Su Lianxin breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the young mistress.
She managed to take two steps forward.
"Young Madam, it's too dangerous down there. The killing fortuitous opportunity left behind by beings at least at the Ancient Emperor Realm is something we can't possibly obtain with our abilities."
Looking around at the other injured people, Su Lianxin felt a pang of pity.
She turned to Ye Jinzhi and said, "Everyone is seriously injured. I hope the young mistress will lend a helping hand and treat you all."
Ye Jinzhi, the first wife of the eldest son of the Duan Household, immediately showed a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
She held a high position in the Duan Household.
Not only because she is the young mistress of the Duan Household, but also because her surname is Ye!
Her maternal family, the Ye Household, is an extremely prominent Lineage in the Sword Ruins. The Ye Household patriarch was even Half-Saint, only one step away from the Saint Realm.
In contrast, the Duan Household patriarch was only at the Ancient Emperor Eighth Layer. The difference between the two was vast, and it was no exaggeration to say that the Duan Household was trying to climb the social ladder.
Therefore, in the Duan Household, apart from the Duan Household patriarch, Ye Jinzhi was the only one who had the final say.
Even her husband Duan Yangqiu, couldn't get past her.
Therefore, she was the one leading the team for this opening of the Vast Sea Secret Realm.
However, what made Ye Jinzhi extremely uncomfortable was that the Duan Household patriarch actually allowed this Su Lianxin to accompany them.
She didn't know Su Lianxin's background, but whenever she saw Su Lianxin, she couldn't help but think of Duan Nianwei, that little bastard, the only one in the Duan Household who dared to talk back to her and disobey her orders.
She went to great lengths to finally drive Duan Nianwei away and send her to the Primordial Holy Heaven so she wouldn't get in her way, but in the end, the Duan Household patriarch somehow picked up this little girl surnamed Su from somewhere else.
Every move she made was remarkably similar to Duan Nianwei's.
The two women looked nothing alike, nor did they share any similar habits. However, when Ye Jinzhi looked at Su Lianxin, she couldn't help but think of Duan Nianwei.
The two of them have such similar temperaments!
If Su Lianxin were a little shorter, with her hair tied up and wearing a white dress that she, like Duan Nianwei, adored...
And a sword!
Both of them are sword cultivators!
From behind, it's impossible to tell the difference between the two people.
From a distance, they are also easily confused.
Just one more look and Ye Jinzhi felt like she was going to vomit.
In particular, the hint of arrogance in Su Lianxin's eyes, the air of disdain for anyone, made her even more uncomfortable.
This was Duan Nianwei would never have.
But Ye Jinzhi felt even more uncomfortable than Duan Nianwei herself.
After she sent Duan Nianwei away, who in this Duan Household, besides the old man, would dare disobey her?
But out of nowhere, so many variables have appeared.
It's absolutely disgusting!
Therefore, Ye Jinzhi made no attempt to hide her cold expression and spoke in a cold tone.
"Using medicine to heal my Duan Lineage members is my duty; it's not your place to tell me what to do."
"However, some people are not members of my Duan Lineage. If you need healing pills, you'll have to look elsewhere."
Su Lianxin's expression changed drastically.
The reason she stayed with the Duan Household was that when she first arrived at the Sword Ruins of the Eastern Continent, she was critically injured and saved by members of the Duan Lineage.
In order to repay the kindness shown to her, Su Lianxin decided to venture into the Zhou Quan Vast Sea Secret Realm with the Duan Household, to help them out and to repay the kindness of the Duan Household Lineage.
However, although she didn't care about the so-called elixir, the other party's actions truly chilled her heart.
This young mistress, Ye Jinzhi, is not like this in front of the Duan Household patriarch. Now that she is leading a team into the Vast Sea Secret Realm, her behavior towards me can only mean that the other party has long harbored resentment towards me.
Although she had concealed some of her strength, she had helped the Duan Household seize resources along the way. Moreover, she was injured only to save the Duan Household family members immediately; otherwise, she would never have been caught in the crossfire and injured herself for no reason.
Not only did Su Lianxin look unhappy, but the other members of the Duan Household also felt bad and offered their help.
"Young Madam, Miss Su was injured while saving us."
"Yes, young mistress, how are we supposed to take these pills if you do this?"
" Miss Su is our savior and also our ancestor's guest. It is only right and proper that our Duan Household should be responsible for providing Miss Su with her elixirs!"
The eldest son of the Duan Household, Duan Yangqiu, standing beside him, had regular features and fair skin, and seemed quite upright. However, there was a hint of hesitation and timidity on his face, which ruined the unique heroic features of the Duan Household, making him look more gentle and less masculine.
His opening remarks perfectly reflected his personality.
"Yes, Jinzhi... it's nothing more than some healing pills. Lianxin has also put in a lot of effort along the way..."
His voice trailed off as Ye Jinzhi glared at him, until finally, he awkwardly and cautiously shut up.
Duan Yangqiu glanced evasively at Su Lianxin beside him and sighed.
Jinzhi...
He didn't know what to do.
Now, in the vast Duan Household, it is Ye Jinzhi's turn to be in charge.
If there had been a way, he wouldn't have just watched Ye Jinzhi send Duan Nianwei away.
The others present also gradually fell silent.
They could all see that Ye Jinzhi was deliberately targeting Su Lianxin.
Their young master, Duan Yangqiu, is henpecked and cannot be relied upon at all.
These members of the Duan Household, being of low status and little influence, were likely to make a mistake if they spoke at this time. Not only would they be unable to help Su Lianxin, but they might also get themselves into trouble and incur the wrath of the young mistress...
At that time, Miss Su can simply leave, but what about them?
So, no one spoke.
Ye Jinzhi glanced around, deliberately avoiding looking at Su Lianxin, and just kept sneering.
"Can't eat?"
She retorted sarcastically, "If you can't eat it, then don't. If you don't want to eat it, there are plenty of other people who are willing to."
"I'd like to see today who dares to side with this outsider right in front of me!"
Upon hearing this, the hearts of many members of the Duan Lineage sank.
They couldn't help but grit their teeth.
They knew their own situation best. The reason they were able to get here without losing a single person was because Su Lianxin had saved their lives more than once!
In the end, the lady in charge of the household wouldn't even give her a single healing pill.
What kind of talk is this!
Many people struggled with their choices, and finally, as if they had burned their boats, they opened their mouths to defy Ye Jinzhi and beg for mercy.
Even if they are punished in the end, they will accept it!
The Duan Household can't just act so indiscriminately!
However, before they could even speak, Su Lianxin waved her hand coldly, stopping the others from speaking.
She said coldly, "No need."
"Just a single pill."
"I'm not so desperate as to beg for favors. Since the young mistress treats me like an outsider, then I'll leave."
