As a veteran doctor, he hated patients who didn't know how to take care of their bodies. They knew they were ill, yet they didn't know how to control themselves and acted recklessly, ultimately causing the suffering of the doctors themselves.
Nalan Yunzhi was originally a martial arts expert, and her current illness was all self-inflicted. Seeing this woman so disrespectful of him, Xuanming was naturally furious and couldn't help but scold her. In Xuanming's view, this was a sheer waste of medical resources and even more of a waste of his time.
"Second Elder..."
Nalan Yunzhi's eyes flashed with helplessness, like a candle in the wind. "I owe Lingyan a lot, and I just want to spend the rest of my life making it up to him. But Lingyan's heart is as hard as iron, and he won't give me the slightest chance to get close to him. I, cough cough cough... I have no choice but to take a risky move."

"My Laifeng country has strong soldiers and horses, and has never been afraid of anyone. Barking dogs don't bite, and those incompetent people can only talk big. If they are really asked to go against me, they don't have the courage!" Nalan Yunzhi snorted disdainfully, and his words were full of contempt.
However, Nalan Yunzhi also felt that Guo Dongbing's words were not entirely unreasonable. He heard her say leisurely: "Since the envoy is the third princess of Lengyue Kingdom, letting my princess receive her tomorrow is already giving them great face..."
