This time, Bai Xue's attitude was very different from that of the Shi family. She rarely showed a smile and said, "The Mu family is very decisive in dealing with matters of principle. The matriarch of the family is also very insightful in choosing to become a disciple of Physician Dongfang. The Lord will reward you handsomely. Later, you will come with me to see the Lord and receive your reward."
The head of the Mu family hurriedly bowed deeply and said loudly, "The Mu family thanks Your Majesty."
Afterwards, the head of the Mu family slowly got up and returned to the Mu family's ranks, but he always had a question in his mind: why did he feel that the Lord of Man did not reward him because he came to stop the Shi family, but rather because his wife had become a disciple of the Master, which made him look at him differently?
After Bai Xue finished praising the Mu family, everyone had their own calculations. Originally, the Medicine Domain was divided between the Shi and Mu families, but now it seemed the Human Lord clearly valued the Shi family more. So, who would they side with in the future...?
Dongfang Mian could tell what the people below were thinking just by looking at their eyes. When Bai Xue was about to take the two family heads away, Dongfang Mian stepped forward and said, "Family Head Mu, please wait a moment."
The head of the Mu family turned to look at her. After this incident, his attitude towards her became even more respectful.
“I have a suggestion. The baby is still young, and it may be difficult for him to manage such a large family as the Shi family on his own. I hope that the Shi family and the Mu family can form a friendly alliance for generations to come. In the future, the Mu family head will also need your help to take care of the daily operations of the Shi family,” Dongfang Mian said.
The head of the Mu family quickly agreed, saying, "I will follow your instructions, Master."
Bao Bao completely listens to Dongfang Mian. To be honest, if Dongfang Mian hadn't let him take over, Bao Bao wouldn't have wanted to be the head of the family at all.
Everyone was speechless. They had just decided whether to side with the Mu family or the Shi family, and now the two families had formed an alliance.
Some people secretly cursed Dongfang Mian for being foolish, saying that doing so would undoubtedly hand over the power of the Shi family to the Mu family.
But Dongfang Mian didn't care about any of that. Bao Bao's time as head of the family was only temporary. Dongfang Mian had no intention of keeping him in the Shi family, which was rife with complicated relationships.
Besides, the matriarch of the Mu family was her own apprentice. Even if the Shi family were completely handed over to the Mu family, Dongfang Mian wouldn't have any worries. The main reason was that she didn't care about the Shi family's small, dilapidated assets. After all, she had emptied the treasure vault, so what valuable things could there be left?
After the matter was temporarily settled, Bai Xue took the heads of the Shi and Mu families back to report. Before leaving, she instructed Dongfang Mian to take the baby to Feng Qianxun in a few days to perform the apprenticeship ceremony.
Everyone couldn't help but scrutinize Dongfang Mian again and again. Where did this extraordinary woman come from? Not only was she skilled in medicine at such a young age, but she also seemed to know where the human lord lived, as if she were quite familiar with him.
Seeing the enthusiastic looks in everyone's eyes, which seemed to be about to pounce on her, Dongfang Mian was startled and quickly made an excuse to leave the place after dealing with some follow-up matters.
In the following days, Dongfang Mian reorganized the Shi family. Dongfang Mian, the former chief protector, recognized his merits (mainly because there was no suitable candidate) and directly promoted him to the position of chief elder. The latter was so excited to sit in the position of chief elder that he could not control himself and could not adapt for a while. He felt as if his buttocks were on fire and he was very uncomfortable.
Similarly, Dongfang Mian also entrusted him with handling the internal relations of the Shi family. The newly appointed elder swore to heaven that he would not betray Dongfang Mian's trust in him.
As for Guiyue, the Saint-level Poison Master who initially sought refuge with him, Dongfang Mian saw that she was truly sincere in wanting to follow him. After swearing an oath with her soul, Dongfang Mian kept her in the Shi family to take care of the baby.
The baby, who was initially quite frightened, gradually emerged from the gloom with Mu Bai's company.
