They couldn't understand and could only worry.

Xiao Wei and Zhou Shuqiong also looked at Xiao Zhixue with confusion. They had never heard that their third girl had learned medicine, so how could she suddenly claim that she could cure diseases and save lives?

Xiao Wei didn't know that Xiao Zhixue had regained consciousness. He mistakenly thought that she was talking nonsense, so he quickly pulled her back, saying with a hint of severity, "San Ya, stop talking nonsense here. It's obvious that the three of them are not good people. Let's leave here quickly."

Facing her father's worries and doubts, Xiao Zhixue did not get angry. Instead, she gently patted Xiao Wei's arm, smiling gently and calmly: "Dad, don't worry. When I said I know medical skills, I must have real skills. If you still have doubts about this, just watch from the side."

Her tone was firm and confident, as if telling everyone that she had the ability to control everything, including her own destiny and the current situation.

Fan Yanmu stared at Xiao Zhixue, certain that there must be some unknown mystery behind her actions.

However, when she raised a sly smile at the corner of her lips and said lightly, "Two hundred taels of silver is enough to buy your life," Fan Yanmu couldn't help but be stunned.

She stretched out her slender fingers and gestured gracefully, as if she was not talking about a matter of life and death, but an ordinary transaction in the market.

I originally thought that Xiao Zhixue would put forward shocking and harsh conditions. However, at this moment, the mere two hundred taels of silver she mentioned was really insignificant to Fan Yanmu, who was a wealthy man.

He thought for a moment, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he replied frankly: "Okay! As long as you can heal my injuries, I will give you these two hundred taels of silver with both hands, not a penny less."

When Xiao Zhixue heard this, a barely perceptible joy flashed across her eyes, and she secretly felt lucky that the money came so easily.

She turned to face her family, her tone calm but unquestionable: "Then please take off your clothes first."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bolt from the blue, instantly breaking the silence in the hall.

Upon hearing the sound, the two guards immediately rushed in front of Xiao Zhixue like a gust of wind.

Ying Er did not hesitate to draw out his dagger, which shone with cold light, and asked sternly, "What do you want to do to my master?"

Although Yingyi did not draw his sword, his face was equally shocked. He gripped the hilt tightly with both hands, his muscles tensed, and he was ready for battle.

The couple looked at each other in confusion and cast questioning glances at each other.

They knew that their daughter had always behaved strangely, but her request at this moment made it difficult for them to guess her true intentions.

Seeing the flash of Ying Er's knife, Xiao Wei became anxious and stepped forward quickly, trying to snatch his dagger, to ensure his daughter's safety at all costs.

He stared at Xiao Zhixue firmly, absolutely unable to accept the possibility of any strange man hurting his daughter.

However, Xiao Zhixue was not moved by the tense atmosphere. She gently raised her hand, signaling her father to calm down, and turned to Ying Er with a smile: "If your master doesn't take off his clothes, how can I treat his wounds?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ying Er was suddenly speechless and had no answer.

Fan Yanmu had already untied his belt and began to take off his coat swiftly, as if he had no hesitation at all.

Upon seeing this, Ying Er slowly put away his dagger, although he still stood in front of Xiao Zhixue.

Seeing Fan Yanmu's cooperation, Xiao Zhixue gently pushed aside Shadow One and Shadow Two that were blocking her sight, squatted directly in front of Fan Yanmu, and decisively tore off his underwear.

Fan Yanmu was about to stop her, but suddenly felt a severe dizziness. He could only endure the discomfort and let Xiao Zhixue continue her treatment.

Xiao Zhixue's gaze fell precisely on the shocking wound on Fan Yanmu's abdomen. She saw that the wound had severely festered, with rotten flesh rolling up. Several light black lines were clearly visible around it, and one of them was slowly spreading towards the heart.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a hint of teasing, "You have a strong body. You have been poisoned and still managed to hold on until now. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid they would have died long ago."

When these words were spoken, not only did Fan Yanmu, who was already nervous, feel a chill in his heart, but even Ying Yi and Ying Er couldn't help but gasp.

It turned out that Xiao Zhixue was able to see through the fact that her master was poisoned with just one glance. Her superb medical skills were by no means groundless or bluffing.

Recalling the thrilling escape journey, they were ambushed by enemy forces in the dense forest.

The dozen or so secret guards who accompanied him, those loyal warriors who had fought side by side with Fan Yanmu, all died heroically under the fierce enemy's attack.

However, despite being in a desperate situation, Fan Yanmu managed to fight his way out with his extraordinary martial arts.

However, the joy of surviving the disaster did not last long.

During the brief respite, Fan Yanmu suddenly turned pale and covered his abdomen in pain, where a long sword soaked in poison was inserted.

He endured the severe pain and gritted his teeth to persevere, while Ying One and Ying Two were shocked and felt guilty that they failed to discover the fatal threat in time, allowing Fan Yanmu to suffer such severe pain.

Xiao Zhixue was extremely anxious. She knew that time was running out and there was no time to waste.

She decisively pulled out the silver needle from her waist, ready to move her fingers as fast as the wind, using her superb medical skills to seal the relevant acupuncture points on Fan Yanmu to prevent the poison from spreading further.

However, just as her fingertips were about to touch Fan Yanmu's skin, a strong and firm hand grasped her wrist tightly like an iron clamp, interrupting her movement.

Fan Yanmu stared at Xiao Zhixue with a sharp gaze and asked, "Who are you? How can you tell at a glance that I'm poisoned?"

Facing Fan Yanmu's questioning, Xiao Zhixue did not panic. She raised her eyes slightly, and a hint of intriguing smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Anyone with eyes can see that you are deeply poisoned and your life is hanging by a thread. If you don't stop the spread of the poison, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on for even three hours."

When the guard heard this, his face changed suddenly.

Fan Yanmu lowered his eyes and looked closely, and indeed saw a light black line on the wound on the abdomen.

He looked at Xiao Zhixue with a complicated look, and there was a hint of pleading in his voice: "Miss, can you help me get rid of this poison?"

Xiao Zhixue withdrew her hand and stood up. Her tone was calm but revealed her unquestionable confidence: "Although this poison is dangerous, it is not unsolvable. However, the detoxification technique is labor-intensive and requires the assistance of precious herbs, so it will cost extra."

She originally thought that Fan Yanmu's poisoning was not serious and only required simple treatment. But now that she saw that the poison had penetrated deep into his bones, she naturally had to charge more to compensate for the cost of those rare herbs that had just been collected.

After all, detoxification is a matter of life and death, and it is not something that ordinary people can do. Its value is naturally not equivalent to ordinary medical treatment.

Fan Yanmu's eyes darkened slightly, and a hint of imperceptible admiration flashed in his eyes. He knew that the woman in front of him was not someone who took advantage of others' misfortune. Her words revealed her confidence in her medical skills and respect for the value of medicinal materials.
