After Jing Tian and the others left, Lin Nan turned around and looked at me.
“Miss Nanxing, come with me. Many people want to see you.” She led me to another hall.
Mai Qi was about to say something, but I stopped her. We were already there, so why not see what she was up to?
On the other side of the hall, the crowd was bustling with activity.
Lin Nan walked straight to the small table in front, picked up a microphone, and cleared her throat. “Everyone, please be quiet!”
The crowd slowly quieted down, and everyone turned to look at Lin Nan. Their expressions were either friendly or adoring. She enjoyed a very high status in the family.
“Previously, I’ve introduced to everyone the Lin family’s research results over the past few years. Among them, there was mention of the Phoenix blood that could resist aging, detoxify poison, and extend one’s lifespan. The Lin family has always thought that the Phoenix blood was a legend. Who would have thought that there really is Phoenix blood in this world? Miss Nanxing is the bearer of Phoenix blood!” Lin Nan raised her voice and pointed at me.
I silently cursed in my heart. Shit!
As expected, everyone’s eyes were on me.
Mai Qi and Jing Ni instinctively blocked me behind them.
Mai Qi’s face was filled with anger. Just as she was about to flare up, I pulled her back and took a step forward to welcome everyone’s curious gazes.
Lin Nan held the microphone. She continued, “Miss Nanxing, everyone here is my schoolmates and colleagues. All of them are engaged in medical work. We are all filled with curiosity about Phoenix blood. I didn’t expect that we would really be able to encounter Phoenix blood in our lifetime.”
She then turned to the crowd. “You may not know this, but Miss Nanxing is a beautiful and kind person. Yesterday, I saw her use her own blood to save an arrogant and despotic young lady. Even though the two of them did not get along, Miss Nanxing was willing to save her. This shows how noble Miss Nanxing’s character is.
“Miss Nanxing, each of us here knows a few critically ill patients. Today, we would like to ask Miss Nanxing to extend a helping hand to them. This is the perfect chance for you to collect karma. I know the kind Miss Nanxing will not reject us!”
Damn it! This woman is definitely good at pushing people using a high moral standpoint.
Applause rang out, from a few sporadic claps to thunderous applause. They clapped while looking at me greedily.
I definitely felt like Tan Sanzhang then. Beside me were Zhu Bajie and Sa Wujing.
Lin Nan’s smile did not change at all. It was gentle and beautiful. At this moment, her eyes actually flashed with tears, as if she had won the Nobel Peace Prize.
I pulled Mai Qi back. If she acted rashly, we would only die faster.
I slowly walked toward Lin Nan and hugged her in front of everyone. I whispered in her ear, “Miss Lin, what a powerful move.”
Lin Nan faced everyone and turned her smile into a mask. Naturally, she couldn’t reply to me.
I took the microphone from her hand and raised my hand to signal for everyone to calm down.
Looking at the excited faces below, I smiled faintly. “All of you are looking at me like I’m Tang Sanzhang from Journey to the West!”
Small laughter came from below.
I smiled. “Miss Lin Nan mentioned Phoenix blood and mentioned its effects. I know everyone is quite interested. To be honest, I’m quite interested as well. I believe that the patients you have aren’t suffering from the same disease. I don’t think Phoenix Blood is ambrosia that can cure all diseases. Isn’t that a stuff of legends?”
Lin Nan snatched the microphone and said, “Miss Nanxing, the Lin family will do everything to develop ambrosia out of the Phoenix Blood. We can definitely save a lot of people!”
