Chapter 1307: Asking for Humiliation?

"Elder Feng, how is she?"

In a private room of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Ye Yuan asked anxiously, addressing Feng Ping, who was taking Liang Wanru's pulse.

Feng Ping was the chief alchemist of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in Guishan City. Through Manager Su's introduction, he had agreed to examine Liang Wanru.

Ye Yuan was now known as the God of Alchemy, but he could only refine Divine Essence Pills and was utterly powerless against Liang Wanru's condition.

Feng Ping shook his head and sighed, "Miss Wanru has a mortal body, yet she has been afflicted with a divine-grade chronic poison. How can her body withstand it? Now, the poison has entered her five viscera and six bowels, and is about to surge into her Spiritual Platform!"

Ye Yuan's expression changed upon hearing this. He currently had no divine essence and could not take Liang Wanru's pulse.

But as an experienced alchemist, he knew full well how dangerous it was for the poison to enter the Spiritual Platform.

No matter how weak the poison, once it entered the Spiritual Platform, even immortals would find it hard to save the person!

"Elder Feng, is there really no way?" Ye Yuan asked with a frown.

Feng Ping shook his head, "To neutralize this poison, nothing less than a one-star divine-grade解毒丹 (detoxification pill) is needed! In all of Guishan City, no one can refine a one-star divine-grade解毒丹!"

A divine-grade解毒丹 was truly a divine existence.

Not to mention Guishan City, even a two-star Divine Alchemist might not be able to refine one.

Divine-grade pills required extremely strong strength and heaven-defying luck to successfully refine.

Beside them, Manager Su also sighed, "I know this girl. Though she cannot speak, she is very pure in nature. I never imagined that Liang Mingyu would do something so cruel as a beast devouring its own offspring. Truly devoid of conscience!"

Elder Feng revealed a disdainful look, "Liang Mingyu is too snobbish. Back then, to align himself with the Wang family, he married Wang Pianran while his first wife's body was still warm. This has always been a laughingstock in Guishan City."

Manager Su suddenly seemed hesitant to speak, which caught Ye Yuan's attention.

"Manager Su, do you have a way to save Wanru?" Ye Yuan quickly asked.

Feng Ping glanced at Manager Su and said, "Don't even think about it. It won't work."

Manager Su said, "Yes, Ye Yuan, this path is indeed unfeasible. Better not mention it, to spare you the worry."

Ye Yuan asked curiously, "What do you mean? Manager Su, Miss Wanru is my lifesaver. No matter how difficult the matter, I am willing to do it!"

Feng Ping chuckled, "This matter, I'm afraid you really can't handle it."

Ye Yuan looked puzzled. Manager Su sighed, "The poison Miss Wanru has been afflicted with is called 'Crow Feather Thousand Nights,' a secret of the Wang family. As long as the poison hasn't entered the Spiritual Platform, Wang Lingbo of the Wang family can neutralize it!"

"That Wang Pianran is Wang Lingbo's own sister!"

Ye Yuan's brow furrowed. Feng Ping and Manager Su's meaning was already clear.

This was the Wang family's poison, and only the Wang family could neutralize it.

And the Wang family was Wang Pianran's maiden family!

Was Ye Yuan supposed to go and beg the Wang family?

This time, Ye Yuan had stormed the Liang family to take someone, and Luo Jian had severely injured the Second Elder and Liang Mingyu. The enmity was already deep.

Given Wang Pianran's viciousness, how could she possibly let her brother save Liang Wanru?

Ye Yuan took a deep breath and asked Feng Ping, "Elder Feng, how much longer can Miss Wanru hold on?"

Feng Ping thought for a moment, "It's hard to say. At the latest, probably by tomorrow!"

Ye Yuan's expression darkened. He asked again, "Elder Feng, I would like to ask you for a heaven-grade one-star解毒丹. Is that possible? Of course, I won't take it for nothing. I can compensate you with a hundred heaven-grade Divine Essence Pills."

Feng Ping glanced at Ye Yuan and laughed, "As far as I know, you currently only know how to refine Divine Essence Pills, right? Are you planning to refine a divine-grade解毒丹 yourself? Give it up! It's absolutely impossible!"

Ye Yuan nodded, "I'll go to the Wang family. If they agree to hand over the antidote, then all is well. If not... then I'll have to do it myself!"

Ye Yuan's words shocked everyone.

They had already seen from his forceful entry into the Liang family that he was a man of great pride.

Bowing his head to others was something he should never do.

And everyone knew in their hearts that even if Ye Yuan lowered himself, the likelihood of the Wang family agreeing was almost zero.

For the sake of this girl Liang Wanru, Ye Yuan was willing to endure such humiliation!

"Ye Yuan, have you thought this through?" Manager Su said, visibly moved.

Ye Yuan, however, smiled magnanimously, "Miss Wanru suffered this ordeal because of me. She has a great life-saving grace toward me. Why would I hesitate to lose face? Even if there's only a glimmer of hope, I will try!"

Everyone was visibly moved. They hadn't expected Ye Yuan to be such a man of deep loyalty!

Elder Feng and Manager Su were both extremely shrewd. They had long noticed that Ye Yuan's gaze toward Liang Wanru held no lust, indicating he had no improper intentions toward her.

Thus, Ye Yuan was simply repaying a debt of gratitude!

At this moment, Ye Yuan felt a tug at his clothes. It was Liang Wanru pulling on them.

Looking down, he saw two clear streams of tears flowing down Liang Wanru's face.

Though she was very weak, her mind was still clear.

That Ye Yuan would endure such humiliation for her made her heart very heavy.

Ye Yuan smiled, "Miss Wanru, you need not be like this. I know what I'm doing. Rest assured, I will definitely save you!"

Liang Wanru nodded slightly, but her emotions were somewhat agitated.

...

"Brother, this time you must stand up for me! You have no idea how arrogant that brat surnamed Ye was back then. He didn't put our Wang family in his eyes at all..."

At the Wang residence, Wang Pianran was like a machine gun, slandering Ye Yuan in front of Wang Lingbo.

Wang Lingbo stood with his hands behind his back, quietly listening to his sister's complaints without making any comment.

He knew his sister's temperament well. Even if one-tenth of what she said was true, that would be good.

Moreover, the matter of the Liang family didn't require Wang Pianran to stir up trouble.

He already knew about it!

"Pianran, tell me honestly, what secret does that brat named Ye Yuan hold?" Wang Lingbo asked with a piercing gaze.

Wang Pianran choked at this, and her eyes began to dart around.

"Brother, you... what do you mean?"

Wang Lingbo laughed, "Pianran, 'marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog'—that's not wrong. But don't forget, who gave you your status in the Liang family? The Liang family can be cultivated, but... they also need to be kept in check! Do you think Liang Mingyu is so obedient to you just because you hold power?"

Wang Pianran was suddenly startled. She realized that her brother must have been pulling strings behind the scenes all these years.

Liang Mingyu was afraid of repercussions, which was why he fawned over her!

"Brother, I... I..."

With one sentence, Wang Lingbo had completely thrown Wang Pianran into disarray.

In terms of tactics, she was far too inferior!

"The more stable the Wang family's position in Guishan City, the more comfortable your life will be! Don't you agree?" Wang Lingbo said, still smiling.

Wang Pianran nodded woodenly.

"So, what secret does that brat hold?"
