Yao Huan showed a confused expression as he glanced at Lee Tao.
"N-Nephew Lee Tao, you an you are the person that Instructor Yu Xiuying had invited?" Yao Huan stuttered.
Lee Tao nodded his head.
"Now are we going to just idle outside and not check on your daughter's condition?" Lee Tao asked.
"R-Right this way, Nephew Lee Tao."
Yao Huan no longer wasted any ti asking questions as he guided them toward Yao ixiang's room.
However, Lee Tao noticed the closer they got to her room, the stronger the sll of dicinal herbs was.
"Apologies for the strong dical herbs here. We have tried everything to cure Xiao ixiang but none seem to work." Yao Huan was frustrated with himself.
They were a clan of alchemists and even had ties with the alchemy guild. Yet, he couldn't even cure his own daughter.
It was extrely laughable whenever he heard soone praising him to be the renaissance of dicine.
"It's not surprising that you failed to find the cure for Yao ixiang," Lee Tao suddenly said.
"What Yao ixiang contracted with is most likely sothing that cannot be found in the Tianyun Kingdom. Hence, no matter how proficient your alchemist skills are nor how good your dical herbs are, it will be useless if you don't know what to do."
Yao Huan was dumbfounded by Lee Tao's remark.
If such words were spoken by another, he might have flipped out and thrashed them already.
However, this was Lee Tao's speaking and there wasn't any benefit to him for speaking such words without evidence.
Soti later, Lee Tao entered Yao ixaing's room where two other middle-aged n were already sitting in a chair, contemplating over the problems.
"P-Patriarch Yao Huan," When they saw Yao Huan entering, they quickly stood up and cupped their fist.
Yao Huan waved his hand to dismiss their greeting.
"No need to be polite, two elders." Yao Huan said softly.
"Have you discovered any solution yet?" He then asked.
The two elders could only shake their heads in response as they still couldn't determine the cause of it.
anwhile, Lee Tao ignored their conversation as he sat on the bed and placed his hand on Yao ixiang's wrist.
"You brat, how dare you touch a patient recklessly?"
"Who are you? Get away from Miss Yao ixiang already."
The two elders quickly shouted when they noticed Lee Tao's action.
"Shut your trap, you two senile old man. I'm here to cure her whereas you two useless are distracting the hell out of ." Lee Tao scoffed coldly as he snapped his finger toward Tang Lingling.
Tang Lingling understood what to do as she stood in between Lee Tao and the two elders.
Before the two elders could make a move, Yao Huan intervened as he didn't want to cause any misunderstandings.
"Stop it, don't do anything." Yao Huan glanced at the two elders.
He then sent a ntal transmission to them. "He's Madam Liu's son, Lee Tao. Apologize for your behavior before and say you were simply worried for Xiao ixiang."
The two elders began sweating nervously when they realized Lee Tao's identity.
"Haha, I must have truly been senile. A fine youngster such as Young Master Lee Tao is definitely better at alchemy than ."
"Indeed, we no longer need to be here when Young Master Lee Tao is here."
With that said, the two elders quickly dismissed themselves as they feared that Lee Tao might rember their faces.
anwhile, Lee Tao didn't even bother listening to their nonsense as he kept his eyes closed.
Feeling the pulse rate of Yao ixiang, Lee Tao curled his lips upward.
'As expected… it's this poison huh.' Lee Tao thought.
"Ungh," Yao ixaing's pupil suddenly constricted as she coughed out a mouthful of purple blood.
"Xiao ixiang!" Yao Huan cried aloud as he tried to rush toward her.
However, Lee Tao extended his hand out and blocked his way.
"Everyone leave the room now," Lee Tao said in a serious tone.
Tang Lingling didn't say anything further as she dragged Yu Xiuying out. Yao Huan stayed for a little longer before leaving the room as well.
"L-Lee Tao?" Yao ixiang said with so difficulty as she clenched her chest tightly.
"Shh, don't move," Lee Tao said.
"M-My chest feels like it's burning, Lee Tao…"
"Relax, Yao ixiang. Everything will be alright."
Lee Tao placed his palm around her chest area as he slowly massaged it.
"Feeling a little bit better?" Lee Tao asked.
"A little bit…"
"Alrighty then, the next phase is going to be a little bit more difficult. But I'm sure you can endure it."
"I-I'll try my best"
Soti later, Lee Tao retrieved a pill that he had forced Xiao Chu to give up.
"Open your mouth wide but make sure not to consu it," Lee Tao said as he pushed the pill gently into her mouth.
Yao ixiang followed his instruction as she used her tongue to wrap around the pill without consuming it.
Lee Tao waited for a few seconds until he determined the pill was slowly working.
"Yao ixiang, I can see your lovely thighs," Lee Tao suddenly said, shocking Yao ixiang.
anwhile, Lee Tao quickly used her mont of shock to infuse his finger with profound qi.
With a swift action, Lee Tao made a small cut on her chest.
Just when Yao ixiang was about to scream in pain, Lee Tao covered her mouth with his other palm.
And in a gentle voice, he whispered, "Shh, we're going to get rid of that thing that has been tornting you. Keep the pill in your mouth and don't wiggle too much, ok?"
Yao ixiang closed her eyelids slightly to nod since she couldn't really move much.
Once she had cald down, Lee Tao released his palm from her mouth.
"If it's still painful, do you want to hold on to my hand?" He asked.
Yao ixiang didn't say anything else and simply used her action to reply.
She had quickly used one of her hands to hold onto his warm and big hand.
"Rest assured, this'll be quick."
