Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

"Master Ouyang, don't be in such a hurry to leave."

Bai Ziyu struggled to get off the bed. He swayed involuntarily due to dizziness.

His frail, dilapidated yet elegant appearance deepened the infatuation of the many noble ladies whose eyes were glued to him.

Jin Wanliang unconsciously rolled his eyes again, but quickly reached out and supported him.

Those who had already started to leave turned back to look at Bai Ziyu with curiosity.

Bai Ziyu, supported by Jin Wanliang, closed his eyes to adjust for a while before slowly opening them to look at Ouyang Feng.

Ouyang Feng turned around, his furrowed brows and cold eyes revealing his impatience.

If it weren't for the Bai family's influence in the court, he really wouldn't have the patience to waste words with him here.

"Young Master Bai, what else do you want to do?"

Bai Ziyu didn't care about his attitude at all; a faint smile even appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Master Ouyang, why are you in such a hurry? Since you are so certain that Lady Yuan is a Gu Master, then why can't I finish asking you the rest of my questions? Don't you agree?"

Although Ouyang Feng was extremely unwilling, he still forced himself to speak and said in a deep voice:

"Young Master Bai is indeed very curious. Alright, Young Master Bai, please ask whatever you wish to ask. After all,

"Having the Gu Master here poses a threat to the safety of everyone present."

Bai Ziyu, however, smiled faintly and looked at Wen Lang.

Wen Lang was taken aback:

"Does Young Master Bai wish to ask me something?"

Bai Ziyu nodded:

"According to what you said, Master Ouyang had already realized that Lady Yuan was using Gu to prolong Old Madam Cui's life, is that right?"

Although Wen Lang sensed something was amiss, he could only nod.

"Yes, otherwise, Grandma Cui~"

Bai Ziyu raised his hand, interrupting him, and turned to look at Cui Rongxing:

"Lord Cui, if I remember correctly, back then, it seemed that there was no cure for Old Madam Cui. Doctor Ding diagnosed that she would not live past that night, is that right?"

Cui Rongxing nodded:

"Yes, yes, Doctor Ding is certain. Without a miracle, my mother would never have survived that night."

Wen Lang's eyes trembled slightly as he instantly realized why Bai Ziyu had asked this question.

His eyes darkened slightly, and he sighed softly:

"Young Master Bai, I know what you're trying to say. You're saying that since Old Madam Cui won't live past that night, even if Lady Yuan uses Gu magic to prolong her life, she should be grateful, right?"

As he spoke, he glanced around and sighed again:

"But everyone must remember. Gu magic is Gu magic. Even if it can be used to prolong life occasionally, it is still Gu magic. It only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. In fact, it may even overdraw a person's body."

As he spoke, he looked at Bai Ziyu and gently advised:

"Therefore, Young Master Bai, it's best to be careful with your words. It wouldn't be good if people misunderstood, wouldn't you say?"

Bai Ziyu remained silent, met his gaze for a moment, and then chuckled softly:

"Young Master Wen is mistaken."

Wen Lang's smile froze slightly.

"wrong?"

Bai Ziyu, however, stopped looking at him and instead scanned the crowd. The moment his gaze met Yu Shuyan's, a glint appeared in his eyes.

A warmth flashed across his face, as if to comfort her:

Don't be afraid, he's here for you!

Yu Shuyan felt another slight tremor in her heart.

That strange feeling came back. She couldn't help but feel that Bai Ziyu's attitude towards her was odd.

But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

Bai Ziyu noticed her distraction, a smile flickering in his eyes, but he looked past her and at Ouyang Feng:

"I just find it strange that, since Old Madam Cui was afflicted with a Gu poison that prolonged her life, and Gu poison is extremely insidious and can deplete a person's life essence, then why didn't Old Madam Cui's already fading life end after Master Ouyang forced out the Gu poison?"

"Yes!"

"Yup!"

"How did that happen?"

······

Bai Ziyu's reminder made sense to everyone, and they all started whispering among themselves.

Sensing the doubts of the crowd, Ouyang Feng panicked and was about to explain himself.

Bai Ziyu, however, did not give him that chance and continued:

"Also, if I remember correctly, Master Ouyang just said that he has no research on Gu Masters."

"Then, I would like to ask Master Ouyang, how did you know that Old Madam Cui was poisoned by Gu poison, and how were you able to induce the Gu worms and save Old Madam Cui's life?"

Ouyang Feng was really anxious:

"Me~Me~"

The smile on Bai Ziyu's face slowly faded, and his voice became a few degrees deeper:

"Master Ouyang, are you lying? You've always been very knowledgeable about Gu poison?"

Under his oppressive presence, Ouyang Feng was truly anxious:

"Nonsense! How could I possibly have any knowledge of Gu poison?"

Bai Ziyu nodded slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up again:

“I believe that Master Ouyang has no knowledge of Gu poison. Therefore, there is only one possibility for Master Ouyang’s actions.”

"That means neither Old Madam Cui nor I have been poisoned by the curse!"

"Is that so, Daoist Ouyang!"

Ouyang Feng was extremely frustrated, but if he disagreed, it could only mean that he had studied Gu techniques. And with so many wealthy and influential witnesses present, it was all connected to Gu techniques.

Therefore, even Ouyang Xu, or even Princess Changning, could not save him.

Princess Changning might be able to, but how could she possibly go to such lengths for him?

There's even a possibility that she might send someone to get rid of him because she finds him troublesome or fears he'll drag her down.

However, he was too embarrassed to admit it.

Everyone present was a smart man; they could easily see that he was framing Yuan Niangzi.

Bai Ziyu could easily guess what he was thinking. After a moment's thought, he smiled faintly:

"Of course, Master Ouyang meant well. He thought that Madam Yuan, being a woman, shouldn't possess such extraordinary medical skills. That's why he was worried about Madam Cui and me. As it turns out, she did indeed save us."

As he spoke, he glanced at Cui Rongxing:

"Lord Cui and I will certainly remember the Daoist's kindness."

Cui Rongxing snapped out of his daze and nodded hastily:

"Yes, yes, yes, Master Ouyang saved my mother, so it's no exaggeration to say that we should repay this kindness."

Bai Ziyu nodded, looking directly into Ouyang Feng's eyes:

"Master Ouyang, today's events are entirely a misunderstanding, don't you think?"

In Ouyang Feng's heart, he was a hundred times unwilling.

He had hoped to use this opportunity to further solidify his image as a miracle doctor. Although Bai Ziyu had also acknowledged that he had saved them.

However, those present were not fools. They certainly still had doubts about his actions today.

More importantly, he wanted Yuan Niangzi, this vile woman who ruined his reputation, to die, and to die after suffering his abuse.

It seems impossible to do that now.

However, Bai Ziyu was pressing him relentlessly. If he didn't accept his explanation, things would get very complicated. If things went wrong, he might get involved with the Gu poison, and he wouldn't be able to escape death either.

Now, Bai Ziyu has both threatened him and given him face and a way out.

Even if he was unwilling to admit it, he knew that backing down was the best option at the moment.

But I'm so unwilling to accept it!

The prize I had almost won, really, just slipped away like that?
