Chapter 1709 - Willing to Die
Everyone in the hall, including Ye Linghan, turned toward the voice at once and saw a youthful figure stepping out from behind the folding screen. The one who spoke was none other than Liu Wuxie.Liu Wuxie understood perfectly well that the city lord's death would bring them no benefits whatsoever. If Ye Guhai died, Ye Linghan would very likely vent her rage upon them. Although Liu Wuxie didn't fear death, he had no intention of dying here.
His vengeance remained unfinished, and his family still waited for him in the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain. At most, the Heavenly Sealing Array could only endure for another two decades. If he failed to rise before then and settle his feud, his family would face destruction. After carefully weighing every possibility, Liu Wuxie finally chose to step forward because he knew it was his only path to survival.
If the city lord died, the Peace and Stability Merchant Association would also lose its greatest source of income and inevitably decline. Besides, Chen An had even knelt for his sake earlier, and Liu Wuxie remembered that kindness clearly.
"Brat, you're asking for death! How dare you spout nonsense here?" a guard commander roared as he stormed over and grabbed Liu Wuxie by the arm, dragging him out from behind the screen.
"If I'm not mistaken, the prescriptions should contain Hundred Herb Dew, Earth Burial Worm, Fire-Spirit Sevenleaf Blossom... along with several other medicinal ingredients. Those herbs can indeed neutralize the venom of the Emerald Scaled Serpent, but..." Liu Wuxie said calmly as he flawlessly listed every ingredient in the prescriptions, despite never having seen them.
Ye Linghan's eyes narrowed immediately. Earlier, she had been facing away from the side hall the entire time, and she could confirm with certainty that Liu Wuxie had never seen the prescriptions. Yet he still recited every ingredient without making a single mistake.
Liu Wuxie stopped midway through his sentence, intentionally stirring everyone's curiosity.
"But what?" Ye Linghan asked urgently. Right now, saving her father mattered more than anything else.
Divine Physician Wei snapped as he stepped forward and pointed directly at Liu Wuxie's nose. "Where did this brat crawl out from? How dare he question my prescriptions!"
If he succeeded in curing the city lord, his status within Fourfold City would soar dramatically. Naturally, he refused to let anyone ruin such a rare opportunity.
"When did I question your prescriptions?" Liu Wuxie asked as he turned toward Divine Physician Wei. Although this man possessed some medical knowledge, he could only handle ordinary ailments at best. Poison of this level was far beyond his capabilities.
