Chapter 858 - The unfathomable poison master

Shi Qiu Shuang pondered over it for a moment before saying, “In any case, I’ve already been in pain for so many years, two more months means nothing.”

“Alright then.” Sima You Yue did not force her, “I will do my best to think of a way to cure you.”

Little Seven suddenly thought of something and grabbed onto her sleeve. She asked anxiously, “Will they really need to eat a part of my flesh?”

“No, this has absolutely nothing to do with you.” Sima You Yue consoled her as she patted her head.

“But didn’t their poison master say that it would only be possible with my flesh?” Little Seven asked.

“Speaking of your poison master, where is he?” Sima You Yue looked out the window, “Didn’t you say that he’s outside preventing someone from tearing the black cloth out? Why isn’t he here although we’ve taken down all the black cloth?”

Shi Qian Zhi felt like it was a bit strange as well. Too much was happening earlier on that they had forgotten about the poison master’s presence. Thinking about it now, something felt off.

“Men!” He called out as a black clothed male immediately appeared inside the house.

“Sir Divine Envoy.” The person greeted Shi Qian Zhi.

“Where is Poison Master?” Shi Qian Zhi asked.

“Sir Poison Master has already left the inn and gone somewhere unknown.” The black clothed male replied.

“He left the inn?” Shi Qian Zhi asked.

“Yes.”

“When did he leave?” Shi Qian Zhi asked again.

“Ever since he left this house.” The black clothed male replied.

“Understood. You should head downstairs!” Shi Qian Zhi waved a hand in his direction.

With a flash, the black clothed male disappeared from the house.

“It seems that you don’t have that poison master completely under your control!” Sima You Yue said as she folded her arms.

Shi Qian Zhi was rather puzzled about where the poison master had gone, but he was gone and he couldn’t say anything now.

“Does he have anything to do with your treatment?”

“He doesn’t, but I want to meet the person who has plans on Little Seven.” Sima You Yue said.

“Then I’ll definitely let you meet him in the future. But I think that right now, you should be thinking about what to do about Junior Sister’s situation, right?”

“I won’t be able to be clear about her situation for a while. I have to go back and do my research.” Sima You Yue said, “I still have some things to do today. I’ll be back once I have a general idea.”

“You’re going back?” Shi Qian Zhi thought that she would remain here while treating his Junior Sister.

“I’m still a student right now, of course I have to return to my sect.” Sima You Yue said, “In any case, I’m sure you’ve heard of the billboard ranking competitions right? Eldest Senior should have told you about it before. It happens to be my competition period right now, so I have to go back and compete!”

“Uh… fine. Then you should hurry back.” Shi Qian Zhi took out a mother-son stone and said, “Hold on to this. I’ll be able to locate you easier with this.”

“Alright.” Sima You Yue kept the mother stone away as she led Little Seven off.

“Qian Zhi, you can’t let them leave.” An honest and low voice was heard from the doorway as a male clad in a black qipao walked in.

Shi Qian Zhi looked at the person who just came in and asked with a frown, “Where did you go? Did you not say that you would be standing guard outside?”

Lei Tian Quan completely disregarded his interrogation and chose instead to repeat solemnly, “Qian Zhi, this is a rare opportunity. You can’t let them leave.”

“You must be that poison master? The guy who said that I’m the only one who would be able to save her?” Little Seven saw Lei Tian Quan and immediately got angry.

“This should be the Eye of the Earth?” Lei Tian Quan looked at Little Seven with shining eyes. An unbridled passion started to brew in his eyes.

“You old fart, you just want to take advantage of me, don’t you?” Little Seven looked at him with anger. She clenched her fist and wanted to punch him, but Sima You Yue pulled her to a stop.

“Young Master Shi, Young Miss Shi, I have things to do, so I’ll be leaving first.” Sima You Yue nodded towards the both of them as she pulled on Little Seven, ready to leave.

“Stop!” Lei Tian Quan shouted, “You still want to leave? Since you’re here, you should obediently remain behind!”

Sima You Yue’s expression fell as she said, “What is the meaning of this? Do you insist on forcing us to stay?”

“You can go, but the Eye of the Earth has to remain behind.” Lei Tian Quan said, “She is the medicine required to save our Young Miss.”

“Bullshit!” Little Seven cursed, “Yue Yue has already said that it has absolutely nothing to do with me and I wouldn’t be able to help cure her at all. You’re just manipulating the situation to your benefit! Do you believe that I’ll kill you with a single punch?!”

Sima You Yue was not anxious as she looked at Shi Qian Zhi, asking, “What do you say?”

“Let them go.” Shi Qian Zhi ordered Lei Tian Quan, expressing his stance clearly.

“Qian Zhi, don’t you want to save Young Miss?” Lei Tian Quan looked at him with shock, “You should not forget that, in order for our sect to obtain the Eye of the Earth, we have gone through so much effort. It is right in front of our eyes now, are we just going to give up?”

Shi Qian Zhi looked at him and said, “Do you really want to cure Junior Sister, or are you fulfilling another motive?”

“Of course it is to rescue Young Miss. Young Miss’s life has been my priority all these years. Of course it is my wish for her to get better.”

“But you’ve never put in any effort at all.” Shi Qian Zhi said, “Junior Sister has been in pain for so many years, and you’ve never thought of stopping it. Did you not want to, or were you unable to?”

“Qian Zhi, this is not the time to talk about this. However, we should capture her and cure Young Miss.” Lei Tian Quan said.

“Do you really care for Young Miss Shi?” Sima You Yue sneered from the side, “If you really did care for her, why is it that you have been in here for such a long time, but you haven’t even realised that the house is different? If you cared so much for her, would your first reaction not have been to worry that there is light shining on her body?”

“I…”

“However, your entire focus, since the time you came in, has been on Little Seven.” Sima You Yue interrupted him, “I’m guessing that it is not that Young Miss Shi needs the Eye of the Earth, but that you’re the one who covets her?”

Shi Qian Zhi’s expression turned extremely dark when he heard what Sima You Yue said. She was right. Ever since Lei Tian Quan had come in, he had not even glanced at Junior Sister. Much less show any concern for her situation.

“Lei Tian Quan, is this true?”

“Shi Qian Zhi, we are from the same sect. How could you trust him but not me?” Lei Tian Quan cried out.

“Trust you? When did I ever? If it were not because Master let you come, would I have let you?” Shi Qian Zhi, “Actually, there was no use for you to come. I was merely showing Master some respect.”

“Shi Qian Zhi, I am your senior!”

“So what if you are my Senior? You’re still unable to cure Junior Sister. However, You Yue has seen her only once, but has already refined some pills to stop Junior Sister’s pain. Comparing yourself to him, your little senior status is useless.” Shi Qian Zhi said straightforwardly.

“You!’ Lei Tian Quan was so incensed that he was about to spit blood. His voice turned cold as he said, “If you don’t leave the Eye of the Earth behind today, nobody is leaving this place!”
