Chapter 58 Mandragora
"Junior sister, what do you know?" Su Xun asked in confusion.
Nan Xiao smiled slightly and said confidently: "I know who his allies are."
"Who is it?" the two asked.
Nan Xiao walked to the windowsill and brought a pot of peony flowers in full bloom to the two of them: "Its kind."
Su Xun's face was full of question marks: "Junior Sister, what do you mean by that?"
He stared at the peony for a long time but couldn't see anything.
Su Xun had not experienced the assassination tonight, so he naturally didn't understand.
A hint of understanding flashed in Qiao Yue's eyes, and she looked at Nan Xiao with pride.
Junior sister’s mind works really quickly.
This was probably what Elder Li meant when he said, "A new brain is just a good thing." Thinking of this, Qiao Yue glanced at Su Xun with disdain. She used to think Fourth Junior Brother was quite clever, but now... he looked like a fool.
Idiot Su Xun: “…………”
Second Senior Sister, what's with that look of disdain in your eyes? Just tone it down!!!
Others are still here.
Nan Xiao paced slowly around the flower pot, his expression serious. "What I mean is, his ally isn't a human, but a spirit-transforming flower."
"Second Senior Sister, do you still remember the flowers you saw?"
Qiao Yue nodded.
She was now more and more certain that she had not seen it wrong.
"Second Senior Sister, you can probably describe what that flower looks like now."
Qiao Yue frowned and thought, then walked to the desk and began to describe the scene that flashed by.
After finishing the painting, Qiao Yue handed the pattern to Nan Xiao.
"Junior Sister, it's probably like this." Qiao Yue pondered, "But I can't remember the color clearly. It seems to be pink, purple, or white?"
Su Xun and Nan Xiao got together and studied the drawings.
"It looks like a morning glory..."
Su Xun muttered to himself, then nodded affirmatively, "It's the same as what I saw on the roadside. It's definitely morning glory."
Nan Xiao: “…………”
Qiao Yue punched Su Xun on the head and said unhappily, "You look like a morning glory to me."
Su Xun covered his head with his hands, his eyes full of resentment. He was just expressing his thoughts.
He was a swordsman and usually didn't like reading books about flowers and plants, so he was lucky enough to know about morning glories.
If he were asked to recognize a spirit sword or a demon beast, he would definitely be able to recognize it at a glance.
"Junior Sister, you are an alchemy practitioner and usually read a lot of books about flowers and plants. Do you have any ideas?"
"The petals are like trumpets, and they really do look like a morning glory." Nan Xiao muttered.
It's over. Fourth Senior Brother's words have led her into trouble.
She felt the same way.
"Look, look..."
Su Xun had just said a few proud words when Qiao Yue gave him a look and the latter shut up silently.
"Junior sister, please continue."
Su Xun: “…………”
Biased, blatantly biased.
He said that the morning glory would be beaten, and the junior sister said that it was okay.
He's going to make a scene.
"Whether it is true or not, Fourth Senior Brother has provided a very good idea." Nan Xiao blinked at Su Xun, as if to say, Fourth Senior Brother, I agree with you.
Su Xun received the signal and felt much better.
Junior sister is still the best.
Qiao Yue selectively ignored their little actions.
Nan Xiao took the blueprint and said slowly:
"As far as I know, flowers like morning glory, iris, yellow hibiscus, gardenia, and datura...the petals of these flowers gradually spread upward from the base, with slightly curled edges, forming an overall funnel or trumpet shape."
“If you don’t know the details and just look at the pictures, they look pretty similar.”
Su Xun: "Do we need to check all of this?"
Nan Xiao shook his head.
She felt like she was missing a very important point.
As I thought about it, I became lost in thought.
Su Xun wanted to ask again, but Qiao Yue covered his mouth.
Didn’t you see that Junior Sister was thinking about something?
No vision.
Su Xun: “…………”
He went back and complained to Master!!!
Nan Xiao stared at the pot of peonies in a trance, and her hand unconsciously touched its petals.
Suddenly, she slapped the table, frightening Su Xun so much that his body trembled.
"What's wrong, little sister, what did you think of..."
"I know what kind of spirit that flower is."
The worry in Nan Xiao's eyes vanished, replaced by a bright smile. She spoke with a touch of excitement, "Although these flowers are all somewhat poisonous, only the datura is so toxic that it can cause hallucinations and coma."
"Similar to the situation of those abnormal people."
Qiao Yue's eyes lit up instantly, as if stars were twinkling in her eyes.
When she thought about it carefully, it was true.
"Junior Sister, do you have a solution?"
"Yes, the Anti-Poison Pill will do." Nan Xiao knew Qiao Yue was anxious, so he said bluntly, "But this ordinary Anti-Poison Pill won't work. I once read in a book that to detoxify the datura flower, you need the stamens of the datura flower as a catalyst, and then mix it with the Anti-Poison Pill and refine it over a fierce fire for three days and three nights. That's how you get the Anti-Poison Pill."
Su Xun asked, "Then where can we find the Datura flower?"
Tianhe City is so big. Even if they know what kind of evil spirit is harming people, where can they find its trace?
"Don't look for it," Qiao Yue said calmly with a cold look in her eyes, "it will come to find us."
Nan Xiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted:
"Second Senior Sister, this is very dangerous."
Even if the demon spirit failed this time, there will definitely be a next time, and Second Senior Sister is the best bait.
But this is too dangerous, she doesn't want to see her second senior sister put herself in danger.
Qiao Yue chuckled softly, "Junior sister, don't underestimate me. I've come through safely so many times, and you still think it's all luck."
Nan Xiao pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Okay, thank you, Junior Sister, for today. If it weren't for your clever brain, I wouldn't have thought that there was a demon behind this. It's too late today, you guys should go to bed early. Once this matter is resolved, I'll take you on a trip to Tianhe City." Qiao Yue touched Nan Xiao's head and smiled gently.
Qiao Yue was about to take Su Xun away when a soft little hand grabbed her wrist.
Nan Xiao stared at her with a pair of bright eyes: "Second Senior Sister, are you planning to handle this matter alone?"
Just as Qiao Yue was about to explain, Nan Xiao interrupted her.
"Second Senior Sister, we are from the same sect. We can share the joys and sorrows and advance and retreat together."
"If you think you're doing this for our own good and push us away, we'll feel bad too."
"Or..."
Nan Xiao lowered his eyes, feeling depressed, and said with a nasal tone: "In the eyes of Senior Sister, I am a burden and can't help her."
"No, no..." Qiao Yue shook her head like a rattle, and immediately coaxed in panic: "Junior sister, don't think too much. How could you be a burden? You are my favorite junior sister."
"Today's events are all thanks to Junior Sister. I was just worried that you were in danger, and I never thought of you as a burden!!!"
Qiao Yue didn't know what she was saying, and her tone was incoherent.
I only know that my junior sister seems to be about to cry...
It was her fault.
Nan Xiao sniffed, her eyes already filled with mist. "But Senior Sister, you don't despise me, so why don't you let us help you? I can't fight, but don't I still have Fourth Senior Brother? How can Senior Sister bear it all alone?"
