Chapter 534: Survival

Hu Xiner was stunned. She originally thought that she was already the best in the world of money-loving people, but why were the people in Qingzhou City so greedy for money?

It's okay that Zhao Si, a small-time profiteer who sells pirated goods, is greedy for money, but this Doctor He... he has the responsibility to cure diseases and save lives on his shoulders!

The patient is in critical condition, and he still has the mood to talk about the medical fee?

Although she was surprised, she dared not disobey Doctor He's words: "There is no problem with the consultation fee. I just hope you can cure Yun Jue as soon as possible!"

As soon as she said this, she hesitated, not because she felt sorry for the money, but because she thought of a possibility.

Doctor He has such a good relationship with Mr. Du that he is willing to come and see her in the middle of the night. Moreover, he is Miss Du's godfather.

So, will he stand on the side of Master Du and harm Yun Jue?

If her guess is true, then letting Doctor He treat Yun Jue would be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth and harming him instead?

Fortunately, Dr. He's next words dispelled her doubts.

"You're quite straightforward." He nodded approvingly, then said, "But don't worry. I haven't yet completely eliminated the toxins from Miss Du's body. I need to detoxify her first."

When he said this, his words were still slow. Although his meaning was expressed very urgently, his eyes were looking at Hu Xiner seriously and his hands did not move.

"What about Yun Jue? Didn't you say that the time is almost up?" Hu Xiner looked at his calm and unhurried appearance and wanted to grab his hand to save people.

The old doctor said leisurely, "It's okay. They took the Du family's Nine Fragrance Pills. One pill can stop the spread of the poison, so they have to wait for an hour before the poison takes effect."

"That's good!" Hu Xin'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, she finally understood that this old doctor was simply slow in temper, and he didn't allow others to disturb him when treating patients, otherwise his attention would be diverted to other objects.

Therefore, she didn't dare to disturb the old doctor anymore and had to sit in the house without making a sound.

In her left ear was the sound of fists and feet fighting outside, and from time to time, it was mixed with Master Du's laughter: "Good boy, you are quite capable!"

In the right ear, there was the rustling sound of the old Chinese doctor preparing medicine.

After a while, Doctor He finally finished the adjustment and fed Lu Yunjue a pill.

Hu Xiner asked, "Doctor He, how is my brother doing now?"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the green air on Lu Yunjue's lips gradually dissipated. Although his whole face still had an abnormal color, it no longer showed a dying look like before, but instead had some vitality.

Doctor He first fed Miss Du the pills before saying to her, "These Nine Fragrance Pills, when combined with my medicine, will be able to directly dispel the toxins in their bodies. This poison isn't actually that terrible. It's far less toxic than arsenic, but it's just a novelty."

Because it is rare, not many people have been poisoned by it, so naturally there is no way to know the signs of poisoning, and there is no way to experiment and find out how to perfectly solve the problem.

Hu Xin'er said gratefully, "Thank you, Doctor He, for your miraculous healing skills!"

At this time, the battle outside was also nearing its end. Master Du walked in with a beaming face. Just as he was about to boast about his martial arts, his face changed when he saw Hu Xin'er: "Who let you in? Come on, kick her out!"

Hu Xin'er knew from his expression that her husband had probably not gained any advantage. She was concerned about Mu Qing's safety, but explained to Master Du, "Yun Jue did not intend to offend Miss Du. He was indeed wrong. We will come to apologize in person someday."

Mr. Du was displeased and said, "Why are you, a woman, arguing so much here? I hired this doctor, what right do you have to see him?"

As he said that, he ordered someone to kick Hu Xiner out.

Doctor He hesitated, "It's hard to move this poisoned patient, otherwise the poison will continue to spread..."

Lu Yunjue, who had just gotten better, had a faint bluish color on his face again because he was moved.

Hu Xin'er pleaded, "Master Du, the doctor has already collected our consultation fee. It's not convenient for us to move the Yun Jue somewhere else in the middle of the night. Could you please allow us to receive treatment here?"

Master Du glared at me and said, "Don't mess around here! I'm lucky I didn't beat this scoundrel to death myself. What if he shamelessly continues to treat me here and even flirts with my daughter?"

As long as he didn't shout to stop, his disciples would not stop pushing and shoving. Several disciples lifted Lu Yunjue up and walked out in a very rough manner.

Mu Qing also hurried over. There was a faint trace of blood at the corner of his lips. The bandage on his lips was soaked with blood, and some of the bandages were even showing signs of falling off.

He also heard what Doctor He said outside. Seeing those disciples treating the unconscious Lu Yunjue in such a way, he was immediately furious: "Stop it!"

He wanted to take Lu Yun Jue back, but he heard Master Du snort coldly: "Why are you yelling so loudly? You want to show off in front of me, but you are far from qualified!"

He swung out a palm wind, hitting Mu Qing's shoulder. Mu Qing groaned and spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Husband!" Hu Xiner watched him get injured, but she rushed forward regardless of her own safety, letting out a tearful cry.

Master Du stood in front of the bed with his hands behind his back, looking down at them coldly. His tall body and strong muscles exuded a terrifying sense of oppression. "If you know what's good for you, crawl out of here. I'll come back another day to take that brat Lu Yunjue's head!"

Hearing that he actually wanted to kill Lu Yunjue, Mu Qing hurried to refute, but could only cough, and blood foam splashed onto the floor in plum blossom spots during the cough.

Hu Xin'er said angrily, "Du, our Lu family has never had any grudges against you. It's clearly your daughter who has been pestering us..."

"My daughter is so well-behaved. It's a blessing for him to fall in love with your brother!" Mr. Du looked at his daughter's pale face and felt extremely heartbroken. How could he allow others to say anything bad about his daughter at this moment?

He interrupted Hu Xin'er before she could finish, "Besides, it was clearly that Lu Yunjue, that beast, who took advantage of my Xiaoqin today."

Hu Xin'er was furious and resentful. "But we've explained today's events many times. It was your daughter who refused to give Yun Jue the antidote in the tunnel, so he had no choice but to take it away. Why are you so aggressive and not even giving him a chance to live?"

Master Du choked at the question, then his tone became even more fierce: "Humph, how could I not give him a chance to live? I saved his life in the first place!"
