Free Web NovelChapter 1737: Chapter 1347: Farewell, Qianji Poison!
Setting aside the complex web of emotions, Gu Changsheng furrowed her brows upon hearing what the Medicine Immortal Old Man said. She asked in confusion, "You knocked them down, didn’t you? You didn’t run away, so you must have come back to watch the show, right? Or is there another reason?"
"Of course, there’s another reason!" the Medicine Immortal Old Man replied as he searched around, not bothering to look back. "The good show I wanted to see, I watched before I left. My return was unexpected, and I didn’t anticipate seeing this. It’s not within my calculations..."
Walking behind the Medicine Immortal Old Man, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but curl her lips at his words. "You talk as if you’re very smart, as if everything is in your plan..."
Gu Changsheng considered herself a clever person, and hearing someone show off intelligence in front of her naturally made her a bit jealous!
Even if that person was the Medicine Immortal Old Man, who had just listened to her heartfelt words a moment ago, it was no exception!
Trailing behind the Medicine Immortal Old Man, Gu Changsheng’s bright face was full of disdain!
Really don’t know what tricks this old man is up to now!
And no idea if her evildoer and Shi Wujue have returned to the Guesthouse yet...
Thinking of these two, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on!
Following her temperament, she wouldn’t think about things that gave her headaches!
Thus, Gu Changsheng said nothing, just following behind the mysterious Medicine Immortal Old Man, her expression slightly awkward!
"Ah! Found it!" Suddenly, like a groundhog, the Medicine Immortal Old Man, who was searching the ground, exclaimed!
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately snapped out of her thoughts and quickly looked over at the Medicine Immortal Old Man!
She saw the Medicine Immortal Old Man squatting down, bent over, picking something up!
A few steps away, Gu Changsheng couldn’t see clearly, so she stepped forward two more steps, asking in confusion, "What did you find? Let me see?"
"Here!" The Medicine Immortal Old Man handed the silver needles over to Gu Changsheng, while scrutinizing the silver needles in his hand, muttering to himself with an uncertain expression, " Qianji! It’s just the Qianji Poison! Could it be that I overthought, and he didn’t actually mean harm?"
As the Medicine Immortal Old Man muttered to himself, Gu Changsheng, who had come forward, also clearly saw the silver needles in his hand, and noticed the dark glow emanating from the needles!
Qianji!
Qianji Poison!
With the understanding of poisons that Gu Changsheng and the Medicine Immortal Old Man have, it only takes one glance to identify what poison is coated on these silver needles!
Qianji Poison!
Upon hearing Qianji Poison again!
"It’s actually... Qianji Poison!" Gu Changsheng’s expression changed unpredictably for a moment. The next instant, she stepped forward, grabbing the silver needles from the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s hand, and asked nervously, "Old Man, why are these silver needles here?"
This is the place where her evildoer and Shi Wujue were just battling!
In a place like this, how could silver needles coated with Qianji Poison appear?
Is it a coincidence? Or man-made?
From the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s words, it was clear that this was no coincidence!
"You asked why these poison needles are here? Naturally, someone used them here!" The Medicine Immortal Old Man responded immediately to his unfilial disciple, but as he spoke, his eyebrows slightly furrowed as he rubbed his chin, looking at the poison needle in Gu Changsheng’s hand and muttering, "However, I originally thought the poison on these needles would be Blood-Sealing Throat poison, but it turns out I was overthinking! The Qianji Poison on these needles at most causes confusion for a quarter of an hour, it won’t kill anyone!"
Qianji Poison is hard to come by, however, a small amount of Qianji Poison isn’t something deadly!
This, the Medicine Immortal Old Man knows well, and Gu Changsheng knows even better!
However, upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s expression did not relax; instead, it became even more grim. Looking at the silver needles coated with Qianji Poison in her hand, the Phoenix Eyes were filled with a sinister look, as if she might explode the next instant...
"Changsheng Melon Baby..." The Medicine Immortal Old Man, seeing his disciple’s worsening expression, couldn’t help but speak with concern, "Changsheng Melon Baby, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so frightening?"
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s bright face was full of ice, staring at the poison needle in her hand, silent.
The Medicine Immortal Old Man thought she was worried about the poison needle and couldn’t help but comfort her, "Changsheng Melon Baby, don’t worry, this little bit of Qianji Poison won’t take someone’s life, it’s not critical..."
"Old Man, this poison needle isn’t yours, is it?" Hearing this, Gu Changsheng slowly turned her head and looked at the Medicine Immortal Old Man, asking.
