"Kidnapping a wedding? Seriously?"
Penghai from the Hidden Assassination Squad looked at Xiaofan in shock after hearing this.
After leaving Bai Xue's house, Xiaofan returned to the villa that Bai Xue had given him.
After changing Leng Yue into dry clothes, he quickly headed to the residence where mbers of the Hidden Assassination Squad were staying.
When they found out Leng Yue was a Japanese woman, there was a hint of doubt on their faces, but since she was brought by Ye Xiaofan, there should be no reason for suspicion.
"I never joke about serious matters," Xiaofan continued.
"Why? Just for a woman?" Penghai had to clear this up.
"Are you in or not? Just say it," Xiaofan asked quietly.
Faced with this dilemma, Penghai looked at the other brothers from the Hidden Assassination Squad.
Logically, their lives were saved by Xiaofan, but that didn't an they should just blindly follow him.
"Hey, you're here."
Just then, Li San, Tang Tianyou, Lin Hongbin, and others gathered at this residence.
"Hey, Leng Yue, long ti no see."
"Hmm? Who are you?" Leng Yue looked at the man greeting her in confusion, "Caterpillar?"
The voice was recognizable. It must be him, without a doubt.
"Angry Caterpillar, don't get it wrong," Li San quickly corrected. "Hey, since Xiaofan brought you here, that ans... hmm, you two are... hehehe."
Facing Li San's strange smile, Leng Yue suddenly felt her cheeks flush.
Actually, tonight, when Xiaofan told her not to call him captain anymore, Leng Yue knew he no longer considered her an outsider.
Although Li San's misunderstanding was quite romantic, Leng Yue was indeed hoping for that direction too.
However, the biggest regret was that the antidote hadn't successfully reached Xiaofan's hand.
"Brother, what mission have you gathered us for?" At this ti, Tang Tianyou also asked quietly, as the matter at hand was important.
"He said he wants to crash the wedding of the woman nad Bai Xue, who will be marrying Lingze in three days. What's your take?" Before Xiaofan could reply, Penghai spoke first and made the matter clear.
"What? Bai Xue is getting married? Why is she marrying? Why isn't she marrying you? What happened between you two? Did you fall out? Or is it because you're with Leng Yue, causing that princess to get jealous?" Li San asked in surprise.
"Li San, that's not the point, okay? The key issue is why we should crash this wedding and how it's related to the mission we need to complete," Penghai interjected again.
"Mission related? I never think about those issues," Li San replied calmly.
"What?"
"Don't worry, once he decides on sothing, there's always a reason. This guy never does pointless things. But crashing a wedding for the Celestial Emperor's granddaughter, this isn't a small matter. Just wait, the bigger the issue, the bigger the rewards for us."
Yes, Li San wholeheartedly believed in Xiaofan. Ever since he knew about this weird habit of his, he kept trying to adapt to it, even if he couldn't fully get used to it. As long as he had enough faith in him, even things that seed unacceptable could beco different once acted upon.
"I'll talk to you in detail later. Brother Tang, can you help check what's inside this pill?"
There are still three days; plans can be prepared slowly. However, the poison in Xiaofan is constantly threatening his life. Even if he can't find three-color figs to make an antidote, at least he should find a pill to suppress the effects of the White Scorpion antidote.
Tang Tianyou cos from the Tang Sect. His knowledge of herbs is no less than Xiaofan's and exceeds Xiaofan's in the art of poison.
Holding the pill, Tang Tianyou sniffed it...
"Mixed with several herbs, I can only identify approximately twelve ingredients, but the rest would need to be tasted to confirm. Is it edible?" Tang Tianyou knew just by slling that it was non-toxic, but consuming it would provide a deeper understanding of its components.
"Eat it..."
"Okay..."
"Hey, that..."
Seeing Tang Tianyou about to put the pill in his mouth, Leng Yue suddenly wanted to stop him.
However, Xiaofan quickly signaled with his eyes, indicating to Leng Yue not to speak.
Leng Yue was understandably anxious. The pills she carried were already limited. This item was precious and not easy to co by, without a cure, taking one pill might extend Xiaofan's life by three days.
That's why Leng Yue suddenly felt anxious a while ago. But Xiaofan didn't want everyone to worry.
anwhile, despite his doubts, Tang Tianyou saw Xiaofan's firm gaze and put the pill into his mouth.
After chewing a few tis, Tang Tianyou imdiately said, "This thing should match the secret recipe made by the White Scorpion. However, it lacks the sweetness of the three-color figs. If I'm not mistaken, these pills have a significant connection to White Scorpion. It seems it's crucial for its making to include residue from three-color figs. But compared to real antidotes, they're less transparent and more turbulent. I guess this: one such antidote is made from one-three-thousandth residue of three-color figs, and its effectiveness should suppress the spread of White Scorpion well."
Impressive. Not only Xiaofan silently praised these words, but Leng Yue also found Tang Tianyou's guess was close to accurate, which was indeed surprising.
Who would have thought that the odd geniuses around Xiaofan are each stranger than the last...
"So, it's not difficult to make this kind of pill, but it requires residue from three-color figs," Xiaofan followed up.
"Yes."
"Alright, got it, Brother Tang. In three days, without using three-color figs, can you make an antidote excluding the figs for ?"
"Should be possible, but... you..." Tang Tianyou suddenly realized sothing was amiss. The antidote was supposed to be brought back to the country, and Shen Zuimo was no longer in danger, so why was he so eager to research the antidote?
Yet, just as Tang Tianyou thought to ask his question, Li San, beside him, also seed to detect sothing fishy, looking at Xiaofan with unease and a frown, a sense of foreboding in his heart.
