After being sentenced to death, she came to her senses.

Inside the Danxi Pharmacy, Fang Xiaoran, dressed in a light green outfit, sat on a soft mat with Mu Li, waiting for patients to come in.

With his hands clasped behind his back, the pharmacy owner, He Chunming, asked with a smile, "So many people have come today, are you planning to extend your consultation hours?"

Fang Xiaoran shook her head, "No need, you just need to promote the Mind-Boosting Pill that I developed."

"Don't worry, I will definitely promote it and make it a household name." Although Fang Xiaoran's lack of delay disappointed He Chunming, the main reason was actually the Yi Shen Dan (益神丹), a divine medicine specially developed by Fang Xiaoran using various precious medicinal materials to nourish and regulate the body. However, it was too expensive to produce and was hard to come by.

He Chunming said in a low voice, "The Yi Shen Dan is expensive, but there's too little of it. I wonder if we could increase the dosage?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaoran gave him a cold glance, and He Chunming felt a chill run down his spine, daring not to say another word.

At this moment, Fang Xiaoran slowly spoke up: "Things are valued for their rarity. Mr. He, you don't even understand this principle, do you?"

The time it takes for three incense sticks to burn quickly passed. When the last incense stick went out, He Chunming reached out to stop the people who were about to enter the inner chamber and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, the time for three incense sticks to burn has come. Doctor Qi will not be seeing any more patients after seeing this last one. Please go back and come again next time."

Hearing this, many people left helplessly, after all, this was a rule that Doctor Qi had set from the beginning and had never changed.

Just as the crowd was slowly dispersing, two tall, burly men rushed into Danxi Pharmacy with their fists clenched. The young shop assistant immediately came to stop them, but was pushed aside by one of them.

Hearing the commotion, He Chunming quickly came to the rescue, asking the two men, "Are you here for a medical consultation or to pick up medicine?"

The slightly younger, burly man glared menacingly at He Chunming and roared, "Where is Doctor Qi? Tell her to come out and treat my brother right now!"

Danxi Pharmacy had been open for many years, but this was the first time He Chunming had ever seen someone causing trouble. He frowned slightly and said in a somewhat displeased tone, "The three incense sticks have passed, and Doctor Qi will no longer be seeing patients. If your conditions are serious, you can go see Doctor Cui first."

"You son of a bitch, I want Doctor Qi to treat my brother!" To everyone's surprise, the burly man didn't leave after hearing this. Instead, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed He Chunming by the collar, lifted him up, and roared at him, "So many stupid rules for seeing a doctor? I'm not buying it. Tell her to come out right now, or I'll just force my way out."

"You, are you trying to cause trouble at my Danxi Pharmacy? Believe me or not, I'll report you to the authorities and have you arrested!" He Chunming was no pushover either; if he were to be taken advantage of like this, there would only be more troublemakers coming after him.

"Report to the authorities?" The burly man sneered, raising his hand and delivering a vicious punch to He Chunming's left cheek. He Chunming saw stars and his head spun, his left cheek burning with pain. The burly man tossed him to the ground like a rag doll, coldly saying, "Go ahead and report it if you dare."

This man's fearlessness in reporting to the authorities clearly indicated he had powerful backers. He Chunming, a mere pharmacy owner, dared not confront these people. He gritted his teeth, struggled to his feet, and said in a trembling voice, "I...I'll go ask Doctor Qi..."

The burly man nodded in satisfaction, "You're smart to know what's good for you."

There was a lot of commotion outside, and Fang Xiaoran naturally knew what had happened, but she didn't intend to go out to help He Chunming out of the predicament. After all, her identity couldn't be exposed, and rules were rules. Once someone broke them, no one would follow them anymore.

Moreover, she had just been reborn, and neither her physical strength nor her martial arts skills had returned to their peak. While she could easily scale walls and rooftops, it would be quite difficult for her to fight two adult men.

The curtain of the cabinet was pulled open, and He Chunming walked in shakily, blood still lingering at the corner of his mouth, his face extremely pale. He clenched his fists and asked in a low voice, "You heard what happened outside, right? They're begging you to treat their elder brother. To quell this matter, why don't you take a look at him?"

He Chunming was also unsure. He didn't know if Fang Xiaoran would agree. Although Fang Xiaoran consulted with him and they were in a cooperative relationship, he still knew nothing about her and couldn't figure out her temperament. If she left because of this, he would really suffer a huge loss.

This is indeed a difficult matter to handle. If we let them run wild, these two might smash up the entire pharmacy. But with so many people watching the spectacle outside, what if someone follows suit?

Fang Xiaoran's eyes turned cold, and she gently took out a silver needle, which would deter them from imitating her.

"Let them in."

Hearing Fang Xiaoran's words, He Chunming was overjoyed and immediately went out to call for help.

He had just stepped out of the cabinet when a scream rang out, followed by a dark figure crashing down at his feet. He was stunned for a moment, then looked down and saw that it was the same arrogant and domineering burly man from before.

"You look quite energetic, not sick at all. Since Doctor Qi has already stopped seeing patients, why are you still forcing him? Isn't that going too far? Aren't you afraid that you'll have no one to treat you if you get sick in the future?"

The sound startled He Chunming, who looked up to see a boy in blue with a high ponytail standing on the back of another burly man, lazily crossing his arms and occasionally pressing down on him, causing the man to scream like a pig being slaughtered.

He Chunming was completely stunned. After regaining his senses, he quickly thanked the young man, "Thank you for your help, young hero, but they..."

"Don't worry, they won't dare cause trouble again." The boy touched his nose, kicked the person on the ground away, and said coldly, "Aren't you going to get lost?"

Upon hearing this, the two burly men dared not think any further and hurriedly scrambled to their feet, fleeing the pharmacy in a disheveled state.

He Chunming thanked him again with great emotion: "Thank you so much, young hero. I will never forget your great kindness. In the future, when you come to get medicine, my shop will not charge you a single penny."

However, the young man reached out to stop him, his gaze falling on the curtain of the inner chamber, and said sharply, "No need, it's enough that someone remembers."

Fang Xiaoran quickly averted her gaze, slightly puzzled. Was he targeting her?

After the commotion, Fang Xiaoran left Danxi Pharmacy through the back door with Mu Li.

She had just stepped down the stone steps and entered the alley when a lazy voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Having helped Doctor Qi out of that predicament, I wonder how Doctor Qi plans to repay us?"

Fang Xiaoran looked up abruptly and saw a luxurious carriage parked at the end of the alley. The young man from before was standing in front of the black horse, leading it and smiling at her.

The speaker was clearly not the boy, but the owner of the carriage.

What exactly is this person's purpose? Could it be that he deliberately hired two strong men to cause trouble, then pretended to help her out of a predicament, but actually just wanted her to owe him a favor and do him a favor?

Judging from the carriage this person is riding in, he is clearly a young master from a prominent family. Why would he need to go through all this trouble?

Is it a coincidence?

As Fang Xiaoran pondered, a pale, slender hand gently pulled back the carriage curtain, revealing a fair and clean face. The moment Fang Xiaoran saw that face, her heart trembled.

Gu Yuqing...

Why is it him?
