"Think nothing of it, no need for thanks. Since you and Xiaoxiao hit it off, we can count as friends!" Wei Zhao accepted Xu Shilan as a friend entirely for Feng Xiaoxiao's sake.

"All right, then how much for the medicine you gave me? We may be friends, but I do not want to take advantage of you on the consultation fee." Xu Shilan nodded and asked.

"Forget about money. If we were not friends, I might not have acted even for money." Wei Zhao waved his hand. "Take it as a gift, no charge."

"That will not do. One thing is one thing, and my headache is a long-term trouble. I will have to ask you for medicine again in the future, so I cannot always take it for free?" Xu Shilan said.

"That will not happen. The medicine I gave you is only for a while. But Doctor Guan Pharmaceuticals will soon put its pain-relief pills on the market, and then you can just buy them yourself. That is my prescription, with the same effect." Wei Zhao said.

"Ah! Doctor Guan Pharmaceuticals?" Xu Shilan widened her eyes, then glanced back at Sister Wang, and blushed with embarrassment. "Do you mean Guan Xuemin's Doctor Guan Pharmaceuticals? The one that just opened a while ago and just launched a product?"

"You know it? Right, I think I had Fatty Lai call to invite you as a guest, and you turned him down." Wei Zhao recalled.

"Uh..." Xu Shilan stuck out her tongue. "Sorry, I did not know that company had a share of yours. If I had known earlier, I would have come! I hope you do not mind!"

"It is nothing, just a new product launch." Wei Zhao did not care at all. "Back then we just wanted some star power."

"Well, then can I be your spokesperson? Do not worry, no pay, free as well!" Xu Shilan felt she would be uneasy if she did not do something in return.

"Sure, if you have the time." Wei Zhao did not mind at all, a star effect would be nice.

Hearing Xu Shilan's offer, Sister Wang did not stop her. After all, Xu Shilan owed Wei Zhao an enormous debt of gratitude today. She had thought this bout of headaches would again come to nothing, yet in a sudden turn of fortune, Wei Zhao had resolved the trouble!

With this, she would no longer have to watch Zhao Qibing's face, and Wei Zhao looked far more reliable than that Medicine King Zhao who bristled all over like he was stuck with lightning rods.

"Then it is settled!" Xu Shilan nodded, as if she insisted on being Wei Zhao's spokesperson no matter what.

Feng Xiaoxiao listened from the side to Xu Shilan's past and felt she was a pitiful soul, not even as happy as herself, a short-lived ghost! Yet Feng Xiaoxiao offered no sighs, afraid of disturbing Wei Zhao's treatment, so she sat quietly aside until the dust had settled, when she said excitedly, "Xu Shilan, then I can see you often from now on!"

"Hehe, yes, Xiaoxiao, come and play with me often!" Xu Shilan smiled. "Mr. Lin has my number, you can call me then."

"Call me Wei Zhao, Mr. Lin sounds awkward." Wei Zhao said.

"That works, then do not call me Miss Xu either, call me Xu Shilan or Xiaohan." Xu Shilan nodded and said.

"By the way, you went to Zhao Qibing for treatment before?" Wei Zhao suddenly remembered the phone call he had overheard between Su Jiaonang and Zhao Qibing outside the restroom on the first floor of the stadium, and so he asked.

"Yes, I went... but what Zhao Qibing demanded was really too hard for me, so I did not get treated by him." Xu Shilan said with a rather unnatural expression.

"That is just as well. Best not to be treated by him, his treatment can easily kill." Wei Zhao warned her.

"Ah? Kill?" Xu Shilan froze.

"Nothing much, just do not go looking for them again." Wei Zhao did not explain further.

The car rolled slowly along the road and arrived at the Starlight Hotel in Songshan City, where Xu Shilan's celebration banquet was being held. The entertainment company had invited a number of celebrities to attend the banquet.

"Wei Zhao, Xiaoxiao, wait for me at the reception for a while. I have to put on makeup and go on stage." After getting out of the car, Xu Shilan said to Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao with some apology.

After all, this was the program for the celebration banquet, and Xu Shilan could not change it. She could only neglect Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao for the moment.

"No problem, do not worry about us, we will look after ourselves." Wei Zhao shrugged indifferently. He had brought Feng Xiaoxiao here mainly so she could see more of Xu Shilan, he himself did not care.

After getting out, Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao took the invitations Sister Wang had given them and walked toward the Starlight Hotel, while Xu Shilan and Sister Wang followed the staff through a private passage to change into their gowns for the reception.

"Mr. Lin, please wait a moment." Wei Zhao had only taken two steps when he was called back. It was the voice of Xu Shilan's bodyguard, Feng Sanhuang.

"Is there something?" Wei Zhao stopped, turned back, and asked.

"Mr. Lin, I hope you will not reveal Miss Xu's illness, or what she told you today. Otherwise I cannot guarantee your safety." Feng Sanhuang walked over, lowered his voice, and said coldly.

As for the secrets of her childhood that Xu Shilan had told today, Feng Sanhuang was not afraid that spreading them would harm Xu Shilan's image. He was only afraid they would be heard by his master's enemies and by the mistress, and bring unnecessary trouble.

"Are you threatening me?" Wei Zhao laughed instead of getting angry, looking at Feng Sanhuang with amusement.

Wei Zhao had truly not expected Feng Sanhuang to be so fiercely loyal as to chase after him just to say these things!

"You may take it that way, even if you are a master at the peak of mid-Profound strength." Feng Sanhuang said flatly.

Hearing Feng Sanhuang's words, Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback. He had not expected his strength level to be seen through, but after a moment's thought, Wei Zhao understood how Feng Sanhuang had learned it!

Earlier Wei Zhao had used true qi to sterilize the silver needles, channeling true qi for only an instant, and never thought Feng Sanhuang would sense it.

"Do not think that just because you are an inner practitioner at the peak of late-Profound strength, you can speak such big words before me!" Wei Zhao glanced at Feng Sanhuang and said, "I answer to kindness, not to force. I would never betray a friend, but you are not my friend. If there is nothing else, I will be going."

Feng Sanhuang watched Wei Zhao's retreating back and did not stop him. His expression shifted dark and bright. He had never imagined that Wei Zhao would name his strength level in one breath!
