Chapter 924: Chapter 920: Powerful Support!
After a brief pause, Adison Claire suddenly clenched her fists: "If not for that upheaval, if not for the Water Drop Organization using my parents to threaten me, I would never be like this now!"
"It’s just a pity that when I found out about my parents’ death and wanted to resist, I had already done many wrong things and didn’t have the ability to escape!"
These heartfelt words reached Xiao Tian’s ears, dispelling many doubts and misunderstandings. However, he didn’t feel the gloom above his head lifting; instead, it felt even denser, slowly pressing down, making it hard to breathe.
Yet, Xiao Tian couldn’t find a reason to comfort her. He could only stand by Adison Claire’s side, silently sharing the suffocating oppressive atmosphere with her.
A moment later, Adison Claire unclenched her fists, her eyes regained clarity, and she blushed: "Sorry, I might have lost my composure just now and made you listen to some unpleasant words."
Xiao Tian smiled, comforting her: "Don’t worry, a force like the Water Drop Organization will collapse one day, and that day shouldn’t be too far away!"
Adison Claire raised her eyebrows, somewhat puzzled by Xiao Tian’s confidence, and then thought he must have just fought with some people from the Water Drop Organization, probably assuming those people represented the organization’s average level.
"The Water Drop Organization is not as easy to deal with as you think!" Adison Claire couldn’t help but remind him: "Those people just now do not represent the entire strength of the Water Drop Organization."
Xiao Tian nodded, acknowledging Adison Claire’s words.
Having fought back and forth with the Water Drop Organization for a long time, how could he not know the organization’s overall strength?
Not to mention, experts like Thunder King Salon alone were enough to give him a headache, let alone the fact that the Water Drop Organization had more than just one expert like Thunder King Salon.
But now, the situation is different. Xiao Tian fighting alone might not be enough to dismantle the Water Drop Organization completely, but with Adison Claire, the head of the Water Drop Group’s biochemical lab, it might be possible.
At least, they have taken a big step towards the organization’s eradication!
Thinking of this, Xiao Tian asked, "Next, do you plan to go to Huaxia to find the Hunter?"
"This is the best option I’ve thought of currently. Unless a better plan comes up, this is indeed the way." Adison Claire nodded.
"Alright then!"
Xiao Tian laughed heartily and continued, "I will stay here for ten days to half a month, and once I finish some things, I will take you back to Huaxia."
"Won’t it be a problem for you?" Adison Claire asked somewhat bashfully, but also felt moved. The reliability Xiao Tian brought made her feel much more at ease around him.
"It won’t." Xiao Tian shook his head with certainty and added, "Besides, my friend’s situation requires you to take a look. If you have a way to wake him up, that would be the best!"
Xiao Tian was saying this and thinking this way, being someone accustomed to preparing for contingencies, he couldn’t pin all his hopes on just one prescription.
Previously, he was forced, but now that there are other options, he’s inclined to include them all, even if the prescription fails, there’s a backup plan.
Of course, Xiao Tian’s reason for proposing to accompany Adison Claire was also because she was looking for him. If she couldn’t find him in an unfamiliar place or did something as sensational as Sun Miaohan, it would be quite absurd.
After things were settled, Xiao Tian suggested that Adison Claire rest, while he went to check on Xiang Yiting, seeing her peacefully asleep, he was relieved.
...
In the quiet of the night, under the bright moon, Xiao Tian leaned against a thick tree trunk, smiling as he thought that destiny was quite kind to him!
Although from knowing Xiang Yiting and Adison Claire until now, it seemed he was always helping them, and there was no breakthrough on the issue of Ghost Face, he didn’t feel disappointed or complain.
If he hadn’t met Xiang Yiting, he wouldn’t have retrieved seven rare Self-Soul Pearls from the lakebed in one time and that mass of pure energy nourishing all living things, nor would he have met Adison Claire later.
Moreover, Xiao Tian felt quite proud of discovering a genius with fully open meridians from his exploration.
As for Adison Claire, there’s no need to say more, her previous position as the head of the Water Drop Organization’s biochemical lab already carried significant weight, and her willingness to fight against the Water Drop Organization together with him was even more valuable!
All these efforts weren’t in vain, making this journey worthwhile!
Xiao Tian’s eyes flickered as he planned to fully focus on preparing the antidote. With the Confucian Spring water as the medicinal lead, getting that energy mass from the spring source meant it was no longer an issue.
Xiao Tian could even dig a well himself, covering it with the energy that nurtures all things, and naming it Confucian Wind Well.
However, that’s something for the future. Solving the present matters first is not too late!
With his decision made, Xiao Tian gently closed his eyes to rest.
Unbeknownst to him, the moment he closed his eyes, Xiang Yiting, lying nearby, happened to open her eyes...
...
Early the next morning, Xiang Yiting was very grateful towards Adison Claire and Xiao Tian after she woke up.
After listening to the pre-agreed story that Adison Claire and Xiao Tian told her, it seemed it didn’t cause her much worry.
Though, if one observed closely, they could tell Xiang Yiting was behaving a bit too normally, and inexplicably blushed and averted her gaze while talking to Xiao Tian.
But both Xiao Tian and Adison Claire were walking ahead of Xiang Yiting, so no one noticed her unusual actions.
With his keen observation, Xiao Tian soon noticed Xiang Yiting’s absent-mindedness and curiously asked, "What are you thinking?"
Xiang Yiting immediately reacted like a startled rabbit, explaining in a fluster: "I was thinking about how I left my medicine in the room upstairs last night. That bottle is quite expensive, so it’s a bit of a pity."
As she spoke, she showed a regretful expression and bowed her head.
Xiao Tian thought for a moment and said, "I’ve learned some traditional Chinese medicine. When I checked your pulse yesterday, it was normal, so it would be better not to take any random medicine in the future."
