Bai Yufeng knew why the two of them had come.
Bai Wenshan was also renowned among the younger generation, ranking among the top.
A true young talent had become a walking corpse puppet.
This had a significant impact on their Bai family, and even the clan.
He pondered for a moment, then informed the two elders before him, "You need not worry so much. This young master will not intentionally make things difficult. I will not reveal this matter."
The two elders finally breathed a sigh of relief, their gratitude overflowing, almost to the point of kowtowing and apologizing to Bai Yufeng.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Young Master, for your understanding. Thank you, Young Master, for your understanding."
Gu Qianying was puzzled by Bai Yufeng's quick agreement.
Given Bai Yufeng's usual demeanor, why would he agree so readily? Logically, shouldn't Bai Yufeng have mocked them first, then threatened them to gain profit?
Sensing the gaze from behind, Bai Yufeng suddenly curved his lips and turned his head with a smile.
"What? Are you very interested in me?"
Gu Qianying awkwardly retracted her neck and hastily waved her hands, "Not at all. Don't joke with me. How could I be interested in you?"
Bai Yufeng glanced at her and let out another cold laugh, "It's best if it's as you say."
He found it amusing and was about to tease Gu Qianying when he suddenly remembered something, his expression instantly becoming serious.
He pulled Gu Qianying into a corner and suddenly informed her,
"You don't need to treat Bai Wenshan here. Listen to this young master and quickly go back. Don't get involved in this matter; it's not something you can handle."
He already knew that Bai Wenshan was dangerous and bloodthirsty.
If he hadn't arrived in time today, Gu Qianying would have already been harmed, or perhaps influenced by Bai Wenshan.
He felt uneasy if Gu Qianying were to stay here to treat Bai Wenshan.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianying's eyes gradually became heavy, and she refused with a look of confusion, "Why? I went through so much trouble to get this opportunity. You tell me not to do it, and I shouldn't? Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"
Bai Yufeng felt that Gu Qianying cared too much about Bai Yangping and had been charmed by that vixen, Bai Yangping, which was why she refused him.
He was already furious, anger erupting from his eyes. He angrily grabbed Gu Qianying's arm.
He gritted his teeth, "I told you, this so-called clan leader is useless. I don't want to be it anymore. Forget it, you don't need to be a lobbyist for me anymore. Don't you understand yet? You don't need to do this."
He was so angry he gnashed his teeth. If he had become that so-called clan leader,
Gu Qianying and Bai Yangping would have had a deeper relationship.
How could he be willing?
Gu Qianying frowned, feeling that this person was acting erratically, saying one thing and then another, making him truly incomprehensible.
She quickly explained to Bai Yufeng, "Young Master, don't you think this person is truly pitiful? Moreover, if you want to understand the internal situation of the Shengyu family, you should approach these people. You'd better pray that what you just said was out of anger, otherwise, I will absolutely look down on someone who says one thing and does another. Are you treating me like a fool?"
Gu Qianying was resolute and spoke with conviction.
Firstly, as a physician, it was her duty to heal people. Bai Wenshan was in such a frenzied state, and she could not ignore him.
Secondly, Gu Qianying had already promised Bai Yangping. She was a person of her word, and this matter must be seen through.
Her words blocked almost all of Bai Yufeng's intended arguments.
Bai Yufeng looked at Gu Qianying with amusement, "So, you're trying your best to treat Bai Wenshan not because of Bai Yangping, but because you want to understand the internal situation for me?"
He was full of anticipation, his previously stiff palm slightly curling inward.
Gu Qianying's mouth was half-open, wanting to speak but stopping. Finally, she smiled and nodded, "As the Young Master said, it is indeed so."
Bai Yufeng was satisfied and only then agreed.
He coughed lightly, his movements slightly altered, a trace of tenderness appearing in his eyes, "You can treat Bai Wenshan, but I must be by your side. If you die, who will be my lobbyist?"
Gu Qianying frowned helplessly, forcing a smile, "Yes, I agree."
The two returned to the small dark room, where the Bai family, old and young, waited anxiously.
Gu Qianying returned and stated calmly, "Don't worry, I will cure your son."
Bai's father and mother were overwhelmed with gratitude, "Thank you, thank you."
To prevent Bai Wenshan from attacking Gu Qianying, Bai Yufeng went ahead and used his spiritual power to form chains, binding him to the ground.
These chains had a special property: they could continuously absorb the vital energy from a person's body.
Only in this way could Bai Wenshan be prevented from suddenly going berserk and injuring someone.
Gu Qianying followed, examining Bai Wenshan's pulse.
His pulse was extremely chaotic, yet each beat was weak and feeble, floating on the blood vessels.
Gu Qianying then took out silver needles and directly pricked them, drawing a drop of Bai Wenshan's blood.
This blood was no longer normal; it had a purplish-blue hue and emitted a strong foul odor.
Gu Qianying examined it repeatedly, her brow furrowing.
Finally, she sighed heavily and informed everyone, "This person has been poisoned. The poison he has is called Blood Yi Poison. The origin of this poison is not limited to one place; it is because the area has a sinister aura, and over time, this substance has gathered."
"Therefore," Gu Qianying paused, her gaze sweeping around, "to resolve this poison, one must know its source."
Although no antidote was found, this was already a great joy for Bai Yangping and the others.
After all, the doctors who had come to the Bai residence to treat him had all shaken their heads and sighed, adamantly stating it was an incurable disease. If not for the persistence of the family, Bai Wenshan would have long turned into a pile of bones, with no possibility of being saved.
After Bai Wenshan was settled, as the smell was too pungent to stay for long,
Bai's father, named Bai Chongshan, and Bai's mother, named Li Cuihua, invited Gu Qianying and the others to the main hall, treating them with courtesy and specially serving several cups of good tea to express their gratitude.
After they were seated, Gu Qianying put down her teacup and quickly asked, "Besides your eldest young master, where else did you go before this, and what did you eat? Or what did you use?"
Bai Chongshan and Li Cuihua exchanged glances, their minds racing.
The events had happened a long time ago, and they were mere clues. The elders' minds were not sharp, and after thinking for a long time, they finally recalled the events of that year.
Bai Chongshan excitedly said, "I remember now. Before my son fell ill, he told us that he was going to the back mountain. After he returned, he was in the state you all saw. I was anxious at the time and didn't take it to heart. Many years have passed, and only now do I realize something was amiss."
