Chapter 740: Chapter 744: The First Test 8
After hearing what Young Master Bai Que had said, Xuan Shui felt somewhat reassured.
Moreover, only now did he notice that their clothes were torn in some places, even stained with blood, but the skin beneath appeared to be undamaged. It must be because they had used some kind of medicine.
With this thought, Xuan Shui felt completely at ease.
However, he was somewhat troubled as he looked at the palm-sized Golden Sore Patch in his hand.
There were several wounds on his body, but he had only one patch to apply.
He glanced at the others; they seemed completely unharmed. Facing such a powerful wild beast, how could they only have one injury?
Therefore, they must have plenty of medicines at hand, enough to heal their wounds.
It seems like the earlier they got out, the more rewards they received.
Xuan Shui pursed his lips, placing the Golden Sore Patch on a severe wound on his abdomen. Then, the words Liao Li had told him flashed through his mind.
-- I will have people poison all the food I send them. They won’t be a match for you when the poison starts acting after they enter Wood Immortal Mansion.
-- Remember, they must not leave Wood Immortal Mansion alive!
Xuan Shui glanced at Gaiyin again; though he looked somewhat pale, he didn’t look poisoned, let alone the fact that he had passed the first test...
Xuan Shui silently lowered his head.
He was still badly injured, definitely not a match for Gaiyin, and Gaiyin still had an ally here.
He would wait a little longer.
Xuan Shui gently touched the wound on his abdomen where the Golden Sore Patch was applied. It felt warm, and he could hardly feel any pain.
This Golden Sore Patch was indeed excellent; it would be great if he could get more.
Suddenly, his view became dim.
When Xuan Shui looked up, he saw Young Master Bai Que sitting with a grin next to him on the grass mat.
Xuan Shui immediately remembered his distinctive quirk and moved away from him cautiously. Then, he said, "Young Master Bai Que, is there something you need from me?"
Bai Que shook the exquisite porcelain bottle in his hand and said, "You seem badly injured. Let me help you."
Xuan Shui didn’t believe he would be that generous, so he lowered his head with his eyebrows furrowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, young master. My injuries just look severe, but I will be fine with some rest."
Bai Que chuckled lightly, "No need to be so guarded against me. I come bearing sincerity."
Xuan Shui didn’t quite understand what Bai Que meant, but he didn’t ask either.
"I know Liao Li asked you guys to take out Gaiyin and his team in the Wood Immortal Mansion." Bai Que twirled the porcelain bottle in his hand, and casually glanced at Xuan Shui.
After seeing the shocked expression on his face, Bai Que chuckled again, "But before that, my father had already given them the antidote, so they were actually not poisoned."
After a long while,
Xuan Shui finally came out of his shock.
He slowly digested the news and frowned, "Why would you collude with outsiders to deceive your own father?"
Bai Que curled his lips in a mocking smile, "Outsiders? To us Vermilion Bird Clan, Liao Li and his people are the real foreigners who had our tribe destroyed!"
Xuan Shui opened his mouth to refute but didn’t know what to say.
Because Bai Que had stated a fact.
A long time ago, it was indeed Liao Li who led an attack on the Vermilion Bird Clan, and then established the Ten Thousands Beast Country.
But it has been so long since then, everyone thought the Vermilion Bird Clan had accepted the outcome. They didn’t expect that they had been plotting in secret.
