His predecessor had his fair share of teasing her in the past and yet even with such moral caliber, Lu-er actually believed him?
Trust was trust, but Ye Yuan also knew Lu-er’s words just raised the difficulty of things. An expert such as Qian Miao was not to be offended. Not to mention, these two juniors repeatedly questioned his medical skills.
Indeed, Qian Miao’s expression sunk further. He then said in a low voice, “Little lass who does not know the immensity of heaven and earth, why don’t you try to explain how I’m harming people? For a poison from a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python, if Ye Hang were here, this would be how he treats it. Just the two of you juniors still wet behind the ears actually dared to question my prescription? If you don’t explain yourselves today, just wait for a beating!”
Although Qian Miao normally held his nose high up in the air, he actually never used any underhanded means to deal with people. Nobody in the Ye Family dares to offend him either. But today, these two youths caused such a ruckus that he could not take a step back anymore. If he does not demonstrate his prestige and authority, there would be no place left for him in the Ye Family.
The brawny man never expected such a situation to happen either. He stood there stunned, not knowing what to do. Why did they start to fight among themselves?
While Qian Miao’s prestige cannot be compared with Ye Hang, it was still well-established. Even within the entire Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, he can be considered as a master. At one side stood a renowned master, while at the other side was a punk who was still wet behind his ears. Even a fool knew who to trust.
The brawny man initially did not know who this youth was, but after Qian Miao’s fiery remarks, he came to a realization. Was this youth that incompetent son of Master Ye?
As a demonic beast hunter, he naturally would not be ignorant of events happening in the capital. The fame of this young master was likely even greater than Master Qian.
A wastrel like him actually dared to question Master Qian’s diagnosis? Could it be that this punk was bored to death and decided to come and harm my life?
Thinking about this, the brawny man suddenly became furious. He had never messed with anyone and yet was nearly harmed for no reason. This brat had such a wicked heart at a young age!
“This Brother, Master Qian is currently treating me. Please don’t interfere,” the brawny man said in a low voice. Although his words were polite, it was clear the intention was to chase them away.
If the Ye Family were not a power he did not dare to offend, his words would definitely not be this courteous.
“Hey, this Warrior, I would have to trouble you to wait a moment. I, Qian Miao, spent my entire life immersed in the Dao of Medicinal Pills. Having treated countless mortals and martial artists, have never been maligned as someone who harms people. Ye Yuan, you have to say today, how am I harming him?!”
Qian Miao’s stubborn temper flared up. He was bent on teaching Ye Yuan a lesson before dismissing the matter.
“This . . . Master Qian, the poison in this one’s body would become dangerous if it’s delayed any longer. Master, please don’t be angry and help me purge the poison first. They are merely two ignorant youths casually rambling.” The brawny man did not expect Master Qian to take things seriously, so he could only try to persuade the latter.
However, Qian Miao waved his hands indifferently saying, “Relax, it wouldn’t take much time. This old man has a certain level of confidence in dealing with this poison and wouldn’t let you die. If this matter isn’t clarified today, in the future, how will this old man have the face to sit here and make diagnoses?”
Having said this, he then turned to Ye Yuan and questioned the young master with a black face, “Why don’t you say it?! If you can’t explain yourself, then don’t accuse me of bullying you with my seniority and complain about it to your father.”
Ye Yuan stood at the side without a word. Only when Qian Miao started questioning that he opened his mouth and replied, “The poison this warrior was inflicted with did not come from the Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python.”
“Utter nonsense! My two companions lost their lives at its fangs. I myself nearly couldn’t make it back. Don’t tell me I identified it wrongly? Ignorant brat, I have no grudges with you, but why do you want me dead?” the warrior interjected before Ye Yuan could finish speaking.
“Hahaha . . .” Qian Miao laughed so hard until tears nearly fell before saying, “Did you hear that? Completely ignorant! Naive brat, get lost quickly! If you continue to cause trouble, I will call for someone to drive you out!”
