Chapter 40 Could he be in cahoots with the Poison Scorpion?!



If Ning Zhishui had not told you about Bai Lianxin's character earlier, Ning Cheng and Ren Muqing might have liked her when they saw her.

People tend to like weak and harmless people or things. The purer they are, the more people want to get close to them. This is also the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.

But he had already heard Ning Zhishui's warning, and he had preconceived notions about her, so when he looked at Bai Lianxin again, he no longer trusted her.

I always feel that her eyes are vague and she seems to be pretending to be pitiful.

Unlike Ren Fei who still had doubts, Ning Cheng and Ren Muqing no longer had any doubts about their daughter.

Because everything she said came true.

The way her son was now unconscious after being poisoned by the scorpion venom was exactly what she had said.

The same time, the same Frost Wind Valley, the same scorpion venom... the time, place, people and events all match up. This can't be just a coincidence.

So, if my daughter says Bai Lianxin is not a good person, then she is definitely not!

"How did you remind her? Did you speak out loud?" Ren Muqing stared at her and asked.

"Yes, I called him and told him to be careful." Bai Lianxin's eyes moved, and then she nodded, looking a little afraid.

Something is wrong, she must be hiding something.

Ren Muqing narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since you saw the poisonous scorpion first, did you push him away and draw your sword to fight him at the same time?"

This is a normal person's reaction. If you have the power of force, you can go up and fight while giving warnings.

If force is not an option, then use verbal warnings and a push to keep people away from danger.

No matter how weak Bai Lianxin looks, she is a cultivator who came here to gain experience, not an unarmed mortal!

"I……"

Bai Lianxin didn't expect her to ask so many detailed questions and was speechless for a moment.

"She might have been too panicked at the time, and she hugged Chuanzhu after being reminded." Zhu Heng thought for a while and said.

He was standing on the other side of Ning Chuanzhu at the time. Although his attention was on looking for the poisonous scorpion, he looked at the two of them the first time after the incident.

At that time, Bai Lianxin was hugging Ning Chuanzhu.

I don’t know the specific situation, but it was definitely not pushed away.

Ning Cheng and Ren Muqing's eyes turned cold at the same time. "So it was because you hugged him that he had nowhere to hide and was poisoned by the scorpion?"

Ren Muqing was almost laughing out of anger as he spoke.

It's like your friend sees a sword about to stab your heart from behind, but instead of pushing you away or trying to stop the murderer, he just hugs your arms and holds you still.

It's outrageous.

Could this Bai Lianxin be in cahoots with Duxie?!

Could it be that the poisonous scorpion has become a spirit?

Bai Lianxin panicked and stammered to clarify, "No, I didn't. I just wanted to remind him..."

"Uncle and aunt, let's find a way to detoxify Chuanzhu first. His poison cannot be delayed." Zhu Heng looked at Ning Chuanzhu and reminded him with some concern.

"I'll take him away first and find the antidote. You guys should leave here as soon as possible."

Ren Muqing said this and summoned the flying boat without looking at them again.

Bai Lianxin, we'll settle this later.

Ning Cheng carried Ning Chuanzhu on his back and boarded the flying boat, and the three of them quickly sailed away.

They went back along the same route they came. They knew there was no danger along the way and they were not far from the exit, so they dared to leave on the flying magic tool.

Otherwise, people in the forest generally dare not use flying magic tools directly, so as not to become targets of some flying monsters.

When he could no longer see the people below, Ren Muqing quickly fed the Jie Ling Pill to Ning Chuanzhu.

It takes some time for the medicine to take effect. During this time, Ren Muqing contacted Ren Fei and the others to report that he was safe.

After reporting a circle, Ning Chuanzhu slowly opened his eyes.

It only took about an incense stick of time from poisoning to detoxification, which was very fast. The timely detoxification did not cause any damage to Ning Chuanzhu's body, but the wound on his neck was still there.

But this minor skin injury is nothing to a monk.

"Dad, Mom..."

He regained consciousness and sat up straight, only then realizing that he was on a flying boat. "You saved me?"

He reached out and touched his neck, and could still remember the stinging sensation.

"Your poison has been cured, but now I have something to ask you. Please tell me in detail how you were poisoned and what Bai Lianxin did at that time."

Ren Muqing asked him in a deep voice.

Ning Chuanzhu didn't understand what she meant, but he recalled, "I was walking when Lianxin next to me screamed and told me to be careful, then she jumped into my arms. I just turned my head to look to the side and was injured by the poisonous scorpion."

"As expected, I fell into your arms. You are a woman more poisonous than a scorpion."

Ren Muqing sneered when he heard it.

Just this one action is enough to prove that it is indeed not a good thing.

"I think the scorpion was most likely heading for her, but she noticed it first and hid in your arms, so the scorpion hurt you." Ning Cheng said as he controlled the flying boat, "Son, you saved her from disaster."

The cause and effect are not difficult to guess, it's a very simple trick.

But the question now is whether my son will believe it.

Both of them looked at Ning Chuanzhu.

Ning Chuanzhu's face darkened slightly. He did not rush to respond, but thought about what they said.

The position where the poisonous scorpion pounced, the position where Bai Lianxin stood, and the way she seemed to subtly turn her body when she hid in his arms.

It was dark in the cave at that time and it was difficult to see anything, but it was precisely because of this that my senses became more acute.

She turned her body as if trying to avoid the poisonous scorpion intentionally.

"I see."

Ning Chuanzhu laughed softly, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Ning Cheng and Ren Muqing both breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately...my son is not as silly as Ren Fei.

"I know what to do about her, but Dad, Mom, why did you come here all of a sudden? Did something happen?"

Ning Chuanzhu did not mention Bai Lianxin again because this person was no longer worth his time and effort.

Because of the formation in the cave, the message was disjointed and he still didn't know why his parents were so anxious to find him.

"You might not believe us if we tell you." Ning Cheng smiled bitterly. "We came here because we knew you would be poisoned by scorpion venom in a cave in the Frostwind Valley, and that your mental state would be affected because you couldn't buy the antidote and were delayed in treatment."

As expected, after he finished speaking, he saw Ning Chuanzhu with a puzzled look on his face.

"Let me tell you, this matter has to start with your sister..."

The three of them returned to Huying City. The first thing they did was not to go home, but to go to several pharmacies to ask if they had any elixirs.

This is what Ning Chuanzhu meant, because he wanted to verify a problem.

Jie Ling Dan is not an extremely precious and rare medicine, and some stores in the city have it.

If that is the case, then why in the original story was he delayed in receiving treatment because he couldn't buy the antidote?

There seems to be a flaw here. If he can figure it out, he will be able to accept the fact that his younger sister is the reincarnation of a powerful person.
