CHAPTER 302: CHAPTER 302: AS SHE EXPECTED

Feng Jiuzun casually tossed the Jade Pendant in front of Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue, saying, "If you must have it, then take it. It’s not a big deal."

"Is this what Li Qingqing wants?" Ningwan looked at the Jade Pendant and sneered.

Feng Jiuzun replied, "Yes, I don’t know why she wants it. I bought it from a friend, and when she found out, she contacted me and offered to buy it back at double the price. Seeing how important it was to her, I didn’t sell it right away. She got anxious and raised the price even more. So, I used it as leverage in our business negotiations. But I really don’t know why she wants it. If you want to know, you can ask her yourselves."

"Feng Jiuzun, we’ve dealt with each other more than once, do you really think I’d believe you?" Ningwan questioned with a sneer.

Feng Jiuzun replied with a flushed face, "Ningwan, you know how I’ve always been with you. I would never lie to you. How can you not believe me?"

"Enough with the moral blackmail, with your face turning red. I somehow feel like you’re just angry and embarrassed," Ningwan retorted.

Feng Huai stepped forward and said, "Since you don’t believe him, you should at least specify what it is. Otherwise, you’re just causing trouble without reason, and although I don’t like this kid much, I can’t let you bully him like this."

Zhan Hanjue stated, "Well, it’s definitely not this thing."

"I only have this. Believe it or not, there’s nothing I can do if you don’t."

"Zun, is it really this?" Feng Huai asked, pretending.

"Uncle, if you don’t believe me, why not send me to prison and let me serve time? Then you can issue a statement disowning me as an unfilial son, ensuring that the Feng Family won’t be implicated."

"Look, the kid has already said this much, it must be this. Did you mistake something? Misunderstand Zun?" Feng Huai reasoned.

Ningwan noticed Feng Huai and Feng Jiuzun were playing tag-team and refused to tell the truth, prompting her to take the last step and directly say, "I know exactly what Li Qingqing wants. Isn’t it the sacred token of our Holy Doctor Sect? If it weren’t for this, how could Li Qingqing be at Feng Jiuzun’s mercy? So, Feng Jiuzun, hand over the item! It’s the sacred token of our Holy Doctor Sect; it’s useless to you. Although Li Qingqing may still speak kindly to you now, once really provoked, who knows what she’d do when angry."

...

The faces of Feng Jiuzun and Feng Huai turned ugly, not expecting Ningwan to actually know what it was.

Feng Huai, sly and crafty as ever, saw that the truth was exposed and that deceiving wouldn’t work.

His face immediately darkened, scolding Feng Jiuzun, "Zun, is it or isn’t it the sacred token? If it is, quickly hand it over. It’s useless for you to keep it; it’s just inviting trouble for no reason."

"No, it’s mine. Why should I give it to them?" Feng Jiuzun retorted.

As expected.

Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue exchanged a glance, confirming it was indeed the sacred token of the Holy Doctor Sect.

Zhan Hanjue said coldly, "Feng Jiuzun, are you really planning to go to jail and still refuse to hand it over?"

Feng Huai forced a smile and tried to smooth things over, "Mr. Zhan, don’t get so worked up. Let’s talk this over slowly."

Ningwan coldly said, "There’s nothing to discuss. This item belongs to our Holy Doctor Sect. My master was the former sect leader. Before passing, he instructed me to retrieve the sacred token, no matter what, to rebuild the Holy Doctor Sect and continue healing the world. I’ve been searching for it for a long time. I don’t know how it ended up in your hands, but I will definitely take it back."

"So you want it too? Why didn’t you say so sooner?" Feng Jiuzun asked in surprise.

Ningwan replied, "I didn’t know it was in your hands. I’m saying it now; give it to me."

"I can give it to you, but you must agree to one condition of mine," Feng Jiuzun stated.

"No way," Zhan Hanjue flatly refused.

Feng Jiuzun said angrily, "You don’t even know what it is and you’re rejecting it? Besides, I’m making a deal with Ningwan, not you. Why are you deciding for her?"

"Because I’m her man," Zhan Hanjue answered coldly.

Feng Jiuzun scoffed, "She could have plenty of other men willing to be with her."

"Enough arguing, what’s your condition?" Ningwan asked.

Zhan Hanjue furrowed his brows.

Ningwan whispered to him, "I know what I’m doing, let’s hear his condition first."

If it’s not too troublesome, we might as well agree.

Finally having a clue to the sacred token, she wanted to reclaim it as soon as possible.

"I haven’t thought of my condition yet. I’ll let you know when I do," Feng Jiuzun audaciously said.

Ningwan was also furious, "Feng Jiuzun, I’m not joking with you. This item is very important to me. If you can’t return it, don’t blame me for being harsh."

"If you have the guts, kill me, and you’ll never find this item for the rest of your life," Feng Jiuzun retorted, tilting his head defiantly.

Ningwan was so angry she ground her teeth.

At this moment, a butler suddenly rushed in urgently to report to Feng Huai, "Mr. Feng, bad news, the old master has suddenly collapsed."

Feng Huai was startled and panicked, "Hurry, call a doctor."

He no longer worried about Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue, rushing towards the backyard in haste.

Hearing his grandfather collapsed, Feng Jiuzun was also urgently alarmed and quickly followed his uncle.

Old Master Feng was getting old and had been in poor health for some time, always needing medication. But for some reason, he suddenly collapsed today. The household staff were terrified and scrambled to notify the family doctor while also alerting Feng Huai.

Ningwan glanced at Zhan Hanjue and softly said, "Let’s go too and take a look."

Zhan Hanjue nodded.

The backyard was already in chaos.

The collapse of Old Master Feng was different from his previous collapses.

He used to simply faint.

But this time, he fainted with convulsions and foamed at the mouth, as if poisoned.

The servants dared not move him, waiting for the doctor to arrive.

Their family doctor lived nearby and arrived quickly.

But upon seeing the situation, he was at a loss and hurriedly advised Feng Huai, "Mr. Feng, better send him to the hospital quickly for some scans."

"Ningwan, isn’t Ningwan the Divine Doctor Bai Zhi? Come quickly and take a look at my grandfather," Feng Jiuzun suddenly remembered Ningwan was there and yelled out.

Feng Huai also finally remembered that Ningwan was a doctor.

Although a Chinese medicine doctor.

But her identity as Divine Doctor Bai Zhi had reached mythical proportions in the countryside, with no illness she couldn’t cure or person she couldn’t save.

"Miss Ye, please come and look at my father. As long as you can save him, the item is yours immediately."

Ningwan looked at Feng Jiuzun.

Feng Jiuzun frowned slightly.

Feng Huai, frustrated, kicked him, "You fool, what’s more important, the item or your grandfather?"
