148 Detoxification
The two of them stood in the courtyard, while the guards retreated.
Nie Lin stood in the middle of the courtyard as he looked at the two people in front of him. “Who are you two?”
The two of them had their faces covered with bamboo hats. Originally, Nie Lin wasn’t curious about their appearances. After all, they were just two testers, so he didn’t care what they looked like, but now, he was curious about their identities.
Kong Rui didn’t say anything. She turned in Chao Bai’s direction and waited for his answer.
Chao Bai didn’t seem to have any intention of answering Nie Lin. He only said indifferently, “Elder Nie, it’s better for you to focus on your health.”
Nie Lin didn’t mind Chao Bai’s lack of cooperation. He simply chuckled and said, “Alright! Since you know that I’m poisoned and that I’ve been poisoned for a long time, I’m sure you know the way to detoxify the poison!”
Hearing Nie Lin’s question, Kong Rui even looked forward to it.
However, in the next moment, Chao Bai poured cold water on both of them. “I don’t know.”
Nie Lin felt dejected and asked, “How can you not know?”
“Could it be that everything you just said was just a guess?” Nie Lin’s voice suddenly rose. Clearly, he felt that Chao Bai was lying to him.
However, before Nie Lin lost his temper, Chao Bai said, “It’s not a guess. It’s just that I happen to know the person who poisoned Elder Nie. As for the poison you were poisoned with, I’ve seen it before, but I need to study it more carefully.”
When he heard Chao Bai’s words, Nie Lin’s expression changed. “No! It’s impossible!”
Kong Rui didn’t know what Nie Lin was shocked about. She saw him staring fixedly at Chao Bai with alarm, as if he had seen a ghost.
Chao Bai shrugged and said indifferently, “It’s fine if you don’t believe me!”
“Since you don’t want to try my method, I can’t force you,” Chao Bai continued, clearly not planning to tell Nie Lin his method.
Kong Rui could clearly sense that Nie Lin was conflicted, but Nie Lin didn’t speak for a long time.
Chao Bai wasn’t in a hurry. He just waited quietly at the side.
Kong Rui sent a voice transmission to Chao Bai again. “What’s going on? Who poisoned him?”
There was already a person in Kong Rui’s mind, but she wasn’t sure if her guess was right.
Chao Bai didn’t answer Kong Rui. He only asked Nie Lin again, “What do you plan to do, Elder Nie? Or do you think it’s more convenient to kill the two of us directly?”
Not understanding why Chao Bai wanted to provoke Nie Lin at this time, Kong Rui frowned.
Nie Lin took a deep breath and said, “Alright! I believe you! Tell me what to do!”
Kong Rui felt Chao Bai heave a sigh of relief.
He said to Nie Lin, “The poison in your body has already seeped into your internal organs. It’s not easy to remove it overnight. Right now, I have a way to temporarily ease the pain when the poison acts up. I wonder if you’re willing to give it a try.”
Nie Lin was clearly dissatisfied with Chao Bai’s suggestion, but reducing the pain was good as well. After all, when the poison acted up, the pain was too torturous! Moreover, the frequency of the poison acting up seemed to be getting higher and higher. Nie Lin vaguely felt that he was about to lose control!
It was all that damn woman’s fault!
It was her fault that he had to be controlled and threatened by others!
Killing intent flashed in Nie Lin’s eyes, but in the next second, he said to Chao Bai, “Alright! I’ll listen to you, as long as it can temporarily relieve my pain!”
Chao Bai nodded. “Alright! I need a quiet room. In addition, prepare a pill furnace above the third-grade. I want to refine pills! Prepare a pen and paper. I’ll write down the names of the spiritual herbs I need. Get your subordinates to prepare them!”
