But Ling Zhenfei never expected that this mask would frighten the kid like this; truly, it's a result of a guilty conscience from doing too many wrongs.

This was just a small disturbance, but it also shows a person's character. This person's purpose should be to find ambergris, which indicates that there really is a problem with this fragrance.

If someone really took this fragrance away, it would be difficult to find evidence of Min Xiang's poisoning.

Yet this person did not find the ambergris and even thought about scaring Min Xiang to death, how wicked!

If the one scared last night had been Min Xiang, she really might have been frightened to death, because Min Xiang was already gravely ill; a fright could really kill her directly.

After resting for one night, early the next morning, Ling Zhenfei once again carried Min Xiang back to her original room.

Due to a prolonged severe illness, Min Xiang's body is very weak and emaciated. Ling Zhenfei estimated that Min Xiang's current weight was just over eighty pounds.

For someone as tall as Min Xiang, over eighty pounds is just too thin.

Ling Zhenfei gave Min Xiang two elixirs to take, then began to treat her.

The toxins in Min Xiang's body were all attached to her meridians and were not very easy to clear, but the poison in Watanabe Kazushi's body had been there for more than ten years, and Ling Zhenfei was able to force it out, so the toxins in Min Xiang's body were nothing from Ling Zhenfei's perspective.

Ling Zhenfei infused his Northern Spiritual Energy into Min Xiang's body, using his own body to drive all the toxins in Min Xiang's body towards one place,

finally forcing the toxins directly out through the pores in her skin. Ling Zhenfei's current power had already reached the Realm of Reaching Wisdom, far surpassing Zhiyi Boundary.

After forcing all the toxins out of Min Xiang's body, Ling Zhenfei was finally relieved. He also gave Min Xiang some spiritual medicine, leaving a trace of Northern Spiritual Energy in her body to nourish her damaged meridians.

Although the toxins in Min Xiang's body had been expelled, the meridians eroded by the toxins were all damaged, and complete recovery was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

Furthermore, the toxins that had penetrated deep into her bones weren't so easy to clear; he could only clear the toxins attached to the meridians.

Toxins that had penetrated the bone marrow should theoretically be impossible to remove and could only be gradually healed with Northern Spiritual Energy nourishment.

Ling Zhenfei said to Min Xiang, "How do you feel?"

Min Xiang said, "I feel quite well."

After taking the Qi Replenishing Pill and other spiritual medicine, Min Xiang's mental state improved a lot, and she could speak with some volume.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Do you know how you were poisoned?"

Min Xiang was slightly surprised, "Poisoned? How could this be poisoning?"

Ling Zhenfei replied, "You were indeed poisoned, not sick. Didn't you feel it?"

Min Xiang shook her head, "No, I just felt my body was getting weaker day by day. So it was poisoning. Then who poisoned me?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "You're smart, you should be able to figure it out."

"Was it the Min family?" Min Xiang asked in slight disbelief.

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Certainly. Otherwise, who else could a girl like you in her twenties offend? Of course, it's the Min family."

Min Xiang, unable to believe it, said, "But why would they harm me? Technically, I'm also part of their family."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You see them as family, but they might not see it that way."

"Why is that? What did I do wrong?" Min Xiang's expression turned slightly agitated.

"Do you not understand the principle that having a treasure is a crime? Because you're Minhang's daughter, it makes you guilty. If Minhang grows old, you will certainly have a share when dividing the family inheritance. Do you think you're guilty, then?"

Min Xiang nodded, "I understand. If I had known this would be the outcome, I wouldn't have come here. What's the point?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "And do you know why I moved you to the other room yesterday? What do you think?"

Min Xiang laughed and said, "I thought you were a pervert wanting to sleep in my bed."

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "However, if you had slept here last night, I reckon you would now be a dead person."

Min Xiang asked in shock, "What do you mean?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Someone came into your room last night, and that person wanted to kill you."

Min Xiang was slightly afraid, her face showing an expression of terror.

"How could someone poison me and also want to take my life?"

As she spoke, Min Xiang started to cry; Ling Zhenfei didn't expect such a strong person to cry.

Ling Zhenfei comforted her, saying, "Alright, don't cry, it's all over now anyway."

Min Xiang said, "I'm not crying about that, I'm crying about my miserable fate. How does everything happen to me? I didn't have a father from childhood; it was just my mother raising me alone.

Before my mother died, she told me I had a father, and then I came here and met him. My father treated me very well, but I didn't expect them to want to harm me. What did I ever do to deserve this?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "I hadn't thought it through about whether to tell you or not. If I had known it would turn out this way, I would have chosen not to tell you. Perhaps it was better to let you live in a world of harmless illusions."

Min Xiang said, "No, I should thank you for letting me see the world as it is and for letting me know that I don't belong here."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I have removed the toxins from your body, but since they had been present for such a long time, causing harm to your body, further treatment is necessary."

Min Xiang looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Will you continue helping me with the treatment later?"

Ling Zhenfei was slightly stunned and said, "Of course. Whenever I come to Modu, I will help you with the treatment. But I will leave tomorrow and might need some time before I return."

Min Xiang said, "Then I will go with you. I don't want to stay in this place anymore; if I do, who knows when I might die."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback. To be honest, he didn't want to take Min Xiang with him. Having just met her, it wouldn't be proper to take her away like this.

Ling Zhenfei said, "But your body is very weak now, and not suited for travel."

At this point, Min Xiang suddenly grabbed onto Ling Zhenfei, who was taken by surprise. Min Xiang said, "Please, take me away. Otherwise, my father won't let me leave. You just need to find an excuse to take me out."

"But after taking you out, can I just leave you on the streets? You should stay here; I will explain everything to Elder Min." Ling Zhenfei still felt it wasn't the right choice.
