"What the hell is going on here? Why are we suddenly talking about business!"

Upon hearing Su Ao directly offer a price, Jun Feng was left speechless...

Because according to the script, the plot wasn't supposed to develop like this...

"Is he really crazy?"

While silently criticizing Su Ao, Jun Feng turned his head to look at the stone table with the herbs on it...

In that instant, Jun Feng also saw those absolutely perfect herbs.

After seeing them, Jun Feng finally understood why Su Ao was acting so crazily.

Understanding this, Jun Feng turned his head and stared intently at Hu Xiaobei not far away...

...

"Damn it! Some people really have shit luck to own such perfect, priceless herbs!"

Thinking about their truly priceless value, Jun Feng was burning with jealousy.

Jun Feng considered himself to come from a well-off family!

But even so, he couldn't just come up with millions at once.

So, now hearing that Su Ao was willing to offer millions, he was trembling with jealousy.

Glancing at Su Ao and the twisted expression on Jun Feng's face, Hu Xiaobei spoke calmly, without hesitation: "Give up, even if you offer a billion, I have absolutely no interest, because I need to use them."

Understanding Hu Xiaobei's meaning, Su Ao widened his eyes and shouted hysterically, "You're... are you out of your mind! The patient is clearly beyond saving now, and using these herbs is completely pointless. Given the situation, you still want to use them?"

Su Ao really thought Hu Xiaobei was crazy...

In his view, the woman was beyond saving, so it really wasn't worth using these herbs to treat her!

And even if, by some miracle, she could be cured, it wasn't worth saving her because these herbs are just too precious, so using them on her would be a complete waste.

Originally having no fondness for him, Hu Xiaobei completely lost interest in him after hearing his nonsense, "Pointless? Forget it, I don't want to cast pearls before swine, just get lost!"

"Casting pearls before swine? Are you calling me a swine? Fine! I accept that! Now tell me, do you really have the confidence to use these absolutely precious herbs to ensure her recovery?"

"Of course! I'm absolutely confident."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's confident words, he sneered coldly, "You're full of it! Even I don't have absolute confidence with this illness, and you say you're absolutely confident? Who do you think you are!"

"I'm Hu Xiaobei! I believe you'll remember my name in the future, now just get out of my way."

"Fine! Fine! Fine! I'll step aside, and I'll watch carefully to see how you'll end up today!"

Screaming wildly, he retreated a few steps with a gloomy face.

Standing beside him, Jun Feng also quickly stepped back as he saw Su Ao retreat.

Hu Xiaobei saw them retreat tactfully and turned his gaze back to the herbs on the stone table.

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei heard Ling'er's mom speak up nervously, "Xiaobei, are these herbs really priceless? If that's the case, then don't use them on me!"

"Exactly!"

Qu Lei, who hadn't spoken, quickly chimed in...

They weren't the type to take advantage, so knowing their priceless value, they really wanted to forgo the treatment.

Hearing their hesitant words, a faint smile appeared on Hu Xiaobei's lips, and he said softly, "Indeed, if sold, they might be priceless, but that's not important, because even if they're priceless, they're not more important than your life."

"But..."

...

As her mom prepared to say something, Qu Linger, standing beside Hu Xiaobei, softly bit her red, supple lip and said quietly, "Dad, mom, please don't refuse anymore. We're all family, refusing like this really seems distant!"

At this moment, she directly revealed her relationship with Hu Xiaobei!

To be honest, Qu Linger didn't want to reveal her relationship with Hu Xiaobei so early.

But now, not revealing it was truly no longer an option...

Because if she didn't reveal it, her mom really wasn't planning to accept Hu Xiaobei's treatment.

"What?"

Hearing Qu Linger's shy words, they widened their eyes...

Previously, they had noticed that Hu Xiaobei and Qu Linger were fond of each other.

But they didn't expect their relationship to be confirmed so quickly.

Seeing their astonished expressions, Qu Linger said shyly, "Alright, let's focus on the treatment for now. We can talk about other things after it ends."

"Okay!"

They exchanged glances and immediately agreed.

Previously, they had concerns, but now, they had none.

Seeing she had no more concerns, Hu Xiaobei smiled gently and earnestly began to prepare all the herbs.

In the distance, the expression on Su Ao's face twisted as his eyes twitched uncontrollably...

"Such wastefulness, it really is such a waste!"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei start to handle those precious herbs, he went crazy.

He knew that these herbs were most valuable when kept in their original state, and now that they were being processed, their price would drastically drop.

"Divine Doctor Su, that Hu Xiaobei is truly wasting them, shouldn't we stop him?"

After knowing that the herbs Hu Xiaobei was now dealing with were worth millions, he was also somewhat frantic.

He really wanted to grab them all because if he did, the money would be his.

Hearing Jun Feng speak up a little gloomily, Su Ao squinted his eyes and snarled impatiently, "Stop him? If I could, I'd want to stop him too, but that fool's stubborn as a mule!"

"So we're just going to wait here?"

"Yes! We'll just wait and watch the show! Although these herbs are quite aged, they're still useless!"

"That's good, that's good!"

Sighing with some relief, he narrowed his eyes coldly...

In his view, nothing else really mattered, as long as Hu Xiaobei ended up in disgrace, everything would be just fine...

...

After preparing all the herbs, Hu Xiaobei began to get ready to brew the medicine...

"Xiaobei, can I help you?"

"I better do it myself!"

Hu Xiaobei chuckled softly...

He wanted to do it himself because he was worried that Qu Linger might mess up the temperature control.

Hu Xiaobei knew that the most important aspect of brewing the medicine this time was the control of the heat.

"Alright!"

Knowing she wasn't skilled in this, Qu Linger didn't say anything further and just stood quietly behind Hu Xiaobei.

Hu Xiaobei took a deep breath, brought over some stones, and built a simple stove, then put all the herbs into a sandpot he had prepared.

After gently shaking it, Hu Xiaobei placed the sand pot on the stove and started a fire.

Just as the fire began to blaze, Hu Xiaobei heard a cold mocking voice in his ear, "Hu Xiaobei, you're such an idiot! Brewing medicine in such a noisy place, don't you know that the biggest taboo in brewing medicine is being disturbed?"

"Don't equate me with trash like you, I'm not afraid of being disturbed!"

With a mocking grin, Hu Xiaobei continued to add firewood, and with his actions, the deep blue flames enveloped the sand pot filled with herbs...

Seeing this scene, Hu Xiaobei's eyes lit up, and in the next moment, he continued to cautiously add firewood, maintaining the stability of the flame...
