whole ti.
What concerned Dugu Wu the most was the opponent’s ability to easily dissolve the Black Fog, proving that the Black Fog was left by the adversary.
He recalled so matters Mr. Nan Chen had told him earlier.
"Even if there really is a fourth person, Changle was not devoured by your Wen Energy, but she was trapped in the Black Fog Cage because of you, so you must bear half the responsibility for this matter."
Seeing Xiao Junci relentless, Dugu Wu sneered.
"Regent King, stop nitpicking. You just want my Princess Consort to treat Princess Changle. I don’t have the authority to decide on this matter. You’ll have to ask my wife."
Saying this, Dugu Wu casually added a bite of food to Feng Bailing’s bowl, his heterochromatic eyes showing endless tenderness.
"My dear, eat more, you’ve been thinning down from our travels."
His affectionate gaze and gentle tone sowhat stupefied Feng Bailing.
Xiao Junci watched enviously, suspecting Dugu Wu might be an age-old cunning fox, discerning every thought in his mind.
Xiao Junci, having his intentions seen through, grimly approached Feng Bailing with a bow.
"Princess Consort Wu is highly skilled in dicine; I kindly ask for your help in treating Princess Changle. Whether she recovers or not, this prince will be deeply grateful."
Every doctor in Qinghe City was helpless over Princess Changle’s condition, leading Xiao Junci to think of Feng Bailing.
Feng Bailing was the only one skilled enough to possibly aid Princess Changle.
This woman was greedy for money; as long as substantial wealth was promised, she would surely agree.
However, Feng Bailing was not so agreeable this ti.
"I’m sorry, Regent King, but I cannot and will not assist with this. Yesterday, Princess Changle attacked my brother and several dear friends in the forest. I hold grudges, and if I were to treat Princess Changle, I’m afraid I might not resist poisoning her."
Feng Bailing firmly declined.
The existence of the Wuji Seal and Wenhua Seal exceeded the scope of Feng Bailing’s dical skills; she was certain she couldn’t help Princess Changle.
Xiao Junci hit a wall repeatedly with the couple, Feng Bailing, and as he saw the family continue enjoying their breakfast happily, completely ignoring him.
Xiao Junci could only leave with a stomach full of anger.
Princess Changle turned foolish, which ant the Beiqi Team was short of one leader. Eventually, after negotiations with Xiao Junci, the Beiqi Team invited Lady Nan Feng to act as another leader; thus, the matter was settled.
After the black fog in the jungle dissipated, tranquility was restored in Qinghe City.
Around noon, the Yueshan Inn Master, according to the agreent, delivered the reward, but it was not just the reward that ca—Changsun Rou also arrived.
Changsun Rou didn’t co alone; she was accompanied by several n.
Upon seeing Changsun Rou, Feng Bailing recalled that Changsun Rou had been saved by Dugu Wu, a matter about which Ouyang Chenchen had gossiped with her in secret.
Although Dugu Wu claid it was a misunderstanding, Feng Bailing couldn’t help but feel a bit furious.
She stealthily stretched out her hand and fiercely pinched Dugu Wu’s waist.
But with that pinch, her fingers almost broke.
The abdominal muscles on Dugu Wu’s waist were as hard as rocks; she couldn’t twist them at all, which left Feng Bailing only able to glare dryly.
Seeing the lady’s deflated appearance, Dugu Wu’s lips softened, and his gaze unconsciously fell upon Feng Bailing.
Changsun Rou, seeing the flirtatious banter between the two, felt sour inside.
"Dugu, we really owe you a lot for this Black Fog incident. The Soldier Inn has prepared one hundred thousand taels of silver as a token of gratitude."
Changsun Rou usually maintained a cold arrogance, but only in front of Dugu Wu did her eyes sparkle continuously, the depths of them blatantly filled with love.
"Also, for this Black Fog incident, the Underworld Market has provided part of the compensation."
Saying this, she spoke to a man behind her.
"Divine Doctor Lu, thank you for your efforts."
A slim, middle-aged man stepped forward from behind Changsun Rou.
He had a pair of mustache and a lean face with sharp features, his eyes filled with pride. He examined Dugu Wu and nodded.
"Young master, rest assured, I can treat this leg."
Upon hearing this, Changsun Rou’s face showed delight.
"Dugu, this is Master Lu’s brother, Divine Doctor Lu. His dical skills are superb; he has even helped a blind man regain his sight. With his treatnt, you will definitely recover. This is the compensation from the Underworld Market for you, are you satisfied?"
Previously, although Dugu Wu had refused Changsun Rou, she thought it was due to a lack of trust.
Thus, this ti, she personally had Divine Doctor Lu present his case, not believing Dugu Wu could refuse again.
With Divine Doctor Lu present, diocre doctors like Feng Bailing could never hide.
However, another man standing behind her was trembling with fear; he suddenly rushed in front of Dugu Wu, his knees buckling as he knelt down.
"My lord, please, spare . I don’t want to be crippled."
With those words, he kept kowtowing nonstop towards Dugu Wu.
"How dare you, you accepted one thousand taels from , agreed to remove your own kneecap to offer to Prince Wu, how can you go back on your word. Helping Prince Wu to walk again is the blessing of your ancestors from eight generations."
Finished speaking, Changsun Rou flicked her eyes, and two of her n stepped forward, about to drag the man away.
Feng Bailing and Dugu Wu instantly realized that this man, who had a similar build and height to Dugu Wu, was the "prescription" that Changsun Rou previously ntioned for treating Dugu Wu’s leg.
