Chapter 1710 - Liu Wuxie Standing Out
Divine Physician Wei confidently began smearing the prepared medicine across the city lord's wound.Time trickled by, and after the medicine covered the injury, the city lord's complexion gradually showed signs of improvement. The black blood seeping from the wound also stopped flowing.
"It's working! The city lord's complexion has improved!" Several guest elders standing nearby watched the city lord's face closely, their voices filled with relief.
Ye Linghan noticed the change as well, and when she saw her father's complexion recover slightly, the tension in her heart finally eased. As for Liu Wuxie's earlier warning, she had already cast it to the back of her mind.
"It's all his fault! If not for him, why would we be imprisoned in the City Lord Mansion?" the other guards from the Peace and Stability Merchant Association complained under their breath. Although Liu Wuxie had saved their lives, everything that had happened inside the City Lord Mansion had filled them with resentment toward him.
"Cut it out. Without Young Master Wu, the White Tiger Merchant Association would've already killed us. He saved our lives," Chen An said firmly. Since they had come as a group, they would face any trouble together.
Their conversation naturally reached Liu Wuxie's ears, and Chen An's words improved his impression of the young man.
"The medicine is ready!" In only fifteen minutes, they finished preparing the medicine according to the prescription.
They poured the decoction into a porcelain bowl. Ye Linghan accepted it, sent a wisp of cold energy down to cool it, then brought it to her father's mouth and fed it to him slowly. Yet after the city lord drank the medicine, his complexion showed no further change.
"Cough, cough..." The city lord suddenly coughed violently and spat out clotted black blood that carried a foul stench.
Many people instantly covered their noses, unable to endure the smell.
"Oh no! The city lord's aura is weakening! I can barely sense it now!" the guest elders beside him cried out. They had been observing the city lord's condition the entire time.
