Seeing the young man in a daze, Xiao Ling'er said again, "Your physical condition is very poor. Do you want to take this?"
The young man looked at the pill in Xiao Ling'er's hand and asked, "What kind of pill is this?"
Xiao Ling'er thought for a while and replied, "My mother said it can relieve your symptoms and help you hold on until she comes to save you."
Hearing this, the man directly took the pill from Xiao Ling'er's hand and popped it into his mouth. "Thank you."
Actually, he didn't believe that this pill could cure him.
In this city, only the pills from the pharmacy of this family could relieve or treat their symptoms.
So how could a pill taken out by a little girl cure his illness?
However, seeing Xiao Ling'er's earnest look, he didn't hesitate to take it.
Xiao Ling'er didn't know what the man was thinking.
She only knew that this person wouldn't die immediately.
Thinking of this, she was very happy.
The others who saw this scene thought the man was stupid.
He would take any pill given by anyone.
However, they also thought that even if he didn't take it, he was going to die anyway.
So what was the difference between taking it and not taking it?
With this thought in mind, the others just went about their own business.
The following men had been following Feng Yuqin and the others.
Seeing this scene, their faces were all filled with confusion.
"Do you think that pill can really relieve the symptoms?"
"I don't think so..." another man said uncertainly.
"The situation has been different recently. I think we'd better be more cautious."
"Then what should we do?"
"Go back and report to our master." one of the men said.
The men quickly turned around and left.
"Master, they've left." Xiao Ying's spiritual sense had been on those men. Seeing them leave, he immediately reported to Feng Yuqin.
"Okay. Keep following them and see where they're going." Feng Yuqin said.
"Yes, master." Xiao Ying replied.
Feng Yuqin then led Xiao Ling'er and the others to continue walking. Along the way, because of their high looks, they attracted a lot of attention.
They would also give a relief pill to those whose conditions were very poor.
Such a commotion quickly caught the attention of all major forces.
The first to approach Feng Yuqin was a noble family. They asked if Feng Yuqin was a doctor and if she had a way to deal with such diseases.
However, when they were asking Feng Yuqin, their attitudes were rather arrogant.
So Feng Yuqin ignored them.
This directly enraged the other party.
"We're showing you respect by asking you to see the patients. Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame us for being rude." A man waved his hand and directly ordered the guards to surround Feng Yuqin and the others.
"Is this the way you ask for medical treatment?" Feng Yuqin cast a cold glance at the man.
When the man met her gaze, he immediately felt as if a knife was being held to his neck.
"Xia Peng, what are you doing?" A man's voice sounded.
"Young Master Li, I heard that this woman's pills can relieve the patients' symptoms, so I wanted her to go to the Xia family to see the patients. But she refused." Xia Peng filed a false accusation against Feng Yuqin to Li Song.
Li Song was also the young city lord of this Li City.
Hearing this, Li Song turned to look at Feng Yuqin. When he saw her appearance, he was also stunned.
However, he quickly came to his senses. Then his eyes swept over Xiao Ling'er and the others. After that, he walked up to Feng Yuqin and politely greeted her, "Good day, Mrs. Mo."
Feng Yuqin raised her eyebrows. She knew that this man must have learned her identity from the city gate guards.
Li Song continued, "I've heard before that Mrs. Mo has been giving pills to the people in the city. My father wants to thank you and has specially sent me to invite you to the city lord's mansion as a guest."
"Young Master Li..." Xia Peng wanted to say something when he saw Li Song lowering his stance so much. But Li Song shot him a sharp look, and he immediately dared not say a word.
Feng Yuqin cast a disdainful glance at Xia Peng. Then her eyes fell on Li Song and she said, "Lead the way."
After arriving at the city lord's mansion, Li Song said, "Mrs. Mo, my father has gone to the neighboring city and is on his way back."
Li Song's attitude was very good. As soon as Feng Yuqin entered, he had already arranged for the butler of the mansion to serve the best dim sum and tea.
Xiao Ling'er's eyes lit up when she saw the food. "Mother, can I eat this?"
Feng Yuqin gave her little foodie daughter a helpless look and asked, "Didn't you just eat in the restaurant? Can your stomach still fit more?"
Xiao Ling'er giggled and said, "I can still fit more. I have a good appetite."
"Then you should eat less, or you'll feel uncomfortable later." Feng Yuqin said.
Xiao Ling'er nodded repeatedly. She sat down at the round table and unceremoniously picked up a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into her mouth.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao walked to Xiao Ling'er's side. One served her tea and the other wiped her mouth.
Seeing this scene, Li Song smiled and said, "The siblings have a very good relationship."
Feng Yuqin smiled. Looking at Li Song, she asked, "Just say what you want to say directly."
Li Song didn't expect Feng Yuqin to be so straightforward. He also didn't beat around the bush and directly explained the purpose of inviting Feng Yuqin, "Mrs. Mo, before I invited you, I had already sent people to inquire about you. The first person you gave the pill to was that young man in front of the pharmacy. His condition was quite serious. If it weren't for your pill, he would probably be a corpse by now."
Feng Yuqin cast a disdainful glance at Li Song. "Then why didn't you do anything?"
Li Song gave a bitter smile. "It's not that we didn't want to do anything, but we were powerless."
Feng Yuqin narrowed her eyes slightly. "What do you mean? Isn't that shop able to solve the problem? Why do you say you're powerless?"
"That shop is the pharmacy of the Pill Sect. All kinds of pills and medicinal herbs are controlled by the Pill Sect. Usually, we buy pills from the Pill Sect. So as long as they control the pills, we have no way out." Li Song said helplessly.
"As the city lord's mansion of this city, you're still being led by the nose by the Pill Sect?" Feng Yuqin was puzzled. "Or is there a more powerful force behind the Pill Sect that you can't afford to offend?"
Li Song nodded. "There's the Xing family backing the Pill Sect, so we're really powerless."
"So this plague incident was actually caused by the people of the Pill Sect poisoning everyone, right?" Feng Yuqin asked.
Li Song didn't expect her to be so straightforward. He hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "That's indeed the case. But many people think it's an infectious disease and don't know they've been poisoned."
"Others are causing trouble on your territory, and you can't do anything about it?" Feng Yuqin's words made a look of embarrassment flash across Li Song's face.
However, he also saw that Feng Yuqin didn't mean any harm, so he patiently explained, "The Pill Sect has a backer. Recently, I've heard that a very powerful young alchemist from the Xing family has come to help the Pill Sect. The purpose is to stop everyone from going to the secret realm."
