However, e to think of it, it’s strange that all those who suffered casualties were from among their evil cultivators, while the moners captured to take care of them remained unharmed.
Listening to Chief Zuo, Xiao Yi’s eyes flickered as he looked at the evil cultivators on the bed.
They’ve already ended up like this; how much worse could it get? He felt there was no point in them living; dying would be the best release for them.
"What does Master mean by this, keeping them even now?" he asked.
"The Master just instructed to find a courtyard to place them, nothing else," Chief Zuo replied.
This Xiao Yi, how has he changed after being away for a few days? If it were before, he would have already ordered his people to deal with the trouble. Why is he asking him like this now?
What is he thinking now? Does he intend to keep them?
"What do you think?"
Just as Chief Zuo’s heart was in conflict, unsure whether he wanted these evil cultivators dead or alive, Xiao Yi spoke again.
"This..."
Chief Zuo was troubled. What does he mean, what can he mean?
"Chief Xiao, perhaps the Master wants to find the person who poisoned them, maybe to obtain the antidote, who knows."
He couldn’t have any ideas of his own. If he expressed his thoughts now, Xiao Yi might really carry out those plans, and if things went wrong, he’d be blamed for it, wouldn’t he?
"Do you really think so?"
Xiao Yi’s eyes carried a hint of mockery as he fixed his gaze on Chief Zuo.
With the current state of these evil cultivators, even with the antidote, could their dislocated bones be reset? No matter how potent the antidote, it couldn’t achieve that, could it?
The Master wants to capture the poisoner not to save these evil cultivators, but simply to bring them into his fold, that’s all.
"Well, maybe. Chief Xiao, now that you’ve returned, those hidden scoundrels will surely be captured soon. I’m waiting for your good news," Chief Zuo plimented.
Now’s not the time to think about what he wants; it’s all about what the Master wants to do.
As for these evil cultivators here, with the moners captured to care for them, there’s no immediate need for him to worry.
The reason he’s always here is that he doesn’t want to go out, fearing he might get poisoned and end up lying with these evil cultivators. To put it simply, he’s scared.
"Hmph."
Xiao Yi let out a cold laugh, glanced once more at the evil cultivators on the bed, heavily flicked his sleeve, and turned to leave.
There was no need for him to e here. Once he enlists all the evil cultivators in the current patrol teams, he’ll certainly capture the shadowy figure and bring him directly to the Master.
"What’s he so proud of?"
Chief Zuo watched him stride away, curling his lips slightly.
Does he really think it’s that easy to capture those people? If it were, he and Ge Leader wouldn’t be out of favor with the Master in just a few days.
Saying they couldn’t catch those people would be fine, but the real pity is they don’t even know what those people look like. They managed to poison their patrol teams without a trace.
Even if they wanted to find them, they couldn’t.
Just wait and see; he wants to see how capable Xiao Yi is and if he can catch the person within a few days!
...
"I have a bottle here; maybe we can try it."