Qian Miao was able to identify the poison the warrior was inflicted with at a glance. That by itself was already convincing enough. Furthermore, the warrior escaped from the fangs of the python; how could he have identified the beast wrongly?
Demonic beast hunters dealt with demonic beasts regularly. One could say that apart from own family, they were most familiar with demonic beasts, which further lowered the likelihood of identifying them wrongly.
“Get lost quickly! Don’t delay master Qian from diagnosing us!”
“This mischievous child is actually ruining his father’s business. Truly hopeless!”
“If I actually gave birth to a son like this, I would have long beaten him into a paste with a stick.”
At this time, those around watching a good show could not keep quiet any longer. Believing this was a farce orchestrated by Ye Yuan, they started chasing him away with words.
At that moment, Lu-er no longer had the confidence from before; with a timid expression, she pulled the corner of Ye Yuan’s sleeve. However, she was not retreating. Instead, she took a step forward, standing right in front of Ye Yuan. She was actually afraid these people would become violent and harmed Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan’s heart was touched, but he shook his head before replying calmly, “What you saw with your own eyes might not be what you thought it was. The poison this warrior’s inflicted with actually was not from a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python, but instead, it was a poison from a Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python.”

“You are clueless about what we are talking about! What Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python? I’ve never even heard of such a thing! Do you think that by fabricating a demonic beast, you can deceive us?”
Qian Miao was considered an accomplished alchemist in the State of Qin. Thus, he indeed had researched demonic beasts before. As for this Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python, he had never even heard of such a thing!
If even he had never heard of it before, forget about Ye Yuan, who was an ignorant and incompetent brat.
“Young Master Ye, you aren’t just insulting Master Qian and me, you are insulting all of us demonic beast hunters! We demonic beast hunters spend all of our time fighting for our livelihood under the demonic claws of those demonic beasts. I’ve been a demonic beast hunter for so many years, yet I’ve never heard of this Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python before.”
At this point, the brawny-looking man felt even more confident that Ye Yuan was causing trouble out of nothing. Ye Yuan was plotting to harm his life. Thus, his words were no longer courteous and instead wanted to expose Ye Yuan’s ulterior motives.
Small fries had small fries’ way of living. Although the brawny-looking man might appear unrefined most of the time, in reality, he was sharp in some ways. He was still relying on Qian Miao to save his life, and so, in order to not offend Qian Miao, he tied Qian Miao and him together. Additionally, he brought out the group of demonic beast hunters, all to make Ye Yuan retreat in the face of difficulties.
Even if Ye Yuan does not retreat in the face of the overwhelming odds, the Ye Family would know better than to offend the entire group of demonic beast hunters.
Many of those who came here were demonic beast hunters. After hearing his words, the scene became chaotic immediately.
“That’s right! What Seven-Colored
Flowing Cloud Python! Never heard of it!”
“This affluent second generation really lost face for Grandmaster Ye! It looks like the Ye Family won’t be able to compete with the Drunken Star Manor, and its glory will end with this generation. What bullshit Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python?! I’ve been around the Endless Forest for almost 30 years, and I’ve never even heard of such a demonic beast.”
“Enough, enough. I think we all better go over to the Drunken Star Manor. A perfectly fine Fragrant Medicine Pavilion befouled by an affluent second generation.”
Ye Yuan remained standing still silently, which was unthinkable to Qian Miao who knew him well. If it happened in the past, this punk Ye Yuan would have exploded long ago. Yet now, he was behaving like nothing’s happening, as if those patients were not scolding him.
However, Ye Yuan had thoroughly swept away any face he had today. No matter from which perspective one looked at, Qian Miao stood at the side of reason, so he had nothing to fear. Best to let this brat suffer some hardship. Otherwise, if things continue like this, the family business carved out by Old Ye would sooner or later be destroyed by this brat’s hands.
Ye Yuan’s gaze slowly turned towards the noisy crowd and swept his gaze over those who were happily making the most noise. Initially, those people were very pleased, but without knowing why, those who crossed sights with Ye Yuan, felt like their entire person fell into an ice cellar.
