Chapter 35: Fire Poison (5)
“Nona Ye must have planned this road ahead. Mixing the soil crust as an additive into existing medicines will take longer. By applying it directly to the open wound, the poison present in the bloodstream will be directly suppressed. His.... the first time I saw such a method.”
Si Ye looked at Ye Qingtang, with eyes full of suspicion and confusion.
After emptying a bottle full of Ifrit scales into the wound, Si Qiong's dry skin gradually recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. His fever subsided and his breathing also became stable.
All of this went like a miracle right before Si Ye's eyes.
Ye Qingtang made sure there was nothing left in the bottle before concluding his treatment. He stored the empty bottle and said: “This will suppress the Fire Poison inside his body. But to neutralize his poison completely, he still needed the Ice Lotus”
Si Ye glanced at Ye Qingtang in confusion before turning to Dr. Xu to assess Si Qiong's condition. His mood certainly softened.
Dr. Xu reassessed Si Qiong's vital signs and as Ye Qingtang had determined, "His condition has stabilized, there should be no further problems for now."
When Si Ye found out that the poison had indeed been suppressed, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
But….
When he felt Ye Qingtang's indistinct smile, Si Ye's initial anger turned to shame and her dashing face turned slightly red.
“Nona Ye... forgive me..” Si Ye made an awkward apology. Although he had a hard time believing it, but Ye Qingtang had actually achieved what he claimed at first.
Ye Qingtang smiled but remained silent. Winning the hearts and minds of the Si family has never been a walk in the park. Otherwise, he would not have tried his best to save their lives.
Si Ye came to the main hall and told Old Master Si that Si Qiong was already out of danger.
When Old Master Si found out that it was all thanks to Ye Qingtang, he had quite a complicated expression on his face. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "It looks like we owe him a favor, again."
"Grandfather, what's wrong with him?" Si Ye was clearly confused.
Old Master Si looked at his ruffled granddaughter, before revealing Ye Qingtang's story, about how she requested a meeting with Mu Su in return for taking care of Si Bai and the difficulties she faced in the Ye household.
Si Ye was very astonished by what he heard.
“Si Ye's…. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to repay her bud now. ” Old Master Si shows a bitter face. If treating Si Bai, for the time being, reduced his prejudice, supplementing it by saving Si Qiong's life had fully gained his trust towards the ill-fated girl from the Ye household.
If not for Ye Qingtang, two lives would have been lost.
Si Ye was deep in thought when Old Master Si saw his left arm dangling abnormally from his shoulder, "What's wrong with your arm?"
Si Ye faltered for a moment after being reminded of his sprained arm. He chuckled nonchalantly, before putting his hands in his place, "Only a lesson I deserve."
“Grandfather, I was the one who treated him insolently from the start. I'll apologize to him officially in a moment.” Si Ye added sincerely.
Old Master Si brushed off his statement by waving his hands, “Although he is still young, he is truly incomparable to other girls his age. Since he's not against you, I'm sure he didn't put this matter to heart. Only one thing you need to remember, we must respect him and respect him in the future.”
