The poison of the Poison Feather Blood Prison had been neutralized, and Bian Suwen still couldn’t figure out how it happened. Wang Haoran’s explanation, although far-fetched, seemed plausible if the Old Medical Immortal was indeed still alive.

However, Bian Suwen was present when the Old Medical Immortal passed away.

Divine Doctor Xue interjected, “Master Aunt, I think it’s really possible. You know Master’s temperament. He might have faked his death to pass the position of the Valley Master of Medical Immortal Valley to you and then wandered the world.”

“Perhaps, this time, he returned and couldn’t help but secretly assist when he discovered the Poison Sect using forbidden poison!”

Seeing Divine Doctor Xue inadvertently assist him, Wang Haoran secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Hearing Divine Doctor Xue’s words, Bian Suwen was skeptical but began to ponder.

The Old Medical Immortal had a playful nature and often traveled, sometimes returning to the Medical Immortal Valley only once every three or four years. It was not unusual for him to fake his own death and leave everything behind.

After all, it had only been four years since the Old Medical Immortal’s supposed passing.

However, Bian Suwen would not fully believe it until she saw the Old Medical Immortal with her own eyes.

“This is ultimately just our speculation. The truth is still unknown,” Bian Suwen sighed.

Wang Haoran suggested, “We could write a letter to propose a temporary truce with the Poison Sect and see how they react. If they agree, it means the Poison Sect Ancestor has concerns, and the Old Medical Immortal is indeed alive. If they refuse and still want to deal with the Medical Immortal Valley, then our speculation is wrong.”

“That’s a good idea,” Bian Suwen’s eyes lit up, and she nodded in agreement.

This side was settled.

Seeing Bian Suwen’s reaction, Wang Haoran silently noted.

Now, he just needed to stabilize the situation with Shao Wanwan.

And to achieve that was quite simple.

After all, Shao Wanwan already regarded him as the Poison Sect’s ancestor.

Would she dare not listen to the ancestor?

However, Wang Haoran still needed to make another trip.

After Bian Suwen made her decision, she immediately wrote a letter and had Divine Doctor Xue deliver it.

Wang Haoran expressed that he was fine and wanted to return to school.

Bian Suwen was a bit worried, so she checked his pulse and found it to be true, naturally agreeing.

After leaving the hospital, Wang Haoran secretly followed Divine Doctor Xue.

…

At the Poison Sect’s base.

Shao Wanwan recounted everything that happened at the hospital to the Fifth Elder.

“You say the ancestor and the Little Medical Immortal were together, and they seemed quite close?” The Fifth Elder was very surprised upon hearing the news.

“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, and I have a feeling that the ancestor seems to be intentionally protecting Bian Suwen,” Shao Wanwan said, puzzled. “What is the ancestor thinking? It’s one thing not to deal with the people of the Medical Immortal Valley, but why help Bian Suwen?”

The Fifth Elder pondered for a while, his cloudy old eyes revealing a thoughtful light. After a long time, his wrinkled face showed a look of ecstasy:

“Brilliant, brilliant, the ancestor is truly brilliant!”

“What are you talking about, Fifth Elder?” Shao Wanwan asked, puzzled by his sudden excitement.

“The Poison Sect and the Medical Immortal Valley have been at odds since their founding, and the ancestor naturally hates the people of the Medical Immortal Valley. How could he help the Little Medical Immortal?” The Fifth Elder revealed a knowing expression and continued:

“The ancestor’s approach to the Little Medical Immortal is precisely to take revenge on the Medical Immortal Valley!”

Shao Wanwan questioned, “With the ancestor’s means, dealing with the Medical Immortal Valley would be easy. Why go through such trouble?”

The Fifth Elder’s eyes gleamed with wisdom, “That’s why you’re still too young. The ancestor’s actions are precisely his brilliance.”

“Think about it, if the Little Medical Immortal were to become pregnant, wouldn’t it be the biggest joke among the hidden sects? If the Old Medical Immortal were alive, he would probably be infuriated to death. Isn’t such revenge satisfying?”

Hearing the Fifth Elder’s explanation, Shao Wanwan suddenly understood and couldn’t help but praise:

“As expected of the ancestor, such a method of revenge is truly brilliant. It’s much more satisfying than directly destroying the Medical Immortal Valley!”

After expressing her admiration, she showed a look of fear, “The poison in Bian Suwen must have been secretly neutralized by the ancestor. I almost ruined the ancestor’s grand plan by rashly challenging Bian Suwen. I wonder how the ancestor will deal with me.”

“You’ll have to pray for yourself,” the Fifth Elder said helplessly, spreading his hands.

At this moment, a small underling from the Poison Sect came to report, “Saintess, Fifth Elder, someone from the Medical Immortal Valley is here.”

“Who is it? What do they want?” the Fifth Elder asked.

“The visitor claims to be surnamed Xue and says he’s here to deliver a letter,” the Poison Sect underling reported.

There weren’t many people in the Medical Immortal Valley, and upon hearing the name “Xue,” the Fifth Elder and Shao Wanwan immediately understood it was the renowned Yan Wangdi, Divine Doctor Xue.

“Bring him in,” the Fifth Elder instructed.

The underling obeyed and soon brought Divine Doctor Xue before the Fifth Elder and Shao Wanwan.

“This is a letter from our Valley Master, please take a look.” Although he was on the Poison Sect’s territory, Divine Doctor Xue remained neither humble nor arrogant.

Shao Wanwan took the letter from Divine Doctor Xue and examined it with the Fifth Elder.

The letter’s content was roughly that the recent duel ended in a draw, and for the next twenty years, the Poison Sect and the Medical Immortal Valley would temporarily coexist peacefully, recuperating and putting all grievances aside to be resolved twenty years later.

After reading the letter, Shao Wanwan and the Fifth Elder exchanged a glance, secretly sharing a look of joy.

This letter must have been written by their ancestor, persuading the Little Medical Immortal, Bian Suwen, to write it.

The ancestor’s intention was clear: the ancestor had a brilliant method of revenge, and the Poison Sect’s people should not act against the Medical Immortal Valley’s people for now, to avoid interfering with the ancestor’s plan.

Understanding the true intention behind the letter, Shao Wanwan, in her capacity as the Saintess, immediately replied, agreeing to Bian Suwen’s proposal.

Seeing this, Divine Doctor Xue was pleased and hurriedly took the letter back to report to Bian Suwen.

“Wasn’t my guess correct?” After Divine Doctor Xue left, the Fifth Elder smugly said to Shao Wanwan.

“Fifth Elder, your insight is indeed…” Shao Wanwan was about to lavish praise, but before she could finish, she noticed an additional person in the room out of nowhere.

This person wore a mask, obscuring their face.

However, Shao Wanwan recognized the figure and quickly knelt down, respectfully saying, “Greetings, Ancestor!”

The Fifth Elder was startled and followed suit, “Greetings, Ancestor!”

Wang Haoran wore a mask for a reason.

Shao Wanwan was young and probably hadn’t even seen the Poison Sect’s ancestor, so there was no issue in facing her, as she wouldn’t recognize him.

But Wang Haoran wasn’t sure if the more senior Fifth Elder in the Poison Sect would recognize the ancestor’s appearance, so he acted cautiously.
