C393 Poisons and cathartics

Return a gift?

The vigilance in Murong He's eyes became even stronger.

Just by thinking about it, he knew that being called a gift by Feng Zhi was nothing good for him or the Mu Rong family.

On the other hand, when Elder Pill heard Murong Xing say that he was poisoned by Feng Zhi, his eyes showed some interest.

While Murong He was still on guard, Elder Pill had already arrived in front of Murong Xing. He grabbed Murong Xing's wrist and started to carefully feel his pulse.

Murong Xing naturally hoped that his poison would be cured, so he didn't resist at all. He only hoped that Elder Pill would find out what kind of poison he had been infected with and quickly cure it for him.

After all, rather than counting on Feng Zhi, the enemy of the Mu Rong family, he trusted his clan's Elder Pill more.

But what Murong Xing didn't expect was that Elder Pill immediately flew into a rage after taking his pulse. He then slapped his face, "Idiot, to think that you're a pill refiner!"

Murong Xing was stunned.

He never thought that Elder Pill would suddenly slap him.

After all, he was still working for the family, and had even been unlucky enough to be poisoned by Feng Zhi. It was one thing for the Elder Pill to not think of detoxifying him, but he actually hit him, where did the heavens come from?

Seeing Murong Xing like this, Elder Pill, who always had a calm demeanor, became even angrier. He couldn't help but slap the other half of his face, which happened to cause a pair of symmetrical palm prints to appear on his face. "You can't even differentiate between poison and laxatives, and you still have the face to call yourself a pill refiner? "You've completely humiliated the Mu Rong family!"

Everyone fell silent.

laxative?

If it wasn't from Elder Pill, Murong Xing definitely wouldn't have believed it.

However …

He had been in so much pain these days that he wished he could die. He did not have the urge to rush to the latrine. How could it be cathartic?

Seeing Murong Xing's silly look, Elder Pill felt a burst of anger.

He was usually obsessed with pill refining and was not a talkative person. It could be said that if it was possible, the Elder Pill would not speak for a whole year, but seeing Murong Xing's stupidity, he could not help but curse loudly. From this, it could be seen how angry he was.

However …

Elder Pill took a deep breath.

In his heart, he actually had some admiration for Feng Zhi as well.

What Feng Zhi had fed to Murong Xing and even the few storytellers was indeed laxative.

However, the laxative that Feng Zhi had given them was modified by ordinary laxatives, and could not really be called a cathartic.

He had already said before, improving the pill formulas was not an easy task. He had never seen so many people from the Mu Rong family, led by Elder Pill, wanting to improve the pill formulas for the top-grade antidote.

However, right under the eyes of Elder Pill, he saw Feng Zhi change that extremely common laxative.

One had to know, Feng Zhi was only seventeen years old.

As a result, Elder Pill sighed secretly in his heart.

If it was before, he hadn't considered Feng Zhi a threat, but after today, he had a vague bad premonition in his heart.

He had a nagging feeling that this time, Family Head and the Mu Rong family had deliberately set up, and it was very likely that they would not achieve the desired result.

However …

Elder Pill glanced at Murong He again, and could only silently shake his head.

Even if he was the most aloof person in the Mu Rong family, but in regards to the big matters of the family, it was still the Family Head who had the authority to speak.

Furthermore, the Mu Rong family had done so many things to deal with Feng Zhi, how could they allow them to stop halfway?

Thus, the Elder Pill did not say anything.

As for the others, after they heard Elder Pill's judgement, they also took Murong Xing's pulse. But just as Elder Pill had concluded, Murong Xing wasn't poisoned at all, and was only drugged with a modified laxative.

He hadn't tested the strength of the laxative recently. He only felt his abdominal pain, but he was sure that after today, he would be able to clearly feel how overbearing the cathartic was.

Seeing that, Murong He took a deep breath.

In fact, if Feng Zhi had really given Murong Xing some kind of extremely poisonous pellet, he would feel better.

But now, not only did Feng Zhi not feed him any poison, she had even fed him a laxative. In Murong He's eyes, this was undoubtedly Feng Zhi taking advantage of Murong Xing's incident to provoke the Mu Rong family.

She was just a silly little girl!

Murong He said hatefully in his heart.

However, Murong He was still a Family Head of the Mu Rong family and had been through a lot. He quickly suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Murong Xing, "Where is the letter?"

Murong Xing had wanted to hand the letter over to Murong He a long time ago, but since Murong He had not received it, the Elder Pill had pulled his pulse once again.

At this time, Murong He finally asked about the letter, there was no longer any hesitation, and he immediately passed the letter up.

But Murong He still did not extend his hand out to receive it.

He only waved towards the letter in Murong Xing's hand, then saw that the letter, as if he had grown wings, slowly flew up. When it flew to Murong He's front, a ball of flame suddenly soared out from Murong He's hand, enveloping the letter completely, yet not harming it in the slightest.

When the others saw this, they were not surprised.

Being able to become the Family Head of the Mu Rong family, his strength could not be doubted.

Only after the person who sent the letter had carefully burned it for around ten breaths of time did Murong He finally put the ball of flames away.

And he couldn't be blamed on Murong He being this cautious.

In fact, from what he knew, Feng Zhi was really a bad idea one after the other. No one knew what she would do when she became interested.

Even as a Family Head of the Mu Rong family, he didn't know how many old foxes he had exchanged blows with over the years, but he didn't dare to say that he was able to grasp hold of Feng Zhi's thoughts.

Since that was the case, he naturally had to be cautious about everything related to Feng Zhi.

Who knew if Feng Zhi would put something that she shouldn't have in the letter Murong Xing brought back?

Even if she really did release something that shouldn't have existed, such as poison, after being burned like this by his flames, no matter how strong the poison was, it would still turn into ashes and never harm anyone again.

Thinking about it this way, Murong He was even a little proud.

However …

If Feng Zhi was here, she would definitely send him a few words.

Such as "very silly and naive", "you guessed the beginning but did not guess the end", "I can't cure you for the small fry" and so on.

Just as Murong He was holding the letter in his hand, and taking out the letter's contents, his entire body froze.
