571 Can’t Collect Any For Now
After refining two batches of dicinal pills, she ca out to check on the commotion. She knew Ye Chenglin would not hand over the antidote pill so easily. Everyone knew this.
However, if Ye Chenglin had been wise enough to hand over the antidote from the start, gain everyone’s favor, and spend a few days at the Spirit Severing Cliff, she might have been able to overco this.
Unfortunately, Ye Chenglin was not an intelligent person. She could not understand simple logic like that.
“You don’t have the antidote pill anymore?”
An Jiuyue heard Ye Chenglin’s last sentence.
How could the antidote pill be gone? Why did Ye Chenglin return from the Spirit Severing Cliff if it was gone?
Everyone fell silent when they heard her question. What would happen to Zhao Wei’an if the antidote pill was gone? They knew it was not gone—Ye Chenglin was withholding it.
However, their master could not give in to a subordinate. Even they would not agree to this, let alone their master.
What was happening? How could a subordinate dare challenge her master? If this had happened in Daqing Kingdom, she would have been dragged out and beaten to death. Could she still live and maintain her arrogance here?
Just then, Yan Nuo returned in a hurry.
He approached Qian Jiyun and whispered, “Master, Uncle Wang doesn’t have any interdiate, high-grade antidote pills, nor any of higher quality.”
Qian Jiyun frowned and looked at Yan Nuo with his dark eyes.
Yan Nuo understood what his master ant and replied softly, “I asked Uncle Wang to collect so, but he couldn’t collect any either.
“According to Uncle Wang, many people have been poisoned by the Scaled Viper today. Our camp is lucky to have only one casualty, but we can’t collect any antidote pill for now.”
He had also asked Uncle Wang to collect the dicinal pills, but he could not collect any.
Yan Nuo had been waiting for him there. Otherwise, he would have returned to the camp earlier.
Of course, everyone heard what Yan Nuo said. They frowned.
Although Ye Chenglin was unaware of it, they knew that Zhao Wei’an, not Ye Chengzong, had been poisoned.
Zhao Wei’an would die if there was no antidote pill.
Everyone’s attention was on Ye Chenglin. Even Ye Chengzong stared at her.
“Where is the antidote pill?” Ye Chengzong asked again.
“It’s gone.”
Ye Chenglin was about to be sent back to the Spirit Severing Cliff. How could she hand over the pill? She snorted and turned her head away.
“What antidote pill? I threw that away long ago.”
“You—”
Ye Chengzong was furious. He raised his hand and was about to hit Ye Chenglin.
But what was the point of hitting her? He knew she would not hand over the antidote pill. He reckoned she probably knew it was dangerous to keep it with her and had secretly found a place to hide it earlier.
Ye Chengzong was correct: Ye Chenglin had indeed hidden the antidote pill.
Moreover, soone had seen Ye Chenglin hide the antidote pill. However, it was a passer-by from another camp, not soone from theirs.
That person had already dug out the antidote pill, brought it back to his camp, and fed it to the poisoned people.
