Seeing Dongfang Mian looking at him, the head of the Mu family said, "Miss, I'm really sorry. My son is still young and I didn't know the specifics of the situation before I took the liberty of inviting you to treat my wife. We are deeply sorry for this. Our Mu family will cover your travel expenses. If you need any other compensation, please feel free to ask, and we will do our best to meet your needs. As for treating my wife, we won't trouble you with that."
Seeing that Patriarch Mu had said so much, Dongfang Mian chuckled and said, "Actually, Patriarch Mu, you don't need to say so much. You can just say that you don't believe me and that I should get lost as soon as possible. I can understand that."
The head of the Mu family blushed slightly at Dongfang Mian's words. Where did this girl come from? She didn't hold back at all when she spoke.
Mu Bai stared at the head of the Mu family in disbelief and said, "Father, you don't believe Sister Mian?"
Mu Bai had always thought his father was a visionary and insightful head of the family. He never expected that with such a treasure as Dongfang Mian right in front of him, his father would not only fail to serve her well, but would actually try to drive her away.
At this point, the elders began to lecture him all at once.
"Young Master, you don't understand. Even Emperor-level physicians can't cure your mother's illness. How could this young lady, who is so young, have medical skills that surpass those of Emperor-level physicians?"
"That's right, young master, you're still young. The world is in chaos right now, and there are so many swindlers. You can't judge people well, so you need to learn more."
"Young Master, you must learn from this experience and never reveal your identity carelessly, lest you attract those with ill intentions."
"..."
This time, Mu Bai didn't burst into tears like before. Instead, he angrily shouted at the elders, "I won't allow you to speak ill of Sister Mian! She's not a fraud. She's the most skilled physician I've ever seen, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times more skilled than any of your so-called Emperor-level physicians!"
The elders fell silent after Mu Bai's shout, and the head of the Mu family stared at Dongfang Mian in surprise, seemingly thinking that this swindler was quite capable, having made his son so blindly worship him.
Dongfang Mian, who was initially very unhappy with the behavior of the Mu family head and was thinking of leaving, couldn't help but soften her heart and stay after seeing Mu Bai's behavior.
"He's even more powerful than an Emperor-level physician. Young Master, don't talk too big of a deal," an elder said.
"Hmph, I'm not talking nonsense. Sister Mian is really amazing. She not only saved my life in the poisonous land, but also easily caught the Poison Mother," Mu Bai said proudly.
"Oh? So you are Bai'er's savior, young lady. I was rude just now, please forgive me," the head of the Mu family quickly bowed to Dongfang Mian and said.
Dongfang Mian waved her hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about.
However, some people still raised questions: "Poison Mother, young patriarch, do you know what the Poison Mother looks like? She is the origin of the Poison Land. How can she be captured by just anyone? Do you know how many years that Poison Land has existed?"
Mu Bai was speechless after being asked the question, and looked to Dongfang Mian for help, saying, "Sister Mian, could you take out the Poison Mother and let them see it?"
Dongfang Mian nodded, casually took out the Poison Mother and threw it on the ground. On the way here, Dongfang Mian forced the Poison Mother to sign a master-servant contract with him. This is an unequal contract between a human and a beast or between a human and a poisonous creature, so Dongfang Mian is no longer afraid that the Poison Mother will run away.
When the elders saw Dongfang Mian casually toss a golden queen ant on the ground, they burst into laughter. "Hahaha, this is hilarious! You call any random ant a poisonous queen? I could do that too!"
