Bai Hongyu stood before her with a solemn expression, "Miss, once my father's condition improves, I will also go to the Immortal Sect. If you ever need any assistance, we will do our best to help you in the future."
Perhaps Feng Ninghe's silence made Madam Bai anxious, as she bent her body, intending to kneel on the ground.
For noble families, how important was face?
Yet, Madam Bai was willing to discard her pride for the sake of Master Bai.
"Madam Bai, I agree then."
Feng Ninghe was quick, supporting her with a gentle female voice.
Seeing her agreement, Madam Bai broke into a smile, her exquisitely made-up face becoming more radiant. She repeatedly expressed, "Then I shall trouble you, Miss."
Bai Qianqian stood there with a ashen face, her hands tightly clenching her sleeves, staring at Feng Ninghe.
It was as if an invisible slap was fiercely striking her cheek.
Bai Qianqian felt utterly disgraced and resentful in her heart. She let out a muffled hum, "This woman's identity is unknown, and she may not be a disciple of the Medicine Valley Master. If it backfires and harms Master Bai, no one will bear the responsibility. I say we should consider this carefully, lest we be fooled without realizing it."
The noisy female voice reached her ears. Feng Ninghe raised her delicate eyebrows and shot a cold glance at Bai Qianqian, "What if I can cure Master Bai?"
"I will apologize to you."
Bai Qianqian arrogantly tilted her head, meeting Feng Ninghe's gaze.
She did not believe that this woman, who was putting on a show, could cure Master Bai.
She was determined to expose this lowly woman's true colors and make her die here!
Feng Ninghe's eyes flickered slightly, and her clear female voice slowly fell, "A mere apology is nothing, it's not enough."
Bai Qianqian became annoyed, her voice sharpening slightly, "Then what else do you want?"
Facing the question, Feng Ninghe's lips curved upwards, a hint of amusement lingering in her eyes.
She had tolerated Bai Qianqian for a long time.
From the moment she saw this woman, Bai Qianqian had been aggressive.
Given her nature, how could she allow someone to act so outrageously and ride roughshod over her?
Today, she was determined to tear that sharp tongue apart.
Feng Ninghe raised her eyes slightly, her indifferent gaze deepening with meaning. Her female voice, spoken softly, was: "I want you to kneel before the city gate and kowtow to me a hundred times, repeating 'I am a turtle, I was wrong, I shouldn't have insulted you, and from now on I will live with my tail between my legs, and I will quickly scurry away when I see you'."
Kneel before the city gate?
Bai Qianqian laughed. The smile made her cheeks appear bright and charming, and the mockery in her eyes intensified.
To cure Master Bai, the Bai family had invited many renowned experts.
Even Willow Face Pavilion had only provided a pill to temporarily alleviate his condition.
Her brother Qi Mu, a disciple of the Mountain Stream Elder, had not been able to cure Master Bai.
What ability could this lowly woman, who falsely claimed to be a disciple of the Medicine Valley Master, possess?
Bai Qianqian agreed without hesitation, "Fine, I agree. If you cannot cure the Master, the same applies. I will also have you banished from Li City forever!"
The members of the Bai family exchanged glances, none of them speaking.
Bai Qianqian's public humiliation of Feng Ninghe was witnessed by all, and they were all aware of it.
Feng Ninghe was merely retaliating in kind.
However, Bai Qianqian was ultimately a member of the Bai family, and any incident would cause the Bai family to lose face.
"Qianqian, stop fooling around."
Madam Bai frowned and reprimanded her in a low voice.
Bai Qianqian had been fatherless since childhood, with only a mother living in the countryside.
Her father had died saving Master Bai, and therefore Master Bai and Madam Bai felt guilty towards her, treating her as their own daughter, even better than their own. This had led to her spoiled and willful nature.
Bai Qianqian was not afraid and said with a hint of arrogance, "Aunt, let her treat him first and see what capabilities she truly has."
Madam Bai frowned and looked at Feng Ninghe with a hint of apology, "Miss, you must have been amused."
The urgent matter was to save the patient, and Madam Bai had no intention of dealing with other matters.
Feng Ninghe shook her head dismissively and approached Master Bai.
She lowered her gaze, took out a small, palm-sized white pearl from her spatial jade bracelet, and with a slender, fair hand, she casually waved it. A surge of spiritual energy carried the pearl into Master Bai's body.
The members of the Bai family widened their eyes, their nerves taut, their gazes fixed on her, clearly wanting to know if she had the ability to deal with the toxins in the Bai family head.
Bai Qianqian let out a muffled hum, "Putting on a show."
Thinking that this lowly woman would soon be kneeling and kowtowing before her, her mood suddenly improved, and she was already eagerly anticipating it in her heart.
As the pearl entered his body, Master Bai's body was enveloped in a faint white light.
Feng Ninghe closed her eyes and scanned Master Bai's body with her divine sense.
The pearl she had introduced into Master Bai's body was no ordinary item.
It was a White Floating Pearl, capable of absorbing poisonous qi.
Half an hour later, she removed the White Floating Pearl. The originally pure white pearl had turned black all over.
"This is..."
Madam Bai was slightly startled and asked with a hint of surprise, "This pearl was white when it entered the body, how did it turn black now?"
Feng Ninghe gently stroked the White Floating Pearl with her slender hand, and her crisp female voice slowly said, "This is no ordinary pearl; it can absorb poisonous qi."
After putting away the White Floating Pearl, she channeled another stream of spiritual energy into Master Bai's body.
Bai Hongyu seemed to recall something and said with a hint of excitement, "Mother, I heard that the Medicine Valley's treasure is a White Floating Pearl. This item can absorb all poisons in the world and can digest the toxins on its own. When the pearl turns white again, it can be used again."
"White Floating Pearl?"
The simple words made Madam Bai's eyes light up, "This item is unique to the Medicine Valley Master. I didn't expect it to have been passed down to you!"
The White Floating Pearl was a spiritual artifact that recognized its owner.
In the hands of an ordinary person, it was just a useless little white pearl. Only Feng Ninghe knew how to use it.
Upon recognition of the White Floating Pearl, she nodded slowly.
Her spatial jade bracelet contained nearly half of the treasury of the Lin Kingdom.
Let alone a White Floating Pearl, she possessed many more treasures.
The former Lin Kingdom's strength far surpassed that of Li Kingdom, and it reigned supreme over all nations.
Madam Bai's gaze towards her subtly shifted.
This young girl before her had earned the trust of the Medicine Valley Master at such a young age. In time, she would surely inherit the Medicine Valley.
Befriending such a person would be beneficial to the Bai family.
Bai Qianqian's face turned a shade paler, her heart trembling fiercely in her chest, yet she maintained a serious expression, "Who knows if this thing can truly cure him? We'll only know when the Master wakes up."
The conversation of the others also made her heart flutter.
This woman was definitely seeking attention and putting on a show.
Brother Qi Mu had also mentioned detoxification earlier. Who knew if this ghost pearl was real or fake?
Bai Qianqian repeatedly reassured herself, brainwashing herself.
"Father will definitely wake up. I say the Medicine Valley Master's disciple is much more formidable than that pretentious Qi Mu from before."
Bai Niannian let out a muffled hum and said without thinking.
As her gaze shifted to Feng Ninghe, her expression was filled with admiration.
It would be wonderful if such a capable sister could become her sister-in-law.
She had four brothers, all handsome and distinguished, whom the capable sister could choose from at will.
Perhaps she could even learn some skills from her.
