“What?” Chu Tianfeng instantly stupefied.

Monetary…payment?!

This word was not only unfamiliar. For the young master from Fentian Palace, it was totally an unknown term. No one has ever talked to him about money, especially young women. He almost thought he had heard it wrong.

“Meng Qi!” Qingfeng Valley’s sect leader next to Chu Tianfeng admonished with a dark face: “Don’t fool around.”

The entire Qingfeng great hall fell into silence. The mountain breeze roared past, as if robbing all the voices here. All the disciples looked at Meng Qi. In the eyes of most people, this junior sister who has been joined the sect for half a year is the typical example of a quiet and well-behaved girl. Unexpectedly, once the quiet girl opened her mouth, she amazed everyone.

Qingfeng Valley was a medical sect. Most disciples learn medical skills to make a living in this Three Thousand Worlds. So, there was nothing wrong with accepting monetary payment for medical treatment. But that man was Fentian Palace’s young master that stood above countless people, ah! If it were them…they would rather exchange some friendship with this proud and handsome young man.

Meng Qi’s expression was still as calm as water. She saluted the sect leader: “This disciple wants to try solving the poison from Fentian Palace’s Young Master’s body.” She didn’t even want to call Chu Tianfeng’s name, so as to reduce even the smallest possibility of herself being involved with him. “Just …”

“You want money?” Chu Tianfeng coldly responded. The bone-piercing pain that obviously has just been receded once again surged from his limbs. The black-robed young man stood tall, looking at the girl in a blue robe. Sure enough, even if they both came from Qingfeng Valley, this place could bring out such a kind, brave, and pure girl like Lu Qingran, and could also bring out this kind of woman…

Chu Tianfeng’s gaze has become colder than the winds on the winter solstice. Staring quietly at Meng Qi, his voice was even colder than his eyes: “Are you sure you can solve my poison?”

“Fellow Daoist Chu…” The sect leader wanted to speak for Meng Qi. Even if this girl was reckless, she was still a talented disciple from their sect.

“No need to say more.” Chu Tianfeng coldly interrupted the sect leader.

He had never suffered such humiliation.

Never!

Over the years, he has long been accustomed to being revered by all. The girls he met could not wait to give their everything for him. He never saw a person dared to ask for money from him.

“Let her cure me.” Chu Tianfeng looked at Meng Qi. “How much do you want?”

Meng Qi hesitated. How much should she charge? Disciples of Qingfeng Valley came here to learn medical skills. After leaving the sect, many of them would find some city or powerhouse to become a healer, in order to survive in this Three Thousand Worlds.

But Meng Qi never thought of relying on her medical skills to make money. In her previous life, she single-heartedly dedicated herself to pursue the medical path. As a cultivator who just entered the Golden Core stage, Meng Qi, who could break through the fifth rank of medical cultivation, was indeed an outstanding talent in Three Thousand Worlds. But now she needed to cut off the karma…

Meng Qi stared at Chu Tianfeng for a while. She turned to look at the sect leader: “Sect Leader.” She saluted again: “How much should I charge?”

The sect leader was astonished. She wordlessly looked at Meng Qi, unable to fathom how the situation developed into this stage.

“Meng Qi” She ignored this little disciple’s question and said, “You know, this Fellow Daoist Chu’s poison…” She paused hesitantly, “Is not easy to cure.”
