"Indeed! Divine Doctor Ding has come to our Nanyuan Family, and naturally the common folk seeking medical help have also come here. But Instructor Diao, rest assured, we won’t let her be disturbed before she develops the antidote! Of course, if Divine Doctor Ding needs patients to try the antidote, that’s another matter."
Very capitalist, a rather capitalist statement.
It’s like saying I’m doing this for your own good.
But in reality, Fang Yu only felt it was ruining Ding Hui’s reputation.
And once the reputation is ruined, they would be completely tied to the Nanyuan Family.
Unfortunately, this move is useless against Fang Yu.
Because they never intended to stay long in Da Liang City, so the family-style tactics of the Nanyuan Family, aiming at conventional guest elders, actually don’t work on them.
Sensing the slightly burning gaze of Nanyuan Xian, Fang Yu smiled and said.
"Since the folks in Da Liang City are poisoned by the Water Poison, and we have the ability, naturally we should save them if possible. Lord Nanyuan Xian need not make it so difficult for the common people, right? If the number of Da Liang City citizens decreases, the city will not be a city, and it will be the Nanyuan Family who suffers."
With the phrase "our Nanyuan Family," Nanyuan Xian’s emotional value shot up, and he laughed heartily, saying.
"Indeed, indeed, once Divine Doctor Ding develops the antidote, my Nanyuan Family will take up the heavy responsibility of saving Da Liang City! We will rescue every citizen in the city!"
Rescue is rescue, but how to rescue, that’s another matter.
The dirty business of big families, Fang Yu did not wish to involve further; obtaining the supplies sufficed, and at most he would take care of his own team, the batch of folks who had been following him in escape; the rest, Fang Yu could not be too concerned with.
With some mutual flattery and politeness, both Fang Yu and Nanyuan Xian were well aware inside.
With the affair settled, the two began checking supplies again.
In no time, Fang Yu had roughly matched the inventory list, completing the supply check.
As for the quality, composition, and other issues of the supplies, that needed to be handed over to Ding Hui for a secondary check.
This round, he was merely ensuring that the items provided by the Nanyuan Family were all in place.
"Instructor Diao, are you satisfied with this batch of goods?"
Nanyuan Xian smiled at Fang Yu, though he was puzzled inside.
His family had shown such wholehearted sincerity, offering top-quality materials, yet Fang Yu seemed somewhat indifferent.
In reality, it’s simply because Fang Yu lacked experience and couldn’t distinguish the quality, thus there was no emotional fluctuation.
Nonetheless, Fang Yu was verbally adept.
"Satisfied, satisfied, with the goods personally prepared by the Family Head, how could I not be satisfied, hahaha!"
With the matter glossed over, both sides were quite pleased.
"Then, I won’t disturb Instructor Diao’s rest anymore. About my child, I hope Instructor Diao will keep an eye on it."
"No problem, no problem!"
Having seen off Nanyuan Xian, Fang Yu finally found himself with time.
As for the matter Nanyuan Xian mentioned, it concerned instructing Nanyuan En in Martial Arts, which was only a concern for tomorrow.
Taking out the Martial Arts book "Six-Star Formation Art" obtained from the Nanyuan Family’s library, Fang Yu began to examine it closely.
...
"Captain Song, your name is well-known in Thunder City; we in Da Liang City have heard of it. In this matter, you can’t stand by and watch!"
"Captain Song, I’m kneeling before you, begging you to negotiate with Divine Doctor Ding to let her save my father!"
"Captain Song, what’s the meaning of this with Divine Doctor Ding? Without her, how can we poisoned people survive? Divine Doctor Ding suddenly withdrawing, isn’t she leaving us to die..."
"Attack the Nanyuan Family! Rescue Divine Doctor Ding! I heard the news; it’s the Nanyuan Family that imprisoned Divine Doctor Ding, preventing her from helping us! Rescue Divine Doctor Ding, rescue our hope!"
The Foolish Underworld side was in an uproar.
The citizens dared not go to the Nanyuan Family, so they naturally returned to the Foolish Underworld.
Without the Divine Doctor, the crowd gathered at the Foolish Underworld’s entrance had dwindled, and many began to be let in.
But without the Divine Doctor, even if they entered the Foolish Underworld, it was meaningless.
The Water Poison continued to erode the body, and the longer it dragged, the more serious the condition became.
Besides the Divine Doctor, they could think of no one who could save them; would they rely on the laughable Water of Tranquility from the Nanyuan Family?
But with no sight of the Divine Doctor, they could only turn to the Foolish Underworld, seeking out Song Zhenrong.
Song Zhenrong was worried too.
Although Fang Yu had spoken to him about needing to leverage the resources of the big family to research the antidote to Water Poison.
But developing this antidote isn’t something that can be done quickly; should they just watch helplessly as these people die of poisoning?
If Song Zhenrong could have the ability to relieve and solve the people’s distress, he wouldn’t shirk.
However, having never delved into the path of medical skill, he could only stare blankly.
The only thing he could do, perhaps, was to go to the Nanyuan Family to see Ding Hui, pleading for her to come out and treat these patients for the time being.
"Captain Song, don’t mind them. What do these people of Da Liang City have to do with us? Running errands for them would offend Divine Doctor Ding. In my view, we should mind our own business; how they handle things is up to Da Liang City’s Foolish Underworld."
"Exactly, exactly! We others who escaped can’t even protect ourselves, yet we help them solve their problems. Though it’s said the Water Poison isn’t contagious, but if it were, we’d be finished!"
Unlike the patients from Da Liang City coming for medical help, some in the escape entourage had a distinct mindset, also filled with hostility toward these petitioners.