Ye Yuan’s gaze finally fixed onto the face of the person who first incited everyone to go to the Drunken Star Manor. That man was just in the midst of snickering to himself when all of a sudden, he felt a piercing cold killing intent lock onto him. His facial expression froze, feeling indescribable eeriness.
He was a very keen and capable middle-aged man, as well as a demonic beast hunter himself. Those familiar with him knew him as Liu An, but nobody knew that he was actually a spy placed among the demonic beast hunters by the Drunken Star Manor. Anytime something valuable was discovered in the Endless Forest, he would kill and rob that person, and then passed it over to Drunken Star Manor.
This Drunken Star Manor was precisely the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion’s biggest competitor in the State of Qin.
All of a sudden, the initially noisy hall turned silent; the racket akin to a waterfall was being cut in half and stopped abruptly.
For a moment, the hall was so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop. The silence was terrifyingly oppressive.
Liu An was stared at by Ye Yuan that he had goosebumps all over his body. He thought to himself, what’s going on? This punk, Ye Yuan, clearly only has the power of a First Level Essence Qi Realm. A person at the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm like him could crush someone like Ye Yuan to death with a single hand. So why would he experience such terrifying oppression where he did not even dare to breathe loudly, the feeling of facing a terrifying opponent?
Ye Yuan’s strength was evident at a glance. Apart from a few mortals in the hall, virtually everyone was able to see his cultivation realm with a glance. A punk who was weak to the extreme, how could he possibly create such a sense of oppression?
Liu An felt that this was definitely a hallucination, yet the silent hall constantly reminded him that it was not.
The oppressive feeling made him feel extremely uncomfortable, making him feel like he absolutely had to dispel the current state. An Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm being oppressed by a First Level Essence Qi Realm till he could not speak? What an utter joke!
Liu An decided to tear apart this joke. Gathering a breath of true essence, he was just about to open his mouth when Ye Yuan’s gaze moved away from his body . . .
Pffft!
Ye Yuan’s words were interrupted halfway by a sound.
The crowd turned towards the source of the sound and discovered that it was by Liu An. At that moment, he was spraying a mouthful of blood far away, splattering on quite a few people.
He forcefully gathered a breath of true essence to talk, and yet Ye Yuan just happened to withdraw the pressure exerted onto his body, which made his chest feel like it was heavily struck by a sledgehammer. Plus his body was originally carrying some injuries, so he directly sprayed out a mouthful of old blood, and became even more heavily injured right now.
“Young Master, this person seemed to be heavily injured. Why not let Master Qian treat him first?” Lu-er pulled on Ye Yuan’s sleeve and said pitifully.
Ye Yuan’s face briefly revealed an astonished expression, but he was actually full of joy in his heart. He thought to himself that this little lass was intelligent, to actually have such a remarkable follow-up.
“Killing a chicken with a butcher’s knife? It might look serious, but in reality, this warrior only has some light internal injuries. Our Fragrant Medicine Pavilion’s Heart Protecting Pill is renowned far and wide. Just let him consume one, and it will do.” Ye Yuan had a radiant smile on his face while he looked at Liu An.
Lu-er saw that Liu An looked horrifying, so she did not wait for Ye Yuan orders, and immediately left to fetch the medicine. But this deeply frightened Liu An.
“N-no need. T-there are still so many people queuing up in front of me, c-cutting isn’t very nice,” Liu An said with guilt.
“That won’t do. I know you don’t trust me, but are you telling me that you can’t trust our Fragrant Medicine Pavilion’s reputation? I believe everyone is aware of the reputation of our Heart Protecting Pill. Using it to treat your injuries will definitely work,” Ye Yuan said, full of concern.
As he finished, even Qian Miao nodded and said, “That’s right. This time around, Little Yuan isn’t messing around. Even though your injuries aren’t severe, it wouldn’t be good if it continues to deteriorate. Using a Heart Protecting Pill to treat your injuries is perfect.”
