Chapter 399 Xiao's Stickers



Shi Zhong and others who saw this scene were all amazed.

He reached out and touched Wu Xingjie's sleeve, "It's true."

If they can touch someone, it means that the person is right in front of them and really exists.

Then the disappearance just now was neither magic nor an illusion.

"It's just some medicine to temporarily block your vision." Wu Xingjie waved his hand, spreading his five fingers. "Right now, my palms are releasing a medicinal power, but you can't see it. This is a method used by our pharmacists. So, when you get to the island, don't underestimate any ordinary person. Even if you capture them, don't just tie their hands and feet. Be sure to keep this sachet with you."

As he spoke, he asked Wu Heng beside him to open the package he was carrying and distribute the medicine bags that he had prepared urgently last night.

"Will this protect us from the effects of the drug?" Shi Zhong pinched the palm-sized brocade bag and brought it to his nose to smell it. The scent on it felt strangely familiar. "Hey, this smell is a bit like the stickers Mr. Xiao gave me."

"What?" Wu Xingjie, who was taking the medicine bag, was stunned.

Shi Zhong pulled out a sticker from his pocket. It had many small dots evenly distributed on it. "This was also given to me by Mr. Xiao's people this morning. They said it's the first thing to be applied to prisoners after they've been subdued on the island. I don't know what it's used for, but almost everyone has one."

Wu Xingjie took the sticker and saw that it looked like a normal mosquito repellent sticker with small dots on it. But when he leaned down and smelled it, he was shocked. "It's medicine!"

Wu Heng, who was standing by, also took a piece and examined it. His brows were also furious at this moment, and he said in a low voice, "Besides, the medicinal properties are more diverse than those in the brocade capsule, and the preventive effects are also greater."

They both thought of the machine that tested the pharmacist's talent level, which was also made by Xiao.

When they originally purchased the device, they were only impressed by the advancement of technology and the convenience of the equipment. But now when they think about it, to rely on a machine to do all these things, it is necessary to collect a large amount of drug biological information, and even the pharmacist must be fully aware of how to forge and learn.

Now, this skill, which is said to require time to forge and hard practice to achieve, has been perfectly replicated by Xiao's biological company.

Thinking of this, Wu Xingjie felt his heart sinking and his limbs felt cold.

Wu Heng even stood up and walked towards the front board.

Seeing that something was not right, Shi Zhong hurriedly chased after them. When he reached the deck, he saw the two men confronting each other.

"This, your company's product?"

The young man raised the sticker in his hand and said directly, "You have obtained the pharmacist's cultivation method."

Given the height difference between them, Xiao Yunting lowered his eyes slightly to glance at the thin sticker, and then said without hesitation, "Yes, I got it a long time ago."

Otherwise, these medicinal substances cannot be produced.

Hearing this, Wu Heng pinched the sticker in his palm with such force that he crumpled the paper in the blink of an eye. "You..."

Seeing that he was about to explode, Xiao Yunting remained indifferent and further explained, "It's not difficult to cultivate as a pharmacist. At least it's easier than practicing ancient medicine or ancient martial arts."

Wu Heng: “…”

He knew this. When the Immortal Mountain inheritance came, the pharmacist was not included in the inner sect because this was an outer sect technique that the Wu family had comprehended themselves. The difficulty of practicing it was reduced and the threshold was much lower.

But this is not a reason for him to condone the plagiarism of his own skills.

"You think I stole it?" Xiao Yunting saw through his thoughts almost immediately. Because of Ye Lan's relationship, he patiently shook his head and explained, "All the drug formulas were purchased by the company from the Huang family of Peach Blossom Island at a high price. They are willing to sell them to us for business purposes, and we are responsible for buying them. It complies with business regulations. As for the grudge between your Wu family and the Huang family, it is not within the company's consideration."

After all, he is a businessman, and before he met Ye Lan, he had no connection with the Wu family, and he would not lose a business for the Wu family.

And Wu Heng also discovered the key to the problem.

In the final analysis, it was because his father, young and frivolous, founded Peach Blossom Island, thinking only of strengthening the Medicine Sect. He misjudged people and brought the Huang family into the sect, which led to all kinds of cause and effect cycles.

Shi Zhong, watching from the side, felt a bit of sympathy. He stepped forward, patted the boy on the shoulder, and said comfortingly, "Actually, Mr. Xiao's company rarely sells its products to the outside world. Most of them are used to help the country solve some major problems. This is the first time we've seen stickers like this."

If the market has already been circulating on a large scale, they would not make a fuss about getting on board today.

Wu Heng's brain, which had just been boiling, gradually cooled down.

He looked down at the stickers that he had messed up, remembering that this operation was for the Wu family to recapture Peach Blossom Island. The man in front of him controlled the means of livelihood of the Medicine Clan and could easily make huge profits, but he did not cut off the livelihood of the Medicine Clan.

And what qualifications do I have to stand here and accuse others?

As his eyes fell, his sight inevitably swept across the girl who was enjoying the sea breeze not far away. The shame and self-humiliation he felt at that moment made him unable to face it anymore. He could only utter, "I'm sorry..."

Then he dived back to the stern of the ship.

Shi Zhong called out twice, but when he saw that no one turned around, he couldn't help but sigh and turned back to give Xiao Yunting an awkward smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, I didn't explain it clearly at first."

Xiao Yunting shook his head and didn't take it to heart.

After both of them left, he walked back to his original position and sat down next to the girl. He put the rubber band he had just taken in the palm of his hand, and used his big hand to gather the girl's long hair little by little, and tied her hair up for her a little clumsily but carefully.

Only after finishing it did Ye Lan turn his head slightly, his cold eyes curved, "Thank you."

After saying that, she leaned over, pulled him by the collar, and kissed the corner of his lips.

The girl had a faint fragrance on her body, which was not perfume or medicine. It was a kind of cool fragrance different from the sea breeze, like the fragrance coming from the orchid valley. Every time Xiao Yunting smelled it, he had the urge to develop this fragrance and carry it with him all the time.

So he deepened the kiss amid the sound of the waves, and only let go after a while, his voice a little hoarse, "Won't you say something for him?"

"Hmm?" Ye Lan leaned against him. It took her a while to realize who he was talking about. She couldn't help but laugh, "Aren't you jealous yet?"

She brought up the previous phone call and joked about it.

Xiao Yunting tightened his grip around her waist, but did not deny it.

Ye Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, the man's figure reflected in her cold, black and white eyes. Her tone became serious as she said, "Ten years ago, I owed the Wu family three things. Now I'm here to settle these karmic causes. It has nothing to do with others. As for Wu Heng, he was indeed young and impulsive. You have already shown mercy."

They are all the same kind of people, who are in high positions but have cold hearts. It is extremely difficult for them to care about each other and make concessions to each other.

If an insignificant person ran up to her and shouted at her today, she would probably do something even more ruthless than Xiao Yunting.

And she also knew very well that the other party's tolerance was because of her.

So there is no need to explain, she will never stand on Wu Heng's side.
