The Great Chu Imperial Palace seems calm on the surface, but underneath, the undercurrents are raging. The one who poisoned the Emperor must be intending to seize the opportunity to usurp the throne. Emperor Yongye, who was wise for his entire life, has probably only been deceived twice."
Hong Haoran sneered coldly.
It seems that he doesn’t like Emperor Yongye, and it is for Hong Xuan’s sake that he came to Chu City.
Feng Bailing wondered in her heart, had Emperor Yongye been schemed against before?
"Young girl, I have a favor to ask of you."
Hong Haoran closed his eyes, looking very tired.
Feng Bailing had no choice but to support him to sit down.
"Senior, please just say what you wish to say."
Feng Bailing holds a lot of respect for a medical senior like Hong Haoran.
Hong Haoran’s voice was hoarse.
Feng Bailing was taken aback.
She did not hesitate and knelt down.
Just for the fact that Hong Haoran had experienced all Hundred Poisons in his life and endured the criticism of the world, he deserved her respect.
"I have lived forty-nine years, and all my heart wanted was to find a successor, but I have never found the right candidate. Hong Xuan always thought that I was biased, favors boys over girls, and unwilling to pass on my inheritance to her. Nevertheless, no one knows a daughter like her father does. Hong Xuan is too impulsive with a temperament that is strong but easily broken, and she tends to act on her emotions. If she were to receive the inheritance, she might be used by those with ulterior motives. Although Lu Yin is more stable in character, he lacks foresight."
Hong Haoran spoke regretfully.
But immediately after, his eyes brightened as he looked at Feng Bailing.
"I have decided to pass on the lineage of the Poison Dragon Villa to you. What I am most proud of in my life is not just the Poison Technique, but also a secret technique called the Dragon Suppressing Needle."
Feng Bailing was startled; did the senior intend for her to inherit his legacy?
"Senior, I fear this may not be appropriate. You have many disciples and a daughter, and I am an outsider; it is our first meeting. What if I turn out to be a person of utter depravity..."
Feng Bailing felt an immense pressure.
"Bad people don’t proclaim themselves to be bad. Lu Yin has nothing but praise for you, and I have personally verified your medicine," Hong Haoran said with a smile.
"If all else fails, you can also pass it on to Dugu Wu. He was raised by you from a young age, he has foresight, and he is stable enough."
Feng Bailing thought to herself that in a year, she would take her family away and live happily ever after as a salted fish.
It would be best not to get involved with something like the Poison Dragon Villa.
"That child Dugu has too much on his mind. His extreme cleverness lacks a bit of clarity. You should stop making excuses; I pass the Dragon Suppressing Needle to you, also hoping that in the future, if Dugu Wu has inner demons, there will be someone in the world who can suppress him."
Hong Haoran said with profound meaning.
Hong Haoran could see clearly, Lu Yin had already started calling Feng Bailing Princess Consort Wu.
These past few days, Dugu Wu has also been staying in the Imperial Palace; he is certainly not just worried about Emperor Yongye.
That child, abandoned since infancy.
If there is someone who can heal him, it would be a good thing for both Great Chu and Dugu Wu himself.
The needle technique that can suppress Dugu Wu shows that it is an unparalleled martial art!
Feng Bailing became interested upon hearing this.
She has no way to gather both Wuji Seal and Wenhua Seal, but if she obtained this unparalleled martial art, she would see how Dugu Wu dares to bully her in the future.
"If you are worried that you have a master and cannot acknowledge me as your master, then don’t fret over it. I won’t force you to take me as your master. There is only one thing: if one day my Poison Dragon Villa is in danger, I hope you can lend a hand."
Hong Haoran only told Lu Yin about passing the Dragon Suppressing Needle to Feng Bailing.
He also heard from Lu Yin that Feng Bailing has a master who is elusive, like a dragon that’s seen its head but not its tail.
Feng Bailing was overjoyed; without any more hesitation, she kowtowed three times to Hong Haoran.
