Chapter 686 "Can't Let Her Live (9)"

Zhongnan remained silent for the longest time before eventually answering his brother's call for war. "Muzhen has already broken through to the higher level of the Monarch Rank while we are still stuck at the mid-level…"

One level of difference may not seem like much, however, when ones at their caliber, even an inch of improvement could mean a lifetime of effort. While they're stuck in their current level for all these years, the rest of the elder council has either reached their level or even surpa.s.sed them.

“I don’t care!” Zhongbei grew vicious in his voice, "Back then I didn't rush off to kill that old witch because I couldn't bare to see the young lord stand alone without support. But now I can't take it anymore! Its either she dies or I die today!"

After nearly twenty years of suppression, this old fella obviously couldn't take it anymore and would do anything to get even. Regardless of that being giving up his own life in exchange!

“s.h.i.+fu,” Bai Yan's voice suddenly interjects itself into the conversation. “I just picked up a strange bottle while I was training. Minding having a look at what it is?"

Making a look of surprise on their faces, Zhongnan and Zhongbei immediately turns to the indicated object: "What did you find?"

Displayed before the two brothers were a white porcelain bottle of odd design.

“This is….”

As soon the cork was twisted open and allowed the fragrance to waft out, the two nearly fainted from the overwhelming smell. Though they didn't know exactly what the three pills were inside, their experience told them its something amazing because their bodies were taking in the surrounding energy like a vacuum. That's something they haven't felt in years ever since they fell victim to Muzhen's scheme.

Exchanging a glance of astonishment with each other, both brothers suspected the pills might just be able to cure their injuries.

“Yan'er, where did you get this medicine? Did you really pick it up by accident?" Downright shaking in his hand now, Zhongnan asks with a stern expression.

Putting on a doubtful and confused face in return, Bai Yan had a lot of trouble keeping up her act: "Yaaa, I found it inside a cave up in the mountains. Is there a problem? Umm, I really did find it by accident."

“OF COURSE THERE'S A PROBLEM! Although I don't know what exactly these three pills are but it's very likely able to cure our injuries."

“The two of you are hurt?!!” Hurrying to get up from the floor now, Bai Yan makes the most awkward and fake look of someone being shocked by a hidden secret. "Are you both okay? Where are you hurt?"

If it was any other person out there, they would surely call out the woman's horrible act. However, since these two brothers are putting all their trust into the lying fox over there, they didn't suspect a thing.

“Maybe… Yan'er is fated to be our savior, that's why she was able to pick up this medicine?" Hesitating for a good moment, the younger Zhongbei offers his suggestion in a puzzled tone.

After all, this really was too coincidental even for him…..

In truth, this was no coincidence at all, Bai Yan's been preparing these Dan pills for some time now during the past few days. And as a precaution, she even went the extra mile to make three pills instead of two just so it doesn't rouse suspicion. Well, not that it would help when her acting was so poorly done that even an idiot would notice something was fishy.

“Disciple, you should rest for today since you just went through something so extreme. Don't worry, your two s.h.i.+fus here would definitely get revenge for you!" A gleam of killing intent instantly takes hold of Zhongnan's iris after saying that.

Muzhen…

If she had stopped causing trouble then that's that, but now she's having the nerve to harm my newly acquired apprentice. She's asking for it! We will make her pay for everything. Blood for blood, death for death!
