Chapter 58  : Meeting III

“...”

Mu Qing’er became more frightened. She almost burst into tears. If Feng Ruqing gave her a beating now, she would not be so scared but what Feng Ruqing had said just now made her terrified.

The others kneeled—their eyes displaying fear. They were afraid that they could never leave Paramount if the villain princess became angry.

Feng Ruqing’s eyebrows knitted even more tightly. “All of you stand up now!”

Nobody dared to move.

Feng Ruqing became even more furious. “If you don’t get up now, I’ll order the people to do it for you now.”

Those young masters and young mistresses only got up immediately after realizing that Feng Ruqing was getting angry.

It was only now that Feng Ruqing showed a satisfied smile. “You will only obey me after I threatened you. I came here today because I’m interested in your meetings. You don’t have to be nervous. I’m not a demon who will eat people.”

“...”

‘You are not a man-eating demon but you are much more terrifying than that.’

“Oh! That’s right.” Feng Ruqing tilted her head to one side, smiled and looked at the people in front of her. “What do you usually discuss in your meetings?”

Zhao Yang was the first to recover his senses. His face turned white and it was clear that Feng Ruqing had terrified him greatly.

“What we are talking about today is... medical skill.”

Medical skill?

Feng Ruqing stroked her chin. She was interested in this.

In fact, spirit herbs were a type of medical skill. The spirit herbs could help people elevate their cultivation and treat illnesses at the same time. However, not many had a chance to encounter them because spirit herbs starting from Grade-2 were more than expensive.

The medicine which commoners could afford to consume were regular herbs.

“What’s the topic at hand? Do share.” Feng Ruqing sat down and asked with interest.

All the people present were at a loss. They had never thought that Feng Ruqing would stay and discuss with them. What was more important was that she did not get angry after overhearing them criticizing her.

This was indeed the first in history.

They would surely be beaten up if this was back in the past and their families would surely be compromised too.

“We’re discussing ways to remove scars.”

War was unavoidable on the mainland and scars would surely be left behind. But, there was no one way to completely remove scars up until now.

“Scars?” Feng Ruqing’s eyes lit up.

She remembered that there was a herbal dish in the book of spirit herbs which could completely remove scars.

But, that was a herbal dish made from spirit herbs. Its effectiveness was unknown if regular medicine was used instead.

“We tried using and mixing dark plum, pearl powder, bitter ginseng, green fruit, pseudo-ginseng, and other herbs together to make an ointment. But that was futile as the scar did not even fade.”

Zhao Yang did not think that Feng Ruqing would be of help to them. In fact, he did not want to discuss it with her. But, Feng Ruqing had asked them and he did not have enough courage to not answer her. That was why he told her all about the things they had discussed.

Feng Ruqing was in shock. She looked at Zhao Yang and was stunned. These herbs... were all jumbled up. What a mess!

Moreover, she did not think that these young masters and young mistresses would be interested in medical skills.

“Why would you be so insistent in creating an ointment which can completely remove scars?”

Zhao Yang was stunned and stayed silent.

All the others looked at Feng Ruqing fearfully. Nobody dared to say a word.
