Upon hearing this, the Sixth Elder nodded immediately without the slightest hesitation.
"No problem. I'll agree to anything you ask of me, as long as it's within my power."
Hearing this, Xu Nian's smile deepened. "If that's the case, then it's easy to handle."
"I want you to sign a new document refusing Beller's marriage to Nel's mother."
These words struck the Sixth Elder like a heavy hammer blow, striking him hard when he had just been beaming with joy.
He hesitated for a moment and did not immediately agree.
Xu Nian had also guessed this situation, and instead of forcing him, she said calmly, "You, who have always been neutral, would not lean towards the Prince for no reason."
"The only explanation is that he gave you things you couldn't get, like Mingcao."
After a pause, Xu Nian spoke leisurely, "Mingcao is precious. He claimed it could save your granddaughter. It did work at first, so you agreed without hesitation. But after that, it became useless. You can't do anything about it, no matter how anxious you are."
As he listened to Xu Nian's words, the Sixth Elder's expression gradually darkened, and he did not utter a rebuttal.
Seeing this, Xu Nian continued calmly, "This is why you agreed to Baylor's offer, and now, I'm giving you another chance."
As she spoke, Xu Nian flicked out a talisman with her hand. A blood-red light flashed, swept across the girl's body on the bed, and then quickly disappeared into her.
With a soft sound, the girl's complexion became much rosier, and her fingers even twitched a few times.
"Zhaozhao!"
The Sixth Elder immediately rushed over excitedly, staring intently at the girl.
However, she only moved her fingers slightly and did not react otherwise, as if the scene just now had not happened.
But the Sixth Elder knew that Zhao Zhao must have moved just now!
He looked at Xu Nian, who had just waved, with complicated emotions, and began to hesitate.
The prince exchanged his signature for Mingcao (a type of herb), and then threatened him that he could not go back on his word, or he would cut off the supply of Mingcao.
However, Zhao Zhao has already begun to develop resistance to Mingcao, and if this continues, she will never recover...
After much deliberation, the Sixth Elder remained rooted to the spot. He glanced at the girl, whose expression clearly showed no signs of pain, and gritted his teeth.
I promise you.
Seeing that he agreed, Xu Nian smiled faintly.
[It's so great that the streamer has medical skills; he's solved so many problems!]
[I have a question. The streamer is proficient in magic, spells, and medicine. When did you start practicing these skills? Was it from a young age?]
[Of course! The streamer said he's lived with his master and fellow apprentices since he was a child.]
Seeing the comments section starting to pry into her past, Xu Nian couldn't help but laugh. She said mysteriously, "Actually, I'm an unparalleled genius. I mastered it in just a few years. Why don't you all worship me? You'll definitely have success in both your career and love life!"
The more I look at this streamer, the more like a con artist I'm starting to think!
[It's not just a resemblance, it is her.]
Xu Nian smiled noncommittally, then refocused her attention on the teenage girl in front of her.
"Her name was Zhao Zhao, and she was a smart and sensible child." The Sixth Elder said with a sigh, as if lost in memories.
Xu Nian had already taken out the medicine she had made earlier from her spatial storage and patiently fed it to Zhao Zhao.
With her eyes closed, Zhao Zhao swallowed Xu Nian's medicine with great difficulty.
In an instant, her face flushed, her body felt hot, and she involuntarily furrowed her brows.
Seeing this, Xu Nian immediately struck a talisman, and magical power surged forth, flowing into Zhao Zhao's meridians.
Xu Nian diligently transferred his magical power, his eyes fixed intently on Zhao Zhao's condition, his hands moving in various directions.
The Sixth Elder then snapped out of his reverie and nervously watched the situation before him.
The gentle Xu Nian from just moments ago had vanished, replaced by a slightly serious-looking girl whose slender hands were constantly forming hand seals, with yellow talismans floating around her.
Seeing this, the Sixth Elder couldn't help but sigh with emotion, but he also felt worried.
Although he agreed to Xu Nian's request, what if the Prince held a grudge against him because of this, or even sought revenge...?
His face wore a sorrowful expression, but he felt no regret in his heart.
He only has this one granddaughter, and he would protect her even if it meant giving up his own life!
While the Sixth Elder was pondering, Xu Nian had already withdrawn her movements and closed her eyes to regulate her breathing.
After all, Zhao Zhao had been taking Mingcao for a period of time, and her physical condition was not beyond repair. With the help of her magic and medicine, she would be able to recover to normal in about a few months.
After the examination, Xu Nian breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"How is she?"
The Sixth Elder immediately stepped forward and looked at Zhaozhao with concern.
Because after each dose of Mingcao, Zhaozhao would be in extreme pain, which would last all night.
However, the situation he was worried about did not happen. Although Zhao Zhao was still unconscious, her complexion was rosy and her breathing was even, and her condition was much better.
Seeing this scene, the Sixth Elder's hesitation was completely dispelled.
He approached Xu Nian and bowed respectfully. "I apologize for my rudeness just now. I will fulfill all your requests."
Xu Nian quickly stepped aside, not accepting the greeting, "You don't need to do that. I have something to ask of you. This is just normal business negotiation."
“Even so,” the Sixth Elder raised his eyes, a childlike smile appearing on his weathered face, “I still have to thank you properly.”
Seeing this, Xu Nian stopped making excuses and explained in detail the things Zhao Zhao needed to pay attention to next.
"I understand, it definitely won't go wrong."
The Sixth Elder immediately assured him, his loving gaze tracing Zhao Zhao's features, "It's so wonderful that she can get better."
"So--"
Xu Nian pulled out a prepared document from her pocket. "I also have to keep your promise to me."
If the Sixth Elder was somewhat skeptical at first, now that he sees Zhao Zhao's condition gradually improving, his trust in Xu Nian has increased considerably.
He signed his name on the paper without hesitation, without the slightest doubt.
Seeing this scene, Xu Nian breathed a sigh of relief.
This way, one of the elders was dealt with.
"but……"
The Sixth Elder seemed somewhat hesitant.
Xu Nian asked in confusion, "What?"
“Belle is always nitpicky, and I can’t offer any other help than signing my name.”
The Sixth Elder shrugged with a wry smile, indicating that he was powerless to help.
Xu Nian had already thought of this, and she waved her hand, "Don't worry about it, you don't need to worry about it."
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Elder also breathed a sigh of relief.
If Xu Nian insisted on facing Beile himself, he couldn't very well refuse.
Thinking of this person, the Sixth Elder suddenly slapped his head as if he had just realized something, and said to Xu Nian with a happy face.
"However, I recommend that you go and see the Seventh Elder."
