Chapter 1237 Someone Will Pay Anyway
"Junior sister!"
Hua Shiqing shouted excitedly, stopped running and turned back to Ye Linglong.
"Sister...don't..."
Before Ye Linglong finished speaking, Nightingale did not try to grab Hua Shiqing. Instead, she flashed to Ye Linglong's side, grabbed her neck and lifted her up.
Ye Linglong, who was covered in wounds, was lifted up easily like a chicken and had almost no power to resist.
Seeing this scene, Hua Shiqing screamed excitedly: "What are you doing! She is not a disciple of Penglai Island. This has nothing to do with her. Let her go!"
"Whether I will let her go depends on you." Nightingale said, "I know that although all of you disciples of Penglai Island are weak, you are very strong. You may not hand over the medicine even if I kill you, but if I kill her..."
"No!" Hua Shiqing denied his words before he even finished speaking.
"Whether it's okay or not depends on you." After Nightingale finished speaking, she tightened her grip with her fingers, and if you listened carefully you could hear the sound of bones cracking.
Ye Linglong's brows were furrowed, and her expression was very painful, but even so, she still gave Hua Shiqing a look that told him not to give it to her. She had a way.
Ye Linglong was waiting for the opportunity. After Hua Shiqing attracted Nightingale's attention, she would take the opportunity to summon the fortune-tellers in the space.
As soon as they come, they can immediately counterattack.
Unexpectedly, Hua Shiqing seemed to not understand her expression at all. She shouted excitedly: "No, no! I'll give you the pill. I beg you not to hurt her!"
As she spoke, she was afraid that Nightingale would go back on her word, so she hurriedly searched for the elixir in the ring. She was so panicked that she was afraid that Ye Linglong would not be able to hold on for even a second longer.
Ye Linglong frowned, preparing to call in advance, but as if sensing that she was about to make a move, Nightingale turned around and gave her a cold look.
It was this one glance that forced Ye Linglong to continue to endure and not take any action, but in the time it took her to take a glance, her fourth senior sister had already taken out the pill.
An exquisite purple box was placed on her palm. When she opened the lid of the box, a refreshing aroma of medicine wafted out. Even in this empty wilderness, the aroma did not dissipate with the wind, which shows how strong its fragrance is and how high its quality is.
"This is the Nine-bend Elixir that I am going to send to the Qiyang City Lord's Mansion. If you don't believe me, you can come and check it out. I am not lying to you. Let go of my Junior Sister, and you are not allowed to hurt her!"
Hua Shiqing excitedly yelled at Nightingale, "If she gets hurt any more, I will die along with the elixir, leaving you with nothing in the end!"
Nightingale stretched out his hand towards Hua Shiqing, and Hua Shiqing used her spiritual power to send the box in her hand over to him. The moment Nightingale received the box, he also let go of Ye Linglong's neck.
After accepting the box, he turned and left without saying another word.
Ye Linglong fell to the ground like a broken doll, his throat so painful that he could hardly speak.
"Junior sister, are you okay?"
As Hua Shiqing spoke, she stuffed a magic pill into her mouth and applied some spiritual liquid on her neck.
The effects of these things were very good, and Ye Linglong recovered quickly in a very short time.
"Are you feeling better? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? I'll find you some more medicine."
Hua Shiqing was about to look for medicine in the ring when Ye Linglong grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
"Fourth Senior Sister, why did you give him the pill? You clearly saw the reminder I gave you."
"Junior Sister, if you don't give it to us, even if we escape this time, we won't be able to escape the next time, and..."
Hua Shiqing lowered her voice and leaned close to Ye Linglong's ear.
"My real mission is not to deliver the Nine-Bend Elixir. The elixir that Qiyang City Lord needs needs to be refined on site, and I am going to refine the elixir for him. The Nine-Bend Elixir is just a cover. The disciples of Penglai Island are weak in combat, and handing over the Nine-Bend Elixir at a critical moment can save their lives, and it will not affect the mission."
That's right.
In fact, Ye Linglong guessed that there might be something wrong when Hua Shiqing insisted on her own way.
Because when Fourth Senior Sister made the decision, there was no hesitation or consideration on her face, nor any guilt or reluctance. She was only worried and afraid. She was afraid that something would happen to her.
This is also the reason why she didn't summon them until the end.
Since it's a performance, then accompany her to the end.
This also explained her previous doubts. Penglai disciples were weak in fighting and could be easily robbed. Why did they send disciples to deliver the medicine? Wouldn't it be safer for them to come and get the medicine?
Therefore, her real mission is to send herself.
Not to mention, although these Penglai disciples are weak in combat, they actually have many ways to save their lives.
The fourth sister saw that the journey was very difficult, but it seemed that they could resolve the danger every time.
"Fourth Senior Sister, did you guys spread the news that Penglai Island was going to send the Nine-Curved Spirit Pill?"
Hua Shiqing widened her eyes and looked at Ye Linglong in surprise.
"You can guess that?"
"You must have guessed that this trip would be dangerous, but you didn't know who took the order. If you just let others know about your whereabouts, another company would definitely come to stop you.
So, when you were hiding in the snake cave, the egret arrived. Otherwise, how could one family's order be grabbed by another family so promptly? These actions are all secret. "
Hua Shiqing nodded vigorously.
"Little Junior Sister, you guessed correctly. This was designed by Master to keep me safe this time."
Ye Linglong nodded.
"Fourth Senior Sister, help me up. Nightingale just got the Nine-Bend Elixir and will not come back to embarrass you. Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion now."
"good."
Hua Shiqing helped Ye Linglong up, and Ye Linglong summoned Nine-Tailed Fox and they sat on it together.
On the bird's back, Ye Linglong lay motionless and let Hua Shiqing treat her wounds. She flew while looking at the tranquil night sky, recalling the confrontation with the nightingale just now, and thinking about some things she had not yet fully figured out.
The cultivation level of the super genius in the late Mahayana stage is so strong that she has no chance of winning if fighting alone.
This made her realize that even though she had reached the late stage of fusion, it was still not enough. She could deal with ordinary people, but she was still too weak when facing super geniuses.
Ye Linglong took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"What's wrong, little sister? Did I hurt you?"
"No, Fourth Senior Sister's pills are getting stronger and stronger. Several of my bones were broken by them. After using your pills, the pain is almost gone in such a short time."
Ye Linglong said with emotion: "If only I had brought you with me all the time, I would have suffered less along the way."
"It doesn't matter. From today on, you will suffer less." Hua Shiqing said, "I will give you the best medicine. Someone else will pay for it anyway."
Hearing this, Ye Linglong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Well, someone else will pay for it anyway. Is this the arrogance of being an alchemist?
But soon Ye Linglong's smile disappeared.
"Fourth Senior Sister, I feel like something is wrong here."
