158 An Antidote For All Sorts Of Poisons

When Kong Rui heard Nie Yin’s voice, her eyes flickered as she suddenly thought of something.

She pulled Chao Bai back two steps and sent a message to Chao Bai with her divine sense. “Nie Yin might be able to help me!”

“What do you mean?” Chao Bai looked at Kong Rui quizzically.

Didn’t Kong Rui hate Nie Yin?

!!

Moreover, from what Nie Yin had said earlier, he might have poisoned Princess Wen Qiong.

How could he help?

Chao Bai looked at Kong Rui in confusion, only to see that Kong Rui’s face was filled with cunningness.

Chao Bai sent a message with his divine sense. “What are you going to ask him to do? What can I do?”

Chao Bai was indignant that he couldn’t help, so he specifically asked.

Kong Rui thought for a moment and said, “Wen Qiong’s life is probably in Nie Yin’s hands.”

“If we don’t want to let Wen Qiong die, we have to let Nie Yin know that Wen Qiong is still useful!”

Kong Rui thought for a moment before saying, “Do you remember what Nie Yin said about Spirit Mountain?”

“I want to borrow something from you!” Kong Rui said. Before Chao Bai could react, she began to search his body.

Chao Bai had never been treated like this before. He kept dodging, making the two of them look like they were messing with each other.

At this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside. Kong Rui’s hand was still tightly gripping Chao Bai’s collar, and their bodies were tightly pressed together.

The guards at the door and Nie Yin, who was standing in the middle of the door, were stunned by the scene in the room.

Seeing this, Kong Rui immediately retracted her hand and didn’t forget to tidy up her clothes.

Chao Bai stood rooted to the ground in a daze and didn’t react for a long time.

Afraid that they would pry into the First Elder’s secrets, the guards didn’t dare to watch further and lowered their eyes.

Nie Yin sized up the two strange people in bamboo hats and wondered what secrets they were hiding.

“Who are you two?” Nie Yin asked the two of them.

Kong Rui turned her head in Chao Bai’s direction and replied in a rough voice, “We’re from out of town. We’ve just arrived in the capital.”

“You two just arrived?” Nie Yin clearly didn’t believe it.

“Why are you two locked up here by the First Elder? What are you two plotting?” Nie Yin asked coldly.

Kong Rui wasn’t intimidated by Nie Yin’s question. She coughed heavily before saying, “We’re alchemists who were invited by the First Elder to refine pills that can cure all poisons.”

“An antidote for all sorts of poisons?” Nie Yin’s expression darkened. “Who is he trying to detoxify?”

“Who is this pill for?” Nie Yin asked.

Kong Rui shook her head and continued, “We don’t know whose poison the pill will be used to detox, but I heard that it’s very urgent. Perhaps this person’s poison will flare up soon.”

When he heard Kong Rui’s words, Nie Yin’s expression became even warier.

“Can the pill you refine really cure any poison?” Nie Yin probed again.

Kong Rui nodded and said, “The First Elder said that the poisoned person’s entire body is twitching, and the person’s entire body feels like it’s being bitten by thousands of insects.”

“In addition, the blood spat out by the poisoned person is purple-red. It’s different from the symptoms of ordinary poisoning.”

“Ah! Most importantly, the person who was poisoned was poisoned recently. Moreover, it’s a colorless and odorless poison!”

Kong Rui described all the symptoms reflected by the little phoenix just now and didn’t forget to add exaggerated details.

When Nie Yin heard Kong Rui’s words, his expression almost became contorted.

Was the First Elder trying to replace a way to detoxify Wen Qiong?

Why?

Could it be that the First Elder really had his own plans when he said last time that he didn’t agree with him making a move on the Spirit Mountain?

Could it be that he wanted the position of the Nie family’s patriarch?
