"If you had been more careful earlier and not let that man bite his tongue to commit suicide, we could have found out the antidote from him now. With him dead, we can't even find a single person from the Shen Men!" Qin Qiong said, his tone full of blame towards Lan Baizhi.
Lan Baizhi, without showing any politeness, retorted, "Hmph, if you can't find anyone from Shen Men, it just proves how useless your Order Hall is!"
"Qin Yi and I are not from your Order Hall. We found Li Changsheng for you and eliminated the assassin who attacked you, which counts as a tremendous favor! Instead of thanking us, you're now blaming us. Isn't that rather ungrateful?"
"You..."
Hearing her words, Qin Qiong's face turned ashen with anger.
Lan Baizhi, as if not noticing his expression, continued with her arms crossed, "To be honest, if it weren't for Qin Yi and me, all of you would have likely been killed by that person from Shen Men! You should be kneeling and kowtowing to thank us for saving your lives!"
Qin Qiong, along with Huo Qiyang and Fang Zhenao, were all flushed with anger, their faces burning.
Not to mention them, even Qin Yi stood rooted to the spot with a complex expression as he watched Lan Baizhi confront Qin Qiong and the others.
However, at the same time, he couldn't help but admire Lan Baizhi, secretly thinking that he shouldn't provoke her no matter who else he offended in the future! His senior sister, when enraged, truly dared to say anything and disrespect anyone!
Moments later, just as Qin Qiong was about to respond to Lan Baizhi, Liang Jinghong spoke up, interrupting them: "Alright, stop arguing!"
Liang Jinghong glanced at Lan Baizhi and Qin Yi and said, "Regardless, thank you both for your help this time! I will remember this favor, and I will surely repay you when the opportunity arises!"
On their way back, Xue Qiao'er had already reported the events in the Huaitang City mountains to Liang Jinghong in detail. Therefore, Liang Jinghong was fully aware of how Li Changsheng clashed with the Shen Men assailant, his subsequent disappearance, how Qin Yi and Lan Baizhi found Li Changsheng, and the attacker's suicide by biting his tongue.
"Vice Hall Master Liang speaks much more pleasantly!"
Only then did Lan Baizhi stop confronting Qin Qiong and the others.
"Group Leader Fang, Group Leader Xue..."
Immediately after, Liang Jinghong didn't linger on his conversation with Lan Baizhi. He turned to Fang Zhenao and the others and said, "You will immediately investigate Shen Men with all your might to find an antidote for Old Li!" Although Shen Men was mysterious and Liang Jinghong knew it would be difficult to find them, Li Changsheng was not yet dead. As long as there was a sliver of hope, they should not give up!
"Yes!"
Fang Zhenao and the others responded in unison and turned to leave the main hall.
After Fang Zhenao, Xue Qiao'er, and Huo Qiyang departed, only Liang Jinghong and Qin Qiong remained in the hall, watching over Li Changsheng.
Seeing Qin Yi and Lan Baizhi still standing there, Liang Jinghong thought for a moment and called out towards the hall entrance, "Xiuwu..."
Li Xiuwu immediately walked in from outside.
"Vice Hall Master Liang?"
Liang Jinghong said to Qin Yi and Lan Baizhi, "Qin Yi, Miss Lan, you've worked hard today. I'll have Xiuwu arrange two rooms for you. You should rest first!"
Li Xiuwu, hearing this, understood and made a gesture of invitation to Qin Yi and Lan Baizhi, saying, "Please follow me."
Qin Yi, however, did not move, as if he hadn't heard Li Xiuwu's words. Lan Baizhi also remained in place.
Li Xiuwu frowned slightly and looked at Liang Jinghong.
Seeing this, Liang Jinghong asked, "Qin Yi, is there anything else?"
"If Group Leader Qin and the others offended you earlier, I can apologize on behalf of..."
Clearly, Liang Jinghong assumed that Qin Yi and Lan Baizhi were unwilling to leave because they were still upset about Qin Qiong and Huo Qiyang's earlier remarks.
Before he could finish, Qin Yi walked towards Li Changsheng, who was lying on the chair, and said, "Vice Hall Master Liang, don't worry. We are not that petty. I'm staying because I want to help Vice Hall Master Li!"
Qin Qiong asked, bewildered, "What do you mean?"
Qin Yi stopped in front of the chair and stared directly at Li Changsheng, saying, "I can cure the poison in his body."
"What???"
"!!!"
Whether it was Qin Qiong, Li Xiuwu, or Liang Jinghong, they all froze. They thought they had misheard. Even Lan Baizhi's eyes narrowed slightly at Qin Yi's words, and a flicker of surprise crossed her delicate face.
Liang Jinghong regained his senses and instinctively took a step closer to Qin Yi. Standing before him, he asked with some agitation, "You can cure the Hundred Step Powder, truly?"
Lan Baizhi couldn't help but ask Qin Yi, "Qin Yi, can you actually concoct an antidote for the Hundred Step Powder?"
Qin Yi shook his head and said, "I can't concoct an antidote, but I have another way to detoxify him!" Previously, if Liang Jinghong hadn't mentioned that the poison Li Changsheng had was called Hundred Step Powder, Qin Yi wouldn't have even known its name. When he examined Li Changsheng, he only knew that the poison in the man's body was very strange, much more potent and difficult to cure than ordinary poisons. Even for him, it would require a great deal of effort and wouldn't be simple! He had remained silent earlier because he thought if Liang Jinghong could cure Li Changsheng, he wouldn't have to act. He could save himself a lot of trouble! However, based on Liang Jinghong's earlier words, the latter had no solution, so he had no choice but to step in! After all, a doctor's heart is compassionate, and he couldn't stand idly by while Li Changsheng suffered. Moreover, the man was a Vice Hall Master of the Order Hall and had made significant contributions to Shen Zhou!
"If you can't concoct an antidote, what method will you use to detoxify him?" Qin Qiong pressed.
"Although I can't concoct an antidote for Hundred Step Powder, I can refine a universal antidote pill..." Qin Yi replied.
"A universal antidote pill, what is that?" Qin Qiong asked, confused. He looked at Liang Jinghong and saw that his eyes also held confusion. Clearly, he had never heard of what Qin Yi mentioned. Not only them, but Lan Baizhi also couldn't help but walk over, gave Qin Yi a meaningful look, and whispered, "Qin Yi, don't mess around! If you can't cure him after saying this, you'll only embarrass yourself!" Although Lan Baizhi knew that the crazy old man had taught Qin Yi medicine, and she also knew that the crazy old man's medical skills had reached an extremely high level, capable of bringing the dead back to life and regenerating flesh and bone... But how long had the crazy old man taken Qin Yi as a disciple? Only three to four years! In these three to four years, the crazy old man taught Qin Yi cultivation, medical skills, alchemy, and formations... For Qin Yi to master even one of these and reach his current strength was already incredibly difficult. Therefore, she speculated that Qin Yi didn't have extra time to learn anything else! In her heart, she believed that even if Qin Yi knew medicine, it would only be superficial and not of high attainment! Thus, Lan Baizhi actually didn't believe Qin Yi could cure Li Changsheng.
