Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Disgusted by Her Looks
Xie Mingyu happily took Ningwan home, feeling quite triumphant.
In his joy, he didn’t punish Wangyue, and even had Shangxue reward her with imported chocolates.
"Thank you, Young Master Xie." Wangyue’s little face was flushed with happiness.
Xie Mingyu noticed that Ningwan hadn’t followed and quickly asked, "Where is Ningwan?"
"Miss Ye returned to her own place," Shangxue immediately replied.
Xie Mingyu furrowed his brow again.
This Ningwan, really doesn’t want to spend even a moment with me.
He was just about to go to the other courtyard to find her.
Old Sir Xie came over, blocking his path, and asked with a smile, "Yu’er, you saw many noble ladies today, did you find any suitable girls?"
"No, Grandpa, you know who I’m satisfied with," Xie Mingyu said.
Old Sir Xie said repeatedly, "Of course, Grandpa knows, which of your matters hasn’t Grandpa kept in his heart? But doesn’t she not want it? Forced love is not sweet, besides, our family Yu’er is so wonderful, what kind wouldn’t he get, why like someone who doesn’t like you."
"I just like her, whether it’s sweet or not, I’ll know after a bite," Xie Mingyu said stubbornly.
Old Sir Xie had nothing to say, he just sighed again, "Your elder aunt called, hoping you’d interact more with Qiao Yiyuan. Your elder aunt cares so much for you, do you want to grant her a face?"
"What, has the Xie Family fallen to the point where we need to send me away for an arranged marriage?" Xie Mingyu sarcastically asked.
Old Sir Xie’s face immediately turned red, huffing and puffing as he said, "Impossible, our Xie Family is at its peak, why would we fall. Even if we did fall, whoever we send for a marriage alliance, you wouldn’t be sent. You’re Grandpa’s precious treasure, how could Grandpa bear that."
"Since that’s the case, why should I interact with that Qiao Yiyuan? She’s ugly as hell, I don’t like her."
With that, Xie Mingyu left arrogantly.
Old Sir Xie sighed, he couldn’t do anything with this precious darling.
However, who told that girl to be so ugly, not catching his precious grandson’s eye.
So it’s not his Yu’er’s fault, it’s her own fault.

"Sis, is Zhan Hanjue poisoned? What kind of poison, is it serious?"
Ye Shao followed Ningwan back to the other courtyard, asking curiously along the way.
Ningwan said, "Don’t you dislike him, why care about his safety?"
Ye Shao replied, "Because you like him, if he dies, you’d be very sad, so I’m just asking."
Ningwan sighed, "This poison won’t kill him immediately, but it’s not easy to cure either. I’ll have to stay up late tonight to make medicine, you should rest early."
"I’ll keep you company," Ye Shao immediately said.
Ningwan shook her head, "No need, you should sleep early, this is the time you should be growing. You’re already eighteen, not even 1.73 meters tall yet, it’ll be trouble if you don’t grow more."
Ye Shao: "..."
"I’ve grown a lot recently, I was malnourished before. Now that I’m eating well, I’ll grow," he muttered discontentedly.
Ningwan laughed and said, "Yes, yes, you’ll grow. Don’t forget the supplements I gave you, eat them early and go to bed. Genetics is one part, but environmental factors are important too. The medicine I gave you is just to help, exercise and sleep are most important. So go to bed early, don’t delay me."
Seeing her insistence, Ye Shao had no choice but to rest first.
Ningwan gathered many herbs and began compounding and refining medicine.
Regarding Chasing Silk, she had only read about it in books, this was the first time she’d encountered it.
Thinking of someone, she immediately took out her phone and checked the group chat.
Sure enough, someone replied when she asked for the Bai Family’s contact in the group.
This group was called the Holy Doctor Sect.
The Holy Doctor Sect’s token was lost, and without it, she couldn’t inherit the position of Sect Leader.
However, some people who had supported her master had joined the chat, keeping in touch with their faction.
The one who answered her was Tan Ying, considered a junior disciple.
Ningwan immediately privately messaged Tan Ying, asking which member of the Bai Family he knew.
"Senior Bai Zhi, I know Bai Wenjing from the Bai Family; he’s from a direct line. If you want to ask something, you can find him. He’s currently doing business in He City, I’ll give you his contact number."
"Great, thanks, Junior Brother Tan Ying," Ningwan replied.
Tan Ying sent over a blushing emoji.
A moment later, he sent another message, "Senior Bai Zhi, when are you going to revive the Holy Doctor Sect? We’re all waiting for your good news."
Seeing this message, Ningwan felt somewhat guilty.
She could only reply, "I’m working hard to find the token, once I find it, I’ll definitely revive the Holy Doctor Sect."
Tan Ying sent a happy emoji.
Ningwan quickly dialed the number Tan Ying gave her to call Bai Wenjing.
"Hello."
"Hi, I’m Bai Zhi," Ningwan introduced herself.
The other party was surprised, "The disciple of Sect Leader Zisu? Hello, what can I do for you?" Bai Wenjing asked.
Ningwan said, "The Chasing Silk has reappeared, does Mr. Bai know about this?"
"Impossible," Bai Wenjing flatly denied, "Chasing Silk was completely destroyed over a decade ago. The formula was also destroyed, it can’t be recreated."
"If Mr. Bai doesn’t believe it, you can come to Tong City, I have a patient here poisoned by Chasing Silk."
"Alright, I’ll come over early tomorrow. It’s impossible it’s Chasing Silk, absolutely impossible," Bai Wenjing insisted.
Ningwan didn’t argue with him about it, he could see for himself once he arrived.
After hanging up, Ningwan continued her research on the medicine.
The poison of Chasing Silk is difficult to remedy, partly because one of its toxic ingredients is self-made.
Without knowing this ingredient, it’s impossible to concoct an antidote.
Meaning only the person who compounded the poison can detoxify it.
Although Ningwan couldn’t create an antidote, she could make a detox pill to suppress the poison, at least preventing Zhan Hanjue from suffering too much and delaying the onset.
When the poison is inactive, he’s no different from an ordinary person.
After spending the whole night, Ningwan finally mixed the medicine.
She planned to take it to the hotel early to give to Zhan Hanjue.
Who knew, when she went out to stretch, she’d encounter Qiao Yichi.
Ningwan didn’t want any more trouble and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Yichi came specifically to meet her.
Now that they met, how could he let her go easily?
"Miss Ye, wait."
Qiao Yichi walked over and even tried to place his hand on Ningwan’s shoulder.
Of course, Ningwan wouldn’t let him, swiftly dodging.
"Speak if you want to talk, keep your hands to yourself, or do you not want them?" Ningwan coldly warned.
Qiao Yichi, unable to take advantage, showed an embarrassed smile.
"Miss Ye, don’t be so angry. You don’t treat Xie Mingyu this way, I’m better than him, right!"
As he spoke, Qiao Yichi winked at Ningwan, implying something more.
