The thought of running away even crossed my mind.
But thinking of his experiences at Bright Peak and Wudang Mountain, Kumārajīva instantly suppressed the idea of escaping, and didn't even dare to use his internal energy.
After all, one learns from one's mistakes.
The first two times he and Pang Ban were poisoned, they were fine at first.
But problems arise when you start circulating your inner energy.
Naturally, when he met Chu Qinghe again this time, how could Kumārajīva dare to recklessly use his true energy?
However, beneath this apparent silence, Kumārajīva unleashed every insult he could think of at Murong Bo and Murong Fu.
After a short while, having drastically reduced his merits, Kumārajīva finally raised his head again.
When his gaze fell upon Chu Qinghe, Kumārajīva, recalling the vegetarian meals he had eaten earlier, suddenly sighed and said, "So, this humble monk is poisoned again?"
Hearing Kumārajīva's words, Chu Qinghe paused for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly flicked his finger.
The next second.
With a whooshing sound, before Kumārajīva could even react, he felt as if someone had gently flicked his Tanzhong acupoint, and something entered his body.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Qinghe's lazy voice rang out.
"It wasn't there before, but it is now."
Kumārajīva: "."
Upon hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Kumārajīva suddenly had the urge to raise his hand and slap himself.
Suddenly, I regretted not running away immediately.
Beside her, seeing Kumārajīva's grief-stricken appearance, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
At Qu Feiyan's laughter, the other women, including the Jellyfish Yin Ji, who had been holding back, also broke down and burst into laughter one after another.
The lively laughter of the orioles and swallows drew curious glances from the other diners on the second floor.
Even Chu Qinghe couldn't help but smile at Kumozhi's current state.
Then, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "Alright, if we're any later, we'll miss the Beggars' Sect gathering."
Then, Chu Qinghe said to Kumārajīva, "Would you please accompany us on this journey, Master?"
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Kumārajīva wanted to refuse, but thinking of the poison in his body, he could only sigh in his heart.
"Everything is as Young Master Zhao says."
After uttering those words, Kumārajīva couldn't help but curse Murong Bo in his heart once again.
Merit-1
A short while later, after the group boarded the carriage, Chu Qinghe, Shui Mu Yin Ji, and Lian Xing all wore ambiguous smiles as they looked at the upright Kumārajīva sitting opposite them.
That mocking look sent a chill down Kumārajīva's spine.
A moment later, as the carriage drove out of the city gate, Chu Qinghe spoke up: "I have a few questions for you, Master. After you answer them, I will detoxify you from the poison in a short while."
Kumārajīva nodded and said, "Young Master Zhao, please ask. This humble monk will certainly cooperate."
Seeing Kumārajīva's cooperative manner, Jellyfish Princess and Lianxing couldn't help but smile once again.
Chu Qinghe also had a smile on his face at this moment.
After all, if Kumārajīva can cooperate, it will save some effort and allow Chu Qinghe to avoid some trouble.
Immediately, Chu Qinghe spoke up: "Did Murong Bo send you here to capture us, or to ask you to help him take revenge?"
Upon hearing this, Kumārajīva shook his head and said, "No, it's not that. Elder Murong Bo only asked me to inquire about the identities of the people who injured Murong Fu."
Chu Qinghe asked, "Oh? That's all?"
Kumārajīva nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "A monk does not lie. Moreover, Murong Fu is already at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm. Anyone who can easily injure Murong Fu must be quite strong. Murong Bo knew this, which is why he dared not act rashly and asked this humble monk for help."
"In exchange for permission, Murong Bo agreed to allow this humble monk to spend three months reading the Murong family's martial arts treasury."
Kumārajīva was no fool; he was perfectly aware of Murong Bo's intentions.
Kumārajīva believed that with his current strength, investigating the person who seriously injured Murong Fu would not be a big deal, provided he did not intentionally make enemies.
What Kumārajīva didn't expect was that the person he was tracking was actually Chu Qinghe.
Thinking of this, Kumārajīva added, "Therefore, this time I simply wanted to help Murong Bo find out the identity of the person who injured Murong Fu, and I had no intention of harming Young Master Zhao and the others."
As he spoke, Kumārajīva's voice was firm, his eyes were resolute, and his face, radiant with precious light, was full of sincerity.
Chu Qinghe took in Kumārajīva's reaction but had no doubts.
After all, Kumārajīva wasn't stupid; the reasons behind his words were quite plausible.
Then, Chu Qinghe changed the subject, saying, "This time, besides Meng Chixing, the Great Yuan Kingdom also dispatched several Celestial Realm martial artists?"
However, when faced with Chu Qinghe's question, Kumārajīva's eyes narrowed slightly, but he replied without hesitation, "This humble monk does not know what Young Master Zhao means by this."
Seeing Kumārajīva's reaction, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Although unwilling, Chu Qinghe had no choice but to admit it.
Perhaps because they were used to sticking together for warmth in the harsh land, the loyalty of the Great Yuan Kingdom was far superior to that of the other countries.
Even monks like Kumārajīva remained loyal to the overall interests of the Yuan Dynasty.
