Chapter 33: Fire Venom (3) Si Bai chuckled and said: “Relax bro .
Didn’t I get better over the past few days?
” Si Ye sized him up from head to toe .
Although Si Bai’s pallor was still quite apparent, his breathing had become less constricted than before .
“Grandpa mentioned, Ye Qingtang’s the one who provided the prescriptions?
” “Yup .
” Si Ye gave a condescending sneer despite Si Bai’s assurance .
“That could only mean she just happened to know the right prescription, but medical expertise’s not all about being affluent in prescriptions and theories .
” Si Bai could tell that his brother’s judgment was clouded by his entrenched hatred towards the Ye household and decided to rest his case .
After the two watched the doors for some time and perceived no commotion from within, they proceeded over to Si Qiong’s room .
When Si Qiong was wounded by an Ifrit, Si Ye could only watch in vain as he bore witness to him being poisoned by its venom .
One could only imagine the remorse and rage Si Ye had to endure over his own incompetence in protecting his brother .
“Dr .
Xu, how much longer can he hold out?
” Si Ye was clearly distressed at Si Qiong’s critical condition, once he saw him bedridden, with a pain-stricken and sunburned face .
Dr .
Xu looked rather despondent as he broke the news: “To be frank, three days at the most .
Without any suppressants however, I’m afraid… .
It won’t be much longer .
” The news.
.
hit both Si Ye and Si Bai like a ton of bricks .
“Dr .
Xu, will Irift’s scales be effective if they are used as the suppressants?
” Si Bai asked, in hope of clearing any doubt .
Dr .
Xu wore a bitter smile as he nodded, “That might be effective but but unfortunately, I’ve yet to see anyone succeed .
To accomplish that would require the scales to be broken down into powder suitable as additives .
No amount of effort will be enough to grind those scales as hard as boulders .
” When Si Ye heard the explanation, he threw a reproachful glance at Si Bai .
Si Bai could definitely figure out his brother’s intended message, but he would rather not make any further comments .
Whether Ye Qingtang was capable of achieving that remained to be seen .
“Lord Si Bai, is there a reason behind that question?
” Dr Xu asked .
Before Si Bai could answer his query, Si Ye, who had obviously tolerated for too long, spoke contemptuously: “Some lady from the Ye household just claimed she’s able to use those scales as suppressants .
” Dr .
Xu was stunned for a moment once he heard that claim, and just when Si Ye was Ye was expecting him to criticize Ye Qingtang for her arrogance, Dr .
Xu heaved a sigh of relief instead .
“Well, if it’s Miss Ye, she might know a way .
” Dr .
Xu clearly expressed his trust in Ye Qingtang’s abilities .
“… .
” Si Ye could never expect a prestigious physician like him to agree with Ye Qingtang’s outlandish ways .
Si Bai could only watch without a word, and sigh at his brother sulking over his unexpected defeat .
Ye Qingtang had dropped by the Si household these few days and the times when Dr .
Xu consulted her on medical practices could be considered aplenty .
Anyone could tell that Dr .
Xu was completely enamored by her medical expertise .
While everyone waited anxiously, Ye Qingtang finally showed up at the door to Si Qiong’s room under the guidance of an attendant .
She held a small porcelain bottle small porcelain bottle in her hands .
“Miss Ye, it’s a pleasure to see you again .
” Dr .
Xu greeted her in an amicable manner once she stepped into the room .
Ye Qingtang gave a subtle nod and while avoiding Si Ye’s piercing gaze almost instinctively, she approached the bedridden Si Qiong directly .
Si Qiong had fallen unconscious after desperately enduring the sweltering pain induced by the Fire Venom afflicting his body .
“How’s he faring so far?
” Ye Qingtang inquired from Dr Xu .
Dr .
Xu could only shake his head at the threatening situation .
Ye Qingtang examined Si Qiong’s condition and noticed fresh blood oozing from the bandages around his wound on the left side of his chest .
She adjusted her sleeves in the next instant and made a request to Dr .
Xu, who stood by the side: “I’ll require your assistance, Dr Xu, in removing these bandages .
