Xiaofan concealed the fact that he was poisoned because he didn't want everyone to worry about him. Of course, being in Japan now was already cause for concern among them. Although his abilities were not weak, if they knew he was poisoned, those guys would definitely raise a ruckus.
However, apart from his family worrying about him, in Japan, there was also soone else concerned about him, and that was Leng Yue.
By the next day, Bai Xue and Leng Yue discovered that Ruyu had left without saying goodbye. Upon investigation, they learned that she had left with the captain the day before, but later, only the captain returned. Actually, there was no need to ask; it was already clear that the captain had given the antidote to Caterpillar to bring back, and then let Ruyu leave with him.
Xiaofan did not conceal his actions and answered truthfully.
Bai Xue had no intention of bringing Ruyu back, for her heart was already no longer here. Leaving with Caterpillar was her happiness, perhaps.
As a forr good sister, Leng Yue naturally wanted to congratulate Ruyu properly, and incidentally bid her farewell over the phone.
When she made the call, Li San and Ruyu were already waiting to board at DJ International Airport.
"Hello, Leng Yue..."
"Congratulations, finally achieving what you've always desired."
"Ah, haha, thank you, Leng Yue."
"Hey, Leng Yue, long ti no see." Li San's voice also ca through the phone.
These two were really inseparable, even while waiting for a flight at the airport, nestled together using the sa earphones to listen to music.
It's the way of love, after all.
"Caterpillar..."
"An angry Caterpillar..."
"Oh yes, you go by Li San. I understand, don't bully Ruyu, treat her well. Her world is filled only by you," Leng Yue said gently.
"Certainly, we'll definitely hold our wedding celebration until Xiaofan and you return."
"I... The captain, he might take a long ti to co back," Leng Yue slowly said.
"Hmm? What do you an?" Li San asked in confusion.
"He really didn't tell you anything, huh." From Li San's puzzled tone, Leng Yue guessed that Xiaofan had kept it from him.
"What's going on?" Li San's tone now carried a hint of urgency.
"It's like this..."
Yes, Leng Yue spoke out, clearly telling Li San about Snow's conditions and Xiaofan's actions that night.
Ruyue initially hoped that after Li San returned, he would inform Xiaofan's other friends to help think of a solution.
The boarding announcent resounded, and Li San, having hung up, was still in a daze.
Xiaofan was also poisoned, at such a difficult ti, how could he just leave?
"Ruyu..." Turning his head, Li San gazed dumbly at the woman who had been the only one to make his heart race.
From that look, it seed as if Ruyu understood sothing.
"You want to stay?"
"I... can't leave him behind to go back," Li San replied, looking helplessly at Ruyu.
"..." Ruyu did not say anything, calmly watching Li San, waiting for him to continue.
"He was the first to treat as a brother, genuinely treating as a brother. Before eting him, I, Li San, was just a thief, a nobody of a thief. If it weren't for him, even now I would still be a thief. I don't understand the world's great matters, all I know is that if it weren't for him, I, Li San, would truly only be a Caterpillar. I would never have been involved in eliminating Red Butterfly, never done such earth-shattering deeds, never t Han, Ren Ying, these life-and-death comrades, and certainly wouldn't have t you."
"I know you are good brothers," Ruyu nodded.
Li San's eyes reddened slightly. From the first day they t to today, even when facing such big dangers, he never told Ruyu anything, opting instead to bring her back to a good life.
"Ruyu, I love you..."
"You want to stay, don't you?" Actually, she should've guessed that long ago.
"I'm sorry..."
"There's nothing to be sorry about, I'll stay with you then."
"No..."
"No?" Ruyu looked at Li San curiously. "If you want to send the antidote, why not have Mr. Tang help send it back?"
"Mr. Tang has exceptional skills, staying here, he can really help Xiaofan a lot, so..."
"But I don't know anyone over there, apart from you, I have nothing," Ruyu said anxiously.
"Don't worry, I have many brothers there... They'll take care of you well on my behalf," Li San continued to reassure her.
"I'd rather stay and be with you."
"Ruyu, you are my woman, you have to help out with sothing," Li San's tone took on a more serious note.
"I..."
"You must take the antidote back. I'll arrange for Li Kuo to pick you up at the airport, and don't worry, I'll stay hidden, nothing will happen. As Leng Yue said earlier, Snow still has an antidote, once Xiaofan receives it, I'll co back for you," Li San didn't want Ruyu caught up in everything.
"Pinky swear..."
"Mm? Pinky swear."
The announcent grew more frequent. As a woman, Ruyu shouldn't hold back a man from doing anything he wishes to do. As his woman, she should quietly support him. She should try her best to carry out what he told her.
Before passing security, they embraced tightly for a mont. Every step Ruyu took turned back three tis, but finally, she went inside the airport alone.
Li San adjusted his emotions, imdiately pulling out his phone.
"Hello, Mr. Tang, where did you reach? Turn back, pick up."
"What? You're not leaving?"
"It's a long story, I let Ruyu deliver the antidote back to Huaxia. That idiot Xiaofan got poisoned by the White Scorpion even before getting the antidote, truly an idiot, just trying to act tough. Hurry over here."
"What? I'll hear about it when I get there."
Xiaofan had previously ntioned that if Li San knew, then everyone around him would eventually learn of it.
Thus, Li San's next call went to Li Kuo.
Half an hour later, Ye Aotian's call reached Xiaofan.
It's no surprise that Han, Ren Ying, and the others all knew, because all the n did, though even Ren Ling was kept in the dark.
"Hey..."
"What's going on with you?" Ye Aotian said angrily upon hearing his grandson's voice.
"Grandpa? What's wrong?"
"What you asked to investigate, those poisonous plants are the original components for the White Scorpion's toxin, right? You know about it because you've tasted the White Scorpion poison, correct?" Ye Aotian asked in annoyance.
It turns out, the day Xiaofan ate the White Scorpion pill, he ticulously chewed it for a long ti, thereby roughly understanding the formulas for making scorpion poison.
