The Nanyuan Family's latest detoxification efforts prove ineffective, further fueling the desperation of refugees seeking relief. Many flock to the Foolish Underworld, hoping for a chance to see the miraculous Divine Doctor Ding. As the crowd grows, the Nanyuan Family finally arrives, intent on securing a partnership with the doctor, despite their own failed attempts.

"Nanyuan En."

"Master Hong!"

Nanyuan En bowed with a smile, and behind him were the servants of the Nanyuan Family, each holding a chest of varying sizes.

The contents of these chests were precisely the bargaining chips prepared by the Nanyuan Family for the negotiation with Divine Doctor Ding.

Nanyuan En and Hong Yanxia exchanged glances, both seemingly well aware of the other’s intentions.

"Come in."

Without any extra words, Hong Yanxia led the way directly.

The other three families had already set a precedent, so naturally, there was no need to make things difficult for the Nanyuan Family. Treat them equally.

However, outside of these four families, the other families truly received the same treatment as commoners, having to stay outside, unable to set foot within the Foolish Underworld.

"Thank you, Master Hong, for allowing passage!"

Nanyuan En began to probe from the side, trying to gather information about the mysterious Divine Doctor from Hong Yanxia.

However, Hong Yanxia completely ignored him, simply throwing out a "If you have something to say, speak directly to Divine Doctor Ding" and paid him no further mind.

After all, Hong Yanxia never really thought much of Nanyuan En to begin with.

Nanyuan En, seeing this, decisively said no more and silently followed along.

Soon, Nanyuan En was led into a vast area where tents were set up.

Nanyuan En’s expression turned strange immediately.

Not to speak of the Divine Doctor, just considering the expert who took down Lin Liang, the Foolish Underworld shouldn’t give such limited treatment to those two.

Not arranging proper accommodation would have been one thing, but to let them camp out in the open?

Originally, Nanyuan En felt a bit unsure about the bargaining chips he brought this time. But after noticing how little regard the Foolish Underworld had for the Divine Doctor’s quality of life, he felt much more at ease.

There might actually be a pretty good chance of successfully negotiating this time?

Foolish Underworld, who made contact with these two the earliest, would have had a slim chance of retaining them without offering significant bargaining chips.

As for the other three families, it’s not that Nanyuan En disregarded the brotherhood’s bond; rather, the other three families definitely could not muster up as rich bargaining chips as the Nanyuan Family!

Because the level of importance they attach is different.

The Nanyuan Family had attempted to develop an antidote themselves, so they knew exactly how challenging the process was. It required an enormous consumption of resources and time for even slight progress, let alone a complete cure, which was a long and arduous journey.

Under such circumstances, Divine Doctor Ding’s sudden emergence held significance beyond words.

While the other three families also had intentions to pull in Divine Doctor Ding, they might have had their own thoughts of developing an antidote, and given the rushed nature of the information they received, the bargaining chips they’d offer likely wouldn’t be substantial, with some reservations in the mix.

However, the Nanyuan Family made no such considerations, directly bypassing all obstacles and bringing the utmost sincerity themselves!

This is foresight!

This is vision!

Nanyuan En had confidence that, by tonight, he would successfully facilitate this endeavor!

"Are you wondering why I arranged such modest accommodations for Divine Doctor Ding?"

As Nanyuan En contemplated this, Hong Yanxia, who always disliked him, suddenly spoke.

However, still not turning around, she continued walking at the front, merely offering her back to him while speaking.

Though Hong Yanxia could afford to be disrespectful, Nanyuan En could not be without manners.

He was no longer one of the four prodigies of Da Liang; his label now was that of the Nanyuan Family’s successor! His every move represented the family’s etiquette and attitude.

"Master Hong, I didn’t think that, yet I am indeed puzzled. Logically, the Foolish Underworld wouldn’t be unable to spare a decent living space, right? If Brother Diao and Divine Doctor Ding were guests at our Nanyuan Family, I certainly wouldn’t dare arrange accommodations like this for our guests."

Upon hearing this, Hong Yanxia sneered.

"Your Nanyuan Family has extensive resources, which we Foolish Underworld can’t compare to. However, it wasn’t our idea to have Young Master Diao and Divine Doctor Ding live here; rather, it was their own decision. Otherwise, how could we fail to arrange a couple of good rooms? So when you meet them later, don’t say anything unnecessary to avoid causing displeasure."

It was convenient for Divine Doctor Ding to stay in a guest room, but with a stream of patients being sent over, and even several corpses requested by Divine Doctor Ding transported there.

The site was already cleared to become Divine Doctor Ding’s exclusive treatment area.

If they stayed in a guest room, there wouldn’t be enough space for all her work, and moving locations would also be inconvenient.

However, if Divine Doctor Ding needed to rest, they were naturally prepared to arrange excellent accommodations for her.

"Thank you, Master Hong, for the reminder."

Nanyuan En’s words were airtight, prompting Hong Yanxia to suddenly turn her head and give him a cold glance.

"You’ve become more annoying than before."

Nanyuan En smiled wryly.

"Master Hong, previously we were reckless and ignorant, causing Foolish Underworld quite some trouble. Now that Da Liang City faces such a crisis, as successors of the Four Great Families, we must shoulder responsibility and make some contributions for Da Liang City..."

As Nanyuan En continued with his flowery words, Hong Yanxia had already grown weary and ignored him again.

It was as if moving from one kind of annoyance to another kind of annoyance.

Though both were highly irritating, the feeling of irritation was different.

"Here we are, ahead is Divine Doctor Ding’s temporary clinic. Have your people stay here, and come along with me."

"Apologies for the trouble, Master Hong."
