Ouyang Ling Tian looked at the pill in the girl"s hand before consuming it without any hesitation. When that pill entered his mouth, it instantly liquified and spread throughout his body after entering his throat.

Everyone focused their gazes on Ouyang Ling Tian at this instant.

If Mu Ru Yue was a spy from other families and was delusional in trying to take the head of the family"s life, they must apprehend her as quickly as they could.

Suddenly, a trace of rosiness flashed past Ouyang Ling Tian"s pale face.

Pfft!

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood that was giving off a fishy stench.

“Father!”

Ouyang Yun Jin hastily went forth to support Ouyang Ling Tian"s body with worried eyes. An angered yell was heard before he could say anything.

“I had already said that this woman doesn"t have good intentions and is delusional in trying to kill father. Someone, quickly capture this woman for this young master!”

Ouyang Yun Shu pointed toward Mu Ru Yue and instructed coldly.

The others saw this situation and hastily went to surround that girl. Yet, her eyes was still as calm as though she wasn"t aware of her current predicament.

“Stop!”

A furious voice was suddenly heard, stopping everyone"s action.

Ouyang Ling Tian entered the crowd to stand before Mu Ru Yue. He then bowed deeply toward Mu Ru Yue, directly ignoring Ouyang Yun Shu"s gaze, as he said, “Lady Mu, thank you very much for curing my chronic illness. I will abide by my promise. The Ouyang family will swear their loyalty and devotion to you from now on!”

“Father?”

Ouyang Yun Shu was stunned for a moment.

"That brat has really healed father? How can she have that kind of ability? That alchemist chief of the Dongfang family may not even have such capability.

"What is even more unbelievable is that father wants the Ouyang family to swear their loyalty and devotion to her!"

Thoughts ran rampant in Ouyang Yun Shu"s mind. He then took in a deep breath and said, “Father, it is unnecessary to give the entire family to her even if she saved your life. We don"t know anything about her. What if she pushes our family into an abyss? How will you be able to face the Ouyang family"s ancestors then?”

“Shut up!”

Ouyang Ling Tian interrupted him coldly and said, “This is my decision. It isn"t up for discussions. Otherwise, the outcome of Ouyang Dan will be the same as yours!”

Ouyang Yun Shu could only stop speaking upon hearing that in dissatisfaction. But what he couldn"t stand was that his father wanted to chase him out of the family for an outsider!

"It seems that father is getting senile!

"I definitely won"t let the Ouyang family fall into an outsider"s hand."

“Head, something bad happened.” A voice came through from outside the room. Following that, a subordinate of the Ouyang family dashed briskly into the room and reported, panting profusely, “Someone from the Dongfang family has come.”

“Dongfang family?” Ouyang Ling Tian"s gaze turned grim as he commented, “It seems that the Dongfang family has come here really quick. They definitely will primarily suspect our Ouyang family since something happened to Dongfang Jun in the Ouyang City! But we will have to face the Dongfang family eventually so let"s just invite them in.”

“Understood, head!”

That subordinate cupped his fists toward him before retreating.

A well built figure that brought a sword-like aura with him was seen as he entered the room briskly under the crowd"s gaze after a short moment.

That man was at most fifty years of age. There were some similarities in his appearance to Dongfang Jun"s. His lofty and powerful body gave people an oppressing feeling when he stood before the crowd.

Mu Ru Yue lifted her head slightly to glance at the middle-aged man before immediately withdrawing her gaze.
