“Hey, Little Brother Lu, what you see is only the surface.”
Pei Yijian confidently flicked his fingertips and stylishly opened the folding fan in his hand, maintaining his carefree appearance. “Sometimes, what you see with your eyes may not necessarily be the truth.”
Given his current unserious expression, Lu Lili couldn’t tell whether his words were true or false.
She decided not to dwell on these thoughts and shifted her gaze back to the ongoing fight.
Her attention was quickly captivated by the current situation before her—
It was now Murong Ting wielding a long sword, chasing after Wen Qijin.
As Murong Ting swung her sword, she angrily exclaimed, “Who are you? I don’t know you at all! What does my love with Lu Lang have to do with you?”
“I liked Lu Lang first. If you dare, come at me instead!”
“If you dare to bully my man, I won’t let you off!”
Meanwhile, Wen Qijin skillfully dodged Murong Ting’s swinging sword and seized every opportunity to use his sword to attack Lu Xingjiang.
Lu Xingjiang was not inclined to take advantage of his superior numbers. Since his woman wanted to teach someone a lesson on his behalf, he was happy to stand aside and be a spectator.
When Wen Qijin held his sword and stabbed at Lu Xingjiang, Lu XIngjiang cleverly evaded every attack without striking back.
For a while, the battle between the three of them became somewhat comical.
Murong Ting tried to kill Wen Qijin, but he dodged.
Wen Qijin tried to attack Lu Xingjiang while dodging, but he dodged too!
The three of them seemed evenly matched in strength, and it seemed difficult to determine a winner in a short period of time.
“Wow, that young man in the blue robe is really skilled. He has been chased by Murong Ting for so long without fighting back, and he hasn’t been injured!”
Someone nearby suddenly exclaimed.
Skilled?
Upon hearing this, Lu Lili felt like a string in her mind was lightly plucked.
She immediately widened her eyes, realizing something.
Skilled, doesn’t that mean strong martial arts?
She turned her head and earnestly looked at Pei Yijian, who was standing beside her.
If her perception was correct, this guy was also a skilled martial artist…
This farcical encounter among the three ultimately ended with Wen Qijin receiving a cut on his back from Murong Ting.
Although the wound was not deep, the impact was strong, and the blue robe on Wen Qijin’s back was stained with blood. He looked like a lifeless soul, miserably collapsing on the ground.
When Pei Yijian and Zhou Yue carried him away, Lu Lili didn’t forget to invite Guo Lin, the Female Leader of the Divine Physician Sect, to follow them.
Watching the hurried departure of Lu Lili and the others, Xu Rui, who had been standing in the shadows, lowered his head desolately.
In a mansion at a bustling street corner—
Guo Lin came out of a room carrying a medicine box on her back.
Seeing the obvious worry on her face, Lu Lili, who had been waiting outside the door, stood up to greet her. “Linlin, is Mr. Wen seriously injured?”
“Not serious, he only has external injuries. I have already prescribed him the gold-healing medicine that I personally developed. It should heal quickly in a short period of time,” Guo Lin replied.
However, her expression suddenly turned serious as she continued, “But…”
Lu Lili grabbed her hand and anxiously asked, “But what?”
“He has been poisoned with a rare toxin. I estimate that we need Jin Qi to come and see if she can help detoxify him,” Guo Lin sighed, realizing that her medical skills were still lacking and she needed to continue studying.
Upon hearing the word ‘poisoned,’ Lu Lili’s face also became grave. “Then I’ll go find Qiqi right away!”
“Don’t be hasty, Lili,” Guo Lin stopped her. “Mr. Wen has been suffering from this poison for quite some time. I believe he must have been regularly taking medication to suppress its effects. It may not flare up immediately.”
Guo Lin looked up at the bright moon in the sky and continued, “Now it’s late in the evening, Jin Qi has already returned to her cave.”
Lu Lili nodded in understanding.
In Jin Qi’s cave, she keeps and nurtures rare poisonous creatures. She goes back every night to handle her poison research.
If Lu Lili want to find her, Lu Lili really has to wait until daytime.