The Medicine Immortal Old Man shook his head upon hearing this, and said assuredly, "Naturally, the things I’m used to carrying are usually medicines, you know well, either life-saving or life-taking, I wouldn’t carry something as gentle as Qianji Poison!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s expression eased slightly, as she turned her gaze back to the poison needle in her hand and muttered, "Indeed, compared to the lethal Blood-Sealing Throat poison, Qianji Poison can be considered gentle..."
The Medicine Immortal Old Man nodded quickly.
This statement wasn’t false, as Qianji Poison is a kind of neurotoxin, ********, and its toxicity really cannot compare to the ferocity of Blood-Sealing Throat poison!
However, just as the Medicine Immortal Old Man nodded, Gu Changsheng’s quiet voice echoed again in his ears...
"But, Old Man, you’ve probably forgotten, although Qianji Poison is ******** and won’t cause immediate death, for certain people, its effect can be as deadly as Blood-Sealing Throat poison..." Gu Changsheng continued as she glanced at the Medicine Immortal Old Man, speaking heavily, "For example, someone who has been afflicted with Qianji Poison before, with the poison in their lungs, for which there is no cure! The trace of Qianji Poison on this poison needle can be the last straw to crush the camel!"
The Medicine Immortal Old Man’s expression immediately became serious upon hearing this, looking at Gu Changsheng with doubt and surprise, he said, "Changsheng Melon Baby, what do you mean?"
Gu Changsheng heard this and curved her lips into a cold smile, looking at the Medicine Immortal Old Man, she solemnly said, "What I mean is, this bit of Qianji can also be deadly! And my evildoer, he is the one who can die from this bit of Qianji Poison!"
The Medicine Immortal Old Man was immediately shocked upon hearing this!
His mouth opened wide, looking at Gu Changsheng in disbelief, after a long while, he finally stuttered, "You... You mean... Zhou Mu, that boy, was poisoned with Qianji Poison before?"
Gu Changsheng nodded with a grim expression, speaking heavily, "Yes! He’s been poisoned with Qianji Poison, and it was induced by Fetal Blood, damaging his body and linking to his life, hard to remove even for Chen Ke and even I, no matter how hard I tried, couldn’t completely cure it!"
Even Gu Changsheng did not expect to see Qianji Poison again in such a place and at such a time!
This thing, if someone else got contaminated, it wouldn’t matter, it wouldn’t take their life, however, there’s one exception, and that person is her evildoer!
Upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s expression darkened as well, looking at the poison needle in her hand, he hesitated to speak...
"Old Man, the fact that the evildoer was poisoned with Qianji Poison has been a top-secret, only those in our inner circle know, outsiders are unaware, tell me, who is the owner of this poison needle?" Gu Changsheng took a deep breath, her face icy, speaking heavily, Phoenix Eyes already radiating murderous intent, almost losing control!
Who is it?
Who indeed knows about the evildoer’s poisoning by Qianji Poison? And used this Qianji Poison-coated needle in the critical battle between the evildoer and Shi Wujue?
This person clearly wants to take the evildoer’s life!
Who could it be?
No matter who it is, she must expose them!
In this world, those who knew about the evildoer’s poisoning were either the one who poisoned him or their confidants!
The confidants around them would never leak such life-threatening matters, so there’s only one possibility: the owner of this Qianji Poison needle has a deep connection with the perpetrator who poisoned the evildoer back then!
"Perhaps it was just a coincidence?" Seeing her apprentice ready to kill, the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s face was full of hesitation, saying, and even he found it hard to believe...
"Coincidence? Haha..." Gu Changsheng chuckled mockingly at these words, speaking heavily, "Master, there’s no coincidence in this world, every coincidence is inevitable! Tell me, who is it? Who is the owner of this poison needle?"
The Medicine Immortal Old Man scratched his nose awkwardly, sighing, "You want to know who used this poison needle, it’s simple, just wait here! I used a trick to lead that person away, and judging by the time, they’re likely coming to their senses now! If they indeed have the intent to harm Zhou Mu, they will certainly return to find this poison needle, to destroy evidence!"
Pausing for a moment, the Medicine Immortal Old Man thought for a while and added, "However, this person might surprise you, might trouble you..."
Upon hearing this, a look of doubt flashed across Gu Changsheng’s bright face, yet she snorted and said, "No matter who it is, if they have the intent to harm my evildoer, I will never tolerate it!"
The Medicine Immortal Old Man nodded, pulling her into the shadows to hide!
Hidden in the pasture, Gu Changsheng’s expression was cold.
She never thought Qianji Poison would reappear around her one day, around her evildoer, she must see, who dares to pull the tiger’s whiskers!
This time, though the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s words were cryptic, not directly saying who it is, the person didn’t keep Gu Changsheng waiting for long...
