Chapter 1900: Whose Fault

Still, Mei Shuhai wasn’t wrong. If Wen Jiaquan were publicly condemned as a quack at the Bai Family’s celebration, the entire Heavenly Medical Valley would suffer a major blow to its reputation.

Elder Yu frowned and said, “So, Dr. Mei, what do you suggest we do?”

“Whatever it takes, we must earn the Bai Family’s forgiveness,” Mei Shuhai urged. “Perhaps we could offer them some high-grade pills or other treasures…”

Elder Yu waved his hand dismissively, shutting down the idea. “The treasures we can offer from the outer sect wouldn’t impress the Bai Family. And as for inner sect items, those aren’t exactly within our reach.”

Mei Shuhai’s expression froze, his eyes filled with worry and frustration as he began pacing anxiously around the room.

Just then, Wen Jiaquan spoke up calmly, “I might have a solution—though I’m not sure Dr. Mei will agree.”

Elder Yu quickly asked, “What’s your plan?”

As soon as Wen Jiaquan asked, Mei Shuhai’s expression darkened. He clenched his teeth, and his countenance contorted with seething rage.

Seeing this, Elder Yu immediately came back to his senses and asked, “What do you mean?”

Wen Jiaquan fainly grinned. “My suggestion remains the same—if we can bring Xi Yue to Heavenly Medical Valley as a mentor, the Bai Family will credit us with curing Mrs. Bai’s illness. This way, our reputation will be safe. And, out of respect for Xi Yue, the Bai Family may not press too hard on the matter of my misdiagnosing Mrs. Bai’s unborn child as a stillbirth.”

Mei Shuhai glared at Wen Jiaquan, his tone grim. “In the end, you just want that Xi Yue to join Heavenly Medical Valley? What exactly did he offer you to make you support him so eagerly?”

“Dr. Mei, are you sure I’m helping Xi Yue?” Wen Jiaquan scoffed. “Since you disagree, perhaps I should head over to the Bai Family now and confirm our attendance at the young master’s celebration. What do you say?”

Mei Shuhai’s face turned pale, and he was filled with so much resentment that he could no longer say a word.

If the powerful Bai Family truly decided to hold him accountable for the misdiagnosis, he would face consequences he couldn’t possibly escape.

Elder Yu asked, “Dr. Mei, what do you think?”

“Hmph

, do as you please. I’m done with this!” With a dark expression, he turned and walked away.

Do you want to come in and be a mentor at Heavenly Medical Valley? Okay, he’ll let that brat in.

But he wouldn’t let them off that easily. Once Xi Yue was in, he’d make sure to torment him until life became a living nightmare—only then would he feel avenged for today’s humiliation.

…

Xi Yue had been busy lately.

Yet, she neither engaged in a duel in the Spirit Refining Domain nor increased her daily patient consultations; instead, she focused most of her effort on refining pills. ṝ�

Since grade 5 medicinal pills wouldn’t fetch a good price, she tried to find a way to elevate their quality, turning the grade of her medicinal pills to grade 6.

In the beginning, the results were nothing but failures day after day.

However, Xi Yue’s failures were different from others. Instead of the entire batch being ruined, the pills intended to be grade 6 became grade 5 or grade 4.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

By the fourth day, Xi Yue was utterly exhausted. In a moment of hazy distraction, she accidentally mixed the purified Circle of Life into the spiritual fire.

To her surprise, as the pill cauldron finished, it suddenly burst with a brilliant light, filling the entire space with a rich, potent fragrance that even startled the Little Red Bird and Purple Abyss Vine.
