Just near the corner of his lips, a small piece of torn skin was striking and obvious.
Anyone with a little knowledge would know where that wound came from.
In the entire Liu family compound, who could leave a mark on his mouth?
Liu Yusheng wanted to cry. No one else was to blame.
She brought disaster to herself!
She impatiently attempted to jump down to rummage for medicine, wanting to cover the wound as much as possible.
The man smothered a laugh and wrapped his arms around her firmly.
"Feng Qingbai, quickly let me go. I want to go and find medicine!"
"There's no need to go."
"If I don't go, you're looking for my dad chasing and beating you with a broomstick!"
Seeing that his little girl was downright anxious, Feng Qingbai felt helpless. "I will go and fight with Wei Zi later."
"…"
Liu Yusheng calmed down.
That was a good idea.
It wasn't impossible to suffer a small cut at the corner of the mouth from fighting.
Feng Qingbai buried his head in the neck of the girl and smirked silently again.
She believed everything he said, and was so well behaved.
What to do?
He wanted to bully her further.
He completely circled the girl with both hands and gently kneaded the soft and boneless spaces of her palms.
"That man appeared in Xuzhou and followed us all the way here. He's also knowledgeable about poison. If I guessed right, he's also a healer." Feng Qingbai paused, "Moreover, he gave you a Hundred Poison Pill. If it's genuine, his claim that it's something everyone in the corners of the world wants but can't get is true. You can't find it in the market. This pill can detoxify a hundred poisons. The most precious part of it isn't that, but once you take this medicine for at least a year, you no longer have to fear any poison."
Liu Yusheng's eyes widened in surprise. "No more fear of poison within a year? There is such a medicine?"
Feng Qingbai nodded. "As far as I know, this kind of detoxification pill is only available from the Baicao Valley."
"You mean he's the Baicao Valley person we have been unable to find?!" Liu Yusheng almost jumped up.
"If I'm not wrong, he should be."
"Then how why did he follow us to Xinghua Village?"
Feng Qingbai fiddled with the girl's slender fingers and smiled meaningfully. "Because this person is very interested in intractable diseases."
"…So, Mo Feng attracted him?"
The man nodded.
Liu Yusheng was completely speechless.
So this man – knowing that person was from Baicao Valley and the one he has been searching for, who has the greater possibility of curing Mo Feng's poison – still arrested him for Wei Zi to interrogate?
What brain circuit did he have?
The man seemed to have seen through her slander and said, "He won't leave."
"…"
"Since I caught his weakness, he deserved his bad luck." Didn't he?
In the environment he lived in, the weak stood as an easy prey to the strong.
However, he restrained speaking too harshly, lest he scared his little girl.
He actually dreaded letting her witness his darkness or even letting her know about it.
She just needed to live in the bright sunshine and be happy.
"Then don't bully him too hard. With him, Mo Feng can gain more hope."
"Okay." Feng Qingbai smiled. How could people who came from the Baicao Valley easily get bullied?
Especially that man.
Meanwhile, in a room in the second courtyard.
Wei Zi, Wei Bai, and Wei Hong were sitting woodenly in rows at the table.
Opposite them, the man leaned back in his chair lazily with a cavalier smile on his face. Nevertheless, the words that came out of his mouth were caustic.
"I told you not to be too rude. Look at what you guys did just now. You actually used a damp towel to cover my face. I hate the feeling of being unable to breathe. You forced me to resist. Everything has now turned ugly, right? We could have sat down nicely and talked about what happened. Why did you have to be so rough? Why did you have to force me to fight? Don't you agree?"
The three people sitting opposite didn't answer. They coldly looked at the man as if he were the devil. It wasn't that they didn't want to talk, but they couldn't.
Wei Hong brought the man here and began interrogating. Instead of answering nine of her questions, he continuously raved about their master being cold-blooded.
Wei Bai directly soaked a towel and covered his face.
Then something struck them. Their entire bodies went limp and had no strength to even lift a finger.
No one expected this man to use medicines. God knew they didn't even know when he used it.
They thought this man would immediately flee once he got free. Against all odds, not only did he not run, but also there and rebuked them.
It was the first time they suffered such a suffocation, and it was no less than humiliating to a hidden guard.
Wei Hong's eyes grew colder. If only she could move, she must cut this guy's tongue!
The closed door opened with a creak.
The man who was castigating enthusiastically stiffened and subconsciously tried to scurry out.
Too late.
It was his turn to freeze.
The sound of soft footsteps slowly entered with no hurry.
As the footsteps approached, the dark purple brocade robe greeted the man's eyes. A white and slender hand pulled the chair beside the table slightly, and he took a seat. Long, narrow and deep eyes looked at him without a wave of emotion.
Just being watched by him made someone tremble in his boots. His aura was crushing him to death!
The man wailed deep inside. I knew it was him!
Everytime, he got defeated in his hands!
He'd been wandering around the world for so many years and suffered all plagues from the same person!
This man was his nemesis, right?
The man couldn't voice out all his bitterness.
"I say, can you make a little noise when you walk? It's very scary when you appear so suddenly like a ghost, you know!"
Though he couldn't move, he still could curse. Otherwise, he'd suffocate.
It was truly unbearable.
Someone tapped his acupoint, so he was unable to move. All his little tricks were useless.
He had a hunch that this man had long since seen through his identity. Otherwise, how could he have restrained him just right every time without resistance?
"Let's talk." The man's tone was lighter than his eyes.
"Talk about what?" The man played dumb.
The corners of Feng Qingbai's lips curled up. His eyes narrowed lightly, and a monstrous aura emanated from him.
"I'm still in the mood to listen to you now. When I'm not in the mood, you may never speak again."
"…" The man wanted to curse. This man was really pinching him to death.
How could there be such a person in this world? He was peerless but he always outshined him at every turn!
Seeing that the man was about to stand up and leave, he quickly shouted, "Don't-don't. Let's talk! Let's talk, okay? Why don't you have any patience? Can't you let me brew my emotions and deliberate my words?"
Feng Qingbai stopped from rising and slowly leaned back on his chair. He swept the man a faint gaze and cocked his ears to listen.
Nevertheless, his every gesture revealed a message to the man: He wasn't in a good mood and was running out of patience. If he dared to play tricks once more, he would never have a chance to speak again.
"I'm a doctor. I heard that the Little Divine Doctor of Xinghua Village has good medical skills, so I wanted to come and test her out. Hence, I drugged myself and came to find her for the poison's cure."
Speaking of this, the man again sulked bleedingly again. He didn't expect that the little girl was also a black-hearted, not moving to shade him to reveal a breach, a big loss of face. Without batting an eyelid, she insidiously caused him to betray his intentions and lost his precious face.
