576 Enter, Enter, Enter

The fat uncle and his two friends looked at Su Xiaolu with fierce expressions.

Su Xiaolu’s expression was gentle. “Wait a minute.” She pointed at Bai Xu’s whip and explained, “You can’t apply medicine now. This girl’s whip is poisonous.”

“What?”

The fat uncle was surprised. Then, his expression changed. “I feel that my hands are a little numb. I don’t have any strength left…”

!!

His close friends frowned and immediately took out antidote pills to feed him.

Su Xiaolu walked towards Bai Xu. “Miss Bai, we’re all on the same team. There’s no need to do this. Please take out the antidote.”

The antidote pill was useless against the poison in the fat uncle’s body. It could only suppress it, but not truly cure it.

Bai Liu had already helped Bai Xu up. She glared at Su Xiaolu and replied fiercely, “There’s no antidote.”

“You brat, how can you use poison on a weapon? You’re too vicious. Hurry up and take out the antidote. Don’t force us to take action!”

The fat uncle’s friend shouted angrily.

Su Xiaolu looked at Bai Xu and said calmly, “Miss Bai, we don’t know what dangers are in the forest. Let’s travel together. We might need someone to save us later. Take out the antidote.”

“Old woman, hurry up and ask your disciple to bring the antidote over. Otherwise, we won’t be easy to deal with.”

The fat uncle’s two friends walked toward Bai Liu.

Bai Liu’s old face darkened and he did not speak.

Bai Xu bit her lip and said stubbornly, “There’s no antidote. Isn’t it very common for people to use poison on their weapons? Who asked him to grab my whip? Besides, don’t you have hidden weapons too? Aren’t your hidden weapons poisonous too?”

Su Xiaolu took out the silver needles and reached out to Bai Xu. “These are ordinary silver needles. They’re not poisonous.”

Bai Xu’s lips moved, but she was still stubborn. “What? If you say there’s no poison, then there’s no poison? Many poisons are colorless and tasteless. I’m not going to be fooled by you. What does your poison have to do with me? Anyway, there’s no antidote to my poison.”

“Besides, didn’t he whip me too? Didn’t I also injure my back? I’m a woman. How ugly would it be if I left a scar? I hurt him and he hurt me. Wouldn’t that be even? Why should I be called vicious? Moreover, he was the one who started the conflict. If he’s unhappy, he can destroy the grass and trees like me. No one is stopping him. Do I have to endure it if he stirs trouble?”

Bai Xu glared at Su Xiaolu indignantly. She had already tightened her grip on the whip in her hand. If Su Xiaolu wanted to seek justice for the fat uncle, don’t blame her for being rude.

“Madam Bai, everyone is traveling together to search for treasures. I know that everyone has their own status in the martial world, but here, everyone has to be united. It’s just a verbal dispute. It’s time to stop. There’s no need to kill anyone, right?”

Liu Zijin walked over and spoke. He cupped his hands humbly and politely at Bai Liu. He looked at Bai Xu and said, “Miss Bai, take out the antidote. It’s better to have one more friend than one more enemy. You might not be afraid, but this place is no small matter. Everyone is powerful, and it’s inevitable that there will be times when you’re not careful. Look at these trees. They’re all abnormally huge. Then, will the animals living here also be huge? If you don’t give the antidote now, both sides will suffer internecine outcomes. From time to time, you’ll face danger from ferocious beasts. How will you get out of danger without anyone helping you?”

“I think what you said just now makes sense. He was the one who attacked first. The two of you have sparred with each other. Now that it’s over, there’s no deep hatred. There’s no need to kill someone and end up with an internecine outcome.”

Liu Zijin cupped his hands at Bai Xu. He spoke gently and politely with a smile on his face.

Bai Xu pursed her lips and muttered softly, “You make it sound like he will save me after I save him.”

She didn’t look at Liu Zijin because he was very gentle. Facing such a refined man, she couldn’t be fierce.

Bai Liu looked at Liu Zijin and said to Bai Xu in a low voice, “Xu’er, give the antidote to Lord Liu.”

Bai Xu was still very arrogant, but she still took out a small bottle from her sleeve and poured out a pill for Liu Zijin. She said fiercely, “Here.”

Liu Zijin took it and thanked her gently. “Thank you, Miss Bai.”

The originally tense atmosphere was resolved just like that.

Liu Zijin took the antidote and passed it to the fat uncle.

After the fat uncle ate the antidote, he moved his hand and felt that there was no problem. His good friend applied medicine for him and bandaged his wound.

Su Xiaolu looked at Bai Liu. Bai Liu had no intention of bandaging Bai Xu’s wound. Bai Xu had no intention of treating her wound either. She only changed into a new coat and threw away the torn coat.

Su Xiaolu returned to her two masters and did not say anything.

As they continued their journey, Su Xiaolu glanced at Bai Xu. Coincidentally, Bai Xu also looked at her. When their gazes met, Bai Xu raised her head coldly and snorted.

Su Xiaolu was speechless.

This time, Bai Xu was quiet. There were some bloodstains on the clothes she had changed into, but she did not seem to mind at all.

Bai Liu did not mind either.

Su Xiaolu thought of the phrase ‘spoiled brat’.

Bai Liu did not care about what Bai Xu did. She was injured, but Bai Liu did not care. This master-disciple duo seemed so cold and heartless.

Bai Xu was arrogant and had a bad temper. It was likely that her personality was shaped unintentionally.

Su Xiaolu couldn’t help but look at the cold and arrogant old man beside her. Her heart warmed.

Old Wu looked up proudly. Now she knew how good he was.

Gui You’s lips curled up slightly.

Su Xiaolu was caught between laughter and tears at the old man’s arrogance. However, her old man was indeed good. He had doted on her since she was young, but he was stubborn and a tsundere. However, these small problems only made the old man even cuter.

Along the way, Su Xiaolu realized that Bai Xu did not make a sound of pain, even though her cheeks were covered in sweat. She kept an eye on Bai Liu’s expression.

When it was almost dark, Zhou Heng stopped to rest. In this unfamiliar place, it was not suitable for them to travel at night.

They did not know what the situation was here, so they did not start a fire. Everyone sat on the ground and ate their rations.

Bai Liu went to Zhou Heng’s side as if she had something to say.

Bai Xu watched her go over before she stood up to avoid the crowd. Her injuries were really a little painful. After traveling for a day, her clothes rubbed against her wounds, making her feel even worse.

She was about to take off her coat and apply some medicine when she heard a commotion behind her. She turned around warily and said angrily, “What are you doing here? Don’t think that I’m afraid of you just because I’m injured now!”

Su Xiaolu smiled. She took out the golden medicine and handed it to Bai Xu. “Apply some medicine. Here.”

Bai Xu hesitated. She looked at Su Xiaolu in confusion. Why was she so kind? In the beginning, they wanted to snatch something from her and she should hate her. Why would she help her?

Bai Xu’s eyes darkened. This was definitely poisonous!
