Chapter 382: Chapter 244: Yun Sheng’s Counterattack
Qi Fangfei, being the dicine Man of Grandmaster Wen, unexpectedly possessed the most formidable Poison Skill.
This poison is uniquely lethal, as re contact can instantly turn a person into pus.
Yao Rong, a doctor, frequently dealt with various dicinal herbs and had better resistance to poison than most people, which is why he has managed to hold on until now.
But now, it seed he too was nearing his limit.
"Rong Rong, Rong Rong, why so foolish to shield that hit for ? All these years, I’ve misunderstood you," Doctor Fan said to Yao Rong with both guilt and pity.
"Fan... Zhi, it’s my own fault. I should have listened to you before, then our child wouldn’t have..." Yao Rong’s face, too, was covered in tears.
The couple finally resolved their past misunderstandings, but what awaited them was eternal separation.
Doctor Fan looked sorrowful, he suddenly raised his head to Ji Mo, "You, no matter who you are, you know Light Magic, you must be able to save my wife right? I beg you, save her."
Ji Mo remained silent, gazing at Yao Rong.
He had t Yao Rong a few tis, but being aloof by nature, he was indifferent towards other people’s emotions.
The very first ti he saw Yao Rong, he was certain that she would not live long, showing the sign of premature death.
His master once advised him, "Wen Xu, you should know, with your Heavenly Vision, you can discern people’s life and death, predict good and ominous events, but a person’s fate is determined by heaven. If you selfishly alter it, you will ultimately harm your own fortune. A slight damage to your fortune today ans facing greater danger in your future. Therefore, do never arbitrarily change soone’s fate, especially those who should not be saved."
Today, when he saw Xiao Yun, although her facial features indicated a violent disaster, it wouldn’t lead to death, so he intervened to save her.
But Yao Rong was different, her gaze was lifeless, her face pale and ashen, clearly a dying sign.
Seeing Ji Mo’s hesitation, Fan Zhi’s face grew even more distraught.
"I’m sorry, I can’t save her. Her poison is too severe, and I’ve used Light Magic today, so I can’t save her," Ji Mo’s words struck Doctor Fan like a thunderclap.
Doctor Fan, also a mage, knew that Light Elent mages, every use of Light Magic, consu a substantial amount of Mana, making it difficult to perform again within the sa day.
"I don’t bla you, all of this is fate. Rong Rong, in this life, I ultimately failed you. Rest assured, in the next life, I will not fail you," Doctor Fan said with tears streaming down his face like a torrential rain, cradling Yao Rong, ready to leave.
"Wait," Ji Mo suddenly felt a stir in his heart from what Doctor Fan said, unexpectedly feeling compassion, "I can’t save her, but there’s soone who might be able to."
"Sheng’er hasn’t returned yet, no one can save her," Doctor Fan well understood that if Yun Sheng were here, Yao Rong might still have a chance.
"Go find that Poison Boy, he may not be good at other things, but in using poison, he might even be better than Yun Sheng," reminded by Ji Mo, Doctor Fan as if awoken from a dream, rembered the existence of ’Qi’.
The one known as Poison Boy, Qi, indeed was an expert in the field of poison.
Without any more hesitation, Doctor Fan picked up Yao Rong and rushed to Wanlong Gambling House.
At this ti, Qi should still be at the gambling house.
Watching the fleeing figure of Doctor Fan, Ji Mo semi-understood, pondering what the essence of "emotion" truly was, and why it prompted such significant changes in people.
Ji Mo’s hint was not mistaken; after Doctor Fan found Qi, Qi examined Yao Rong’s wounds.
He used Little Qing to remove most of the poison from Yao Rong’s body, and after this detoxification, Yao Rong was no longer in imdiate danger to her life.
The remaining task of removing residual poison was taken over by Doctor Fan himself, slowly cleansing the poison from Yao Rong’s body.
Yun Sheng returned to Yujing, seven days later.
