Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

"Father, I really couldn't save you. Seeing you like this breaks my heart."

"If you're gone, how am I supposed to live? That girl said she went up the mountain to gather herbs, but she hasn't come back yet. Could something have happened to her too?"

"If that's really the case this time, I'm truly a beast for harming that girl like that."

The middle-aged man who was saying all this couldn't help but punch himself.

Just then, Bai Lian came over and saw the middle-aged man's appearance, so he hurried over.

"Uncle, what are you doing? No matter what happens, you should try to solve it instead of hurting yourself here."

Upon seeing Bai Lian appear before him, the middle-aged man looked as if he could not believe his eyes and quickly stood up.

"Good girl, is that you?"

Oh my god, I thought you weren't coming back. Thank goodness, you're alright.

Bai Lian smiled and spoke to the middle-aged man.

"I also bring you good news: your child can be saved."

As she spoke, Bai Lian handed the refined pills to the middle-aged man.

"Give this pill to the child, and he will recover quickly."

The middle-aged man was skeptical, but he nodded repeatedly and accepted the pill.

After the sick child was given the food, he regained consciousness in less than two hours.

Looking at the three people in front of the bed, the boy's eyes were full of doubt.

"Father, am I all better now?"

The middle-aged man was overjoyed, and tears of excitement streamed down his face.

"A miracle doctor! A miracle doctor!"

As he said this, he knelt down in front of Xu Yao and Bai Lian with a thud.

"Thank you so much for saving my child. I can never repay your life-saving kindness. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been here."

Xu Yao laughed and quickly helped the middle-aged man up from the ground.

"What are you doing? It's a very simple thing, just a small favor, there's no need for such formalities."

The middle-aged man, who had been helped up, said again, "No matter what, this is all thanks to you. I have nothing to repay you with."

"It's both a matter of courtesy and reason that I should treat you to a meal. Please, please say yes."

Xu Yao nodded, and so the middle-aged man carefully prepared for the two of them.

It was clear that this middle-aged man came from a poor family and didn't have anything of value, but he had done his best to entertain Xu Yao.

After the meal, the middle-aged man attentively saw the two off.

Xu Yao left this place with a heavy heart.

Unexpectedly, what he considered an ordinary pill could actually save a family.

It feels good to do good deeds like this.

At this moment, Bai Lian spoke to him again.

"Xu Yao, why don't you take this opportunity to leave the Blood Demon Hall?"

The dormitory staff shook their heads in response.

Bai Lian frowned slightly.

"Hey you, what you said before wasn't a lie, was it?"

Xu Yao said, "It was just a joke to fool you."

Immediately, immense anger flashed in Bai Lian's eyes.

At that time, Xu Yao lowered his voice and explained in a tone that only Bai Lian could hear.

Although on the surface Blood Demon allowed him to go out freely, Xu Yao knew he had ulterior motives.

A seventh-grade alchemist is quite valuable, and Blood Demon will definitely prevent any possibility of a seventh-grade alchemist disappearing.

Suzhou suspected that someone was secretly watching him, but he was too weak to detect it.

Therefore, even if he wanted to leave, he certainly couldn't leave now.

In his mind, if he really agreed to Bai Lian's request, the person who was following him would definitely appear immediately, forcibly take him back, and imprison him, preventing him from taking any further action.

However, if he rejects Bai Lian, he will then go back and demonstrate his loyalty.

Blood Demon will likely lower his guard against him even more.

By then, it will be much easier for him to come out again, and maybe there won't be anyone following him anymore.

That would be the best time for him to leave the Blood Demon Hall.

Upon hearing this, Bai Lian nodded seriously. He really hadn't realized that Xu Yao was such a thoughtful person.

She lowered her voice and said, "Alright, then do as you see fit. I look forward to the day you leave the Blood Demon Hall."

Just as the two were talking, a man who looked like he was swaying from drinking walked into the kitchen.

The drunkard appeared to be a hoodlum, and a passerby accidentally bumped into him.

Without saying a word, the thug grabbed the passerby by the neck and slapped him hard across the face.

"You blind idiot, can't you walk with your eyes open? How dare you bump into me! If you knock me to the ground, I'll kill you!"

The passerby was startled by the rude thug and quickly apologized to him.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'll be more careful next time."

However, the thugs had no intention of easily forgiving the passerby.

He raised his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and gestured at the passersby.

"I said, do you even have a brain? You hit someone and just want to apologize and leave?"

"Are you kidding me? You have to make your voice heard."

He was talking about playing around when he made a gesture as if he wanted money.

Seeing this, the passerby shuddered in fright and stammered as he spoke to the thug.

"That's the money I didn't bring with me."

I came here to stay with my second uncle, and I didn't have much money on me. If I give it to you, I won't even have money for food.

The thug sneered.

"What does it matter to me if you don't have money? You hit me, so you have to pay for it. If you don't pay me today, I'm not letting you off the hook!"

Seeing that the passerby was unwilling to give, the thug was about to punch him.

Bai Lian frowned as she witnessed this scene, and angrily swayed the thug as she walked over.

"In broad daylight, under the clear sky, you're robbing people here!"

The thug chuckled and gave Bai Lian a careful look.

"Oh my, you're quite a pretty girl. Looks like you want to uphold justice. Since you're good-looking, I might give you that chance."

"Come on, come have a few drinks with me now, and I'll let this guy go, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Lian's brows furrowed even more deeply.

He'd seen plenty of people like that. They might say they'd have a few drinks, but who knew what they'd do to you when they got drunk?

"You are shameless!"

Instead of getting angry at Bai Lian's insults, the thug became even more excited.

"Hey, I'm telling you right now, I'm not only shameless, I'm also incredibly lewd. Go ahead and try to take me down if you dare!"

"you!"
