147 Pill Testing
Nie Lin sized up Chao Bai and Kong Rui. “I have a small request. Since you guys are alchemists, if you guys can do it, I’ll let you guys go!”
When she heard Nie Lin’s words, Kong Rui’s eyes darted around and asked, “What is it?”
Nie Lin still had a smile on his face, but a scheming look flashed across his eyes. “Test medicine!”
Kong Rui’s expression changed slightly. Even with the veiled hat blocking her face, Nie Lin could still sense the change in Kong Rui’s emotions.
He laughed out loud. “You don’t dare to?”
Kong Rui gritted her teeth. “How would I know if you’re taking the opportunity to harm us or not?!”
“Me?” Nie Lin sneered. “Do you guys still have the right to choose now?”
As soon as Nie Lin finished speaking, the guards immediately surrounded Kong Rui and Chao Bai.
Kong Rui gritted her teeth, but Chao Bai still didn’t move. After a while, Kong Rui said, “Alright! I can agree to test the medicine, but you have to let my brother go!”
Seeing that there was danger, Kong Rui could only think of protecting him and letting him leave first.
At this moment, Chao Bai, who had not moved at all, said, “I’m afraid you don’t just want us to test the medicine, right?”
“What do you think I want to do?” Nie Lin seemed to be very amused as he asked Chao Bai.
“You’re poisoned and currently lack a good medicine to detoxify the poison,” Chao Bai said nonchalantly. “Although you have a few pills, you don’t know which one is truly effective! Am I right?”
Not to mention Kong Rui, even the surrounding guards were dumbfounded.
If not for the fact that Nie Lin was in front of them, making them dare not to be too impudent, they would have already gathered together and whispered to each other!
Nie Lin’s expression changed and he stared at Chao Bai intently. “What else do you know?”
Chao Bai chuckled and continued, “I also know that you weren’t recently infected with this poison. It’s been quite a while now. It’s just that for some reason, this poison has acted up recently, and it’s uncontrollable, so you want to test the medicine on someone! However, even if you find a person to test the medicine on, the outcome might not be what you want!”
When Nie Lin heard Chao Bai’s words, his expression became livid, as if he was very agitated.
Kong Rui also looked at Chao Bai in surprise. She didn’t expect Chao Bai to find out so much in such a short period of time!
Nie Lin thought for a moment before saying to the guards, “Bring them to my courtyard! I want to personally interrogate these two people who trespassed into the Nie family’s residence!”
The guards were dismayed, but no one dared to disobey Nie Lin’s orders.
Chao Bai gently pushed Kong Rui’s arm. Only then did Kong Rui come back to her senses and look at Chao Bai.
Chao Bai sent a voice transmission with his divine sense. “I’ll think of a way to knock him out later. Run when you have the chance!”
Kong Rui wanted to refute, but she saw Chao Bai turn around and follow the guards. He had no intention of letting her refuse.
However, Kong Rui wasn’t someone who abandoned her companion and only cared about her own safety!
She immediately sent a telepathic message to Chao Bai. “Escape with me! I won’t leave you here alone!”
Kong Rui could feel Chao Bai’s back suddenly stiffen, but he didn’t stop.
After a while, Kong Rui heard Chao Bai’s voice transmission again. “Alright.”
The two of them were brought to Nie Lin’s courtyard by the guards.
The courtyard seemed very gloomy. Even the decorations inside were black.
As soon as Kong Rui walked into the courtyard, she felt a chill down her spine. She kept feeling that someone was spying on her.
Chao Bai silently slowed down and walked beside Kong Rui.