In reality, Ye Yuan’s gaze just now stopped on quite a few people. It was just that it paused on Liu An’s body just slightly longer. The others did not feel what he felt, so they did not discover anything amiss with Liu An.
Right now, Ye Yuan seemed to be full of concern for Liu An. Even though nobody knew what medicine he was selling in his gourd, there was nothing wrong with saving people.
In the time it took to have this conversation, Lu-er already rushed back like a gust of wind with a Heart Protecting Pill.
“Young Master, here.” Lu-er gave it to Ye Yuan like she wanted to claim credit for it.
Turning around, Ye Yuan received the medicinal pill. Petting Lu-er’s head, he smiled and said, “It was hard on you.”
“Not at all.” Lu-er shook her head vigorously.
Right now, Ye Yuan had his back turned towards the crowd, and nobody, not even Lu-er, noticed his hand movements.
If one were to pay attention to Ye Yuan’s hand that was holding the medicinal pill, one would discover that the medicinal pill was not being held in his hand, but instead, hovering on top of his palm. While at the same time, Ye Yuan’s fingers were moving at a very high frequency.
After talking with Lu-er, Ye Yuan turned around, walked in front of Liu An and passed the medicine pill to him. “Here, swallow it quickly.”
Receiving the Heart Protecting Pill, Liu An’s face changed color several times.Did this brat really discover something? No matter what, this brat isn’t some saint, so why would he suddenly be concerned about others.
Just as Liu An was feeling nervous and uneasy, his eyes swept around until they were on Qian Miao who was by the side. Immediately, he went up and said righteously, “Master Qian, it’s not me who’s narrow-minded, but rather, Young Master Ye whose reputation isn’t that good. Honestly speaking, I worry about this medicinal pill. Master Qian, please make the decision for me!”
When he said this, everyone all nodded in agreement. But Lu-er could not stand it. “You are such an ungrateful person! Our family’s Young Master is filled with good intentions to save you, yet you are suspecting him!”
“Hmph. Everybody knows what kind of person your young master is. Is there anything wrong with suspe
cting him?” Right now, Liu An also became resolute and refused to eat it.
Qian Miao looked at Ye Yuan and discovered that Ye Yuan was very calm and did not get angry because of this, making him even more suspicious.
Looking once more at the medicinal pill in Liu An’s hands, he took it and scrutinized it, even sniffing it before saying, “This is indeed our Heart Protecting Pill without anything inappropriate. Furthermore, this particular Heart Protecting Pill’s medicinal fragrance is overflowing. Clearly, its quality is even greater than the average ones. I am not forcing you to eat this Heart Protecting Pill, but your injuries right now aren’t light. If you are not careful, it might affect your cultivation in the future. I advise you to just take it.”
Liu An really became confused this time. Could it be that he was really overthinking it? Supposedly, Ye Yuan, this brat had just escaped death, did he really have a change in nature ever since?
Qian Miao, this old fellow, is an honorable man, so he can’t possibly be cheating me. Thinking up to this point, Liu An gave thanks and swallowed the Heart Protecting Pill in one go.

When the medicinal pill reached his abdomen, Liu An felt a refreshing wave. It was as if his entire body relaxed quite a bit.
The medicine’s efficacy was pretty good!
From the looks of it, this punk Ye Yuan really had a change in personality. To actually give him a high-grade Heart Protecting Pill. At this moment, Liu An felt he gauged the heart of a gentleman with one’s own mean measure.
“This Warrior, how are you feeling?” Ye Yuan asked, his face beaming with a smile.
Liu An cupped his hands and replied with gratitude, “Thank you, Young Master Ye. This one was too rash. I hope you can overlook my transgression. However, let’s return to the topic at hand. Forgive me for being ignorant, but I’ve never heard before of a demonic beast called Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python.”
Liu An did not overlook his mission and immediately dragged the topic back after he recovered.