She and Zong Ren’s trip outside to find a suitable Magic dicine Store went quite smoothly.
Little did she know, when she returned to Little Ci’en Hall, awaiting her was the terrible news from Zhou Chu Village and Yao Rong, who had stayed at the Little Ci’en Hall after recovering from illness.
After learning the whole story, Yun Sheng’s expression was gloomy, yet she did not react as everyone expected by imdiately rushing to the dicine Emperor Pavilion in a fit of rage to demand an explanation.
Yun Sheng clearly understood that if Qi Fangfei dared to act in such a way, she must have been fully prepared.
Not to ntion, she had no idea which Hunting Corps Qi Fangfei had hired; knowing Qi Fangfei’s character, she was ruthless and probably had already sabotaged the Hunting Corps in secret.
As for reporting to the governnt, that was even less feasible.
Shortly after Yao Rong left, the dicine Emperor Pavilion announced the abolition of her status as Imperial Doctor and supported Cheng Sihai to beco the new Imperial Physician.
The dicine Emperor Pavilion in Yujing had deep roots, and they likely had many claws embedded within the Great Zhou Court.
"So we just let this go? Also, because of the issue with Zhou Chu Village, other villages that had agreed to grow dicinal herbs for us have reneged," Lin Yao’er said furiously, hating that she couldn’t personally attack the dicine Emperor Pavilion as she watched the efforts of the people for months and the villagers’ blood feud go unavenged.
"No, on the contrary, we won’t make our move openly, but we can act from the shadows," Yun Sheng had an idea already forming in her mind.
She first visited Yao Rong and was happy to hear that the couple had reconciled and was back on good terms.
"Doctor Fan, we really owe you a lot this ti. Xiao Yun’s injuries were not serious, and the arrival of the Imperial Doctor has brought new strength to our Little Ci’en Hall," Yun Sheng joked upon seeing the couple affectionately together.
Seeing that Xiao Yun’s injuries were well handled, almost unable to see any wounds, she naturally assud it was Doctor Fan’s doing.
Doctor Fan’s gaze flickered, but he ultimately did not speak of Ji Mo’s involvent.
"Thank you, Doctor Yun...if I may call you Sheng’er as well, I apologize for offending you before, and I hope you don’t take it to heart," Yao Rong said, nodding to Yun Sheng.
"Zhi, go and fetch
a cup of water, I’m a bit thirsty," Yao Rong glanced at Yun Sheng and sent Fan Zhi away.
As soon as Doctor Fan left, Yao Rong sat up.
Though most of the poison in her body had been cleared, she was still quite weak.
"Sheng’er, your visit today must be about more than just seeing , right?" Yao Rong was more astute than Doctor Fan, and being able to secure the third highest position in the dicine Emperor Pavilion, her dical skills and maneuvers were highly exceptional.
She could tell that Yun Sheng was not one to easily let things go.
From her previous attempts to strike at the dicine Emperor Pavilion, this incident with Zhou Chu Village, Yun Sheng certainly would not let it go easily.
"Indeed, Imperial Doctor, you are very clever. You must have guessed my purpose here, but I wonder if you would be willing to help ?" Yun Sheng smiled slightly, and between the two won of differing ages, a tacit understanding ford in that smile.
In this tacit understanding, there was a mutual understanding and also a deep admiration.
"You want
to tell you the weaknesses of the dicine Emperor Pavilion." Yao Rong laughed softly: "You really don’t need to hesitate. When Qi Fangfei first tried to kill , I had already died once in a sense."
Yao Rong was disappointed that her master, Grandmaster Wen, did not intervene.
Since the dicine Emperor Pavilion was no longer the sa as the one in her mory, why should she show any rcy?
Who says only n can be heartless? When won beco heartless, they can be far more ruthless than n.
When Doctor Fan returned, Yun Sheng and Yao Rong were talking and laughing, looking just like close friends.
*Thank you, Liu Li and Yu for the rewards*
