Ms. Doctor Divine

Ziluo was unaware that these individuals harbored such thoughts about her actions.

Her motives were simple – she believed Kang Yan should not punish a few people, as it would cast significant blame on her. In her perspective, she had done nothing wrong.

She had no knowledge of the gratitude brewing among those people; being the daughter of the True Martial Race Clan Leader, she paid little heed to their existence.

“Enough with the charade. Instead of dwelling on your ignorance of the situation, let’s address why I sought him out first. Are we dismissing the potential value of the pill simply because Kang Shi is involved?”

“…”

“Let’s ascertain the efficacy of the pill before making any decisions.”

“…”

“If it’s merely a bluff, the rumors will naturally fade with time. If it turns out to be true, then we’ll need to consider how to handle Kang Shi.”

“…”

“At present, Father controls nearly everything in the clan. His expertise lies in pill refinement, so we can delegate tasks to him accordingly. Can’t we just treat Kang Shi as an ordinary servant? Why make a fuss? What significance does he hold to warrant such attention?”

“…”

“Aren’t you overestimating him by stirring up these matters?”

“…”

“I don’t take him seriously. I’ll arrange for him to prove himself.”

“…”

“I’m going to find out what’s going on,” Ziluo declared.

Kang Yan, still seething with anger, gradually calmed down upon hearing her words. If Ziluo hadn’t intervened earlier, he might have lashed out at those responsible. He couldn’t fathom how such significant information had been kept from him. Regardless, he was not about to grant any favors to a worthless person like Kang Shi.

Did his actions result in the deaths of many of his subordinates? It didn’t add up.

Glaring at Ziluo, Kang Yan, still perturbed by the involvement of Kang Shi and their past engagement, voiced his doubts, “Do you need to go personally? Are you implying you still have feelings for Kang Shi just because he can refine pills now?”

Ziluo, incensed, retorted, “You don’t know what’s good for you?”

“…”

“I did all of this for you, and you’re still doubting me?”

“…”

“I’ve only met Kang Shi a few times. How can I have any feelings for him? If you’re so worried, I’ll go back to the True Martial Race,” Ziluo roared angrily.

Panicking, Kang Yan hurriedly pulled her back. Despite his anger, he recognized the strategic importance of maintaining good relations with the Clan Leader of True Martial Race, who could aid him in the future. Provoking him could complicate matters.

“I’ll discuss it with my father. You don’t have to worry about it. Just stay away from him. You know what happened in the past,” Kang Yan cautioned.

Ziluo nodded, relieved that she had defused the situation. She couldn’t fathom how Kang Yan had perceived her thoughts.

Nevertheless, she still needed to investigate Kang Shi’s affairs. If the pills were as effective as rumored, they could prove beneficial to her as well.
