He didn’t finish what he was saying because everybody else knew what he was going to stay.
Sacred Land Zhongyuan’s possessions were envied by all, let alone the Tian’s whom they had issues with. It wasn’t difficult to guess what would happen next.
“Let’s just wait for them here. No reason to run around looking for them,” said Cheng Xiao Xiao nonchalantly.
“No, they won’t do that. Do you think you are…”
Old Mrs. Luo, who had finally recollected herself, immediately rebutted their words. She would not believe that her family would want to harm their own family.
Looking at her objecting to the idea so adamantly without knowing anything, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn't help but pursed her lips and casted a glance at her.
“Old Mrs. Luo, that isn’t entirely impossible. Have you forgotten that they had already poisoned Housemaster Luo? We haven’t figured out how to detoxify him yet,” Elder Zhengzong finally couldn't help but rebutted her.
“That…” Old Mrs. Luo paused for a bit and didn’t know what to say. She muttered to herself, “How cold that be? How could that be?”
Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at the others next to her and asked, “Anyone else?”
“Miss, Mr. Luo would like to see if there is anything that you can do with Mr. Luo’s poison. None of the doctors in City of Yan could do anything about it. We are afraid that we won’t be able to detoxify him,” said Elder Zhengzong.
“Oh?” Cheng Xiao Xiao frowned a little. She wasn’t a miracle doctor. Little Yuteng was usually the one who handled all the healings. But she didn’t even see the patient this time and that would make it tricky even trying to have Little Yuteng to step in to help.
Hearing his words, Luo Yuqin looked at her daughter with anticipation. Choking back her tears, she said, “Xiao Xiao, you must help your grandfather. You are the only one that we can turn to, Xiao Xiao…”
“Mom, don’t worry. I will,” replied Cheng Xiao Xiao in resignation.
She didn’t say she wouldn’t help. She couldn’t not help even if she didn’t want to.
“Xiao Xiao, don’t be made at your grandfather. He might be wrong back then but he is still family. You must try to save your grandfather, Xiao Xiao…”
Old Mrs. Luo cried and said, “If you are still upset, I will apologize to your family for him. He only did that for your uncle back then. Xiao Xiao, you…”
“Grandma, you are overthinking this. I am not thinking that at all. There’s no need to talk about what had happened in the past.” Cheng Xiao Xiao, frowning deeply, couldn’t handle the atmosphere. She stood up and said to everyone, “You carry on. Let me go see what I can do.”
She left before anyone could say anything else.
Walking out of the living room, Cheng Xiao Xiao communicated with Little Yuteng. “Well, Little Yuteng, do we have anything in our dimension that could be used as an antidote for grandpa?”
“Young Mistress, we have not yet met the person who was poisoned and won’t be able to work on anything targeting the specific poison. There’s no guarantee that we can rid him of his poison unless we are somehow able to create a universal antidote.”
“A universal antidote? I don’t think we have anything like that right now. How would we be able to do that?” This was the first time Cheng Xiao Xiao heard of something like that. She was pretty sure that it wasn’t something that they currently possess.
“Young Mistress, I have the prescription for it but we are not set up for alchemy. We have neither a furnace nor the true fire of Samadhi. If we have those two elements, we can try to concoct our own pills.”
“Are you telling me that we have all the ingredients and can concoct it at any time? You will be able to do that?”
“Of course, I have doctrines on pill concoction in my brain. I have never done it before but it’s nothing difficult at all. As long as we have all the tools we need, I can give it a try!”
