Bai Jiao was stunned. Although she cared deeply and was impulsive, deep inside, Bai Jiao's rational mind also acknowledged the diagnosis of Hu the Divine Doctor and his colleagues. However, Shen Qiang was an all-powerful lifesaver in her heart, which was why Bai Jiao had placed all her hope on him.

At this moment, hearing these words from the famous doctors of the Cultivation World, Bai Jiao couldn't help but look anxiously towards Shen Qiang.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qiang smiled at this moment. He looked at Hu the Divine Doctor indifferently and said, "I recognize you. You were at Bai Jiao's elixir auction. I don't quite remember the specifics, but I know you were very discontent with me."

Shen Qiang, with a smile raising his eyebrows, gave Bai Jiao a look that told her to be at ease and then said proudly, "I wouldn't make a move, and you wouldn't believe that there is such a thing as Divine Grade Pei Yuan Pills in this world. Now it's the same, I haven't lifted a finger to save someone, and you presumptuously think I'm a fraud."

"But I'd advise you to shut your mouth," said Shen Qiang coldly, standing up and looking seriously at Hu the Divine Doctor. "Do not mistake your ignorance for the truth. What you need to do now is take good care of the old madam and last until this time tomorrow. I guarantee that I will have her bouncing back to life like a vigorous dragon."

"Nonsense!" Hu the Divine Doctor retorted, "Those Divine Grade Pei Yuan Pills were just a gift from your master, and you, a prodigal son, sold them for money. So you, Shen Qiang, might have some fame in the Cultivation World, but in my eyes, you are nothing but scum."

The other doctors laughed as well, "Still daring to mention Pei Yuan Pills, doesn't everyone in the Cultivation World know that you, Shen Qiang, have squandered your family's wealth? To think you would dare sell such an unparalleled treasure like the Divine Grade Pei Yuan Pill. I really don't know what else you wouldn't do."

"Such a pill could change the fate of a cultivator! Yet, haha, you sold it for money."

Listening to their mockery,

Shen Qiang smiled slightly.

Internally, he thought that the Pei Yuan Pills were only casually refined by him according to the Medical Saint Inheritance. If it weren't for the fact that he urgently needed to cultivate recently, he would have produced an abundance of those worthless things. The only options were to exchange them for money or give them as gifts.

How precious indeed!

Haha, when Shen Qiang was challenging the Nascent Soul Stage, he was consuming one daily.

If selling a few made them react like this, wouldn't they be driven to beat their chests in regret and possibly even take their own lives if they knew the truth?

Thinking this, Shen Qiang smiled, "Oh, is that what you think? Then you should realize that if I can produce Divine Grade Pei Yuan Pills that you have never seen before, I can also produce other elixir pills that will surpass your expectations. So do as I said, take good care of the old madam, and by this time tomorrow, I will have her sitting in the living room sharing tea with you."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Hu the Divine Doctor snorted, "No matter how loud you boast, if you can't deliver, it's nothing but a joke. You, Shen Qiang, talk big, don't you? Fine then, we will see the outcome tomorrow."

Having said that, without paying further attention to Shen Qiang, Hu the Divine Doctor directed his gaze at Bai Jiao and said in a cold voice, "Miss Bai, I am your father's close friend, so please trust me. This Shen Qiang absolutely lacks the ability to cure the old madam. So don't harbor too much hope."

Glancing at Shen Qiang, Hu the Divine Doctor continued, "Moreover, if by this time tomorrow Shen Qiang fails to do everything he claims he can, I demand you immediately dismiss him. Where I am, there is no place for quacks."

Shen Qiang smiled, "Very well, the same principle applies. Tomorrow, if I cure the old madam, the next time you see me, make sure to keep your distance, because in Shen Qiang's presence, there is also no place for quacks."

"Just wait and see!"

Hu the Divine Doctor's face was grim.

At this moment, Bai Jiao, somewhat at a loss, caught sight of her father standing quietly under the corridor on the opposite side of the window. After hesitating for a second, she said to Shen Qiang, "Shen Qiang, since it's like this, let's let grandma rest well, and we can go for a walk outside."

Shen Qiang nodded, smiling, and agreed with a "fine."

As the two of them left the old madam's room, Bai Jiao's original intention was to introduce Shen Qiang to her father.

However, when Bai Jiao emerged from the room with Shen Qiang, she was surprised to see that her father, who had been standing quietly in the corridor, had disappeared.

Bai Jiao's heart sank.

She knew that this was her father showing he didn't want to see Shen Qiang.

It made her feel somewhat wronged.

After all, it was she who had brought Shen Qiang, and moreover, he was here to save her grandmother. By both sentiment and reason, her father should meet Shen Qiang, even if he was the superior patriarch of a prestigious family, he shouldn't be so rude.

But upon further thought,

Bai Jiao couldn't help but sigh.

Because she understood that recently, it was Divine Doctor Hu who had been treating her grandmother. At this time, with Shen Qiang's arrival, if her father acted affectionately toward Shen Qiang, then Divine Doctor Hu and his people might never come to treat the Bai Family's illnesses again.

So Bai Jiao, forcing a smile, wiped away her tears, then stood in front of Shen Qiang with a playful manner, saying, "Shen Qiang, are you hungry?"

"I've eaten on the plane."

Hearing Shen Qiang's reply, Bai Jiao said with a smile, "Then how about I take you for a walk?"

Shen Qiang said with a smile, "Sure, but Xiu Ju..."

"It's no problem," Bai Jiao stretched out her soft, warm hand, took Shen Qiang's, and walked outside, giggling, "There's someone brewing tea for her now, there are snacks, and there's wifi; she won't be bored."

Watching Shen Qiang, who was pulling him outside with a laughing face, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

But his gaze seemed inadvertently to glance at the spot where Bai Jiao's father had stood before.

A twenty-mile Divine Sense.

It would be really hard not to notice something.

In the cold rain,

Shen Qiang held the oil-paper umbrella passed to him by Bai Jiao.

The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder, reaching outside the ancestral house of the Bai Family.

Only then did Shen Qiang realize that alongside the Bai Family's property, there was a riverbank path.

The French parasol trees planted on the inside of the path had already shed a carpet of golden leaves.

Walking side by side on the path, Bai Jiao, who seemed to be absorbed in her thoughts, subconsciously took Shen Qiang's arm. Feeling the threads of warmth emanating from Bai Jiao's body, sniffing the faint scent of her, he took off his suit and draped it over Bai Jiao like a coat.

Shen Qiang, holding the umbrella, stopped by the riverbank path, quietly watching the clear river water.

Bai Jiao lifted her head to look at Shen Qiang's side profile, feeling the warmth from Shen Qiang's clothes, and the inexplicable sense of safety his presence gave her, which led her to take his arm once again.

And this time,

Not only did she lean in close, clearly feeling their breaths and heartbeats sync, but an unbidden blush also rose on her sweet and playful face.
