“Yes, Hua Tuo, please hurry and use these techniques to cure my father,” Li Xiang also hurriedly voiced his agreent.
“It’s too late.
If it had been three years ago, I could have cured him, but now, it’s impossible; at most, I can barely suppress the Gu poison inside Old Li’s body,”
Bai Xiaofan shook his head; his expression showed no change.
“You say it’s too late just because?
You were just lucky before when you said the right thing.
Do you really think you are Hua Tuo now?” Li Xiang yelled upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, his neck stretched and shouting till hoarse.
Anyone unaware would think Bai Xiaofan had stolen his wife.
“I believe in Xiaofan!” Su Shiqi imdiately stepped in front of Bai Xiaofan, showing her trust in him.
She knew Bai Xiaofan well; although he often took advantage of her, he never spoke recklessly, especially concerning life.
“You believe?
Who do you think you are?” At that mont, Li Xiang was like a mad dog, snapping at anyone he could.
Bai Xiaofan slightly frowned.
Dealing with the arrogant Li Xiang was quite displeasing to him and was about to speak when Hua Tuo interjected.
“This young friend is correct.
Old Li’s condition has already beco too severe.
Using the sa thod now would not only fail to cure him but might also end his life directly!”
Hua Tuo’s statent, forceful and resounding, made Li Xiang instantly shut his mouth, looking as if he had eaten feces, almost sickening him to death.
“Please, Mr.
Bai and Hua Tuo, apply the healing thod!” Li Yuan was stunned for a mont, then glared at Li Xiang before bowing with clasped hands to the two, his posture very humble.
“Healing is not out of the question, but it requires a particular ingredient.
If you cannot procure it within three hours, I’ll be powerless to help!”
Bai Xiaofan said somberly, looking directly at Li Yuan.
“Psh, is there any ingredient the Li family can’t get?
What a joke!” Li Xiang expressed his discontent again but was imdiately glared at by Li Yuan, retreating to the side with internal annoyance.
“Mr.
Bai, please don’t be upset; my fourth brother didn’t an it,” Li Yuan quickly apologized and then asked respectfully, “May I know which ingredient Mr.
Bai is referring to?”
“Blood Lotus, the older the better, ideally over a hundred years!” Bai Xiaofan stated calmly.
Hiss!
Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Hua Tuo involuntarily inhaled sharply, his face filled with shock.
Soon, regaining his composure with so effort.
“Blood Lotus?
Go, quickly announce it throughout Jiang Province; as long as soone can sell us Blood Lotus, the Li family will be imnsely grateful!” Although Li Yuan didn’t know what Blood Lotus was, he imdiately ordered the people of the Li family.
Li Yuan was sure that with the status of the Li family, once the ssage was sent out, many calls would co in; having the Li family owe a favor could definitely make a family prosper trendously.
Just one word from the Li family, and even a small family could rise to the status of major families like the Su family in Nanjiang city; it wasn’t impossible!
Watching the Li family hurriedly leave to release the news, Bai Xiaofan sat calmly aside.
After all, he had already ntioned the required herbs; whether they could be obtained was not his concern now.
Besides, whether this person lived or died was not of much significance to him.
Doctor Feng, however, showed slight fluctuations in his expression, staring intently at Bai Xiaofan as if he had sothing to say.
“Young Master Bai, are you planning to fight poison with poison?” Doctor Feng eventually couldn’t hold back and asked softly.
“You know too?
Not bad, it seems you know a bit!” Bai Xiaofan was sowhat surprised and hadn’t expected Doctor Feng to know the purpose behind his needing the blood lotus.
“Heh, Young Master Bai, not to discourage you, although you know the thod of fighting poison with poison, I must tell you that it requires Inner Strength to do so.
Even my Inner Strength is insufficient to support this thod.
Can you manage it?”
Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s sarcasm, Doctor Feng did not flare up this ti, but his words still carried a hint of scorn.
“Just because you can’t doesn’t an I can’t!” Bai Xiaofan’s lips curled into a faint smirk as he spoke, half-mocking.
“Hmph, pretending to be profound.
What if you can’t treat it?” Doctor Feng snorted coldly, clearly annoyed by Bai Xiaofan’s pretentious deanor.
“Well then, if we manage to find the blood lotus later, you can treat it.
I didn’t want to treat it anyway!” Bai Xiaofan was not upset.
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up, walked to a chair nearby, and gave up his place by the bed to Doctor Feng.
Bai Xiaofan’s sudden gesture rather made Doctor Feng a bit flustered, and caught him off guard!
“This…
Mr.
Bai, why aren’t you treating it?” Li Yuan asked, puzzled.
He could tell that Doctor Feng probably wasn’t confident.
“Hmph, isn’t it just because he wants money?
Tell us, how much do you want?” Before Bai Xiaofan could answer, Li Xiang sneered, his expression suggesting he had seen through everything as he stared at Bai Xiaofan.
“Heh…” Bai Xiaofan, seeing that Li Yuan did not argue against Li Xiang’s words and knowing they must think the sa, did not bother explaining.
He just chuckled lightly and then stood up.
“Shi Qi, I’ll be leaving first.
The herbs needed for the treatnt, considering your face, I’ve already inford them.
As for the rest, I won’t be involved!”
After saying this to Su Shiqi, Bai Xiaofan resolutely walked out, without any hesitation.
“Uncle Li, Xiaofan has never been soone greedy for money!” Su Shiqi knew Bai Xiaofan was upset and without overthinking it, left these words for Li Yuan as she hastily followed him out.
This left Li Yuan baffled, and he turned to glance at Doctor Feng.
“Don’t look at .
Even if the blood lotus were here, I wouldn’t have the ability to do it, not to ntion that the older the blood lotus, the more Inner Strength it requires!”
Upon seeing the questioning look from Li Yuan, Doctor Feng knew he was being asked if he could treat Old Master Li, so he replied straightforwardly without hiding anything.
After all, for him, failing to cure Old Master Li would not affect his reputation; even if Hua Tuo were alive, it wasn’t possible to successfully treat everyone!
Hearing Doctor Feng’s words, Li Yuan scolded Li Xiang in a low voice, “You’re good for nothing but making things worse.
Hurry up and co with to bring Mr.
Bai back!”
