The whole family of villains listens to my heart, the Regent Prince treats me dearly.

The crowd surged forward, surrounding Zhai Muling. Zizhu stood in front of her, shouting, "Calm down!"

"Speak one by one, if you have something to say!"

"Don't push!"

"Don't squeeze!"

Upon seeing this, Xue Qingchuan immediately rushed over anxiously.

"Everyone! Everyone!" the young apprentice cried, "Please listen to my master!"

Everyone turned around when they heard the noise.

They were all stunned when they saw Xue Qingchuan.

My goodness! How can there be such a handsome man in the world...

The woman who led the tantrum had stars in her eyes.

Zhai Muling was also taken aback when she saw him: "Valley Master Xue... what are you doing here?"

Snow Valley Lord?

Is he the Lord of Snow Valley?

When the people heard Zhai Muling's words and saw his silver hair, they finally realized what was going on.

Perhaps it was his aloof demeanor that affected everyone, for the noisy crowd inexplicably quieted down.

Xue Qingchuan stepped forward, picked up the handkerchief the woman had thrown on the table, sniffed it, and said indifferently, "The bloodstains on this are chicken blood."

"what?!"

"It's chicken blood!" the people exclaimed in surprise.

Zhai Muling took the handkerchief and smelled it carefully, discovering that the scent was indeed somewhat different.

In her haste, she forgot to defend herself.

The woman's face stiffened. "You...you say it's chicken blood, so it's chicken blood?"

"This is clearly the blood my old man coughed up!"

Seeing that she was still trying to argue, Xue Qingchuan handed the handkerchief and the medicine packet on the table to the apprentice.

He said loudly, "If you insist on your own version of events, then I will send these things to the Jingzhao Prefecture. Whether the bloodstains on them are human blood or chicken blood will be known immediately upon examination."

"And this medicine packet, the herbs inside are indeed as Miss Zhai said, neutral and mild in nature, and could never harm anyone."

"You should all trust my medical skills."

His gaze swept across the crowd, and the people whispered among themselves.

"Indeed, Valley Master Xue's medical skills are among the best in our Dragon Flame Kingdom."

"If he says there's nothing wrong with the medicine, then there must be nothing wrong with it!"

"I knew this woman was here to frame Miss Zhai."

Seeing the hostile looks from the crowd, the woman's face turned pale instantly, and she stammered, "I...I didn't falsely accuse her..."

His eyes darted around nervously.

Xue Qingchuan said coldly to the woman, "You have provoked us without cause. If the Jingzhao Prefecture comes to investigate, they will definitely charge you with disturbing the peace and extortion."

“Those who take advantage of the situation to make a profit will also be held accountable.” His cold gaze swept across the crowd.

The group that had been making a fuss immediately fell silent and slunk away.

The woman also wanted to slip away, and as she backed away, she said, "You...you're bullying us because of your power..."

"I can't beat you!"

After saying that, he turned and ran away.

Xue Qingchuan wanted to tell the medicine boy to catch up, but Zhai Muling stopped him.

“There’s no need to chase after them,” Zhai Muling said.

"Someone must have sent her to deliberately cause trouble. She's just an ordinary person being used as a pawn."

Even if we catch them, it won't help.

"Thank you, Valley Master Xue." Zhai Muling bowed.

Xue Qingchuan instinctively reached out to help her, but his hand froze in mid-air and he withdrew it. "You don't need to be so polite with me."

"We were master and disciple after all, how could I just stand by and watch someone die?"

Seeing the aloofness on her face, Xue Qingchuan felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

He suppressed his emotions, glanced at the stall, and feigned ignorance, asking, "Mu Ling, are you setting up a stall to provide free medical consultations because you're thinking of opening a clinic?"

Zhai Muling looked up, her face full of surprise, "How did you know?"

Xue Qingchuan smiled bitterly.

How could he not know what she was thinking?

“If you want to open a clinic, I can go with you,” Xue Qingchuan said.

Seeing that Zhai Muling looked like she was about to refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry, I don't usually come to this clinic."

I know you have concerns.

"You must be afraid that you won't do well, which is why you've been hesitant to make a decision."

“I will register my name here with you. If you encounter any difficult or complicated illnesses, you can send my apprentice to Medicine King Valley to deliver a message, and I will treat you.”

Xue Qingchuan pointed to the medicine boy, "He will stay here to help you."

Zhai Muling hesitated for a moment, "Valley Master Xue, this..."

"Don't misunderstand, I have no ulterior motives," Xue Qingchuan smiled faintly, lowering his eyes to conceal the emotion in them. "I just don't want to waste my medical skills."

"Besides, I also need to make a profit from this clinic."

Seeing that he had distanced himself completely and seemed to have no other intentions, Zhai Muling finally felt relieved.

The clinic needs staff, but Rong'er is busy and we can't trouble her all the time.

The apprentices in Medicine King Valley are already much better than the doctors outside.

She hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

He then added, "One percent profit is too little. If you treat difficult and complicated cases, you should naturally take at least three percent of the profit."

Xue Qingchuan's eyebrows curved into a slight smile.

"Then three parts."

……

Zhai Rongyu pushed open the door, and a wave of gloomy energy rushed towards her.

The door behind them slammed shut.

Zhai Rongyu turned to look at the bed, where a sickly woman lay, barely breathing.

Her rough face was flushed with an unnatural redness, but her features were pale and bluish-white, and her eyes were sunken. She was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

It was clearly unconscious, yet it kept muttering to itself.

Zhai Rongyu's eyes sharpened.

[It really is an evil spirit possessing him.]

Judging from her condition, she has a persistent high fever and is delirious.

Once the evil entity drains her of her vital energy, there will be no saving her.

No, we have to force this evil thing out first!

She made a hand seal and threw a golden talisman at the woman on the bed.

A flash of golden light appeared, and an evil creature, scalded, screamed as it sat up from the child's mother and floated out.

Zhai Rongyu raised an eyebrow. "So you're a ghost prostitute."

Ghost prostitutes are the ghosts of courtesans who died.

If she were to truly drain the child's mother's life essence and take over her body, who knows how many people she would harm.

[The alluring prostitute is skilled in seduction and difficult to deal with.]

If we confront them head-on, we'll inevitably lose some of our mental strength.

The only way is to first lull her into a false sense of security, and then seize the opportunity.

The ghost prostitute was beautiful, but her face was very pale.

In a fit of rage, she stubbed out the will-o'-the-wisp burning in her hair, glared at Zhai Rongyu with deadpan eyes, and shrieked, "Damn Taoist priest, how dare you burn my hair!"

Her eyes blazed with fury.

After seeing Zhai Rongyu's face clearly, the ghost prostitute suddenly began to flirtatiously twirl her scorched hair, looking her up and down.

This female Taoist priest is quite beautiful...

If one were to possess her body, wouldn't it be incredibly easy to absorb men's essence in the future?

She rolled her eyes, bent her arms to reveal her sharp, long nails, and lunged at Zhai Rongyu.

"Wait a minute, beautiful lady!"

Zhai Rongyu suddenly spoke up, extending the golden talisman forward, and the ghost prostitute immediately stopped.

Beauty?

She glanced at the talisman, flipped it over with her dead eyes, and twisted her alluring body, saying, "Your eyesight is pretty good, Taoist priest."

"But I'm not falling for that!"

The ghostly prostitute made a move to pounce again, and Zhai Rong sighed softly: "Do you know what your biggest regret in this life is?"
