As he spoke, he rudely reached out and shoved the Great Elder, making the Great Elder stagger. Nianyang quickly caught him steady. Though she was angry, in this situation she could only swallow the insult and said gently,
"Little brother, we came here in all sincerity. Although the old madam did take the medicine prescribed by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner from our sect, the specific situation still needs further investigation. Perhaps the old madam just has a weaker constitution and produced a resistance reaction that led to loss of function, and she's not truly dead. A human life is at stake here. Could you please do us a favor and inform your masters?"
The people coming and going around them all stopped, staring with wide, disbelieving eyes.
They hadn't heard wrong, had they? This girl actually said the old madam wasn't really dead?
Could death even be faked?
