Seeing Qi Ye spit out a mouthful of blood, Jiujiu let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed that the antidote prescription was correct this time.
Because Qi Ye's blood poison couldn't be diagnosed through his pulse, Jiujiu took out a silver needle and pricked Qi Ye's fingertip. After seeing that the blood on Qi Ye's fingertip had turned dark, she estimated that after three more times, the poison in Qi Ye's body should be completely removed.
Jiujiu looked at Qi Ye's sweaty appearance because of the antidote. She used a handkerchief to wipe off the cold sweat on Qi Ye's head and said gently, "Go and rest."
The Heartbreak Grass's medicinal properties were strong. Even though Jiujiu used a variety of medicinal herbs to moderate it, Qi Ye was still in great pain. After Qi Ye grunted, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
After Qi Ye fell asleep, Jiujiu went to the kitchen to prepare dinner so that Qi Ye could eat a warm meal when he woke up.
Unexpectedly, Jiujiu didn't wait for Qi Ye to wake up, but Bai Tianye.
Bai Tianye was dressed in white. His hair was only fixed with a green jade hairpin. He stood in front of the thatched hut immaculately dressed. When he saw Jiujiu, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a gentle and elegant smile, "Ninth Young Lady, we meet again."
Since Bai Tianye was here, would Ms. Bai be far away?
Jiujiu glanced at Bai Tianye and chuckled, "It seems that you haven't suffered enough from that day. What, do you still want to be beaten?"
Hearing Jiujiu mention that day's incident, Bai Tianye's face turned pale.
As a rising star in the martial arts world, he was seriously injured by Jiujiu's palm. Even if he didn't put up any defense at that time, Jiujiu's surging internal energy showed that Jiujiu's martial arts were far superior to his.
At this moment, Jiujiu mentioned the incident again, obviously to deter him.
Bai Tianye knew that he wasn't Jiujiu's opponent and didn't dare to ask Jiujiu to fight. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "To tell you the truth, I came this time because I have an important matter to ask."
Jiujiu raised her eyebrows. "What's the matter?"
Bai Tianye continued, "I've heard that the Medicine King Valley can revive the dead, so I've personally come to beg you to save my Junior Sister's life."
"Your junior sister?"
"Yes, my Junior Sister has been infected with a strange poison since she was a child. She has seen countless doctors, but no one can cure her. I heard that you are the successor of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, so I came to ask for help. I hope you can be merciful and save my Junior Sister. If you can save my Junior Sister, the Heng Shan Sect will not shirk its responsibility if you are in trouble in the future."
"What a nice way to put it."
Back then, when he spread rumors and caused hundreds of people in her Medicine King Valley to die, he didn't even bat an eyelid. Now that she had something to ask of him, he was polite.
Bai Tianye could not tell if Jiujiu's words were praise or sarcasm. He just stood there and said, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. I hope that Miss can put aside the grudges between us and save my Junior Sister's life."
It was fine if Bai Tianye did not mention the grudges between them. Speaking of grudges, Jiujiu thought of that silly girl, Little Blossom.
Little Blossom gave him her heart, but not only did Bai Tianye throw it away like it was a shoe, he even trampled on it. He even said something that made Little Blossom's heart break when she was on her deathbed.
If there was a hierarchy for trash, Bai Tianye would definitely be the worst.
Even if it was for that silly girl, Jiujiu would not save Bai Tianye's Junior Sister.
Jiujiu rejected him directly. "I'm not saving her."
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. Miss Jiu, you can't ignore the life and death of others just because of the grudges between us."
"What do you mean by ignoring the life and death of others?" Jiujiu's eyes were filled with sarcasm. "I thought that only people from the Heng Shan Sect don't care about the life and death of others. When did someone like me become someone who doesn't care about the life and death of others?"
Bai Tianye did not give up and continued, "As the saying goes, a doctor should be benevolent. I hope that Miss can be merciful and save my Junior Sister's life."
"If I want to save her, I'll save her. If I don't want to, I won't. Why do you have so much nonsense to say?"
Bai Tianye continued, "I only hope that Miss can put aside the grudges between us and save my Junior Sister."
Jiujiu did not expect Bai Tianye to still blabber on even after she had said so much. She might as well make it clear. "If I'm not saving her, then I'm not saving her. Go back and prepare for her funeral."
Jiujiu went back to prepare dinner after she finished speaking.
Bai Tianye didn't expect that Jiujiu would still be so cold-hearted even after he had tried so hard to persuade her. He immediately pulled out his sword, looking as if he was forced by Jiujiu to do so. "Once Miss has cured the poison in my Junior Sister's body, I'll let you do whatever you want with me."
"What? You want to force me to do something against my will?"
Previously, Bai Tianye had been severely injured by her palm strike. Now, he wanted to rely on his martial prowess to save his junior sister. Jiujiu didn't know if she should call Bai Tianye arrogant or naive.
Bai Tianye only saw a blur in front of his eyes. Before he could react, he felt a gentle palm imprint on his chest, followed by a vigorous internal energy.
With a loud bang, Bai Tianye crashed into a tree.
The moment he crashed into the tree, Bai Tianye seemed to hear the tree trunk creaking.
Bai Tianye raised his hand and touched his chest. His body was not injured by Jiujiu's internal energy. Instead, the tree trunk behind him was on the verge of collapsing.
Hitting a bull through a mountain?
No matter how arrogant Bai Tianye was, he clearly understood that he was no match for Jiujiu.
Bai Tianye left in a hurry.
Looking at Bai Tianye's back, Jiujiu turned to look at Bi You, who had a complicated expression on her face, and walked toward the kitchen.
When Bai Tianye arrived, Bi You recognized him.
He was the most outstanding genius of his generation in the martial arts world. His martial arts attainments were even better than some of the seniors, and he was a popular candidate to be the next chief of the martial arts world.
She did not expect that he could not even take a single blow from Jiujiu.
When she thought of Jiujiu's Hitting a Bull through a Mountain, Bi You's eyes lit up. If she had half of Jiujiu's martial arts skills, she would have killed the chief of the martial arts world a thousand times over.
Bi You followed Jiujiu into the kitchen. Looking at Jiujiu's back, she said, "I didn't expect Miss Jiu's martial arts skills to be so powerful."
Jiujiu raised her eyebrows. "I don't think I said that I was bad."
Bi You lowered her eyes.
Jiujiu did not say that she was bad. She also knew that Jiujiu's martial arts skills would not be too bad, but she did not expect it to be so powerful.
No wonder Jiujiu had been teaching Qi Ye martial arts in the Medicine King Valley so calmly all this time. It turned out that she already had a card up her sleeve.
Even without the Daylily, she could take revenge on her own.
When she thought of this, Bi You immediately knelt on the ground.
Clang! Jiujiu's knees hurt when she heard it.
Looking at Bi You kneeling on the ground, Jiujiu raised her eyebrows. "What do you mean by this?"
Bi You lowered her eyes to hide the unwillingness in her eyes. She said softly, "I hope Miss will grant my wish."
Jiujiu raised her eyebrows. "Grant my wish?"
Bi You raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, "Just as Young Lady said, I was deceived by Mo Nansang, but I still remember his kindness. I know I can't kill Mo Nansang, so I want to ask Young Lady to kill him for me."
