“Young Master Fang, please rest in the upper room for a while.”
“I’ll go fetch the Buddha Fruit to thank you for your great kindness!”
Bai Jiang, with reddened eyes, walked out of the room and bowed deeply to Fang Ling.
“Young Master Fang, please follow me!” Bai Bo quickly stepped forward to lead the way, taking Fang Ling to a guest room to rest.
Along the way, the Bai family’s servants and guests were all shocked.
The usually proud Second Master of the Bai family was being so courteous to this young man.
Meanwhile, in the small hall where the doctors were discussing the illness.
It hadn’t been long since Fang Ling left.
At this moment, they were still fervently discussing, trying to determine what poison Miss Bai had been afflicted with.
Just then, Bai Jiang walked in.
Bai Jiang was a renowned figure in the cultivation world of the South Sun Kingdom.
Although the doctors present had some status, they didn’t dare to be negligent in front of him.
One by one, they stood up to greet him.
“Master Bai, has there been a change in your daughter’s condition?” asked Doctor Dou, the most authoritative among them.
Bai Jiang couldn’t hide the joy on his face as he replied, “Yes, the poison in my daughter has been cured.”
“However, I still want to trouble Doctor Dou to take a look.”
“Please prescribe some medicine to help her recover quickly.”
The doctors present were all surprised to hear this.
They had just examined her not long ago, and the poison had clearly integrated deeply into her body.
How could it suddenly be cured?
“Master Bai, what exactly happened?” the gray-robed elder asked hurriedly.
He had come to the Bai family for the Buddha Fruit.
Now that Miss Bai’s poison was gone, he had no chance of getting the treasure.
“It was all thanks to Doctor Fang’s miraculous hands that the poison was removed from my daughter’s body,” Bai Jiang replied.
“Doctor Fang? Is there a famous doctor with the surname Fang in the South Sun Kingdom?”
“Never heard of him!”
“This person must be incredibly skilled to cure such a strange poison.”
The doctors whispered among themselves, very curious about this Doctor Fang.
“Master Bai, who exactly is this Doctor Fang?” the gray-robed elder continued to ask.
Bai Jiang replied calmly, “I’m not very clear either, but he was here just now, and you should have seen him.”
“Could it be that young man from earlier?” Doctor Dou’s beautiful eyes widened as she murmured.
Only Fang Ling had left the hall earlier; no one else had taken a step outside.
Many recalled the young man they had previously ignored, not expecting him to have such skills at such a young age.
The gray-robed elder’s disciple looked incredulous, “Impossible, that kid was about my age and didn’t have any medicinal scent on him. He looked like an outsider.”
“Master Bai, don’t be deceived by him.”
“Let my master examine your daughter; maybe that kid used some trick.”
Bai Jiang snorted coldly, “Shut up! Can’t I, Bai Jiang, tell if my daughter is cured or not?”
Fang Ling had saved his daughter, making him a great benefactor in Bai Jiang’s eyes, and he wouldn’t tolerate anyone speaking ill of him.
The arrogant young man was so frightened by Bai Jiang’s reprimand that his face turned pale, and he hid behind the gray-robed elder, bowing his head and not daring to speak.
Seeing Bai Jiang’s anger, the gray-robed elder quickly said, “Master Bai, please calm down. It’s my fault for not teaching my disciple properly.”
“Zi Sheng, this is not a place for you to speak.”
“Disciple knows his mistake!” he quickly admitted.
Given Bai Jiang’s status, he wouldn’t make things difficult any further.
He immediately took Doctor Dou and the gray-robed elder to his daughter’s room.
Doctor Dou sat by the bed and personally took her pulse.
As for the others, they sensed her condition through the bed curtain.
“How is my daughter?” Bai Jiang asked softly after a while.
Although he was confident in his judgment, he still wanted to hear what these famous doctors had to say.
Doctor Dou withdrew her hand and nodded lightly, “There are indeed no toxins left in her body.”
“But this poisoning has harmed her body. Once she recovers a bit, she will need good nourishment.”
“I’ll prescribe some medicine to help with her recovery.”
“Thank you, Doctor Dou.” Bai Jiang was completely relieved.
He looked at the gray-robed elder and the others, who all gave the same result.
Now his daughter’s breathing had returned to normal, though still a bit weak.
“By the way, is Doctor Fang still in the residence?” Doctor Dou suddenly asked.
“I’d like to pay my respects to him.”
“He’s in the guest room next to yours,” Bai Jiang replied.
Seeing that the other doctors also wanted to visit, he turned to them and said, “Doctor Fang is now a guest in my residence. If you wish to visit, please consider the timing.”
“If you all go at once, it might disturb his peace.”
The doctors awkwardly agreed and left one by one.
…
“Master, do you think the Nether Beast in the inn’s stable might belong to Doctor Fang?” Doctor Dou’s disciple asked in the corridor.
“The poison that afflicted Miss Bai was something even you found troublesome, yet he resolved it effortlessly.”
“So he must be more skilled than you, and it’s very likely that he’s the owner of that Nether Beast.”
The beautiful woman also thought it was very possible; otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?
“You’d better not come in with me later. I’m afraid you’ll offend him with your loose tongue,” she said.
“No way! I… I will obey!” The young girl wanted to argue but quickly fell silent under the beautiful woman’s stern gaze.
Soon, the two arrived at Fang Ling’s guest room.
The beautiful woman gave her disciple a look, and the latter immediately returned to her own room.
After the young girl went back, the beautiful woman raised her hand and gently knocked on the door.
“Come in!” Fang Ling’s voice came from inside.
Entering the room, she gracefully bowed to Fang Ling, “I am Dou Qin, at your service.”
“Fang Ling,” he introduced himself. “What can I do for you, Miss Dou?”
“Not at all. I was just curious about the poison that afflicted Miss Bai Ying,” Dou Qin asked.
“Although I am not a master of medicine, I have studied it for many years.”
“I have seen many strange poisons, but never one as peculiar as this.”
Fang Ling smiled, “Actually, she wasn’t poisoned but was parasitized by a poisonous insect.”
“The symptoms you saw were the result of the insect’s efforts to suppress the poison.”
“What kind of insect could be so powerful?” Dou Qin was surprised.
“I have cultivated in the medical arts for five hundred years, and my spiritual power has a considerable detoxifying effect.”
“Yet even so, my spiritual power had no effect on this insect’s poison.”
“As you said, this was the poison the insect couldn’t help but release. If it were in normal circumstances…”
“Have you heard of the Seven-Colored Heavenly Butterfly?” Fang Ling asked.
“I haven’t,” Dou Qin shook her head. “Is the insect still alive? May I see it?”
Fang Ling replied, “There’s no need. I fear it might poison you to death. It’s probably quite agitated now.”
“Alright,” Dou Qin didn’t press further. “I won’t disturb you any longer. Farewell!”
