Chapter 1798: A pulse check and an antidote
Xue Yun calmed himself down before slowly raising his head and looking towards them. He said, "Just when everyone in our family was about to despair, something strange happened. Ling'er is back again."
"……What?!"
Nan Yan couldn't believe her ears.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at Xue Yun: "You said she, she came back from the bandit's lair?"
"yes."
“…”
Nan Yan and Zhu Feng looked at each other again.
Although the two men didn't say anything, they both understood in their hearts that the time Xue Ling was robbed by the sand bandits was obviously not the time Ye Zheng rescued them from the Hot Moon Crescent.
Zhu Feng said calmly, "Go on."
Xue Yun said, "At that time, we all found it incredible. Some even thought they saw a ghost. But it was clearly Ling'er who came back. She actually came out of the Hot Moon Crescent intact."
“…”
"It's just that her temperament changed drastically after she came back."
"How do you say that?"
"She's become reluctant to talk to anyone, especially her family. She won't talk to anyone except me. But whenever I ask her what happened during the time she was kidnapped to Thermidor and how she managed to escape unscathed, she refuses to speak."
“…”
"Only once did she say to me with a gloomy expression, 'Brother, there's no one in this world worth trusting.'"
"No one is trustworthy...?"
When Nan Yan heard this, she felt confused again.
But Zhu Feng remained calm.
Said: "What happened next?"
"Later?" Xue Yun smiled bitterly, his face revealing a deep sense of loss and helplessness. "Later, the family gradually lost patience with her. Sometimes they locked her up, and sometimes they simply ignored her."
“…”
"As a result, it was at this time that she disappeared again."
"Where did she go?"
"Everyone searched Bailong City but couldn't find her. Some people suspected she had escaped again and was looking for Ji Santing somewhere else. Others were worried that she had been kidnapped by the sand bandits again."
“…”
"But not everyone can enter Thermidor Bay. Besides, the last time she was captured, she came back intact. If she was really captured by the sand bandits, she should be able to come back."
“…”
"But she never showed up again."
“…”
"We can only keep sending people to search the surrounding area, hoping to find her trace."
“…”
"That's how it is."
Having said that, he raised his head and looked at Zhu Feng and Nan Yan, and said sincerely: "This is what I know. I have told you all. Now, can you tell me how Ling'er is doing? She, she is with you, what is she-"
It can be seen that he is still really worried about his sister.
Nan Yan said, "You don't have to worry about that. She's safe and sound with us, and no one has hurt her."
Xue Yun breathed a sigh of relief again.
He said: "I see that you two have clear eyes and a clear mind, and I know that you are not bad people."
Saying this a second time would be like flattery.
Zhu Feng had heard all sorts of corny flattery before, so he naturally didn't care. He just glanced at him indifferently. Xue Yun then said, "But how did you two meet her? Why is she with you? And why did she write this and ask you to come to me?"
Zhu Feng said: "She is one of ours, 'rescued' from the Hot Moon Crescent."
He emphasized the word "save".
Nan Yan naturally knew that Zhu Feng was still bothered by the fact that Xue Ling colluded with the Sha bandits and poisoned Ye Zheng. No matter what tragic love story he heard, his own people were the most important to him.
His tone did not soften.
But when Xue Yun heard this, he was shocked.
He was stunned and asked, "Thermidor? Was she really taken to Thermidor again?"
“…”
"Since she was captured by the sand bandits, why didn't she come back?"
“…”
"The last time, she came back from the Thermidor Crescent on her own."
“…”
"Then, you two—"
"You don't have to guess our identities."
At this time, Zhu Feng also knew that his identity as "Mr. Huang" was not enough to convince others, but for Xue Yun, from the moment Zhu Feng came in until now, all the atmosphere and actions were controlled by him. Once he said there was no need to guess, he really couldn't ask any more questions.
She just looked at them solemnly: "So, why did she write this and ask you to come to me?"
Nan Yan said, "We need you to give us a medicine."
"What medicine?"
"Marrow Cleansing Flower."
"Marrow Cleansing Flower?!"
Hearing these three words, Xue Yun's face changed suddenly.
He subconsciously glanced at Zhu Feng, then looked at them with a complicated expression, and stammered, "You, you want that thing, what do you want to do?"
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
Then he said, "We have a very important friend who has been poisoned, and the herbs needed to prepare the antidote are missing the Marrow Cleansing Flower."
“…”
"I heard that the Marrow Cleansing Flower is a medicinal herb that came from the Western Regions. It's almost extinct in the Central Plains, and only a few remain in Bailong City. As the largest medicinal herb dealer here, I believe your Xue family should have some."
“…”
"So I came to ask you for it."
"this--"
Xue Yun frowned and said, "Marrow Cleansing Flower, do you know what the Marrow Cleansing Flower does?"
Nan Yan said: "We know."
"Do you know...?"
Xue Yun glanced at Zhu Feng again, and Nan Yan said, "Someone told us that the petals, stamens, roots, stems, and leaves of the Marrow Cleansing Flower all have different toxins, and their toxins are unique, and they can all be used as medicine."
“…”
"What we need is the root of the marrow-cleansing flower."
“…”
Xue Yun frowned and just looked at them without saying a word.
After a long while, he said, "I can give you the medicine."
"real?"
Nan Yan was pleasantly surprised when she heard this.
Although their purpose of coming here was to find the Marrow Cleansing Flower, she was still surprised and a little worried when she actually got it. It all seemed too easy.
They had experienced so much ups and downs these days that they found it hard to believe.
Xue Yun said, "You saved Ling'er, and she asked you to come and ask for this, so of course I have to give it to her. However, Mr. Huang should abide by the agreement we just made."
“…”
Zhu Feng raised his head: "Hmm?"
Xue Yun looked at him and said solemnly, "Mr. Huang just agreed to let me take your pulse."
“…”
"Now, as long as I take your pulse once, I will give you the antidote."
