Chapter 97: I Don’t Like It!
"I'm sorry, but as a disciple of the Great Qin Holy Academy..." Luo Qingtong's red lips curled into a smirk.
"There are three types of people I don't save. First, those who treat me with hostility. Second, those who deserve to die. Third, those beyond my control."
She folded her arms and continued coldly, "So, you'd better find someone else!"
Help him save his junior sister?
Ha!
Did Yu Wenmo truly believe that she, the infamous Evil Doctor Guitong, was some roadside stray he could summon at will?
Not to mention her dislike for him—
Even if he were just a stranger, Luo Qingtong wouldn't lift a finger after his condescending behavior!
The man had shown no respect for her as an alchemist whatsoever!
Indeed, when Yu Wenmo heard that an evil doctor named Guitong could supposedly bring the dead back to life, he had come running.
But did he actually believe in Luo Qingtong's medical skills? Hardly!
He had never even heard of the name 'Evil Doctor Guitong' before!
Much less believed that someone could revive the dead!
Let alone instantly cure the backlash from a forbidden technique and erase all internal injuries!
Yu Wenmo sneered inwardly.
This so-called evil doctor was just a fraud hyped up by the Black Arena!
Nothing more than a charlatan tricking ignorant cultivators!
Even the esteemed Heavenly Medicine Master of the Holy Academy couldn't refine such a miraculous elixir. How could someone from a mere Black Region branch city possess such power?
He had only sought out this so-called doctor because he assumed they were an alchemist of some use.
But this arrogant attitude?
Did this person think they could demand a higher price just because he hadn't yet offered one?
Yu Wenmo scoffed.
He had heard that this so-called doctor won a fortune earlier. Was she now greedy for even more?
Disdain filled his heart as he looked at Luo Qingtong. His voice was ice-cold as he said, "Do you think the price isn't high enough? How much did you charge to save that man just now? I'll pay you ten times that amount!"
He had no time for nonsense.
His junior sister had overexerted herself in the ring, using a forbidden technique that severely damaged her meridians! He had no idea if this injury would hinder her future cultivation progress!
More importantly, she had sneaked out to find him!
If their teacher discovered that she was injured because of him, the consequences could be dire. His own cultivation path might be affected as well!
That was why Yu Wenmo had come to find Luo Qingtong—the so-called Evil Doctor Guitong—in desperation!
He hoped she had some genuine skill that could stabilize his junior sister's meridians. Once they returned to the Holy Academy, a true master could properly heal her!
"Ten times the price. That's quite generous..." Luo Qingtong's voice was slow and deep, with a raspy, weathered tone.
Just as Yu Wenmo assumed she was tempted and felt a flicker of contempt, her tone abruptly shifted, sharp and mocking—
"What a pity. I don't like her!"
Ten times the price?
She wouldn't do it for a hundred or even a thousand times more!
Besides, she had saved that fool earlier simply because she felt like it—without accepting a single coin!
And now, Yu Wenmo dared to command her to save someone?
Too bad.
She wasn't in the mood!
Luo Qingtong brushed past Yu Wenmo, striding toward the exit.
Just then, several new students from the Great Qin Holy Academy arrived.
"Senior Brother, don't waste your time with someone like this! I bet it's not that he won't save her—he simply can't!"
"That's right! Senior Brother, she's obviously a fraud! Let's stop wasting time and go find Master Liu, the Earth-level alchemist from the auction house! If he's willing to help, Junior Sister will be fine!"
The Holy Academy's new students were furious at Luo Qingtong's indifferent attitude toward Yu Wenmo. They grabbed his arm, urging him to leave.
"Indeed! I, Yu Wenmo, won't lower myself to beg a mere fame-seeker! Let's go!" Yu Wenmo said coldly.
The group turned to leave.
Just then, a sudden commotion erupted outside the arena.
