After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

It's no wonder Li Changfeng is suspicious; as the director of Jingzhou Municipal Hospital, he has experienced far too many things.

What this world has no shortage of are those who are ignorant and incompetent yet love to show off and flaunt their skills, using their ancestors' abilities as a means to attract the envy of others.

They never considered the potential consequences of doing so.

"I concocted the medicine, but because the required medicinal materials are too rare and precious, it can no longer be refined."

Ye Bai couldn't guess what Li Changfeng was thinking, but it was definitely related to the life-saving pill, so he directly cut off the topic.

However, he was not lying; the reason why the life-saving pill was so miraculous was not only due to its formula.

More importantly, every single medicinal herb inside is extremely rare.

Putting aside other things, just take the "thousand-year-old Panax notoginseng," "nine-headed Ganoderma lucidum," and "hundred-year-old snow ginseng" mentioned in the book, for example, they are basically impossible to find now.

Ye Bai was able to possess it before because he was the leader of the Xuanmen sect, with the foundation of the Xuanmen sect's thousands of years of heritage.

Even so, there were only a few plants.

Now that Ye Bai has refined them into life-saving pills, getting them again is almost impossible.

"I knew it would turn out like this..."

A deep sense of disappointment flashed in Li Changfeng's eyes, and he gave a bitter smile.

In fact, he had already made this guess before, after all, something like a "miracle drug" wouldn't be created out of thin air.

Without medicinal materials that meet the standards, even the most miraculous formula is useless.

Moreover, no matter what it is, it is extremely rare when it comes to the category of "saving lives".

"Young man, how many pills do you have left?"

Li Changfeng, having weathered many storms, quickly adjusted his mindset and looked at Ye Bai with anticipation once again.

Since the divine medicine can no longer be refined, it doesn't matter whether Ye Bai is a spoiled brat who steals good things from his elders. The key is how many life-saving pills are left.

"...That was the last one that Mi Zi really ate."

Ye Bai immediately became alert and quickly shook his head.

Then, fearing that Li Changfeng wouldn't believe him, he looked at Shen Lu and asked, "You didn't throw away that little medicine bottle, did you? Let Dean Li see it."

"I didn't throw any away, but it's already empty!"

Shen Lu quickly took out the small porcelain bottle and handed it to Li Changfeng.

Upon receiving it, Li Changfeng didn't even need to open it; a gentle shake was enough to tell him that it was indeed empty.

In the end, Li Changfeng could only sigh helplessly, "What a pity..."

At this moment, Dean Li, who was originally quite dignified, seemed to have aged several years in an instant.

"Dean Li, you want that life-saving pill? Is someone in your family seriously ill? If so, I can help you diagnose it..."

Seeing that the old man looked a bit pitiful, Ye Bai kindly asked him.

Queen Qin could not possibly offer payment for such a service; he could only provide free medical consultations.

But as a qualified doctor, saving lives is his duty, and the reward is not important.

"No... never mind, since we don't even have that life-saving pill anymore, there's no point in talking about it."

Li Changfeng shook his head, then turned and left dejectedly.

"...What exactly are they planning in the end?"

Ye Bai looked at Li Changfeng's retreating figure with a puzzled expression, but did not call out to him.

The number of life-saving pills is indeed small, but it's not just the previous one.

Otherwise, Ye Bai might not have been willing to give it to Mi Zizhen.

In terms of closeness, Qin Wanqing, Shen Lu, and Old Madam Qin are his true family.

He had to leave one of these life-saving treasures for each of them.

As for the others, they can only stand aside.

Free medical consultations are fine, but such precious medicines cannot be given away casually.

It's like seeing a pitiful beggar on the street. You can give him some money or buy him some food if you can afford it, but you can't give him your only house and car.

That's not kindness, that's idiocy.

Ye Bai quickly wrote out the prescription, but the question of who to give it to became a problem.

Mi Zizhen is not from Jingzhou. Although she has a younger sister here, she is also lying in a hospital bed.

The woman surnamed Kang from before was actually Mi Zizhen's cousin, but she has already been kicked out.

Moreover, even if he wasn't kicked out, Ye Bai would never entrust such an important task to the other party.

Shen Lu made it very clear that the woman was obviously after Mi Zizhen's accidental death insurance and wished her cousin dead.

If Ye Bai dared to let him prepare and decoct the medicine, the other party would dare to poison it directly.

That way, everyone who's been framed will be there, and Ye Bai will be made the murderer.

Giving it to a nurse wouldn't work either. First of all, they don't offer that service, and secondly, they wouldn't trust Ye Bai's medical skills.

In the end, Ye Bai realized that he could only do it himself first, and then hand it over to Mi Qianqian after she recovered.

A younger sister would never harm her older brother; there's no need to worry about that.

Just thinking about how, after the Celestial Master took him as his disciple, he had to serve him every day and treat him like an ancestor, made him feel uneasy.

Although Mi Zizhen is not his disciple, he can be considered a nominal disciple, yet he still has to serve her, which is quite sad.

Fortunately, Ye Bai also has someone to do things for him. Since silly Lulu always thinks that Mi Zi really is Miss Lulu, it seems only natural for her to help her junior brother brew and deliver medicine.

After leaving Mi Zizhen's ward, Ye Bai went to check on Mi Qianqian.

The little girl has woken up and is being questioned by the police.

Mi Qianqian was the only one who had seen the kidnappers, and the information she possessed was very useful in the pursuit.

Seeing this, Ye Bai didn't go in. After chatting with the two sycophantic Xie brothers outside the ward for a few minutes, he left first.

By the time I got home after all that trouble, it was already midnight.

Qin Wanqing was still awake, and she even specially asked the kitchen to leave food for Ye Bai and Shen Lu.

Shen Lu didn't think much of this scene; her mistress had always been so kind to her.

But a strange feeling welled up in Ye Bai's heart, a kind of indescribable warmth.

When he was with the Ye family, if he was delayed by something and missed a meal, the Ye family would not only leave him food, but also clean up the leftovers.

"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat! What are you standing there for?!"

Qin Wanqing glared at Ye Bai and said irritably.

I was just sending those two guys to run an errand, but they ended up causing so much trouble. I'm sure no one else has this knack for attracting trouble.

The two children, one big and one small, were starving. After quickly heating it up, they wolfed it down.

After chatting for a few minutes, Qin Wanqing went to wash up and go to bed. She always had the habit of going to bed early and waking up early, and she was already quite sleepy by now.

After cleaning up, Ye Bai tiptoed back to the bedroom, washed up, and then stood in front of Qin Wanqing's window.

After watching quietly for a while, I gently covered the other person with the blanket...
