Chapter 956

"Can it not be cured?" Yin Mei’s eyes held a trace of confusion. "Just tell me what herbs are needed. As long as it can detoxify, I will provide them."

Old Medicine Master glanced at Yin Mei indifferently. "Go ask your master who I usually save. Since I live here, and you have taken some care of me, suppressing the poison for you is already a favor. Besides, this poison was clearly administered by my little disciple. Do you really think any master in this world would humiliate their own disciple by poisoning them?"

"Who told you that I said Zhu Yanyi administered this poison?" Yin Mei’s expression changed. Naturally suspicious, she suspected there was a traitor among her people.

"You are suspicious of this and that. This poison is called Mu Lingxi. Only my disciple can formulate it. Aside from her, no one in the world knows how to make it." Old Medicine Master looked helpless, yet her eyes revealed pride. "My disciple always does strange things. The more difficult the case, the happier she is. The same goes for poison. The stranger the poison, the more she likes to study it. She can draw inferences from one instance. She is different from my second disciple. She likes poison purely for the sake of it. She does not use it solely to harm people, nor solely to save them. She acts on impulse. By the way, how did you offend her? She actually gave you Mu Lingxi. Several herbs in this poison are very hard to obtain."

It turned out Old Medicine Master was not pitying Yin Mei, but lamenting the rarity of the herbs in Mu Lingxi.

"How did I offend her? It was because of you that I offended her." Yin Mei’s eyes were particularly gloomy, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.

Hearing this, Old Medicine Master looked as if she understood. "I see. My little disciple must have known you kidnapped me, so she got angry and punished you."

Yin Mei’s face grew even uglier upon hearing this. Old Medicine Master did not feel awkward at all. Instead, she nodded. "Actually, this is quite good. It shows my little disciple is smart. She knew you kidnapped me and is venting her anger for me. Excellent, excellent."

"Are you two ever going to stop? I just want to detoxify." Yin Mei was furious. "Old Medicine Master, you had better detoxify me, or don't blame me for being rude."

"If you are rude, I will not detoxify you." Old Medicine Master had many ways to deal with such people. "Besides, if I had not agreed voluntarily, could you have brought me here? Yin Mei, you need to face reality. You offended my disciple, yet you expect me to show leniency. You are thinking too much."

Hearing these words, Yin Mei’s teeth itched with anger. If you don’t want to save me, just don’t. Why say such things to insult me? This was unbearable. However, he dared not do anything to Old Medicine Master. First, Old Medicine Master was still very useful. Second, if the Ghost Doctor could not cure his poison, he could only rely on Old Medicine Master.

Yin Mei did not want to say anything more to Old Medicine Master. He turned and left directly. He went to find the Ghost Doctor. Now, his only hope was that the Ghost Doctor could cure this damn Mu Lingxi.

"Oh? You mean Yin Mei failed to get Hua Tianyao to detoxify her?" Silver Fox elegantly finished the last stroke of his calligraphy.

"Yes," Old Ma answered respectfully.

Silver Fox put down his brush and went to wash his hands. "This Yin Mei only thinks of the present, not the future. If she did not kill Hua Tianyao, she should not have brought her back. Having brought her back but unable to kill her, she is like chicken ribs—tasteless to eat, but a pity to discard. This brings her no benefit."
